Chapter 5478

This made Zhao Desan have to admire the different images that these big leaders displayed on different occasions. Often, it was the small figures with a little official position who liked to show off on such occasions, while these old officials who held great power and were experienced in the officialdom hid very deeply.

"Vice Mayor Wu, you are the vice mayor I strongly recommended. With you as a capable helper, I don't have to worry too much about the work in the city. During this period, you have shared a lot for me. I have always said I would invite you to dinner to enhance our revolutionary friendship, but I haven't been able to find the time. It just so happens that I'm free today. Xiao Zhao has also been working under you for a few years, and your private relationship is also good, so I called him over to sit and chat together." Zhang Dewang chuckled, breaking the somewhat calm atmosphere.

Seeing Zhang Dewang looking at him, Zhao Desan hurriedly put down the chopsticks in his hand, straightened his body, put his hands on his thighs, and stared closely at Mayor Zhang's deep-looking face, making a gesture of listening to teachings.

Seeing Zhao Desan sitting straight, Zhang Dewang pointed to the dishes on the table and said with a chuckle: "Xiao Zhao, why do you look a bit restrained today? This is not your personality. Eat, this dinner tonight is a private dinner between me, Vice Mayor Wu, and you. Don't be too restrained."

Zhao Desan hurriedly nodded with a smile. Wu Min could see that her beloved little man seemed a bit awkward sitting with Mayor Zhang on such a private occasion, so she coughed and said to him with a smile: "Xiao Zhao, Mayor Zhang values you so much. He even specifically asked me to call you over to accompany us for dinner tonight. I can't drink much, you accompany Mayor Zhang to drink a few more cups."

Under Wu Min's reminder, Zhao Desan hurriedly picked up a glass of wine, stood up, and presented the glass to Zhang Dewang with both hands, saying with a smiling face: "Mayor Zhang, I'll toast you."

"Hehe, sit down, sit down, don't be so polite. There are no outsiders tonight, let's just be casual." Zhang Dewang waved his hand with a chuckle, then picked up a glass of wine, signaled to Zhao Desan, and drank it down very readily.

Mayor Zhang put down the wine glass and felt in his coat pocket with both hands. Seeing this, Zhao Desan hurriedly took out his own cigarette, took one, handed it to the old guy respectfully, and lit it for him very diligently. The old guy took a puff and said to Wu Min with a smile: "Vice Mayor Wu, this soldier of yours is very good. You didn't misjudge the person. This young man Xiao Zhao is not only capable in work, but also very clever."

Wu Min glanced at Zhao Desan from the corner of her eye and said with a light smile: "Xiao Zhao is indeed quite good, he has a lot of drive in his work. Mayor Zhang recommended him to be the acting secretary this time, I believe he will definitely not let you down."

Zhang Dewang exhaled a puff of smoke, chuckled, and said: "I believe Vice Mayor Wu's words, and I believe my feelings even more. Recommending Xiao Zhao to be the acting secretary this time is definitely not wrong. Leave the work in the district to Xiao Zhao to handle, and I will save a lot of worry. Everyone contributes their strength to the development of Xijing City. We will be one family in the future, hehe..."

Zhang Dewang's set of polite words made Zhao Desan suddenly feel that the relationship between him and this old guy had narrowed a lot. The art of language is really subtle, especially for these old officials who have been in the officialdom for many years, the art of language is even more perfected. On this point, Zhao Desan knew that he was still far from reaching the level of this old guy.

Compared with the two mayors in front of him, he could only be considered a small pawn shouting and cheering, just a local warlord. But it cannot be denied that because of his participation in the incident of Mayor Zhang being secretly filmed, he finally gained the trust of this old guy, which made the power in his hands grow and stabilize.

Zhao Desan had a plan in his heart about how to get along with Mayor Zhang in the future, but he knew that he couldn't just pour his heart out to him because of a few words of praise from Zhang Dewang. Treating this old guy as a thick thigh worth relying on, although their interests were indeed consistent now, political allies could become enemies at any time, so he still had to be on guard against this old guy.

"Since Mayor Zhang appreciates me so much and can let me sit here and eat, I will definitely not live up to Mayor Zhang's expectations." Zhao Desan also said a polite word with a smile.

Zhang Dewang nodded with satisfaction and said euphemistically: "Now the party and government work of the entire Chanba District is all handled by you. The burden is heavier than before. You must put all your heart into your work. Don't be distracted by other things. Be humble and prudent, and strive to set a good example for the vast number of cadres and comrades in the district."

Zhao Desan was a smart man. How could he not hear the subtext of Mayor Zhang's words? Wasn't it just warning him not to continue investigating that matter! He nodded quickly and said: "I will definitely work hard to do a good job and not add trouble to you, Mayor Zhang."

"By the way, Xiao Zhao, how is the tourism city project invested and developed by the Lin's Construction Group going now? This project is a key project in the district. Is the progress going smoothly?" At this time, Wu Min, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke, leading the topic to the specific work of Chanba District.

"The progress is very smooth. Now the first phase of the project has been completed, and the subsequent engineering projects are also being carried out in an orderly manner..." Zhao Desan answered Sister Wu seriously.

Before Zhao Desan could continue, Mayor Zhang over there was not happy. He tapped his finger on the table and said with a chuckle: "We are eating here, are we holding an office meeting? Let's not talk about work today. It's rare to have time to have a private dinner together. Xiao Zhao, come, let's drink!" Zhang Dewang said as he took the initiative to pick up a glass of wine.

Zhao Desan hurriedly picked up the wine bottle to fill his glass, then picked up the wine glass with both hands, bent over to clink glasses with Mayor Zhang, raised his neck, and drank it down very heroically, while Zhang Dewang only took a symbolic sip.

Although the atmosphere of the three people was not as lively as usual, it was not cold. This old guy Zhang Dewang seemed to be in a particularly high mood tonight, raising his glass to drink with Zhao Desan from time to time, and Zhao Desan could only accompany him. But what made him feel very unbalanced was that after every clink of glasses, that old bastard Zhang Dewang only took a small sip. Although the leader only drank in small sips, he, as a subordinate, had to drink it all.
