Chapter 676: Division Chief Lan, sorry

Zhao Desan chuckled, looked at the extra empty bed, and said, "Then I'll stay in that bed?"

"Right." Xia Jian said, "Anyway, I go home to sleep at night, this is just for resting at noon. If you have nowhere to stay at night, just sleep in my bed."

"Does Comrade Xiao Zhao also go home to sleep at night?" Zhao Desan asked.

"No." Comrade Xiao Zhao shook his head, "I stay here." Comrade Xiao Zhao joined the unit last year and also came from a prefecture-level city in Hexi Province. He had only been working for a year and hadn't bought a house in Xijing City yet.

Zhao Desan said "Oh," walked to the empty bed, and sat down. Xia Jian followed and sat down on the side. The sleepiness from just now was gone, and he handed him a cigarette to light up, chatting while puffing away. However, his words seemed to revolve around one theme, intentionally or unintentionally inquiring about Zhao Desan's family background. Zhao Desan also knew what kind of person he was and gave ambiguous evasions. Comrade Xiao Zhao, sitting on the opposite bed, wasn't interested in Xia Jian's topic, playing Qin opera on his phone while listening and singing along in a low voice.

It just so happened that Zhao Desan didn't want to be endlessly questioned by Xia Jian about his family background, so he asked Comrade Xiao Zhao with a smile: "Comrade Xiao Zhao, you also like Qin opera?"

Comrade Xiao Zhao nodded. Xia Jian asked Zhao Desan with a mischievous smile: "Do you know why Comrade Xiao Zhao likes Qin opera?"

Zhao Desan shook his head in ignorance. "He gets yelled at by his wife at home, yelled at by leaders at the unit, and only when he sings Qin opera is it Comrade Xiao Zhao's turn to yell at others." Xia Jian said with a loud laugh, which amused Zhao Desan and made Comrade Xiao Zhao on the opposite side blush with shyness.

Because of Zhao Desan's arrival, the three of them didn't rest all noon, smoking and chatting all noon. When they went to work in the afternoon, as soon as they walked into the office, they saw Han Rui directing two men to arrange tables and chairs in the Planning Division office, making the original layout messy. Xia Jian hurriedly went up to stop Han Rui and asked: "Great beauty Han, what is this for?"

"Division Chief Lan arranged for Zhao Desan's desk and chair to be sent over this morning, and they just delivered them." Han Rui stated the reason.

Xia Jian looked at her with a strange gaze and asked with a smile: "Wow! Great beauty Han, what's going on today, why is your work efficiency so high?"

"Division Chief Lan arranged it." Han Rui said, her eyes conveying a signal that Xia Jian understood. He smiled tacitly.

After Han Rui arranged for people to set up Zhao Desan's desk and chair and left, Xia Jian whispered in Zhao Desan's ear: "See that? Your treatment is not ordinary. When Comrade Xiao Zhao first came last year, there was no desk, and the General Office dragged it out for a week before handling it. Brother, I think highly of you."

Zhao Desan smiled naturally and said: "Brother Xia, hurry up and work, don't let Division Chief Lan criticize us again when she comes later." Saying this, he walked up, took the documents Zheng Ru had given him in the morning from Zheng Ru's desk, walked to his own desk, sat down, and began to study earnestly.

Hearing the sound of high heels "clack, clack, clack" hitting the floor in the corridor outside the office, Xia Jian hurriedly returned to his seat, sat down, grabbed the materials on the table, and began to pretend to work.

A moment later, the person who came in was Zheng Ru, and Xia Jian breathed a sigh of relief.

As soon as Zheng Ru entered the office and found that the layout had changed and there was an extra desk, she knew what was going on and said with a smile: "Zhao Desan, your desk and chair are all set up."
