Chapter 2887

Zhao Desan feigned shame and said, "This time I failed to keep Old Liu, I really have no way. District Mayor Liu, you also tried your best, I just thought about seeing if District Mayor Liu could participate together to see Old Liu off."

Liu Deliang smiled faintly and declined tactfully, "We can't control this matter. Little Zhao, as a leader, you have this heart to see off an old comrade, this is as it should be, but it's not very appropriate for me to go. Besides, there is a lot of work at hand, and I can't spare the time. You go, I won't go."

Liu Deliang's refusal was within Zhao Desan's expectation. Whether he went or not made no difference to Zhao Desan, but he took this into account to avoid Liu Deliang having any thoughts about himself. Therefore, Zhao Desan didn't force it anymore. He laughed and said, "That's fine, District Mayor Liu, if you are busy, then forget it, and I can't delay your work."

Liu Deliang smiled and said, "Mm, then Little Zhao, you just handle it."

"Okay, then District Mayor Liu, I won't delay your work, goodbye," Zhao Desan said.

"Alright, goodbye," Liu Deliang said politely.

After finishing the call with Liu Deliang, Zhao Desan felt a little more at ease. He sat at the desk, lit a cigarette, and smoked. Looking at the time, it was almost time to get off work. Just as he was about to call Tong Xiaoli's mobile phone to ask how things were going, the office door was pushed open, and Tong Xiaoli walked in.

Zhao Desan asked her with concern, "Little Li, is it done?"

Tong Xiaoli nodded and said, "The leaders have all been notified, the dinner is set, and a private room has been booked at the Fuli Hotel."

Zhao Desan nodded with satisfaction and praised Tong Xiaoli, saying, "I am at ease with you handling things."

Tong Xiaoli smiled a little embarrassedly and then asked Zhao Desan, "By the way, Director Liu, aren't you studying at the Provincial Party School? Why did you come back this afternoon?"

"I... I heard that the above issued a personnel transfer document for Old Liu, so I specifically rushed back to see him off," Zhao Desan was stunned for a moment, and quickly found an excuse to justify himself, fooling Tong Xiaoli.

Tong Xiaoli smiled and said, "Yes, you are a leader, the above will definitely notify you first about personnel transfers."

Zhao Desan laughed, picked up the teacup on the table, unscrewed the lid, and wanted to drink water. Just as he brought the water cup to his mouth, he frowned and put it down again. He just remembered that the cup hadn't been used for more than a week.

Just at this time, Tong Xiaoli didn't say a word, walked up, picked up Zhao Desan's water cup, and walked out. She rinsed it in the water room outside, came back, carefully brewed a cup of jasmine tea for him, and put it on his table.

Smelling the jasmine tea fragrance overflowing from the cup, looking at the beautiful female assistant sitting not far away, a very comfortable feeling rose in Zhao Desan's heart. Picking up the cup, Zhao Desan took a sip of tea and suddenly thought of the time Zheng Jie came to find Tong Xiaoli and deliberately proposed marriage to him. Zhao Desan couldn't help but ask Tong Xiaoli, "Little Li, what did that Sister Zheng come to find you for that day?"

Tong Xiaoli was asked by Zhao Desan, and a red blush like fire couldn't help but appear on her face. She looked at him shyly and said, "I... didn't I call you and tell you?"

"Is it? I can't remember it a bit," Zhao Desan took a sip of the hot tea with fragrance and said, pretending to be confused.

Tong Xiaoli said in a low voice, "She came to find me... saying let us... let us get married..." As she spoke, Tong Xiaoli lowered her head with a red face, not even daring to look at Zhao Desan.

"What? She came to propose marriage?" Zhao Desan feigned surprise.

Tong Xiaoli didn't make a sound, and silence was considered an admission.

Zhao Desan laughed as if it were very funny and said, "This Sister Zheng, how can she be so meddlesome, even acting as a matchmaker for us." As he spoke, he asked Tong Xiaoli with a ghostly smile, "Little Li, since she said that, do you have any thoughts?" Zhao Desan wanted to test what Tong Xiaoli really felt about him.

"I... what thoughts could I have?" Tong Xiaoli glanced at Zhao Desan, pretending to be indifferent.

"Since she said that, let's just get married," Zhao Desan made a joke, but in fact, he was throwing a brick to attract jade.

"Go, go, go, who wants to marry you!" Tong Xiaoli glanced at Zhao Desan and muttered.

Zhao Desan asked with a smile, "Why? You still don't look down on me?"

"It's not that I don't look down on you, it's that I'm not worthy of you," Tong Xiaoli said in a low voice, with a shy blush on her face. Seeing that expression, Zhao Desan knew his judgment was correct. Tong Xiaoli definitely had that intention toward him, but a girl's reserve made her embarrassed to admit it.

Zhao Desan said with a grin, "It's enough that I'm worthy of you, haha..."

"Forget it, you are such an outstanding man, I don't know how many women like you. Although that Sister Zheng came to find me and said that, why do I feel that she seems to be a bit jealous because she saw us together that day, and deliberately came to find me?" Tong Xiaoli turned her face, raised her beautiful eyebrows, and looked at Zhao Desan with a strange look.

Tong Xiaoli's look was like interrogating Zhao Desan about his relationship with Zheng Jie, which made him stunned for a while. Then he took a sip of tea as if nothing had happened and said, "What are you talking about? She is older than me, how is that possible?"

"Isn't it popular to have a sister-brother relationship now?" Now it was Tong Xiaoli's turn to tease Zhao Desan with a bit of jealousy.

Zhao Desan was speechless for a while by Tong Xiaoli's words. Women know women best. Presumably, Tong Xiaoli could also see that the look Zheng Jie gave him that day was a bit ambiguous. Zhao Desan smiled awkwardly and cut off the topic at the right time, asking her seriously, "By the way, what time does it start tonight?"

"This depends on how you, Director Liu, arrange it, but the restaurant said that if you don't come before nine o'clock, the private room will be used by other guests," Tong Xiaoli said.

Zhao Desan raised his wrist to check his watch and said, "It's almost time to get off work, let's go over as soon as we get off work. How about this, I'll go over and wait first, you come with the others."

Tong Xiaoli nodded.

So, in order to avoid Tong Xiaoli using Zheng Jie to tease him again, Zhao Desan left the office a little earlier and drove to the Fuli Hotel. When passing by Chen Man's car beauty shop, he saw Chen Man bending over to wash the car from a distance, so he quickly stepped on the accelerator, accelerated, and flew past her car beauty shop door in a flash.

After sitting down in the private room, Zhao Desan asked the waiter for a pot of tea, smoked and drank tea by himself, thinking about how he should say tonight at the dinner table to dispel the hatred of the old thorn Liu Ziqiang toward himself, while waiting for them to come.

About half an hour later, Zhao Desan heard a group of people talking in the corridor. After a while, the department leaders and several members of the leadership team in the unit, led by Tong Xiaoli, came to the private room. Seeing that Zhao Desan was already inside, they greeted Zhao Desan politely one by one.

"You're all here, sit down, sit down." Zhao Desan also smiled and greeted everyone to sit down in a decent way. As he spoke, he deliberately looked at Liu Ziqiang and saw that the old thorn was looking at him with a hostile look.

When the two people's eyes met, the old thorn touched his nose and sat down on the side.

"Are you all here?" Zhao Desan looked around and counted in his heart.

Gao Haiping said with a smile, "All here."

Zhao Desan instructed Tong Xiaoli, "Little Li, then let the waiter serve the dishes?"

Tong Xiaoli nodded and greeted the waiter.

A table of people toasted and lit cigarettes for each other while serving dishes, chatting about some irrelevant things, and the atmosphere seemed very lively and harmonious, unlike what Zhao Desan thought, which made him breathe a sigh of relief. ===== CHAPTER 2888 =====
