Chapter 633: Seems a Bit Reluctant

"Brother Ma, don't worry, I know, I won't talk nonsense." Zhao Desan promised, "Let's go back, don't let Director Zheng have any suspicions."

Ma Debang nodded and ordered, "Alright, I'll go in first, you come in later." After speaking, he returned first. Zhao Desan waited for a while in the restroom before returning to the private room.

As soon as he reached the door, he suddenly heard a woman's voice in the private room. The voice was so sweet that he immediately guessed her appearance and figure, so he pushed open the door impatiently.

The moment the door was pushed open, he was surprised, frowned slightly, his mouth opened slightly, and he couldn't believe his eyes. How... how could Zheng Ru be in the private room?

The two of them already knew each other, and yesterday, in order to vent his desire, Zhao Desan had specifically and painstakingly invited her to dinner. The two of them looked at each other, their eyes meeting, which made his face feel hot. He was stunned for a moment, then walked over, pulled out a chair, and sat down, pretending to be calm.

"Liu... Zhao Desan?" Zheng Ru called his name in confusion, and for a moment, she was confused. How could he be eating with her father here?

Su Qing, Zheng Tulu, and Ma Debang were also a bit surprised, and at the same time, they looked at the two of them with confusion.

"Ruru, do you know Comrade Xiao Zhao?" Zheng Tulu asked her first.

"I know, how could I not know." Zheng Ru said in a frivolous tone, as if she was still angry about the message with misunderstanding meaning that Zhao Desan gave her yesterday.

Damn, I was still saying in front of her yesterday that there was a bald donkey in the Construction Committee. Who knew it was her father. Zhao Desan was embarrassed for a moment and wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into. He smiled awkwardly and said, "I know... Zheng Ru and I took the exam in the same examination room, hehe."

"That's really a coincidence." A look of pleasant surprise appeared on Zheng Tulu's flushed face. He didn't expect his daughter to know Minister Su's cousin, which made it even closer. "I and your Uncle Ma happened to invite your Aunt Su to dinner today. I didn't expect you to know Minister Su's cousin Comrade Xiao Zhao, Ruru."

Zheng Ru stood beside Old Zheng and looked at Zhao Desan with a frivolous look. That look made him hard to handle for a moment, and he didn't dare to meet it. His eyes were dodging, and for a moment, he felt restless, like an ant on a hot pan, and was afraid that Su would misunderstand, so he quickly smiled and said calmly, "I... I really didn't expect to run into you here."

"Yes, I really didn't expect it." Zheng Ru looked at him with a strange look, with a weird, inscrutable smile on her face, and said while pulling out a chair beside Zheng Tulu and sitting down. "Dad, look, since everyone is so destined, I'll accompany you, Aunt Su, and Uncle Ma for a while."

"Good, good, good. This is your first time seeing Minister Su today, so you must toast Minister Su." Zheng Tulu wanted his daughter to take this opportunity to climb Su Qing's relationship, so he was especially enthusiastic and poured a glass of wine for Zheng Ru.

"Minister Su, I knew Zhao Desan when I took the exam. I didn't expect him to be your cousin." As she spoke, she looked at Zhao Desan and picked up the wine glass to toast Su Qing.

Su Qing smiled and picked up the teacup, "I can't drink wine, so I'll replace the wine with tea."

"It's fine, Minister Su, you can do as you please." Zheng Ru clinked glasses with her generously and drank the wine in one gulp very heroically.

Su Qing took a sip of tea, put down the cup, and said, "Xiao Zheng has a good capacity for alcohol."

Zheng Tulu immediately said, "She can't drink either. Today she saw you, Minister Su, so no matter what, she has to toast you."

After drinking, Zheng Ru returned to her seat, and everyone started chatting again. Su Qing asked where she worked, and after learning that she worked at the Construction Committee, she smiled without a word. This was also reasonable. Now in officialdom, if the father is the top leader, the children will definitely arrange to enter their own unit to facilitate future promotion. Zhao Desan, on the other hand, had been like a frosted eggplant since Zheng Ru unexpectedly appeared on this occasion, silent. He only occasionally echoed and laughed when everyone was talking, only wanting this dinner to end quickly, because he clearly felt that Su Qing was obviously a bit unhappy after Zheng Ru appeared. What was even more fatal was that Zheng Ru didn't avoid everyone's eyes on this occasion, and always looked at him with that look that didn't know whether it was disdain or ambiguity, which made him confused and didn't know how to deal with this occasion.

Fortunately, after a bottle of wine was finished, Ma Debang and Zheng Tulu were almost there, and no one said they would drink anymore. Su Qing might have noticed that Zhao Desan's performance in the second half was abnormal, so after drinking, she looked at the Longines watch on her wrist with ulterior motives and said, "Yo, it's so late. Old Zheng, Old Ma, don't you have a half-day meeting at the Provincial Committee tomorrow? Shall we disperse?"
