Sunday.
Early in the morning.
Dong Xuebing was brushing his teeth in the bathroom when his phone rang beside the ashtray in the living room. He spat out the mint-flavored toothpaste from his mouth and rinsed his mouth before walking out to answer the call.
"Hello, who is this?"
"Mayor Dong, I'm Xiao Lui."
"Oh, you all have arrived in Beijing?"
"We arrived in the wee hours yesterday. Brother Qian and I saw that it was too late and did not call you. We don't want to disturb your rest. Haha, thank you for your hospitality yesterday. You had sent us back and even treated us to a few meals. We are embarrassed. We will treat you next time."
"Don't mention it. Oh, about the location … …"
"I had submitted the report to the higher-ups, and it is not decided yet."
"What do you think? Is it close to the target? "
"I think it should not be a problem. But the higher-ups still have to decide."
"Alright. Haha, I did not have time to bring you all out yesterday. Come again when you are free. I will accompany you all for a walk."
"Ok. I will contact you all again."
"Ok. That's all."
"Ok. We will go and rest now."
After hanging up, Dong Xuebing snapped his fingers. With the inspectors' words and Professor Chen's guarantee, Dong Xuebing felt there should not be any problems. So, he started to think about how to get the Science and Technology Department over. This was an urgent matter, and he must settle this before the news spread. If not, Ci Boyang would never give up this position. Who would be willing to give the credit to someone else? Dong Xuebing's efforts would be in vain, and it would be like helping his political enemies. That's why Dong Xuebing felt that he must settle this before next Monday. This was the safest way to get this position.
What should he do?
Who should he look for?
Also, it would not be easy.
Dong Xuebing thought for a while and could only look for Jiang Fangfang. He had made an appointment with Jiang Fangfang over the internet two days ago to have dinner together.
Dong Xuebing heard the sound of the door closing upstairs.
Thud, thud, thud. The sound of footsteps could be heard.
Dong Xuebing heard it was Sister Jiang's door and walked over to look through the door mirror. He saw a pair of beautiful legs in a pair of sports shoes, white sports pants, and a sky blue sports shirt. What is Sister Jiang going to do? Why is she dressed like this? In the blink of an eye, Jiang Fangfang, who was holding the garbage bag, had already gone downstairs. Dong Xuebing knew she will not be wearing this to work and should be on her day off. So, he followed her out of the office.
Downstairs.
The morning air was very fresh.
It had rained a little last night, so the ground was basically dry. However, there was still a little rainwater in some of the grass pits. The atmosphere of birds singing and the fragrance of flowers wafted over.
"Mayor Jiang."
"Good morning."
"Are you going for breakfast?"
A few cadres greeted Jiang Fangfang with a smile.
"Good morning." Jiang Fangfang threw away the garbage bag and said calmly. "I had not exercised for days, and my body is not feeling well. I am going out for some morning exercise and jogging."
Dong Xuebing had just walked out of the building and overheard them. He immediately said. "Mayor Jiang, haha … shall we run together? I'm going to do some work too. "
Jiang Fangfang smiled and points to the door. "Let's go."
Dong Xuebing laughed. "Then you must slow down. I will not be able to outrun you."
After that, Dong Xuebing and Jiang Fangfang jogged out of the quarters. They greeted a few acquaintances along the way and ran to a small garden nearby. They ran around the pergola and smelled the grass seeds in the air. They felt refreshed.
"Sister Jiang."
"Yes."
"Are you on your day off today?"
"If there is nothing going on in the office, I will."
"Just let your secretary handle it. You had not rested for days, and you should rest today. Errr … shall we have breakfast at my place later? "
"Sure."
"What are we eating?"
"Let's have some porridge. Do you have Xiaomi?"
"Yes. I have prepared some salted vegetables."
Dong Xuebing and Jiang Fangfang chatted as they jogged.
There are not many people in the garden, and there are only some old men and women taking a walk in the morning.
Dong Xuebing ran to a small rockery on the north side of the pavilion and looked to the side. Jiang Fangfang was sweating, and her forehead and back were wet. Her chest and butt were bouncing up and down as she ran. Dong Xuebing admired her for a while and said. "Sister Jiang, I need to talk to you about something."
Jiang Fangfang panted. "What is it?"
Dong Xuebing cleared his throat. "Tell me about the technology sector."
Jiang Fangfang looked at Dong Xuebing as she ran. "What technology sector?"
"It's the technology sector. What do you think of me?" Dong Xuebing replied.
"Isn't that under Mayor Ci?" Jiang Fangfang did not look at Dong Xuebing and continued running.
"Yes, I know, but Mayor Ci hasn't made any achievements in this area. It's a waste. Look at our county's Science and Technology Bureau. It doesn't even have a proper office. It doesn't make a difference to the county even if it exists or not. It's such a pity. I'm not bragging, but if you give me this opportunity, I will definitely be able to carry forward the science and technology work in a short period of time and build this area up. Moreover, science and technology work is also related to investment promotion work. More flowers can maximize the results." Dong Xuebing was panting. He had spoken so much while running, and he could not catch his breath. "Do you think … what I said makes sense?"
Jiang Fangfang nodded. "You are right."
Dong Xuebing clapped his hands. "Alright. That's settled."
"… no." Jiang Fangfang rejected.
Dong Xuebing was speechless. "You are right."
Jiang Fangfang stopped running and started walking. She pointed to a pavilion in front and walked over with Dong Xuebing.
Dong Xuebing brushed the leaves off the stone bench. "Have a seat."
Jiang Fangfang sat down. "Why do you want the Technology Bureau? What are you planning? "
Dong Xuebing replied. "I don't have any plans. I just want to get involved in the technology sector."
"Our agriculture and animal husbandry are all based on traditional breeding methods, and it is impossible to change in a short period of time. There are many restrictions. What are you going to do?"
"The productivity of science and technology isn't only focused on breeding. There are many other aspects. If we only focus on cultivation and breeding, wouldn't we be limiting ourselves?" Dong Xuebing replied. "What I am thinking is … I have a lot of different ideas. You just need to make some adjustments to my work and let me handle the Tech Department. I promise I will make some achievements in the County within the shortest time. I will definitely do it."
Jiang Fangfang shook her head.
Dong Xuebing pouted. "Sister Jiang, you are so boring."
"It's not that I am boring." Jiang Fangfang looked at Dong Xuebing. "If there is no change in the position and there are no special circumstances, the County Government will not change the Deputy Mayor's job."
Dong Xuebing continued. "This is a special situation. I am not asking for credit. Sister Jiang, I had done a good job in getting investments, right? Can you just treat it as a reward for my contributions? "
"Mayor Ci is a member of the Mongolian faction. Now that our relationship with the Mongolian faction has just eased, it is time for us to work together for development. This is a rare opportunity, and it is also an opportunity. Have you thought about the impact of transferring one of Ci Boyang's jobs? When the time comes, there will be some meaningless political struggles. Once the county is in chaos, the good situation will be gone. The progress of the road construction and the implementation of the investment projects will affect the whole situation. Many things will change. "Jiang Fangfang analyzed for him.
Dong Xuebing did not listen to her. "The Technology Bureau is not important in our County. It's not necessary."
Jiang Fangfang said. "It's not about the division of labor. Mayor Ci is in charge of the Technology Bureau, and you want to take over his position? What do you think Ci Boyang will do? He is a member of the County's Party Committee. Even if I forcefully change the division of labor during the Mayor's meeting, it still needs to be discussed by the Standing Committee. If we fall out with Ci Boyang, the Mongolian faction will not give us any face. Don't forget, we do not have any advantage in terms of votes. "
Dong Xuebing smiled. She was right. He lit a cigarette and thought for a while before saying. "I will also be in charge of the Development and Reform Bureau."
Jiang Fangfang looked at Dong Xuebing. "What?"
"Although the authority of the Development and Reform Bureau at the grassroots level is not as high as the higher-ups, it is still better than other government departments. The Technology Bureau cannot be compared to it. " Dong Xuebing had made up his mind. "How about this? I will be in charge of the Technology Bureau and Ci Boyang will be in charge of the Development and Reform Bureau. This way, Ci Boyang will have the upper hand, and I think he will not object." As the Executive Deputy Mayor, Dong Xuebing is in charge of many departments. The County Government Office and the Investment Promotion Department are the most important departments. He still has other departments like the Development and Reform Bureau and the County's Public Sector Reform Office. He is in charge of at least ten departments.
Jiang Fangfang was speechless. "Do you think this is a game? Exchange? "
Dong Xuebing replied. "It is not an exchange. It is just a division of labor. You have the final say in the County Government. Really. That's settled, Sister Jiang."
"What do you want?"
"Nothing. I just want to do my job well."
"You think you can just throw away the Development and Reform Bureau? You think you want to do your job well?"
"It's not that I want to throw away the Development and Reform Bureau. Compared to the Development and Reform Bureau, the Technology Bureau is more suitable for me. Sister Jiang, just give me an answer."
"Let's put it aside first."
"Don't mind. I am in a hurry."
"Why are you in a hurry?"
"Just give it to me."
"Let me think."
