One day.
Two days.
Three days.
Dong Xuebing was discharged from the hospital in the morning.
Most of his injuries had recovered, and he did not listen to the hospital's advice to stay for a few more days. There will be a commendation ceremony in the County, and he must attend it.
County Hospital.
Outside the hospital compound.
Dong Xuebing did not inform anyone. If not, a group of people will come and fetch him during work hours. It will not look good, and people will gossip about him. So, Dong Xuebing left the hospital with his belongings and went downstairs. He waited for a while at the entrance and wanted to hail a taxi. But Zhen Shui County's economy and living standards are very high, and there are very few taxis available. He waited for a while, but a call came.
Ring … ring … ring …
It was Xie Huilan's number.
Dong Xuebing placed his belongings on the floor and leaned against the hospital wall to answer. "Hello, Xie Huilan. Why are you calling me so early in the morning? Don't you always call me at night? "
A chuckle came from the other end. "I missed you, kid."
Dong Xuebing laughed. "Hehe … I wonder if it is true."
Xie Huilan smiled. "Where are you? Why is it so messy over there? "
"Oh, I am on my way to work." Dong Xuebing did not dare to tell Xie Huilan that he was injured. If not, Xie Huilan will scold him again.
"How's your work?"
"It's fine. A few days ago, I got the position of Deputy Chief Commander. This is my first achievement in Zhen Shui County. I am still planning it, and everything is going smoothly."
"How's your relationship?"
"It's fine. I had blended in with them."
"That's good. I am still afraid you will offend people again. Hahaha."
"You are still worried about me? I will try my best to get transferred back before you give birth. Oh, how is the baby? Is everything alright? "
"We had checked yesterday. It's fine."
"You did an ultrasound scan? Did you see if it's a boy or a girl? "
"It's fine. The doctor said it should be a boy. Haha … didn't I tell you in the past? You don't believe me. How is it?"
"It's really a boy?"
"I can basically see it. It should be fine."
"Hehe … look at yourself. Boys are good!" Dong Xuebing is also overjoyed. To him, boys and girls are the same.
"Your Sister Xie only wants a boy, and your mother also wants a boy. She was so happy yesterday and asked Uncle Yang's secretary to drive all the way to Fen Zhou City to look for me. She had to take care of your Sister Xie and cook for me, and I am embarrassed. You should tell our Mother that her health is not good, and she should not run around. I will be fine."
"Look at how much my mom loves you." Dong Xuebing replied jealously. "Even I don't get this treatment. I had been here for two months, and my mother had not even visited me once."
"How far are you?"
"It's only been three hours."
"Haha … should I go over to visit you?"
"Forget it. You are just joking." Dong Xuebing snorted. "You have more things on your plate than me. How can you be free?"
"What if Sister Xie can leave?"
"Don't come over. You are pregnant, and don't run around."
"Haha … at least you still have some conscience. Alright. I will give you a surprise, but you must kiss me first."
"What surprise?"
"You kiss me first."
"Aiya, I'm outside!"
"What's there to be afraid of? Lower your voice, and I can hear you."
Dong Xuebing did not know what else to do and whispered into his phone. "Alright. Tell me about the surprise. Is it because you are going to be promoted? It can't be so fast. "
"You will know when the time comes. I'm hanging up."
"Heh … you said you will tell me after you kiss me!"
"Haha … I have reached the office. I will hang up now."
Dong Xuebing was speechless after Xie Huilan hangs up. If Xie Huilan is standing in front of him now, he will surely teach her a lesson. Of course, Dong Xuebing does not dare to be rash in front of his wife. She is much older than him, and she is pregnant. Dong Xuebing does not dare to stare at her.
Dong Xuebing kept his phone and waited for a taxi.
… …
9 am.
Party Committee Compound.
The taxi stopped at the main entrance, and Dong Xuebing alighted. It's office hours, and there are many people in the compound.
"Eh?"
"Mayor Dong?"
"Why are you discharged?"
"Good morning, Mayor Dong!"
"How are you feeling?"
Many people were surprised to see Dong Xuebing and quickly greeted him.
They had heard Dong Xuebing had received more than 50 stitches and did not expect Dong Xuebing to be discharged within a few days.
Dong Xuebing greeted everyone. "I'm much better. Thank you for your concern."
Behind him, Mayor Jiang's car also entered the compound. She saw Dong Xuebing and stopped in front of him. Jiang Fangfang alighted from the car.
"Are you discharged?" Jiang Fangfang asked.
Dong Xuebing nodded. "My injuries are almost healed."
Jiang Fangfang looked at Dong Xuebing and did not say anything after seeing he is fine. "There will be a commendation ceremony later. Since you are here, prepare your speech."
Dong Xuebing replied. "I will not be going on stage."
Jiang Fangfang walked in front. "This is your commendation ceremony. If you don't speak, who will? Prepare your speech and get the secretaries to prepare a speech for you. "
Dong Xuebing paused for a while and replied. "Alright."
The two of them entered the corridor. There was no one on the stairs, so Jiang Fangfang tilted her head and said to him, "Your health is really bad, and there's no one here to take care of you. How about this, in the future, after I cook dinner, you go upstairs to my place to eat. Bring me your clothes and socks, I'll wash them for you when I'm free."
Dong Xuebing replied. "I can't trouble you."
Jiang Fangfang replied. "It's not a big deal."
"I really can't. I had troubled you too much." Dong Xuebing laughed. "If you continue to take care of me, I might not be able to take care of myself in the future."
Jiang Fangfang smiled.
Dong Xuebing changed the topic. "Chief Chu …"
Jiang Fangfang nodded. "It's about time. Old Chu and his family are grateful to you."
Dong Xuebing knew Mayor Jiang and Chu Peng had interacted with each other for the past few days, and Chu Peng should be siding with the Jiang Department. Although Dong Xuebing felt it was his duty to save Ceng Linghua, and even if it was someone else, Dong Xuebing would still rush over to save Ceng Linghua. But Chu Peng is siding with the Jiang Department, and this is what Dong Xuebing wants.
Dong Xuebing and Jiang Fangfang had reached the upper floor.
Dong Xuebing's office was in front. When Dong Xuebing was about to leave, Jiang Fangfang suddenly stopped and looked at him. "You keep saying that I am the one taking care of you. But I should be the one thanking you. Ever since you came to Zhen Shui County, you had helped me a lot. I know that if you were not here, my work would not be carried out so smoothly. This is an indisputable fact."
Dong Xuebing waved his hand. "You are too serious."
Jiang Fangfang continued. "You had worked hard for the past two months."
Dong Xuebing immediately replied. "You are saying this. You are doing this for the people, and it is not hard at all."
… …
After returning to his office, Dong Xuebing called Yao Cui and asked her to get the secretarial department to prepare a speech for him.
After a while.
Dong Xuebing's speech was prepared.
Some government officials who knew Dong Xuebing was discharged from the hospital came to Dong Xuebing's office.
"Mayor Dong."
"Are you feeling better?"
"Why didn't you stay in the hospital for a few more days?"
Dong Xuebing thanked everyone. He was different from when he first took office. After so many things, Dong Xuebing had a lot of influence in Zhen Shui County.
10 am.
The commendation ceremony started.
All the County's leaders and leaders were seated in the hall.
The meeting was hosted by a Deputy Director from the County's Party Committee Office. He gave a brief introduction on the dormitory collapse incident a few days ago. After that, he invited a firefighter who had been fighting on the frontlines to give a speech. After that, some people who organized the rescue at that time, and the families of the victims from the Public Security Bureau also sent a representative to express their gratitude.
The last person to give a speech was Dong Xuebing.
The Deputy Director from the County's Party Committee Office shouted. "Lastly, I have a statistic here. During the collapse of the dormitory, one person saved 21 victims within half an hour. This is more than all the firefighters and the rescue teams organized by the public combined. After that, when the dormitory collapsed, this person rushed into the building to save the victims. In the end, he was seriously injured but did not collapse. He still managed to save the victims." He paused for a while and continued. "Let's welcome Mayor Dong Xuebing!"
The hall was filled with thunderous applause.
The rest of the departments under the control of the Mongolian Party were only average, but the leaders and officers from the Public Security Bureau were clapping hard. Dong Xuebing's ruthlessness and determination had touched many people.
Dong Xuebing went up the stage.
Everyone looked at him with different thoughts.
He had broken a one-ton stone wall with just a wave of his hand!
He did not even blink when he was seriously injured!
He had to perform a difficult surgery when he went up the stage!
News of Dong Xuebing's incident had spread all over the county. Many people only found out about it from the County's TV station. After that, there were also rumors that the Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee and Public Security Bureau Chief, Chu Peng, was close to the Jiang faction's men.
Who would have thought that the Jiang Department, who had been suppressed by the County's leaders, would be able to make a comeback?
But Mayor Dong had only been here for two months! The Mongolian Party's advantage was gone! In the end, they will be suppressed by the Jiang Department!
Mayor Dong is good!
