The next day.
Jiaolin County.
The temporary County Party Committee Compound.
Dong Xuebing arrived at work at around 10 am. These few days, he had been busy with getting investors. Now, he can finally relax. Dong Xuebing doesn't mind being late. He had not rested for the past month, and he needs some time to rest. The rest of the people in the compound were not surprised to see Dong Xuebing arriving late. Many of them knew Dong Xuebing's wife had flown over and might be leaving in a few days. It's rare for them to meet, and they should be spending time together. What's wrong with Dong Xuebing being one or two hours late? They can even rest today.
"Secretary."
"Good morning."
"Good morning, Secretary Dong."
A few cadres and staff members who passed by him greeted him.
Dong Xuebing nodded and asked a staff from the County Party Committee Office. "Is Xiao Su here? Ask him to go to my office. "
"Secretary Su is here. He is in the County Party Committee Office. I will call him over." That young man immediately went to look for Su Yan.
The secretary's office should be outside or near the leader's office. But this was a temporary rented terrace house. Obviously, there was no such condition. Su Yan was the Deputy Chief of the County Party Committee Office, and when he came over, he had to work in the County Party Committee Office.
Dong Xuebing returned to his office.
Behind him, many people were chatting in the compound.
"Eh, Old Yu, have you heard about it?"
"What's wrong? What did you hear? "
"Don't you know about Secretary Dong's wife?"
"I don't know. I am not qualified to attend the celebration yesterday, and my department did not participate in the investment fair. We are not on the same side."
"Heh … You will be regretful."
"Old Zhou, stop teasing me. Tell me."
"Last night during dinner, Secretary Dong's wife came. She is so beautiful. I swear I have never seen such a beautiful person in my life. Hahaha, you were not there. Many of us were stunned by her beauty. Sigh … She is so beautiful."
"Are you serious?"
"Why would I lie to you?"
"Do you have any photos? Let me see. "
"Come on, I don't have the guts to take photos."
A few people overheard them and came over to discuss this topic. Section Chief Wang's wife was about to give birth again, Chief Li's daughter got divorced, Chief Zhang's wife had Vitiligo, Mayor Liu's mother was cheated of 10,000 RMB. Basically, there was nothing that could be kept a secret in the government. Everyone was very concerned about this and liked to discuss it secretly. Of course, the news of Dong Xuebing's wife's stunning performance last night had spread like wildfire. Dong Xuebing was the top leader of the government, and he had attracted a lot of attention compared to other government officials. Before Dong Xuebing arrived at work in the morning, everyone was talking about him.
…
Office.
Su Yan knocked on the door and entered. "Secretary."
"Oh, you changed your hairstyle today?" Dong Xuebing laughed and looked at him.
Su Yan touched his hair and said embarrassedly, "I got a haircut last night. I didn't expect it to be like this, but you cut it short. It's now a crew cut."
Dong Xuebing laughed. "Not bad."
"Oh, you are looking for me?" Su Yan asked.
"Yes. Today, there might be some people from other provinces coming to our County for an exchange. Get the Investment Promotion Agency to get ready." Dong Xuebing replied.
Su Yan replied. "I had just received the notice that Xia Xin City's Party Committee Secretary had led a team to our City. You were not here earlier, and I was about to report to you. The City had contacted our County's Party Committee Office and asked us to be in charge of welcoming them and cooperate with Xia Xin City's Party Committee Secretary." From this, Zhang Dongfang could see the stiff relationship between the City Government and County Government. Usually, if there were any urgent matters, the relevant leaders or people in charge would make a few phone calls to inform the County Head or Deputy Head. It was more convenient to communicate over the phone. But now, even Dong Xuebing, the County's Party Secretary, had to call the County Government's office to get information about the higher-ups' tasks and matters.
The City's actions were clear.
But Dong Xuebing doesn't care. The City can do whatever they want, and I don't care.
Dong Xuebing nodded and asked. "Did they say what time it is?"
"They said they will be arriving at 11 am." Su Yan looked at his watch. "There is one hour left."
Dong Xuebing replied. "Hurry up and prepare the hotel and lunch. Don't make it too extravagant, but don't make it too shabby."
Su Yan thought for a while. "Ok."
After giving the instructions, Dong Xuebing asked Su Yan to make the arrangements. He did not say anything else. For example, Xie Huilan's matter will be known when she arrives. He doesn't need to explain anything to his subordinates. It's not a big deal if they don't know about it.
Half an hour …
One hour …
Slightly past 11 am.
Suddenly, there was the sound of a car outside.
After a while, Su Yan entered. "Secretary, the car is here."
"Ok. Have you informed Mayor Zhang?" Dong Xuebing stood up.
Su Yan nodded. "Yes."
Dong Xuebing left with his secretary and bumped into Deputy Party Secretary Wei Zhixuan. They nodded and walked towards the courtyard's entrance. This welcome ceremony did not have any banners as it is just an ordinary business meeting. Furthermore, Xia City is not their superior. But there are no banners. The other party is the City's Party Secretary and might even be accompanied by the City's leaders. That's why Dong Xuebing, Zhang Dongfang, and Wei Zhixuan must welcome them personally.
Everyone is present.
Everyone is standing in the courtyard.
A few cars from Baohong City also stopped.
A young man alighted and immediately opens the door.
Zhang Dongfang did not pay much attention to it. His expression was very calm, or perhaps he was a little absent-minded. After all, they had been busy for more than a month. People would always be tired and distracted. No one could stand it. Yesterday, they drank a lot of celebratory wine, so today, everyone was in a normal state of mind.
But when the people alighted from the cars, many of them were stunned!
The first person to alight is a woman. It's Madam Dong from yesterday's banquet!
"Ah?"
"Eh?"
"Madam Dong?"
"Huh? Isn't this Madam Dong?"
"Why is Madam Dong here in a City car?"
Everyone looked at Dong Xuebing and could not understand what is going on.
There were many people who did not go to the celebration banquet yesterday. When they heard this, they found out that this was the Secretary Dong's wife that everyone was talking about in the morning. All of them were stunned. She was really beautiful. No wonder everyone had such an expression when they were talking about her.
Dong Xuebing saw Zhang Dongfang's expression and knew Old Zhang had not heard anything from the City Government. Old Zhang had a good relationship with the City Government in the past, and after Dong Xuebing arrived, he had caused so much trouble. Zhang Dongfang and the City Government are in an awkward situation. If not, there will be three to four City Government leaders in the VIP room yesterday, and Zhang Dongfang will know about it. Zhang Dongfang had stood on Dong Xuebing's side during the incident with the foreign guests, and that's why the City's Party Secretary is unhappy with him. Dong Xuebing smiled in his heart. He had let Old Zhang down when he was appointed as the Chief Executive, and his grudge against Zhang Dongfang lessens. He no longer cares about the conflict between him and Zhang Dongfang when Dong Xuebing first arrived.
A few seconds later, everyone from Xiaxing City alighted from their cars.
The people in Jiaolin County finally understood that Secretary Dong's wife was not qualified to be picked up by the City Government. So there was only one reason why Mrs. Dong was here. Secretary Dong's wife was from Xiaxing City. By the way, didn't Mrs. Dong say that she was from Xiaxing City? She was said to be working in the south. So it was Xia Xing. No wonder she was here on a business trip!
Madam Dong is an Investment Promotion Agency staff?
Or is she from the City's Party Committee?
Everyone is guessing Madam Dong's position.
But when Xie Huilan walks up and smiles, everyone from Jiaolin County was stunned.
Xie Huilan introduced herself. "Hello, everyone. Sorry for disturbing you. I am Xiaxing City's Party Secretary, Xie Huilan." "Secretary Dong, we will need to trouble Jiaolin County to cooperate with us this time. You all had organized this Cultural Festival well, and if you have any experiences or ideas, you all can share them with us. Haha … we are preparing to visit your County these few days." Dong Xuebing nodded. "Thank you.
Dong Xuebing smiled and shook Xie Huilan's hand. "Of course. Welcome. Actually, our County does not have any good experience, and it is all thanks to you. We also want to make use of this opportunity to learn from you."
Public is public.
Private is private.
Since it was an official meeting, they naturally couldn't bring too many personal relationships into it. At the very least, it was impossible for them to call each other husband and wife.
After the two leaders met, Dong Xuebing went to shake hands with the rest of Xiaxing City's leaders.
Xiaxing City's leaders are very respectful, and everyone can see some of Dong Xuebing's City leaders are shaking hands with Dong Xuebing with both hands. When it comes to Zhang Dongfang, Xiaxing City's leaders shook hands with Dong Xuebing with one hand.
Su Yan was stunned!
Meng Hanmei and the rest of the people from Jiaolin County were speechless!
After a long time, they realized Dong Xuebing's wife is not one of the City's leaders. She is the City's Party Secretary! She is the leader of Xiaxing City's delegation to Baohong City!
Damn!
Is there such a young Party Secretary in China?
Everyone had the same thought when Dong Xuebing was appointed!
Dong Xuebing, and Xie Huilan. Who are these two people?
