Chapter 3683: Someone is Following

Wu Min then patiently explained to Zhao Desan, "My meaning is to let you hold the position of Director of the Office concurrently, not to transfer you over."

"Concurrently?" Zhao Desan looked at Wu Min with some surprise, "Can I handle this concurrently?"

Wu Min said, "I think it is most appropriate for you to hold it concurrently, because the work of your District Construction Committee and the District Committee Office is closely related. If you are the one in charge of these two institutions, I think the connection between the work of both sides will be smoother."

Hearing Sister Wu's idea, Zhao Desan suddenly felt it was true. Although he had always cooperated well with Wang Zilin in his work, after all, because they were two units, there were still some aspects of improper cooperation. If he were really to be the top leader of these two units concurrently, not only would the connection in work be much smoother, but his status and position in the district would also be improved because of this. Whether it was for Sister Wu or for his own development, it was a beneficial thing without any harm. Zhao Desan thought for a moment and agreed with Sister Wu's idea, but he still had some concerns and said, "Sister Wu, you put it this way, and I think it is the same thing. If I can be in charge of the work of the District Committee Office, the connection between the work of the Construction Committee and the Office will be smoother in the future, which will play a certain role in promoting the construction of the district. It is good, but after all, this is your idea alone. I think other leaders in the district will definitely oppose this idea, especially District Mayor Liu; he will definitely not agree."

In fact, Zhao Desan was overthinking his fear of Liu Deliang. Because after he saved Liu Deliang's ex-wife, Wang Juan, Wang Juan, who was also a woman who knew how to repay kindness, told Liu Deliang that Zhao Desan had saved her, and specifically urged her ex-husband Liu Deliang not to retaliate against Zhao Desan anymore. And Liu Deliang had never had any personal grudge against Zhao Desan; the previous retaliation against him was entirely because he listened to his ex-wife's slander in front of him. Now that his ex-wife's attitude had suddenly taken a 180-degree turn, completely different from before, Liu Deliang also let go of his hatred for Zhao Desan.

Zhao Desan's concerns made Wu Min feel that it was not unreasonable. Indeed, these days she could clearly feel that Liu Deliang had a big opinion of Zhao Desan. Take the 'flour incident' that happened when Deputy Secretary Liu Xuemei came to the district to inspect and comfort the work last time; Liu Deliang made a fuss about it and wanted to use that incident to drive Zhao Desan out of Chanba District. If it hadn't been for Liu Xuemei coming forward in person, maybe Zhao Desan would have been labeled with corruption by Liu Deliang.

Wu Min squinted her peach blossom eyes and thought for a while, then said, "I also think so, mainly it's Liu Deliang's hurdle. When the district holds a meeting on Monday to study Wang Zilin's matter, I will try to bring up this idea first to see what other leaders think. If Liu Deliang doesn't oppose it, then it will be easy to handle. If Liu Deliang opposes it, then we might need higher-level leaders to come forward..."

Zhao Desan didn't know who the 'higher-level leaders' Sister Wu was talking about were. He looked at Sister Wu with a blank expression and couldn't help but ask, "Sister Wu, who are the higher-level leaders you are talking about?"

"Leaders in the city. As long as the leaders in the city speak up and let you hold the position of Director of the District Committee Office concurrently, then Liu Deliang won't be able to say anything more," Wu Min said.

Speaking of leaders in the city, Zhao Desan couldn't help but count on his fingers in his heart. The city leaders he knew now included Organization Department Minister He Fengnian, Municipal Public Security Bureau Director He Bingqian, and Qiu Qiming, who had already been promoted to Deputy Director with his help. Of course, there was also a big figure—Yang Meixia's father, the top leader of the Municipal Committee, Yang Tianyu. But for Zhao Desan, He Fengnian would definitely not come forward easily; this old guy was very slick and would not offend people easily. And the Municipal Public Security Bureau had no say in the personnel appointments in the district. The only person who could make the final decision, Yang Tianyu, had no good impression of Zhao Desan. Thinking this way, Zhao Desan felt that it might be a bit difficult to rely on his own ability to move the city leaders to come forward and speak for him.

So Zhao Desan frowned and said, "But I don't know the leaders in the city? Maybe when that time really comes, I will still need you, Sister Wu, to come forward and plead for me."

Wu Min looked at Zhao Desan mysteriously and said, "If that time really comes, you will still need to come forward yourself."

"Come forward myself?" Zhao Desan frowned, unable to laugh or cry, "I don't know anyone?"

Zhao Desan still had one last force he could use, and that was Su Qing, the Minister of the Provincial Organization Department and Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Committee. However, the central government intended for Sister Su to go to a relatively backward province in the southwest to serve as governor and coordinate the overall situation. During this period, Sister Su was in the period of inspection by relevant central departments and could not easily affect the central government's inspection of her. So for now, he could only place his expectations on Sister Wu, hoping she could come forward and help him.

"Don't you know any of the leaders in the city?" Wu Min asked back.

"It's not that I don't know them. If you say I know them, I do know a few, but they can't manage the affairs of our district, right?" Zhao Desan said helplessly.

"Tell me, which leaders in the city do you know?" Wu Min looked at Zhao Desan with interest, wanting to see if there was anyone who could be used.

"The Director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, the Deputy Director, and Minister He..." Zhao Desan counted the leaders of the municipal units he knew on his fingers, smiled helplessly, and said, "The Public Security Bureau definitely can't intervene, but Minister He is more familiar with you, Sister Wu. You know his character better than I do; he definitely won't express his position easily..."

Speaking of He Fengnian, a blush appeared on Wu Min's face, and her expression became a bit awkward. She said, "You forgot that you still know one person!"

"Who else?" Zhao Desan looked at Sister Wu with a blank expression, not knowing who the person she was talking about was.

"Liu Xuemei, Deputy Secretary Liu," Wu Min reminded, "Did you forget that for the sake of my reappointment in the district, you accompanied me to Deputy Secretary Liu's house?"

Reminded by Wu Min, Zhao Desan suddenly looked at Wu Min with a sudden realization, and then said very awkwardly, "Last time I spilled flour all over Deputy Secretary Liu, how could I have the face to ask her to help me? Besides, I am not very familiar with Deputy Secretary Liu." Thinking of that night at the hotel, Liu Xuemei's perverted request to him, Zhao Desan was very afraid to go and ask her for help. Zhao Desan considered himself to have seen countless women, but this was the first time he had met a woman like Liu Xuemei, who actually asked him to lick her body carefully from foot to head, using his tongue to make her reach satisfaction. This was not something a man should do; it was clearly treating him like a eunuch. So, in order to regain his dignity as a man, that night, Zhao Desan righteously refused Liu Xuemei's request.

If he had to go and ask Deputy Secretary Liu for help because of this concurrent position as Director of the Office, Zhao Desan really didn't have the guts. He would even rather not hold the position of Director of the Office concurrently.

Wu Min said, "Deputy Secretary Liu didn't take that matter to heart at all, so what are you afraid of?"

"How do you know she didn't take it to heart?" Zhao Desan asked Sister Wu. He felt that a woman like Liu Xuemei, who had some psychological perversion, must be a bit petty. ===== CHAPTER 3684 =====
