Chapter 796

~6 min read 1,046 words

In previous meetings, Lan Mei had always been arrogant, holding her head high and looking down on everyone. But in this meeting today, Zheng the Bald Donkey named her ex-husband to make an analogy. Although they were divorced, those who had worked in the Construction Committee for a few years knew she was Fang Jun's ex-wife. Now that he had violated discipline and was investigated by the Commission for Discipline Inspection for bribery and corruption, as his ex-wife, Lan Mei felt hot on her face and couldn't hang on. She lowered her head, and her two cheeks turned red because she truly couldn't hang on.

Zhao De had been secretly observing Lan Mei's changes. A woman who was so high-profile in the past was now lowering her head and saying nothing like a prisoner being criticized in the Cultural Revolution. It seems Zheng Ru's guess was right. The reason she was inexplicably angry at people today was absolutely related to her face not being glorious after her ex-husband was investigated and punished by the Commission for Discipline Inspection.

"See? Our Division Chief Lan's face is red." Xia Jian on the side also observed the changes on Division Chief Lan's face, poked Zhao De's arm, and whispered gloatingly.

Zhao De glanced at him sideways and didn't make a sound. Although Division Chief Lan inexplicably got angry at him in the morning, seeing her being used as an example by Zheng the Bald Donkey in front of so many people in the meeting and deliberately looking at her, making her face unable to hang on, he couldn't help but feel a bit sympathetic. Perhaps it was because he had some ill-intentioned thoughts about this beautiful young woman with a good figure and appearance, or perhaps he was already used to Division Chief Lan's arrogance, and now seeing her sitting there with her head down and losing face, he couldn't help but feel a bit sympathetic.

Zheng the Bald Donkey, while talking eloquently to everyone in the unit, instilled the idea that a public servant should be selfless and dedicated to the people, and from time to time used his right hand to move the Vacheron Constantin watch worth 300,000 yuan that Zhao De offered him on his left wrist. The theme of this meeting today was very serious. Perhaps it was related to the immediate interests of everyone present, or perhaps everyone had taken some benefits more or less by relying on their power as public officials. The atmosphere of the meeting was very serious and oppressive. Even except for a few leaders, others didn't even dare to breathe.

When the meeting had been held for more than an hour, the conference room door was suddenly pushed open by a gap from the outside. A middle-aged man with a decent appearance looked inside and waved at Zheng the Bald Donkey. This person's status might be unusual. As soon as Zheng the Bald Donkey saw him, he nodded with a smile, then pulled a long face and said seriously, "Let Deputy Director Ma speak first." He turned around and whispered to Ma Debang. Ma Debang nodded, and Zheng the Bald Donkey went out.

The eyes of everyone in the unit followed him and moved to the door. Watching him go out of the conference room and close the door, Ma Debang took over Zheng the Bald Donkey's topic and began to talk about those big truths that everyone in the officialdom understood but were very difficult to do. "That wasn't from our unit just now, right?" Zhao De asked Xia Jian on the side curiously in a low voice.

"Don't know." Xia Jian shook his head.

Zhao De felt a bit strange. Generally, people who came to handle things couldn't push the door open directly and impolitely like this in the conference room, and Zheng the Bald Donkey seemed to be very afraid of the person who came. Just as he was wondering, the door was pushed open again. The person who came in this time was Zheng the Bald Donkey. I don't know what he was called out to be told. After coming in, his face looked a bit bad. He walked directly to Lan Mei opposite him, bent down and whispered a few words in her ear. Only then did Lan Mei raise her rosy face, wrinkle her willow eyebrows slightly, and a trace of uneasiness flashed in her eyes. She looked as if she was very uneasy, nodded, put down her pen, got up, and followed him out of the conference room.

After a while, only Zheng the Bald Donkey came in and sat down again. Lan Mei didn't appear in the conference room again. This unexpected change made Zhao De feel a bit puzzled. From Zheng the Bald Donkey's face, he also vaguely sensed that something had happened, and couldn't help but worry about whether Division Chief Lan would have any trouble.

Sure enough, just as he guessed, not long after Zheng the Bald Donkey sat down again, after Ma Debang handed over the right to speak to him, he said with a serious expression, "Everyone has seen it. Just now, people from the Commission for Discipline Inspection took our Planning Division's Division Chief Lan away for questioning. It's also about the corruption problem of Fang Jun of the ******. Although they divorced, once it involves anyone, the Commission for Discipline Inspection will absolutely not let go of others who have interest relationships. So everyone must perform their duties diligently in work and life. Corruption and bribery are illegal and disciplinary problems that cannot be committed..."

"Division Chief Lan was taken away by the Commission for Discipline Inspection for questioning." Xia Jian poked Zhao De's arm and whispered gloatingly. Zhao De was thinking about this matter, said "Oh," and didn't say a word. As far as these people in the Planning Division were concerned, Division Chief Lan could be considered the best to him. Except for having a prejudice against him when he first came to work, she had been quite kind to him during this period, especially when he bit the bullet and borrowed money, she also tried her best to lend him 100,000 yuan. Thinking of these, Zhao De couldn't gloat at all.
