Chapter 678: See it through to the end

Perhaps Su Qing was busy. After waiting for about five minutes, Zhao Desan received her text message: "If your colleagues suggested that you treat them to a meal, it wouldn't be good if you didn't. People will think you're stingy. Since that's the case, then go. Just be careful not to drink too much; otherwise, if you come back drunk at night, you won't be able to handle other things."

Zhao Desan naturally understood the "other things" mentioned in this message better than anyone else; wasn't it just paying the "public grain"? As long as Sister Su agreed, he wouldn't be in a dilemma in front of his colleagues. He happily replied to Sister Su with a message saying he understood, then stood up and went out of the bathroom.

When he returned to the Planning Division office, Zheng Ru, Xia Jian, and the others had already packed their bags and were waiting for him. "Zhao Desan, how is it? Are you planning to treat us tonight?" Zheng Ru asked him.

"That's right, brother, be quick. If you're not treating, I'm going straight home." Xia Jian said deliberately.

"Treat, of course I'm treating. It's my first day of work today, no matter what, I have to treat everyone to a little drink." After receiving authorization from Sister Su, Zhao Desan appeared particularly generous and said with a smile.

Zheng Ru smiled sweetly and said: "Then you guys pack your things first, I'll go find a car." Saying this, she went out without waiting for Zhao Desan to ask.

Xia Jian slung his leather bag over his shoulder, came up, and leaned against Zhao Desan's desk, saying: "Comrade Xiao Zhao, we must drink until we're drunk tonight."

"No problem, since Brother Xia is giving me such face, I will definitely see it through to the end." Zhao Desan was incomparably confident in his drinking capacity, so Xia Jian's words didn't count for anything to him.

Comrade Xiao Zhao on the side suddenly remembered something. While packing his things, he turned his face and reminded: "Comrade Xiao Zhao, do you want to invite our Division Chief Lan?"

Comrade Xiao Zhao's attentiveness woke Zhao Desan up. He thought that since today was a welcome meal for his Planning Division colleagues, it was only natural to tell Division Chief Lan. "Should I call Division Chief Lan?" He asked Xia Jian for advice with some misgivings.

"Forget it, why call her when the few of us are going to eat? If she goes, there won't be any atmosphere. Besides, even if you call her, she won't go." Xia Jian shook his head. As a division chief, Lan Mei didn't seem to have won the hearts of her subordinates at all.

"I'd better call her?" Zhao Desan said out of caution, "I'll invite Division Chief Lan, as for whether she goes or not, that's another matter."

Just as they were talking, Zheng Ru returned and asked them: "What's wrong? Who else do you want to invite?"

"Comrade Xiao Zhao still wants to invite Division Chief Lan." Xia Jian said with some impatience.

"Don't invite her. If you invite her, the few of us won't go." Zheng Ru became a bit angry when she heard this.

"Our Planning Division is going to eat, wouldn't it be unreasonable not to invite Division Chief Lan?" Zhao Desan said, still feeling it was better to call Division Chief Lan.

"What's unreasonable about it? You're treating the few of us today. Besides, even if you invite her, she definitely won't go. Alright, stop talking, it's already off work, hurry up and go." Zheng Ru looked at her watch and urged.

In desperation, Zhao Desan gave up the idea of inviting Division Chief Lan to dinner together. He followed the three of them out of the Planning Division office. When the four of them passed by Division Chief Lan's office door, Zhao Desan deliberately looked inside sneakily. Lan Mei was sitting in front of her desk, tidying her leather bag unhurriedly. Hearing the clattering footsteps in front of the office door, she raised her head to look. Upon looking, her gaze collided squarely with Zhao Desan's sneaky gaze. Startled, Zhao Desan immediately turned his face and sullenly quickened his pace to flash past.

The three big men followed behind Zheng Ru out of the office building and were led directly to Director Zheng's official car. "Get in." Zheng Ru took out the car keys and pressed them, and the car beeped twice to unlock.

"Isn't this your dad's car?" Xia Jian asked.

"I just borrowed it." Zheng Ru said, "Hurry up and get in."

Thus, the four of them cat-crawled into the car, and Zheng Ru drove the car out of the Construction Committee.

"Comrade Xiao Zhao, Brother Comrade Xiao Zhao and I really benefited from your light today, we all got to sit in the Director's official car." Xia Jian, because of his seniority, was sitting in the front passenger seat, turned back, and said with a smile.

"How is it benefiting from my light? It's benefiting from Zheng Ru's light." Zhao Desan said with a light smile.

"That's also true, it's benefiting from your and Xiao Zheng's light." Xia Jian immediately said with a smile.
