Transfer Xie Huilan over?
This bro really wants to.
But it's just a thought.
Dong Xuebing knew Zhang Dongfang is doing this out of kindness. He is afraid Dong Xuebing's relationship with the City Government is not good. That's why Zhang Dongfang offered to help. Old Zhang had been working in the City Government for many years, and his connections are much better than Dong Xuebing. There is a rule in the City Government that if the husband is transferred to another position, the wife will follow. The City Government will consider the circumstances and make arrangements. This is not a problem as long as Dong Xuebing wants it. But Dong Xuebing's wife is different. Xie Huilan's rank is higher than Dong Xuebing. Even the Provincial Leaders cannot arrange this, let alone Zhang Dongfang, who is only a Mayor. Dong Xuebing can follow Xie Huilan to Xia City as her family member. But even if Dong Xuebing goes there, he will not get the official position of the County's Party Secretary. There are many factors involved. That's why it's not easy to arrange this. After all, Zhang Dongfang and Xie Huilan's rank are too high, and it's not what Zhang Dongfang expects.
It's no wonder Zhang Dongfang does not understand the situation.
Most of Dong Xuebing and Xie Huilan's information is confidential. After all, Xie Huilan's family is in Hong Kong, and Dong Xuebing had done many unspeakable things in the past. Zhang Dongfang does not know about Dong Xuebing's wife, and even Bao Hong City's government might not know about it. Even if they know about it, they might not link Dong Xuebing and Xie Huilan as a couple, as no one will think about it.
Zhang Dongfang still wants to ask why Dong Xuebing's wife can't be transferred. He thought Dong Xuebing does not want to owe him a favor.
But Dong Xuebing does not want to talk about this. "Then it's settled tonight. Let's have a good time."
Zhang Dongfang did not continue this topic. "Alright. It's …"
"What's wrong?" Dong Xuebing looks at Zhang Dongfang.
"We have to book a hotel in the city. We have to prepare a lot of cars as well. This time, if we call all of them along with their families, there will be more than a hundred people, right? There are a lot of staff in the Investment Promotion Agency, and this amount … "Zhang Dongfang had come over because of this, and he felt it is not appropriate." We can afford it, and we still have some funds. The initial funds from the investments had arrived, and we will receive a lot of tax revenue in the future. But the Central Government had been cracking down on eating and drinking on public funds. It's normal to hold a celebration banquet, but if it is too extravagant, some people might gossip about us. What if … " Dong Xuebing had strained the relationship between Jiaolin County, the City, and the Provincial Government. Jiaolin County is also in the limelight this time, and Zhang Dongfang wants to keep a low profile. They should just stay in the County and eat some simple food. They don't want to go out of their way to commit crimes.
Dong Xuebing replied. "I had also considered this. Haha … I had given my bank card to Xiao Su earlier, and I will pay for all the expenses. I am treating everyone to a private meal, and it's not a problem."
"You are treating?" Zhang Dongfang asked. "It's fine, but we can't do that."
Dong Xuebing replied. "It's fine. This time, we must have a good meal. I can still afford to treat you. Don't stand on ceremony with me."
Zhang Dongfang tried to persuade Dong Xuebing, but Dong Xuebing is not listening. In the end, he agreed.
… …
Evening.
Baohong City.
The government agencies had closed, and buses were parked outside the city's most luxurious hotel, Long De Hotel. The bus doors opened, and people from Jiaolin County alighted.
"Ah …"
"Long De Hotel?"
"Are you really coming here to eat?"
"I heard this place is famous, but I have never been there."
"Our County had invested a lot this time, and this celebration banquet will be a big one."
Zhang Dongfang, Wei Zhixuan, Meng Hanmei, Huo Yibang, and the other county leaders were all here. Many other related cadres also alighted from their cars with their families. Everyone had smiles on their faces. Firstly, they were happy about the results of the investment, and secondly, they were looking forward to the celebration banquet. Longde Hotel was the largest star-rated hotel in the city. Even some of the leaders from Jiaolin County rarely dined here. The dishes were extraordinarily expensive, not to mention that they had booked the largest banquet hall. With so many people and the car rental, the expenses were estimated to be at least 100,000 to 200,000 yuan.
"Let's go in." Dong Xuebing said.
Zhang Dongfang asked. "Eh, Xuebing, where is your wife?"
Dong Xuebing laughed. "She had just landed and will be here soon. Let's not wait for her and eat first."
Meng Hanmei held her husband's hand and said to Dong Xuebing. "How can we do that? Let's wait for her." She is Dong Xuebing's wife, and no one dares to offend her.
"No need. She doesn't know what time it is. Let's go." Dong Xuebing led his men into the banquet hall under the waiter's lead.
There were more than a dozen tables densely packed on the floor, and there was a beautifully decorated rostrum. It was like a small concert venue, very beautiful.
More than a hundred people came in one after another. All of them looked left and right, feeling amazed.
Almost everyone had arrived, and they took their seats according to their rank and position.
"Secretary Dong, can you say something?"
"That's right. Can you say something to us? Haha."
A few leaders cheered for Dong Xuebing. With Dong Xuebing's family present, the atmosphere is more relaxed.
Dong Xuebing had no choice but to walk up to the rostrum and pick up the microphone. "Then I will say something." He paused for a while and continued. "That's all."
Everyone looked at each other in dismay. Then, they reacted and burst into laughter.
If you say one, then I'll say two.
I will say one sentence.
It's just two sentences.
Everyone got to know the County's Party Secretary's sense of humor again. It's just like Dong Xuebing performing magic during the banquet. Everyone felt this County's Party Secretary is very friendly.
Dong Xuebing walked down the stage.
Zhang Dongfang went up to the stage. "I also want to say something. No. Not two sentences. I want to say a few sentences. Haha." Zhang Dongfang stood on the stage and laughed. "Secretary Dong's speech earlier is very good."
It's only two sentences. What's so good about it?!
Everyone knew that it was rare for Zhang Dongfang to make a joke, so they were all amused.
Dong Xuebing also laughed and points to Zhang Dongfang. This Old Zhang is making fun of me.
Zhang Dongfang continued. "I just want to say that all of you might not know. Today's chartered buses and banquet hall are all paid by Secretary Dong. This is because Secretary Dong wants to hold a celebratory banquet for all of you. Hahaha. That's why I suggest we thank Secretary Xuebing first."
"Ah?"
"Secretary Dong paid for this?"
"Ah … How much does this cost?"
"Thank you, Secretary Dong!"
"Thank you, Leader! Thank you, Secretary Dong! "
Everyone heard Dong Xuebing's words and started clapping.
Dong Xuebing waved his hand and laughed. "This is what you all deserve. All of you had worked hard for the past month. That's why I had discussed with Mayor Zhang and decided to hold a big celebration banquet. Although I am sponsoring this banquet, it is also a token of appreciation from the County's Party Committee. So, don't worry. This banquet is not from public funds. You all can eat and drink as much as you want."
Chang Lin laughed. "That's right. You don't need to save for Secretary Dong."
"Oh!" Everyone roared with laughter.
Dong Xuebing pretended to wipe his sweat. "Err … err … I must save as much as I can. If not, my wife will be coming over later, and I will not be able to answer to her at night."
"Hahaha!"
Everyone laughed again. They felt Dong Xuebing is too funny.
But jokes aside, everyone can tell from the scale of this banquet that Dong Xuebing is not short of money. How can he pay for such a big banquet with his own money? He did not even bat an eyelid when he spent 100,000 to 200,000 RMB? Also, Dong Xuebing had used his own money to book all the remaining rooms in the County's high-class hotels. Dong Xuebing heard that he spent about 500,000 RMB. How rich is Dong Xuebing?!
