The more he thought about it, the more he realized that his previous thoughts were too rash. He resolutely walked directly toward the District Committee.

Watching Zhao Desan leave the office with an anxious look, Tong Xiaoli understood that the phone call this guy received definitely didn't say anything good. As Zhao Desan's assistant, perhaps because they were both young, the age gap was not big, and there was no generation gap in thought, Tong Xiaoli had a good impression of this young and promising leader. She especially liked his dual personality of being meticulous in work and humorous and witty outside of work. In addition, this guy was also tall and handsome, which made the young and beautiful Tong Xiaoli have an increasingly unspeakable good impression of him. Thinking that if the above really wanted to arrange for Zhao Desan to go to the grassroots level, she really couldn't bear it in her heart. Not to mention that this departure would be half a year, and whether he could return to his current position was a question. After all, the interpersonal relationships in government units are too complex, and no one dares to make any guarantees easily. Thinking of these, Tong Xiaoli couldn't help but feel uneasy about Zhao Desan's stay or departure.

On the short road to the District Committee, Zhao Desan pondered over and over again how to open this mouth to District Mayor Wu. Just the day before, he had begged his grandfather and grandmother to let Wu Min let him go to the grassroots level. Just after one night, he suddenly changed his mind. If he explained his intention directly, District Mayor Wu would be so angry that she would flare up. This kind of thing can only be known to her slowly.

Just as he was about to walk to the District Committee, Zhao Desan suddenly changed his mind. He lifted his wrist to look, and seeing that there was still an hour before the District Committee got off work at noon, he turned and returned along the original path. After walking to the alley entrance where the rented house was located, he went in.

This time, his destination was the vegetable market. In ten minutes, he had purchased a large pile of various vegetables in the vegetable market, and also picked a three-jin-heavy sea bass at the aquatic market not far from the vegetable market. With both hands carrying two full large plastic bags of vegetables, he returned with a full load.

After returning to the rented house, he took off his coat, rolled up his sleeves, and plunged into the kitchen to start cooking without stopping. Half an hour later, a sumptuous meal had been cooked, and a full table of dishes was set on the small square table in the living room. Standing in front of the table and admiring his craftsmanship, the rich fragrance emitted by the seven or eight dishes with good color matching on the plates made even Zhao Desan himself feel a bit salivating. Since District Mayor Wu went abroad for inspection, he had been too lazy to go home to cook at noon, but just made do with it in the cafeteria. After District Mayor Wu returned to the country, he wanted to invite her to his rented house to cook several times, but because District Mayor Wu had many social engagements for a period of time after returning from abroad, he hadn't found any opportunity.

Today, Zhao Desan simply made a move first and reported later. This table of dishes with complete color, fragrance, and taste had already been set on the table. Then he called District Mayor Wu. He didn't believe she wouldn't come. After admiring his craftsmanship, fearing that the dishes would get cold, he took some plates from the kitchen and covered each dish to prevent the heat from leaking out.

Looking at this table of food, for Zhao Desan, everything was ready, only District Mayor Wu was missing. He picked up his mobile phone confidently and dialed District Mayor Wu.

Soon, the phone was connected: "Xiao Zhao, what's the matter?"

"Min Jie, are you free at noon today?" Zhao Desan called her 'Min Jie' intimately and asked straight to the point.

"Today... let me think." Wu Min thought about it carefully and said: "There is nothing going on at noon today for the time being. Why? Do you have something to find me?"

Heaven really opened its eyes! Learning that District Mayor Wu had no arrangements at noon, Zhao Desan breathed a sigh of relief, smiled happily, and said with a grin: "Min Jie, didn't you say that you have been eating outside for social engagements at noon recently and haven't eaten well? I cooked a table of dishes in the room at noon. Come and eat?"

After Zhao Desan said this, Wu Min thought that it had been more than a month since she last ate the home-cooked food Zhao Desan made. Suddenly, she really missed that taste. So she thought about it and said with a light smile: "Alright, then you come to pick me up or?"

"Min Jie, I'm sorry. I just came back. Can you come over yourself, okay?" Zhao Desan chuckled and said apologetically.

"Alright then, anyway, I've been there a few times and know the way." Wu Min didn't blame him much, "Do you want me to buy some vegetables or something when I go?"

"No, no, I've already bought them." Zhao Desan hurriedly said, and then grinned, adding a sentence: "Min Jie, you just come and eat."

"Then I'll go over immediately, we'll talk when we meet in a while." As she spoke, District Mayor Wu hung up the phone. She couldn't wait to eat the food Zhao Desan made again. After finishing the call, she left the District Committee in advance, followed the road in her memory, touched the alley and walked in, circled a large circle in the alley that turned seven times and eight times, and finally found the house Zhao Desan rented.

Hearing the knock on the door, Zhao Desan ran over excitedly to open the door. Sure enough, he saw District Mayor Wu standing at the door. He hurriedly invited her into the house enthusiastically.

As soon as she entered the house, District Mayor Wu's nose sniffed and sniffed, saying: "What's the smell, so fragrant?"

"What else could it be, of course it's the dishes." Zhao Desan smiled triumphantly, invited District Mayor Wu to the small dining table, pulled out a chair, pressed her fragrant shoulders to sit down, and then opened the plates covering the dishes confidently. A rich fragrance immediately filled the whole room.

"Wow! So sumptuous!" Seeing the seven or eight steaming, delicious dishes with complete color, fragrance, and taste on the small square table, District Mayor Wu couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

"Min Jie, dinner is served." Zhao Desan handed District Mayor Wu a pair of chopsticks triumphantly, then sat down opposite her, and the two began to eat this lunch Zhao Desan had ulterior motives for.
