Meng Xinian paused for a moment when he heard that Deputy Du had managed to borrow Cheng Cheng.
"I've heard that Cheng Cheng has quite a temper—does his own thing, never participates in these kinds of temporary assignments."
Deputy Du, hearing this, internally wanted to roll his eyes.
Anyone else saying this would have been perfectly reasonable because Cheng Cheng really is like that. But somehow, hearing it from Meng Xinian felt strangely wrong.
Because Meng Xinian is exactly that kind of person!
A guy who has a difficult personality, does his own thing all the time, criticizing someone else for the same… It's just bizarre.
"I used to work in Province X, and I have a pretty good relationship with their deputy commander. After some persuasion and agreeing to a few conditions, they finally agreed to let him go."
Meng Xinian glanced at him.
Deputy Du could say that to others and maybe they'd buy it.
