The next day.
Morning. Home.
Although winter was over, and it was considered Spring, the temperature was still very cold.
The weather had been like this for the past two years. There was no longer any autumn or spring. Winter and summer were getting longer.
Dong Xuebing dismantled the second stove in the North house. He had tidied up the Siheyuan and handed over the keys to the family quarters. His luggage was also unpacked. Dong Xuebing nodded and carried all his belongings out of his house. He had brought back his Land Rover from the 4S shop yesterday and placed everything into the trunk. He returned to the courtyard to check if he had left anything behind and took a few more daily necessities. After all, he will be driving there and will not arrive in one day. He does not need to rush as there are still a few days before he starts his new job. That's why Dong Xuebing decided to drive slowly and prepare some daily necessities for emergencies.
Half an hour later.
Dong Xuebing had tidied up everything yesterday, and it was much easier today. He looked at his watch. It's 10 am.
Should I go?
Yes. Let's go!
It's fine to stay here!
Over the past few days, Dong Xuebing had contacted all the people he needed to contact, and there is no one else he needs to contact. He stretched his back and looked at his apartment. All the windows were closed, and the bolts were removed. After that, he returned to his car.
How many days has it been since he came back?
Goodbye, Beijing. Wait for me to come back again!
This was Dong Xuebing's home and the place where he grew up. Dong Xuebing was reluctant to leave. But this time, he had no choice. He had to leave this place because he could not stay at the same spot. Dong Xuebing had to grab hold of the opportunities in Shanbei. Dong Xuebing had the carefree attitude of the Beijing people. But there were different levels of carefreeness. To him, the higher his rank, the more carefree he would be.
After bidding farewell to his family, Dong Xuebing pretended to be emotional and drove out of the alley to the highway.
Ring … ring … ring …
The phone rang.
Dong Xuebing looked at the number and was surprised. It was Fang Wenping. Dong Xuebing only knew Fang Wenping was transferred to Shanbei yesterday. But because his relationship with Fang Wenping was complicated, he did not call her to congratulate her and pretended not to know. Anyway, Fang Wenping will be promoted to Deputy Governor, and Dong Xuebing will only be a small County Party Secretary. Even if they are in the same province, it is too big for them to meet. Dong Xuebing did not mind. But Fang Wenping called him first. After all, he did not contact her to congratulate her, and Dong Xuebing felt embarrassed. He cleared his throat and thought for a while. Should he answer the call? Pretend not to hear? But that wouldn't do. She had helped him, and he owed her a big favor. It wouldn't be appropriate if he didn't accept it.
A few seconds later.
Dong Xuebing answered. "Hello, Director Fang."
Fang Wenping said stiffly, "Where is it?"
"Huh? My house. I am preparing to take up my post." Dong Xuebing replied honestly.
"I am also going to Shanbei." Fang Wenping replied.
Dong Xuebing pretended not to know. "Ah? You are going to Shanbei? Why? Inspection? But our Ninth Bureau is not in Shanbei. You are … "
"Didn't you hear about it?" Fang Wenping asked.
Dong Xuebing acted well. "No. What's wrong?"
Fang Wenping replied. "I am also transferred to Shanbei as the Deputy Governor."
"Ah … are you serious?" Dong Xuebing quickly replied. "That's great. Haha … congratulations, Director Fang … no … I should call you Governor Fang now. You should have been promoted earlier. You had been in the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection for many years, and you will surely …"
Fang Wenping interrupted. "Don't use this on me."
Dong Xuebing still wanted to flatter Fang Wenping, but she interrupted him. "Huh?"
Fang Wenping continued. "I am calling you to ask you something. Are you going to Shanbei?"
Dong Xuebing knew Fang Wenping must have heard about it, and she can't deny it. "Yes. I had just boarded the car and am heading towards the highway. What's wrong?"
Fang Wenping replied. "I am leaving my post today, and I am tired of staying here. Come over to my house and give me a lift. We will go to Shanbei together."
Dong Xuebing asked. "Now?"
"You are not willing to go?" Fang Wenping lowered her voice.
"It's not that I am not willing. Then … alright. No problem." Dong Xuebing asked. "Where are you staying now? Where should I fetch you? "
"I will send you the address later." Fang Wenping replied.
"Ok." Dong Xuebing hangs up helplessly.
It's not that Dong Xuebing does not want to bring Fang Wenping along. It's because Dong Xuebing is not mentally prepared for this. He had wanted to leave now, and his plans had been disrupted. Sigh … never mind. He owes Fang Wenping a favor.
Beep … beep … beep …
Dong Xuebing received a text message.
Dong Xuebing looked at the address and drove over.
… …
This is a district in the north of Beijing.
It should be around the Chaoyang District.
Dong Xuebing knew this should be Fang Wenping's old home. He had only visited Fang Wenping's quarters in the past and had never been to this place. That's why he searched for a long time before he saw the building number. He alighted and walked up to the address. He pressed the doorbell.
Ding Dong.
The door opened.
Fang Wenping opened the door and did not even look at Dong Xuebing. She walked back and said. "Close the door and find a place to sit."
The apartment is a little messy.
It's a big and spacious apartment.
Dong Xuebing glanced around and saw Fang Wenping packing her luggage. She is stuffing some things into her suitcase. Dong Xuebing's eyes are very sharp. He can't see anything else, but he can see a few pieces of lingerie. Some are white, some are black, and one is purplish red. Dong Xuebing swallowed his saliva when he saw Fang Wenping had no intention to look at him. Fang Wenping did not turn around to look at him, so he continued to look at her.
"Why are you not taking the plane?" Dong Xuebing asked.
Fang Wenping packed her luggage and replied without turning back. "I am a little airsick, and I will not take the plane unless I have no other choice."
"Huh? What about the train?" Dong Xuebing asked.
Fang Wenping turned around. "You don't want to bring me along? Then go back and close the door. I won't send you off! "
Dong Xuebing replied. "That's not what I mean. I am just asking." Look at her. She is getting anxious.
Fang Wenping continued packing her luggage. "The train is too boring, and there are still no high-speed trains there. The speed is too slow, and I can't stand the environment."
Dong Xuebing understood why Fang Wenping was like this. His wife, Xie Huilan, was also like this. She was picky and lazy, and Dong Xuebing could not do anything to her. Fang Wenping had grown up in the same environment as Xie Huilan and had never experienced hardship. That's why they were so picky and picky about almost everything.
"When are we leaving?" Dong Xuebing asked.
"Can't you see that I'm packing up? I'm done." Fang Wenping had always been so blunt with her words. She continued stuffing things into her purse.
Dong Xuebing stared at her back view and did not say anything. He went out to the living room and poured himself a glass of water. He started gulping it down.
Ten minutes …
Half an hour …
One hour …
Dong Xuebing switched on the TV and almost fell asleep. Fang Wenping is still not done with her work. Women always have a lot of work to do. Dong Xuebing looked at his watch, and it's almost 12 am. He knew he can't leave in the afternoon. His stomach was growling, and he went to the kitchen to look for the leftovers in the fridge. He made a simple lunch for Fang Wenping, as he will not expect her to cook for him.
Lunch is ready.
Dong Xuebing walked out of the kitchen. "Director Fang, it's time for lunch."
Fang Wenping did not stand on ceremony with Dong Xuebing. She turned to look at Dong Xuebing and walked out of the kitchen. She picked up her chopsticks and started eating. She did not even ask Dong Xuebing, "Why did you prepare lunch?" She seems to be waiting for Dong Xuebing to prepare lunch and started eating.
Dong Xuebing's attitude towards Fang Wenping was good at first as he owed her a favor. But after a few times, Dong Xuebing was unhappy and ignored her. He continued eating and did not do the dishes. He just sat there and watched TV. This is Dong Xuebing's temper. If others treat him well, he will treat them well. But if others do not treat him well, then don't expect Dong Xuebing to treat them well. So what if I owe you a favor? This bro can't just throw away his dignity, right?
Bullshit!
At this time, Fang Wenping had finished packing up. "Done. Let's go."
Dong Xuebing looked over and saw Fang Wenping carrying a heavy suitcase in her hand. She had to use a lot of strength to carry the suitcase downstairs. Dong Xuebing snorted in his heart, but his heart softened. He looked at Fang Wenping and reached out to carry the heaviest suitcase. "Give it to me."
Fang Wenping replied. "No need."
"I asked you to give it to me, so just give it to me. You also can't carry it." Dong Xuebing snatched the suitcase from her and walked downstairs.
Fang Wenping did not say anything and closed her door. She took a lighter suitcase and walked downstairs. She saw Dong Xuebing opening the trunk and threw her suitcase inside. After that, she got into the front passenger seat and closed her eyes to rest.
Dong Xuebing glanced at Fang Wenping and thought to himself. You are so comfortable. He stepped on the accelerator and drove off.
