Chapter 3682

Zhao Desan chuckled and said, "In officialdom, who isn't capable of drinking? Sister Wu, your drinking capacity is also quite high."

Zhao Desan's words were correct. In Chinese officialdom, drinking is a discipline. If an official cannot drink, their political destiny won't be very good. Many interpersonal relationships are cultivated through mutual toasts in officialdom. Although Wu Min inevitably fell into the routine when attending those drinking parties with higher-level leaders, toasting the leaders who were higher in rank than her one by one at the table, she never drove after drinking. Besides, as the top leader of Chanba District, under normal circumstances, she wouldn't drive herself; no matter where she went, someone would drive to pick her up. But Zhao Desan was different. Although he was the Director of the District Construction Committee, he had requested at the beginning that the unit not assign him a full-time driver, so whether he was driving out for official business or handling private matters, he had always driven himself.

Wu Min smiled faintly, then turned her head to look at Zhao Desan with a serious expression, and said solemnly, "I am different from you. I don't drive myself, so it doesn't matter how much I drink. But you can't; it's easy to have an accident if you drive after drinking too much. Today, Wang Zilin's end is an example. You must take this as a warning in the future. Don't drive yourself after drinking, you know?"

Hearing Sister Wu's words, Zhao Desan turned his head to look at her. Seeing her serious expression, a warm current surged in his heart. Her concern made Zhao Desan, who lacked family care, feel warm inside. Being able to work under such a female leader who knew how to care for him, Zhao Desan was already very satisfied. He smiled and asked jokingly, "Sister Wu, are you this good to everyone under you?"

Wu Min rolled her eyes at Zhao Desan and said, "Where would I have so much time to say this to others!"

Realizing that he was unique in Sister Wu's heart, Zhao Desan felt a wave of joy and said with a grin, "Thank you for your concern, Sister Wu."

Wu Min couldn't smile now, because Wang Zilin's matter was still quite troublesome. Firstly, she was afraid that Wang Zilin's drunk driving would cause a public opinion storm and affect the district's reputation. Secondly, with Wang Zilin dead, arranging who would take the position of Director of the District Office was a thorny issue for Wu Min. This candidate could not be decided easily, because firstly, this person must be able to cooperate well with Zhao Desan on the district's development and construction work; secondly, this person must not be a direct subordinate of other leaders in the district; thirdly, this candidate must have the potential to be cultivated into her own direct subordinate. Wu Min knew that Liu Deliang would definitely use this matter to make a fuss. Once there was a lucrative position vacant in the district, every leader would wish to insert their own people, so the competition would be quite fierce.

On the way home, Wu Min pondered this matter the whole way until the car stopped downstairs at the residential complex. Zhao Desan turned his face and said, "Sister Wu, we're home."

Wu Min just came back to her senses, but looked at Zhao Desan with a strange look, sitting in the car unmoved. Seeing this, Zhao Desan couldn't help but ask curiously, "Sister Wu, what are you thinking about?"

Wu Min stared straight at Zhao Desan with deep eyes and asked, "Xiao Zhao, do you want to be the Director of the Office?"

Zhao Desan was stunned at first, then asked in confusion, "Sister Wu, are you dissatisfied with my work at the Construction Committee?"

Wu Min shook her head and said, "No, isn't Wang Zilin dead now? The position of Director of the Office is vacant. I've thought about it, and this position cannot be filled by Liu Deliang with his people. If that happens, it will affect your work in the future. The Office and your Construction Committee have many connection points, so we must find someone we can trust to replace Wang Zilin. After thinking about it, the only person I can trust in the district is you."

Hearing Sister Wu's words, Zhao Desan understood in his heart. Sister Wu wanted him to be the Director of the District Committee Office, but for Zhao Desan, this was just a lateral transfer, and he had been working at the District Construction Committee for almost two years; he had completely mastered the overall situation of the District Construction Committee. Suddenly being transferred to a new unit would definitely be disadvantageous to him. So Zhao Desan tactfully refused, "I don't understand the work of the Office, and I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it. Let's just forget it, okay?"

Hearing Zhao Desan say this, Wu Min frowned slightly and asked in confusion, "You have always been so bold in doing things; why are you so timid today?"

Zhao Desan laughed and said, "It's not a question of being timid, but I haven't done it before, so I have no confidence. Besides, aren't I doing well at the District Construction Committee now? I know Sister Wu wants to insert her own people, but if I go over, what will happen to the work at the District Construction Committee? Who will take over? It's impossible to let Gao Haiping take over, right? He is Liu Deliang's man."

Hearing these concerns of Zhao Desan, Wu Min realized that Zhao Desan had misunderstood her meaning. She smiled faintly and said calmly, "That's not what I meant..."

Zhao Desan frowned slightly, looked at Wu Min with a confused expression, and couldn't help but ask, "Then what do you mean, Sister Wu?"
