Morning.
The weather was good.
City's Party Committee Office Building.
Everyone looked at Dong Xuebing as he entered the hall. Dong Xuebing had become more reserved. It's not that he is arrogant, but his wife is the City's Party Secretary and the local government's top leader. As her husband, Dong Xuebing is very concerned about his wife and cannot let her down. That's why he has to be polite to his wife. Dong Xuebing had been in the government service for three years and had learned a lot. He is no stranger to changing his identity and is able to do it.
Inside the building.
A female staff member heard what Secretary Xie said outside and was shocked. When she saw Dong Xuebing entering the lobby, she quickly went over to welcome him.
"Mr. Dong."
"Yes."
"This way please. I will show you the way."
"Haha … Ok. Thank you."
"You're welcome. This way please."
The female staff walked over to press the elevator button and then turned to Dong Xuebing politely with a warm smile on her face.
There were a few staff members beside them, and they heard what was said outside. But when they realized what was going on, someone had already gone to receive Dong Xuebing. The few staff members hesitated for a while and did not go up. They felt they had missed an opportunity and looked at the female staff member who pressed the elevator button for Dong Xuebing with jealousy. This person in front of them is the City's Party Committee Secretary's husband. He is almost the same as the Party Committee Secretary. If Dong Xuebing can remember him, he can just inform Party Secretary Xie about him, and he might be promoted. Who doesn't want to interact with the leaders and their families?
Ding!
The elevator arrived.
The female staff member quickly let Dong Xuebing go up first and pressed the top floor button.
The door closed.
The female staff member was nervous and wanted to say something. She mustered up her courage and said. "Mr. Dong, there is a Provincial Leader coming for an inspection today. He will be arriving soon, and Party Secretary Xie's office might be empty. What do you want to order or drink? I will prepare it for you."
Dong Xuebing laughed. "Thank you. No need to trouble yourself."
The female staff member wanted to say something to Dong Xuebing, but she did not know what to say.
Dong Xuebing laughed and asked. "I had just alighted from the plane yesterday, and the environment here is quite nice. There are mountains and rivers. You all should be having a good time at work, right?"
The female staff member immediately smiled and said, "Yes, the air here is good, suitable for living." She paused and said, "Are you here to stay?"
Dong Xuebing replied. "I will not be staying for long. I have an opportunity to go overseas for an exchange program, and I will be going with Huilan. I will be leaving after I return."
They chatted casually for a while before the elevator arrived.
Ding! The door opened and the two of them walked out.
"Secretary Xie's office is over there." The female staff said: "Let me pour you a cup of tea."
Dong Xuebing looked around the corridor. No one is around, and it's quiet. "Alright. Thank you."
Dong Xuebing entered the room and sat on his wife's sofa. The room was spacious, and the lighting was good. The female staff also entered the room and prepared tea for him. She also brought some fruits and melon seeds for him. Dong Xuebing did not know where she got it from. Dong Xuebing did not know what to do with his wife. Instead, he sat on the sofa. A few minutes later, Dong Xuebing asked the female staff member to go back and enjoy his tea.
Dong Xuebing did not even have the time to enjoy his tea.
Knock, knock … someone knocks on the door.
"Come in."
"Hello, Mr. Dong."
"You are?"
"I am Wang Liang from the City's Committee Office. You can call me Xiao Wang." The man is in his thirties, and he is holding a fruit platter in his hands. The watermelon skin is peeled beautifully, and it looks like a KTV fruit platter. He placed the fruit platter on the coffee table in front of Dong Xuebing. "Please enjoy. The Provincial Leaders will be arriving soon, and Secretary Xie should not be back anytime soon. Just call me if you need anything."
Dong Xuebing smiled. "Thank you."
"You are welcome. This is what I should do."
Seeing that he had nothing more to say, Wang Liang took his leave and quietly closed the door behind him.
Dong Xuebing left.
Someone is here again.
Dong Xuebing heard someone knocking on the door and put down the toothpick he used to pierce the watermelon. He looked up and said. "Come in."
Outside was a middle-aged woman who was less than forty years old. She was not bad looking and had the typical dainty and gentle appearance of a southerner.
The woman entered and looked at Dong Xuebing suspiciously. "Is Secretary Xie around?"
Dong Xuebing points downstairs. "She should be in the compound."
"You must be Secretary Xie's husband?" The woman quickly smiles. "Nice to meet you. I am Gao Jie from the Publicity Department. I am in charge of the TV station."
Dong Xuebing laughed. "Nice to meet you, Sister Gao."
"I am not worthy of this title." Gao Jie replied. "Just call me Old Gao."
Dong Xuebing said. "If you are looking for Xie Huilan, why don't you wait for her to come back? I don't think she is free now, and there are leaders coming to inspect the station. "
"I have something to ask Secretary Xie." Gao Jie thought for a while and looks at the chair opposite the sofa. "Can I wait here for a while?"
"Of course."
"Thank you in advance."
"This is not my office. Haha … You're welcome."
Gao Jie sat opposite Dong Xuebing. She should be a government official as she is not shy. "Mr. Dong, can I have a cup of tea?"
"Go ahead." Dong Xuebing made an inviting gesture.
Gao Jie poured a cup of tea for Dong Xuebing before pouring a cup for herself.
Dong Xuebing could tell she knows his surname is Dong. She should have overheard what Xie Huilan said earlier and knew Xie Huilan is in the compound waiting to receive the Provincial Leaders. But Gao Jie still knocked on the door and is not looking for Xie Huilan. She is looking for Dong Xuebing.
"You have just arrived here? Are you used to this place? The air here is humid, and northerners might not be used to it. "Gao Jie tried to find a topic to chat with Dong Xuebing.
Dong Xuebing has nothing to do.
It's a pleasure to chat with a beautiful woman.
Dong Xuebing chatted with her and laughed from time to time.
Dong Xuebing knew these people are not here for him. They are here for Xie Huilan, the City's Party Secretary. They want to get in touch with Xie Huilan through him, and that's why they are so polite to him. Dong Xuebing smiled in his heart. His wife had been promoted, and he had also become popular. He had never received such treatment in the past. In the past, when he was in office, everyone was either afraid of him or would hide far away when they saw him. Thinking about it, it was quite interesting.
