Afternoon.
Dong Xuebing got off work.
Dong Xuebing, who had received his appointment letter, packed his things and left the office in a good mood.
"Chief Dong."
"You are off work?"
"Congratulations," Wang Yao said.
"Are you going to treat us to dinner?"
Everyone congratulated Dong Xuebing when they saw him leaving the office.
Everyone had heard about Dong Xuebing's promotion.
Dong Xuebing laughed. "Thank you. Treat? Alright. What do you all want to eat? My treat."
On the other side, Yin Chengan and Chen Dayou also walked out of their office. Both of them did not expect Dong Xuebing to be promoted. After all, Dong Xuebing had only been in the Second Bureau for a few days. It was only 3 months. They did not expect Dong Xuebing to be promoted so quickly.
But Yin Chengan still laughed. "What's wrong? Why didn't you invite Old Chen and me to dinner? "
Dong Xuebing laughed. "How can this be? We had just said we will be having dinner, and we are about to go to your offices to invite you all."
Yin Chengan replied. "That's for sure."
Dong Xuebing looked at Chen Dayou. He had been here for some time, and he had not had dinner with Old Chen. "Chief Chen?"
Chen Dayou thought for a while. "Ok."
Dong Xuebing asked. "Where shall we eat?"
"You can treat us. You decide." Yin Chengan replied. "I am fine with anything. I am not picky. Hahaha."
Han Fei laughed. "I am also fine with anything. But the more expensive, the better. I know Chief Dong does not lack money."
He Zhou laughed. "I am not asking you."
Everyone laughed, and even Chen Dayou smiled.
This should be their last meal together as colleagues in the same department. Dong Xuebing had received an order to be transferred to a new department in a few days. Dong Xuebing had a good impression of everyone in the Eighth Bureau's Second Bureau, and they got along well. To be honest, Dong Xuebing does not want to leave this place as he likes the atmosphere in the office. Now that he is leaving, Dong Xuebing also wants to have a good meal with everyone. He did not say where he is going, but he already had an idea.
… …
6 pm.
Outside Wang Fu Restaurant.
Both cars drove into the carpark, and everyone realized this is the place Dong Xuebing is treating to, and they chatted among themselves.
"Director Dong, are you sure you want to go to the Wang Residence?" Yin Chengan asked.
Dong Xuebing nodded. "I had called earlier to book a private room."
Chen Dayou felt that it was inappropriate. "This place is a little expensive. I think there are a few restaurants nearby that are not bad."
Dong Xuebing joked. "It's fine as long as they don't order expensive dishes. If not, I will stay to wash the dishes for them. Haha …"
Han Fei laughed and said, "Director Chen, Director Dong was promoted today. Let's not stand on ceremony with Director Dong." He then pointed at the Land Rover. "Director Dong's car, even one of its wheels is enough for us to have a few meals at Wang Fu Restaurant. Let's eat to our heart's content. Hehe."
Sun Zhaobang said in amusement, "You're really impolite."
"Why are you being so polite?" Han Fei said, "If you are too polite, it means that you are looking down on our Director Dong. We have to pick the more expensive ones. That's the only way to give Director Dong face!"
Dong Xuebing points at Han Fei. "It's fine. Let's order. I am also going all out today. Anyway, if I have no money this month, I will go to Xiao Han's house for a free meal! "
Everyone joked around as they walked in.
There were a lot of people today, and many people were walking in.
Dong Xuebing and the rest also entered the main hall. When they entered, they saw a few waiters and a man in a suit standing at the entrance. They seem to be waiting for someone. At first, they did not notice them and walked straight in. But the next moment, those people walked up to them.
The man in a suit walked up to Dong Xuebing politely. "Are you Mr. Dong?"
"Yes." Dong Xuebing was not surprised. Every time he comes, someone from Wang Fu Restaurant will come over to welcome him. Furthermore, he had called in advance to book a private room.
That middle-aged man quickly shook Dong Xuebing's hand. "Nice to meet you. The private room is ready. We have been waiting for you. This way, please."
Dong Xuebing replied. "You're welcome."
The middle-aged man explained. "The manager is not around today, and he asked me to come over to welcome you. Please forgive me if I am not a good host."
Dong Xuebing laughed. "Don't be so polite, ok? Every time I come here, you all are like this. I don't even dare to come here. "
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "The manager just called and said that you haven't been here for a long time. I thought that there was something wrong with the hospitality or the food was not good. If the food is not good, just let us know and we will immediately get someone to improve it."
Dong Xuebing replied. "Everything is fine. If the food here is not good, then there is no place in Beijing that tastes good. Haha … let's go."
"Ok. This way please." The middle-aged man led the way.
Chen Dayou, Han Fei, He Zhou, and the rest, who were behind, were stunned.
After so many incidents, everyone knew Dong Xuebing has a powerful background. But they did not expect Dong Xuebing to be so popular in Beijing. Even when he comes to Wang Fu Restaurant, someone will come over to welcome him. The rest of them looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes. They were wondering who this Discipline Inspection Officer, who appeared out of nowhere, was. How come they did not know him? Are they really so different in status? If not, how come they did not even know about Director Dong's background?
… …
Inside.
Inside the private room.
Everyone sat down, and the menus were served.
Dong Xuebing had wanted to order the dishes, but he did not order first. He gave the order to Yin Chengan, followed by Chen Dayou. Everyone ordered a dish, and the dishes they ordered are not expensive. Of course, this is only relative to this restaurant, and the dishes cannot be cheap. Finally, it's Han Fei's turn. This girl had ordered the most expensive dishes, but she still ordered a vegetarian dish. Dong Xuebing was speechless and could not change the dishes he ordered. He ordered three to four more dishes, and they are all the specialties of Wang Fu Restaurant. In the end, he ordered a bottle of Maotai.
Yin Chengan smacked his lips. "This is too luxurious."
Dong Xuebing replied. "It's fine. Today should be my last meal with all of you as colleagues from the same department. I am thankful for all your help, and it's only right for me to order more dishes. Don't stand on ceremony with me. You are looking down on me! "
Han Fei was craving for food. "Director Dong is the best."
Dong Xuebing laughed. "Alright. You must eat more later."
"Don't worry. There will not be any leftovers. If there are any leftovers, I will pack it up!" Han Fei replied.
The dishes were served very quickly. In less than five minutes, the wine was also served. The waiter opened it and poured a glass for everyone.
Dong Xuebing told the waiter. "That's all."
"Enjoy your meal." The waiter left the room.
Normally, there will be a waiter in charge of this room. But Dong Xuebing is not used to having outsiders watching him, and they are all leaders. That's why he asked them to leave. It's better for everyone to eat by themselves.
Han Fei was surprised. "I had eaten here with my father in the past, but the dishes are served very slowly. Half an hour is acceptable, and it's only five minutes? Isn't it too fast? "
Yin Chengan laughed. "It's because our Director Dong is more respected."
Dong Xuebing quickly replied. "No. It's because there are fewer people here." He raised his glass. "Director Yin, let me give you a toast first."
Yin Chengan also stood up, "Stop with the 'you', you've been appointed as the head of the new department's second division, and we are now of the same rank. I can't afford to accept your words, so let's not toast anymore. Let's have a toast together."
Dong Xuebing replied. "No. You are my leader as long as I am not around. I must give you this toast."
Yin Chengan had no choice but to toast with Dong Xuebing. The size of the glass is not big, and it's only about eight coins.
Then everyone clinked their glasses together.
"You guys go ahead. I'll eat first." Han Fei impatiently picked up her chopsticks and took a bite. Then, her face lit up. "Delicious!"
Dong Xuebing also said. "Let's eat."
The dishes here are very good, and the prices are high.
"Director Dong, let me give you a piece of meat. Hehe." Han Fei suddenly stopped eating and helped Dong Xuebing with her chopsticks. She had almost filled Dong Xuebing's bowl to the brim, and when Dong Xuebing's glass was empty, she refilled his glass. "Thank you for treating us to dinner. Let me also give you a toast to congratulate you on your promotion." Dong Xuebing said and raised his glass.
Dong Xuebing smiled and clinked glasses with her. "Thank you. Cheers."
Han Fei might not be good at drinking, but she still swallowed the glass. After that, she kept drinking her fruit juice. Dong Xuebing smiled.
"It's fine if you can't drink."
Han Fei replied angrily. "No. I must give in to Director Dong. You had already toasted, and there's no reason for me to drink a sip."
He Zhou and Sun Zhaobang saw Han Fei's attitude towards Director Dong and looked at each other. They laughed. They knew what Han Fei was planning. Dong Xuebing will be promoted to the Ninth Division's Second Chief, and she wants to follow him. In the past, she did not know Dong Xuebing would be promoted. But now, she knows, and she wants to show off. Han Fei had been eyeing this Deputy Divisional Chief position for a long time.
Dong Xuebing looked at it and knew what to do. Actually, before he was transferred, he had already thought of what to do.
