Chapter 623

"You came here for dinner last night?" Zheng Ru arched her willow-leaf brows slightly, thinking that she also invited the Construction Committee people to eat here last night, so why didn't she see him?

"Yeah, what's wrong?" Zheng Ru's reaction made him feel a little strange, as if she was very surprised that he came here for dinner.

"No... nothing, just asking casually." Zheng Ru said evasively. The recruitment announcement of the Construction Committee Planning Department clearly stated that it only recruited men. As a girl, she was able to enter the Construction Committee smoothly only through her father's relationship. It was not a particularly glorious thing, and inviting the Construction Committee people to dinner by relying on her father's relationship was something she felt embarrassed to say, so she didn't say that she also ate here last night.

The waiter had already taken the menu and was waiting for them to order. Zhao Desan didn't think much about her strange reaction and pushed the menu to her to order. Zheng Ru picked up the menu and looked at it, ordered two dishes casually, and handed it to Zhao Desan. He took the menu and added five or six dishes before stopping. Zhao Desan, who was usually a little stingy with himself, appeared very generous today, as if he didn't feel sorry for the little RMB in his pocket at all.

After ordering, Zheng Ru asked him: "Zhao Desan, which unit did you say you applied for last time? I forgot. How is it now? Did you go for the interview?"

This question was a bit sensitive. Before he successfully entered the Construction Committee to work, this was still a secret, so he talked nonsense about it. As a result, after being entangled by his silver tongue for a while, Zheng Ru was dizzy by him, and simply stopped caring about these things, changed the topic, and chatted with him. He also began to ask about the Construction Committee sideways. Thinking of what happened last night, he asked casually: "Zheng Ru, is the Construction Committee Director a bald man?"

Bald man? Zheng Ru heard that her father had become a middle-aged wretched man in his mouth? In her anxiety, she widened her eyes and opened her mouth angrily, ready to say "That's my father!" But she immediately felt that saying so would clearly expose her identity, making people look down on her, so she suppressed her angry rage, looked at him with a fake smile, softened her tone, and changed that angry sentence to: "You... do you know him?"

"I don't know him, I just met him when I was paying the bill here last night. He asked the bar for an invoice. I heard people say he seems to be the Director of the Construction Committee." Zhao Desan felt that it was not good to deliberately slander the leaders in front of a colleague. In case she made a small report behind his back, and he had already offended Director Zheng, how would he face him in the future?

Zheng Ru lowered her head and said "Oh," not wanting to talk about this topic anymore. At this time, the dishes began to be served, so she picked up her chopsticks and said: "Eat quickly, I have to rush back to work before two o'clock."

Zhao Desan laughed "Hehe," and also picked up his chopsticks and ate absentmindedly, occasionally secretly glancing at Zheng Ru with a lustful gaze. When she lowered her head to eat, the two fleshy things in her collar hung down slightly, revealing a deep cleavage. The fiery spring scenery made his heart, which was in the age of youth burning, feel a little uncomfortable. He had no intention of eating at all, just wanting to develop further with her. After considering it again and again, he put down his chopsticks after eating for a while and said with a smile: "Zheng Ru, to be honest, I am really happy to know a friend like you in Xijing. Shall we drink some wine?" After saying that, he directly asked the waiter to bring wine without saying a word.

"I still have to go to work, so let's not drink," Zheng Ru put down her chopsticks and politely declined.

Zhao Desan was determined to use wine to settle her, so he didn't care about her feelings at all. While insisting on letting the waiter bring a bottle of local white wine with a relatively high alcohol content, he said to her with a heroic spirit: "No matter what, we have to drink two glasses today. Look, I only know you as a friend in Xijing. If you still treat me as a friend, don't refuse. Not much, just drink a little, it definitely won't delay your work."

Zheng Ru was really moved by his "enthusiasm," thinking that since this guy really treated her as a friend, drinking two glasses wouldn't cause any trouble. After hesitating for a moment, she said: "Then... then I will drink at most two glasses, I can't drink."

After sending the waiter out to get the wine, Zhao Desan smiled with ulterior motives: "Don't worry, I won't let you drink even if you want to drink more. You still have to go to work in the afternoon, and I definitely won't let you delay your work."

Since he said so, Zheng Ru had no guard against him. While eating dishes and chatting with him, Zhao Desan slowly led the topic to her regarding some of her work questions, wanting to inquire about the situation inside before going to the Construction Committee to work, so as to be psychologically prepared and be able to "fight with preparation."

"You seem to be a civil servant who applied for the Planning Department of the Construction Committee, right?" He slowly led the topic to her.

"Hmm, Planning Department." Zheng Ru said without any suspicion.

"How many people are there in the Planning Department? You said you started working on Monday, are you used to it?" He feigned concern and asked her.

"There are four people at present, three clerks, one director. It is said that one person is still missing, and it is estimated that a man will be matched," Zheng Ru said.

*That man is me, * a triumphant look flashed in Zhao Desan's eyes, and he secretly said. At this time, the waiter brought the wine. He ordered the waiter to open the wine, and he appeared very enthusiastic and poured two full glasses of wine, handed one to her, and then picked up the other, appearing very warm-hearted: "Zheng Ru, let's touch it, I am really happy to know you."

"Me too." Zheng Ru touched it with him without any guard in her heart, and drank half of it. Who knew that Zhao Desan drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and when he put down the glass, seeing that the wine in her glass had only gone down by half, he joked: "Are you raising fish or shrimp? Why is there still so much half a glass?"

"I can't drink, I'll be casual, you just drink well," Zheng Ru explained.

"How can this work? This first glass of wine must be finished no matter what. After this glass is finished, you can be casual next," Zhao Desan's words were also reasonable. Zheng Ru also understood the rules of the wine table. Since people invited her so enthusiastically, she couldn't give too little face, so she smiled helplessly, frowned and drank the remaining half glass of wine. After putting down the wine glass, she began to blush, and soon her beautiful oval face was flushed, which was very alluring, especially that small cherry mouth, which looked plump, fiery red, and extremely sexy.

After finishing the first glass of wine, Zhao Desan enthusiastically greeted her to eat more dishes, and deliberately said: "Eat more dishes, look how thin you are."
