Chapter 1033

After scolding him for a full five or six minutes, Lan Mei finally cooled down a bit. She glared at him fiercely, turned, walked to Zhao Desan's desk, opened the drawer, took the materials, and walked out of the Planning Division office.

After Lan Mei left, the Planning Division was silent, her stern voice seemingly still echoing faintly. Xia Jian sat there even more embarrassed, lowering his head, his face green. The proud spirit of acting like a leader just now had disappeared without a trace.

Lan Mei returned to her office with her anger still not dissipated, sat down, and while tidying up the materials she got from Zhao Desan, she thought back to the words Xia Jian said behind her back just now and felt angry. If Xia Jian had only said she valued Zhao Desan, that would be one thing, but between the lines, there was another meaning, as if he felt there was some unclear relationship between her and Zhao Desan. Even if there was such a relationship, Lan Mei didn't want others to gossip behind her back. However, after this time, Lan Mei had learned her lesson. She knew that her usual interactions with Zhao Desan were indeed a bit too close, and there were always people watching her. It must have been that Xia Jian saw something wrong. Lan Mei felt she must restrain herself in the future and try to keep some distance from Zhao Desan. It wasn't for herself; as a woman, wanting to go further after reaching the position of Planning Division Chief was almost impossible without some connections. Plus, having a grudge with Zheng Tulu, he certainly wouldn't let her go further. She didn't care, but she didn't want to affect Zhao Desan's future official career. He was a rare talent in the officialdom she had seen in so many years, and also the only man she had felt moved by in so many years. But due to the gap between them, Lan Mei had no extravagant hopes for Zhao Desan. The only extravagant hope was that he could exert his talent at the Construction Committee. Such talent was truly rare and couldn't be buried.

When the report materials were tidied up, it was almost ten o'clock, so Lan Mei immediately hugged a stack of report materials and hurried upstairs to the conference room.

Personnel from all departments in the conference room had already arrived. Lan Mei realized she was the last one to enter, so she lowered her head and found an empty seat to sit down.

"Alright, leaders of all departments have arrived, now let's hold this year's year-end work summary meeting," Zheng Tulu said, extinguishing his cigarette butt. "There's one week left until the New Year, and our unit will be on holiday soon. It's necessary to hold a year-end work summary meeting to let leaders of all departments summarize the annual work of their departments. Which department shall we start with?" Zheng Tulu's gaze swept around and said: "Let the Audit Division speak first."

So the Audit Division Chief sitting in the first seat on the left began to report on the work. From the Audit Division, they took turns to the right. After each department finished reporting, Zheng Tulu had to make a brief evaluation. Finally, it was the Planning Division's turn. Perhaps because Lan Mei met Zheng Tulu in the morning and learned about this meeting in advance, or perhaps because Lan Mei was usually serious and responsible in her work, she brought a lot of materials for this meeting, prepared very fully, and made a detailed summary statement of the year's work in an orderly manner. ===== CHAPTER 1034 =====
