Chapter 2494

Seeing that District Mayor Wu finally agreed to keep him, Zhao Desan was a bit ecstatic for a while. The strength of his hand pushing District Mayor Wu's leg increased unconsciously. While hammering her leg, he said with a grin: "Min Jie, you are really too good. In the future, I, Comrade Xiao Zhao, will definitely fully cooperate with your work. As long as you have any instructions, Min Jie, I, Comrade Xiao Zhao, will definitely go through fire and water and not hesitate."

"Alright, alright, no need to show loyalty to me." Wu Min gave him a look, suddenly furrowed her beautiful brows, and cried out in pain: "Ouch... be lighter!"

Zhao Desan then realized that he was too excited and hit District Mayor Wu's leg, so he hurriedly stopped the action and accompanied with an embarrassed apology: "Min Jie, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, I'm sorry..."

Seeing Zhao Desan's subservient look, District Mayor Wu gave him a look, suddenly lifted her wrist to look at her watch, and seeing that it was almost time for work, she pushed Zhao Desan's hand away, stood up and said: "Alright, it's almost time for work, I have to go." As she spoke, she walked toward the door.

"Min Jie, wait a moment, I also have to go to work, let's go together?" Zhao Desan was stunned for a moment, then followed two steps behind her and said.

"Go away, how can we go together? If we go out from the alley together and are seen by people in the unit, there will be gossip." District Mayor Wu stopped, turned her head and glared at him, saying: "I'll go first, you go later."

Zhao Desan then suddenly realized and nodded, then sent District Mayor Wu out of the rented house respectfully, and said politely: "Min Jie, then go slowly."

Wu Min then turned her head to look at him with an ambiguous look, a satisfied smile flashed across the corner of her mouth, and then turned and walked down the stairs.

Seeing Wu Min walk down, Zhao Desan suddenly thought of the matter he requested just now, and reminded her again: "Min Jie, don't forget my matter."

Hearing Zhao Desan's shout, District Mayor Wu tilted her head and nodded at him, and then disappeared at the stairwell of the rented house.

Sending District Mayor Wu away, Zhao Desan completely pinned his future and destiny on her. This time, whether he could be exempted from going to the grassroots level was a matter of his official career. At this time, he truly realized the seriousness of the matter. He absolutely could not jump into the trap set by Zheng the Bald Donkey. Returning to the room, Zhao Desan sat on the sofa and lit a cigarette, pondering for a long time. Until a while after work, Deputy Director of the District Construction Commission Gao Haiping came to Zhao Desan to talk about things, and Tong Xiaoli called Zhao Desan.

"Hello, Xiao Li, what's the matter?" Receiving the call from Tong Xiaoli, Zhao Desan asked puzzledly.

"Director Liu, where did you go during work hours again?" Tong Xiaoli asked in a flippant tone on the phone.

"Why? Do I have to report to you wherever I go?" Zhao Desan asked back with the air of a leader.

Hearing Zhao Desan was a bit unhappy, Tong Xiaoli snorted and said: "I'm too lazy to care where you go. It's Deputy Director Gao who is looking for you. I'm calling to tell you!"

"Director Gao is looking for me? What's the matter?" Zhao Desan was a bit puzzled. Gao Haiping usually didn't interact with him, staying in his office all day without going out, as if there was no such deputy director in the unit. Why did he suddenly look for him?

"How would I know." Tong Xiaoli answered unhappily, and then said: "Alright, I'm busy, goodbye." After speaking, she hung up the phone.

Damn it! This girl is getting more and more out of line! The phone was hung up by Tong Xiaoli in a very unfriendly way. Zhao Desan thought so in his heart, then stood up, picked up his coat, and walked out of the rented house.

Coming out of the rented house, Zhao Desan returned to the unit directly. After sitting down in the office, he ordered Tong Xiaoli to call Gao Haiping. Tong Xiaoli gave Zhao Desan a look, as if he was using her as a servant, but still obediently stood up to summon Gao Haiping.

In the interval while Tong Xiaoli went to summon Gao Haiping, Zhao Desan prepared to wash the tea cup to brew tea. When he opened the cup lid, he found that the cup had already been washed clean. Needless to say, this must have been done by Tong Xiaoli. In his heart, he couldn't help but add a trace of good impression to this beautiful assistant who had a proud bloodline in her bones. Although this girl's temper was quite bad and she didn't treat him as a leader at all, she was quite diligent and satisfying in doing things. He smiled to himself, carried the tea cup to the cabinet, took out the high-end jasmine tea for hospitality from the cabinet, brewed a cup of strong tea for himself, and in a short while, the whole office, which was not big, was filled with the fragrant breath of jasmine tea. Returning to the office desk and sitting down, he sipped the strong tea blissfully, refreshed his spirit, lit a cigarette, and waited for Gao Haiping to come over.

At this time, Tong Xiaoli had already arrived at Gao Haiping's deputy director office. Because Gao Haiping's office was the last one in the corridor and the room was too small, it was not like Zhao Desan's office, where there was an assistant's desk. Arriving at the office door, Tong Xiaoli saw the office door open with a thin crack, but still knocked twice politely before pushing the door open.

The moment she pushed the door open, she suddenly saw Deputy Director Gao Haiping immediately put his hands behind his back, looking at the door in a panic. Seeing Gao Haiping's strange behavior, Tong Xiaoli's brows were also stunned for a moment.

Seeing that it was Tong Xiaoli standing at the door, Gao Haiping's panicked look on his face eased a little. He pretended to be as if nothing had happened and chuckled, asking Tong Xiaoli: "Xiao Li, what's the matter?"

"Oh, Director Liu is back, let you go over." Tong Xiaoli then came back to her senses and explained her intention.

Gao Haiping hurriedly nodded and said: "Alright, you go back first, I'll be there soon." He just wanted to send Tong Xiaoli away quickly. Now for him, the thing hidden in his hand behind his back was like a hot potato, making him feel very uneasy in his heart.

"Alright." Tong Xiaoli nodded, and when she turned around, she glanced at the terrified Gao Haiping with a strange look again, then pulled the door and left.

It turned out that the thing Gao Haiping hid behind his back was nothing else, but a bundle of bright 'Mao Zedong'. As soon as Tong Xiaoli left, he hurriedly pulled open the drawer with lightning speed and stuffed the bundle of 'Mao Zedong' in his hand into it, immediately walked up to lock the office door from the inside, and then returned to the office desk quickly, took the briefcase he carried to work from under the table, then opened the drawer again, took out the bundle of 'Mao Zedong', counted it carefully, a total of ten bundles, then put it into the briefcase, pulled the zipper, and put it back in place. Only then did he calm down the nervous and uneasy mood he had just been frightened by Tong Xiaoli's sudden breaking in, walked out of the office, and walked toward Zhao Desan's director office.

At this time, Tong Xiaoli had just returned to the office. Seeing her return alone, Zhao Desan slightly raised his brows and asked puzzledly: "Where is Director Gao?"

"He'll be here soon." Although Tong Xiaoli felt that Gao Haiping's strange reaction just now was a bit wrong, she had only been working in the unit for a year and didn't want to care too much about these leaders' affairs. For her, her main work now was to assist Zhao Desan, this young leader who had no generation gap. Perhaps because she was with Zhao Desan, both were young, and although it was a superior-subordinate relationship, it was not like the feeling other leaders in the unit gave her, always feeling that there was an insurmountable chasm. It was different with Zhao Desan. Although he was the director, he didn't have the air of a leader acting like a tyrant. On the contrary, that humorous and witty personality made her feel very easy to get along with. Only in work, she understood that Zhao Desan was dutiful and sought perfection in everything, so she fully obeyed and cooperated with Zhao Desan in serious work problems. In her spare time, she no longer treated Zhao Desan as a superior leader.

Zhao Desan nodded, then while smoking, waited for Gao Haiping to come over.

Of course, Gao Haiping naturally didn't dare to neglect Zhao Desan's request too much. For this number one person who had only been here for two months, Gao Haiping knew that he was the person District Mayor Wu asked for from the province, so he followed Zhao Desan everywhere. Including the series of measures on work formulated by him in these two months in the unit, Gao Haiping also fully supported them. As a deputy director, since Zhao Desan came to the unit, Gao Haiping began to stay in the office all day without going out, not caring about anything, eating the iron rice bowl, usually reading newspapers and drinking tea, feeling quite leisurely. Only when he learned that the whole provincial system was going to organize a grassroots activity for young party and government organ cadres, especially after learning from other channels that the number one person in the provincial construction commission system, Zheng Liangyu, had a secret contradiction with Zhao Desan, and that Zheng Liangyu specifically named Zhao Desan to be arranged to go to the grassroots level for training, he suddenly felt that this time Zhao Desan being sent to the grassroots level for training was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him to be promoted. Knowing that this kind of opportunity is fiercely competitive, he must take the lead and want to take action in advance to go to the Provincial Committee to find Zheng Liangyu to pull relationships.

A few minutes later, Gao Haiping knocked on the door and walked into Zhao Desan's director office, saying with a full face of smiles: "Old Liu, are you looking for me?"

Damn! Am I old? Hearing Gao Haiping actually call him 'Old Liu', Zhao Desan felt extremely unwilling to hear it in his heart. However, he knew that this old fox was calling him this way entirely to get close, so he chuckled and asked: "I heard Xiao Li say that you came to find me just now, Director Gao?"

Gao Haiping nodded with a grin and said: "Yes, yes, Old Liu, you weren't there just now."

Zhao Desan asked straight to the point: "Is there anything Director Gao is looking for me for?"

Gao Haiping chuckled and said: "Nothing much."

Seeing Gao Haiping's somewhat unnatural expression, Zhao Desan asked coldly: "Then is there something or nothing?"
