Chapter 2309

Zhao Desan feigned being lost in thought and said, "Then Bureau Chief Sun, if it's convenient for you, why don't you come to the coffee shop not far from our unit, and we'll meet and talk."

"That's fine, Section Chief Liu, I'll drive over right now. Let's meet and talk in a while." The old fox Bureau Chief Sun, in order to appease Zhao Desan's mood, even changed his address to "Section Chief Liu" without realizing it.

The old fox's reaction was completely within Zhao Desan's expectations. The old guy's reaction was so intense that it made Zhao Desan even more convinced that he could handle him and make him more inclined toward Ma Lan regarding the ownership of that plot of land in the development zone. "Alright then, Bureau Chief Sun, see you in a while." Zhao Desan said with a gentle smile.

Hanging up the phone, he quickened his pace and walked toward the coffee shop across the street. In the autumn season, the noon sun felt warm on his face. The yellow leaves on the ginkgo trees by the street were dancing leisurely in the weak autumn breeze. The city in this season presented a kind of peaceful and quiet beauty.

Crossing the road, Zhao Desan walked quickly toward the coffee shop.

As soon as he walked into the coffee shop, Xu Min stood by the window and waved at him: "Comrade Comrade Xiao Zhao, over here."

Zhao Desan looked in the direction of the sound, and after seeing Xu Min, he walked straight over.

"How is today's matter arranged?" As soon as Zhao Desan walked over, Xu Min asked impatiently.

The emperor is not anxious, but the eunuch is! Seeing Xu Min's impatient appearance, Zhao Desan said to himself. He pulled out a chair and sat down, and while smiling, he asked Xu Min unhurriedly, "Brother Xu, are you ready?"

Xu Min said, "Haven't you already told me everything!"

Zhao Desan was not in a hurry. He calculated that it would take at least half an hour for the old fox Bureau Chief Sun to drive here from the Municipal Land and Resources Bureau, catching the noon rush hour. He laughed "Hehe" at Xu Min, turned around, snapped his fingers, called the waiter to order a cup of freshly ground coffee, took out a pack of good cigarettes he had stuffed into his pocket when he came out, gave one to Xu Min, lit one for himself, took a puff, leaned his face over to Xu Min, and said, "Brother Xu, I just made an appointment with Bureau Chief Sun, and he will be here in a while. Whether I can get things done at noon today depends entirely on your cooperation, Brother Xu."

Xu Min had been in the police force for eight or nine years after all. He had seen everything from murder and arson, robbery and rape, to looting and plundering. He was indifferent to Zhao Desan's serious appearance and said, "Comrade Comrade Xiao Zhao, don't worry. Since I, your brother, promised to help you with this favor, I will definitely cooperate with you well today. Tell me, what does your brother need to do at noon today?"

The waiter brought the coffee. Zhao Desan picked it up, took a small sip, smacked his lips, blew a smoke ring, and instructed Xu Min: "Brother Xu, before that old fox Bureau Chief Sun comes in a while, you should avoid him first. Listen to my arrangements then. If I need you to go out in person, Brother Xu, then you come out. Of course, it would be even better if you, Brother Xu, could handle Bureau Chief Sun without showing your face."

Xu Min thought of the words Zhao Desan said at that Sichuan restaurant last time: "As long as the matter is done, there will be no shortage of benefits for Brother Xu." Because the job of Xu Min's little lover, Du Xiaochan, was secured by Zhao Desan, firstly, he owed Zhao Desan this favor, and in front of Du Xiaochan, he had boasted that he would go through fire and water for Zhao Desan. Secondly, for the sake of the benefits after the matter was done, Xu Min was determined to help Zhao Desan. Hearing Zhao Desan say this, he patted his chest and said righteously, "Brother Liu, I, Xu Min, have always been a man of my word. Since I promised to help you with this favor, I will definitely help to the end. Today, I will just listen to your arrangements."

Xu Min was the kind of person who would puff up if you praised him. Seeing the righteous spirit he displayed at this moment, Zhao Desan gave him a thumbs up and flattered him again: "Brother Xu, you are indeed a loyal brother. I really didn't misjudge you. Then I'll thank you first for today's matter."

Xu Min was so praised that he was about to fly into the sky. He became even more light-headed, threw his head back, puffed out his chest, and gilded his own face: "Brother Liu, the two of us brothers can be considered to have a fate. You judged me correctly. You are loyal enough, brother, and I, your brother, will definitely not be ambiguous!"

"Haha..." Zhao Desan laughed out loud, a bit carried away. Firstly, he laughed that Xu Min was dizzy from his own fooling, and secondly, he laughed that dealing with the old fox Bureau Chief Sun today should be a sure thing.

"Haha..." Seeing Zhao Desan laughing out loud, Xu Min also laughed along, his eyebrows dancing with joy, and his body filled with righteous blood.

"Come, Brother Xu, let's brothers use coffee instead of wine and clink glasses!" Zhao Desan laughed for a while, picked up his coffee cup, and held it toward Xu Min.

"Come, brother, cheers!" Xu Min also smiled and picked up his cup to meet him.

The two clinked glasses gently, each took a small sip of coffee, and after putting down the cups, Zhao Desan had a reflective smile on his face and said to Xu Min, "Brother Xu, to be honest, I, little Zhao, have been working at the Provincial Construction Commission for two years. Do you know what my biggest gain is?"

"Does it have anything to do with women?" Xu Min guessed with a mischievous smile, "I know there are a few women with extraordinary beauty in your unit, but they seem to be young married women, not easy to get started with."

Hearing these words from Xu Min, Zhao Desan laughed out loud, pointed at Xu Min, and said, "Brother Xu, you are so clear about the women in our unit. Did you take a fancy to any of them? If you took a fancy to any of them, tell your brother, and I'll play matchmaker for you."

Xu Min immediately shook his head like a rattle and denied it: "No, no, I was just talking casually. Besides, your brother is not short of women now."
