Chapter 3823

Zhao Desan laughed 'hehe' and looked at Su Qing.

Su Qing didn't know why, opened her big eyes, and looked at Zhao Desan.

Zhao Desan said with a wicked smile, "You are still the one who treats me well, Su Jie."

Su Qing smiled and said, "Then I'll go buy some groceries."

Zhao Desan stopped Su Jie, who was about to go out, and said, "Don't eat here, I'm treating today, let's go out to eat."

Su Qing asked with confusion, "Why? Is there any happy event worth celebrating?"

Zhao Desan suddenly thought that Su Jie might not know about him being promoted to Deputy District Mayor, so he said somewhat proudly, "It's definitely something worth celebrating."

Su Qing widened her eyes slightly and asked curiously, "What is it?"

Zhao Desan said with a mysterious smile, "I'll tell you when we eat."

Su Qing nodded, followed Zhao Desan out of the villa area, got into his car, and went out to eat with him. In the car, Su Qing thought of the purple-red mark on Zhao Desan's neck. She knew what that represented and felt very uncomfortable in her heart. She knew he must have a girlfriend, and couldn't help but sigh in the car. Thinking, isn't this what I wanted? It's enough that Zhao Desan has me in his heart. I'm already so old, to have a young man thinking of me, what else can I ask for!

Thinking this way, Su Qing couldn't help but turn her head to look at Zhao Desan's neck again. Seeing the purple-red mark on his neck, she felt both sad and happy. Su Qing didn't have too many extravagant hopes for Zhao Desan; she had always treated Zhao Desan as her own relative, and her only wish was for Zhao Desan to be well.

Zhao Desan drove Su Jie to a very elegant and quiet restaurant, found a quiet corner to sit down with her, and said very generously, "Su Jie, order whatever you want to eat, I'm treating today."

Seeing Zhao Desan's generous appearance, Su Qing smiled, picked up the menu, and ordered a few home-cooked dishes. For a high-ranking official of the Provincial Committee like Su Qing, she had long been tired of all kinds of big fish and meat, raw and fresh seafood, and birds and beasts, and had no interest at all.

After putting down the menu, Su Qing smiled and asked Zhao Desan, "What is the happy event worth celebrating today that you had to call me here to eat?"

Zhao Desan then said with a smile, "Su Jie, tell you a good news, I've been promoted."

"Promoted?" Su Qing was stunned at first, then asked with a smile, "What official position were you promoted to?" In her opinion, Zhao Desan was already amazing enough to be the Director of the Construction Committee in Chanba District at such a young age. Where else could he be promoted to?

"I am now the Deputy District Mayor of Chanba District in charge of urban construction," Zhao Desan said with a smile.

"You are a Deputy District Mayor?" Su Qing couldn't help but widen her eyes, looking at Zhao Desan with a surprised expression. She never expected this point.

Seeing Su Jie's unbelievable expression, Zhao Desan explained with a smile, "Some time ago, the district carried out large-scale demolition, but encountered resistance in the demolition work. A fertilizer factory refused to cooperate with the demolition. The district specially posted a list to recruit talents and held a cadre meeting, saying that whoever could successfully complete the demolition of the fertilizer factory would be promoted to Deputy District Mayor. As a result, no one was willing to take on this heavy responsibility. I wanted to try it, and as a result, I successfully completed the demolition of the fertilizer factory. The leaders of the district didn't break their promise and promoted me to Deputy District Mayor."

Listening to Zhao Desan's rough account, Su Qing looked at the young man sitting opposite her again and felt genuinely impressed, because in this matter, he hadn't looked for her, and she hadn't intervened to exert pressure on the district. It could be said that it was entirely based on his own true ability, which made Su Qing feel very shocked.

"Then it's not too late for Jie to congratulate you now, right?" Su Qing was also happy for Zhao Desan and said with a beaming smile.

Zhao Desan shook his head with a chuckle and said, "Not late, not late."

Su Qing said happily, "I didn't expect you to be promoted to Deputy District Mayor, and you didn't tell me."

Zhao Desan said, "This was also a matter of the past two days. I didn't want to add trouble to you, Su Jie, during this period. By the way, how is your matter?"

Su Qing replied, "Still in the inspection period. Let's see how the superiors will arrange it after the inspection period ends. I'm already at this age, and I'm paying less and less attention to fame and fortune."

The waiter served the dishes. Su Qing said to the waiter, "Bring another bottle of red wine."

Zhao Desan raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile, "Su Jie, do you want to drink?"

Su Qing wiped the broken hair at her temples and said with a smile, "I'm happy for you, and we haven't seen each other for a long time, so let's drink a little."

Zhao Desan nodded and said excitedly, "As long as you like it, Su Jie, I will accompany you to the end, hehe..."

The two chatted while eating, occasionally drinking a cup, and the atmosphere was very pleasant. The meal lasted for a full two hours. Before ending, Zhao Desan revealed the real purpose of his visit to Su Qing today. Before saying it, he first pretended to be depressed, sighing from time to time, making Su Qing feel that he had something on his mind.

Sure enough, seeing Zhao Desan's absentminded appearance, Su Qing asked, "Desan, do you have something on your mind?"

Zhao Desan nodded and said gloomily, "I encountered a little trouble at work."

"What's wrong?" Su Qing pursued.
