5 pm.
The office building is closed.
Of course, this working hour is only for the leaders. The rest of the staff will not be able to get off work so early. It will be around 5: 25 pm. Sometimes, they might even work until 6 pm. Today, the Public Security's family was involved in a major incident, and many departments need to work overtime. Only Dong Xuebing, who is a patient, has more free time than the rest. He does not need to care about the rest of the work and only needs to plan the renovation of the quarters. That's why he stayed in his office for half a day.
But this is not Dong Xuebing's area of expertise.
What construction? What engineering? How would he know anything about this? He was completely confused.
In the end, Dong Xuebing understood. He is a County's leader and not a technical expert. Mayor Jiang is right. He only needs to know the general direction, and the rest will be handled by others.
Dong Xuebing called Yao Cui over.
"Mayor Dong, are you looking for me?" Yao Cui entered the office.
Dong Xuebing replied. "Get the County Government Office to prepare a report on the renovation of the government buildings. I need it as soon as possible. I need it tomorrow."
Yao Cui nodded. "Alright. I will get them to do it. Do you have any requests?"
Dong Xuebing thought for a while. "Nothing much. The budget should be within 30 million RMB. I will take a look at it after it is done, and I will make some adjustments."
"Alright." After talking about work, Yao Cui laughed. "Xuebing, it's time to get off work. Are you free tonight? Do you want to have dinner together? "
"I don't think there is a need for high heels." Dong Xuebing replied helplessly. "You had already treated me, and we are old classmates. Why are you so concerned about giving me a pair of shoes?"
Yao Cui laughed. "This time, I am not the one treating you. It is the Finance Department's Chief Yan and Chief Chen who want to celebrate with you."
"Celebrate what?"
"Promotion to Deputy Chief Commander."
"It's just a division of work. How can you call this promotion?"
"You have the final say on the 30 million RMB. Which dormitory needs to be rebuilt? Which dormitory needs to be renovated? You have a lot of authority. "
"Alright. Stop making fun of your old classmate."
"Hehe, anyway, I've brought the message. They were afraid that you would be too busy today, so they asked me first to find out if you had time."
Dong Xuebing thought for a while. "It's fine if we eat outside as it will attract too much attention. Although no one is dead, dozens of people are injured. It's not good for us to go out for a meal like this. People might gossip about us." Actually, it's not a big deal. But Dong Xuebing had been influenced by his wife for a long time, and he pays attention to these details. The higher the rank, the more careful he will be. "How about this? If it is convenient for you, let's have dinner at your place tonight. I'm just afraid that I'll trouble Auntie and Uncle too much and cause you trouble. "
Yao Cui giggled. "Aren't you treating me like an outsider? It's no trouble at all. Alright, let's go to my house. My parents still miss you and nag you every day. "
"Then it's settled?"
"Okay, I'll call them and tell them."
"Don't mind me. I'll go buy some groceries. This time, I have to show my skills too."
"How can I let you cook? My parents will skin me alive."
Dong dong.
There was a knock on the door.
Yao Cui turned serious. "I will go back first."
Dong Xuebing nodded. "Alright. Tell Old Yan and Old Chen about this."
Yao Cui opened the door and walked out. Jiang Fangfang's secretary, Li Xiaona, was standing outside. Yao Cui smiled. "Sister Li."
Li Xiaona returned a smile. "Mayor Dong, are you busy?"
"No. Please come in." Yao Cui let Li Xiaona enter, and Yao Cui closed the door and left.
Dong Xuebing looked up and smiled. "Secretary Li, why are you here? Mayor Jiang is looking for me? Can't he just call me? "
Li Xiaona replied. "No. Mayor Jiang had gone out for work, and before he left, he asked me to watch over you. He is afraid you will not return home after work. Haha … that's why I am here."
Dong Xuebing replied. "It's still early, and everyone is still in the office."
Li Xiaona replied. "You are still not fully recovered, and Mayor Jiang is worried about you."
"I know." Dong Xuebing paused for a second and said. "Alright. I will go back now. Help me thank Mayor Jiang. She is worried about me."
Li Xiaona will not stay behind to watch over Dong Xuebing. She left after hearing what Dong Xuebing said.
Dong Xuebing packed his things and went downstairs to buy some groceries to go to Yao Cui's house.
In the compound.
There are not many people around, and everyone is still working overtime.
But when the staff and leaders saw Dong Xuebing, their expressions changed, and their attitudes towards him changed.
"Mayor Dong."
"Mayor Dong."
"You are off work?"
Dong Xuebing nodded to everyone and boarded his Land Rover.
Many people watched as the Land Rover left the County Party Committee Compound, and then they looked away and started to discuss.
At noon, everyone's attention was on the dormitories. When they saw one of the Public Security Bureau's dormitories almost collapsed, they were worried. After all, everyone's dormitories were about the same, and no one was any newer than the others. They were all wondering when the County Government would rebuild their dormitories. Sure enough, the Party Committee held another meeting in the afternoon, and everyone was excited when they heard that the dormitories will be rebuilt.
However, the news that followed left many people dumbfounded!
This 30 million RMB project, and the Chief Commander is Mayor Jiang, and the Deputy Chief Commander is Mayor Dong. All of them are from the Jiang Department!
How is this possible?!
The Chief Commander is Mayor Jiang?!
The person in charge is also from the Jiang Department?!
What is Secretary Meng doing? Why did he give such a big project to someone else?!
This matter was too baffling. Everyone could tell that something was wrong. In the next few hours, everyone gradually learned the details!
Before the building collapsed, Mayor Dong had suggested rebuilding the dormitories, and it was rejected by the Meng Department's people!
But after that … the dormitory really collapsed!
Everyone was shocked, and many of them almost cursed!
Damn! What a f * cking coincidence! Are you a fortune-teller?! How can you be so accurate?!
Dong Xuebing was in the limelight again. He had only been working in Zhen Shui County for a month, and he had caused a commotion countless times!
Someone said that Mayor Dong knows fortune-telling!
Someone said that Mayor Dong is a jinx!
Anyway, there are all kinds of rumors. This is because this incident happened at the right time!
Also, Dong Xuebing had jumped down from the sixth floor with a woman in his arms in the morning. Now, everyone in Zhen Shui County knew that there was a Deputy Mayor in their Zhen Shui County!
Secretary Meng had lost!
He had the majority of the votes in the Party Committee and lost!
This is a clear signal that Secretary Meng will no longer be able to do whatever he wants in Zhen Shui County!
