Chapter 4677

"Do you think I would lie to you!" Jin Lulu said with annoyance.

Zhao Desan hurriedly asked, "Which hotel is it being held at?" In Zhao Desan's impression, generally, when big leaders have birthdays, they usually hold banquets in high-end hotels to show their superior status.

"What hotel? Just have a meal at home tonight!" Jin Lulu said.

"Secretary Jin is having a birthday, how can it be at home?" Zhao Desan asked back, confused, "At least set up a couple of tables at a hotel, right?"

"Tch, you think everyone is like you? My old man is different from other leaders. He doesn't want to make a big splash, just having a meal at home is fine." Jin Lulu started to stand up for her father.

Zhao Desan then understood and said 'oh'. But thinking carefully, based on his understanding of Secretary Jin, he really wasn't the type of person who liked to make a big splash about everything. And in private contact, he didn't have any leader airs, unlike those small leaders who have just gained a little power in government units—their official rank isn't high, but their airs are impossibly big. Perhaps it was precisely because of his low-key conduct that he was able to become the number one person in the Provincial Committee!

"What time tonight?" Zhao Desan asked.

"Just come over earlier!" Jin Lulu said in a commanding tone, still extremely domineering.

"Alright then, I'll go over after I get off work." Zhao Desan agreed reluctantly.

After receiving the news that Secretary Jin was having a birthday, how could Zhao Desan wait until off-work time? After hanging up the phone, he was thinking about what birthday gift he should buy for Secretary Jin. Sitting in the office, he racked his brains for a long time, thinking that if the gift he sent was too expensive, it would feel a bit off, and if it were too cheap, it wouldn't be presentable. After thinking it over, Zhao Desan finally felt that he should start from Secretary Jin's preferences and cater to them. This is the best realm of gift-giving. Although Zhao Desan didn't know exactly what Secretary Jin liked best, from the few times he had observed while going to Secretary Jin's house, he felt that Secretary Jin was very interested in calligraphy. Thinking of this, his mind flashed, and he suddenly thought of something.

Before getting off work, Zhao Desan packed his things and hurriedly left the unit. He drove to a very famous antique street in Xijing City, strolled from the beginning of the street to the end, and selected a set of wolf-hair brushes truly produced in Suzhou Lake for Secretary Jin. After buying the gift, Zhao Desan checked the time; it was already 6:30 in the afternoon. 6:30 in autumn is already evening, so Zhao Desan hurriedly rushed to Secretary Jin's house without stopping.

When standing at the door and ringing the doorbell, Zhao Desan still didn't have much confidence in his heart, not knowing if Secretary Jin would like this gift of his, and for a moment, he felt a bit nervous.

"Ding dong..." After the doorbell rang three times, the living room door slowly opened a crack. It was the service staff at Secretary Jin's house. Zhao Desan had been to Secretary Jin's house several times, and this person recognized him, so he enthusiastically and smilingly invited Zhao Desan in.

When Zhao Desan just stepped into the living room door, his eyes suddenly widened, his face full of surprise, because he saw... he saw that Municipal Committee Secretary Yang Tianyu was also at Secretary Jin's house. His heart suddenly became uneasy, and for a moment, he was at a loss, even having the heart to leave.

And at this time, Secretary Jin and Yang Tianyu also looked toward the door at the same time. Seeing that it was Zhao Desan who had come, Secretary Jin smiled and took the initiative to greet him, saying, "Comrade Comrade Xiao Zhao is here! Come over and sit!"

Zhao Desan nodded with an awkward smile on his face, his legs walking over with heavy steps as if they were filled with lead, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say.

"This is our Municipal Committee Secretary Yang Tianyu, do you know him?" Secretary Jin, with his usual approachable smile, introduced Yang Tianyu to Zhao Desan.

Zhao Desan forced a smile, nodded at Yang Tianyu, and stuttered, "Secretary Yang, hello."

"Comrade Comrade Xiao Zhao, I didn't expect you to know our Secretary Jin too." Yang Tianyu said with a very polite smile, "Sit, why are you standing?"

Zhao Desan then timidly sat down on the sofa. Just after sitting down, the wild little beauty in the room upstairs heard Zhao Desan's voice coming from downstairs, so she immediately opened the door, rushed downstairs with an excited face, arrived in front of Zhao Desan, and placed her two arms on his shoulders without any concern, saying, "You didn't even tell me when you came!"

Jin Lulu's casual action, in front of Yang Tianyu, made Zhao Desan feel very uncomfortable, because he was most worried now that Yang Tianyu would misunderstand and think that the reason he was no longer interacting with Yang Meixia was because he had climbed up to Secretary Jin's daughter. Jin Lulu's action, which seemed very casual between young men and women, made Zhao Desan feel as uneasy as if he had seven or eight rabbits in his heart, and he didn't even dare to look at Municipal Committee Secretary Yang Tianyu's expression.

"Go, come upstairs with me!" Jin Lulu pulled Zhao Desan, who was somewhat stunned, and said in a commanding tone.

"Lulu, you go up first. Comrade Comrade Xiao Zhao just arrived, accompany me and Secretary Yang to chat for a while, don't make trouble!" Secretary Jin said somewhat seriously to his precious daughter.

"Tch!" Jin Lulu curled her lips with annoyance, turned around, went upstairs, and slipped into her room.

After Jin Lulu left, Secretary Jin said to Yang Tianyu with a smile, "This girl of mine is too wild. If she were half as good as your fourth girl, it would be great."

Zhao Desan knew that the fourth girl was Yang Meixia's nickname. Thinking of the environment he was in now—one was the Municipal Committee Secretary, the other was the Provincial Committee Secretary—being sandwiched in the middle was really not a good feeling. He thought to himself that if he had known, he shouldn't have come tonight.

Yang Tianyu complimented Secretary Jin, saying, "Lulu is still young, she'll be fine in two years."

Zhao Desan listened to Secretary Jin and Yang Tianyu chatting, and he couldn't get a word in. Sitting there alone was also very uncomfortable, so he simply looked around, trying to find a way to get a little further away from them. Just at this time, Zhao Desan saw Jin Lulu's mother walking out from the kitchen, going to the dining table on the side to get something, and looking toward this side. Seeing that Zhao Desan had already arrived, she nodded at Zhao Desan with a smile. Zhao Desan took the opportunity to say to Secretary Jin with a smile, "I'll go see if Auntie needs any help."

As he spoke, he got up and hurriedly left the living room, arriving in the kitchen. He saw Mother Jin bending over and beating eggs. Mother Jin, wearing a set of home clothes, gave people a very virtuous feeling. Because she was bending over, her buttocks were raised high. Mature women in their forties or fifties, without exception, all have very plump and rounded buttocks. Suddenly seeing Mother Jin's high-raised, rounded buttocks, Zhao Desan's heart instinctively became impulsive. But he quickly adjusted his emotions and secretly cursed himself in his heart: Damn it, even daring to have designs on Secretary Jin's wife, I think you don't want to mix in this anymore!

"Auntie Jin, is there anything I can help with?" Zhao Desan took the initiative to break the silence and asked.

Mother Jin turned her head, saw Zhao Desan standing at the kitchen door, and said with a smile, "It's nothing, you go accompany your Uncle Jin and Secretary Yang to chat, you aren't needed here."

Zhao Desan said with a smile, "It's okay, Uncle Jin has Secretary Yang to accompany him, I'll come and help you, Auntie."

Mother Jin saw Zhao Desan's enthusiastic appearance and said with a smile, "Alright then, you help Auntie pick the vegetables!"

"Mm." Zhao Desan nodded, then walked up and stood in front of the sink, picking vegetables while chatting with Mother Jin. At this time, Zhao Desan's heart was actually very nervous and uneasy. What he was most afraid of now was that Yang Tianyu would tell Secretary Jin about the things between him and Yang Meixia. Although in his view, this was all Yang Meixia's wishful thinking, Yang Tianyu certainly wouldn't think so.

With an uneasy mood, Zhao Desan gradually quieted down. Mother Jin had been busy for a long time without hearing Zhao Desan speak, turned her head, and saw Zhao Desan thinking about something in a daze, so she asked with a smile, "Godson, what are you thinking about?"

Zhao Desan then came back to his senses, hurriedly pretended to smile as if nothing had happened, and said, "Nothing, nothing at all."

Mother Jin asked with a mischievous smile, "Are you thinking about the things between you and Lulu?"

Zhao Desan smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to answer Mother Jin's question.

"Auntie Jin, is Secretary Yang staying for dinner tonight too?" Zhao Desan asked tentatively.

"This isn't clear yet. Secretary Yang is so busy all day long, he doesn't know where he heard that your Uncle Jin is having a birthday today, and suddenly came to the house." When Mother Jin spoke, she glanced lightly at the living room, making Zhao Desan feel that she didn't seem to welcome Secretary Yang very much.
