Afternoon.
Dong Xuebing got off work.
Dong Xuebing took the bus back home and lay on his bed. He looked at the ceiling and thought about today's events and work.
Dong Xuebing has two problems.
First, which team should he side with?
Second, how should he do his job? How should he get results?
The rest are minor issues. If Dong Xuebing wants to be promoted and transferred back, these two issues must be met. He needs to get some results, and the local leaders will recommend him. Dong Xuebing can then use Xie Huilan's connections to get a promotion. That's why getting results is important. If not, the local leaders will suppress you, take away your power, and split your achievements. Furthermore, the local leaders' evaluations are also important for the organization. But after thinking for a while, Dong Xuebing could not make up his mind. He felt he is too impatient and needs time to familiarize himself with the working environment here.
Too impatient to get results.
Too eager to show off.
This would also give people the impression that they were immature, which was not good.
Dong Xuebing calmed himself down and looked at his watch. It's past 6 pm, and he is hungry. But there are no dishes at home. What should he eat?
If he knew this would happen, he would have bought some groceries.
Alright. I should go out and see if there are any restaurants around.
Ring, ring, ring … Dong Xuebing's phone rang. It's Yao Cui.
"Xuebing, have you eaten?"
"I am about to go."
"Then come over to my place for dinner?"
"No. I had eaten at your place several times these few days, and I will feel bad if I go over again."
"What's wrong with that? Do you still treat me as an outsider? How about I go over to your place to cook for you? "
"No need. Don't come over. You are the one who helped me clean up the house that day. It's not appropriate."
"Are you afraid it will affect my reputation? But I am your secretary, and it should be fine. Errr … I am not sure. No one in our County dares to hire a secretary of the opposite sex. Your wife is not here, and it might … Never mind. Why don't you go out for dinner? "
"It's fine if it will affect your reputation. I am afraid you will be tired. After work, we will be classmates. Oh, I am ordering you to clean up my room and cook for me. What kind of person am I?"
"You're just being polite with me!"
"Hehe, I really didn't."
"Alright, call me if there's anything. As the secretary of a big leader like you, one of my duties is to be on call. In the afternoon, a friend told me something, and I think it makes sense. She said that a secretary's working hours are 24 hours a day without rest."
"It's not that exaggerated."
"Anyway, just call me when it's time to call me."
"Okay, I'll call you if I need anything."
"Okay, then hurry up and eat."
After hanging up, Dong Xuebing smiled. He was glad to have an old classmate with him. She could help him with his work and also chat with him. Others might not understand this feeling, but Dong Xuebing felt good. After all, at his level, no one in Zhen Shui County can speak to him in a normal manner. If Dong Xuebing had any emotions, worries, or conflicts, he could not tell others. But to Yao Cui, he could tell her that it was good to have an old friend around. Yao Cui was a good friend.
After going downstairs, Dong Xuebing went out to look for a restaurant.
There were a few restaurants outside the quarters. But Dong Xuebing went to a few restaurants and felt they were dirty. Dong Xuebing lost his appetite when he saw those restaurants. It's not that Dong Xuebing is picky. If this is Beijing, it's fine. Beijing has a lot of snacks and specialties. Those run-down restaurants can cook better than those fancy restaurants. For example, braised pork, stir-fried liver. Sometimes, the dirtier the restaurant is, the better the food. But this place does not have braised pork or stir-fried liver. It's just an ordinary stir-fried food restaurant. Dong Xuebing lost his appetite when he saw this place. He looked around but could not find any vegetable markets. He is not familiar with this place. He can't find a restaurant, and he can't find a place to buy groceries. Takeaway? It'll be weird if there's KFC or McDonald's here!
Fine. Let's go back.
So be it if I'm hungry.
Dong Xuebing was still young, and he did not think too much about it. He turned around and walked back to the front door of the quarters. The environment here is ordinary. It's the same as the County's Party Committee Compound. All the buildings here are old buildings. There are no greenery or facilities. Using an idiom to describe this place, it's a horrible sight. Every time Dong Xuebing enters the estate, he has the urge to cover his eyes. It's too old-fashioned.
Downstairs.
This is the second building in the district.
Just when Dong Xuebing was about to reach his unit, he saw a beautiful figure from the corner of his eye. She was stunning.
It's Jiang Fangfang!
Zhen Shui County's Mayor!
Dong Xuebing was stunned and stopped in his tracks.
Dong Xuebing remembered Mayor Jiang was wearing a light-colored business suit at the County Government office during the day. But now, Mayor Jiang is wearing a trendy outfit, and it doesn't match the environment in this district. She must have changed her clothes after returning home. This is normal, and Xie Huilan also does this frequently. After all, the Mayor and Deputy Mayor will not dress so casually at work, or people will gossip about them. But after work, it's fine. At this moment, Jiang Fangfang was wearing a pair of pure white trousers. It was very loose, and the material looked very thin. She was wearing a pair of black high heels and a layer of black stockings. On her upper body, she was wearing a wine-red women's suit jacket. With her hair coiled up, her outfit was very eye-catching!
She's so beautiful!
It's hard to imagine such a beautiful woman living in such an old-fashioned county. Although Jiang Fangfang is not young, she is still very attractive.
"Mayor Jiang." Dong Xuebing greeted.
Jiang Fangfang turned around and nodded. "Oh, it's you, Mayor Dong."
Dong Xuebing looks at Jiang Fangfang, who is standing in front of the rubbish bin. "Are you taking out the rubbish?"
Jiang Fangfang nodded. "I did not take care of it for the past few days, and I took out all the rubbish today. Didn't you get off work early? Have you gone out for lunch? "
Dong Xuebing smiled. "Not yet."
"What's wrong?" Jiang Fangfang asked.
"The food in the restaurants outside … Hmmm … I don't like it."
"Are you going to starve?"
"I am not hungry anyway. I will go out again at night."
Jiang Fangfang threw the last rubbish bag into the rubbish bin and turned to look at Dong Xuebing. "Even if you are still young, you must be careful."
"Ok. I will buy some groceries later."
Dong Xuebing and Jiang Fangfang entered the building. This building is for the County Government's leaders and their families, and this unit is for the County Government's leaders. That's why Jiang Fangfang is also staying here. But Dong Xuebing is staying downstairs, and Mayor Jiang is staying upstairs.
Both of them walked up the stairs side by side.
But Mayor Jiang is Dong Xuebing's supervisor, and Dong Xuebing had to take a step back. When Mayor Jiang walks up the second step, Dong Xuebing took the first step to show his respect. But this made Dong Xuebing feel uncomfortable. Jiang Fangfang's character and way of doing things are always slow. It's the same when they walk up the stairs. Jiang Fangfang is walking very slowly and is not in a hurry. Dong Xuebing had met female leaders in the past, like Xu Yan, Geng Yuehua, and even Xie Huilan are fast. But this is the first time Dong Xuebing met a calm female leader like Jiang Fangfang.
After a long time, both of them reached the third floor.
Dong Xuebing is an impatient person, and this is the slowest climb he had ever taken in his life. Furthermore, he is walking with a beautiful woman like Mayor Jiang. His heart is racing, and his forehead is covered with sweat. But his eyes are still looking at Jiang Fangfang's beautiful body. The more he looks at her, the more he wants her.
"You are staying on this floor?" Jiang Fangfang looks at Dong Xuebing.
Dong Xuebing replied. "Yes. I am staying here."
"Wait for me for a while." Jiang Fangfang walked up the stairs.
Dong Xuebing was stunned and did not understand what she means. Wait for you? Why should I wait for you? Isn't your house upstairs?
Since Mayor Jiang had spoken, Dong Xuebing did not hesitate and did not even enter the door. He stood outside and looked upstairs.
About five minutes passed.
Thud … thud … thud … thud … thud … thud … thud …
Jiang Fangfang's beautiful figure floated down from the upper floor. She walked very quietly and no one could see the sway of her body. She really looked like a fairy descending to the mortal world.
But Dong Xuebing was surprised to see Jiang Fangfang holding a plastic bag in her hands. There are vegetables, meat, and eggs in the plastic bag.
"What are you doing?" Dong Xuebing was puzzled.
Jiang Fangfang replied coldly. "I am living alone and have not eaten. Let's eat together." "You are from Beijing and have never lived in such an environment. I know you are not used to it, and you don't like the restaurants and markets. Actually, it is not far from here, but it's a bit remote. I will tell you about it later, and you will get to know it." Dong Xuebing said as he entered Dong Xuebing's apartment.
Dong Xuebing was stunned for a second and quickly closes the door behind him. "Thank you. Let me cook, and you can try my cooking."
"Maybe next time. I will cook today."
"No! How can you do that?!"
"It's fine. Just watch TV."
Dong Xuebing was sweating. "Mayor Jiang, I really can't cook."
Jiang Fangfang did not say anything and walked to the kitchen. She turned on the tap and started to wash the vegetables. Dong Xuebing could not see any expression on her face, and she looks like she is smiling.
"Let me wash, let me wash."
"Alright. It's fine."
Dong Xuebing was surprised. Let the Mayor cook for him personally? This is putting him in a difficult position! Mayor Jiang is a real county level leader!
Is she trying to rope me in?!
How is this possible?!
Even if she wants to rope Dong Xuebing in … a Mayor will not lower himself to cook for a Deputy Mayor.
