Chapter 510: Heart Like a Snake and Scorpion

Han Rui also began to busy herself with her own affairs, and the office of the Labor and Personnel Division became quiet. If it were in the past, Zhao Desan would have had a lot to say, and when he met a beautiful stranger, he would try every means to get closer to her. Today, after seeing this girl who disappointed him greatly, he was too lazy to say a word to her.

After waiting for about half an hour in boredom, the landline of the Labor and Personnel Division rang, and Han Rui immediately answered the phone and started talking. From her words on the phone, Zhao Desan vaguely heard that it should be Zheng the Bald Donkey who had arrived at the unit, instructing her to arrange the interview.

Sure enough, as he expected, after Han Rui finished the call, she stood up and said, "Zhao Desan, the leaders have all arrived and are waiting for you in the conference room. Come with me, and bring your materials."

The interview opportunity was truly too tortuous for him. If it weren't for Sister Su's help, having missed the last interview opportunity, this job would definitely have been hopeless. So he waited for this opportunity very anxiously. Upon hearing that the leaders had all arrived and were waiting for him, his emotions immediately rose. While nodding, he stood up, took his materials, and followed Han Rui toward the conference room.

Arriving at the door of the conference room, Han Rui knocked on the door three times gently. Zheng the Bald Donkey, who was directly opposite, was lowering his head and playing with his phone. Seeing her bring Zhao Desan, he nodded and signaled for them to come in. So Zhao Desan followed her into the conference room. At this time, only Zheng the Bald Donkey and Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Debang were sitting in the conference room, plus Han Rui from the Labor and Personnel Division and Zhao Desan, totaling four people. Because he had already met Zheng the Bald Donkey and Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Debang under Sister Su's introduction before, Zhao Desan was not nervous at all and greeted them with a smile.

"Little Zhao, sit down," Zheng the Bald Donkey said to him particularly politely.

Zhao Desan sat down opposite them, and Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Debang nodded and smiled at him enthusiastically, which counted as a greeting.

Zheng the Bald Donkey waved his hand at Han Rui to signal her to go over. Han Rui walked up, and Zheng the Bald Donkey whispered something in her ear. She nodded and walked out of the conference room.

This was not an interview at all. He had already met these two old guys and drank with them, so what questions could there be? Zhao Desan thought happily. He originally thought there would be other people for the interview. Now that Han Rui had left, he knew both of these top two leaders. Drinking together couldn't be counted as old acquaintances, but at least they could be considered familiar.

Zheng the Bald Donkey took a cigarette from the cigarette case in his hand, lit it, and asked him with a smile, "When did Little Zhao come over? You must have waited for a long time, right?"

"Not really, just arrived," he replied with a smile. He would rather wait a while longer himself than let the leaders wait for him. He understood this point, so he didn't say he had been here for a long time.

Zheng the Bald Donkey said "Oh," blew a smoke ring, looked at the materials he had brought and placed in front of him, and said, "Take your resume and let me have a look."

Zhao Desan quickly pulled out two resumes, stood up, bent over, and handed one to Zheng the Bald Donkey and one to Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Debang. The two of them picked them up and examined them.

After a while, the crisp sound of high heels stepping on the marble-paved floor came from outside the conference room. As this sound gradually approached, Zhao Desan heard that the person coming was heading toward the conference room. And from the messy footsteps, it could be heard that it was obviously not one person; there should be other women besides Han Rui. A curiosity about a strange woman drove him to scan both sides with the corner of his eye, eager to know which woman had come.

The sound of high heels stepping on the ground reached behind him. Zheng the Bald Donkey and Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Debang simultaneously raised their eyes from his resume to look outside and smiled kindly.

"Chief Lan, come and sit here," Zheng the Bald Donkey signaled for the woman who came to sit beside him.

Chief Lan? Damn! Could it be the Chief of the Planning Division that Zheng Ru mentioned? Zheng Ru described her as very sharp-tongued and mean, so he was eager to know what this woman looked like and wanted to learn if she was really as venomous as a snake and scorpion as Zheng Ru said. Turning his head slightly to look, he was suddenly startled and immediately turned his head back to sit upright, but his heart became uneasy. How... how could it be... could it be her? Wasn't this the woman he met outside the building at noon? So she was Chief Lan? Was she his direct leader in the department he would be in in the future? It seemed that what Zheng Ru said was not an exaggeration. Just because he didn't notice her driving over at noon and blocked her parking spot, she glared at him with such a fierce look. It seemed that this woman was really not a good person.

Because he was a bit guilty, as soon as Chief Lan entered the conference room, Zhao Desan lowered his head slightly, his mood becoming a bit nervous. He was worried that because of what happened at noon, she would take the opportunity of the interview to make things difficult for him.

This Chief Lan's real name was Lan Mei, thirty-one years old. Her figure and appearance were among the best among all the women in the Construction Committee. Her personality was somewhat aloof, but her work ability was exceptionally outstanding. Because she often scolded and criticized others without regard for their face at work, and she liked to dress a bit more flirtatiously in private, her reputation in private was not very good. Lan Mei only knew today that a man was coming to the Construction Committee to interview for a staff member in the Planning Division, but she didn't know it was Zhao Desan who blocked her way at noon. When she walked into the conference room, Zhao Desan was sitting with his back to her and lowered his head. She glanced at Zhao Desan, who was sitting by the conference table with his back to her. At first, she didn't recognize that it was the man at noon. She walked past his back with her head held high and a look of aloofness, and walked straight to sit beside Zheng the Bald Donkey.

Zheng the Bald Donkey casually placed Zhao Desan's resume on the table and said, "Alright, Chief Lan has also come. Chief Zuo of the Labor and Personnel Division has something to do these days. Han Rui, you attend on his behalf and make the meeting minutes. Old Ma, Chief Lan, let's start."

Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Debang and Lan Mei nodded in unison to express their agreement.

As soon as Zhao Desan heard that the interview had officially started, he bit the bullet and raised his face uneasily. Perhaps because he was guilty, he wanted to see Chief Lan's reaction. Who knew that Lan Mei also happened to move her gaze in his direction. Four eyes met squarely. Suddenly, Lan Mei's willow eyebrows straightened slightly, and a pair of cold and arrogant eyes glared slightly, and then a cold sneer that made him feel somewhat unfathomable was squeezed out of the corner of her mouth.

She, does she want to make things difficult for me? As soon as Zhao Desan saw her somewhat sinister and strange smile, his heart became confused. The interview that he originally thought would be smooth sailing, in his view, should not be that smooth.

Because Sister Su came forward personally to invite Zheng the Bald Donkey and Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Debang to dinner and also introduced Zhao Desan to them, these two people just asked a few random questions, including which school he graduated from, how old he was, what kind of work he had done, and so on. They asked casually and then had no more questions. "Old Ma and I have no more questions. Chief Lan, Little Zhao is interviewing for a job in your Planning Division. Do you have any more questions?"

Lan Mei said, "Since we are looking for candidates for the Planning Division, I do have a few questions I want to ask him." Then she looked straight at him with a frivolous gaze that Zhao Desan couldn't fathom. The whites of her eyes were many, and at first glance, she looked like someone with ulterior motives. A sinister smile was squeezed out of the corner of her mouth, and she asked him with a smile that didn't reach her eyes, "The first question, I want to hear you talk about your understanding of the work of the Planning Division of the Construction Committee?"

As soon as he heard this question, Zhao Desan was dumbfounded. He really didn't know much about the specific work responsibilities of the Planning Division. He really regretted that he had come unprepared, and it was even more unlucky to have met such a difficult person. He was stunned for a moment, but fortunately, he had worked in a public institution for a few years, and coupled with his flexible brain and strong ability to adapt to circumstances, after considering for a moment, he started from the word "planning" and talked at length. Regardless of whether it was right or not, in short, he felt that as long as there was no cold spot, even if he said it wrong, it was better than not being able to answer.

After listening to his statement, Zheng the Bald Donkey and Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Debang nodded and smiled very satisfied. Only Lan Mei on the side, not knowing whether she was holding a grudge about what happened at noon and wanted to take the opportunity to make things difficult for him, or was dissatisfied with his answer, gave a contemptuous laugh and looked straight at him with a strange gaze, saying, "You said quite a lot, but it seems you don't know much about the functions of the Planning Division. Then I'll ask you another question. For an unreasonable planning project that needs to be approved, what do you think should be done?"

As soon as he heard this second question asked by this difficult Chief Lan, Zhao Desan's head became big. He had never been in contact with the work of the Planning Division and could be said to know nothing about what a planning project was. Although his heart was in a mess, he still pretended to be calm and thoughtful. After thinking for a while, he could only rely on the literal meaning and talk nonsense in a stammering way.

While answering this question, Zhao Desan had been secretly observing Chief Lan's expression. She was still looking at him with that cold and arrogant look, with a somewhat mocking smile on the corner of her mouth. Zhao Desan knew that his answer must not have satisfied her. He thought uneasily that this woman was really as Zheng Ru said, really difficult to provoke, and also held grudges. For such a small thing at noon, she actually... actually held a grudge and made things so difficult for me. He muttered to himself, talked nonsense, and finished answering her question. He looked at her nervously, waiting for comments.

From the slightly disheartened expressions of Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Debang and Zheng the Bald Donkey, Zhao Desan knew that his answer must be very unsatisfactory. But what could he do? He couldn't just be dumb and silent when asked a question. He could only be forced to do it. As for the result, it depended on whether this woman surnamed Lan would show mercy.

"Anything else?" Seeing that he stopped talking, Lan Mei looked at him with a look of disdain and asked.

"No... nothing else," Zhao Desan pretended to be calm and smiled, but his heart was extremely nervous. ===== CHAPTER 645 =====
