Chapter 342

Since he had agreed to attend the dinner, Zhao Desan felt he had to convey a signal to Gao Husheng that he wouldn't make things difficult for him. Although Zhao Desan was naturally flamboyant, he wasn't a two-faced person, and he hated such people, but to avenge Ma Lan's deep hatred, he planned to be two-faced for once. On one hand, he had already sent an email to Vice Mayor Yu to report and expose this serious water seepage accident that had been hidden from the Municipal Committee and Municipal Government, and on the other hand, he pretended to be relaxed and happy to attend the appointment.

Arriving at Sunji Seafood Restaurant, according to the private room Section Chief Song told him in the message, the waiter led him to the door of the private room on the second floor. Before pushing the door to enter, Zhao Desan adjusted the expression on his face to be more relaxed; after all, he had once been at odds with that guy Gao Husheng at the court gate.

Zhao Desan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, a relaxed smile hanging on his face, and pushed the door open. He saw that besides his direct leader Section Chief Song, there were also Gao Husheng and the two right-hand men he brought.

Seeing him enter, Gao Husheng seemed to have changed into a different person. He stood up with a smile and greeted him, "Comrade Comrade Xiao Zhao, you're here. Come, sit down, sit down quickly."

Section Chief Song joked, "Comrade Comrade Xiao Zhao, look, General Manager Gao specifically named you today and asked me to bring you along. If you hadn't come, General Manager Gao wouldn't even let the waiter serve the dishes. Haha, sit down."

Zhao Desan smiled calmly, walked to Section Chief Song's side, pulled out a chair, sat down, and said, "I'm basking in your light today, Section Chief Song. It's my honor to have the chance to have a meal with General Manager Gao."

Gao Husheng's triangular eyes narrowed into a line, a fake smile hanging on his face, and he said, "Comrade Comrade Xiao Zhao, look at what you're saying. Your Section Chief Song told me you're his right-hand man. Besides, you people in the bureau are all the leaders of us people. How could I not dare to invite you? It's giving me face that you can come. Isn't that right, Section Chief Song?"

"Yes, yes, General Manager Gao is right. General Manager Gao, our Comrade Comrade Xiao Zhao is here now, hurry up and let them serve the food. You can't keep us hungry." Section Chief Song joked loudly.

Gao Husheng waved his hand at the young man standing behind him, and the young man went out to instruct the waiter to start serving the dishes. Another attendant respectfully poured wine for the three of them and pushed it in front of them.

"Come, Section Chief Song, Comrade Comrade Xiao Zhao, let's have a drink first." Gao Husheng said, raising his glass.

Zhao Desan handled it very steadily. Anyway, he would just follow Section Chief Song. Seeing him raise his glass, Zhao Desan also raised his, clinked it lightly with Gao Husheng's, watched them both finish the wine in their glasses, and then downed his in one gulp.

Gao Husheng put down his glass, smacked his lips, took out a pack of soft Zhonghua cigarettes, and while pulling one out, said, "I know Section Chief Song's alcohol tolerance is very good. I don't know how Comrade Comrade Xiao Zhao's alcohol tolerance is?" As he spoke, he handed a cigarette to Section Chief Song and Zhao Desan each, and hurriedly stood up, bent over, and wanted to light them for them.

After lighting Section Chief Song's cigarette, when he wanted to light Zhao Desan's, Zhao Desan pushed it away with one hand and took out a lighter from his pocket with the other, saying, "General Manager Gao, I'll do it myself."

"Hey, Comrade Comrade Xiao Zhao, let me light it for you, come, come, come." Gao Husheng smiled, refusing to give up, and had already lit the lighter by his mouth. So, Zhao Desan could only cover the flame with his hand according to the rules, put the cigarette in his mouth, and lean over to light it. Only then did Gao Husheng retract his body with satisfaction, sit down, light a cigarette for himself, took a puff, and said, "It's still better for us men to drink together and let go. Look at the day you came down to the mine, we didn't treat you well. With your Bureau Chief Zhang present, we didn't even dare to smoke a cigarette, afraid of choking the big leader. Haha, the hospitality was poor that day, Section Chief Song and Comrade Comrade Xiao Zhao, please don't take it to heart."
