Tong Xiaoli said to him with a look of worry: "Director Liu, but I can tell you, to be honest, it's not easy for you to sit in this leadership position at such a young age. You know how fierce the competition for this director position is. Once you are sent to the grassroots level for half a year, I'm afraid it will be very difficult to come back. Maybe as soon as you leave, the next director will take office."

Tong Xiaoli's words were by no means alarmist, and this was just the surface phenomenon she understood. She didn't know the fact that Zheng the Bald Donkey and himself had a grudge. Zhao Desan understood that once he went to the grassroots level, Zheng the Bald Donkey would definitely use this opportunity to nail him firmly to the grassroots position, and he would insert his own people into the District Construction Commission. This is the consistent rule in officialdom.

Zhao Desan furrowed his brows, narrowed his eyes, and puffed on his cigarette one puff after another, looking extremely heavy-hearted. Originally, he thought that only by taking advantage of this opportunity to take the initiative to propose going to the grassroots level could he reduce the hatred of that old fox Zheng the Bald Donkey toward him. Secondly, he could avoid the burden of Chen Man. Not only did he make up his mind, but he also took action, finding District Mayor Wu to express his thoughts. But from last night until now, after listening to the thoughts of several people, Zhao Desan began to retreat. The idea of going to the grassroots level began to waver, especially after hearing those words from Tong Xiaoli just now, this idea wavered from the foundation. But he had already talked to District Mayor Wu about this yesterday, and now he was going back on his word temporarily. How could he have the face to talk to District Mayor Wu again? This kind of thing is not playing house, always changing, and no one is happy!

Seeing Zhao Desan's helpless look, Tong Xiaoli knew he must be tangled about the grassroots level thing. She took the initiative to walk up, leaned on Zhao Desan's office desk, and began to devise strategies for him. She asked Zhao Desan: "Are you thinking about how to avoid being sent to the grassroots level?"

Hearing Tong Xiaoli's words, Zhao Desan lifted his face to look at her. Seeing that she was waiting for his answer, looking confident, as if she had some way to make him not worry about this, he asked: "Do you have a way to make me not be sent down?"

"I definitely don't have a 100% way." Tong Xiaoli said while thinking, "But I can give you some suggestions, maybe it will be helpful to you."

"Oh? Tell me about it." Zhao Desan looked at her with great interest and said.

Tong Xiaoli moved her body away from Zhao Desan's office desk, and while walking, said: "I think if you want to keep your current position, you should go to the leaders of the Provincial Construction Commission, bring some things, run some errands, and pull some relationships. It should be useful."

Zhao Desan smiled at this suggestion from Tong Xiaoli, thinking, you don't know the relationship between me and that old fox at all.

Seeing Zhao Desan smile dismissively, Tong Xiaoli asked puzzledly: "Did I say something wrong?"

"No, you said it very correctly." Zhao Desan chuckled.

"That's it then. I think you need to hurry up and handle this matter, otherwise, once the list is finalized and the notice comes down, it will be too late for you to go." Tong Xiaoli suggested out of good intentions.

Zhao Desan nodded, but in his heart, he didn't truly agree with her suggestion. In his view, to stay here, he had to rely on District Mayor Wu. After all, it was she who spent a lot of effort to dig him out from under Zheng the Bald Donkey. In these two months, he had completely turned around the work situation of the District Construction Commission, just showing a prosperous posture. If he left, wouldn't it be a group of dragons without a leader, returning to the past? District Mayor Wu would not want to see that foul situation appear again. If he went to beg her to come forward to protect him and stay, it shouldn't be a difficult thing. After pondering for a long time, Zhao Desan decided to thicken his face and go find District Mayor Wu again.

Therefore, Zhao Desan stood up and said to Tong Xiaoli: "Xiao Li, I'm going to the District Committee. You handle anything that comes up first."

Tong Xiaoli guessed that Zhao Desan must be going to the district to seek help from District Mayor Wu. After all, the fact that he was transferred to the district by District Mayor Wu was almost known to everyone in the unit. Therefore, she smiled ghost-like, nodded, and said: "Go."

Zhao Desan took his coat off the back of the chair, put it on, and walked out of the office eagerly.

Just as he walked out of the office door, he suddenly heard the office landline ring. He froze for a moment, thinking Tong Xiaoli was there, so he took another step and left.

"Director Liu, Director Liu..." Just after walking out of the office building, Tong Xiaoli's urgent shouting came from behind Zhao Desan.

Hearing Tong Xiaoli calling him, Zhao Desan stopped his steps. Turning his head, he saw Tong Xiaoli running toward him in a hurry.
