Chapter 2167: Lost in Thought

Consequently, Zheng the Eunuch said his thoughts to Secretary Jin while lost in thought: "Secretary Jin, if we have to choose someone from the Provincial Construction Committee to go down and be responsible for the work of the District Construction Committee, I think Xia Jian from the Planning Division might be more suitable, right?"

Secretary Jin had not heard of Xia Jian's name, let alone knew how his ability was. He had Zhao Desan as a candidate in his heart, so he naturally did not agree much with the candidate proposed by Zheng the Eunuch. He shook his head and said, "Old Zheng, I don't know how this Xia Jian's work ability is. I have a candidate here. I don't know if he is suitable?"

Hearing that Secretary Jin already had a candidate in his heart, Zheng the Eunuch was stunned for a moment and asked with a fawning smile, "Secretary Jin, who is the candidate you thought of?"

Secretary Jin took a puff of his cigarette and said unhurriedly, "Zhao Desan. I think Comrade Xiao Zhao's work ability is very outstanding. Look at that time when he went down to the district to inspect work. The ability shown by Comrade Xiao Zhao made me very satisfied. To tell a joke, Old Zheng, if Xiao Zhao hadn't come to the district to help you out that day, I would have criticized you bloody that day, right? Isn't it?"

Secretary Jin was telling the truth. Indeed, if he hadn't temporarily called Zhao Desan to help Secretary Jin answer some questions that day in order not to lose face in front of everyone, he would probably have been scolded by Secretary Jin. It was precisely with Zhao Desan's help that he escaped this disaster. However, it was because of that time that Zhao Desan fully displayed his talents in front of Secretary Jin, which made Secretary Jin look at him with new eyes and left an excellent impression in his heart from then on. After hearing that the candidate proposed by Secretary Jin was Zhao Desan, Zheng the Eunuch really regretted calling Zhao Desan over that day. He would rather be scolded by Secretary Jin in front of so many people than watch that guy be like a fish in water in officialdom, young, and about to take another step up from a division-level cadre.

"Yes, yes, yes." Zheng the Eunuch smiled extremely embarrassedly, nodded, and said three 'yes's.

Secretary Jin asked straight to the point, "Then Old Zheng, what do you think of my idea?"

"Zhao Desan's work ability is outstanding, and being responsible for the work of the Development Zone Construction Committee should not be a big problem, but... but..." Zheng the Eunuch naturally understood that he could not directly oppose his proposal in front of Secretary Jin, but the old guy was still extremely reluctant to watch Zhao Desan soar to the sky with Secretary Jin's help.

"But what? Old Zheng, tell me your thoughts, let me listen." Seeing Zheng the Eunuch's hesitant appearance, Secretary Jin asked.

Zheng the Eunuch smiled respectfully and said, "Secretary Jin, it's just that Zhao Desan is still too young. He hasn't been in the position of Deputy Division Chief for long, and he hasn't shown any particularly powerful over-the-top qualities. If he is promoted to the District Construction Committee to be responsible for the work there now, first of all, from the perspective of the 'Civil Servant Law', it belongs to violating regulations. Secondly, there will definitely be people who are unconvinced and have opinions. When the time comes, the complaints from below will not be very good for your reputation, Secretary Jin, right?"

Secretary Jin could see that the two concerns raised by Zheng the Eunuch were entirely out of personal resentment to block Zhao Desan's development. Sometimes, once an impression of a person is established in someone else's heart, it is difficult to change. Since the time Zhao Desan established an extremely good impression in Secretary Jin's heart when inspecting work, Secretary Jin's impression of Zhao Desan had been deeply rooted. Coupled with the fact that District Mayor Wu had also mentioned to him more than once that she wanted Zhao Desan to go to the development zone to cooperate with her work, under the combined effect of these aspects, Secretary Jin had already made up his mind to arrange for Zhao Desan to be responsible for the work of the Construction Committee in the district. On one hand, he wanted him to be entrusted with a critical mission and take on the great responsibility of developing and building the development zone. On the other hand, he could also take this opportunity to carefully examine Zhao Desan's ability. Regarding the two concerns raised by Zheng the Eunuch, Secretary Jin laughed, as if he didn't care at all, and said, "Old Zheng, you are also a sensible person. For young comrades like Zhao Desan who have extremely outstanding work ability, I think some systems and frameworks are not necessarily applicable. Isn't there a 'break-the-rules promotion' clause in the system? Old comrades should not always stick to the rules. When it is time to be bold and innovative, they should also be decisive. For young talents like Xiao Zhao, we should give him a higher stage, right? As for what you said about being afraid of people below talking about the promotion of Zhao Desan, Old Zheng, that is your petty-mindedness. If Zhao Desan really has two brushes and changes the status quo of the District Construction Committee in a short time and makes achievements, I think these voices will also subside, right?"

"Yes... Secretary Jin, you are right..." Secretary Jin refuted Zheng the Eunuch until he had nothing to say. He could only smile embarrassedly and nod repeatedly.

"I called you, Old Zheng, to come over today just to talk about this matter. Not only do I think so, but District Mayor Wu of the District Committee also has this idea and has mentioned this matter to me more than once. Today I will tell you, Old Zheng. If you have no opinions and do not oppose it, then this matter is settled. I will start arranging the relevant procedures." Secretary Jin's attitude returned to that gentle appearance.

Facing Secretary Jin, who was the Secretary of the Provincial Committee, his idea was an order. Zheng the Eunuch naturally did not dare to have any opposing words anymore. He could only hold an extremely reluctant mood, make a fawning appearance, and say insincere words. He said, "Since Secretary Jin thinks so, then I am definitely consistent with your idea, Secretary Jin. Whatever you say, Secretary Jin, we will do."

Although Zheng the Eunuch said it very lightly, his face still revealed a reluctant expression. Seeing Zheng the Eunuch's appearance, Secretary Jin laughed and asked, "Old Zheng, why do I see that you seem to have some other thoughts? If you have any thoughts, just say them out."

Seeing Secretary Jin suspecting him, Zheng the Eunuch hurriedly shook his head and said with a full face of smiles, "No, no, I am consistent with Secretary Jin's idea."

Secretary Jin laughed and said, "That's good. As long as you have this awareness, Old Zheng, then I will prepare to arrange the procedures for transferring Zhao Desan to the district."

Zheng the Eunuch nodded and said, "Secretary Jin, then you arrange it. If you have any other instructions, then I won't disturb your work, Secretary Jin?"

Secretary Jin nodded and said, "That's fine, Old Zheng, you go back first. I will call you again when the matter is arranged."

"Okay, Secretary Jin, then I will go first." Saying that, Zheng the Eunuch withdrew from Secretary Jin's office. After coming out of Secretary Jin's office, the fake smile on Zheng the Eunuch's face stiffened, and two flames erupted from those triangular eyes. This trip to the Provincial Committee really gave him an indescribable sense of frustration, as if he had lost this game in the secret competition with Zhao Desan. However, thinking back to the secret design that made Zhao Desan taste the feeling of being unable to speak after eating coptis, he felt a little comforted in his heart.

In the car back to the Construction Committee, Zheng the Eunuch thought carefully and suddenly seemed to have his mind enlightened. He felt that transferring Zhao Desan from the Provincial Construction Committee to the district was not necessarily a bad thing for him. At least he would not feel annoyed every day when he saw Zhao Desan's proud appearance. Without this thorn in his side, he could dominate the Provincial Construction Committee and not be influenced by anyone. For example, when he wanted to think of Lan Mei, he would not be secretly obstructed by Zhao Desan. Sometimes Zheng the Eunuch really admired that kid Zhao Desan, feeling that the stinky kid really had two brushes and his brain was particularly clever. Even without Su Qing, this big tree as a backer, as long as he didn't offend him before, he would definitely mix very well. But he still didn't expect that this stinky kid would be so appreciated by Secretary Jin. It seems that he really has to be careful about this kid in the future.

At this time, after Zhao Desan finished Su Qing's call, he was considering in the office whether Zheng the Eunuch would speak ill of him to Secretary Jin after going to the Provincial Committee, and the office door was knocked.

After his thoughts were interrupted, Zhao Desan shouted impatiently toward the door, "Who is it?"

"It's your Sister He!" He Liping's voice came from outside, and then the door was pushed open, and He Liping's figure appeared at the door.

Seeing He Liping come in, Zhao Desan stood up immediately, greeted He Liping enthusiastically, and said, "Yo, Sister He, you are here? Do you have any instructions again?"

He Liping glared at him and asked Zhao Desan angrily, "Why were you so fierce just now! Did you eat gunpowder?"

Zhao Desan saw that He Liping was still holding a grudge against his loud "Who is it!" just now, so he immediately said to her with a cheeky face, "I've been angry lately, and my temper is a bit big."

Seeing Zhao Desan's cheeky and rogue appearance, He Liping rolled her eyes at him again and said angrily, "You, Xiao Zhao, can also be angry?"

Zhao Desan laughed and said, "Of course. If you don't do that for a long time, you will be angry."

"Xiao Zhao, then what do you mean?" Seeing Zhao Desan's lustful appearance, He Liping walked directly to him, sat on the armrest of his chair, and gently placed a jade arm on his shoulder.

&nbs

p; "Hehe, Sister He, it depends on whether it is convenient for you?" Zhao Desan raised his head and asked with a bad smile.

He Liping blinked those peach blossom eyes charmingly, threw electricity at Zhao Desan, and said in a tone that seemed very indifferent, "What is inconvenient for me?" As she spoke, the hand on his shoulder began to gently pinch Zhao Desan's shoulder.

That slight kneading made Zhao Desan's whole body feel numb, and he let out a comfortable 'ouch'. While enjoying it, he asked, "I'm afraid that Zheng the Eunuch will find out."

"Old Zheng went to the Provincial Committee, what are you afraid of." He Liping said, lifted her butt from the armrest of the chair, and moved directly onto Zhao Desan's lap. That plump butt pressed tightly against Zhao Desan's leg, and that elastic contact made him immediately feel the reaction of his whole body tightening. He Liping's flirtatious face and those peach blossom eyes looking at him in a dazed and charming way made Zhao Desan have an unbearable desire.

Just as the two were hugging together like glue and starting to bite their mouths, the office door was suddenly knocked. This sudden knocking interrupted the good deed of the two. He Liping hurriedly got up from Zhao Desan in a panic, stood aside, pulled her clothes, and then naturally combed her slightly messy hair. ===== CHAPTER 2168 =====
