Zhao De walked out of the office with a restless mood.

Tomorrow the unit would be on holiday, and Lan Mei required everyone in the Planning Division to write a mid-year work summary. To curry favor with Director Lan, the work summary that was supposed to be handed in tomorrow morning was rushed by Xia Jian at noon. Taking advantage of Zhao De's injury at home, he wanted to perform in front of Director Lan. Who knew that when he pushed the door open and came in, he actually saw a scene that made him feel very surprised. He thought to himself that Director Lan had been valuing and appreciating Zhao De these days; it turned out Director Lan actually had a thing with that kid Zhao De, getting together behind the scenes. This was good; it could be considered an unexpected harvest.

"Xiao Xia, what's the matter?" Lan Mei calmed her expression and asked, leaning on the chair.

Xia Jian looked at her with a strange gaze and said with a fawning smile: "Director Lan, my work summary is written; I'm here for you to take a look." As he spoke, he walked up, bent over slightly, and handed over his work summary with both hands.

Lan Mei raised her body, reached out to take it, and said: "It's written quite fast." As she spoke, she flipped through it a few times, placed it on the table, and said: "Alright, you go first; I'll take a slow look."

"Okay, then I won't disturb you, Director Lan." Xia Jian retreated to the door respectfully. When he pulled the door shut, he raised his eyes and looked at her cunningly, closing the door.

As soon as Xia Jian returned to the office, he closed the door from the inside. Before he could sit down, he couldn't control his mouth and said with a mysterious expression: "Comrade Xiao Zhao, Xiao Zheng, guess what I just saw in Director Lan's office?"

Comrade Xiao Zhao and Zheng Ru turned their heads to look at Xia Jian at the same time.

Xia Jian looked at them mysteriously, turned around vigilantly to lock the office door from the inside, walked over, sat down, and said in a mysterious, low voice: "I just saw Comrade Xiao Zhao grab Director Lan's hand; the two looked very intimate, and the relationship was very close."

Comrade Xiao Zhao was simply stunned, furrowed his brows, and said in a low voice: "Brother Xia, no way? You must not talk nonsense about these things."

Zheng Ru also looked at him with a suspicious gaze and said: "It's best not to talk nonsense without proof. Do you know this is called slander?"

Xia Jian saw that neither of them believed him, raised his eyebrows, and said anxiously: "Really, what I said is true. I just went to hand in the work summary to Director Lan. As soon as the door was pushed open, I saw Zhao De grabbing Director Lan's hand. The two were very intimate and definitely had a thing. That was what I saw with my own eyes; it's absolutely not slander."

"Xia Jian, even if you lie, draft it a bit. Zhao De is sick at home. You said you saw him in Director Lan's office; aren't you talking in your sleep in broad daylight?" Zheng Ru cast a glance at him, not believing his words at all.

Xia Jian originally wanted to use this unexpected harvest to stink up Zhao De's impression in others' eyes, but people didn't believe what he said. He appeared very anxious and said: "Xiao Zheng, you don't know, Zhao De just came to the unit just now and left again. I saw it clearly."

Zheng Ru snorted with no interest and said: "Came and left? Hehe, besides, do you think Zhao De can handle our Director Lan? Stop making up these lies without any technical content; I'm not interested at all."

"You... if you don't believe me, I can't help it. Anyway, I did see that there is a special intimate relationship between Zhao De and Director Lan. Even if you don't believe me now, sooner or later you will believe my words." Xia Jian knew that he was now speaking without proof and others wouldn't believe him, so he didn't argue with Zheng Ru anymore.

But discovering today that there was a special relationship between Zhao De and Director Lan that exceeded the relationship between superior and subordinate, Xia Jian felt that this was also an opportunity. Even if Zheng Ru and Comrade Xiao Zhao didn't believe his words, he needed to reflect the problems he discovered to the leaders. From the perspective of the organization, their illicit behavior was a serious violation of the relevant regulations of the organization.

Xia Jian felt he wasn't understood. After sitting down, he held back a breath, thinking he must report this matter to the relevant leaders. So after sitting for a while, he got up silently, opened the door, went out, and went straight to the third floor. Before long, he arrived at the door of Director Zheng's office and knocked on the door lightly.

No one answered.

Continue knocking a few more times, waiting. Still no one answered.

Could it be that Director Zheng is not here again? Xia Jian thought. Just as he was thinking, Ma Debang poked his head out of the office, saw it was Xia Jian, and asked: "Xiao Xia, what are you doing?"

"Oh, looking for Director Zheng for something," Xia Jian said with a respectful smile.

"Director Zheng is not here. You knock once and no one answers, so you know he's not here. Why do you keep knocking and knocking? Isn't it annoying?" Ma Debang was very annoyed by the knocking sound that often rang in Director Zheng's office.

What are you being arrogant about? You're still just a deputy. Looking at Ma Debang's head shrinking back into the office, Xia Jian spat with disdain and turned to walk downstairs. He originally wanted to report to Director Zheng the fact that Zhao De and Director Lan violated organizational discipline, but who knew he wasn't there.

At this time, Director Zheng was accompanying the crown prince to study in the long-term private room of the Prince Hotel. He had already lost more than 10,000 to Director Zhu and Deputy Minister Li in two hours. However, this money wasn't taken from his own pocket, but Zhang Hui, who was sitting on the side acting as his advisor, would take a stack and put it into his table pocket whenever he lost, and he would take it and use it tacitly.

Because Lin Dafa came specifically to send money, he knew the probability of winning was zero every hand, but he still bet very big. In these two hours, he lost 70,000 or 80,000. He didn't care about this money, but being able to come and play mahjong with the Personnel Department Director and the Organization Department Deputy Minister under Director Zheng's invitation could be considered climbing relationships for his future development in Xijing.

Plus, with the young woman Zhang Hui, who was amorous and sexy, sitting in town, the atmosphere of the mahjong game was very good. Even Director Zhu and Deputy Minister Li, who always felt they were superior, appeared extremely approachable, talking and laughing while playing cards, and the two cooperated seamlessly. When Director Zhu needed a card, Li Changping wouldn't stop, and when Li Changping needed a card, Director Zhu wouldn't make a sound even if he drew it himself. The two let each other win one game after another. In more than two hours, each won nearly 50,000.

Just when the mahjong game was at its peak, Li Changping's phone rang. He didn't take it seriously and continued playing cards, but the phone kept ringing. Director Zhu said: "Deputy Minister Li, see who it is; it's so noisy."

Li Changping said irritably while saying: "Who is it?" He took out his phone from his bag, smacked his lips, and said: "Don't talk yet; it's Minister Su."

So everyone became quiet, and only then did Li Changping connect the phone and say with a smile: "Minister Su, what's the matter?"
