Dong Xuebing left Beijing at 5.30 am and drove back to Yan Tai County Public Security Bureau.
After a while, Geng Yuchao left, and Dong Xuebing heard the sound of the door closing.
"Mayor Xie, please don't make me tea. I can't sit still and will be back soon."
"Then let's have a cup of tea first, alright?"
Dong Xuebing's head hurts.
After a while, Geng Yuchao said. "Mayor Xie, the Investment Promotion Agency is a department under the County Government, and getting investors is the County Government's job. Secretary Xiang had ignored our County Government to get investors from a foreign company. This is too …"
Dong Xuebing knew Sister Xie is not as easy to fool as Aunt Xuan. He is also afraid Sister Xie will bring up the topic he doesn't want to think about. He quickly changed the topic. "Oh, I heard you talking to Mayor Geng about the foreign company's investment visit. Chief Liang had just given me an order to be in charge of the team's safety. Do you think there is something fishy going on? Did Xiang Daofa ask me to go there? "
Dong Xuebing frowned. He had saved Sister Xie's life and helped her out of trouble. Even if no one said anything, he should be on the Xie Family's side. This time, Liang Chengpeng asked him to be in charge of the Japanese team's safety. Could it be Xiang Daofa who asked him to do such a thankless job? She did not let the Xie Faction get any credit, and it is easy for them to make mistakes. Instead, she gave the credit to the Xie Faction. This is a slap to Sister Xie's face. Seems like the conflict between Sister Xie and Xiang Daofa is getting worse.
The moment Dong Xuebing entered the bedroom, he saw Xie Huilan, who was only wearing a black bra. She had unbuttoned her pants and was bending over to take it off. Her voluptuous butt was facing Dong Xuebing, and her red thermal long johns were showing off her buttocks. Xie Huilan heard Dong Xuebing's voice and turned to look at the door. "… when did you arrive?"
"Yes. You can speak to Chief Meng from the Investment Promotion Agency for the details."
"That's about it. That's why I told you not to be anxious. You need one more year to build your foundation. Even if Secretary Xiang wants to suppress you, he will not be able to do so." Xie Huilan stretched her neck and closed her eyes. "Use a little more strength and move it a little to the right side. It hurts there. Thank you."
Dong Xuebing was stunned. "What do you mean?"
"How about these slippers?"
"Ah, then I'll do it myself."
"Ah … Sister Xie, stop keeping me in suspense. Hurry up and give me some pointers." Dong Xuebing had done many things in the past year and almost lost his life a few times. He had suffered many grievances, but he had persisted because he wants to be promoted. Now, when he heard Xiang Daofa is determined to suppress him, Dong Xuebing is furious.
The last time Dong Xuebing left the hospital, he noticed a set of keys in his bag. Sister Xie had given him the keys but kept them back. Dong Xuebing guessed that Sister Xie must have thrown the keys into his bag without him knowing. Dong Xuebing was overjoyed because this means their relationship had improved. Of course, Sister Xie might have given the keys to him to calm him down. Dong Xuebing could not guess what Xie Huilan was thinking.
Liang Chengpeng said. "I am worried about letting someone else handle this. You should do it. Don't let anything go wrong."
This task is not easy. Even if Dong Xuebing did it well, he will not get any benefits. But if he does not do it well, he will have to bear the consequences.
"Oh, Chief Dong."
Xie Huilan nodded. "I think he does not want you to be promoted."
After returning to his office, Dong Xuebing lit a cigarette.
Xie Huilan looked at Dong Xuebing. "What are you thinking?"
Ten minutes passed.
Dong Xuebing was speechless. He is not being optimistic. He is hoping something bad will happen to someone else. It might be a car accident, an accident, or a sudden illness. This way, Dong Xuebing will be able to replace him. Dong Xuebing must get the nomination for Section Chief's position as soon as possible. If not, Xiang Daofa might cause trouble for him, and he might get into an accident. Things might get out of hand.
Dong Xuebing understood what Xie Huilan said. Geng Yuchao is going to visit a Japanese company, and Xiang Daofa did not go through the County Government. The person in charge is also Xiang Daofa's trusted aide. This is too overbearing and does not give Xie Huilan and the County Government any chance to intervene. This is showing Xiang Daofa's authority and disrespecting Xie Huilan.
Wait for another year?
"You really want to know?"
A few minutes later, Xie Huilan walked out of her office in a sweater.
Monday.
It's difficult!
Dong Xuebing asked. "Chief Meng? I am Dong Xuebing from the Public Security Bureau. "
Dong Xuebing called Xie Huilan at the entrance of the compound. Her phone is switched off, and she should be in a meeting.
"Then I have to just wait and do nothing? Also, even if I get the nomination, Xiang Daofa will not approve it. " Sister Xie's votes in the Party Committee are not as high as Xiang Daofa, and Xiang Daofa has the final say when it comes to job transfers.
"I know. But … are there any vacancies recently?"
Dong Xuebing used his keys to open the door and went into the kitchen.
"Chief Dong, come to my office." It's Liang Chengpeng's voice.
Dong Xuebing quickly looks away. "Huh? It's 5 pm. Are the vegetables ready?"
Damn! Are you trying to pick a fight with me?!
Dong Xuebing immediately replied. "Yes." He stopped what he was doing and went upstairs.
Xie Huilan is very busy with work, and it's not convenient for them to meet. Since Dong Xuebing went to Lui An City to work as an undercover, he had only called Sister Xie a few times and had not met her. Dong Xuebing thought for a while and drove towards the County's Party Committee Quarters. He parked his car on another street and bought some groceries and cooked food before crossing the road and entering the quarters.
"It's fine. You don't need to change your shoes. Haha … Sorry to keep you waiting."
Section Chief positions might seem to be a lot, but there are not many in Yan Tai County. How many Bureau's leaders are there? Also, there were many positions that Dong Xuebing could not reach. For example, the Finance Bureau Chief, Public Security Deputy Bureau Chief, Inspection Bureau Chief. Dong Xuebing was still not qualified for these positions. Furthermore, the other departments, like the Cultural Affairs Bureau, Sports Bureau, Forestry Bureau, were all remote and had no future in their careers. Dong Xuebing would rather stay in the Public Security Bureau to gain more experience. That's why there were not many departments left. Also, he still had to wait for the top leaders to retire or get transferred to other departments. That's also … …
Dong Xuebing knew Chief Liang is going to assign him a task.
In the afternoon, Dong Xuebing finished his work and left the Public Security Bureau.
"No. I had just arrived a while ago."
"That's right. But they only informed us today after they contacted a foreign company and did not let the Deputy Mayor take charge. Instead, they let Chief Meng from the Investment Promotion Agency take charge. Party Secretary Xiang does not want to give any benefits to our County Government. You should know about Chief Meng's relationship with Party Secretary Xiang. Since this is for Yan Tai County's economic development, why don't you or the Deputy Mayor take charge? This is … "
Damn! Dong Xuebing cursed. "This is too much!"
Dong Xuebing immediately stands up and walks over to Xie Huilan's back. "Tell me, what should I do?"
"Ok." Xie Huilan closed her eyes. "As long as you don't make any big mistakes, I can help you get a nomination for a Section Chief position after you solved the case. I believe Party Secretary Xiang will not make things difficult for you. Of course, don't even think about being the Finance Bureau Chief, Public Security Executive Deputy Bureau Chief, or some other important department's Section Chief positions. You are not qualified for those positions now."
Xie Huilan laughed and looked at Dong Xuebing. "You are still thinking about the Section Chief position?"
Dong Xuebing was stunned for a second and put down the kitchen knife. He wiped his hands and tiptoed to the door. He looked out through the peephole and saw a familiar middle-aged man. He should be a leader, but Dong Xuebing could not remember who he is. Anyway, he must have met him at the County's County Government. After that, Dong Xuebing went back into the house and did not open the door for him. If not, he will not be able to explain why he was at Mayor Xie's house.
Dong Xuebing praised. "Sister Xie, you are so pretty today."
"Yes."
Xie Huilan smiled and looked at Dong Xuebing. She took off her trousers and placed them on the bed. She sat at the end of the bed and lifted her legs. She pulled down her long johns and said. "A woman is taking off her clothes. Don't you think you should step back?"
After massaging Xie Huilan's shoulders, Dong Xuebing massaged her neck. "Let's wait and see. I don't believe there will be no changes to the Section Chief positions in Yan Tai County in the next few months. What if someone falls sick and retires early? What if someone performs well and gets promoted?"
"I didn't expect you to be so optimistic. Haha … I hope so."
"Haha … Secretary Xiang is doing this for the County's development."
Dong Xuebing thought for a while and called Bureau Chief Meng.
This is Dong Xuebing's first day at work after solving the Museum Robbery Case, and he has many things to do. He contacted a few colleagues and reported to the higher-ups before returning to his office to settle his work. Dong Xuebing is only in charge of Hui Tian Village Station now, and most of his documents are from the station. It's almost the end of the year, and he needs to write many reports and summaries.
Yan Tai County's geographical location is not good. Investments are popular in other Counties, but it is slow in Yan Tai County. Few big companies are willing to invest in Yan Tai County, and this is the reason why Yan Tai County is so poor. Now, there is an investment team from a foreign company, and the investment must be significant. This is why County Party Secretary Xiang Daofa is concerned about this. This is related to the County's development. Liang Chengpeng had given Dong Xuebing this task. On the surface, Dong Xuebing is in charge of the foreign companies' visitors' safety. But in reality, Dong Xuebing is there to cover up any problems. He wants Dong Xuebing to show the best side of Yan Tai County to the foreign companies and hide the bad sides. This is to ensure the visits will go smoothly and the foreign companies will invest in Yan Tai County.
Dong Xuebing quickly went to the bathroom and closed the door.
"Hello? Who is this?" The voice on the other end is noisy.
"That's right. I will go out first." Dong Xuebing cleared his throat and closed the door behind him.
Click … Dong Xuebing heard keys rattling outside the door.
"Ah … why am I blushing?" Dong Xuebing replied. "I am thinking of you."
"Err … nothing. I saw you and Mayor Geng entering the room together, and I am afraid of misunderstandings. That's why I went into the bathroom. I had wanted to call you to tell you that I am coming over, but you might be in a meeting, and your phone is switched off." Dong Xuebing stood at the entrance and stole glances at Xie Huilan's butt from time to time. It's been a few days since they last met, and Dong Xuebing felt her butt had become more plump. Her butt is smooth and has a mature charm.
Bullshit! Dong Xuebing can't wait any longer.
It's already so difficult to wait for a nomination!
Dong Xuebing pressed on Xie Huilan's right side. "Sister Xie, let's not talk about whether the Party Committee will approve me first. We will talk about this when the time comes. Oh, I am waiting for the nomination now. Which Section Chief is retiring recently? Or who is going to be promoted? "
"Yes."
After an unknown period of time, the doorbell suddenly rang. Ding dong, ding dong.
Sister Xie's apartment.
Liang Chengpeng is in the Bureau Chief's office. He asked Dong Xuebing to sit down. "How are you feeling?"
There is no one in the room, and Xie Huilan is not around.
Xie Huilan smiled and put down her teacup. "You are a sweet talker."
After washing the vegetables, Dong Xuebing starts to prepare lunch.
"I had planned to come over this afternoon, but I had just received a call from the County Government, and I will be delayed by a day. If everything goes well, I should be arriving tomorrow."
"No."
Dong Xuebing paused for a second. "I did not do anything and only watched TV. Ok."
Mayor Geng? Dong Xuebing remembered who this person is. Geng Yuchao, Yan Tai County's Deputy Mayor. Other than the Executive Deputy Mayor, he is the only Deputy Mayor who is on the County's Party Committee. Geng Yuchao had some conflicts with the current Mayor, Xiang Daofa. After Xiang Daofa became the Party Committee's Party Secretary, Geng Yuchao should have a hard time.
"Haha … you can't say that."
Xie Huilan smiled and patted Dong Xuebing's shoulders. "I am tired, and my shoulders are sore."
"Glad to hear that." Liang Chengpeng nodded slightly. "Recently, the County's public security situation is not very good. Robberies and burglaries are happening frequently. There are also many other criminal cases. Do you know that a Japanese foreign company came to our County to inspect and invest? The specific investment has not been decided yet, but it's almost done. The County is very concerned about this matter, and Party Secretary Xiang is the one who contacted us personally. Party Secretary Xiang instructed us to leave a good impression on the foreign company's inspectors. We must ensure the investment environment and public security. "
Dong Xuebing replied. "Don't worry. I will complete this task."
"You had gotten First-class Merit twice, and if it were someone else, he or she would be promoted. But Party Secretary Xiang does not want you to be promoted, and your contributions cannot be erased. That's why he wants to assign you some tasks. This is to prevent you from getting any more credit, and if you make any mistakes, he will have a reason to stop you from getting promoted." Xie Huilan explained.
"Has the MNC's visitors arrived? The County had asked me to be in charge of their safety. "
To be safe, Dong Xuebing waited for a while until Xiang Daofa had left before entering the living room.
Dong Xuebing cursed in his heart. I had just gotten credit for Yan Tai County, and you, Xiang Daofa, are pushing me to do all the dirty work. Did I offend you? Dong Xuebing had always disliked Xiang Daofa, and not only because of Xie Huilan. A few months ago, Dong Xuebing found evidence that Xiang Daofa had ousted the County's Party Secretary, Chang Lei. Xiang Daofa had reaped the benefits, and in the end, he ignored Dong Xuebing's request to meet him. Now, he is doing this again!
"Really? Haha … "Xie Huilan sat down on the sofa and took a sip of tea." Are you back in Beijing this weekend? How was your trip? "
Xie Huilan laughed. "You look so energetic. You don't look like you are on TV."
Chief Meng is the person in charge of this visit. His full name is Meng Xianglin, and he is in his fifties. He is the Chief of Yan Tai County's Investment Promotion Agency. Dong Xuebing had only met the Agency's Deputy Chief, Lui Dafa, and did not know much about Meng Xianglin. But Dong Xuebing had been in Yan Tai County for some time now, and he knows Meng Xianglin is Xiang Daofa's right-hand man.
Dong Xuebing was smiling in his heart. But he had no intention of giving up. He had decided long ago that no matter what, no matter how difficult it was, he must fight for this Chief Section Chief position. When there's a will, there's a way!
"I went to the Party Committee after the meeting and didn't know you were there."
"Thank you for your concern. I am fine now."
Dong Xuebing was stunned. He looked at the door of the small room and walked over. "Sister Xie?"
At noon, Dong Xuebing's phone rang.
Xie Huilan replied without hesitation. "Haha … not yet."
"Of course. I still want to settle my promotion before Lunar New Year." Dong Xuebing asked. "Is there no hope now?"
The door opens. "Mayor Geng, come in." It's Xie Huilan.
Xie Huilan narrowed her eyes and looks at Dong Xuebing. "Why didn't you tell me you are here? Are you trying to scare me? Haha … "
