Morning.
In the office.
"Ah?" Han Fei was speechless.
Luo Haiting said. "You are working overtime? How can you do that?! "
Zhang Lili also hurriedly said, "Don't do that. This won't do."
Li Hong looks at Dong Xuebing. "Then … should I join you?"
Dong Xuebing waved his hand. "Forget it. Go back in the afternoon and have a good Lunar New Year. I will take charge here."
Han Fei quickly replied. "It's not suitable."
Dong Xuebing laughed. "I have nothing to do at home, and I will be staying here. Alright, let's stop talking about this. Alright, let's get back to work."
"Huh … Chief Dong …" Zhang Lili said.
Dong Xuebing did not say anything and waved his hand before returning to his office.
After the door closed, Zhang Lili sighed. "Our Chief Dong is so understanding towards his subordinates."
Luo Haiting looked at her and said, "Director Dong has always been like this. You might not know this, but when Director Dong and I were still working in the county, some of our colleagues and commoners met with a natural disaster. Director Dong didn't hesitate to rush forward to save them. In the end, all the colleagues and commoners were rescued, but Director Dong was trapped in the bus and buried by a landslide. It took a long time for the rescue vehicles to arrive before they could rescue him. If he had been a few minutes later, Director Dong might have … Sigh." Luo Haiting wants to put in a good word for Dong Xuebing. She wants to show Dong Xuebing that he is a good leader. Many people were shocked by what happened at that time, and Dong Xuebing is a good leader.
Han Fei was shocked. "Really?"
Luo Haiting nodded and said, "There are many more. During the earthquake, Director Dong also saved many people. I don't even want to talk about it."
Zhang Lili sighed. "No wonder."
Li Hong, who does not like to talk, was touched.
Indeed, there weren't many leaders who could do this.
"Then …" Li Hong paused for a while. "Should I work overtime? It's not good to let Chief Dong work alone."
Zhang Lili said, "I actually don't have much to do at home. I'm just preparing for the New Year's goods and organizing a relative's wedding. I can do it too."
Luo Haiting knows Dong Xuebing well and replied. "Chief Dong had said he is on duty, and no one can change his mind."
…
In the house.
Dong Xuebing was busy with his documents. Actually, he is bored. Go home? No one is around, and Xie Huilan is the Party's Party Secretary. She might not even be back on Lunar New Year's Eve, and Dong Xuebing's mother, Luan Xiaoping, is also busy. Qianqian had been sent back to take care of Uncle Yang, and Uncle Yang is also busy. Dong Xuebing's mother had to attend social engagements with Uncle Yang every day and doesn't have time to rest. That's why Dong Xuebing will be resting alone at home. Since Sister Luo and the rest are busy and don't want to be on duty, Dong Xuebing can only take over.
One hour …
Two hours …
In the blink of an eye, it was noon.
Dong Xuebing left his office for lunch, and Luo Haiting, Zhang Lili, and the rest were packing their things. All of them were embarrassed to see Director Dong.
"Chief Dong."
"Do you want me to work overtime?"
A few of them volunteered as well.
Dong Xuebing laughed and waved his hand. "Forget it. Have a good Lunar New Year. Oh, I had sent out the gifts. Go and collect them and wish your family well." Every Lunar New Year, the government will give out gifts. Other than bonuses, it will be shopping cards, fish, meat, onions, etc.
Han Fei could only say, "Then, thank you, Director Dong."
Zhang Lili said. "I will visit you on the second day of Lunar New Year. Are you around?"
"Let's talk over the phone." Dong Xuebing continued. "But let me tell all of you that no one is allowed to bring gifts. I don't even want fruits. I will not pick on you all if you are not here. Haha … this is how it is. It is fate for all of us to work together, and I do not lack gifts. I appreciate your kind intentions, and I am not picky. Old Luo should know about this."
Luo Haiting nodded. Everyone knows Dong Xuebing does not accept gifts. Also, as Dong Xuebing had said, he does not need to accept gifts. Most people accept gifts for money or to build a relationship. But Dong Xuebing does not need any gifts. Relationship? Dong Xuebing had offended almost all the leaders during his working days, and his colleagues and staff had to avoid him. But what can they do? Dong Xuebing had been promoted because he is capable. There is no need for him to do this for money. Chief Xiao Dong's net worth is more than 100 million RMB, and he does not even care about a few million RMB worth of car accidents. How can he be short of money? Instead, it will be a hidden danger, and it is not worth it.
Dong Xuebing has always been like this, and no one can measure him like other leaders. He had never acted according to the rules.
The staff left one after another.
All of them had returned home for Lunar New Year.
Dong Xuebing went downstairs alone and saw Luo Haiting, Zhang Lili, and the rest collecting their gifts. Dong Xuebing went to the cafeteria by himself. Today, the first and second cafeterias were closed. Only the third cafeteria was open. Because everyone had gone home, there were not that many people in the unit. There was no need to open so many cafeterias. Of course, there was another reason — the cafeteria chefs had basically gone home for the New Year. After receiving the New Year's goods, there were not many people left in the unit. Only a few staff from a few departments stayed.
In the cafeteria.
Dong Xuebing looked around, and most of them were low-ranking staff members. Everyone had a gloomy look on their faces, and they were in a bad mood because they had to work overtime. Dong Xuebing guessed he was the only department head in the entire unit who had to work overtime.
"Director Fang."
"Eh? You are still at work?"
Dong Xuebing heard some voices behind him, and he turned to see Fang Wenping entering the cafeteria. A few staff members are talking to her.
Fang Wenping replied calmly. "I will leave after dinner."
Someone asked Dong Xuebing. "Director Dong? You are still here? "
Dong Xuebing laughed. "I am working overtime for a few days, and I have nothing to do at home."
"Ah? You are working overtime? "That young man looked at Dong Xuebing in shock." Where are your subordinates? "
Dong Xuebing points outside. "I had asked them to go back. It doesn't matter who is staying behind. Someone must be on duty for the last shift."
That young man: "… …"
The rest of the staff were speechless. But they are still impressed by Dong Xuebing. The rest of the staff had left during the Lunar New Year, and Dong Xuebing, as a leader and the head of a department, had asked his subordinates to go back for Lunar New Year. Not many people will do something like this.
Fang Wenping heard that and looked at Dong Xuebing. After getting her food, she turned to Dong Xuebing and said. "Let's eat together!"
Dong Xuebing is not willing, but he has no choice. So many people are looking at him, and he can't reject Fang Wenping. He can only sit at a table in the corner with her. A few days ago, Fang Wenping and Dong Xuebing had quarreled in the cafeteria. But two to three months had passed, and they are eating together again. The rest of the leaders saw this and were confused. Anyway, they don't understand Dong Xuebing and Fang Wenping's relationship. Dong Xuebing also doesn't know what is going on.
On the table.
Fang Wenping asked coldly. "How is Qianqian?"
Dong Xuebing can't be bothered to look at her and continued eating. "She is fine. Her mother is taking care of her."
"Ok." Fang Wenping took out a box and threw it to Dong Xuebing. "This is for Qianqian. I am giving this to her."
Dong Xuebing was surprised and thought to himself. You are quite considerate. He opened the box quietly and saw a longevity lock made of pure gold. This is not cheap, and Dong Xuebing quickly closes the box. He does not want anyone to gossip about him. This is the Commission for Discipline Inspection. "Is it too expensive?"
Fang Wenping kept quiet and continued eating.
Dong Xuebing cleared his throat. "Alright. I will thank you on behalf of Qianqian."
"You don't need to thank me." Fang Wenping finished her food quickly and left.
Dong Xuebing shook his head and returned to his office. He sat down in his chair, and he is the only one left in the office. It's quiet outside.
It's another year.
I am one year older.
I should be 27 this year, right?
Now that he thought about it, the days passed really quickly.
At this moment, Dong Xuebing calmed down. Many memories flashed through his mind. Dong Xuebing had to do a year-end report at the end of every year. But he also likes to summarize his performance and make a plan for the rest of the year. This had become his habit. This year, Dong Xuebing had performed well and was satisfied with his performance. He had become a Divisional Chief at the age of 26 or 27. Anyone would be satisfied with this. This was already a rocket to the top. But Dong Xuebing is not someone who is satisfied. Once he reaches this level, he will think of the next level. He is used to giving himself a target and motivation.
He will be promoted to a Divisional Leader.
He will also be promoted to a Divisional Leader.
Dong Xuebing cannot focus on the present, or else he will not be able to improve. Now, Dong Xuebing's target should be a Deputy Divisional Leader. He decided to try his best.
Ok.
Half a year!
I will only have half a year's time!
Dong Xuebing wants to see if he can get the position of a Deputy Divisional Leader within half a year. Although he knows it is not possible, he is excited to do this. He cannot stay idle, and there is nothing interesting to do in the Second Bureau. Dong Xuebing must find something to do, and this target is the best for him!
