Zhao Desan heard Su Qing agree, so he smiled and said: "Sister Su, don't worry, I definitely won't drink too much."

"I know your drinking capacity. You definitely won't drink too much, but drinking is very harmful to the body. It's better to drink as little as possible." Su Qing was an experienced person and knew the power of alcohol. When young, perhaps due to strong physical resistance, one wouldn't notice the harm of alcohol, but after getting older, these side effects would come out. Just take Su Qing herself, although she would often go to drink, her spleen and stomach functions had obviously degenerated, especially the liver, which had become what is commonly known as 'alcoholic liver', and she often had to take medicine.

"Sister Su, I know, I will try to drink as little as possible. You go home and sleep early, I will go back as soon as possible." Zhao Desan said.

"Mm, then you come back early tonight." Su Qing said gently.

Just at this moment, Zhao Desan heard someone knocking on the door. When he raised his head, he saw the door pushed open, and He Liping's figure appeared at the entrance. So he hurriedly said to the phone: "Then I'll hang up first, goodbye." Saying this, he immediately hung up the phone.

When he put down the receiver, He Liping walked into the office, looked at him with a strange gaze, and said: "You're quite busy, who are you calling?"

Zhao Desan chuckled and said: "A friend."

He Liping stared at him with a bewitching gaze and said: "Looking at you being sneaky, it must be a woman, right?"

Zhao Desan pretended to be calm and chuckled: "Sister He, look at you, can't I, Comrade Xiao Zhao, have a friend? It's just an ordinary friend, I just called to ask about something."

He Liping looked at him with bewitching eyes, a light, bewitching smile on the corner of her mouth, and said: "Alright, I'm too lazy to care who you call, as long as you don't do those things in front of me. Are you finished?"

"Finished, isn't this waiting for you, Sister He? Can we go?" Zhao Desan nodded and asked.

He Liping closed the office door, walked to the sofa and sat down unhurriedly, saying: "Don't be in a hurry, let's go after Old Zheng leaves."

Seeing He Liping still a bit afraid of Zheng Tulu, Zhao Desan deliberately ridiculed her: "Oh, so you are still very afraid of Director Zheng, Sister He."

Seeing Zhao Desan's light expression, He Liping glared at him with feigned anger and retorted: "I'm not afraid of him, I just think it's better for the two of us to avoid him."

So the two sat in Zhao Desan's office chatting, waiting for Zheng Tulu to leave the unit before leaving. During this period, He Liping made two phone calls, arranging for Hu Tao to book a private room in a restaurant, and asked Zheng Ru to go to that restaurant to meet there.

Listening to He Liping arranging for others to eat on the phone, Zhao Desan still didn't know who the people eating were, and was kept in the dark. After He Liping finished the call, he asked curiously: "Sister He, who is going tonight?"

"You'll know who is going when you get there." He Liping said pretentiously.

"Tch, still so mysterious." Zhao Desan said with disdain.

"It's about time, let's go." He Liping smiled wickedly and said.

Zhao Desan asked: "Did Director Zheng leave?"

He Liping said: "He should have left, it's been so long."

Zhao Desan said: "Then let's go." He was anxious to know who He Liping had invited to this dinner party tonight.

So the two got up and walked out of the office together. For the sake of safety, Zhao Desan walked out of the comprehensive building first and looked around the courtyard. Seeing that Zheng Tulu's car was gone, he knew he had left. Only then did he turn back and blink at He Liping. He Liping walked out with understanding, took him to her car, got in, and drove out of the Construction Committee gate.

On the way to the restaurant, Zhao Desan felt a bit strange about the dinner party He Liping arranged tonight. In his impression, He Liping had never taken the initiative to invite him to dinner, especially such a formal dinner party. Although he hadn't eaten with her, He Liping had invited him to the Fire Phoenix Dance Hall twice. Every time he went to the Fire Phoenix Dance Hall, something unexpected always happened. He thought whether He Liping had any special arrangements for this dinner party tonight. Thinking like this, he turned his head and asked tentatively: "Sister He, do you have any arrangements for this dinner party tonight?"

He Liping glanced at Zhao Desan sideways. Seeing his thirst for knowledge, she smiled mysteriously and said: "It seems you really want to know?"

Zhao Desan said seriously: "Of course, Sister He, you have never formally invited me to dinner like this before. I think you must have other meanings for arranging this dinner party today."

He Liping smiled noncommittally and said: "You'll know when you get there."

Zhao Desan said anxiously: "Sister He, can't you reveal a little bit to me, Comrade Xiao Zhao, now? At least let me have some mental preparation."

He Liping glanced at the anxious Zhao Desan sideways, smiled lightly and said: "There is absolutely no need for mental preparation. There are no big leaders tonight, the biggest leader is me."

"Then at least say who the others are." Zhao Desan winked and used his usual trick.

However, this trick didn't seem to be very effective. He Liping shook her head with a wicked smile, hiding the true purpose of this dinner party tonight without a trace, and then changed the subject: "Comrade Xiao Zhao, do you know if District Mayor Wu of the Chanba Development Zone came to our unit today?"

"I... I don't know." Zhao Desan answered while playing dumb.

He Liping looked at him and said: "District Mayor Wu came to find Old Zheng to talk about things today."

Zhao Desan asked suspiciously: "District Mayor Wu came to our unit to find Zheng Tulu to talk about things? What did they talk about?" After finishing, Zhao Desan realized that he shouldn't call the old fox by his nickname in front of He Liping, so he sensibly turned his head and didn't dare to look at He Liping.

Because under Zhao Desan's lead, people in the unit were habitually calling Zheng Liangyu 'Zheng Tulu' in private, and He Liping had heard it more than once, so she was accustomed to the nickname. She said: "What else could they talk about? They talked about your transfer."

Actually, Zhao Desan knew all this clearly, but he still said dumbly: "Talked about my matter? Then would Zheng Tulu disagree?"

He Liping smiled slightly and said: "Zheng Tulu won't disagree." As soon as the words left her mouth, He Liping realized that she had also started calling Zheng Liangyu by his nickname under Zhao Desan's influence. After saying this sentence, she was also amused by her own behavior, smiled, and then continued: "Look at you, I've also followed you and started calling him Zheng Tulu."

Zhao Desan chuckled, then grabbed the theme and asked: "Sister He, then what did Zheng Tulu and District Mayor Wu say?"

Seeing Zhao Desan's anxious appearance, He Liping raised her eyebrows and asked him: "It looks like you really want to go to the district to work?"

Anyway, he had already discussed this matter with He Liping, so Zhao Desan nodded without hiding it, chuckled and said: "After all, it's a once-in-a-lifetime good opportunity."

He Liping rolled her eyes at him with disdain and said: "District Mayor Wu seems to value you very much. This time even Secretary Jin came forward. You say, can Old Zheng still disagree? You are fine, but don't forget what you promised me."

"Definitely, definitely, what kind of person am I, Comrade Xiao Zhao, don't you know, Sister He? I am absolutely a person of my word. When there is a suitable opportunity, I will definitely assist you, Sister He, to complete your dream." Zhao Desan said with a wicked smile.

He Liping understood that she held the truth about the relationship between Zhao Desan and Su Qing in her hands. This guy knew which was lighter and which was heavier. Regarding this matter, he would absolutely not treat it as a joke. Anyway, this opportunity was indeed a good opportunity for him to be promoted. Perhaps after he was promoted, he would be more confident to help her achieve her goal.

The two discussed Zhao Desan going to the district on the way, and unknowingly, the car stopped at the entrance of a very famous Sichuan restaurant. This was a Sichuan restaurant with a great reputation in Xijing City, a three-story building, decorated magnificently, and even the outside of the whole building was decorated very flashily. As dusk fell, the lights on the building were turned on one after another, and the whole building was like a crystal blooming with brilliant light, flashing with colorful lights in the night, looking very magnificent.

After parking the car, Zhao Desan followed behind He Liping's butt and walked into this prestigious Sichuan restaurant with a puzzled mood. Entering the main entrance, He Liping negotiated with the lobby manager, telling him that the private room had already been booked. Under the enthusiastic guidance of the lobby manager, Zhao Desan followed He Liping to the private room area on the second floor. Arriving at the entrance of a private room, the lobby manager pushed open the private room door and invited He Liping and Zhao Desan to go in. ===== CHAPTER 2187 =====
