Chapter 239: Shopping with the Bureau Chief

"You were shopping with the Bureau Chief?" Before he could finish speaking, Li Shanshan raised her eyebrows and stared at him, her expression very surprised, even stunned.

"The Bureau Chief's driver asked for leave that day, she wanted to buy clothes, so she just let me drive for her." Zhao Desan narrated the events of that day, his expression very natural, not nervous at all.

The expressions of Li Shanshan and her parents relaxed.

"Oh..." her mother nodded, a faint smile appearing on her face, and greeted: "Comrade Xiao Zhao, eat the vegetables, eat the vegetables."

Zhao Desan observed her expression and smiled, chatting with them about family matters.

His humorous and witty personality was good at dealing with various occasions. This kind of pediatric scene was simply nothing to him. His outstanding performance made Li Shanshan's parents like him even more from the bottom of their hearts, and they were hinting at their good feelings for him in their words.

"Comrade Xiao Zhao, can you drink?" Li Shanshan's father was in high spirits, wanting to have a few drinks with this future son-in-law in their eyes.

"A little bit." Zhao Desan was even humble.

Li Shanshan glanced at him and said: "Fart! Still pretending to be a good child in front of my parents? The leaders of the Bureau have already experienced your drinking capacity during the New Year's dinner."

"I have to accompany the leaders, I have to hold on even if I can't drink."

"My dad used to be a leader too, but he wasn't in the Coal Bureau." Li Shanshan pouted.

Her father chuckled: "Your dad retired long ago."

"Where did Uncle work before?"

"A small person, not worth mentioning." Li Shanshan's father laughed brightly, making Li Shanshan say: "Go get that bottle of Wuliangye, I want to have a few drinks with Comrade Xiao Zhao."

Li Shanshan happily went to the wine cabinet in the living room to get that bottle of premium Wuliangye, unscrewed the cap, poured two glasses, gave one to her dad, and one to Zhao Desan.

"Come, Comrade Xiao Zhao, let's have a drink." Li Shanshan's father raised his glass to invite him.

Zhao Desan hurriedly raised his glass with both hands, the rim of the glass lower than his, touched it, and drank it in one gulp.

Li Shanshan's father smacked his lips and said: "Working in a government unit, drinking is also a branch of learning. Just being able to drink is not enough, the rules at the wine table must also be understood. Being able to drink and knowing how to drink is also a specialty of working in a government unit."

"Yes, yes."

Zhao Desan was still very proficient in the ways of drinking. Zhang Ju had also told him about Li Shanshan's father's words once. It seemed that people who had come over had the same experience and had the same view on drinking.

"Where did Uncle work as a leader before?" He was very concerned about this question, saying how Li Shanshan could always sit firmly in the position of the first secretary of the Coal Bureau without being shaken. It turned out that she also had some background. In today's society, officials protect each other, and even units that have nothing to do with each other have thousands of threads of connection. The human network in this society is truly too complex. It seems he still has to be more careful in the future and act step by step.

"Working in the District Government, a small section chief, no status, worked until retirement, heh heh."

"That's not bad."

"Officialdom is not easy to mix in, young man, be careful in everything, the water is very deep, do your own job well, and keep an eye on everything." ===== CHAPTER 240 =====
