One minute …
Five minutes …
Ten minutes …
Dong Xuebing continued.
In the end, Dong Xuebing felt it was too slow. Although he had not tried using FORWARD to execute multiple commands, since REVERSE can work, it should not be a problem to use FORWARD. So, Dong Xuebing used MENU to look at his remaining time. After some calculations, he used all the time he had saved. He wanted to see what would happen in the future, and if there was an opportunity, he would be able to make some preparations. If there was no useful information, then this FORWARD would be a waste. Of course, most of the time he used might not be useful. The opportunity to be promoted to a Deputy Chief was not easy to come by, and all Dong Xuebing could do was to give it a try. But if he did not give it a try, he would not give up easily.
Forward for three hours!
One minute of FORWARD is equivalent to one day, and if converted to forward, it will be 6 months. That is about 6 months, and it was the deadline for Dong Xuebing to be promoted to Deputy Chief within 6 months!
This was basically all the time he had left!
Dong Xuebing had used up all his savings this time! That was the remaining time he had saved for more than 6 months, and he had used almost all of it. Success or failure will depend on this!
… …
The FORWARD ended.
The mailbox outside the villa also had some changes. The mailbox seemed to have bounced, and there was a scratch on it. Someone must have touched it within the last six months. When Dong Xuebing opened the mailbox excitedly, there were three newspapers in it. His family must have subscribed to a lot of newspapers. The more newspapers from the future, the more information Dong Xuebing will have, and the more opportunities he will have to find the answers.
Beijing Evening News.
Beijing Times.
The last one was from People's Daily.
Dong Xuebing hugged the three newspapers in his arms and casually picked one of them out to look at the date. It's from 6 months later. Dong Xuebing hid the newspaper as he must not let anyone see it. If not, his special ability will be exposed. After that, he sneaked back to his villa. It's already 10 pm when he returned to the villa.
In the villa.
"Brother-in-law, where are you going?" Xie Hao asked.
Dong Xuebing replied casually. "I am going out for some fresh air."
Xie Hao moved closer to Dong Xuebing. "If you are free, can you teach me martial arts? Hehe …"
"Forget it. Go back to where you came from. I have taught you many times, and you still don't know how to learn." Dong Xuebing chased Xie Hao out. In the past, Xie Hao kept pestering Dong Xuebing to learn from him. Dong Xuebing had tried to teach Xie Hao, but Xie Hao is too stupid to learn. After that, Dong Xuebing gave up on teaching him. Furthermore, Dong Xuebing has more important things to do now. It's dark outside, and he can't read the newspapers clearly. He needs to go back to his room to read the newspapers to see if he can be promoted to Deputy Bureau Chief.
"Mum, I need to go upstairs."
"Sleeping again? It's almost midnight. "
"I know. I will come down in a while."
"Ok. There will be dumplings in the pot later. Come down for dinner."
"Alright. I will wake up after a while. The alcohol is still in my system, and my head is aching."
Dong Xuebing made up a story and told Han Jing and the rest of the elders. After that, he went upstairs to the guest room where he had slept in the afternoon. He turned around and closed the door. Not only did he close the door tightly, but he also locked it from the inside.
Everything is ready.
I can read the newspapers now.
Dong Xuebing took a deep breath and took out three newspapers from his pocket. He opened them one by one and chose Beijing Evening News first.
The front page is about political news. This kind of news should be useful to Dong Xuebing as he is working for the government. But after a few pages, Dong Xuebing is speechless. There are only news about the leaders meeting with foreign guests, negotiations, etc. There is nothing useful. Dong Xuebing continued reading, but there is nothing. He flipped to the second page, third page, and fourth page to read the latest news.
Table Tennis World Championship.
Which place was flooded by rain.
A fight broke out on a public bus.
Dong Xuebing had read Beijing Evening News every day in the past and knew it's about these kinds of news. He is not surprised. He flipped through the newspaper several times, and there's nothing useful. He threw the newspaper aside and picked up Beijing Times. He did not miss a single word and read it from the first page to the last page. But there are no exceptions. This Beijing Times is the same as Beijing Evening News. There's nothing useful written in it. Something about an artist dying, something about a diplomatic visit, and many other articles are repeated from Beijing Evening News. The wording is different, but the content is the same.
Nothing was gained.
Dong Xuebing's heart sank. He knew his FORWARD this time is a waste. There's no news about earthquakes or other natural disasters. Dong Xuebing can't use these to get promoted to Deputy Chief.
There's only one newspaper left.
There's only People's Daily left.
Generally speaking, this was a very large newspaper, but it was also a very small newspaper. It was large because the distribution unit was large. As the largest newspaper in China, People's Daily was the most authoritative and influential national newspaper in China. Basically, all government agencies and units would have a certain degree of customization. The content of the newspaper tended to be political news, and sometimes, it would even reflect the trend of policies to a certain extent. This kind of newspaper was naturally very large and was also a relatively important print media with a great influence. But it's reasonable to say it's small. Because People's Daily is only custom-made by the government agencies. As for other aspects … … it's distributed, but the circulation is very small. It's not sold in normal newsstands. Even if it's available, it's only a few copies. Furthermore, every issue of People's Daily only has one or two pages, and it's selling for 1 RMB. The content is too low, and most of the news doesn't have any content. Compared to Beijing Times, there's too little information. That's why, other than the government agencies, very few people will buy People's Daily. This is the reason why it's small.
It's the last copy.
It's time to see if it's a success or failure.
Dong Xuebing is worried and worried. After all, he had wasted so much time, and he doesn't want to get nothing from this gamble.
Whoosh!
Come on!
Dong Xuebing flipped to the front page!
One minute …
Five minutes …
Ten minutes …
At first, Dong Xuebing did not see anything interesting. Most of the news will not be helpful to his career. Even if there are some forward-looking news that will let him know about future developments, Dong Xuebing felt it will not be helpful to him if he wants to be promoted to Deputy Chief. Even if there are some useful news, it is useless to him now. What Dong Xuebing needs now is a Deputy Chief. Other than that, he has no other requests. When Dong Xuebing reached the last page, he was stunned.
The article is about an ancient tomb excavation, and Dong Xuebing will not pay attention to it. That's why he only skimmed through it. But when he was about to look away, he paused for a second. A few words at the end of the article had attracted his attention. Dong Xuebing quickly read the article from the beginning to the end.
Ancient Tomb Excavation.
More accurately, an ancient tomb was discovered, and an archaeological team immediately went over to excavate it. This article should be a little late. If the excavation had started now, then the ancient tomb should have been discovered earlier. Maybe it was not reported after the discovery and was afraid the tomb had been raided, or it was discovered wrongly. Or maybe it was reported in the news earlier, and People's Daily only repeated it. After all, Dong Xuebing is not living in the future, and he doesn't know the details.
Ancient tombs are discovered almost every year, and it's not strange.
The reason why Dong Xuebing is concerned about this place is because the article states that this is an ordinary County. But due to the discovery of the Ancient Tomb and its historical value, this County was given special approval by the higher-ups. This County was promoted from an ordinary County to a County-level City. This is because of the economy, population, and the development of the Ancient Tomb. If not, this County will never become a County-level City without its historical and cultural value!
Dong Xuebing confirmed the article again, and it's indeed a County-level City!
Dong Xuebing got excited when he read the article. County-level City! What is that? A normal County's Party Secretary and Mayor are at the County level, but a County-level City's Party Secretary and Mayor are at the Deputy Department level. Although it is not comparable to a Prefecture level City, it is still one rank higher than a County!
Deputy Department!
Isn't this what Dong Xuebing wants?
