Chapter 5407

~8 min read 1,459 words

After lingering in the room for more than half an hour, it was already twelve o'clock at noon. Zhao Desan's stomach was already growling and protesting, so he suggested eating something first. After eating, Zhao Desan drove back to the district directly.

Arriving at the door of his office, just as Zhao Desan took out the key and was about to open the door, he found that the door was actually ajar. He couldn't help but feel a burst of doubt in his heart and pushed the door open gently. When the door was pushed open, he was taken aback. He saw Wu Jie sitting at his desk, lowering her eyebrows and thinking about something.

"I was wondering why the door was open. It turned out to be Wu Jie. No, it's Mayor Wu who came." Zhao Desan recalled yesterday's encounter, and his words couldn't help but carry a hint of intrigue.

Seeing Zhao Desan return, Wu Min sat up straight and asked with a gentle smile: "Comrade Xiao Zhao, where did you go this morning?"

"Went out to handle some things." Zhao Desan naturally couldn't tell her that he was with another woman, so he lied casually, put his briefcase on the desk, quickly poured a cup of tea for Wu Jie, and sat down in the chair opposite her.

Wu Min smiled slightly and asked: "Then why didn't you answer my phone calls all morning?"

"Ah?" Hearing Wu Jie say this, Zhao Desan felt a bit puzzled. He quickly took out his phone and pressed it a few times. Seeing the screen was black, he realized that the phone was out of power, so he smiled helplessly: "The phone is out of power."

"I was wondering." Wu Min smiled slightly.

Zhao Desan asked her: "Mayor Wu, you came to visit today, what's the matter?"

Wu Min rolled her eyes at him and said: "There are no outsiders here, why are you still being polite?"

Zhao Desan laughed and said: "Wu Jie came to the district suddenly from so far away, are you here to inspect work or?"

"I've been waiting for you in your office for so long, what do you think I'm here for?" Wu Min asked back angrily.

Zhao Desan shook his head with a smile and said: "How would I know? Wu Jie's business is so busy, and I didn't answer several calls yesterday. Who knows what you are here for."

Listening to Zhao Desan's words, which seemed to carry a sense of anger, Wu Min smiled and said: "Are you angry because I didn't answer your phone yesterday?"

"How would I dare to be angry with the Deputy Mayor?" Zhao Desan said in a strange tone, clearly carrying a trace of resentment, and lit a cigarette to smoke.

Wu Min could see that this guy was angry, so she smiled and explained: "Sister had a social engagement last night and it wasn't convenient to answer your phone. Didn't I come to find you specifically today?"

"Seriously, Wu Jie, you came from so far away today, is it because of work or?" Zhao Desan asked seriously.

Seeing his serious appearance, Wu Min said seriously: "It's about Secretary Zhang being interviewed."

"What does it have to do with me? You should go to Secretary Zhang, right?" Zhao Desan looked at her puzzled.

Wu Min laughed, looked at him with deep eyes, and said: "It has something to do with Secretary Zhang, and it also has something to do with you. I brought you good news today, and also bad news. Which one do you want to hear first? Good news or bad news?"

Hearing Wu Jie say this, Zhao Desan looked at her puzzled. After thinking for a while, he said: "Then let's hear the good news first."

"The good news is that the city has a big opinion about Secretary Zhang accepting the TV interview and being on TV. They might replace Secretary Zhang..." Wu Min said.

Hearing Wu Jie's words, he could already imagine what kind of benefits this would bring him, but he still pretended to be very puzzled and asked: "And it has nothing to do with me?"

"Hehe." Wu Min smiled lightly and added: "Haven't you thought about who will take over his position once Secretary Zhang is replaced? This candidate must be selected from the district. Judging from the current personnel configuration in the district, only you have this possibility. And Mayor Zhang also talked to me about this matter. His meaning is that he wants you to temporarily take over Secretary Zhang's position. After all, you have been in the district for a long time and know the work in the district quite well, so you can enter the role and start work as soon as possible. Isn't this good news for you?"

"Really?" Zhao Desan clearly didn't expect that he originally just wanted to use the power of the media to pull that old thing, Secretary Zhang, down, but he didn't expect it would also create conditions for him to take the position. This was a bit beyond his expectation.

Wu Min looked at Zhao Desan's surprised appearance and nodded very certainly: "Actually, at first, sister didn't advocate for you to take over. Sister thinks you are still too young and your work experience is a bit lacking. But sister doesn't trust the ability of others in the district, and Mayor Zhang also values you highly. I believe Secretary Yang should also agree."

This good news did make Zhao Desan feel overjoyed, but in his joy, don't forget there was bad news waiting for him, so he quickly asked: "Then what is the bad news?"

"The bad news is that the city might not let you be the district party secretary all at once. There will be a transition period. You will be appointed as the acting secretary first. However, the overall work in the district will still be your responsibility." Wu Min told Zhao Desan this so-called bad news unhurriedly.

After listening to Wu Jie's words, Zhao Desan's tense heartstrings relaxed. This wasn't bad news either. Acting secretary is acting secretary. Anyway, according to the practice, this "acting" word would be crossed out before long. Hearing the two pieces of news Wu Jie brought, Zhao Desan's heart began to imagine that he was about to control the entire Chanba District. By then, those old guys who had prejudices and opinions about him would have to kneel and lick him!

Seeing that although Zhao Desan tried his best to maintain a calm demeanor, his eyes already revealed the information, Wu Min smiled lightly and said: "Comrade Xiao Zhao, I arranged a dinner tonight, and Mayor Zhang will also attend. You come over then."

Zhao Desan understood Wu Jie's painstaking efforts. He didn't ask anything else and nodded.

Wu Min had been sitting in Zhao Desan's office for so long, and what should be said had already been told to him, so she raised her wrist to look at her watch and said: "Alright, I've delayed you for so long here. There is a meeting in the municipal government in the afternoon, I have to go." As she spoke, she stood up from Zhao Desan's desk.

"Then I'll see you off." Zhao Desan quickly followed Wu Min, looking at Wu Min's figure, which was still so plump and graceful in a beige windbreaker. But thinking of the situation where her good figure was pressed under that old thing, Mayor Zhang, a burst of jealousy surged in his heart. However, he knew he couldn't blame Wu Jie. After all, as a woman, for her to survive in the city full of intrigue, it was impossible not to pay something.

In the officialdom, one is involuntary. Over the years, he had also realized the meaning of this sentence. In this special ecological environment, sometimes one has to do something against one's will, otherwise, one cannot survive.

Zhao Desan sent Wu Jie to the entrance of the district government, watched her get into the car, waved at her with a smile, and watched her car drive into the traffic until it disappeared at the end of his sight. Finally, he couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart and waved his fist happily.

After work in the afternoon, Zhao Desan went to the city for the appointment as promised. In a luxurious private room of a high-end restaurant, he learned that there were only a few people at the dinner that night. To be precise, there were only four people in total. Besides himself and Wu Min, the remaining two were Mayor Zhang Dewang and his old acquaintance, Minister of the Municipal Organization Department Zhao Changtian.
