Morning.
9.30 am.
County Investment Promotion Agency.
Dong Xuebing had just finished talking to his subordinates when someone from the County's Party Committee's Organization Department arrived and entered the office.
Men and women.
There are about three to four of them.
The leader of the group is a woman in her forties. Her name is Wang Xia, a Deputy Minister of the Organization Department. She has short curly hair and looks gentle. She greeted Dong Xuebing with a smile after she entered. Dong Xuebing also knows Wang Xia. Although they are not close, they had met a few times at the County Party Committee Compound. Although they did not talk much, they are familiar with each other.
"Mayor Dong." Wang Xia smiled.
"Minister Wang." Dong Xuebing shook hands with her.
Wang Xia looks around. "Am I disturbing your work?"
Dong Xuebing replied. "It's fine. Please come in."
Wang Xia said. "We need to borrow an office. What do you think?"
Dong Xuebing points to the office. "Let's go to the inner room. We only have a single room here."
"Haha … we will use it for a while." Wang Xia said to her subordinates.
"You all can do as you wish." Dong Xuebing looks at Zheng Dayou. "Old Zheng, I will go out for a while and will be back soon. You can arrange the rest."
Zheng Dayou nodded. "Alright. Will the morning's work be delayed for a few hours?"
Dong Xuebing nodded. "You can make the arrangements. Work will not be done in a short time."
After that, Wang Xia and the people from the Organization Department went to the Bureau Chief's office under Zheng Dayou's instructions. After that, someone from the Organization Department came out to call for Wang Xia. Actually, the decision had been made at the County's Party Committee Meeting, and Party Secretary Meng and Mayor Jiang had also made the decision. The visit from the Organization Department is just a formality, and Dong Xuebing had spoken to his subordinates.
"Mayor Dong, are you going out?" Gong Na, who was at the front desk, quickly asked. "Should I call Brother Wei and ask him to pick you up?"
Dong Xuebing laughed. "Old Wei had just left, and I don't want to trouble him."
Chen Yunsong, who was behind Dong Xuebing, immediately said. "I should be able to collect my car today, and I had paid for it. It will be more convenient that way."
Dong Xuebing turned to Chen Yunsong. "Go back to your work first. The visit from the Organization Department is more important."
Dong Xuebing can tell from their tone and attitude that they are very friendly to Dong Xuebing.
Almost everyone in the Investment Promotion Agency will be promoted, and their salaries will increase. Even Xiao Hong, who had just joined the Agency, is promoted to Deputy Section Chief. This is considered a happy arrangement for everyone. Dong Xuebing had gotten all these promotions during the Party Committee meeting yesterday, and everyone knows what he is doing. Their attitude towards him is different from before, and they are grateful to him from the bottom of their hearts.
…
Outside.
Dong Xuebing went downstairs, and his phone rang when he stepped out of the courtyard.
It was Finance Department Deputy Chief Chen Xiaomei. "Hello, Mayor Dong. I'm Old Chen."
Dong Xuebing laughed and asked. "Sister Chen, what's up?"
Chen Xiaomei smiled and said, "I heard that Yunsong was promoted to the Chief of Business Section. You helped him get it. I'm calling to thank you."
Dong Xuebing replied. "It's all because of Xiao Chen's hard work. Everyone can see his results, and it's only right for him to be promoted."
"He had just entered the Government Service less than two years ago. If you did not help him, he will not get promoted. Thank you, Mayor Dong."
"It's fine."
"I will bring my brother to treat you to dinner tonight."
"I am very busy these few days. Let's do it another day."
"That's fine. Anyway, I owe you a meal. Remember it."
"Haha … I will not forget. I will treat you to a meal another day."
"Oh, I need to prepare now. If not, I will not be able to handle you."
Dong Xuebing cleared his throat when he heard what Chen Xiaomei said.
After that, Chen Xiaomei joked. "I am poor, and I cannot afford to treat you to a restaurant. But my cooking is better than the chefs in a restaurant."
"Alright. I will go to your place for dinner another day."
"Ok. After you are done with your work, I will go anytime. It's just a phone call, and it depends on your schedule."
"Ok."
"I will not disturb you from your work."
Dong Xuebing had mentioned Chen Xiaomei's brother because of her, and Chen Xiaomei must give him a call. Actually, Dong Xuebing was bullsh * tting when he said he was interested in Chen Yunsong's capabilities. If it weren't for Chen Xiaomei, Dong Xuebing would never mention a young man who had just entered the government service for a year. Although Dong Xuebing had only been in the government service for 2 to 3 years, there was no comparison. Chen Xiaomei should know this.
On the road.
Dong Xuebing hung up and did not pick up his phone. Instead, he called Chang Juan. Ring … ring … ring … ring … ring … ring … ring …
"Hello, Xuebing."
"Sister Chang, why is it so messy over there?"
"Oh, I am outside, and the signal is not good."
"Did you go out today?"
"No. I had gone to look for a house. I will be staying here for a while, and I cannot stay in a hostel all the time."
"Haha … it's fine."
"Just look for me. I am also afraid you will chase me away. I know I had caused you trouble this time, but I have no choice but to shamelessly look for you. I also don't want to create more trouble for you. Xuebing, you will not ignore me, right?" As Dong Xuebing said this, he sounded like he was about to cry. Dong Xuebing had not called him the whole day yesterday, and she was not sure if he was faking it.
Dong Xuebing smiled. "Sister Chang, am I that kind of person? Don't think too much. I have something to discuss with you. Let's meet up. "
"Where are you?"
"I am at the Investment Promotion Agency."
"Ok. I will go and look for you."
"Ok. Let's go to that restaurant north of here."
"Ok. Wait for me. I will be there within twenty minutes."
… …
About ten minutes later.
A Land Rover stopped by the side of the road.
Chang Juan got out of the Land Rover and attracted a lot of people's attention. After all, it was a car worth four million yuan. In such a poor county, anyone who knew this car would take a few more glances at it. Perhaps Chang Juan was also affected by the car. She was very imposing. She slammed the car door and got out in a hurry.
In the restaurant.
Dong Xuebing waved to Chang Juan through the window.
Chang Juan saw Dong Xuebing and quickly entered. "Xuebing."
Dong Xuebing pushed a cup of tea to Chang Juan. "Have some water first."
"Ok." Chang Juan took a sip from the cup. She seems to be tired.
Today, she is wearing a brown dress and blouse. Her make-up is not light, and her eyelashes and foundation are all on. Dong Xuebing does not know what Sister Chang is thinking. Is she not anxious? However, the matter in the capital was indeed quite big. It had almost affected her livelihood, but she was anxious, right? Not only did she put on heavy makeup, but she also dressed herself up from head to toe every day.
Women …
Dong Xuebing doesn't understand what Dong Xuebing is thinking.
"Have you been running all morning?"
"More than that. She started looking for an apartment last night."
"The property here is cheap, and it should not be hard to find an apartment."
"It might be cheap, but the market is not big, and it's hard to find an apartment."
"That's right. Most of the people here are locals, and there are not many foreigners renting apartments here."
"Also, even if the rent is not expensive, my wife and I do not have any savings. After the medical bills, we are almost broke, and our salaries are suspended. We still need to take care of our child …" Chang Juan sighed.
Dong Xuebing looked at her. "I had said that if you do not have money, you can borrow some from me. You can just ask me for a few hundred thousand."
Chang Juan shook her hand. "No. I don't want your money."
If it was someone else who said this, Chang Juan would think that person has ulterior motives. Who would lend so much money to an old colleague? There must be an ulterior motive. But this person is Dong Xuebing, and Chang Juan knows Dong Xuebing does not have any ulterior motives. He only wants to help. When Dong Xuebing first joined the State Security, everyone knows he is very protective and treats his subordinates well. In the past, Dong Xuebing even dared to slap the table and stare at his leader for a subordinate. Everyone knows Dong Xuebing's character. Maybe Chang Juan knows Dong Xuebing's character, and that's why she asked for his help when she is desperate.
"Xuebing, why are you looking for me?" Chang Juan looks at Dong Xuebing. "Is it because of the transfer? I can start work in the Investment Promotion Agency? "
Dong Xuebing paused for a second. "Sister Chang, I will ask you again. The working conditions here are harsh. Are you sure you can handle the hardships?"
Chang Juan replied firmly. "I can do it."
Dong Xuebing replied. "Alright. Are you going to work today?"
Chang Juan's eyes brighten up. "Sister, your files are here?"
"I had contacted Chief Zhen and helped you pull some strings. The files will be here in a few days, and you just need to settle it." Dong Xuebing replied.
Chang Juan is overjoyed. "Why am I here? To your Investment Promotion Agency's office? It's fine. I can also serve tea, and I just need to stay here for a while. "Dong Xuebing laughed.
Dong Xuebing laughed. "You came all the way here to look for me, and we are old friends. How can I ask you to serve me tea? I will surely arrange a good position for you."
Chang Juan was stunned. "What position?"
Dong Xuebing laughed. "Zhen Shui County Investment Promotion Agency's Deputy Chief. I had mentioned this position at the Party Committee meeting yesterday, and the County Government had approved it. You can meet the people from the Organization Department later."
Chang Juan was stunned. "Deputy Chief? How can this be? I am still suspended! "
Dong Xuebing replied. "I had asked someone to erase your suspension and did not record it in your file. That's why you have nothing to do in Beijing. If you want to go back, you can go now. If you want to stay here, you can prepare to be promoted."
