Chapter 1286

At this moment, Zheng Ru was sitting in her old man's office. Having learned this news, she still appeared unable to be happy. Zheng Tulu knew what she was worried about, so he enlightened her, saying, "Ru Ru, the document has come down today, what are you still worried about! I'll hold a meeting this afternoon to announce this matter to everyone. Once your role changes, you should also be a bit more serious. Don't be afraid of wolves in front and tigers behind!"

"I'm afraid everyone will gossip," Zheng Ru said, full of worries.

Zheng Tulu said dismissively, "What's there to be afraid of? If they love to gossip, let them gossip. Who can't let people gossip a bit? Haven't I also been gossiped about by people below recently? I still didn't take it to heart! Gossiping back and forth can't change the fact that you are a Deputy Division Chief. You go down and prepare to tidy up your things. As soon as the meeting is over this afternoon, I'll arrange for someone to re-arrange a separate office for you. At that time, I'll transfer two people with strong work abilities from the grassroots to assist you in your work. There's nothing to worry about."

Zheng Ru said "Oh." Although she also knew that the benefit of being a leader was that she didn't have to do things herself, and if there was anything, she could dismantle and move others to do it, which was much easier than now. But after all, she still felt that she was a bit unworthy of the name and was afraid that people would gossip behind her back.

"Alright, you go back to the office first and tidy up your things," Zheng Tulu said.

Zheng Ru said "Oh" and got up and walked out of his office with a heavy heart. When she returned to the Planning Division office, Zhao Desan and Xia Jian turned their heads to look at her at the same time. They saw that not only did she not appear very happy, but she looked a bit heavy-hearted. So Zhao Desan said in a joking tone, "Great Beauty Zheng, why are you not only not happy on such a big happy day today, but also look heavy-hearted?"

"What's there to be happy about!" Zheng Ru rolled her eyes at Zhao Desan in annoyance.

The hot love hit a cold butt, making Zhao Desan feel very embarrassed. He muttered in a low voice, "Got the benefit and still act spoiled!"

Xia Jian, who was full of dissatisfaction, immediately helped to chime in, deliberately raising his voice, and said with sarcasm, "People must never act pretentious, acting pretentious will get you struck by lightning!"

Zheng Ru knew that he was pointing at the east and scolding the west, targeting her. Coupled with the fact that she was worried about others gossiping, although she really wanted to scold back, at this critical moment, she still swallowed her pride and didn't make a sound.

Zheng Ru's surprising calmness made both Zhao Desan and Xia Jian feel a bit surprised. The two looked at each other, and Zhao Desan winked and shushed at him. Xia Jian glanced at Zheng Ru, who was lowering her head and pretending not to hear, and again said sarcastically to Zhao Desan, "Comrade Xiao Zhao, you say why am I so useless? I've been working for six or seven years, and I'm still standing still! Unlike some people, in less than a year, they flew up like a rocket."

Zhao Desan was very slick. In front of Zheng Ru, he naturally wouldn't show how much he was in cahoots with Xia Jian, just laughed and didn't say anything. The Planning Division office, which usually had a harmonious atmosphere, became unharmonious after Zheng Ru was promoted to Deputy Division Chief, as if it had entered a cold war period. Throughout the whole morning, Xia Jian would complain every once in a while. Zheng Ru, who usually had a very explosive temper, was unusually calm this morning, ignoring Xia Jian's sarcastic remarks and pretending not to hear them. The more dissatisfied and unbalanced he felt, the calmer Zheng Ru became, not competing with him.

The oppressive atmosphere lasted until the end of the morning shift. When going to the cafeteria for lunch, almost everyone was discussing Zheng Ru being promoted to Deputy Division Chief of the Planning Division. For a time, this matter became a topic of conversation for everyone after tea and dinner. Xia Jian brought his food, sat down next to Zhao Desan, and whispered to him, "Comrade Xiao Zhao, did you hear? Not only do we have opinions, but other colleagues also have opinions, and they all have great objections to this appointment by the Personnel Department."

Zhao Desan smiled lightly noncommittally and said, "Brother Xia, so what? Talking about this privately in the unit won't change this result at all. Whoever really wants to change this result, then have the ability to post this matter directly to major online forums. Once this matter is hyped up, the result will definitely change." Zhao Desan once again injected a glimmer of hope into Xia Jian's heart, making him feel psychologically that there was still a turning point in this matter, making him more determined to execute his plan.

"How do you know that if it's hyped up on the internet, the result will change?" Xia Jian turned his head and asked. Although he was bewitched by Zhao Desan and had already decided to do so, he still wasn't sure that doing so would definitely attract the attention of the higher-ups, and it wouldn't necessarily be able to change this result.

Zhao Desan looked at the thirsty-for-knowledge Xia Jian, ate a mouthful of food, and said unhurriedly, "My cousin said so, I don't know if it's true, but I think she wouldn't lie, right?" To make Xia Jian believe his words, Zhao Desan brought out Su Qing as a weight.

"Did Minister Su really say that?" Xia Jian asked with slight surprise.

"She said it unintentionally last night," Zhao Desan said. To make Xia Jian act according to his own ideas, Zhao Desan used himself as an analogy and continued, "Brother Xia, don't you think it's strange that I didn't compete for this matter? If I wanted to be this Deputy Division Chief, it would be a matter of one sentence from my cousin, I'm afraid it wouldn't be Zheng Ru's turn, right?"

"That's right! Comrade Xiao Zhao, why didn't you fight for this opportunity?" Xia Jian only then felt that this matter seemed a bit suspicious, thinking that if Zhao Desan really wanted to fight for this opportunity, then getting this opportunity would definitely be easy, but why didn't he fight for it? And he didn't look sorry at all? This made Xia Jian a bit confused, looking at him in a daze.

"It's because I've only been working for a year, my qualifications and years of work are not enough. My cousin was just afraid that if I were promoted, it would cause a huge uproar, attract the attention of the higher-ups, and once investigated, not only would my result be hard to say, but it would very likely make it hard for her to end up well, and it would implicate her." Zhao Desan made up a perfect lie, wanting to make Xia Jian understand that even things the Provincial Organization Department Minister was worried about, once posted on the internet and caused a reaction, could it not change the result?

"Then that is to say, once this matter spreads on the internet, Zheng Ru's Deputy Division Chief position will probably be revoked?" Xia Jian asked further.

"It's not an estimate, I can't say 100%, but at least there's an 80% possibility," Zhao Desan said with certainty.

Just at this moment, Lan Mei ate her meal and passed by Zhao Desan's side, glancing at him sideways. In order not to let Xia Jian feel that her attitude toward Zhao Desan was ambiguous, she deliberately put on a straight face, looked at him strangely, and said with a cold tone, "Comrade Xiao Zhao, come to my office for a while later!"

Zhao Desan was stunned for a moment and said "Oh." Lan Mei then walked straight out of the cafeteria.

Xia Jian saw Lan Mei's attitude toward Zhao Desan suddenly change drastically, so he said to Zhao Desan with a ghostly smile, "Comrade Xiao Zhao, did you offend Deputy Director Lan again? I remember her attitude toward you was very intimate, how come it became so serious today?"

"Forget it, hurry up and eat your food!" Zhao Desan rolled his eyes at him and said, then sighed and said, "I really have had bad luck for eight lifetimes, how did I encounter such a leader!"

Xia Jian ate a mouthful of food and said, "Forget it, how good was Deputy Director Lan's attitude toward you? Look at how she treats us usually, that attitude, it's simply as if someone owed her money."

"Hey, I'm going to die," Zhao Desan sighed, got up, walked out of the cafeteria, and went straight toward the office building. After a while, he arrived at the door of Lan Mei's office.

"Dong dong dong." Zhao Desan knocked on the door three times.

"Come in." Knowing it was Zhao Desan, Lan Mei replied without thinking.

Zhao Desan pushed the door and entered. Seeing Lan Mei sitting in the office chair, seeing him come in, she blinked her enchanting eyes lightly, her attitude improved a lot compared to just now, and she said with tenderness, "Sit." ===== CHAPTER 1287 =====
