Chapter 1152: Good for nothing

Ma Debang glared fiercely at Han Rui, who listened to Zheng the Bald Donkey and kept him in the dark, and left with a flick of his sleeves. After returning to the office, Ma Debang sat heavily on the boss chair, his face iron-blue, his brows locked, his chest rising and falling with anger. After waiting for his breathing to calm down a little, he picked up his phone and called Zheng the Bald Donkey, wanting to ask clearly about this matter.

Perhaps Zheng the Bald Donkey saw that Ma Debang had called and already thought that he knew they were going on a business trip to another city. As soon as the call was connected, he said with a smile: "Hey, Old Ma, I'm on the way to a business trip to another place, what's the matter?"

Ma Debang was still full of anger just now, but as soon as the call was connected, he immediately softened. He suppressed the anger that was about to erupt and asked with a softened voice: "Director Zheng, what kind of business trip are you going on this time?"

Zheng the Bald Donkey said: "Oh, a meeting on urban planning organized by the province in Baoji City."

Ma Debang laughed softly, a bit sourly, and said: "I looked at the invitation from Little Han, it seems that it invited Director Zheng and me to go together, right?"

As soon as Zheng the Bald Donkey heard that this old guy knew the truth, he still laughed and said unhurriedly: "I originally planned to go with you, Old Ma, but this business trip will take ten days or half a month. If we both leave, there will be no one to preside over the work in the Construction Committee. So, I want you to stay and preside over the work comprehensively first. And this forum is mainly related to planning and development. I think Little Lan is more suitable to go. The reason I didn't tell you is that the time is very urgent. Old Ma, don't have any thoughts. Just preside over the work of the Construction Committee well for these ten days or so. What do you think?"

I shouldn't have any thoughts? You are clearly sidelining my power! Ma Debang gritted his back teeth in anger, the veins on his temples were exposed, but even so, he still couldn't vent directly to Zheng the Bald Donkey again, so he had to swallow his anger, calm down, and laugh: "What thoughts can I have? You are the number one in the unit, Director Zheng, whatever you say goes." Although he said so, it was obvious that Ma Debang had resentment, so Zheng the Bald Donkey continued: "Hey, Old Ma, you are wrong to say that. I have carefully considered this. Indeed, if we both leave, the work of the Construction Committee will be presided over by no one, and it will be a mess. This time, it's my fault for not telling you in advance that there is such a thing. Next time, if there is any meeting, you go, and I won't go. Old Ma, don't think too much. Just preside over the work in the unit well and don't cause any trouble."

Ma Debang gritted his back teeth tightly, his teeth grinding and clicking. He suppressed his anger and laughed: "I don't have any thoughts, I just ask Director Zheng, as long as the matter is clarified and I know what you are thinking, Director Zheng."

Zheng the Bald Donkey said with a smile: "Old Ma, do you understand now? It's a very simple matter. For these ten days or so, you are responsible for all the work of the unit. Just watch it well and don't cause any trouble." It was said to be simple, but it was not simple. This move of Zheng the Bald Donkey killing two birds with one stone could be said to be clever. First, he could take Lan Mei by his side for his own enjoyment, and second, he cut off Ma Debang's meeting with relevant leaders of other units in the province, further cutting off the relationship network he wanted to win over.

"Alright then, Director Zheng, I know, then I'll hang up first." After saying this, Ma Debang hung up the phone.

The phone rang three times, and Zheng the Bald Donkey sneered and stuffed the phone into the small drawer in front of the car, full of spring breeze and pride. He turned his head and looked at the rearview mirror, seeing Lan Mei's car following him closely, and the pride in his heart was truly sneaky.

Ma Debang almost threw the phone onto the table, crossed his hands and lay on the desk, his face iron-blue. Because of the clenching of his back teeth, his cheeks looked bulging, his brows were locked, and his eyes radiated a cold chill. As Deputy Director, it should have been him who went to Baoji City to attend this urban development forum organized by the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government. He knew the high specifications of this forum, and he could have taken this opportunity to meet many relevant leaders and big leaders in the province. But Zheng the Bald Donkey played a dirty trick on this matter, but had a high-sounding reason. This made Ma Debang vaguely feel that the old fox seemed to still be brooding over the frontal conflict in Sanya. Although Ma Debang was inferior to Zheng the Bald Donkey in terms of relationship network and power, if he insisted on not letting him go and always fixing him, he would have a fish-die-net-break. Even if he couldn't stay here and was kicked away, he couldn't just leave willingly. Before leaving, he must splash feces on Zheng the Bald Donkey and make him stink. In this way, even if he left, the old fox would stink! Ma Debang thought so, lit a cigarette, leaned on the boss chair, took a fierce puff, narrowed his eyes, and began to think of countermeasures for the possibility of being fixed by Zheng the Bald Donkey next.

Xia Jian returned to the office and sat for a while, finding that Ma Debang didn't come to teach Zhao Desan a lesson. Seeing Zhao Desan's fearless look, Xia Jian felt uncomfortable in his heart. He couldn't be the opponent of Zhao Desan, who was tall and strong, in a frontal conflict. So he took advantage of his status as the current temporary acting Division Chief of the Planning Division and once again issued a warning to Zhao Desan, who was wearing headphones and watching videos. However, this time he learned to be smart. He deliberately stood up in front of Zhao Da and Zheng Ru and suddenly said to Zhao Desan with a serious face and raised voice: "Little Zhao, this is the office, it's work time, what are you doing? Division Chief Lan is not here, so you know how to be lazy? Why didn't you watch when Division Chief Lan was here? I think you are quite treacherous."

Zhao Desan might have been wearing headphones and didn't hear him, or he heard it and didn't want to ignore him. He continued to watch the video, as if he didn't hear what he said, and didn't even look at him. The expression on his face changed richly following the plot in the video.

His words were like wind in his ears and didn't cause any reaction from Zhao Desan, which made Division Chief Xia suddenly feel angry and ashamed. He suddenly raised his voice and said sternly: "Zhao Desan! Did you hear me! Turn off the video and work hard!"

Zhao Da and Zheng Ru turned their heads to look at Zhao Desan, and then looked at Xia Jian. He stood in front of Zhao Desan, as if he regarded himself as a leader, staring at Zhao Desan with a straight face.

Zheng Ru looked at it with disgust, curled her lips and lowered her head to busy herself, and Zhao Da also started to do his own work.

Zhao Desan looked at him, took off his headphones, stood up, and lifted the chair. This action suddenly scared Xia Jian to retreat two steps, holding his head in horror and stammering: "Zhao Desan, you... you still dare to hit me?"

Zhao Desan originally got up to move the chair to a comfortable position, but he didn't expect this move to be mistaken by Xia Jian as wanting to hit him, scaring him into such a wolfish look of holding his head and fleeing. Zhao Desan knew that this guy was a bully who was afraid of the hard, so he lifted the chair and smashed it heavily on the ground, and asked sternly with a rough breath: "Xia Jian, I ask you, do you have a grudge against me? Why are you always going against me, damn it?"

"I... I am performing the duties of the Division Chief. Look at what you are doing during work hours? I said two words to you, and you still want to hit me? You have turned the sky, right? Don't think you are very great, tell you Zhao Desan, I am not afraid of you!" Xia Jian obviously softened his tone because of Zhao Desan's move just now, but in front of Zheng Ru and Zhao Da, in order to maintain his male dignity, he still pretended to be calm and refused to admit defeat.
