Next day.
Monday morning.
Dong Xuebing was still sleeping soundly on his bed when his phone rang. He got a fright and opened his eyes to look at his phone beside his pillow. He took a deep breath to calm himself down and yawned before reaching for his phone.
It was Zhang Dongliang from the Second Bureau.
Dong Xuebing answered. "Hello, Dongliang."
"Director Dong, did I disturb your rest?" Zhang Dongliang asked.
"It's almost 7 am." Dong Xuebing looked at his watch. "It's time to wake up. What's the matter?"
Zhang Dongliang nodded. "It's the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection's open day. They had been discussing this for the past few days. If there are no accidents, they should be arriving at our Agency this morning. Director Yin had attended a meeting the day before yesterday. But I heard that if it's not related to our department, they will not be coming to the Eighth Bureau for inspection or exchange. They should be going to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection's press conference room before coming to our Agency for a walk. Director Yin had asked us to carry on with our work. But he asked me to inform everyone to arrive earlier today."
"Ok. I know." Dong Xuebing replied.
Inform everyone not to be late? Forget it. He should be the only one who informed me.
Dong Xuebing knew what Zhang Dongliang was doing. He knew Zhang Dongliang was trying to be polite. Most people will not be late for such important events. But Dong Xuebing is different in the eyes of others. That's why the leader is worried and asked someone to inform him.
Sigh.
Look at this brother's character.
Zhang Dongliang asked. "Do you have any other instructions, Director Dong? If not, I … "
"Ok." Dong Xuebing was about to hang up when he remembered something. "Oh, Dongliang, do you know anyone from the driver's section? Anyone will do. Give me a call if you are free today. "
Zhang Dongliang asked. "You are using a car?"
Dong Xuebing did not hide anything. "I am sending a friend. It's not far. It's Hebei Province."
Zhang Dongliang did not ask much. Although the company's bus and driver could only be used by the leaders, there were not so many official matters. Therefore, most of the buses were used for private purposes. This was unavoidable in every department. Zhang Dongliang did not think there was any problem. Even if it was the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, this was a small matter. If the leaders did not even have this little power, how could they be leaders? "Okay, no problem. I am already in the office. I will go to the driver's office and see who is free. I will send you the driver's phone number later."
Dong Xuebing replied. "Ok. Thank you."
"Thank you. I will go now." Zhang Dongliang hung up.
Dong Xuebing dawdled for a while before getting off the bed to brush his teeth and wash up.
Zhang Dongliang's actions were fast and meticulous. Ten minutes later, he sent Dong Xuebing a phone number with "Old Han" written on it.
Dong Xuebing immediately called Luo Haiting.
"Hello, Xuebing." Luo Haiting laughed.
"Sister Luo." Dong Xuebing asked. "Are you going back today?"
"Let's go back. It's fine to stay here," Luo Haiting said.
Sister Luo had come on an urgent mission and was sent by Fen Zhou City's government vehicle. But because Fen Zhou City does not have many vehicles, the vehicle had to be sent back on the same day. If Sister Luo wants to leave, she still needs to contact Fen Zhou City's Commission for Discipline Inspection. She might not have enough time, and it's troublesome. So, Dong Xuebing arranged it for her. "Ok. You don't need to contact your unit for a car. It's too troublesome. I have prepared a car for you. Let me give you a phone number. The driver is Old Han."
Luo Haiting sighed. "Look at you. There's really no need. Don't trouble yourself."
Dong Xuebing replied. "It's not troublesome. Just call this number and ask the driver to pick you up and send you back."
Luo Haiting replied. "You had bought so many things for me and even helped me find a car. It's not right. If you keep being so polite, I might not visit you next time. Haha …"
"Don't be like this." Dong Xuebing laughed. "Then I will not be so polite next time. Just listen to me this time and remember my number. "
Luo Haiting nodded. "Ok. Tell me."
Dong Xuebing said. "Have a safe trip. Let's keep in touch."
Luo Haiting whispered, "Give me a call in advance if you're coming to Fen Zhou City." She whispered in a low voice, which made her look ambiguous.
Dong Xuebing cleared his throat. "Ok. Ok."
After hanging up, Dong Xuebing hummed a tune and left for work.
… …
8 am.
The unit's compound.
Dong Xuebing drove his Land Rover into the compound and saw many people busy in the compound. Some were arranging banners, and some were cleaning up. The Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision has established friendly relations with anti-corruption organizations in more than 80 countries and regions. This open day was held by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. The International Department of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection invited 14 politicians, think tank scholars, and senior media figures from 14 countries in Asia, Africa, Europe, and the United States to visit the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and learn about the Party's anti-corruption efforts. That's why when there is an inspection, everyone is busy "showing their face." Even the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection is not an exception. Of course, these last-minute efforts are not considered "showing their face." They are also showing their respect to their foreign friends.
Everyone is busy preparing for the inspection in the morning.
Anyway, this has nothing to do with the Second Bureau. He drove slowly to the bottom of the building. He was not in a hurry.
At this time, the Second Bureau's Chief Yin Chengan walked over with a laptop. He saw Dong Xuebing and immediately called out. "Chief Dong, you are here?"
Dong Xuebing smiled. "Good morning, Chief Yin."
"Good morning to you too." Yin Chengan quickly said, "You came at the right time. Then I won't be going upstairs. There's still a meeting waiting for me. Tell everyone that the foreign dignitaries, observers, and media personnel will be arriving at around 10 PM. It won't be long, so tell everyone to be careful. If there's nothing else, just stay in the office and don't go downstairs. Anyway, be strict in all aspects.
Dong Xuebing nodded. "Ok. Carry on with your work."
"Alright. I will leave this place to you." Yin Chengan said and walked towards an office building not far away. As the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, he is busier than the rest.
Almost everyone is paying attention to this open day. There are many media outlets from the Central Government, such as Xinhua News Agency, Youth Daily, People's Daily, etc. Also, foreign politicians are involved. This is a sensitive issue, and everyone can see the serious and urgent atmosphere on everyone's faces. The atmosphere is even more serious than the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.
Of course, Dong Xuebing is an exception.
Dong Xuebing does not know what is urgent. Ever since he had fun with Sister Luo, he had been relaxing.
… …
Upstairs.
Second Bureau's office.
Dong Xuebing stood at the entrance and saw everyone in the office had arrived. He counted, and all of them had arrived early.
"Chief Dong."
"Morning, Chief Dong."
Han Jing, He Zhou, and the rest greeted Dong Xuebing.
Dong Xuebing smiled. "Good morning." Dong Xuebing paused for a while and looked at them seriously. He clapped his hands to get everyone's attention. "Chief Yin had gone to the meeting. Let me say something." Zhang Dongliang, Sun Zhaobang, and the rest stood up from their chairs to show their respect. Dong Xuebing waved his hand. "Have a seat. Everyone should know about today's opening day. Be alert and focus on your work. Don't be distracted. Although the higher-ups did not say that they will be coming to inspect our Eighth Branch, there are so many reporters here. Who knows if they will pass by our door? If they take pictures of us chatting and playing games, our Second Branch will be famous. I believe no one wants to see this. So, be careful." Zhang Dongliang, Sun Zhaobang, and the rest stood up slowly to show their respect.
"Yes."
"Yes, Sir."
Everyone responded in unison.
Actually, if Yin Chengan were to say this, it would be fine. But Dong Xuebing, who had just beaten someone up in his workplace, felt uncomfortable saying this. This is not his leadership style. His leadership style had always been kind and considerate. Even when he was transferred to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, his leadership style had never changed. Those who had worked under Dong Xuebing before knew how much care Dong Xuebing had for his subordinates. Dong Xuebing smiled. "I also know we don't have much work to do here, and we don't have much work to do. You can play games, chat on QQ, etc. Actually, it's fine. But when you hear footsteps outside, try to minimize it. Although it's a test of your hand speed, all of us had been working in the government service for so many years, and I believe all of you have trained your hand speed. Don't think I don't know all of you play games during your working hours."
Han Fei giggled.
He Zhou, Sun Zhaobang, and the rest laughed and felt embarrassed.
"Ok. That's all. Carry on with your work." Dong Xuebing waved his hand and entered his office. Suddenly, he turned and said. "Whoever wants tea leaves, go to my office."
Han Fei immediately shouted. "I want! I want!"
He Zhou laughed. "You don't need to be so polite with me."
"Why are you so polite with Chief Dong? We are rich, and I will help you all get some tea leaves. Chief Dong's tea leaves must be good. Hehe." Han Fei followed He Zhou into his office.
After a few days, Dong Xuebing can no longer keep a low profile. But at the same time, his relationship with his subordinates and colleagues had improved.
This is a good sign.
