Noon.
Courtyard House.
The sun is high in the sky, and the warm sunlight shines on the stone table. Four people are shuffling the tiles, and the sound of mahjong can be heard.
"Come, let's continue."
"East Wind."
"60,000 RMB."
"Wait. Have a tile."
"… yes, Little Chicken."
"Haha … I was waiting for Little Chicken. I won."
"Why did you win again? Xiao Bing, why do you keep giving your mother-in-law Firecrackers? "
"Alright. My son-in-law had also given you two Firecrackers earlier. Hurry up and pay up."
Dong Xuebing did not want to play with money at first, but Han Jing, Xia Yanzhen, Ci Lifen, and the rest are used to playing with money. He had no choice but to play with them. Of course, it's just 1 or 2 RMB, as everyone is not short of money. But even if it's just playing randomly, Dong Xuebing doesn't dare to win. So, Dong Xuebing did not dare to win. Instead, he played with his three elders. After his mother-in-law wins twice, his first aunt wins twice, and his second aunt wins once. Anyway, this is more of a test of his skills than playing cards properly.
He had lost more than 100 Firecrackers.
Dong Xuebing touched his pockets and realized he has no change.
"What's wrong? Did you lose all your money? "Han Jing laughed.
Dong Xuebing replied. "Can any of you give me some change? Sigh … the three of you are so good at playing Mahjong, and I can't take it anymore."
Xia Yanzhen laughed and looked at Dong Xuebing. "You had fed us Firecrackers, and it's impossible for you to win."
Ci Lifen added. "I heard Xiao Bing is good at Mahjong. How come you are so bad?"
Dong Xuebing replied modestly. "What's so good about me? I am much worse than you all."
"This kid is smart." Han Jing could tell Dong Xuebing is going easy on them. She looked at him and said. "I will not play anymore. It's boring."
Xia Yanzhen said. "Xiao Bing, you are good at Mahjong."
Dong Xuebing laughed. "I am good at Mahjong, but my skills are too bad."
"I don't believe it." Ci Lifen smiled and said, "In our family, you're the only one with a lot of crooked skills. You've never been to the police academy, and you're just an undergraduate who graduated from an ordinary university. You can even defuse a bomb and beat the old man at chess. I don't believe you can't play mahjong."
Dong Xuebing replied. "I really can't do it. You all are better."
Xia Yanzhen said, "He's always feeding us cards. It's not fun to play."
Han Jing looks at Dong Xuebing. "It's 12 pm. Let's play one last round after lunch. You must show me your skills this round. Do you hear me?"
"I really …" Dong Xuebing said.
"Did you hear that?" Han Jing asked again.
Dong Xuebing smiled. "Err … alright. I will have fun."
Xia Yanzhen smiled and said, "Show me what you've got. Let Auntie see your Mahjong skills."
Dong Xuebing changed some change and paid for the previous round. After that, everyone shuffled the cards, and the new round started.
This round, Dong Xuebing is the banker and had drawn his cards first. After he got his cards, he hesitated for a while and did not move.
Xia Yanzhen smiled. "What's wrong? Why are you taking so long? "
"You all are the ones who asked me to play better." Dong Xuebing said and cleared his throat. He spread out his cards slowly and pushed them forward. "Yes. Tianhu."
Tianhu?
Han Jing: "…"
Xia Yanzhen: "…"
Ci Lifen: "…"
The three of them did not believe Dong Xuebing. Although they knew Dong Xuebing had held back, they did not expect him to be so ruthless. The three of them looked at Tianhu and felt it was really Tianhu.
Ci Lifen laughed and pointed at Dong Xuebing. "I told you this brat knows how to play mahjong. His acting earlier is quite convincing. Look at him, he had won all his money back with one round." Dong Xuebing was speechless.
Dong Xuebing quickly said. "No, no. The last round is free."
Xia Yanzhen said, "Is there something fishy going on? How did you cheat? "
"Err … I'm just lucky." Dong Xuebing replied casually.
Xia Yanzhen could see through Dong Xuebing. "You had never played Mahjong before. Big Sister-in-law had only asked you to play Mahjong, and you started playing Mahjong. How can you be so lucky?"
Han Jing shook her head helplessly and looked at Dong Xuebing. Her eyes were filled with love and affection. The more she looks at her son-in-law, the more satisfied she is with him. "You are so young, and I wonder how you are so capable. I have never seen anything you don't know. Haha … I'm done playing with you.
Xia Yanzhen looks at her watch. "Xiao Ran will be here soon."
"Huh? Xiao Ran is back? "Dong Xuebing asked.
"He came back last night." Xia Yanzhen laughed. "Recently, this brat will fly back every weekend and does not return home on Sundays and Saturdays. I wonder what he is doing. I thought he might have a girlfriend, but he refused to tell me." But when I asked him, he wouldn't tell me. It's so worrisome. "
As they were chatting, the door opened.
Xie Ran walked in alone. "Mum."
Xia Yanzhen looks at him. "Come and help your Brother-in-law to cook."
Xie Ran greeted Han Jing and Li Fen before turning to Dong Xuebing. "Brother-in-law, I am here to freeload again. I can help you cook."
Dong Xuebing replied. "Alright. Let's go."
… …
Kitchen.
Han Jing had come into the kitchen for a walk when Dong Xuebing is cooking. She saw Dong Xuebing cooking and nodded.
But Dong Xuebing is not paying attention. What kind of character does he have when they are playing mahjong? Dong Xuebing is a typical government fanatic, and he had never avoided it. That's why when his mother-in-law told him about the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection's reform, he sensed this is an opportunity for him, and it's an opportunity he must not miss.
Why?
The reason is simple!
The eight Supervision Offices will be expanded to ten, and the two new Supervision Offices will be empty. The rest of the staff can be recruited from the lower levels or transferred from other Supervision Offices. But what about the leaders in the Supervision Offices? Office Chief, Deputy Chief, Department Chief, etc. How many vacancies are there?! Dong Xuebing might be a Divisional Inspector now, but he is nothing. He does not have any leadership positions. He can even be called a Divisional Inspector. Dong Xuebing is always thinking about his next leadership position. That is the real Divisional Inspector, and Dong Xuebing is different from his current position. He does not have any authority and is not in charge of many things.
Now, this is his chance!
There are so many vacancies for Divisional Heads, and why can't he fight for it?
Under normal circumstances, Dong Xuebing, who had just joined the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection a few months ago, will not be promoted even if he had a lot of achievements. His time in the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection is too short, and he still has not warmed up his career. How can he be promoted? Even if his Fourth Grandfather is the Head of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, he still cannot be promoted. That's why if Dong Xuebing wants to be promoted from a nominal position to a Divisional Chief, he will need at least two years. After all, he is only 25 or 26 years old, and he had been promoted many times. No matter what, he still needs to go through this period. It's impossible for him to be promoted smoothly all the time. This is the system, and it has its own rules. But a restructuring is different. This is an internal restructuring, and it is a special case. It's like a County City being promoted to a Prefectural City. The County City's First and Second Leaders will be promoted automatically. It's the same for the rest of the people below them. This is an overall change, and it has nothing to do with their experience. This is the same for the Commission for Discipline Inspection. Even if Dong Xuebing does not have enough experience, and his working hours are too short, he still has a high chance of getting promoted. At least, there will not be as many obstacles as other job changes. Dong Xuebing also has his wife's Fourth Grandfather.
Hope?
Then he must fight for it!
No. He must not fight for it. He must do his best to get it!
Dong Xuebing's character is good. If he thinks something is possible, he will not give up. He will try his best to get it. That's why when he was playing mahjong, he was thinking about how to implement this. He is also thinking about how to talk to his mother-in-law about this. Dong Xuebing is not close to his wife's Fourth Grandfather, and it's hard to talk to him. He had made a mistake at work and had a fight with Fang Wenping. Dong Xuebing also does not dare to talk to his father-in-law. He is still being ordered to reflect on his actions. Han Jing is the best candidate. Dong Xuebing knows his mother-in-law dotes on him and is easy to talk to. He can only talk to his mother-in-law about this.
Although Dong Xuebing is a bit embarrassed to talk to his mother-in-law, this is a Divisional Head position, and it's a rare opportunity. Dong Xuebing must fight for it!
A Divisional Head.
A real Divisional Head!
Dong Xuebing had been thinking about this position for a long time!
If he can get this position, he can save two years of hard work!
How many two years does a person have? In the government, time is the life of a politician! The younger a person is, the further he can go in the government! Dong Xuebing does not want to waste two years of experience in the Second Bureau and then get a Divisional Head position. If that's the case, he will also have to continue to work. Two more years? Three more years? How can he catch up to his wife? Xie Huilan is already a County Government official and is the City's Party Secretary. Xie Huilan will be a Deputy Ministerial Minister if she is to catch up to his wife. He felt the pressure is too much and must catch up to his wife as soon as possible. That's why he can't catch up to his wife. He can only seize the opportunity now.
This time, he must get this position done!
Saving two years of hard work is another two years!
Otherwise, there wouldn't be another chance like this once they passed this village!
