Chapter 922

Because Lan Mei's voice was a bit loud, the employees eating in the cafeteria gathered their eyes on her involuntarily. Lan Mei realized that she was a bit out of control. Being watched by so many people, she and Zhao De felt a bit hot on their faces. So she glared at Zhao De fiercely and whispered, "Come to my office later, I have something to say to you!" After speaking, she left without even eating her meal.

After Division Chief Lan left, Zhao De felt something was wrong. Why did Division Chief Lan react so strongly? Unless he misunderstood her. But he still didn't understand. Regarding the matter of going to the Party School for study, first, Sister Su personally called Zheng Zheng Zheng Zheng Tulu to greet him, and second, the meeting decided, at least listen to the opinions of the department leaders. Xia Xia Xia Xia Jian and he were in the same Planning Division, Zheng Zheng Zheng Zheng Tulu at least had to listen to her opinion. Why was it decided to send Xia Xia Xia Xia Jian, not him? He really couldn't understand.

He took a few bites of food, had no heart to eat, and left the cafeteria directly. Zheng Ru, not far away, clearly saw the scene just now and knew that Zhao De was very angry because he couldn't go to the Party School for study. He was usually so humorous and witty, but he didn't say a word all morning. The small-mindedness and revenge psychology of women made Zheng Ru feel a sense of schadenfreude when she saw Zhao De so angry, and a cold smile squeezed out of the corner of her mouth.

Coming out of the cafeteria, Zhao De went straight upstairs. As Division Chief Lan said, he came to the second floor and knocked on her office door.

Lan Mei knew it was him, so she responded in a lukewarm tone, "Come in."

Zhao De pushed the door and went in. Lan Mei didn't say anything, just stared at him with an eerie gaze. Zhao De knew that the words he said in the cafeteria just now were too subjective. As for whether Division Chief Lan spoke for Xia Xia Xia Xia Jian in the meeting, he was not qualified to attend the meeting and didn't know at all. In the cafeteria, it was just his guess. Now, because he was worried that Division Chief Lan would make things difficult for him, his emotions gradually calmed down, and he didn't dare to look at her eyes that made people shudder.

Seeing him standing at the door without saying a word, Lan Mei asked him in a provocative tone, "Why don't you speak? Where did that momentum just now go?"

"Division Chief Lan, you know I attach great importance to this opportunity to go to the Party School for study. I tried every means to work in secret, and I thought this opportunity was 100% mine, but... but I didn't expect it to be a joy in vain in the end. I really... really don't understand why it is like this? Why is it Xia Xia Xia Xia Jian?" Zhao De suppressed his anger, softened his tone, and vented his dissatisfaction.

"You want to know why, right? Alright, then I'll tell you." Lan Mei's tone didn't soften at all, and her gaze was still eerie, "When the meeting was held to study this matter that day, I was the first to recommend you, and Deputy Division Chief Ma also recommended you. I don't know what kind of conflict you have with Director Zheng, but he didn't agree with you going at all. The person he recommended himself was Xia Xia Xia Xia Jian. Think about it, he recommended Xia Xia Xia Xia Jian, what would other leaders do? You should know that no one is willing to go against his ideas. You also understand the organization's system. This kind of thing is the minority obeying the majority. More than a dozen leaders, in the end, only I voted against it. The result is imaginable, clear?"

After listening to Division Chief Lan's words, Zhao De understood the truth of the matter, but he still didn't understand. He looked at her blankly and softened his tone, "Division Chief Lan, then why didn't you tell me this decision in advance? Even if you couldn't help me, at least I could... could let my cousin help me."

Seeing that he still complained about her, Lan Mei said anxiously, "Do you know why I didn't tell you? I was afraid you wouldn't be happy, I was thinking for you. Little Zhao, I tell you, there are too many infighting and power struggles in the unit, and I have no energy or interest to take care of them. This time, I considered your feelings, so I didn't tell you, but you turned around and complained about me because of this."

Lan Mei's words made Zhao De understand that she was kind enough not to tell him about this, and he misunderstood her. So he lowered his head and apologized sincerely, "Division Chief Lan, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you."

Lan Mei was complained about without rhyme or reason just now, and her good mood was completely affected. She was in a bad mood, softened her tone slightly, and said, "Alright, the words are all clear, you go out."

"Division Chief Lan, you... you are a great person who doesn't remember the villain's mistakes, so don't be angry, okay? I also didn't know the truth of the matter, so... so I misunderstood you. I didn't mean it." Zhao De wrinkled his face and apologized to Division Chief Lan again.

Lan Mei covered her forehead and lowered her head, feeling a bit irritable, "Alright, you go out, let me be quiet for a while."

Seeing Division Chief Lan's irritable appearance, Zhao De whispered, "Then Division Chief Lan, I'll go out." After speaking, he walked out of her office with a very ashamed mood.

Back in the office, Zhao De was still unwilling to miss this opportunity that was so important to him. He wanted to find Zheng Zheng Zheng Zheng Tulu to reason, but he was afraid that it would intensify the conflict between them. If that were the case, his official career in the Construction Committee would probably come to an end. Thinking of the experience Su Bai Jie had told him, in the unit, one must keep highly consistent with the leader's actions and thoughts, and even if there are opinions, they cannot be revealed. If one is too prominent, one will become a target of public criticism, which is not conducive to future development.
