Chapter 2250

Xu Min nodded and said, "That's simple. Brother, just notify me when you've arranged it."

Zhao Desan nodded, filled two more glasses with wine, and said heroically, "Brother Xu, come, let's drink."

"Come, brother." Xu Min didn't back down at all, raised his glass, and met him.

Zhao Desan clinked the glasses and said, "Cheers!"

So, another glass of wine was poured into their stomachs.

The two ate and drank, and the bottle of wine was soon bottomed out. Zhao Desan wanted to drink more, but Xu Min already felt a bit dizzy, his face red, and he waved his hand, saying, "Brother, no more, no more. I have things to do in the afternoon, don't delay."

Zhao Desan pulled Xu Min's arm, moved closer to him, narrowed the distance between them, and said with his arm around his shoulder, "Brother Xu, it's hard for us brothers to drink together, let's drink some more?"

"We soldiers, what's different..." At this moment, Xu Min's phone rang at his waist.

Xu Min took out his phone from the holster at his waist. Seeing it was the station's landline, he puffed out his chest with a red face and answered the phone, saying loudly, "Hello! Oh... Xiao Li, what... someone came to report a case? That's good, I'll be back immediately. You record it first. Mm, okay."

Hearing the content of Xu Min's call, Zhao Desan knew this meal would end here.

Sure enough, Xu Min hung up the phone, patted Zhao Desan's shoulder, and said, "Brother, look, brother has something to do and can't accompany you to drink anymore."

Zhao Desan asked deliberately, "What's wrong? Brother Xu has something to do again?"

Xu Min nodded with a red face and said, "Yes, Xiao Li called and said someone came to report a case. There's no one at the station, so I have to go back immediately."

Although Zhao Desan had a high tolerance for alcohol, it didn't mean he necessarily liked drinking. Living this kind of life of wine and meat every day, he was actually quite tired of it. Just now, he was shouting to drink more with Xu Min, but that was just talk at the table; in his heart, he didn't really want to drink. So, he said with some regret, "Since you have important matters, brother, I can't delay your work, so I won't keep you." Saying this, Zhao Desan patted Xu Min's back, expressing some regret.

Xu Min said to Zhao Desan while getting up, "Brother, let's drink again next time. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

Zhao Desan stood up and nodded, saying, "That's true. Brother will wait to drink with you again next time. Next time, we won't stop until we're drunk."

Xu Min's face flushed when he drank, and he was already full of red. He chuckled and said, "Good, next time we must drink until we're drunk." Saying this, he patted Zhao Desan's shoulder a few more times and said, "Brother, brother is leaving first. Call me when you've arranged that matter."

Zhao Desan supported Xu Min as he walked two steps out and said, "That's fine, Brother Xu, just wait for my call."

Xu Min declined, "Alright, brother, don't see me off. You eat some more dishes yourself, I'm going back to the station."

Zhao Desan exchanged a few polite words with Xu Min. After seeing him off, he sat down alone, ordered a bowl of rice, ate it with the dishes he hadn't touched much, poured the little bit of wine left at the bottom of the bottle into his glass, lit another cigarette, and while exhaling smoke, narrowed his eyes and frowned, thinking about how to handle the next step.

Since Xu Min, a key figure in the plan, had agreed to come forward, the next steps would be easy to handle: find an opportunity to call Director Sun and ask him to come out and talk. At this step, Zhao Desan was actually still a bit worried. After all, that old guy was the Director of the Xijing Municipal Land and Resources Bureau. If he could reach that position, how could he not have some ability? This was an old hand, an old fox, and he had to be careful. Moreover, at this moment, Zhao Desan suddenly considered a very important but most easily overlooked point: when he stepped forward to solve this matter, he must not implicate Ma Lan. If he appeared in front of Director Sun as Ma Lan's person, then her real estate company would not only need to fight for this plot of land but would also need to acquire land for subsequent development. If the grudge with this old guy was too deep, it would affect the company's future development. After considering this important point, Zhao Desan suddenly felt troubled. Since he couldn't let that old fox surnamed Sun have a conflict with Ma Lan, what role and stance should he use to negotiate with this old fox?

This question made Zhao Desan feel at a loss for a moment. Sitting in the small restaurant, he smoked fiercely while picking up the only glass of wine, sipped a little, smacked his lips, tasted the mellow wine, and racked his brains thinking about how to solve this headache-inducing problem.
