~10 min read 1,884 words

With this huge question mark in his head, Zhao Desan knocked on the door of the private room. Hearing the knocking sound outside, Xu Min's voice came from inside: "Please come in."

So, Zhao Desan tried his best to pile up a smile on his face to cover up the thoughts that had made him somewhat depressed recently, and then pushed open the private room door. As soon as the door was pushed open, Xu Min, who was sitting by the table, stood up with a smirk, and greeted him with a smile while welcoming him.

Just when Zhao Desan was greeting Xu Min, suddenly a sweet and moving voice like a natural sound entered his ears: "Brother Liu, hello."

Why is this voice so familiar? Zhao Desan's first reaction was that the woman calling him must be an acquaintance. Thinking of Xu Min inviting him to dinner for no reason, he immediately associated with one person—Du Xiaochan, and then turned his head in the direction of the voice. Sure enough, I saw Du Xiaochan dressed up and standing aside, smiling at him with faint shyness. Zhao Desan was stunned for a moment, then pretended to be indifferent and laughed and said: "Xiao Du is also here." As he spoke, he glanced at Xu Min beside him with the corner of his eye.

Xu Min seemed to understand that Zhao Desan knew that this dinner was not so flat, so he immediately laughed and said: "Deputy Section Chief Liu, sit down, let's eat and talk."

Zhao Desan saw that Du Xiaochan also seemed to realize that the atmosphere had changed slightly, and the shyness on her face increased a bit. In order to take care of her self-esteem, Zhao Desan pretended to look at a table of dishes indifferently, and said with a smile: "Director Xu has ordered the dishes, so sit down and let's eat and talk." As he spoke, he pulled open the chair and sat down.

"The key is that I didn't know when Brother Liu could come, so I ordered the dishes and waited. I didn't expect Brother Liu to be willing to give this light, I, Xu Min, am really a little flattered." Xu Min flattered.

Zhao Desan smiled lightly, maintained his consistent modest style in front of Du Xiaochan, and said: "What did Director Xu say, isn't it just a meal? It is my honor that Director Xu can invite me to dinner."

Xu Min laughed, then picked up the wine glass and began to say the toast. He smiled sincerely and said: "Today is the first time I, Xu Min, and you, Deputy Section Chief Liu, sit at a table to eat. This first glass of wine, I, Xu Min, will toast you, Deputy Section Chief Liu, first." As he spoke, he raised the wine glass.

"Director Xu, you are too polite. Reasonably speaking, I am a junior, I should toast you. Come, Director Xu." Zhao Desan glanced at Du Xiaochan, who looked a bit restrained and reserved, with the corner of his eye, and while raising his wine glass, he said modestly with a light smile.

The two wine glasses touched lightly, making a crisp sound, and then each tilted their necks, and a glass of wine was poured into their stomachs.

After putting down the wine glass, Xu Min smacked his lips, peeled off the chopstick cover for Zhao Desan, greeted and said: "Brother Liu, come and eat a bite of food, let's eat and talk."

Zhao Desan caught the chopsticks, smiled, picked up a bite of food and sent it into his mouth, while eating, and opened the conversation: "Director Xu, is the station busy these two days?"

"Not very busy." Xu Min answered with a smile.

Zhao Desan "oh", and then brought the topic to the matter of Li Fang bringing people to ask for wages that day, put down his chopsticks and said: "Director Xu, thanks to your police station for sending police in time that day, otherwise I would have been beaten by those migrant workers who came to ask for wages. I thank Director Xu here."

Xu Min laughed and said: "Brother Liu, you are too polite. Protecting the life and property of the people from loss is our duty as police."

Zhao Desan laughed, and then turned his head to Du Xiaochan who had been silent and said: "What is Xiao Du busy with recently?"

"I... I..." Du Xiaochan, who was asked by Zhao Desan's question, actually stammered and couldn't answer, but cast her eyes on Xu Min, as if waiting for his help. Seeing the interaction between Du Xiaochan and Xu Min, Zhao Desan cursed secretly in his heart: Damn, it seems that the relationship is really unusual, good cabbage was arched by pigs!

Seeing Du Xiaochan's help-seeking eyes, Xu Min immediately reacted to something, and then smiled at Zhao Desan and said: "By the way, Brother Liu, how is the matter I asked you for help last time?"

"Xiao Du came to me that day, I wrote a note and asked her to take it to the hospital nursing department to find Sister Fang? Didn't she arrange it for Xiao Du?" Zhao Desan said a little puzzled, and moved his eyes to Du Xiaochan, and also understood that today's dinner was set up because of this problem.

"Xiao Du said that Sister Fang agreed verbally, but she hasn't given her news yet." Speaking of the topic, Xu Min said a little anxiously for Du Xiaochan.

"How is this going?" Zhao Desan looked at Xu Min and said to himself puzzledly.

"Is it because Brother Liu, your relationship with that Minister of the Nursing Department is also very general?" Xu Min attributed the problem to the relationship between Zhao Desan and A Fang.

Zhao Desan was thinking about this problem. Being asked by Xu Min, Zhao Desan blurted out in a hurry: "Who said that, the relationship is very unusual."

As soon as this remark came out, Xu Min and Du Xiaochan immediately stared at Zhao Desan in surprise. Xu Min's expression then became a little strange, leaned over and whispered: "Is it also colorful flags fluttering like your brother?"

Because Du Xiaochan was present, in order to maintain his living Lei Feng image in the heart of this little beauty, Zhao Desan glared at Xu Min extremely seriously, tried his best to prove his innocence, and said: "Director Xu, where did you think! Am I that kind of person?" After being serious, he added an explanation and said: "I mean that my relationship with A Fang, the Minister of the Hospital Nursing Department, is quite good, and arranging a nurse to go in should not be a problem."

Xu Min looked at Zhao Desan a little puzzled and asked: "Then it's been a few days, why is there no news yet? Xiao Du is a little anxious waiting, tonight just take advantage of this meal, and ask Brother Liu to see if this matter can be implemented as soon as possible. Xiao Du doesn't work for a day, and her heart is panicked."

Zhao Desan listened to Xu Min's words seriously, and then turned to ask Du Xiaochan, who was slightly restrained, and asked: "Xiao Du, you took my note to find Sister Fang of the Nursing Department that day, what did she say?" Recently, Zhao Desan has encountered too many annoying things. If it weren't for Xu Min arranging this dinner to talk about this matter specifically today, he would have really ignored it.

"Sister Fang looked at the note you asked me to bring, and said that she would contact you, Brother Liu, for specific things." Du Xiaochan looked at Zhao Desan with a little shyness, lowered her head shyly, and answered in a gentle voice.

"She will contact me?" Zhao Desan was even more puzzled. He thought, what the hell is this A Fang doing? If she doesn't intend to help him with this favor, don't agree to this matter. Now it makes him a little unable to step down in front of Xu Min. After all, Xu Min has also walked a few conveniences for him. He can't owe others' favors. He just wants to take advantage of helping Du Xiaochan arrange work to pay back this favor.

"Didn't that Minister of the Nursing Department contact you?" Xu Min looked at Zhao Desan and asked.

Zhao Desan looked at Xu Min, thought for a while thoughtfully, in order not to lose his face in front of Xu Min, Zhao Desan pretended to suddenly realize and patted his forehead, and said with self-blame: "Look at you, why did I forget this matter? Recently, I was really dizzy by the matter of migrant workers asking for wages. I said why Sister Fang called me two days ago. I was busy and didn't answer it, and I forgot to call her back for a while. Why is my memory so bad!"

Seeing Zhao Desan's reaction, the expression on Xu Min's face relaxed. After all, Du Xiaochan is his little lover now. If even a job cannot be arranged properly for his little lover, then he really loses his status as a police station director, and he will lose face in front of Du Xiaochan. Zhao Desan said so, Xu Min was relieved, and could lift his head in front of Du Xiaochan. I saw Xu Min immediately show a proud expression on his face, and said to Du Xiaochan: "Xiao Du, look, I said there is no problem, isn't it just arranging a job, it made you worry that it couldn't be arranged, it's not a big deal, I, Xu Min, am also a police station director, and there is a capable friend like Brother Liu, the job problem is a small matter." Xu Min said this really roundly. On the one hand, he established his male self-esteem in front of Du Xiaochan and saved face for himself. On the other hand, he flattered Zhao Desan, and while selling himself, he also brought along a bit of flattery.

Zhao Desan understood Xu Min's psychology of wanting to save face in front of Du Xiaochan, so he cooperated seamlessly. He looked at Xu Min, who had a proud feeling on his face, with a tacit understanding, and then continued the conversation and said to Du Xiaochan: "Xiao Du, don't worry about the job problem. Even if Director Xu doesn't let me help you arrange to work in the hospital, he definitely has a way to put you in other units, for example, working in the public security system, being a female police officer, which is much more majestic than being a nurse."

Xu Min heard that Zhao Desan was intentionally flattering himself in front of Du Xiaochan, and the gratitude in his heart was born! While looking at Zhao Desan with a smirk from time to time, he said: "Xiao Du studied medical major, it is better to have development prospects in the hospital, this matter will trouble Brother Liu." As he spoke, Xu Min gave Du Xiaochan a wink, reminded with a smile: "Xiao Du, people Deputy Section Chief Liu helped you arrange work, why don't you toast Deputy Section Chief Liu?" ===== CHAPTER 1919 =====
