Chapter 507

"Ha! You're afraid I'll compete with you, aren't you?" he asked with a light chuckle. "Are you afraid that if I come, it will shrink the space you have to show off your skills?"

"Zhao Desan, forget it. Since you say it like that, I won't tell you anything. I originally wanted to tell you about some things I've discovered in the two days I've been working, but since you don't appreciate it, forget it. I won't say." Zheng Ru's tone was somewhat disappointed, as if she really had something to tell him. In his anxiety, Zhao Desan quickly said with a grin, "I was just joking with you. What did you discover?"

"Forget it. I'll tell you for the sake of the connection between us. I've been working for a few days and discovered that the Planning Division is really not a good place to stay. Do you know why?" Zheng Ru said mysteriously.

"Why?" Zhao Desan asked, completely bewildered. He hadn't even gone for the interview yet, and Zheng Ru was being so mysterious about telling him something that it actually made him feel a bit uneasy.

"The Chief of the Planning Division is a woman in her thirties. She looks down on everyone below her. Even though my dad is the Director, she doesn't put me in her eyes. She's very sharp-tongued and mean. She's slightly better to me, but the other two male colleagues are scolded until they're bloody-headed every day. I'm afraid you won't be able to stand it if you come. Hey! You don't know, that woman is too mean! Don't say I didn't give you a heads-up in advance."

"No way, right?" Zhao Desan asked in surprise. He had seen many women, but he had never met a woman with a heart as venomous as the one Zheng Ru described. Could it be that he had really chosen the wrong department? He couldn't help but want to back out.

"If you don't believe me, you'll know after you come this afternoon and experience it yourself. During the interview, she will definitely ask you some mean questions." Zheng Ru made it sound very terrifying, which really made him lose his confidence. Zhao Desan, who had never been afraid of women, felt a bit scared for the first time before even meeting the person. "Let... let's go to the interview first and then talk about it." He was truly feeling a bit nervous.

"Then you'll know once you come and try." She seemed to feel that he didn't appreciate her good intentions and was still insistent on going to the Planning Division to compete with her, which made her feel a bit angry. She said this in a huff.

Just then, another call came into Zhao Desan's phone. Seeing the notification on the screen, he saw it was a strange landline number, and the location showed it was in the city. He quickly said to Zheng Ru, "I have an important call coming in, I'm hanging up first."

Without waiting for him to hang up, Zheng Ru hung up in a huff. That was fine; he answered the landline directly and asked the other party, full of confusion, "May I ask who this is?"

"Are you Zhao Desan?" a voice that clearly sounded like a girl in her twenties asked him.

"Yes, I am," Zhao Desan replied. Upon hearing that the other party was a woman with a sweet voice, he immediately felt secretly happy, thinking, could it be that another romantic encounter was coming?

"This is the Hexi Province Construction Committee. I am from the Labor and Personnel Division. We have scheduled your interview for 2:30 this afternoon. I am Han Rui. Just call this number when you arrive."

"Okay, okay, I understand," he quickly replied, muttering to himself that it was a call from the Construction Committee; he had thought he was having another romantic encounter.

"Remember, don't be late," Han Rui urged. "By the way, bring your documents and files with you."

"Okay, okay," he replied with a laugh.

"Alright then, goodbye." After finishing the business, Han Rui was about to hang up.

"Then thank you," Zhao Desan said politely.

"You're welcome, see you this afternoon, hanging up now," Han Rui said with a light laugh. The phone then disconnected. The sweet and pleasant voice that came from the receiver made him like it very much. The phone had already hung up, but that beautiful and pleasant voice was still echoing in his ears.

Holding the phone, he revealed a lecherous smile and daydreamed for a while before putting the phone down. He looked at the watch on his wrist; it was already past one o'clock. The Construction Committee was still a distance away from here, and he was afraid that if there was a traffic jam and he was late, it wouldn't be good. He quickly lowered his head and shoveled a few mouthfuls of food, called the waiter to pay the bill, tore off a piece of tissue to wipe his mouth, and after walking out, he directly hailed a taxi to head to the Construction Committee. He would rather wait for the leaders than let the leaders wait for him. Having worked at the Yuyang City Coal Bureau for three or four years, Zhao Desan still knew this point. ===== CHAPTER 642 =====
