Chapter 526

From the conversation, Su Qing and Zhao Desan heard that it should be his wife calling, so they smiled at each other and quieted down to wait for him to finish the call.

After finishing his wife's call, he took the phone away from his ear, and Director Yang smiled apologetically: "Minister Su, I'm really sorry, my wife called and urged me to go back early. I'm afraid I can't accompany you and Comrade Xiao Zhao to sing."

Su Qing had long heard that this Director Yang was henpecked, greedy for money but not for sex, so she went with the flow and praised him: "Director Yang, there are not many men like you who listen to their wives and are so loyal to their wives." As she spoke, she turned to Zhao Desan and said: "Comrade Xiao Zhao, learn more from Director Yang in the future. After you get married, you must be as good to your wife as Director Yang, do you know?"

Zhao Desan nodded repeatedly and said with a smile: "Know, know."

"Minister Su, you are damaging me. It's not good to be watched too tightly by your wife, there is no freedom at all. Look, I can't accompany you to sing today, I really feel sorry for it." After a self-deprecating remark, Director Yang stood up and said: "Minister Su, let's stop here today?"

"Alright, then let's disperse." Su Qing said.

As a subordinate cadre, although Su Qing invited him to dinner, Director Yang still called the waiter to pay the bill. Zhao Desan saw this and quickly rushed to pay the money.

Coming out of the restaurant, after drinking some wine, the summer night breeze blew, and people felt incomparably refreshed and comfortable. Director Yang's car was with Su Qing's. Walking to the car, while waiting for him to open the door and get in, Zhao Desan took out the 20,000 yuan he withdrew from his pocket and stuffed it into his arms.

As the Director of the Examination Office of the Provincial Personnel Department, he had long been accustomed to this behavior. But after all, the dignified Minister of the Organization Department of the Provincial Committee, Su Qing, was watching from the side, which made him unable to accept the money as calmly as before. He quickly held it and stuffed it into Zhao Desan's hand while saying: "Comrade Xiao Zhao, look what you are doing, put it away quickly."

Zhao Desan pushed and dodged while saying: "Director Yang, it's just a small token, don't push it."

Su Qing stood up at this time and said: "Old Yang, it's a small token from my cousin, just accept it, don't push it back and forth, it's not good if someone sees it."

Once the leader spoke, Old Yang could only stuff the 20,000 yuan into his arms and said to her with a respectful expression: "Since Minister Su has spoken, then I will accept it. Minister Su, don't worry, I will keep in mind what you said. Comrade Xiao Zhao, don't have any psychological burden, just take the exam the day after tomorrow, don't worry about the results."

Zhao Desan nodded respectfully with a smile, helped him hold the car door, and sent her into the car.

"Old Yang, you've had some wine, drive slowly." Su Qing said with a smile.

Director Yang closed the car door and said politely: "Thank you, Minister Su, for your concern, then I'll go first."

Su Qing nodded, watched him drive away with Zhao Desan, and returned to her car.

As soon as Su Qing started the car, Zhao Desan asked her: "Sister Su, where are we going next?"

"Going home." Su Qing said, "Do you have anything else to do?"

"No." He said.

"Sister thought you had something to do? If there's nothing, let's go home." Su Qing smiled faintly.

"Hmm." He nodded. Asking like that just now was actually just to confirm whether Su Qing really wanted to take him back to her house to stay. Although she lived alone and lived in such a big villa, after all, she was a big cadre in the province, and he was a nobody. It was fine to have some relationship and passion with her, but to live with her all of a sudden, it was inevitable that he would be a little nervous.

The car drove out of the parking lot, turned onto the road, and drove home. Along the way, looking at the flashing neon lights on both sides of the street, Xijing City seen from the windshield looked colorful, and people were coming and going on the street, which was completely different from the coldness of Yuyang City at night, looking particularly prosperous and lively.

Su Qing thought of his act of giving money to the Director of the Examination Office of the Personnel Department just now. She hadn't hinted at him, so she couldn't help but look at this kid with admiration, glanced at him sideways and said: "Comrade Xiao Zhao, you guy is very smart, you gave a gift to Old Yang the first time you met, you really know how to do things."

"Sister Su, are you praising me or scolding me." He smiled faintly, "I think it's inappropriate not to give a gift when meeting Director Yang for the first time. Did I do something wrong?"

"No, sister is praising you, saying that your brain is smart and you know how to do things. From this small matter, sister can see that you will definitely have a future in the province. If you know how to do things yourself, you don't need sister to worry about everything for you." Su Qing smiled faintly. Calling him brother, the words revealed her concern for him, as if she really wanted to be his cousin.

So he joked and said: "Sister Su, how did you think of saying that I am your distant relative, your cousin, hehe."

Su Jing glanced at him sideways and smiled faintly: "How else can I say it if I don't say it like that? People who know me in the province know that I have no relatives in the province. Do you want me to say you are my little lover?"

He smiled, and after a while said: "Actually, Sister Su, to be honest, even if you didn't invite Director Yang to dinner today and didn't tell him about my exam, I would definitely be able to enter the interview stage."

Su Qing smiled faintly with some disdain and said: "Comrade Xiao Zhao, even if you answer all the questions correctly the day after tomorrow and get the first place in the exam, you may not necessarily enter the interview stage. If I don't give Old Yang a reminder, you may be brushed down no matter how good your results are, and be replaced by others. Many people with relationships and backgrounds are squeezing their heads to get into the civil service recruitment of provincial directly affiliated units. It's not as simple as you think."

Su Qing's meaningful words made him understand the current situation of Chinese society again. From top to bottom, it had already been eroded into all walks of life, and it made him understand that it was not easy to mix in the Chinese officialdom and want to have a foothold and develop. As the saying goes, "leaning against a big tree is good for shade." Su Qing, the dignified Minister of the Organization Department of the Provincial Committee, could say these words to him bluntly, which also made him feel warm care from this woman in her forties. So he looked at Su Qing, who was driving seriously, with eyes full of emotion, and said affectionately: "Sister Su, you are really good to me."

Su Qing turned her face and saw his serious look, smiled faintly, and revealed a mouthful of white teeth: "Just care more about your Sister Su in the future. As long as you are good to sister, sister will be better to you."

"I will definitely be good to Sister Su." He looked at her sincerely, looking like he was making a vow, very serious.

Su Qing took her right hand off the gear lever, reached out and patted his face gently, saying: "That's good."

After a while, the car drove to the Jinxiu Sunshine Community in the suburbs of Xijing City. He had been here last time. Because it was located in the suburbs, the environment at night was even quieter. When the car arrived at the community gate, the security guard on duty saluted and opened the railing to let Su Qing's car in.

The environment in the villa area at night was really too quiet. Some scattered light radiated from several detached villas, making it look particularly cold. Occasionally, a pet dog from a resident's house let out a few barks.

Su Qing drove the car to the front of the villa and said: "Here."

"Sister Su, I've been to your house, did you forget?" He smiled faintly while getting off the car and said.

Su Qing said "oh," smiled apologetically: "Look at sister's memory, there are too many things usually, and the memory is too poor."
