Chapter 1556: Decomposing Power

Observing the reactions of the two, Zhao Desan became even more certain that these two colluding adulterers wanted to decompose his power through the division of labor and sideline him step by step. Fortunately, he wasn't stupid and had discovered it early, and Jia Wanli had also been conquered by his masculine prowess and was now completely devoted to him. So, in response to Zheng Tulu's questioning, Zhao Desan smiled and said, "Director Zheng, I feel that the unit and the organization promoted me to be this deputy director certainly not to let me sit around and do nothing, but to let me work, to let me advance the planning work of the Chanba New District. Of course, I will definitely work hard and live up to expectations. Therefore, as for any work within my scope of responsibility, even if it means doing more or being more tired, it doesn't matter to me. In order to do a good job in the planning of the Chanba New District, I, Zhao Desan, am absolutely willing to give my all until my heart stops, and I have no regrets."

"Yo, so you really have that kind of fearless spirit of sacrifice for work, Comrade Xiao Zhao?" Zheng Tulu asked with a sarcastic tone and a scoff.

"It's not really a fearless spirit. I just feel that since the leaders could look favorably upon me and promote me to this position, even if they don't recognize my work ability, at least they recognize me as a person, right? You leaders all have discerning eyes for talent; otherwise, you wouldn't have promoted me, right?" Zhao Desan skillfully countered Zheng Tulu's sarcasm.

This flattery left Zheng Tulu speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say. Just as Zhao Desan was secretly happy, He Liping put down the work plan in her hand, turned around, and said with a smile, "Comrade Xiao Zhao, as leaders of the unit, every arrangement has its reasoning. Why do we want you to share more work with Little Jia? Why did we transfer Little Jia to assist you? It's to let you relax mentally so that you can be in a clear-headed state, have a clear understanding of the planning work of the Chanba New District, and do a good job. You say you're shouldering all the work—then why did we transfer Little Jia here? Besides, you can't shoulder it alone. The planning work of the Chanba New District is very difficult; after all, it's a national-level new district. Every step must be considered holistically. If your workload is too heavy and your mind isn't clear, maybe one day you'll make a mistake. Once a mistake is made, it will affect the whole situation, affecting the strategic layout of the entire new district, and even affecting the development of the entire Xijing City." He Liping described the potential severity of the situation as if it were worse than murder.

However, Zhao Desan didn't think so. He understood that He Liping and Zheng Tulu were desperately trying to decompose his power to Jia Wanli because they wanted to use her to keep him in check, wanting to make him, this deputy director, a mere figurehead. *In your dreams! * Zhao Desan thought, but he said respectfully, "Director Zheng and Deputy Director He are right. But since you leaders could promote me, you must recognize me, right? You wouldn't have promoted me if you didn't. Since you recognize me, you leaders should let go and let me do it. And I have the confidence to do the work well. As for the worries you leaders have, they are all unnecessary. I guarantee with my head that I will definitely do a good job in the planning of the new district." In order to win back his power, Zhao Desan didn't hesitate to use a vow to withstand the pressure from He Liping and Zheng Tulu.

Zhao Desan's words were reasonable and logical, and he had grasped the initiative in the conversation, leaving Zheng Tulu and He Liping without a reason to seize his power for the time being.

Seeing that the two couldn't find a reason, Zhao Desan hurriedly pressed his advantage and continued, "Two leaders, let's leave it at that. I will coordinate the specific work arrangements below. I can make such arrangements because I'm sure of it. I won't disturb you two leaders anymore. I'll take my leave." As he spoke, Zhao Desan didn't leave them any room for thought and turned to walk out of Zheng Tulu's office.

Not until they heard the office door creak did Zheng Tulu and He Liping snap back to reality. Having had their plan to strip him of his power—which they had racked their brains to come up with—so easily neutralized by Zhao Desan, Zheng Tulu was so angry that his face tightened, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "That stinky brat is too cunning!" ===== CHAPTER 1557 =====
