Chapter 5477: What kind of act is this?

"Hello, who is this?" Zhao Desan asked with some impatience.

"Are you off work? I've already cooked dinner, just waiting for you to come back and eat." A woman's voice came from the phone. Without guessing, Zhao Desan knew the call was from Fan Binbin, who was sharing the apartment with him. Usually, Zhao Desan would be very happy to receive this call, but at this critical juncture, he had no interest at all and said irritably: "I'm busy, I won't eat, you eat by yourself, goodbye!" Saying this, he hung up the phone.

Because he was distracted by the phone call, when he looked toward the Audi car again, he found that the woman who looked very familiar had already disappeared into the dimness of the residential area, leaving only the Audi car parked there. He glanced at the license plate of the Audi car inadvertently and couldn't help but narrow his eyes. Why did this license plate look more and more familiar? He rubbed his chin and pondered in his mind, but unfortunately, after racking his brains for a long time, he couldn't remember where he had seen this car.

*Damn it, I don't believe you won't come out! * Zhao Desan's stubbornness flared up again. Since he hadn't been able to see the woman's face clearly, he decided to just wait here with the attitude of waiting for a rabbit to hit a tree, not believing she wouldn't come out! Thinking this, he lit a cigarette, leaned his body against the back of the seat again, and set up the posture of grinding an iron rod into a needle.

But to Zhao Desan's great disappointment, not long after, his phone rang again. This time the call wasn't from Fan Binbin, but from Sister Wu, whom he hadn't been in contact with for a long time. Sister Wu went straight to the point on the phone, saying that there was a dinner party tonight and Mayor Zhang wanted him to attend as well.

*Damn! * Although he was one hundred percent unwilling, it was a kind invitation from the dignified Mayor. If he didn't give face, he wouldn't be giving that old guy any face at all. His position as acting secretary had just been secured, and at this juncture, the person he couldn't afford to offend the most was Mayor Zhang. Moreover, that old guy seemed to have already regarded him as one of his own, so he couldn't not go. So Zhao Desan reluctantly agreed to Wu Min, shook his head helplessly, temporarily gave up the idea of continuing to wait, and drove to the hotel where they were eating.

Zhang Dewang had originally wanted to invite Wu Min, the vice mayor he had promoted himself, to dinner alone, to lay a foundation of connections for himself before the year-end reshuffle. But this old guy was actually still a bit worried about Zhao Desan, so he wanted to take this dinner opportunity to give him a good warning.

After Zhao Desan arrived at the restaurant, he found that there were only Mayor Zhang and Sister Wu in the large private room. A table full of sumptuous food had already been set, and two bottles of Wuliangye were also placed there. Seeing Zhao Desan arrive, Mayor Zhang pointed to a chair very enthusiastically and said with a chuckle: "Xiao Zhao is here, sit down quickly. Vice Mayor Wu and I were just waiting for you."

Zhao Desan glanced at Sister Wu from the corner of his eye, nodded to Mayor Zhang with a sheepish smile, greeted the two leaders, and pulled out a chair to sit down. At the same time, he began to feel confused. He had thought there would be many people attending, but in the end, there were only three people including him. He didn't know what kind of act this old guy was putting on with this dinner tonight.

In this kind of informal dinner with only three people, this was the first time Zhao Desan had sat with Mayor Zhang. Looking at Zhang Dewang in front of him, his smiling face revealed a scholarly aura as always. His plump body sat straight, and a pair of deep triangular eyes were hidden behind two gleaming lenses, making it difficult for people to distinguish his joy or anger from his gaze. The old guy in front of him was just an ordinary old man, not the high-ranking mayor of a city. ===== CHAPTER 5478 =====
