Chapter 4805: Zheng Chuyi's invitation

Originally, Zhang Dewang's mood had just eased a little, but Zhao Desan's words undoubtedly added fuel to the fire. Seeing Zhang Dewang's lowered eyelids suddenly lift, then he frowned, and said with a smile that didn't reach his eyes, "Comrade Zhao Desan, you are young, you have work ability, and you know how to curry favor with leaders. I, as mayor, have nothing to say about you being elected as the district mayor of Chanba District. But you have to know that the district government is managed by the municipal government, and you, as district mayor, are under my direct command!"

Zhao Desan could hear the subtext of Mayor Zhang's words, laughed, and asked somewhat feignedly, "Mayor Zhang, I don't know what you mean by this? If there is anything I have done wrong in my work, I hope you, as a leader, will point it out directly, and I will definitely correct it when I go down."

Mayor Zhang hummed lightly. When he reached out to the ashtray to get a cigarette, he realized that one cigarette had burned down to only a butt that was still emitting blue smoke. Mayor Zhang raised his head and smiled coldly, saying, "Comrade Zhao Desan, to be honest, I admired you before and felt proud that there could be such a young leader with excellent work ability in the district. But don't be too carried away. Don't forget who you are just because you've achieved a little success. Be careful that cleverness doesn't lead to being misled by cleverness."

Zhao Desan listened to these words from Mayor Zhang and became more and more confused. He could understand what Mayor Zhang said at the beginning, but now these words made him feel very puzzled. He looked aggrieved and said, "Leader, I haven't become carried away because I've achieved a little success. I haven't done anything. I don't know what you mean by these words. If you have an opinion about me, Xiao Zhao, then... then you can just remove me from my position as district mayor, and I'll accept it!" Zhao Desan simply adopted an attitude of "breaking the pot to pieces." But he dared to say this because he actually had some confidence in his heart. He wasn't elected as district mayor by Zhang Dewang, but was openly and honestly elected by more than two hundred people's congress representatives in the district according to the People's Congress election system. Moreover, he had also cleared the relationships with the Organization Department and the Municipal People's Congress, and he had the support of Municipal Party Committee Secretary Yang Tianyu. At worst, there was still the father of the wild little beauty Jin Lulu, Secretary Jin. He wasn't afraid of what Mayor Zhang could do to him!

Mayor Zhang looked at Zhao Desan's "dead pig not afraid of boiling water" attitude. This was the first time he had encountered someone of a lower rank than himself dare to challenge him to his face. How could Mayor Zhang not be annoyed? But in the mayor's office, Mayor Zhang needed to pay attention to his identity. He didn't fly into a rage, but lit another cigarette, took a fierce puff, forced himself to calm down his excited mood, stared straight into Zhao Desan's eyes with those three-cornered eyes, and said with a smile that didn't reach his eyes, "Zhao Desan, you say you haven't done anything, right?"

"Yes." Zhao Desan wiped his nose and nodded feignedly.

"Humph!" Mayor Zhang chuckled and said lukewarmly, "Then let me ask you, did you go to the Municipal Party Committee to find Secretary Yang regarding the textile factory matter and shift the responsibility for the textile factory workers' petition onto me in front of Secretary Yang? Zhao Desan, don't think I don't know anything. I have a clear grasp of your little tricks. It is precisely because you sowed discord in front of Secretary Yang that Secretary Yang expressed support for the decision of your district committee and district government on the textile factory matter! You have to know that you are still young and have experienced too few things. Being an official is not as simple as you think. The water in officialdom is still very deep!"

Hearing these words from Mayor Zhang, Zhao Desan's heart skipped a beat. He realized that Mayor Zhang had called him to the office today to lecture him because he knew everything. But since he already knew, Zhao Desan secretly said in his heart, damn it, might as well go all the way. So, he laughed and said, "Mayor Zhang, I did go to see Secretary Yang, but my starting point was for the development of the district. The situation at the textile factory was already very bad. If it wasn't restructured, it would go bankrupt sooner or later. Instead of letting the textile factory go bankrupt and letting hundreds of workers have no food to eat, it's better to let a capable private enterprise take over. This is also what local leaders should do, right? There's nothing wrong with that, right? As for you saying I sowed discord, I can swear to you, Mayor Zhang, I absolutely did not!" As he spoke, Zhao Desan solemnly raised his right hand as if to swear. Anyway, he had made poisonous oaths to so many women, he didn't mind making one more.

Mayor Zhang saw Zhao Desan's feigned solemnity, hummed and laughed coldly, stubbed out the half-smoked cigarette in the ashtray on the table, stared at Zhao Desan with sharp triangular eyes, and said, "Zhao Desan, District Mayor Zhao, you play a big game. You have Secretary Yang supporting you, so I won't do anything to you. But you have to know that the district government is managed by the municipal government, and you, as district mayor, are also under my direct command. Alright, I'm busy, you go back!" Leaving behind a remark that made Zhao Desan terrified, Mayor Zhang dismissed Zhao Desan from his office.

Walking out of Mayor Zhang's office, Zhao Desan sighed and secretly sighed: Damn it! It's really one wave after another, how did I get into a conflict with the mayor again! He rubbed his cheeks hard, shook his head, and left the municipal government in a depressed mood.

As the saying goes, a higher official suppresses people. Although he had Yang Tianyu supporting him, making an enemy of the mayor was not a good thing in Zhao Desan's view. In future work, Mayor Zhang would definitely make things difficult for him everywhere, which would make him, who had just taken office as district mayor, fall into a passive position in future work. He hadn't had time to be happy for a few days after becoming district mayor, and his mood became extremely depressed because of the gunpowder-filled conversation in Mayor Zhang's office just now.

Zhao Desan recalled his confrontational attitude toward Mayor Zhang in the mayor's office and immediately felt some regret. He knew he was still too young and couldn't hold his temper. He should have been nodding and bowing and submissive in front of the mayor, but he couldn't hold his temper and clashed with the mayor. This was too inappropriate! Lighting a cigarette, Zhao Desan thought that future work would definitely not be easy, and he almost felt like crying.

"Huluwa, Huluwa, seven flowers on one vine..." Just when Zhao Desan was depressed, a cheerful ringtone came from his mobile phone. He absentmindedly took out his phone and glanced at it, seeing the name Zheng Chuyi on the screen. Zheng Chuyi? What is she calling me for? Zhao Desan felt a bit surprised and puzzled. He hesitated for a moment and pressed the answer button. As soon as the call was connected, Zheng Chuyi's gentle and pleasant laughter came from inside: "Zhao Desan, congratulations."

Zhao Desan had just had a quarrel with Zhang Dewang in the mayor's office and was feeling upset at this time. Hearing Zheng Chuyi's laughter, he asked puzzledly, "Congratulations for what?"

"Congratulations on being elected as the district mayor of Chanba District." Zheng Chuyi laughed.

Hearing Zheng Chuyi's hearty laughter on the phone, Zhao Desan suddenly realized. He thought, yes, it's worth congratulating! He then laughed absentmindedly, "Thank you, Great Beauty Zheng."

Zheng Chuyi laughed and asked back, "Then now that you're a district mayor, do you need to show some appreciation?" As she spoke, she let out a series of silver bell-like laughter.

Zhao Desan laughed, "How to show appreciation?"

"Treat me, treat me to a meal." Zheng Chuyi laughed, "Don't forget you still owe me a big meal. I remember it."

This was true. If Zheng Chuyi hadn't exposed the shameful things of the former Municipal Organization Department Minister He Fengnian through media, Zhao Changtian couldn't have successfully sat in the position of Organization Department Minister. If Zhao Changtian hadn't supported him from above, the result of this election might not have been certain. If calculated this way, he really should thank Zheng Chuyi well. But for Zhao Desan, treating a beauty to a meal was not a big deal. So, he laughed and said, "This is just a small matter, a piece of cake. You tell me, when, what do you want to eat, I'm at your service anytime."

Zheng Chuyi immediately laughed, "How about tonight?"

"Tonight?" Zhao Desan couldn't help but look surprised.

"What's wrong? Are you a big leader now, and you have endless social engagements every night?" Zheng Chuyi guessed with a smile.

Zhao Desan hurriedly denied with a smile, "No, no, tonight is tonight. I happen to be in the city. Where are you? I'll come to pick you up." Zhao Desan's mood was just a bit bad, and having a beauty to accompany him was a good thing. He simply agreed decisively.

"I'm still at work, then you drive to the entrance of the newspaper office and wait for me." Zheng Chuyi thought for a while and said. ===== CHAPTER 4806 =====
