A few days later.
Saturday morning.
Houhai, Siheyuan.
Dong Xuebing had been on leave for almost a week. His unit had not informed him to go back to work, and he did not call his unit. These few days, he had been watching movies and TV shows at home. Sometimes, he would drive out to look for good restaurants to eat. Anyway, Xie Huilan is busy, and Qu Yunxuan, Geng Yuehua, Yu Meixia, and the rest are all busy. Dong Xuebing had nowhere to go and could only stay at home.
Today is the same.
Dong Xuebing had moved his PC to the courtyard and connected it to the power supply. He placed his legs on the stone table and started enjoying the sun while watching a movie.
Xiao Cha was drinking tea.
The movie was playing.
He was eating melon seeds.
Dong Xuebing did not look like he was asked to go home by his leader. He was so relaxed, and those who did not know him would think he had made a big contribution and was given a day off by his unit. Dong Xuebing also did not feel like he had made any mistakes and was doing what he was supposed to do. To Dong Xuebing, this is a natural thing to do. He will go home when the time comes, and it's useless for him to worry about it. At least Fang Wenping is with him, and Dong Xuebing is in a good mood when he remembers that Fang Wenping is also at home reflecting on her actions. That Fang Wenping's rank is higher than him, and Dong Xuebing had profited.
Ring … ring … ring …
Dong Xuebing received a call.
Dong Xuebing can't be bothered to pause the movie. He saw it was Han Fei from his department and placed the phone on his ear.
"Hello, Xiao Han." Dong Xuebing replied.
Han Fei could hear Dong Xuebing's voice. "Are you busy, Chief Dong?"
"What's there to be busy with?" Dong Xuebing laughed. "I am watching a movie at home."
"Huh? What movies are there? Can you recommend one to me? "Han Fei asked.
Dong Xuebing replied. "< Blind Detective > is not bad. If you are a female, you can watch < Small Times >."
Han Fei replied. "Sigh … I am so envious of you. You are resting at home, and I still have to work during the weekends. I am so tired, and I really want to take a month off."
Dong Xuebing laughed and joked. "What's there to be envious of? Just go and make a mistake like beating or scolding someone, and the higher-ups will surely give you a day off."
Han Fei was also amused. "Hee hee, I don't have your courage."
Dong Xuebing asked. "Are you looking for me, Xiao Han? If you have something to say, say it. "
I just heard a piece of news today. I don't know if it's reliable. I asked my dad, but he didn't explain it clearly. Not only me, but He Zhou and Zhao Bang also heard about it. Many people in our unit are talking about it today. "
Dong Xuebing asked curiously. "What happened?"
Han Fei lowered her voice. "It is said that the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection is going to set up a new department. The internal structure may be increased, and there will be some adjustments and changes in several departments."
"Set up a new department?" Dong Xuebing was surprised.
"Yes, that's what they say," Han Fei said.
Dong Xuebing asked. "We already have 27 internal departments. How are we going to set up more departments?"
"They say it is to strengthen the frontline anti-corruption forces, and that's why we are setting up more departments. Of course, the leaders still do not know about it. Everyone is saying this, but I don't know if it is true. But since there are so many rumors, it should not be groundless. Someone or their family members should know about this. If it is really like what they say, strengthening the frontline anti-corruption forces will be referring to our First to Eighth Supervision Offices. Only our eight Supervision Offices are in charge of investigating cases, and the rest of the Supervision Offices are not considered 'direct'. That's why everyone is saying there might be changes to our eight Supervision Offices." Han Fei said.
Dong Xuebing frowned. "I have not heard about this. Everyone is saying this?"
"Yes. Director Yin did not refute them. But it seems like Old Yin also does not know about this. I thought you might know something." Han Fei replied.
Dong Xuebing laughed. "What Old Yin? I don't know about this, and I am not as clear as you. I will ask him when the time comes."
Han Fei smiled. "You must let me know if you want to know."
"Alright. No problem." Dong Xuebing replied helplessly. "But even if there are changes, it should not have much to do with us."
Han Fei blinked. "I know, but it might not be for sure. What if there are new departments, and there will be empty leadership positions, and … hehe …" Dong Xuebing laughed.
"I didn't know you are a government official fan."
Han Fei snorted. "That's right. Who doesn't want to be promoted and get rich? I had been promoted to Section Chief rank for more than a year, and there are still no changes. I am worried."
Dong Xuebing shook his head and laughed. "You are already a Section Chief at your age. That's fast."
Han Fei rolled her eyes. "I am still not as fast as you. You are already a Section Chief rank, and we are about the same age. Do you have to be so exaggerated?!"
Dong Xuebing thought to himself. You are not treating me as an outsider and dare to say anything. So, he used some of the leaders' positions to threaten her. "Alright. Don't think too much and don't listen to the rumors. We still don't know if it is reliable. If it is confirmed, the higher-ups will inform you. Focus on your work."
Han Fei replied. "I know."
"That's all for now. Carry on with your work." Dong Xuebing hung up.
But after the call ended, Lan Xuewen called from the Letter Visitors' Office.
"Old Lan." Dong Xuebing answered. "Are you off today?"
"No. I am working overtime. Are you at home?" Lan Xuewen replied.
"Yes. My leader asked me to reflect on my actions at home. Haha … what's the matter?" Dong Xuebing asked.
Lan Xuewen replied. "I heard there will be some changes to our department's internal structure. Do you have any news from your side? What are the changes going to be? Does it have anything to do with our Letter Visitors' Office? " Lan Xuewen paused for a while and smiled. "I am afraid there will be a merger of departments. I don't want to lose my position."
"You are still worried about your position?" Dong Xuebing laughed.
"It's hard to say. Nothing is certain." Lan Xuewen replied. "My department is almost ready, and I don't want any changes." Dong Xuebing replied.
Dong Xuebing replied. "Actually, I am also not sure. I heard from a colleague a few minutes ago, and I was watching a movie at home. If no one told me, I will also not know. I will ask them later. But even if they are going to take action, they should not take action against the Letter Visitors Office. No department can replace the work there."
"I hope so. I think so too." Lan Xuewen paused for a while. "Alright. I will not disturb you anymore. Let me know if you have any news."
Dong Xuebing nodded. "Ok. I will let you know after I ask around."
"Thank you." Lan Xuewen replied.
Lan Xuewen knew Dong Xuebing can get some information from him. Lan Xuewen's father-in-law is a member of the Politburo. This is a major change, and it's an important department in the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. Furthermore, the Xie family's Fourth Grandfather is a member of the Politburo Standing Committee and the Secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. If Dong Xuebing can't get any information from him, then this must be a rumor.
Everyone was in a state of panic and anxiety.
This is the general situation in the unit.
Although Dong Xuebing is not in the office, he could feel the tension in the office from the two calls. He is not surprised. If this is true, it will be a big deal. Setting up a new department? Merge some departments? Who wouldn't be nervous? If they were in the department that was going to be adjusted, it would be hard to say what would happen.
Change is the main theme of society.
Unfortunately, most adults didn't like change psychologically, because change meant uncertainty and instability. It would always make people feel a little unsettled.
Let's ask around.
Who should I ask?
Dong Xuebing took out his phone and thought for a while. In the end, he called his mother-in-law. Ring … ring … ring … ring … ring … the line got through.
Dong Xuebing heard Han Jing talking to someone. "See? You all still have nowhere to go? Let me find a place for you all."
Dong Xuebing replied. "Mum?"
"I am listening. Haha." Han Jing said, "Your call came at the right time. Your First and Second Aunts are at my place. They said they wanted to find a place to play mahjong. It's been a while since we had a gathering. But we are lacking one more person, and we don't have a venue. Let's go to your house. Your First and Second Aunts want to have a look at the courtyard house in Houhai. Is it convenient?"
Dong Xuebing laughed. "What are you talking about? How can it not be convenient? If my mum wants to visit, I will welcome her with open arms. I had invited you the last time, but you did not come. I had been waiting for you."
"My son-in-law is such a sweet talker. Haha." Han Jing is talking to the person on the other end of the line, and Dong Xuebing can hear two women laughing.
Dong Xuebing asked. "Should I go and fetch you all?"
"No need. I have a driver. Just give me the address." Han Jing replied.
"Ok. I will text you to your phone, and you can come over now?" Dong Xuebing asked.
"Yes. I will go over now. I will go to your place for lunch. Xiao Ran and Xiao Jing had praised your cooking when you went over. Can you let me try your cooking this time? Hmm? "Han Jing said with a smile.
"Alright. No problem. I will go and buy some groceries." Dong Xuebing said. "Oh, I do not have Mahjong at my place. I will buy one later."
Han Jing nodded. "I still have not asked. Are you looking for me? What's up? "
Dong Xuebing replied. "I am asking about the changes to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. I heard there will be a change in departments?"
"I guessed you would ask about this. You are quite well-informed. Alright, I will tell you about it later." Han Jing said a few more words and hung up the phone.
