Chapter 1284

Zheng Tulu thought for a moment and said, "Then let's make it this afternoon, we'll hold a short meeting this afternoon to announce this matter."

"What about the public announcement?" He Liping asked.

"I'll arrange for Xiao Han to make a copy of the Personnel Department's document later and post it on the bulletin board for public announcement," Zheng Tulu said, "These procedures still need to be followed."

"Alright, Old Zheng, you go ahead and arrange this matter. I won't delay your time here. I have some things on hand that I need to deal with, so I'll go over there first," He Liping said as she got up, having grasped the latest situation.

"Alright, Li Ping, if you have things to do, go ahead and get busy," Zheng Tulu didn't try to keep her. He watched He Liping walk out of the office and then picked up his phone to call Han Rui.

As soon as the call connected, Han Rui's emotional voice came through: "Director Zheng, what are your instructions?"

"Xiao Han, come up here," Zheng Tulu said in his habitual commanding tone.

"What's wrong? Did Deputy Director He leave? Can I come up?" Han Rui asked provocatively, full of emotion.

Zheng Tulu knew why Han Rui said that—she had just discovered his and He Liping's secret—so he said with a smile, "Xiao Han, don't be emotional first. You come up, I have something to tell you."

"So you know you want to tell me!" Han Rui complained and hung up the phone.

A moment later, Han Rui came to Zheng Tulu's office, pushed the door open, rolled her eyes at him, and said with some emotion, "Director Zheng, what do you have to tell me?"

"Are you still angry?" Zheng Tulu asked with a smile.

Han Rui glanced at him and said provocatively, "What would I be angry about?"

"Just now seeing Li..." Zheng Tulu originally wanted to call He Liping directly by her name, Li Ping, but felt that was too intimate, so he changed it to "Deputy Director He," and said, "Just now seeing Deputy Director He with me, so you're a bit angry?"

"How would I dare? Even if you and Deputy Director He are very intimate, Director Zheng, I wouldn't dare to be angry," Han Rui said with emotion.

"Come here," Zheng Tulu said, looking at her with a smile.

Han Rui walked over coyly. Zheng Tulu pulled her to sit on the armrest of his chair, immediately wrapped his arms around her waist, and said with flowery words, "There's no need. Deputy Director He is my old subordinate, it's normal for our relationship to be a bit better. Besides, Xiao Han, I haven't treated you badly, have I? I've helped a lot with your sister's matter, haven't I? She's been made permanent now, right? And I've also spoken to President Wang; after she works in the hospital for a year or two, I'll immediately promote her to Head Nurse. I've been worrying about you two sisters, and I'm also worrying about your matter. Once there's a position in the General Office, I'll promote you, so don't be emotional anymore."

The reason Han Rui was able to submit to Zheng Tulu and was willing to be his plaything was, of course, not because she had feelings for him. It was a polite exchange, each getting what they needed. She was just feeling unbalanced because she felt He Liping was favored and had taken her position. Since Zheng Tulu had said this, she had no need to be angry. So, her attitude immediately did a 180-degree turn, and she said with a charming smile, "Director Zheng, I wasn't angry. What could I be angry at you for? Look at what you're saying."

"It's good that you're not angry," Zheng Tulu laughed. Seeing that he had coaxed Han Rui, he patted her butt, picked up the fax document from the Personnel Department on the table, handed it to her, and continued, "Go make a copy of this document, post it on the bulletin board for public announcement, and notify everyone to hold a meeting in the conference room at three o'clock this afternoon."

Han Rui was stunned for a moment, took the document, and nodded, "Okay."

"Alright, go hurry up and make the copy, and post it on the bulletin board," Zheng Tulu arranged.

Han Rui stood up with the document, threw a flirtatious look at Zheng Tulu, and said coquettishly, "Director Zheng, then I'll go get busy."

"Go," Zheng Tulu smiled wickedly at her and sent her off to do the work.

When Han Rui walked out of Zheng Tulu's office with the document, He Liping happened to come out of her office with a teacup to pour out the old tea leaves inside. She bumped into Han Rui and asked with a friendly smile, "Xiao Han, where are you going?"

"Director Zheng asked me to copy a document." Back in Zheng Tulu's office, Han Rui dared to treat He Liping with that attitude just to show Zheng Tulu. Privately, when she saw He Liping, how could she dare to speak to her with that attitude? Look, this time, her subservient appearance was like a different person from just now. This actually helped He Liping find some self-esteem, feeling that her status had suddenly risen. She let out a light laugh and said, "Then you go ahead."

Watching Han Rui twist her hips and walk down the stairs, He Liping then carried the teacup to the restroom to pour out the old tea leaves. She returned to her office, brewed a cup of tea, sat down, thought for a moment, picked up her phone, and sent a message to Zhao Desan, telling him that the Personnel Department's document had come down and would be announced soon.

Zhao Desan, who had been refreshing the unit's and the Personnel Department's websites all morning without any news, thought He Liping was lying to him when she said the Personnel Department would issue a document today. Now that he received He Liping's "tip-off" message, his almost extinguished hope immediately ignited. Taking advantage of others not paying attention, he quietly replied to He Liping's message, asking her when the Personnel Department's document would be announced. When He Liping received Zhao Desan's message, a cold sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth, thinking that this matter had nothing to do with him anymore, so why was he still so concerned about it? So she replied to the message, telling him that Han Rui had already gone to copy the document and it would be posted on the bulletin board in a while.

Having received this news, Zhao Desan couldn't sit still in the office. He refreshed the Personnel Department's website a few more times and waited for more than half an hour. He was truly restless and wanted to know if the Personnel Department's document had actually been posted on the bulletin board. So, he got up silently, walked out of the office, and went straight downstairs toward the enterprise affairs disclosure board on the first floor.

Although the content of the announcement had nothing to do with him anymore, Zhao Desan was still a bit anxious. He almost ran downstairs. Arriving at the first floor, he saw from a distance a group of people gathered around the bulletin board and immediately confirmed the news He Liping had told him. He walked over anxiously and stood outside the group of people. Because he was tall, he saw at a glance a new document from the Personnel Department posted on the bulletin board. He then focused his attention and read the content of the document carefully in a low voice: "In order to meet the needs of Hexi Province's urban development planning, according to the decision of the personnel meeting, Comrade Zheng Ru of your unit is hereby appointed as Deputy Director of the Planning Division of the Hexi Provincial Construction Committee. This personnel appointment shall be executed from the date your unit receives the appointment document..."

The announcement result he had been expecting finally came out, but when he saw this document, he couldn't be happy at all. An extremely strong sense of loss arose in his heart. Originally, the name on this document shouldn't have been Zheng Ru, but himself. Thinking that from today on, Zheng Ru would transform into the Deputy Director of the Planning Division and become his leader, as Zhao Desan who came to the Construction Committee with her, let alone how disappointed he felt at this moment.

Several colleagues from other departments gathered around the bulletin board were whispering to each other, discussing this decision by the Personnel Department, most of them showing a dissatisfied attitude. Zhao Desan stood behind the group of people and listened carefully to their chattering opinions. His disappointed mood gradually eased a bit. Just as he had guessed, regarding Zheng Ru being appointed as Deputy Director of the Planning Division, it seemed that not only were the people in their Planning Division unconvinced, but even people from other unrelated departments held great opinions. Then, in this way, once Xia Jian posted this matter on the internet, I'm afraid it wouldn't be possible not to cause a strong reaction. Thinking of this, a cold sneer appeared at the corner of Zhao Desan's mouth, and he walked upstairs.

After returning to the office, before Zhao Desan had time to sit down, he walked straight to Xia Jian's side, bent down, and whispered, "Brother Xia, a document from the Personnel Department was posted on the bulletin board downstairs."

"About what?" As soon as Xia Jian heard this news, he appeared excited and immediately turned his face to ask. Because he was too excited, his voice was a bit loud, immediately attracting the attention of Zheng Ru and Zhao Da. So Zhao Desan gave him a wink, coughed, and said, "Let's smoke a cigarette, I'm exhausted." Saying this, he turned and walked out of the office. Xia Jian understood. After Zheng Ru and Zhao Da returned to their work, he walked out of the office silently, came to Zhao Desan, and asked him urgently: "Xiao Zhao, what is the document about?"

"Brother Xia, think about what else it could be about. Isn't it just the document appointing the Great Princess Zheng as Deputy Division Chief? The official document from the Personnel Department has already been issued today. I went downstairs to handle some business just now and saw everyone gathered around the bulletin board looking at something. I walked up and saw that it was the document issued by the Personnel Department appointing Zheng Ru as Deputy Division Chief." ===== CHAPTER 1285 =====
