Chapter 516

"Deputy Mayor Yu, I understand. I will definitely learn my lesson, hurry down to investigate thoroughly, and ensure I don't cause you any trouble." Zhao Desan said, giving him a sincere guarantee.

"You kid, remember what you said. If any more safety hazards appear, I will absolutely not let you off like I did today!" Yu Haiping warned.

Zhao Desan nodded repeatedly.

Yu Haiping softened his tone a bit and said, "Alright, you go out first. I have other things to discuss with Old Zhang."

Seeing that Yu Haiping wasn't as angry, Zhao Desan nodded with a fake smile and left Zhang Ailing's office in low spirits. As soon as he returned to his office, Su Jing asked, "Where did you go?" Her expression and demeanor were as if she didn't even call him Section Chief after having intimacy just now.

"Went to the Director's." He returned to his seat and sat down, thinking about Yu Haiping's undercover visit to the coal mine. From his attitude, it could be seen that this guy's attitude toward him was the exact opposite of Yu Yinliang's. This was understandable. Since ancient times, the rule in the Chinese officialdom was that when a person leaves, the tea goes cold. Once Yu Yinliang was transferred, as his direct subordinate, Yu Haiping naturally didn't want him to get ahead. For the time being, since he had just taken office, he couldn't find any grand reason to deal with him, so he could only use the tactic of "beating the grass to scare the snake."

Su Jing glanced at him sideways. Her watery eyes behind the black-rimmed glasses were full of affection, and she asked with concern, "Why did you go to the Director's? I just saw the municipal committee's car arrive. Which leader came again?"

"Deputy Mayor Yu Haiping, who is in charge of coal work." He replied thoughtfully.

"Another Deputy Mayor Yu. That Deputy Mayor Yu just left, and the one who replaced him is another Deputy Mayor Yu." As an ordinary staff member, Su Jing hadn't seen Yu Haiping and thought he had the same surname as Yu Yinliang.

"Not the same surname." Zhao Desan explained, "The 'Yu' that is almost the same as the character 'gan' (to do/dry)."

This analogy he made made Su Jing burst into laughter, giggling, "Look at the analogy you made."

Zhao Desan saw her laughing uncontrollably, recited the word "gan" in his mind, and the scene of what he had done with this doll in the office half an hour ago appeared in his mind. He gave her a devilish smile and said, "What are you thinking about!"

Su Jing laughed uncontrollably for a while, then her smile slowly disappeared. She looked at him with a bit of sadness, her watery eyes full of tenderness, and said softly, "Are you really planning to take the civil service exam for the Provincial Construction Committee and not develop in the Coal Bureau anymore?"

"No." He nodded, "Now that the Deputy Mayor in charge of the coal industry has changed, think about it. As a capable general under Deputy Mayor Yu, can I still have a foothold in Yuyang City in the future? Yu Haiping will definitely try to insert his cronies into important positions."

"What you said is also true, but can you have a foothold if you go to the Provincial Construction Committee? The relationships in the province are much more complicated than in Yuyang City." Su Jing warned.

Zhao Desan sighed, took out a cigarette, lit it, took a puff, and said meaningfully, "Sigh, no matter how complicated the relationships in the province are, it's better than staying here after offending so many people. Changing to a new environment and not offending so many people is enough."

Su Jing lowered her long eyelashes and thought for a moment, then said, "Zhao Desan, if you really pass the civil service exam for the Construction Committee by then, you can ask my cousin for help with anything in the future. She can solve general difficulties. I'll give you her phone number." As she spoke, Su Jing took out her phone, found Su Qing's phone number, and read it to him once.

Zhao Desan laughed to himself, took out his phone, pretended to save it, and thanked her with a light smile, "Su Jing, thank you."

"It's nothing, who told us to work in the same office? And you are my leader. Besides, since you became Section Chief these two years, you haven't taken care of me less in work. Basically, you finished all the big and small tasks yourself, unlike Song Song Jihong before, who left everything for the two of us to do." Su Jing smiled and counted his good points.

Zhao Desan smiled and instructed her again, "Su Jing, don't tell anyone about me taking the civil service exam for now. If this reaches Director Zhang's ears, she will definitely misunderstand and think I don't want to work with her. Then I won't have an easy time in the days before the exam."

The reason Zhao Desan could make such a firm decision to take the exam for the staff position in the Planning Division of the Provincial Construction Committee was, on one hand, because he had Su Qing's full support behind him, and on the other hand, he could leave with peace of mind. He wasn't worried that after he left, there would be "settling of accounts after the autumn" to retaliate against Xinmao Mining, because he had already tied Zhang Ailing and Wang Wang Anguo into a dead knot in the previous matter, binding them to the same rope as Ma Lan. With private share agreements, they couldn't possibly lift a rock only to drop it on their own feet.

In order to leave the Coal Bureau safely and go to the Provincial Construction Committee with the halo of the reform achievements, during the period before going to the province to take the civil service exam in June, Zhao Desan began to be serious and careful in his work. He endured all the trivial and messy things without complaint, doing his best to satisfy Yu Haiping, who was now in charge of coal work, so that he couldn't find any faults with him. Step by step, he carefully spent the two months that made him the most nervous.
