Noon.
Lunch is ready.
"Mum, it's ready."
"I can smell the food."
"Are we eating in the house or in the courtyard?"
"Let's eat in the courtyard. The air is good, and it's not cold."
"Alright. Xiao Ran and I will bring out the dishes and prepare to eat."
The dishes were soon served on the stone table, and everyone sat around it.
"Come and try my cooking." Dong Xuebing was very attentive and did not care about eating himself. He poured water for his mother-in-law, First Aunt, and Second Aunt. After that, he kept putting food into their bowl. Dong Xuebing was especially busy with his mother-in-law. He kept putting food into her bowl.
Xie Ran laughed and looked at Dong Xuebing curiously. He knew Dong Xuebing is very polite to the elders, but he had never seen his brother-in-law being so polite to him.
"Mum, eat this."
"Mum, try this."
"Mum, eat slowly."
Dong Xuebing is busy eating at the table.
Xia Yanzhen laughed. "Look at our Xiao Bing. He is so considerate."
Han Jing glanced at Dong Xuebing. "Why do I feel he must be up to no good? Haha … is there anything?" Dong Xuebing was stunned.
Dong Xuebing replied embarrassedly. "No. What can happen to me?"
Han Jing put down her chopsticks. "Alright. Just say it."
Dong Xuebing cleared his throat and said. "Err … I just want to ask about the restructuring you mentioned. You are going to set up two new departments, Unit 9 and Unit 10. These two departments have just been set up, and there must be a lack of manpower. The leadership positions are not decided yet, and I am thinking instead of waiting for the restructuring one month later, why don't I try my luck first? I am still holding a nominal position now, and I don't even have any leadership positions. Mum, do you think I have any hope? If I have any hope, can you help me ask? " Dong Xuebing paused for a while and quickly added. "But I am not doing this for myself. Mum, this is a new department, and it is quite troublesome. We need someone to hold the fort. You should know what I am capable of, right? That's why I volunteered to recommend myself. I'm doing this for the better development of the new department and for the smooth completion of this institutional reform. "
Xie Ran: "… …"
Ci Lifen is also speechless.
Han Jing laughed and said, "You make it sound so dignified. Why do you want to start work? Don't think I don't know that you are a fan of the government."
Dong Xuebing replied. "No."
Xia Yanzhen laughed. "Sister-in-law knows Xiao Bing well. We had been talking about this on the way here, and she told you that you will surely tell her about this. She is right." Dong Xuebing nodded. "You are right.
Dong Xuebing sweated and replied. "No … I am really …"
Han Jing looked at Dong Xuebing and said bluntly: "You had just caused such a big mess, and your unit had ordered you to reflect on your actions. You are still thinking about getting promoted."
Dong Xuebing replied. "It's not recorded in the file. It's just an administrative warning and not a suspension. Mum, please help me fight for it. I promise I will not get into trouble and will do my best to serve the people!" Dong Xuebing replied.
Han Jing laughed: "I don't believe you. You say the same thing every time. Every time, you bring trouble to me, and each time it gets bigger than the last."
Dong Xuebing quickly replied. "I will not do it again this time. Mum, have some more food." He picked up a few more dishes for his mother-in-law.
Han Jing smiled but did not say anything. She lowered her head to eat and did not answer him.
Dong Xuebing is panicking. "Mum, do you think I have a chance? I am almost done protecting Huilan, and her work is on track. She doesn't need me anymore. Even if she has something to do, I had blended in with the Second Bureau, and I have a good relationship with my colleagues. It doesn't matter if I am not in the Eighth Bureau. So … do you think I should go to the new department for training? "
Han Jing continued eating and did not say anything.
Dong Xuebing is panicking and did not have the mood to eat.
Xia Yanzhen wanted to laugh when she saw Dong Xuebing sitting on pins and needles. In the end, she said. "Why don't you use your brains? Do you think the restructuring will happen in a day or two? There was a proposal a year ago, and it was only approved yesterday. It will be implemented one month later. Actually, before you were appointed, our family already knows when the proposal will be approved and when the restructuring will be implemented. If we don't even have this information, what are we doing? "
Dong Xuebing was stunned. "It has been decided for a long time?"
"The higher-ups had discussed it many times, and it's basically decided." Xia Yanzhen said, "That's why your mother transferred you to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. She wants you to catch up with the institutional reform. Sister-in-law has put in a lot of effort for you. She knows you are young and inexperienced, and it's not realistic for you to be promoted directly to the divisional level. There will be too much pressure and resistance. So, she wants you to come to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and get a nominal position in the monitoring office for you. It's easy to adjust to a nominal position. Then, when the institutional reform starts, she will fight for a real position in a new department for you. In this way, you can be a divisional level official in the shortest time possible. If you hold on a little longer, it's not impossible for you to be promoted directly to the deputy director level.
Dong Xuebing got excited. "Ah … how come I don't know about this?"
Han Jing finally said. "You are such a government fanatic. I had told you about this earlier, and you still want to be promoted?"
Dong Xuebing laughed and quickly replied. "Thank you, Mum. You are the best to me. Haha …"
"Silly boy." Han Jing slapped Dong Xuebing's head. "It's my bad luck to have a son-in-law like you. You always make me worry."
Dong Xuebing asked. "Mum, when will the restructuring be done?"
"One month later. There will be some changes to the personnel." Han Jing looks at Dong Xuebing. "You should stay at home and reflect on your actions now. After all, you had just been punished, and there might be some changes. Go back to work after your break and perform well. I will speak to your Fourth Grandpa about the details. Just wait for the news."
Since his mother-in-law said so, it was pretty close to the truth.
Dong Xuebing was overjoyed. "Thank you, Mum."
Han Jing smiled. "You are thanking me for not making me worry."
Xie Ran smiled and said, "Mom, look at how good my aunt is. Brother-in-law got promoted again because of his words. Can you help me out too? Just a promotion will do."
Xia Yanzhen looks at her son. "Promoted? You are just going to the grassroots level, and you should train slowly. Don't compare yourself to your Brother-in-law. He is an exception in our family."
That's right.
Along the way, Dong Xuebing had seized every opportunity to get to where he is today. His path of promotion is unparalleled!
