Chapter 795
Lan Mei seemed not to have heard him speak. She didn't even look at him, walked out of the elevator with her head held high and her chest out, looking cold and arrogant. Watching her swaying her graceful and exquisite figure and walking forward, Zhao De pursed his lips, squeezed his nose, and stretched out his foot, making a gesture to replace her. He could only show off his power by making gestures behind Division Chief Lan's back like this. Seeing Division Chief Lan walk to the office door, a figure suddenly rushed out from the Planning Division. Not paying attention, it was a Mars hitting the Earth, directly bumping Division Chief Lan back a few steps and making her stagger.
Seeing Division Chief Lan almost falling backward, it was too late to say it was fast. Zhao De was quick-eyed and quick-handed. He quickly took three steps in two, rushed over in a few strides, supported Division Chief Lan, and said with a grin, "Division Chief Lan, are you okay?"
After Lan Mei stood up straight, she directly pushed away his hand that was supporting her back and arm. Without even saying a thank you, she cursed at Xia Jian, who was standing in front of her with an extremely embarrassed look, "Are you in a hurry to reincarnate! Are you blind!" After cursing, she hummed, held her head high, turned around, and walked into her office. The door was then slammed shut with a "clatter."
Watching her enter the office, Xia Jian, whose face was scared white, whispered to Zhao De, "Is she in menopause? She ate gunpowder today, why is she so angry?"
Zhao De glanced at Division Chief Lan's office door, and for a moment, he was also a monk who couldn't figure it out. He whispered, "I was given a face downstairs just now. Who knows? Her personality is just that strange."
Xia Jian waved his fist at Division Chief Lan's office door with dissatisfaction, pouted, and regained some face in front of Zhao De.
"Why are you rushing so fast?" Zhao De asked, remembering that scene just now.
"Preparing to go to the toilet. I won't say anymore, I'm going to the toilet." As he spoke, Xia Jian went directly toward the toilet at the end of the corridor, and Zhao De returned to the office.
"You're here." Seeing him come in, Zheng Ru, who had already arrived early, turned her head and greeted him with a smile.
"Mhm." Zhao De nodded, walked to his seat, and sat down to start doing his own work. Because Zheng the Bald Donkey had been particularly enthusiastic toward him during this period, Zhao De, for fear of people in the unit gossiping, intentionally alienated his relationship with her. If there were no dealings in work, he wouldn't take the initiative to talk to her. Several times Zheng Ru meant to go to the cinema to watch a movie with him after work, but he declined politely.
"Was Division Chief Lan scolding Xia Jian outside just now?" Zheng Ru leaned over and asked him in a low voice. She had heard Division Chief Lan's loud scolding at the door inside just now.
"Yes, Xia Jian rushed out and almost bumped Division Chief Lan over." Thinking of that scene just now, Zhao De felt funny. He thought if it weren't for him being quick-eyed and quick-handed and rushing up to support Division Chief Lan, she would probably have been bumped over by Xia Jian long ago. However, she didn't seem to appreciate his good intentions. Not only did she not say a thank you, but she also pushed away his hand supporting her arm with great disgust.
"Really?" Zheng Ru widened her eyes and asked in surprise, looking gloating. "I said why did Division Chief Lan suddenly go crazy? It's Xia Jian again. Does Division Chief Lan have a prejudice against him?"
"I don't know. Division Chief Lan is a bit strange today, her temper is very big. I was scolded downstairs just now," Zhao De said.
Zheng Ru leaned over mysteriously and whispered, "You don't know, Division Chief Lan's ex-husband was investigated by the Commission for Discipline Inspection. Could it be because of this matter that it affected her?"
Reminded by her, Zhao De remembered this matter. He thought, maybe Zheng Ru is right. It is very likely that it was because of this matter that it affected Division Chief Lan's mood. Although she divorced Fang Jun, as the saying goes, a day as husband and wife is a hundred days of kindness. At least they slept in the same bed. Even if Division Chief Lan was cold-blooded and had no feelings, it was impossible for her to have no feelings when her ex-husband was investigated by the Commission for Discipline Inspection and his official career ended. "It's possible." Zhao De nodded in agreement.
"So you must be careful recently, don't provoke her if you have nothing to do," Zheng Ru said.
"Dong dong dong." At this time, the office door was knocked three times. Zheng Ru and Zhao De turned their heads to look in unison. They saw it was Han Rui from the Comprehensive Office. She bloomed with a smile that "toppled" the crowd and said, "Meeting at nine o'clock."
"What meeting on Monday?" Zheng Ru asked, completely bewildered.
"Party style and clean government construction meeting, Director Zheng just notified. Participate on time," Han Rui said. After the notification was in place, she turned around and went to knock on Division Chief Lan's office door again.
Sure enough, it seems that the province's actions are very big this time. Having been at work for half a year, this was the first time the unit held a meeting of this nature, Zhao De thought. He looked at the watch on his wrist, there was still half an hour, so he took this time to send a text to Zhao Xue asking about her mom's surgery this year. Learning that the surgery was arranged at ten o'clock and everything was ready, only then did he feel at ease.
"I heard that because Division Chief Lan's ex-husband was investigated by the Commission for Discipline Inspection and had problems, the province attaches great importance to this matter this time," Zheng Ru whispered to Zhao De.
"Anyway, it has nothing to do with us," Zhao De said disapprovingly.
"Don't forget you also have this kind of bribery and corruption behavior," Zheng Ru whispered.
Zhao De was stunned, raised his eyebrows, and said, "What am I afraid of? Are you going to report me? Aren't you afraid of offering your dad up?"
"Go, don't talk nonsense. Don't talk nonsense at this juncture," Zheng Ru warned nervously. At the same time, thinking of the time he came to her house to give her dad a gift, she couldn't hang on her face.
Zhao De smiled triumphantly. Seeing the unit's QQ group flashing in the lower right corner of the computer screen, he clicked twice to open the window. It turned out to be Han Rui sending a group message in the group to notify about the meeting. He simply closed the chat window.
After about twenty minutes, Zhao De saw that the time was about right. He took his black leather notebook and signature pen from the table, got up, and called Zheng Ru to go to the conference room. Because he was scolded by Division Chief Lan after being late for the first meeting, he was more active than anyone else every time he attended a meeting in the future. He would rather go to the conference room early and wait for a while than be late for a minute.
After arriving at the conference room, colleagues from other departments had also arrived. Only a few leaders hadn't entered the venue yet. A red banner hung in the most conspicuous place behind the rostrum, with the words "Hexi Provincial Construction Committee Party Style and Clean Government Construction Special Meeting" in white characters. Perhaps everyone had heard about the unrest in the officialdom recently, and everyone was whispering to each other and talking about these things. Zhao De and Zheng Ru found seats and sat down. After a few minutes, Zheng the Bald Donkey and Ma Debang entered one after another and sat down. Division Chief Lan didn't walk into the conference room until the meeting time was about to arrive, looking thoughtful and very unhappy. She sat in the seat she often sat in, spread out her notebook, and kept her head down.
Zheng the Bald Donkey lit a cigarette, smoked while slowly scanning from left to right. Seeing that the people in the unit were almost all together, he took a puff of the cigarette, extinguished the cigarette butt in the ashtray at hand, and said with a serious expression, "Quiet down, we are holding a meeting now."
The whispering conference room suddenly became quiet and became silent. Zheng the Bald Donkey's serious appearance was rarely seen. Everyone sat upright, holding a notebook in one hand and a pen in the other, preparing to record his golden words at any time.
After the conference room became quiet, Zheng the Bald Donkey took a look at his phone, put it aside, took a sip of the tea Han Rui brought to moisten his throat, and said, "The theme of our meeting today is on the wall behind me. This theme is to convey the meaning of the Provincial Committee. Everyone also knows that party style and clean government construction in the second half of this year is an important work of the Provincial Committee. As a functional department directly under the Hexi Provincial Committee and Provincial Government, although from the current point of view, our unit's style and discipline are quite good and there is no bad atmosphere of violating organizational discipline and regulations, it is still necessary to hold this meeting to convey the meaning of the Provincial Committee, so that the broad masses of cadre and party member comrades can attach great importance to the importance of party style and clean government, maintain a clear head in daily work, and don't ruin your bright future because of greed for immediate interests. Take the recent high-profile investigation of a Fang-surname cadre of the ****** by the Commission for Discipline Inspection, I think everyone should have heard of it. So don't have a fluke mentality. You must attach great importance to your usual principles, whether in work or life, and absolutely must not violate organizational discipline and regulations. Don't be like our ****** comrade surnamed Fang who was finally investigated by the Commission for Discipline Inspection." Speaking of this, Zheng the Bald Donkey paused for a moment and deliberately turned his face to look at Lan Mei on the side.
