Chapter 2489

"What's the matter?" Seeing her urgent look, Zhao Desan asked puzzledly.

Tong Xiaoli ran to Zhao Desan, out of breath, and while panting, said intermittently: "Director Zheng of the Provincial Construction Commission is calling to find you."

This old thing is looking for me? Hearing Tong Xiaoli say this, Zhao Desan was stunned for a moment. He froze, and without saying a word, he hurriedly turned back and walked toward the office.

Walking hurriedly back to the office, seeing the landline receiver still on the table, he hurriedly walked up with a belly full of doubts, grabbed the receiver and put it to his ear, immediately as if he had become a different person, accompanying with a smile and saying respectfully: "Hello! Is this Director Zheng?"

"Mm, Xiao Zhao." Zheng the Bald Donkey responded when he saw that the person answering the phone had changed to Zhao Desan.

"Director Zheng, are you looking for me for something?" Zhao Desan asked with a respectful smile.

Returning to the office, Tong Xiaoli saw Zhao Desan suddenly seem like a different person, talking on the phone to Zheng the Bald Donkey as if he were a eunuch in ancient times. That expression and the slightly bowing posture were really quite matching with his name. Thinking again about the serious and strong attitude he had toward people in the unit in the first week before he took office as the Director of the District Construction Commission, Tong Xiaoli sighed in her heart that it is really not easy to mix a position in a government unit!

Zheng the Bald Donkey said unceremoniously: "Of course I have something to do when I look for you. Do you think I have nothing to do and look for you to chat?"

Hearing this cold answer from Zheng the Bald Donkey, Zhao Desan smiled extremely awkwardly, put on an attitude of listening attentively, and said respectfully: "Then Director, if you have something to do, just instruct me."

Zheng the Bald Donkey was also straightforward. He coughed twice, cleared his throat, and said: "Alright, Xiao Zhao, I won't beat around the bush with you. It's like this. Yesterday, didn't we summon the directors of the districts and the main leaders of the Municipal Construction Commission to the Provincial Construction Commission to hold a meeting within the provincial construction commission system? Regarding the matter of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government calling for the organization of young party and government cadres to go to the grassroots level, the list of going to the grassroots level hasn't been finalized yet. But the leaders all support the suggestions put forward by Secretary Zhang yesterday. They feel that for this grassroots activity, it is necessary to let young comrades who are young and promising like you take the lead in participating. After all, for young people like you who are both young and have achieved some results in the system, you have your own advantages, accept new things quickly, and can keep up with the development of the times. But the only shortcoming is that you lack the experience of working at the grassroots level and lack the training in a relatively bitter environment. Xiao Zhao, don't you think so?"

"Yes, yes, Director Zheng, what you said is correct." Zhao Desan nodded respectfully and could only agree with these cunning words of this old fox.

Zheng the Bald Donkey chuckled and said: "In order to respond to the call of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government and implement this matter quickly, the Provincial Construction Commission organized the members of the leadership team to hold a short meeting this morning to negotiate together and draft a list of young comrades to go to the grassroots level. Several leaders of the team in the whole Xijing system feel that letting you lead the team and leading several young party member cadres to go to the grassroots level to train well..."

Damn it! This bastard really doesn't intend to let me go. Hearing the sanctimonious words of this old bastard, Zhao Desan cursed him fiercely in his heart, but on the surface, he still had that slave-like look. He couldn't help but interject and ask: "Director Zheng, are you planning... planning to send me to which area?"

"Oh, to a county about 500 kilometers away from Xijing." Zheng the Bald Donkey answered in a gentle tone.

Mom! 500 kilometers away, what a remote place that must be! Zhao Desan couldn't imagine what a place 500 kilometers away from Xijing would look like. Since it is grassroots training, it is conceivable that the environment definitely wouldn't be good. He secretly took a cold breath, then smiled unnaturally, and tested: "Director, look, can you not send me down this time?"

"Why?" Zheng the Bald Donkey asked puzzledly, "Are you afraid of the harsh environment and can't stand it?"

"No." Zhao Desan hurriedly denied Zheng the Bald Donkey's statement and followed up with an explanation: "Director, look, didn't I just get sent to the district two months ago? I just got familiar with the work in the district. If I am transferred away just like this, wouldn't the previous work be ineffective?"

Hearing the excuse Zhao Desan found, Zheng the Bald Donkey chuckled and said: "Xiao Zhao, you don't have to worry about this. The unit will arrange the work in the district. Someone will be drawn from above to be responsible for it temporarily. Your position will be kept for you. When you finish training and come back, you will still be responsible." This old fox knew that Zhao Desan was afraid of being suppressed by him and deliberately found an excuse to avoid going to the grassroots level, so he poured him a love potion in advance.

Seeing through his thoughts by the old thing, Zhao Desan didn't know what excuse to find to stay for a while. For a while, he could only smile awkwardly and nod in agreement.

Seeing that Zhao Desan couldn't find an excuse to decline this 'heavy responsibility', Zheng the Bald Donkey smiled faintly and said: "Alright then, this matter is settled. Arrange the work on your hands and wait for specific arrangements." As he spoke, the old fox no longer gave Zhao Desan room to maneuver and hung up the phone directly.

Hearing the phone being hung up by that old thing, Zhao Desan also suddenly put the receiver on the landline forcefully with anger. With a very serious sense of crisis, he hurriedly walked out of the office. He couldn't care about so much anymore. Originally, he intended to jump into Zheng the Bald Donkey's trap actively, but today, as soon as he received this old guy's call, Zhao Desan suddenly realized that he absolutely could not admit defeat in this secret struggle. Even if he actively jumped into that trap and bowed down, that old fox might not forgive him. He began to wake up, realizing that he absolutely could not be bewitched by that old bastard and go to the grassroots level. Going to the grassroots level meant that all previous efforts would be wasted. Thinking of the sweat and effort he had put into climbing up these years, and the sour, sweet, bitter, and spicy things he had tasted, he completely understood that he absolutely could not fall into that old fox's trap. He only had one belief in his heart now: fight that old bastard to the end! Absolutely cannot admit defeat like this! Who will win, he doesn't know yet! Besides, the thing he promised He Liping hasn't been done yet. He is not a man who doesn't keep his word.
