A few days later.
The news spread like wildfire.
The news that Dong Xuebing, the troublemaker from the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, will be demoted to a small County in the western region had spread to the rest of the Supervision Offices. Dong Xuebing had beaten up Yang Zhen, Deputy Director Yang, and argued with Fang Wenping in public. Although Dong Xuebing had only been in the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection for less than half a year, everyone had heard of his name. They knew he had a powerful background and was very rich. Other than him, he could drive a Range Rover to work every day. But this person, who had just been promoted to the Division Chief of the 9th Section, was demoted to another County. Of course, many people had heard rumors that Dong Xuebing was the one who requested for this transfer. But many people did not believe it. No one would be stupid enough to be demoted to the grassroots level. That's why many people guessed that Dong Xuebing had offended some higher-ups or something else. That's why he was demoted.
Suddenly, the attitude of the people in the unit changed.
For example, when Dong Xuebing arrived at work today, many people who used to greet him did not look at him warmly. Some of the leaders from other departments even avoided him and pretended not to see him. Everyone did not know who Dong Xuebing had offended, and it was better to avoid contact with him. Anyway, Dong Xuebing will be leaving soon, and they still have to work in the unit. They want to avoid arousing suspicion as no one knows what had happened.
Only one person behaved like this.
Two people behaved like this.
After that, more people started to spread.
The more people tried to stay away from Dong Xuebing, the more people thought Dong Xuebing had offended someone. Dong Xuebing could sense it.
It's not that Dong Xuebing doesn't hold a grudge. It's because he had no choice. When Dong Xuebing entered the Government Service, he had encountered many similar situations. Hmmm … More than half of the time, Dong Xuebing had to deal with people avoiding him and being hostile to him. He is used to not being treated nicely, and this had trained his mental fortitude. No matter what others think, Dong Xuebing will go to work with a smile on his face. He had experienced too much, and this little bit of negativity will not affect him. He is Dong Xuebing, and he doesn't care what others think!
You all are hiding from me now?
It's fine. You all will know why I want to go to Jiaolin County in the future!
… …
Section 2.
Office area.
Compared to others, Dong Xuebing's subordinates did not try to hide from him. Everyone knew Director Dong had requested for this transfer and had used his connections to get it. He had not offended anyone.
Many higher-ups and leaders from the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection also knew this. Although they could not say anything because of their status, they knew what Dong Xuebing had done. Offended someone? Dong Xuebing had offended someone from the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and was exiled? For example, Zhu Weiye, the Eighth Section Chief, and many other leaders almost burst out laughing when they heard the rumors. This is a joke! Who is Dong Xuebing? His Fourth Grandfather is the Secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. How can Dong Xuebing offend a leader here? Even if Dong Xuebing wants to offend him, the few Commission for Discipline Inspection leaders will not dare to offend him unless they have no other choice. All of them know the relationship is not as close as family. That's why they know the rumors from their subordinates are nonsense.
"Director Dong."
"Director Dong."
"Good morning."
Zhang Lili, Han Fei, and the rest greeted Dong Xuebing.
"Good morning." Dong Xuebing nodded and asked. "Is everyone free tonight?"
Luo Haiting replied. "Of course. You?"
Zhang Lili, Han Fei, and the rest nodded.
Dong Xuebing said. "Alright. All of you can leave with me after work. Even if there is a dinner, you must cancel it. I will treat all of you to dinner."
Han Fei blurted out, "Farewell dinner?"
Dong Xuebing laughed. "It's just a meal. What's there to dismiss?"
Han Fei stuck out her tongue. "Let us treat you."
Dong Xuebing replied. "No need. Let's go to my Siheyuan. It is spacious, and I had set up a barbecue grill. We will not eat in a restaurant and can have a barbecue at home. Oh, are there any Hui people here? What do you eat? You don't eat mutton? "
Luo Haiting laughed. "I eat everything."
Zhang Lili added. "Me too. I don't eat anything."
"Alright. Let's go together after work." Dong Xuebing looked at his watch. It's time to work, and he said. "Alright. Let's get back to work."
Although Dong Xuebing did not say it was a farewell dinner, everyone knew that this should be their last meal together. His transfer should be announced soon. All of them had different thoughts. After all, they do not want Dong Xuebing to leave. They had finally met such a kind leader, and no one wants to let someone they don't know take over their 2nd Bureau. But when it comes to getting married, they have no choice but to wish Dong Xuebing the best. Although none of them felt Dong Xuebing's transfer is a good thing.
Dong Xuebing continued with his work.
Luo Haiting and the rest carried on with their work.
At about 4 pm, Fang Wenping called Dong Xuebing to her office again. She seems to have something to discuss with Dong Xuebing.
Dong Xuebing knocked on the door and entered.
"Close the door." Fang Wenping said without lifting her head.
Dong Xuebing does not mind Fang Wenping's words. He closed the door and sat in front of her. "Are you looking for Chief Fang?"
Fang Wenping still did not lift her head. She was writing something on a document and asked. "Are you ready to go to the grassroots level?"
Dong Xuebing replied. "I will listen to my leader's arrangements."
Fang Wenping asked. "I am asking you. Are you ready?"
"Huh?" Dong Xuebing looked at her. "I am ready."
Fang Wenping looked up at him and said, "Then I have to tell you something that you don't know. Although I helped you arrange this transfer and vacated the position of Jiaolin County's Secretary, I didn't tell my people or my family who was going to take that position. Naturally, this kind of thing couldn't be kept a secret. My family also knows that I arranged this transfer for you. They talked to me once, but they didn't understand and were very angry. Fortunately, you were transferred quickly, and it was quickly settled. Otherwise, my family would definitely hold you back. You should know this. The grudge between our two families isn't just a year or two. It's a conflict between two generations, and it's very difficult to reconcile. This time, I also withstood the pressure to transfer you over."
Dong Xuebing replied sincerely. "I know you are under a lot of pressure. After all … thank you."
"I am under a lot of pressure, but it doesn't matter. My family knows my character, and I don't care what my family thinks of me." Fang Wenping put down the documents in her hands and looked at Dong Xuebing. "I called you over to tell you that if you are transferred to Jiaolin County, you will face pressure from the City and even the Provincial Government. My family's control in Northern Shaanxi is deeper than you think. I admire your courage, and you should know what you will be facing."
Dong Xuebing shrugged his shoulders. "I'm fine with it."
Fang Wenping continued. "It's not too late for you to change your mind. Have you thought it through?"
"Yes. No matter what the situation is, I must go there." Dong Xuebing replied firmly.
Pressure?
Make things difficult for him?
Suppress him?
Dong Xuebing is very familiar with these things as he had always been like this during his work. He knew this trip will not be smooth sailing, but Dong Xuebing's temper makes him more excited for no reason. Dong Xuebing is an aggressive person and will find trouble whenever he has nothing to do. Subconsciously, he likes to take on all kinds of challenges. Maybe this is the only way Dong Xuebing can feel the value of his existence and not be afraid of him. Besides, there was a vice-department-level opportunity waiting for him there. Unless he was a fool, why wouldn't he go? Even if it's a mountain of daggers, a sea of fire, or a rain of bullets, Dong Xuebing will still give it a try.
Fang Wenping nodded. "Alright. I know what to do."
"Ok. Let me treat you to dinner tonight, Director Fang." Dong Xuebing asked. "Let's have barbecued meat at my place. My colleagues will be there too."
"I'm not free. Close the door when you go out." Fang Wenping continued with her documents.
Dong Xuebing laughed and returned to his office to work.
Half an hour …
One hour …
Two hours …
When it's almost time to knock off, Dong Xuebing had passed his documents to Han Fei and was about to call everyone to his place when Dong Xuebing's transfer order arrived.
Dong Xuebing is appointed as the Party Secretary of Shanbei Province's Jiaolin County.
Dong Xuebing will be reporting to Shanbei Province in ten days. Hmmm … it's not too rushed, and he can still stay here until Lunar New Year.
