Chapter 2578

Sun Changsheng nodded with a fawning smile and said, "Yes, yes. You know this, Director Liu. I will find a way to help you, but I also cannot offend others. I have to handle these relationships one by one, don't you think? It's good for me, and it's also good for you, isn't it?" He was truly an old hand; following Zhao Desan's guess, he came up with so many excuses.

However, Zhao Desan felt that what this old fox said was also true. It wouldn't be difficult to help Ma Lan get that piece of land, but the key was that this old fox definitely wouldn't risk offending Lin Lin Dafa and others to handle this matter. He would certainly find a way to smooth over these relationships before taking the next step. As a fellow official, Zhao Desan nodded in understanding and said, "Alright then, Director Sun, can it be done in another month?"

Sun Changsheng nodded and said ambiguously, "It should be about right."

Zhao Desan needed a clear answer and asked him, "Director Sun, is it finally possible or not?" The expression on his face as he asked the question appeared unusually cold and stern, exerting psychological pressure on this old fox.

Sun Changsheng said with a smile, "If the relationships are all smoothed out, it should be possible." His answer remained watertight.

Zhao Desan said with a smile, "Then I, Little Zhao, will wait for your good news, Director Sun."

Sun Changsheng smiled and said, "Director Liu, you can rest assured."

The two chatted in the teahouse for about the time it takes to drink three cups of tea. Sun Changsheng received a phone call and said to Zhao Desan with some embarrassment, "Director Liu, I originally said I would invite you to a meal in a while, but I have something to do now. How about I invite you to a meal next time?"

Zhao Desan said with an indifferent smile, "Director Sun, you are a busy person. Then you go ahead and attend to your business." Saying this, he stood up, ready to leave.

Sun Changsheng also stood up, called the waiter to settle the bill, and the two went downstairs one after the other, each driving away separately.

Driving aimlessly around the city for more than ten minutes, Zhao Desan suddenly thought of Su Qing. Since he started working at the district, he hadn't properly accompanied Su Qing for several months. It just so happened that he was in the city now, and there was nothing to do in the afternoon. He wondered if he should go find Sister Su. After all, when his official career at the Yuyang City Coal Bureau hit a dead end, it was Su Qing who led him onto the path, and it was with her help that he stepped into the officialdom again. Having lived with Su Qing for two years, this fifty-year-old woman had taken care of him meticulously, giving him family-like care and help in both life and work. Now that he was working in the district, he couldn't just ignore that woman who was actually very lonely inside. One must know how to repay kindness. Besides, if he wanted to climb higher in the future, he still couldn't do without Su Qing. After pondering this, Zhao Desan had a goal and drove directly to Su Qing's home.

Before going, he wanted to give Su Qing a surprise, so he didn't notify her. After driving to the entrance of that high-end residential complex, he specifically bought groceries at a vegetable market dozens of meters away, preparing to show off his skills in front of Su Qing and have dinner with her. It was a bit unbelievable to him that he had lived with Su Qing for two years and had never once taken the initiative to cook a meal for her; every time, she would have to cook for him after returning home with a tired body. Thinking of everything she had done for him during those two years living at Sister Su's house, a warm current couldn't help but surge in Zhao Desan's heart.

Arriving at Su Qing's door, with a melancholy mood, Zhao Desan pressed the doorbell. Ever since Zhao Desan left, Su Qing had returned to living alone. It was a rare day off, and she hadn't stepped out of the house all day. At this moment, she was sitting in the living room watching TV to pass the boring and lonely time. Suddenly hearing the doorbell, she thought it was another person begging her for favors coming to visit in person. Feeling a bit impatient, she got up and walked forward, picked up the intercom phone on the wall near the door, and asked, "Who is it?"

"Guess." Zhao Desan outside was devious.

He answered with a smile.

Hearing this familiar voice, Su Qing pondered for a moment and immediately realized it was Zhao Desan. The previously impatient expression on her face immediately did a 180-degree turn. A joyful smile bloomed on that still pretty face. She hurriedly walked forward to open the door and saw Zhao Desan standing at the door with a devious smile. She said with an ecstatic smile, "Desan, you're here. Come in quickly."

"I was worried you weren't here, Sister Su." Zhao Desan walked in while speaking.

Su Qing closed the door and joked happily, "I knew you were coming, so I didn't go out."

"I don't believe it." Zhao Desan said with a smile.

"It's true." Su Qing's face was filled with a joyful smile.

The two walked to the sofa and sat down. Zhao Desan asked her, "Sister, how have you been lately?" As he spoke, he carefully examined Su Qing in front of him. It had been a full few months since they last met. She was still as beautiful as ever. Although there were some fine crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, it didn't affect her naturally beautiful face in the slightest; instead, it added a touch of mature charm to her. Coupled with the noble and intellectual temperament she already possessed, the woman appeared even more mysterious and charming. The only change was that Su Qing looked slightly more haggard than before, and her skin wasn't as supple and smooth as before, but compared to the average woman, her skin, maintained with expensive skincare products, was clearly still much fairer and more supple.
