Afternoon.
The office.
Dong Xuebing and Lan Xuewen sat together and chatted while drinking tea. Dong Xuebing wants to get closer to Lan Xuewen.
"Sister Huilan had given birth, right?"
"Yes. She had finished her confinement."
"My father had mentioned it to me, and I wanted to go over to congratulate her. But I heard Sister Huilan is staying at Grandpa Xie's villa, and I don't dare to go over."
"Sigh … Grandpa Xie's health is not good, and Huilan had just given birth and is not feeling well. That's why we did not invite all of you for a banquet. We will wait until the baby is one month old or a hundred days old. But Huilan had been transferred to another place, and she is very busy. I don't think we can hold this banquet."
"Sister Huilan had risen to the top this time. She is the Party's Party Secretary, but she is capable and deserves this position. I'm not surprised. When we were young, we used to live in the same compound, and all of us played together. At that time, our parents always said, 'Look at Huilan.' Haha … Sister Huilan is smart since young and has lots of charisma. She is very popular among us kids."
Let's continue chatting.
A few minutes later.
Lan Xuewen got to the point. "You have just arrived and might not know about your colleagues and subordinates."
Dong Xuebing nodded. "The departments here are overstaffed, and the situation is complicated."
Lan Xuewen said, "Then I'll get straight to the point. I've been in contact with the Second Department of the Eighth Division a lot and have dealt with a lot of people, so I have a rough idea of what's going on. Director Yin is a humble person, and he's the kind of person who treats everyone well. I believe you can tell that Director Yin is famous for being a good person in the compound, but don't be fooled by his appearance. This is only when he's interacting with his colleagues. If there's a case, he's not the kind of person who will sell favors to anyone. He's very serious, and he handles the case very neatly.
Dong Xuebing nodded.
Lan Xuewen continued, "Director Yin's background isn't that big, he started from scratch and relied on himself. Of course, the background I'm talking about mainly refers to his family. Director Yin is very close to the eighth office's director, so let's not talk about his background. Well, for example, Zhang Dongliang from your office, he's a section chief, although his rank is average, but his father is the secretary of a local city's municipal party committee. As for his father's faction, it's not at the level of the central government, it's just a faction in the province, so I don't know much about it, so let's not talk about it. Also, there's Sun Zhaobang from your office, that little fatty, he's also a section chief, and someone in his family is a deputy minister of a ministry, but that position is relatively weak, so let's not talk about it. And that person called He Zhou, he's the highest-ranking among these people, a deputy division chief inspector. His background is more complicated, he's a relative of an old deputy minister of a powerful department. That old leader has already retired, but he still has some friends and connections.
Lan Xuewen said slowly.
Dong Xuebing was also listening attentively. He knew these are important information and memorized everything in his mind.
Finally.
Dong Xuebing asked, "What about that Han Fei?"
Lan Xuewen replied. "She has the strongest background in the Second Bureau. Don't think that she is arrogant, but her father is the Chief of the Central Organization Department's Second Bureau. He's also a member of the Central Organization Department and has a lot of authority. Han Fei is also an only child." Dong Xuebing nodded.
Dong Xuebing nodded. He was wondering how someone with Han Fei's character could be so stable in the government. Now, Dong Xuebing could understand why the head of the Second Bureau, Yin Chengan, had a good temper. That's why he was able to get along well with his subordinates. Also, he should know about the background of these people and should give them some face.
This is an important department in the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.
No one in this department is simple.
Dong Xuebing asked. "What faction does Han Fei's father belong to?"
Lan Xuewen thought for a while and shook his head. "I'm not sure. Han Fei's father is not from a government official's family and had climbed up the ranks by himself. At their level, it's hard to tell which faction they belong to. After all, they are involved in many complicated matters, and I don't know much about them. I think only they know. Anyway, Han Fei's father's relationship with our Xie faction is not good, but not bad. That's all I know."
Actually, not everyone in the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection has a strong background. There are not many leaders in the Letter Visitors' Office, and many of them are from ordinary families. Many of them are from rural families. But Lan Xuewen knows Sun Zhaobang, He Zhou, and the rest have strong backgrounds compared to Dong Xuebing's Xie Family. To the commoners, these people might be the children of influential families. But to the Xie Family, He Zhou, Sun Zhaobang, and the rest are ordinary commoners. Even Han Fei, who has a strong background, is nothing in front of Dong Xuebing and his wife. This is also the reason why no one knows Dong Xuebing's background after he was appointed. It's not that everyone is ignorant, but both sides are not on the same level. The few leaders in the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection should know Dong Xuebing's background, but with his status, they will not say anything about it.
After a few minutes, Dong Xuebing understood what happened. "Thank you, Old Lan."
Lan Xuewen laughed. "Let's not stand on ceremony. We will have more opportunities to meet in the future. Let's exchange numbers and keep in touch."
"Haha … ok." Dong Xuebing exchanged numbers with Xie Huilan.
"It's time for me to go back." Lan Xuewen said goodbye.
Dong Xuebing walked Xie Huilan to the office door and closed the door after Xie Huilan left.
But this has nothing to do with Dong Xuebing. So what if they have some background? They are all mid-level backgrounds, and they will not have any conflicts with the Xie Family. They might not even have any connections with the Xie Family. Dong Xuebing is prepared to be a 'carefree Prince' and not worry about anything. He will just enjoy his life for a few months, and this is more important than anything else.
