Chapter 641

"Heh! Afraid I'll compete with you, are you?" he asked with a light chuckle. "Are you afraid that if I come, it'll shrink the space you have to perform?"

"Zhao De, forget it. Since you've said 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 it." Zheng Ru's tone was somewhat disappointed, as if she really had something to tell him. In his anxiety, Zhao De hurriedly 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 De asked, completely confused. He hadn't even gone for the interview yet, and Zheng Ru was being so mysterious about telling him something; for a moment, it really 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. My dad is a Director, and she doesn't even put me in her eyes. She's very acerbic and mean. She's slightly better to me, but the other two male colleagues are scolded until they're bloody every day. I'm afraid you won't be able to stand it if you come. Ee! 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 De asked in surprise. He had seen many women, but he had never truly met a woman with a snake-like heart as described by Zheng Ru. Could it be that he really chose the wrong department? He couldn't help but feel like backing out.

"If you don't believe me, you'll know once 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 De, 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." He really felt a bit nervous.

"Then you'll know once you come and try." He didn't seem to appreciate her good intentions and insisted 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 dialed into Zhao De's mobile phone. Seeing the reminder on the screen, he saw it was a strange landline number, and the location showed it was in the city. He hurriedly said to Zheng Ru, "I have an important call coming in, I'm hanging up first."

Before he could hang up, Zheng Ru hung up in a huff. This was fine; he directly answered the landline and asked the other party, full of doubt, "May I ask who this is?"

"Are you Zhao De?" a girl's voice, which clearly sounded like she was in her twenties, asked him.

"Yes, I am," Zhao De 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 is coming?

"This is the Hexi Province Construction Committee. I'm from the Labor and Personnel Division. You are scheduled for an interview at 2:30 this afternoon. I am Han Rui. Just call this number when you arrive."

"Okay, okay, I understand," he hurriedly 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 smile.

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

"Then thank you," Zhao De said politely.

"You're welcome, see you this afternoon, hanging up." Han Rui said with a light laugh, and the call was immediately disconnected. The sweet and pleasant voice coming from the receiver made him very fond of it. The call 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 some distance away from here. He was afraid that if there was a traffic jam and he was late, it wouldn't be good, so he hurriedly lowered his head and shoveled a few mouthfuls of rice. After calling the waiter to pay the bill, he tore off a piece of tissue to wipe his mouth, walked out, and directly hailed a taxi to rush 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 De still knew this. ===== CHAPTER 642 =====
