Chapter 646

Ma Debang then smiled and helped him out tactfully, saying, "Xiao Lan, Comrade Xiao Zhao is still quite capable. His written test score is ranked first. Give him a chance."

Zheng the Bald Donkey also, because he had boasted to Minister Su that he would get Zhao De in, couldn't let himself look like he had no face in front of Zhao De just because of a Chief Lan. No matter what, he was still the top leader of the Construction Committee. Even if he knew that Lan Mei was a bit shrewish and difficult to provoke, he couldn't let himself lose all face in front of Zhao De today. So he cleared his throat, smiled, and expressed agreement with Ma Debang's help, "Yes, Old Ma is right. Comrade Xiao Zhao's written test score is ranked first. Maybe he is a bit nervous today, and his performance is not very satisfactory, but... but his written test score can get first place, there must be no big problem. Chief Lan, what do you think?"

When Lan Mei saw that both of them were helping him, she vaguely felt that this kid should still have some background. However, this woman was one who ate soft but not hard, and was afraid of no one in the Construction Committee. Hearing that both the top two leaders were speaking for him, she sneered and said, "The interview is to examine a person's ability to adapt to changes in a strange environment. I just asked two very simple questions, and his answers were not related to the questions at all. Anyway, I think he is not suitable to enter the Planning Division."

Zhao De had originally thought that with Director Zheng and Ma Debang helping him, there shouldn't be much of a problem. Who knew that this flirtatious woman would be so persistent in her own views and not give any face to the two leaders? He felt really wronged for these two men, Zheng the Bald Donkey and Ma Debang. As dignified Deputy Directors, they couldn't even handle a Chief. At the same time, he began to doubt his own fate and future. He had no confidence in whether he could successfully pass the interview and be accepted today.

Zheng the Bald Donkey, being spoken to like this by Lan Mei, also felt that he had no face in front of Zhao De. When eating and drinking, he had boasted in front of Minister Su and patted his chest to guarantee that there would be no problem. Who knew that in front of Lan Mei, it would make this originally very simple matter complicated. In the past, if he wanted to place someone in another department, it was a matter of one sentence. Which Chief dared to go against him?

Since Chief Lan didn't give him face, she wouldn't not sell Minister Su's face, right? So he said awkwardly with a smile, "Xiao Lan, Comrade Xiao Zhao is the distant cousin of our... our Provincial Party Committee Organization Department Minister Su Qing... Look, if there is no big problem, just accommodate him. I have dealt with this young man Comrade Xiao Zhao, he is very smart, and his brain is very flexible, but he hasn't been in contact with the work of the Construction Committee before. Once he slowly becomes competent, he will definitely be able to handle it."

From the fact that Ma Debang and Zheng the Bald Donkey were helping this guy speak just now, Lan Mei felt that he must have some connections, and she really guessed it right. Originally, she had sold Zheng the Bald Donkey a face to let her daughter enter the Planning Division, and this was another one who came through the back door. Lan Mei looked down on Zhao De from the bottom of her heart. She glanced at him flirtatiously and said to Zheng the Bald Donkey with a fake smile, "Since it was introduced by Minister Su, and Director Zheng and Deputy Director Ma have both been helping him speak, Director Zheng, you have the final say in the Construction Committee, so you should make the decision. You have the final say." Although Lan Mei reluctantly handed over the decision-making power to Zheng the Bald Donkey, the words clearly carried an extremely unwilling emotion.

After she said this, Zhao De's heart, which had been hanging, was let down, but he didn't feel relaxed because of this. Today was the first time he met Chief Lan, and he had already learned how powerful she was. And Director Zheng had moved out Sister Su to barely get things done. Zhao De thought that this woman would definitely make things difficult for him everywhere in the future.

Lan Mei reluctantly agreed, and Zheng the Bald Donkey also managed to regain some face in front of Zhao De. He said with a "hehe," "Then... then let's do it this way. Comrade Xiao Zhao's interview today counts as passed."

Ma Debang nodded on the side. Among the three interview leaders, only Lan Mei looked unhappy and didn't say a word, occasionally glancing at Zhao De with a very acerbic gaze, as if she was very dissatisfied with him.

"Then... then the interview ends here. Comrade Xiao Zhao, you hand over your materials to Xiao Han later, and come to work next Monday." Zheng the Bald Donkey said.

"Okay, okay." Zhao De hurriedly nodded respectfully.

"That's fine, then let's stop here." After Zheng the Bald Donkey finished speaking, he stood up, and Ma Debang also stood up, walking out of the conference room one after another.

Lan Mei sat motionless for a while. After they left, she stood up with displeasure and walked out. When passing by Zhao De, she glanced at him with a flirtatious and sharp gaze. Because Zhao De was nervous, he also tilted his face slightly to look at her. When their gazes met, Chief Lan squeezed a cold smile from the corner of her mouth and walked out of the conference room with a "deng deng deng" sound of her high heels.

After all three leaders had left, Han Rui, who was taking meeting minutes at the end of the conference table, picked up the minutes and walked over. She looked at him with a gaze that clearly looked a bit impressed, with an envious look in her eyes, and said very enthusiastically, "Zhao De, is Minister Su Qing of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department your cousin?"

Seeing this ugly girl looking like she was fawning over power, Zhao De's hit self-esteem was slightly comforted. He thought to himself, Chief Lan doesn't give me face, but there are still people who give me face. So he felt a bit useful in his heart, nodded twice, and said, "Yes."

"Chief Lan is just that kind of person, she seems to find everyone unpleasant. Director Zheng and Deputy Director Ma both think highly of you, and besides, your written test score is first place, you must have strength." Han Rui revealed an intention to get closer to him in her words.

Zhao De chuckled and said, "I'll give you the materials."

"Fine, just hand it to me, I'll help you organize the materials and build the file as soon as possible." Han Rui said enthusiastically.

"Then I'll trouble you." Zhao De said while handing over the materials he brought, "If there's nothing else, I can go now, right?"

"Yes, you can." Han Rui took the materials and said with a "hehe."

If Han Rui were a beauty, he wouldn't want to leave so early, but her appearance really made Zhao De feel very uncomfortable, so he wanted to leave quickly.

"That's fine, I'll go first." Zhao De said, stood up, and walked out of the conference room.

Coming out of the office building and seeing Chief Lan's car parked in the square in front of the building, Zhao De really wanted to rush up and kick it twice to vent his anger. Passing by the car, he suddenly had a bad idea. He stopped and looked around, finding that there was no one around, so he walked to the car, looked around, and squatted down sneakily. With lightning speed, he opened the valve on the car tire, then quickly stood up and walked out. Walking out of the gate of the Construction Committee and looking back, the tire he had pulled the valve from was already flat, and a strange smile squeezed from the corner of his mouth.

Let you stinky woman show off in front of me, this is a meeting gift for you, Chief Lan! Zhao De thought to himself, which counted as venting his anger slightly.

Just as he was standing at the gate of the Construction Committee feeling happy for having taken revenge, his mobile phone vibrated a few times. A message came. Taking it out and looking, it was from Zheng Ru, "Zhao De, how was the interview? Is that woman surnamed Lan difficult to provoke? I saw her come to the Planning Division looking unhappy. You didn't provoke her during the interview just now, did you?"

"You were really right, that woman is really not a good thing, she made things difficult for me during the interview." Zhao De replied.

"Haha, then you'll have a hard time in the future. Alright, I have to work. If she sees me sending messages all the time, she'll definitely lose her temper again. Let's talk when we have time."

I just don't believe it. When I was at the Yuyang City Coal Bureau, I played all the leaders inside around. I don't believe that you, a Chief surnamed Lan, can make things difficult for me. I want to see how powerful you really are! Zhao De thought to himself. The more difficult it was in front, the more interested he felt. It's fun to meet an equal opponent!

On the way back in the car, Su Qing also found time in her busy schedule to send him a message, "How is it? The interview today should be very smooth, right? When will they let you go to work?"

Smooth my ass! I originally thought it was just a formality, but I didn't expect to meet an opponent. Zhao De thought, and pressed his phone to send a message to Sister Su, "It passed, they let me go to work on Monday, but the process was not so smooth."

After reading the message, Su Qing felt a bit surprised, thinking, could it be that Zheng the Bald Donkey and Ma Debang didn't even give her face? Were the things said at the dinner table all big empty words? "What's going on? Is that Zheng still making a fuss because of what happened that night?"

"It has nothing to do with Director Zheng, but a small episode occurred in the middle. It's a long story. I'll tell you slowly in person when Sister Su comes back." Zhao De replied, feeling that sending a message didn't explain it clearly. When Sister Su comes back, he would "complain" properly in front of her and slander that stinky woman surnamed Lan.

Returning to Su Qing's house to wait for her to get off work, Zhao De thought about the bad thing he did to Chief Lan's car when he left. Seeing that it was almost time for the Construction Committee to get off work, he called Zheng Ru to find out what reaction Chief Lan had after discovering that her car tire had been deflated. "Zhao De, what's the matter with calling?" Zheng Ru answered the phone and said with a light laugh, as if she was gloating because Zhao De was made difficult by Chief Lan today.

"Off work yet?" Zhao De asked.

"Just off work, otherwise how would I dare to answer the phone." Zheng Ru said.

"Oh, then did you come out of the office building?"

"Just came out." Zheng Ru said, suddenly saying in a very low voice, "Chief Lan is following behind me."

"Is that so? I saw a red Accord in front of the office building that looked quite beautiful. Whose car is that?" Zhao De diverted the topic to Lan Mei's car.

"Who else could it be, it must be Chief Lan's." Zheng Ru said contemptuously, "Who else would drive such a brightly colored car besides her."

Zhao De said "oh." Just then, he suddenly heard a "bang" sound in the background of the phone. "What sound is that?" he asked.

Zheng Ru was also startled by this sound. Looking back, it turned out that just now Lan Mei got into the car and started the car, preparing to make a U-turn. When she started, because one tire had no air, the car made a hard landing when coming down from the steps. The steel rim hit the ground hard, shaking Lan Mei in the car and causing her to hit her head directly on the steering wheel. Holding her forehead, she got out of the car to see what was going on, and discovered that one tire was flat. She was so angry that she kicked the car hard with her high heels. ===== CHAPTER 647 =====
