The next day.
Around 7 am.
Ring, ring, ring … Dong Xuebing's phone rang.
Dong Xuebing was still sleeping on the second floor. He had returned late last night and was sleepy. He answered the phone listlessly.
"Hello, who is this?" Dong Xuebing asked with his eyes closed.
"Secretary, I'm Meng Hanmei!" Sister Meng, the County's Party Committee Office Director, shouted anxiously. "Have you seen the morning news? Something happened! "
"News? I am still sleeping. "Dong Xuebing replied calmly.
Meng Hanmei immediately said. "Take a look at the news. There is an uproar on the internet."
Dong Xuebing reached for the remote control on the bedside table and switched on the TV. "What channel is it?"
"It's the Provincial TV station." Meng Hanmei replied uneasily, "It's about the luxurious construction of our Baohong City's County Party Committee Compound and Family Quarters. This incident happened too suddenly, and we did not receive any news about it. From what I know, even the City Government did not receive any news about it. Initially, all the major websites on the internet reposted a post with pictures of our County Party Committee Compound, especially our Jiaolin County's new County Party Committee Compound. It was all exposed. Initially, it was nothing, but now, too many people have seen it, and it has caused a lot of discussion. We just woke up this morning, and there are already more than a hundred thousand posts and comments. They are all scolding us. Now, even the Provincial Government's morning news has reported about it. I wonder what the Provincial Government's attitude is."
Dong Xuebing nodded. "Ok."
Meng Hanmei quickly said. "Secretary, please come over to the County's Party Committee. Mayor Zhang and the rest should be arriving soon, and I am on my way there. This incident …"
Dong Xuebing nodded. "Ok. I understand."
Meng Hanmei was puzzled. Why is Dong Xuebing so calm? "Secretary!"
"You all can discuss first. I will go over after breakfast. That's all." Dong Xuebing hung up and yawned.
Meng Hanmei almost fainted. What does this mean? Still want breakfast? You still have the mood to eat breakfast at this time? If it's only the online discussions, it's fine. But now, even the Provincial TV station is broadcasting it. This is a warning to the people in Jiaolin County. No one wants to see this, and if the Provincial Government gets angry, they will be held responsible. But Meng Hanmei heard Secretary Dong's calm voice, and she doesn't know what to say. Secretary Dong is the head of Jiaolin County, and the construction of the new County Party Committee Compound is led by the County Party Committee. Secretary Dong is the one in charge of this, and he should be the most anxious one!
So calm?
What does this mean?
Meng Hanmei does not know Dong Xuebing already knew about this incident. This incident happened about two hours ago, and from Dong Xuebing's voice, he should still be sleeping. Even Meng Hanmei only knew about this incident after watching the morning news. How did Dong Xuebing know about this incident so early? That's why Meng Hanmei did not know Dong Xuebing has the ability to predict the future.
Dong Xuebing woke up and went to prepare breakfast. Of course, it's not so complicated if he is alone, and he can cook two eggs.
After the eggs are cooked, Dong Xuebing's phone rang.
It's Fang Wenping's number.
Dong Xuebing answered. "Hello, Mayor Fang … Governor Fang?"
Fang Wenping asked. "Is the new County Party Committee Compound being built by the County's Party Committee?"
"Yes." Dong Xuebing replied. "It's decided by Secretary Li Guian, and I am taking over now."
Fang Wenping continued. "You should know about this incident. Then you better be prepared to take responsibility. The Provincial Government might have to take measures against you! "
Beep … beep … beep …
The line was cut.
Dong Xuebing was not angered by Fang Wenping's tone. He smiled. He knows Fang Wenping's temper and knows this is the way she talks. She does not care about anyone. Dong Xuebing could tell Fang Wenping was not trying to poke fun at him. She is using this method to remind him. Although Dong Xuebing knew what was going to happen, he is still thankful for her call. He did not expect Fang Wenping to inform him about this incident. This means Old Fang still cares about him. Maybe Fang Wenping's call is a little late, and she thinks it's too late. After all, this incident happened in the morning, and no one expects the Provincial Government to intervene. But Dong Xuebing doesn't feel it's too late. He had settled everything, and that's why he can be so relaxed and smile.
The eggs are cooked.
Dong Xuebing ate slowly and looked at his watch. It's already 8 pm, but he is not in a hurry. He is eating slowly.
Dong Xuebing's phone rang again.
It rang twice. Many people were looking for him.
The first call was from Meng Hanmei, and the second was from Zhang Dongfang. Dong Xuebing answered the call and hung up.
The third call was from Su Yan.
Dong Xuebing told him a little more because he had something to do.
"Secretary, something happened in the County. What do you think … …" Su Yan asked.
Dong Xuebing did not mention it. He stuffed the last piece of egg yolk into his mouth and swallowed it. "Xiao Su, is there any place to rent in our County?"
Su Yan was stunned. "Rent? You want to rent a place? "
"Yes. I want to rent a place with a bigger area." Dong Xuebing replied.
Su Yan asked, "What about the environment? Do you have any requirements? "
Dong Xuebing thought for a while. "My requirements? The cheaper the better."
Su Yan said, "That is near the new County Party Committee Compound. The houses there are cheaper because the new County Party Committee Compound will be moved there. There are many new houses around. The cheapest place would be some terraced houses, like those small houses in the village health center. They are not expensive, and some of them can be rented for 100 RMB for 1 to 2 months."
Dong Xuebing asked, "How many terraced houses are there?"
"Oh, that's a lot." Su Yan said, "There should be at least a few dozen. But the purpose of that area is not clear. It seems that it has not been rented out yet. If you want a slightly better place, there are office buildings and some newly developed residential areas. It depends on what you want to do. Although the office buildings are more expensive, according to our County's situation, it is not that expensive."
Dong Xuebing nodded. "No need. Just the terraced houses. A few dozen? Then I will give you a task. You don't need to do anything else. Go and talk to the person in charge. Use the name of our County Party Committee to rent all the terraced houses for me. "
Su Yan asked, "Use the name of the County Party Committee?"
"Yes. Just do as I say." Dong Xuebing said.
Su Yan does not understand. "Why does the County want to rent these terraced houses?" After saying this, he felt it was inappropriate. This is the leader's decision, and the secretary should not question it.
Luckily, Dong Xuebing is not a rigid leader and did not get angry. "I have my reasons. You just go and settle it. Remember, the faster, the better. It's best to settle it in the morning. Don't ask about anything else. You will know what it is after a few hours. Haha."
Su Yan immediately said, "Ok!"
Dong Xuebing said, "Then go and do your work."
"What about the County? You are … …" Su Yan asked.
"Don't worry about that. If someone calls me, you don't need to answer. Just handle it yourself." Dong Xuebing said.
Su Yan really doesn't understand what Secretary Dong is doing. He knew about what happened in the County. Mayor Zhang and all the County's Party Committee members rushed to their units to discuss countermeasures. Why is Secretary Dong not worried at all? Also, he didn't even bother to ask about the situation. Also, booking this terrace house? Those kinds of houses were cheap, but they were also very bad. They were almost not soundproof. The houses were next to each other, and some were even made of plastic foam. What was the use of renting these shabby houses? Su Yan didn't understand, but he could only carry it out. After all, it was an order from the County Party Secretary. Although he was puzzled, he still had to complete it.
The call ended.
Dinner was also finished.
Dong Xuebing washed the dishes and changed his clothes. He was not satisfied and changed again. After that, he took his bag and went upstairs to his driver, Xiao Wang.
On the road.
Dong Xuebing called the County's City Management Bureau Chief, Huo Yibang. "Hello, Chief Huo? What's the situation over there?"
Huo Yibang panted. "It's … done. It's done."
Dong Xuebing asked. "Are you alright? Why is your voice so loud? "
Huo Yibang sighed. "I saw we are short-handed in the middle of the night, and I was worried. So, I went up personally. After working the whole night, it's almost done. There are not many people here, and they had done a good job. No one had found out about this. We had followed your instructions."
Dong Xuebing sincerely said. "Thank you for your hard work."
"Don't mention it. We will do what you asked us to do … … Eh, tear down the walls over there. What's the use of keeping these? Hurry up and move them away!" Huo Yibang said and shouted to his men. There were still some clanking sounds coming from the other side. It should be some finishing touches. Dong Xuebing had given them too little time. It was only one night, and this work should be quite heavy.
Dong Xuebing said. "After this is over, I will give everyone a reward for their hard work!"
