Monday.
It's time for work.
Dong Xuebing drove his old Xiali slowly into the unit's compound. The Commission for Discipline Inspection officers around him all had a stern look on their faces. Some of the officers were walking in the compound while discussing their work. Everyone was serious, but Dong Xuebing felt out of place in this environment. He drove slowly, whistling and humming a tune. Someone behind him honked his horn to urge him to drive faster, but Dong Xuebing pretended not to hear it and continued driving. After parking his car in front of the Eighth Supervision Office, he strolled leisurely with one hand in his pocket. He looked like a carefree man, and many people were looking at him.
Upstairs.
Eighth Supervision Office, Second Bureau.
Almost everyone in the office had arrived.
Dong Xuebing walked in, and a few people saw him and greeted him.
"Director Dong." Zhang Dongliang greeted.
"Director Dong." Sun Zhaobang greeted.
"Good morning." He Zhou greeted.
Han Fei pretended not to see him and did not say anything.
Dong Xuebing did not mind and smiled. "Good morning."
At this time, a middle-aged man entered the office. He is tall and skinny. He looks serious and looks like an ordinary Discipline Inspection officer.
"Director Chen."
"Good morning, Director Chen."
"Director Chen, you are back?"
Han Fei giggled and greeted him first.
The rest of the people also greeted that middle-aged man warmly.
Dong Xuebing knew this man was the Deputy Director of the Second Bureau, Chen Dayou, who was away on a business trip a few days ago.
Chen Dayou nodded to the rest and greeted them. After that, he looked at Dong Xuebing and extended his hand. "Are you the new Director Dong? Nice to meet you. I am Chen Dayou. "
Dong Xuebing shook hands with him. "Dong Xuebing, nice to meet you, Director Chen."
Chen Dayou is not a talkative person, and he did not say much after greeting Dong Xuebing.
Dong Xuebing also kept a low profile and did not say a word. After a while, Dong Xuebing and Chen Dayou returned to their offices.
Before closing the door, Han Fei looked at Dong Xuebing's back.
He Zhou shook his head and felt Dong Xuebing is too unsociable.
Sun Zhaobang and Zhang Dongliang were about the same. They didn't know how this kind of person managed to climb to the position of a Division Chief. They couldn't do anything at all. You don't even want to exchange a single word with your colleagues? You don't even care about your work? Chief Yin Chengan had told Dong Xuebing that he is low-key. But how can they not have seen low-key people? They had met many leaders like Han Fei and He Zhou, but they had never met someone as low-key as Dong Xuebing!
It wasn't time for work yet.
Seeing that there were no leaders around, everyone chatted in low voices.
"What do you all think he is doing?" Han Fei winked at Dong Xuebing's office.
He Zhou's rank was the highest here, so he dared to speak. "He's probably drinking tea, eating melon seeds, and listening to songs."
Sun Zhaobang did not join in. Even if Dong Xuebing does not have any presence, he also felt it is not nice to talk behind his leader's back.
Zhang Dongliang looked over and helped Dong Xuebing. "I don't think so. He had just been appointed a few days ago and did not have any tasks assigned to him. Now, our department is investigating a few projects in Jiangdong Province. Director Dong was also arranged to go to Wuyang City. Today, he will definitely … "
Before he could finish his sentence.
Dong Xuebing's office heard loud music, and it's familiar. It's the opening music of a movie. But after a while, the music quieted down. Director Dong must be watching a movie and did not set the volume properly. In the end, he turned the volume up and realized he had turned it down.
Han Fei: "…"
He Zhou: "…"
Zhang Dongliang kept quiet. He was speechless in his heart. He had explained to Dong Xuebing, and he thought it was a good start that Dong Xuebing was not late. But it was not the case. Dong Xuebing had come early to watch a movie!
…
In the house.
Dong Xuebing was watching a movie.
It was Friday, and Dong Xuebing had reminisced about his youth. He had mixed feelings and did not go anywhere on Saturday. He stayed in his hostel to watch some teen movies. There were old and new movies, but there were too many movies. He could not finish watching all of them. Today, he had to go to work and decided to continue watching.
9 am.
Dong Xuebing had left work for a while.
Knock, knock, knock. Someone knocks on the door.
Dong Xuebing replied casually. "Come in."
It was Han Fei, and she was holding a few documents in her hands. She saw Dong Xuebing was still watching a movie and only paused the movie after she entered. Han Fei felt her lungs were about to explode. She was not blaming Dong Xuebing for not respecting her, but she was furious. If Dong Xuebing wants to watch a movie, he should at least hide it. But he did not hide it at all. This is the Commission for Discipline Inspection, and it's the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. Dong Xuebing is a leader of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, and he does not set an example and still wants to watch a movie. Han Fei was speechless.
"What is it?" Dong Xuebing looked at her.
Han Fei threw the documents on Dong Xuebing's desk and said in a disrespectful tone. "These are the documents from Wuyang City. You are in charge of this, and Director Chen had asked me to pass them to you."
"Ok. Is there anything else?"
"… that's all!"
"Ok. I know."
Dong Xuebing was asking her to leave.
What kind of person is this?!
What kind of person is this?!
Han Fei walked out of Dong Xuebing's office angrily. Before she left, she purposely closed the door slightly. Her father is an important figure in the Central Organization Department, and she is the only child. She should be pampered and have a bad temper.
Dong Xuebing laughed and shook his head. He seldom gets angry with women, and it's better to keep a low profile. Dong Xuebing did not look at the documents and continued to watch his movie. After finishing this movie, he started to watch another movie. When he is free, he flipped through Wu Yang City's report. Dong Xuebing did not see any problems and immediately wrote down his comments. He did not punish Wu Yang City and only gave him a warning. Wu Yang City will not do anything to Dong Xuebing again. This is what the higher-ups are saying. Dong Quan's incident had been settled, and Dong Xuebing did not punish them.
Dong Xuebing continued to watch the movie.
One hour …
Two hours …
Ring, ring, ring … Dong Xuebing's phone rang.
Dong Xuebing saw it was his wife and answered with a smile.
"Hello, Huilan."
"What are you doing?"
"I'm watching a movie."
"It's not lunchtime yet. Why are you watching a movie?"
"Didn't you tell me to keep a low profile? I am trying my best to keep a low profile. "
"Hehe, you rascal. Keeping a low profile is for you to do things and speak in a low profile. It's not like I'm asking you to do nothing and watch movies every day. Never mind. I can't be bothered to talk to you. I don't have high hopes for your political wisdom. Just do whatever you want. Just watch the movie and don't cause any trouble. "
"I understand. Don't worry about it. How is your son?"
"The nanny is taking care of him, and he is doing well. He can eat and sleep well, and he had gained weight recently."
"Don't give him milk just because he wants it. If he dies from overeating, you must take it easy. Do you hear me?"
"I know better than you. Don't worry. I am calling you to ask if you are coming over this week."
"Go over?" Dong Xuebing asked. "You just left last week. Why should I go over?"
"Your Sister Xie is organizing a field trip, and it's considered a holiday. You can bring your family along. If you are coming, we can go together."
"Didn't you just get promoted? Why is it a holiday? "
"It's not arranged by me. It's the Provincial Government, and it's not a holiday. It's mainly to learn from the coastal areas."
"Where are you going?"
"Macau."
"How many days?"
"About a week. We still have not decided on the destination, but the departure date is almost set. Many people will be going over, and they are the leaders of various cities in Jiangnan Province. If you are coming, you must apply for leave. You can fly over tomorrow or the day after."
Dong Xuebing smiled. "I had applied for a day off for our University's anniversary last Friday. Weekends do not count. Today is my third day in office, and I still need to apply for leave? Although our Second Bureau's Chief is friendly, he will not do what I did. "
"Haha … then don't come. I will go and have fun by myself. I am annoyed to see you."
"Don't. How can I miss out on a holiday? I have nothing to do here, and I don't have any important work to do. It's good to go out for a break." Dong Xuebing changed his tone. "Err … I will ask around, and if it's okay, I will go over. Hmmm … I think it should not be a problem. Anyway, it doesn't matter if I am in the unit or not. I will try my luck with Director Yin."
"Ok. Hurry up."
"Ok. Reserve a spot for me first."
"Don't worry. We have plenty of spots."
"That's right. Who dares to snatch our Xie University's Party Secretary's spot?"
"I'm glad you know. Haha … hurry up and serve me!"
"Go to the side. I've been serving you all this time, but you've never served me once!"
Dong Xuebing grumbled for a while and hung up. Dong Xuebing really wants to go for his wife's trip. Firstly, he misses his son, and secondly, he wants to have some fun with Xie Huilan. Since they got married, they seldom spend time together. Dong Xuebing has nothing better to do and is only trying to get some experience. That's why he wants to accompany his wife and son. Thirdly, his mother-in-law had asked him to protect Xie Huilan, and this trip is also a deterrent.
