Chapter 691

Having escaped from Division Chief Lan unscathed, Xia Xia Xia Xia Jian lifted his chin with an air of arrogance and said, "Pfft, beautiful Zheng, what did you think Division Chief Lan could do to me? I'm perfectly fine, not a hair missing. You guys don't need to be so afraid of her; she's just a paper tiger." Xia Xia Xia Xia Jian began to show off again, forgetting the task Division Chief Lan had given him, forgetting to tell Zhao De, and began to gesture wildly in the Planning Division, bragging about his own abilities to the other three.

Zheng Ru detested this guy and didn't even bother to look at him. Little Zhao focused on his work. Only Zhao De, being a newcomer, occasionally chuckled to save face for him.

Lan Mei had been waiting in her office for quite a while, but Zhao De still hadn't come over. Moreover, Xia Xia Xia Xia Jian was bragging loudly in the next office. Hearing him boast, Lan Mei thought, *I just spared you because you're a veteran comrade, and you're actually pushing your luck? * Furious, she slammed her desk, stood up, and walked toward the next room.

As the saying goes, "Show off and get struck by lightning." Xia Xia Xia Xia Jian was showing off a bit too much. When Lan Mei stood at the door of the Planning Division office with an angry face, Xia Xia Xia Xia Jian was still standing in the middle of the room, bragging hard to Zhao De. Zhao De noticed Division Chief Lan's cold, aloof face appearing at the door, so he immediately turned his head, lowered it, and pretended to be seriously reading documents, while secretly observing her from the corner of his eye, feeling a bit gleeful.

After bragging for a while, Xia Xia Xia Xia Jian seemed to sense something was wrong. Why was no one willing to listen to his glorious deeds anymore? Little Zhao coughed and gave him a look. Only then did Xia Xia Xia Xia Jian understand. His eyebrows arched slightly, his eyes filled with fear, his face turned pale, and with a look of extreme panic and unease, he slowly turned around and put on a fawning smile for Lan Mei, who was watching coldly from the door.

"You continue! It would be a pity to stop when you're being so entertaining!" Lan Mei narrowed her eyes, glared at him with a vicious look, and spoke in a slow, measured tone.
