"Then thank you, Brother Xia." Zhao Desan laughed.

After chatting with this Xia Xia Jian for a while, he suddenly walked up a step mysteriously, looked at him with a strange wicked smile, and whispered in his ear, "I heard you are the cousin of the Minister of the Organization Department of the Provincial Committee of Hexi Province?"

Zhao Desan didn't want people to always look at him with colored glasses, but since this guy asked, he could only nod with a shallow smile and didn't say anything.

"Xiao Zhao, you're really something. In the future, let's take care of each other at work. If there's anything you don't understand, just ask Brother." This Xia Xia Jian had already become extraordinarily enthusiastic and called him brother. From this guy's words and deeds, Zhao Desan had already discovered that he must be an old slicker and an old hand. No wonder he was so enthusiastic about him just now; it turned out he was aiming at Sister Su's name.

Zhao Desan smiled. Just at this moment, a girl's surprised cry came from the door: "Zhao Desan, you're here?"

No need to ask, it was Zheng Ru. Zhao Desan turned his head to look, and sure enough, it was her. She walked up with a happy face and said, "Starting work today?"

"Yeah." Zhao Desan nodded with a smile.

"You've been here for a while, right?" Zheng Ru asked with a laugh.

"Not for long." Zhao Desan said. Zheng Ru was still dressed as she was that day, with a tall figure wearing the Construction Committee's summer work uniform, and her whole body exuded the unique atmosphere of a professional woman. Coupled with this beautiful face, she was quite charming. However, coming to work at the Construction Committee today, Zhao Desan couldn't care about having any improper thoughts.

Xia Xia Jian on the side opened his eyes slightly in surprise and asked Zheng Ru, "Xiao Zheng, do you know Xiao Zhao?"

"I know, I sat behind him during the exam." Zheng Ru said.

Zhao Desan found that there were only three sets of desks and chairs in the Planning Division office, so he asked Zheng Ru, "Has our office always been just you, Brother Xia, and Brother Zhao?"

"What Brother Xia, Brother Zhao? Just call them Xiao Xia, Xiao Zhao. Xiao Zhao also came last year, and although Xiao Xia came two years earlier, his age is estimated to be about the same as yours." Although Zheng Ru hadn't been working at the Construction Committee for long, she didn't take the two male seniors on the side seriously at all.

Due to her being the daughter of the top leader of the Construction Committee, Xia Xia Jian on the side opened his mouth, laughed, and didn't refute. Xiao Zhao, who had already entered the working state, smiled shyly.

Zhao Desan laughed, looked at his watch, and it was already 8:02. He said, "Work is starting, right?"

Zheng Ru took out her phone and looked, saying, "It's already started." She looked around the office and continued, "Our office only has three sets of desks and chairs for now. How about you move a stool and squeeze with me first? Let's see how Director Lan arranges it when she comes." As she said this, Zheng Ru looked at him with a strange gaze, as if hinting that coming to the Planning Division today was definitely not a wise move. This woman, Director Lan, was not easy to mess with.

"Will squeezing at one desk affect your work?" Zhao Desan asked her with some concern.

"It's fine. It's not like we'll always be squeezing at one desk. When Director Lan comes, she will arrange it for you." Zheng Ru said generously. She looked back and saw that there happened to be a plastic round stool behind the office door, so she walked up and helped him move it over, placing it beside her desk, saying, "You sit here for now. Director Lan will be here soon. Let's see how she arranges it for you when she comes."

"Okay." Zhao Desan said. Seeing that everyone had returned to their seats, he didn't stand there woodenly anymore. He took off his backpack, placed it in the corner of Zheng Ru's desk, smoothed his buttocks, and prepared to sit down.

Who knew that as soon as his buttocks touched the stool surface and his body weight was applied, perhaps because of his tall figure and heavy weight, as soon as the weight was applied to the plastic round stool, he heard a "crack." The plastic stool couldn't withstand the gravity applied to it and instantly fell apart into several pieces of rotten plastic. At the same time, Zhao Desan sat on the ground with a "thump." Only hearing a "thump" when his buttocks hit the ground, the unexpected "hard landing" of his buttocks made him shout "ah" in a panic. This greeting really gave the other three colleagues a shock.

Zheng Ru and Xia Xia Jian and the others were stunned for a moment, and then they burst into laughter in unison. This ugly state made Zhao Desan, who came to work for the first time, particularly embarrassed. He couldn't stand up in time and wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Just as everyone was laughing at this unexpected scene, suddenly a sharp female voice came from the office door: "Think this is an amusement park! What are you laughing at during work hours!"

Hearing this sudden, extremely serious voice, Zheng Ru and Xia Xia Jian and the others immediately stopped laughing, endured the loud laughter caused by Zhao Desan's comedy, closed their mouths tightly, and lowered their heads.

It was Director Lan. Zhao Desan didn't have time to stand up and looked at the door. He was shocked and was flushed red by his own comical situation. He immediately stood up in a panic, his expression extremely embarrassed. The nameless anger that had surged into his heart as soon as he sat on the ground had already been scared away by Lan Mei. Like a prisoner, he stood with his legs together and his head lowered, not daring to breathe.

"What are you all laughing at during work hours? What's so funny!" Lan Mei's tall figure stood at the door of the Planning Division office, furrowing her thin willow eyebrows, and her red-lipped, white-toothed face was full of disgusted expressions, as if she were not satisfied with everyone in this office.

"Can't even laugh?" Zheng Ru lowered her head and glanced at Director Lan, muttering in a small voice. But at this moment, the office was so quiet that one could hear a needle drop, so her grumbling was heard by Lan Mei. She raised her sharp chin, narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly, and asked unhappily, "Xiao Zheng, what did you say?"

Realizing that this tigress had heard her muttering, Zheng Ru immediately lowered her head and didn't dare to make a sound.

"What do you think the Planning Division needs you people for? Laughing loudly during work hours, think this is a circus! Xia Xia Jian, stop laughing! You are the oldest among you, you are an old comrade, what can you do besides flattering and forming cliques during work hours! And you, Xiao Zhao, you are Juneng, the things handed to you yesterday were a mess, and Xiao Zheng! Your dad put you in the Planning Division for me to manage. You've only been working for a few days, and as soon as you came, you disrupted the order of the Planning Division, laughing and playing during work hours all day long, what are you doing!" Except for Zhao Desan, who had made a fool of himself unexpectedly on his first day, Lan Mei criticized the remaining three people without mercy, and everyone lowered their heads and didn't dare to breathe.

This woman is really not ordinary, not giving Zheng Ru any face at all, Zhao Desan thought. Originally, he wanted to "visit" her when she came, and try to have a good relationship with her. Today, he really learned the power of this woman, which made him stand in place with an embarrassed expression, not knowing how to greet her for a while.

Lan Mei finished scolding these people, turned her head and calmed her emotions, turned her face, raised her willow eyebrows slightly, and looked at Zhao Desan with those disdainful eyes, asking him coldly, "Zhao Desan, you are called Zhao Desan, right? Since you came to work today, remember, don't shout and scream during work hours like them, just be peaceful."
