Morning.
It was 9.40 am.
The sun was shining brightly, and it felt warm in the office.
After settling his work, Dong Xuebing turned to look at the direction of the sun and stretched his back. His stomach growled again.
He was too hungry.
He can't take it if he doesn't eat.
If it were any other leader, they would have made a phone call. The secretary did not get a driver, and the driver did not get a staff member. They will get someone to buy food for them. But Dong Xuebing did not do this. This is because his way of doing things and thinking is different from other leaders. He likes to do everything himself. Although he knows ordering his subordinates to buy food for him will make them closer, Dong Xuebing will not do this. He is kind to people, and as long as there is no conflict with him, he will respect them. He seldom orders people around, even if it is not related to his rank or position. These two methods are considered the art of leadership. But it is hard to say which is better. At least, Dong Xuebing knows he has a good reputation among his subordinates.
Alright.
I will go and buy some food myself.
Dong Xuebing rubbed his stomach and stood up from his desk. He was about to go downstairs.
Knock … knock … someone knocked on the door, and Dong Xuebing's secretary, Yao Cui, entered. She was holding two plastic bags filled with buns in her hands.
"Cui Er, why are you here?" Dong Xuebing's eyes brighten up. He did not see Yao Cuiliang but the buns.
Yao Cui smiled and closed the door. "A friend from the County Government called me and told me that Mayor Dong is working overtime. As his secretary, I cannot stay at home and sleep in. That's why I am here." Yao Cui walked over and placed the buns on the table. "I am not sure if you had eaten breakfast. I had bought two trays of buns from my father's stall, and they had turned cold on the way. If you have not eaten, you can have some."
"I am starving now."
"You really did not eat?"
"I am about to go downstairs to buy some."
"Haha, then I came at the right time."
Dong Xuebing did not stand on ceremony with his old classmate and started eating.
"I also did not eat." Yao Cui opened a pair of disposable chopsticks and started eating with Dong Xuebing. "Is your wife alright? Where's the baby? "
Dong Xuebing replied as he ate. "It's done. They should be going to work today."
Yao Cui sighed. "That's fine. What happened two days ago was really scary, but those people in Chenggang County reaped what they sowed. Look, even God can't stand it anymore."
Heavens?
Dong Xuebing did not say anything and continued eating.
"Xuebing, you are not a good friend." Yao Cui laughed. "Sister Xie is such a beautiful official, and you don't even greet your old classmate."
"Hey, it's not like we're having a wedding. It's just two families having a meal or something. Anyway, I didn't invite any of my classmates. It's not like I won't invite you."
"There's going to be a class reunion next time. You have to bring your wife along. I really want to see the expressions on those classmates' faces when they see your wife," Yao Cui said happily. "They'll definitely be scared to death."
Dong Xuebing was feeling good in his heart but replied. "It's not that serious."
"Why not? I was shocked at that time. I didn't expect there to be such a beautiful person. She seemed to have floated out of a painting."
"You keep flattering her."
"I am telling the truth."
"You're the only one who thinks well of her. She has many flaws."
"Look at you, you're showing off. You're just showing off."
"Haha … I am not."
Yao Cui sighed, "In any case, a scholar who has been away for three days must be looked at in a new light. Among the batch of people who graduated, you're the only one who's doing well. You have money, an official position, a beautiful wife, and a child soon. You're too much of a blow. Are you trying to make us jealous?"
"The buns will get cold if you don't eat them."
"Haha … Alright. Let's not talk about this." Yao Cui took a bite of her bun and asked. "Oh, what's your task today?"
"Nothing much. You should go back and rest."
"I have nothing to do at home, and I need to work overtime."
"I had settled everything and only need to report the location of the dormitory to Mayor Jiang. But I met Mayor Jiang this morning. She had gone to the hospital to visit her father and should not be coming today. We will talk about it tomorrow or the day after." Dong Xuebing paused for a while and asked. "Oh, how is Mayor Jiang's father?"
Yao Cui sighed. "Cancer."
Dong Xuebing was stunned. "Cancer? How long has it been? "
"About one or two years." Yao Cui replied. "It's a long time ago. It's late-stage liver cancer, and he had been undergoing chemotherapy. It's not easy for him to survive until now. I heard Mayor Jiang's mother's health is not good too. She seems to have dementia and needs a nanny to take care of her every day."
Dong Xuebing frowned. "It's so serious?"
Yao Cui replied. "Yes. Mayor Jiang's husband had passed away a few years ago, and it's not easy for her to survive alone. I'm impressed by how calm she is."
"Is her father dying?" Dong Xuebing remembered Jiang Fangfang's condition in the morning and felt something was wrong.
Yao Cui replied. "I also don't know. But I heard his condition is not good this year."
Jiang Fangfang had never told Dong Xuebing about this, and Dong Xuebing's heart sank. He finally knew why Jiang Fangfang had insomnia every night. It's not only because of her husband's death, but also because of her parents' illnesses. But Mayor Jiang is still standing, and Dong Xuebing can't tell what's wrong with her face. Not only Yao Cui is impressed, but Dong Xuebing is also impressed.
Help her?
Dong Xuebing can't do anything. Her father's cancer had been in its late-stage stage for one or two years, and the earliest stage should be four to five years ago. Dong Xuebing can't give her father so much time, and he doesn't have much time left. Dong Xuebing can only use REVERSE to extend her father's life for a few more days. But it's useless.
After lunch.
Yao Cui left the office.
Dong Xuebing continued with his work.
But at about 11 pm, the phone on his desk rang.
It's the County Government Office Director Ma Bin, and Dong Xuebing was stunned. Ma Bin said. "Mayor Dong, Mayor Jiang's father had passed away in the hospital."
"When did this happen?"
"Around 10.30 pm."
Dong Xuebing hung up and sighed. Her father had passed away, and it's impossible to use REVERSE to extend her father's life.
