Chapter 2170

Zheng the Eunuch blew a smoke ring and continued to ask, "Then are you willing to contribute your strength to your current position? I am very optimistic about your work ability."

From Zheng the Eunuch's words, Zhao Desan heard the implication. It seemed that Zheng the Eunuch didn't want him to leave here? To be precise, it should be that this old fox didn't want him to be promoted, right? Zhao Desan answered smoothly, "Director, look at what you said. These things are not something I can decide. It depends on your and the organization's arrangements. Whatever the organization arranges, I will do."

Zheng the Eunuch listened to Zhao Desan's watertight words, laughed, and simply cut to the point, revealing the purpose of calling him up. He said in a gentle tone, "Comrade Xiao Zhao, actually, the higher-ups want to adjust your work and transfer you to the district to work. I want to ask for your opinion. Do you want to stay in our Provincial Construction Committee, or go to the district?"

Hearing that Zheng the Eunuch finally confessed the purpose of calling him up, although Zhao Desan was as clear as a mirror in his heart, he still pretended to be very surprised, his eyes wide as a cow's, his mouth wide open, looking at Zheng the Eunuch with an unbelievable look, and then repeated his words, saying, "The higher-ups want to... adjust my work? Why... why?"

Zhao Desan's acting was really not bad, acting out a person's surprise vividly, completely fooling the treacherous and cunning Zheng the Eunuch. Seeing his look of great surprise, Zheng the Eunuch nodded and said, "I went to Secretary Jin's place at the Provincial Committee this morning. Secretary Jin's meaning is that he wants to arrange for you to go to the district to work. Comrade Xiao Zhao, what do you think of this arrangement?"

Zhao Desan pretended to be very helpless and said, "Director, I... I'd better look at the leader's arrangement."

"Comrade Xiao Zhao, you have to think clearly. The development prospects in the Provincial Construction Committee cannot be compared with those in the District Construction Committee. Transferring from the Provincial Construction Committee to the District Construction Committee, you also know that this is to some extent a step backward, which is extremely unfavorable to your future," Zheng the Eunuch really thought Zhao Desan knew nothing about this matter, and played a password to fool Zhao Desan.

Damn it! You really think I don't know anything! Zhao Desan knew Zheng the Eunuch's fooling well, cursed secretly in his heart, and deliberately looked very helpless, saying, "Director, what you said is also true. But since this is Secretary Jin's idea, then I can only obey the organization's arrangement, right?"

Zheng the Eunuch extinguished the cigarette butt, glanced at Zhao Desan with strange eyes, and then said meaningfully, "Comrade Xiao Zhao, your work ability is outstanding. To tell you the truth, I really don't want you to leave the Provincial Construction Committee. Once you go to the district to work, it will definitely have a great impact on your future. For the sake of your future and the work of our Provincial Construction Committee, Comrade Xiao Zhao, my meaning is to see if you can find your cousin, Secretary Su, to talk about your thoughts and let her convey them to Secretary Jin. In this way, Secretary Jin might reconsider."

Damn it, you want to stop me from being promoted! Listening to Zheng the Eunuch's high-sounding words, Zhao Desan cursed secretly in his heart while looking a bit embarrassed and said, "Director, I'm afraid that's not very good. How dare I make suggestions to Secretary Jin? I think it's better for you to find Secretary Jin and talk about it, right?" Zhao Desan said the words extremely smoothly, handing the initiative to Zheng the Eunuch.

Hearing Zhao Desan say this, Zheng the Eunuch really didn't know what to say for a while. He laughed and deliberately said alarmingly, "Comrade Xiao Zhao, then it seems you don't care about your own future either?"

Zhao Desan looked a bit embarrassed and said, "Director, how should I put this? Since it is the higher-ups' meaning, how can I be embarrassed to go against the organization's meaning? It's better to obey the organization's arrangement. Whatever the organization asks me to do, I will do."

Zheng the Eunuch looked at Zhao Desan's unyielding appearance and knew that it was difficult to fool this guy into taking the initiative to find Su Qing to talk about this matter. After thinking carefully, Su Qing had such great power in the Provincial Committee, and she must be clear about Zhao Desan's transfer affairs, and it couldn't be hidden from her at all. So, he turned his back with a look of disappointment, sighed, and said, "That's fine, Comrade Xiao Zhao, you go down and work first, let me think about it again."

Hearing Zheng the Eunuch's helpless sigh, Zhao Desan knew that this old guy was unhappy to see him transferred to the District Construction Committee to be the head. When the time came, the sky would be high and the emperor would be far away, and it would not be as easy for this old guy to fix him as it was now. He must be very reluctant to see him transferred to the district to work. But Zhao Desan's mood was the exact opposite. Thinking that he was about to be promoted again, and from Deputy Division Chief to Director of the District Construction Committee, this step was very big. If it weren't for such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, it would probably take five or six years to complete this step. And now, it only took him one year to complete this step from Deputy Division Chief to Director of the District Construction Committee, which was simply a qualitative leap. In Xijing politics, his political curve was probably unprecedented and would not be followed. Zhao Desan understood that Zheng the Eunuch's mood at this moment should be quite uncomfortable. He knew that this time it was Secretary Jin who personally stepped in to arrange his personnel transfer. Zheng the Eunuch, this old fox, definitely couldn't change this situation. So, he deliberately said to Zheng the Eunuch, "Then Director, you think about it again, and see if you can let me continue to stay in our Provincial Construction Committee to work. I beg you."

Zheng the Eunuch turned his head, looked at Zhao Desan, whose acting was realistic, with strange eyes, and then said to him with a heavy heart, "Okay, you go down and busy yourself first, I will think of a way."

"Okay, Director, I will go down and busy myself first," Zhao Desan said, a trace of strange expression flashed in his eyes, and then he stood up and walked toward the door. After turning around, a proud and cunning smile appeared on his face. He thought that this time he could be considered to have had good luck. Originally, Zheng the Eunuch temporarily asked him to help him out, but he didn't expect that he would fully display his work ability in front of Secretary Jin, which instead gave him an opportunity to rise straight up in his political career. It really lived up to the ancient saying, "Searching for it through iron shoes, it takes no effort to get it." To tell the truth, although Zhao Desan's ambition in his political career was not small, at least in the past year or two, he had never thought that he would suddenly be promoted to the district to be the head of the District Construction Committee when he had been in the position of Deputy Division Chief for less than a year. He would suddenly change from a role who nodded and bowed to others to be the boss of a government unit, standing on the opposite side of the role he was before, becoming a role who watched others nod and bow to him and obey him. Thinking proudly, he opened Zheng the Eunuch's office door. Zhao Desan suddenly saw He Liping hurriedly walking forward sneakily.

Zhao Desan was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what was going on. He knew that He Liping was a woman with deep scheming. She must have felt that Zheng the Eunuch called him up to talk about things as soon as he returned from the Provincial Committee, and felt that there was a secret to be told, so she followed him to eavesdrop. Stunned for a moment, he closed Zheng the Eunuch's office door and pretended that he hadn't discovered anything. When he turned and walked toward the stairwell, He Liping's voice came from behind: "Comrade Xiao Zhao, wait a moment." Her voice was very small, probably because she was afraid that Zheng the Eunuch, who was racking his brains to think of ways to block Zhao Desan's promotion in the office, would hear it.

Hearing He Liping calling him, Zhao Desan stopped immediately, turned his head to look, and saw He Liping winking at him, signaling him to go to her office, and then turned and walked toward her office.

Zhao Desan was really clever. He understood He Liping's hint, nodded silently, smiled at her like a ghost, and then lightened his steps, passed Zheng the Eunuch's office door quietly, and followed He Liping to her office.

After entering the office, He Liping warned Zhao Desan vigilantly, "Comrade Xiao Zhao, lock the door."

Zhao Desan knew that He Liping called him over to ask about what was said in Zheng the Eunuch's office, but he still deliberately played dumb, while smiling badly at her, "Sister He, you wouldn't want to 'continue the previous relationship' after what just happened, right?"

He Liping looked at Zhao Desan's bad appearance. What he expressed was self-evident to her. Just about half an hour ago, when Zhao Desan and He Liping were completely immersed in that burning atmosphere, Han Rui's knocking interrupted the good deed of the two, which made both of them feel very depressed. But at this time, there was no such atmosphere, and He Liping couldn't lift that energy at all. The only purpose of her calling Zhao Desan to the office was what Zhao Desan guessed—to ask about the content of the conversation between Zheng the Eunuch and him. "Comrade Xiao Zhao, I think your courage is getting bigger and bigger. Old Zheng is right next door. Even if Sister He dares to play with you, do you have the guts, kid?" He Liping gently blinked those charming peach blossom eyes and asked Zhao Desan back in a sarcastic tone.

Zhao Desan was stimulated by He Liping, and immediately showed his fearless spirit. He pouted, raised his chest, and said to He Liping without showing weakness, "I, Comrade Xiao Zhao, am not scared, and... and what do I not dare to do!"

He Liping saw Zhao Desan's fearless appearance and suddenly felt that this guy was really cute, liking to act tough. He Liping grasped Zhao Desan's weakness of liking to be a hero, and deliberately stimulated him, saying, "Yo! Comrade Xiao Zhao, it seems your courage is really not small. Then okay, you come on, Sister He will play with you well." As she spoke, He Liping walked up, stretched out a jade hand to lift Zhao Desan's chin, and threw electricity at him with those charming peach blossom eyes.

Unable to withstand the provocation, this was Zhao Desan's biggest weakness. Being stimulated by He Liping with actual actions again, how could Zhao Desan, who had strong self-esteem, be willing to bow his head and admit defeat in front of He Liping? I saw his chest straighten, he reached out and grabbed He Liping's hand that was lifting his chin, and the other hand didn't mind at all and placed it on He Liping's fragrant shoulder, asking her seriously, "Really want to come?"

He Liping saw that Zhao Desan was actually quite concerned, so she rolled her eyes at him lightly, laughed thinly, and said in a breathless voice, "You, Comrade Xiao Zhao, aren't you fearless? Why? You don't want to be a man now?"
