Chapter 5368

"District Mayor Zhao, it... it's nothing, it's just about the team adjustment. I know you don't quite agree with the meaning of Secretary Zhang and the others..." Xiao Chuanguo accompanied with a smiling face and stammered out his inner thoughts.

However, before he could continue, Zhao Desan interrupted him and chuckled, "Comrade Chuanguo, you think too much. I do have some discrepancies with the views of Secretary Zhang and the others, but it's not that I don't agree with you. It's just that personnel adjustment is related to the stability of the team, so it can't be too rash. Do you think I intentionally don't want you to go up?" Zhao Desan walked toward his boss chair while tilting his head and looking at Xiao Chuanguo, who was sitting on the sofa with an awkward expression, with a smile. Sure enough, as expected, this guy really came for this matter.

"Hehe." Xiao Chuanguo smiled awkwardly, touched his nose, and then stammered, "District Mayor Zhao, that... I haven't been in the CPPCC for a short time. Although I haven't had any particularly outstanding achievements in these years, I haven't brought any trouble to the CPPCC either. I have always been closely surrounding the district party committee and district government headed by you..."

Before Xiao Chuanguo could finish speaking again, Zhao Desan interrupted him again and said, "Comrade Chuanguo, I am not the number one of the district party committee and district government. You should be surrounding the district party committee and district government headed by Secretary Zhang. Continue..." As he spoke, Zhao Desan sat down on the boss chair, lit a cigarette, and put on an interested look, waiting for Xiao Chuanguo to continue.

Xiao Chuanguo smiled awkwardly and continued, "If I can't go up this time, I might not have any chance in the future. District Mayor Zhao, you have to help me. That... I have also been persuading Chairman Li not to always compete with you. He is too... impulsive."

Damn! So I have to thank you for helping me! Zhao Desan chuckled when he heard this guy shamelessly say he helped him, and said, "Let's talk about things as they are, don't talk about Chairman Li. Comrade Chuanguo, to be honest, I don't have any doubts about your work ability, but this personnel adjustment is the top priority in the district during this period. In the past two years, the country has had very strict requirements for this work. The leaders of the district look highly of you, but they can't make a decision so rashly. It's better to follow the personnel system and prescribed procedures, so it will be convincing. Don't you think so?"

Xiao Chuanguo was stunned, hurriedly nodded with a smile, and said, "Yes, yes, District Mayor Zhao, you are right." Xiao Chuanguo seemed to hear another layer of meaning from Zhao Desan's words. In fact, he didn't intentionally want to keep him in the position of vice chairman, but just didn't want to follow Secretary Zhang's meaning and make a decision so rashly.

"That, Comrade Chuanguo, you don't have to always take this matter to heart and think too much. Your most important thing at present is to do your own work well, and the district will see it. As for the final result, I can't tell you clearly now." Zhao Desan left a glimmer of hope for Xiao Chuanguo, and then gave him a not-so-small warning.

Hearing Zhao Desan say this, Xiao Chuanguo was stunned again, then suddenly stood up, walked to Zhao Desan's desk with a full face of smiles, and took out a palm-sized box from behind him like a magic trick, placed it on Zhao Desan's desk, pushed it gently in front of him, and said with a fawning smile, "This is a watch I brought back from Switzerland when I went to investigate abroad last time. It is original imported, and it is also my little heart. I hope District Mayor Zhao will accept it."

The same old trick! In this day and age, in order to avoid people's eyes and ears, gift-giving in officialdom has changed from giving RMB to gifts that are both pocket-sized, convenient, and high-end and expensive. Zhao Desan glanced at the watch box placed in front of him. Indeed, the box looked very exquisite, and it was full of pure English letters. One look and he knew it was a high-end product with a high price.

Zhao Desan raised his eyelids and glanced at Xiao Chuanguo, who was full of expectation, pushed the watch box forward again, and said with a smile, "Comrade Chuanguo, what are you doing? Look, don't I have a watch?" As he spoke, he raised his wrist and showed the Longines watch that Ma Lan had given him. Although it might not be as good as the watch in the box on the desk, it was of extraordinary significance to Zhao Desan.

Xiao Chuanguo glanced at the watch on Zhao Desan's wrist and said with a fawning smile, "District Mayor Zhao, to be honest, your watch is a bit unworthy of your status. My watch is more suitable for you to wear. The quality of this original watch is very good, the time never deviates, and it is waterproof. You don't need to take it off when taking a bath or sauna in the future."

"Hehe, the quality of my watch is also quite good." Zhao Desan smiled, and then continued, "Comrade Chuanguo, you are making me make a mistake. You should take this thing back. I believe that as long as you perform well during this period, the result should satisfy you. After all, the leaders of the district party committee team still look highly of you."
