Before noon.
County Investment Promotion Agency.
Around 11 pm.
The receptionist, Gong Na, quickly returns to the receptionist after finishing her work. Dong Xuebing also returned to his desk.
Looking up information.
Looking at investment projects.
Making promotional leaflets.
Dong Xuebing is busy again.
Ring … ring … ring … Dong Xuebing's phone rang. It's Yao Cui.
"Hello, Mayor Dong."
"Xiao Yao? What's wrong?"
"Someone is looking for you at the entrance."
"Looking for me? Call me. "
"I'm not sure. She is downstairs and is not from our Agency. The guards did not let her in."
"Is she a man or a woman? What's her name? If it's nothing serious, tell her to come another day. I have a lot of work to do at the Investment Promotion Agency. "
"She is a woman. I don't know her name, but she said she is your sister."
"My sister? What sister? I am an only child. How can I have an elder sister? "
"Huh? That's what the guards told me. Should I reject her?"
"Let me think. Ok … ask her to come to the Investment Promotion Agency to look for me."
"Ok. I will ask the guards to tell her the address. Oh, I saw she is carrying her luggage and might not be familiar with this place. Should I get a car to send her over?"
"Is there a car in the unit?"
"There is a car. I will contact the driver."
"Ok. Thank you, Xiao Yao."
"Oh, I heard you are working at the Investment Promotion Agency?"
"There are not enough people, and I need to handle them."
"Can I go over to help in the afternoon?"
"No need. There are many things to do in the County, and I still need you to take charge of the County Government. I am in charge of the dormitory headquarters and the other departments, and I need someone to coordinate everything. I don't trust anyone else. You can stay here and inform me if anything happens."
"Alright, I understand."
"That's all. You don't need to come over. Just ask the driver to send her off."
Dong Xuebing does not have a sister, but he has too many "sisters". He does not know who is looking for him, and why is that person carrying his luggage? So, he does not dare to reject the person. He looks at his watch, and it's almost lunchtime. Dong Xuebing asked Yao Cui to inform that person to come over. Dong Xuebing looked out of the window, and his heart skipped a beat. Or Yuehua? Sister Yu? Huh? Could it be a relative of Mom's family? Cousin from Hui Tian Village? He couldn't figure it out, so he was too lazy to think about it. He was going to see her soon, so he should get to work first.
Dong Xuebing's fingers are typing on the keyboard. He pulled out a few pictures and used Photoshop software to paste them on the promotional materials for this project. This kind of design work is usually done by his subordinates. But there is a shortage of manpower, and Dong Xuebing had to do it himself. Luckily, he had graduated from a university and majored in computing. It's not hard for him to do this.
…
Ten minutes later.
The County's Party Committee Compound is very close to Dong Xuebing's office, and he heard a car entering the building. After a while, the car left.
They must have arrived.
Dong Xuebing also looks at the door.
Rumble, rumble. The sound of luggage being pulled could be heard in the corridor.
The next moment, a good-looking woman appeared at the entrance of the Investment Promotion Agency with a dusty suitcase in her hands.
The woman saw Dong Xuebing immediately. "Xuebing!"
Dong Xuebing quickly walks up to her. "Sister Chang, why are you here?"
This person is his old colleague, Chang Juan, who had called him yesterday. Dong Xuebing did not expect it to be her. They had not seen each other for two years, and Dong Xuebing could not help but sigh in his heart. He looked at Chang Juan from head to toe, and she did not look any different. She still looks prettier, and she looks more mature. She is wearing a dress with roses on it, and she looks pretty. But Sister Chang looks tired and depressed. Seems like she had been troubled at work these few days.
Chang Juan cried when she saw Dong Xuebing. "Xuebing!"
Dong Xuebing gasped. "What are you doing? Don't cry." This is what he was afraid of. He turned to Zheng Dayou. "Old Zheng, is your office locked?"
Zheng Dayou immediately replied. "It's not locked."
"Alright. I will use it for a while." Dong Xuebing replied.
Chen Yunsong, who had booked a taxi earlier, quickly walks over to carry Chang Juan's luggage. "Sister, let me bring it to your office."
Gong Na looked at Dong Xuebing and went to pour hot water for him.
They must take good care of Mayor Dong's friend.
… …
After a while.
Chief's office.
Everyone had left, and only Dong Xuebing and Chang Juan remained in the office.
Chang Juan held the warm water that Gong Na poured for her and gulped it down. She pulled out a napkin and wiped the corner of her mouth. Then, she lifted the napkin and wiped her tears. She cried again.
"Sister Chang, don't cry. You can tell me what happened."
"Xuebing, I am here to ask for your help. You must not ignore me."
"Uh, isn't there still a chance to turn things around? Did they fire you? "
"Not yet, but it's not far away. If they fire me, I will have no way out."
"Ah … it's not that serious. Why did you bring your luggage here? Why didn't you call me? "
"I thought about it yesterday, and you are the only one who can help me. I am afraid you will not agree if I call you, so I took a plane here in the morning."
"What are you trying to do?"
"I will not be leaving. Help me arrange a place to stay. I cannot stay in that stupid unit anymore. I cannot wait for them to fire me."
"Arrange a place for you?"
"You will not ignore me, right?"
"Of course not. But … does your husband know about this?"
"Yes. I had told him last night."
"But what about your child if you come over?"
"My husband will take care of my child. He might not be able to earn money, but he can take care of the family and our child."
"But you are living apart from your husband and child. This is not a long-term solution."
"I don't care. If I lose my job, who will take care of my family? I can't count on my husband. Xuebing, I know you are capable, and we have been colleagues for so many years. I had caused trouble, and you must save me." Chang Liangchuan said. Chang Juan threw away the wet napkin and replaced it with a new one to wipe her tears. "What I mean is that I'll stay here until the storm blows over. After this period, you can transfer me back to the capital. Anyway, I'll be with you during this period. If you don't care about me, I'll sleep on the streets. I can't go back anyway!"
Dong Xuebing smiled. "How can it be so simple? Your personnel files are still in Beijing. How can I transfer you over?"
Chang Juan replied. "You must have a way."
Dong Xuebing replied. "It's too big of a leap. My place is also …"
Chang Juan heard this and cried louder. "I will leave now. I will not disturb you!"
"Don't … don't …" Dong Xuebing quickly pulled Chang Yunfei's arm and asked her to sit back. "Can you let me think about it?"
"… yes."
"Sigh … it's better if you don't kick him."
"That old bastard! I kick him every time I see him! Kicking him is already considered letting him off lightly! He is the one flirting with me! He still wants me to use all my belongings to pay for his medical fees and mental damages! Damage fees my ass! I will kill him the next time I see him! He is so stubborn! "
Dong Xuebing was sweating. "Calm down first. Sister Chang, drink some water."
Chang Juan stopped crying after scolding Dong Xuebing. She continued scolding Dong Xuebing for a while.
Beijing people have a unique way of scolding others. Dong Xuebing laughed when he heard it. He suddenly felt it is quite intimate. Dong Xuebing's impression of Sister Chang in the past is the same. She is lazy and doesn't do anything serious. She likes to dress up and is vain. But if you push her too hard, she will be ruthless. Just look at what happened this time. Sister Chang is much more ruthless than Dong Xuebing.
In the end, Chang Juan got tired of scolding Dong Xuebing and took a few deep breaths. She looked at Dong Xuebing and asked softly. "Xuebing, did I cause trouble for you?"
"It's nothing."
"I am not depending on you. If it is too troublesome, I will go back."
"We have been friends for so many years. How can I not help you when you are in trouble?"
"You are the best. You are much better than my wife."
Dong Xuebing cleared his throat. He is a prideful person, and he also wants to help Sister Chang. In his previous workplace, Dong Xuebing is famous for shielding his colleagues. "Let me ask you first. Which department do you want to go to?"
Chang Juan immediately replied. "Alright. I will listen to you." Dong Xuebing replied.
Dong Xuebing replied. "I am only in charge of a few departments, and our Investment Promotion Agency is still lacking manpower. But we still need the County's policies to hire more people. This afternoon's Party Committee meeting will be held, and they might be discussing this. I can't promise you anything, but I must tell you that our Zhen Shui County is a poor county. You should have seen it on your way here, and it cannot be compared to Beijing."
Chang Juan replied. "I am not afraid."
"You have to be prepared, right?"
"Don't worry. I am prepared."
"Fine. If you say so, I will try to help you. I am not sure if it will work, but I will try my best. It's just that your file is in Beijing State Security, and you are still suspended from your duties. Since it's almost time for lunch break, I'll take you to eat something first. You must be tired after the long journey. I'll give your leader a call after lunch and see if they'll let you go. " Dong Xuebing did not dare to guarantee anything. But since he had only said half of what he wanted to say, he must have some confidence. Although Zhen Anguo was not on good terms with him, and Dong Xuebing should not interfere with Zhen Anguo's internal affairs. But asking for Zhen Anguo to transfer Zhen Anguo's men is considered normal, and he will not overstep his authority. Zhen Anguo should give him some face.
Chang Juan looked at Dong Xuebing. "Xuebing, you are the best to me."
