4.30 pm.
Before knocking off, Dong Xuebing took a taxi back to the Investment Promotion Agency.
Along the way, Dong Xuebing received calls from his friends and colleagues. Some are asking about this case, but most of them are concerned about their marriage. Hui Tian Village Station's Liu Dahai asked Dong Xuebing, "Is it true?" Su Jia, the host of the Beijing Xin Hua News Agency staff exchange, laughed and said, "Xuebing, you are so capable." Dong Xuebing can't hide it any longer and can only tell them the truth.
The taxi stopped, and Dong Xuebing alighted after paying the fare.
At this moment, a few staff from the Business Section, who had just returned from work, looked at Dong Xuebing in surprise.
"Chief."
"Chief Dong."
Obviously, everyone had heard about it.
Dong Xuebing nodded to them and went upstairs to his office. Before he could take out a cigarette, someone knocked on his door.
Dong Xuebing laughed. "I was about to ask you to come over."
Luo Haiting smiled. "Chief, I heard …"
"Don't need to hear." Dong Xuebing smiled. He had said this many times today. "It's true. What other questions do you have? Just ask. "Dong Xuebing saw Luo Haiting was taking a deep breath and said." If there are no more questions, it's my turn. Haha … after I left this morning, how is the investment fair's setup? What about the departments' coordination? Tell me about it. Oh, call Section Chief Lin, Section Chief Jiang, and the rest over. "
After a while, Luo Haiting went out to call the rest of the department leaders over.
Lin Pingping, Jiang Hailiang, and the rest were reporting to Dong Xuebing and trying to calm themselves down. They still don't know how to react to Chief Dong.
Mayor Xie's fiancé?
They still can't accept it!
Dong Xuebing's attitude had not changed at all. After understanding the progress of today's work, he reminded them to pay more attention to their work and asked them to knock off. After that, he packed his things and drove out of the Investment Promotion Agency. He is going home for dinner with Xie Huilan.
Ring … ring … ring … ring …
In the car, Luan Xiaoping's number finally popped up.
Dong Xuebing braked and stopped his car on the side road. He cleared his throat and answered the call carefully. "Hello, Mum."
"Damn child! Are you trying to scare me to death? " His mother's voice was a little hoarse as if she had just cried. "I thought you were going to be sentenced!"
Dong Xuebing laughed awkwardly. "What sentence? This has nothing to do with me. I am also upset about this. Mum, look at you. Why are you making a fuss over nothing? How old are you? Why are you still crying? I am fine, and I am not afraid of anything. Hahaha …"
There was a sniffling sound on the other end of the line, but there was no reply.
Dong Xuebing quickly replied. "Mum, sorry for making you worry. Where are you now?"
"In the village, at your grandmother's house."
"Don't be angry. How about I go over now and you beat me up?"
"You only know how to talk nonsense!"
Luan Xiaoping is the same as her son. Dong Xuebing is her everything. In the afternoon, when she heard that her son was arrested for involuntary manslaughter and even had fingerprints, she was scared out of her wits. But when she saw her son was released from the Public Security Bureau, she was relieved. "Xiao Bing, I want to ask you something."
"Yes. What is it?"
"I heard from everyone that you and Mayor Xie are dating?"
"Ahem, yes, that's true."
Luan Xiaoping paused for a few seconds before asking angrily. "Why didn't you tell me about this earlier? Why did you hide it from me? "
"No. It's because we are not even close."
Luan Xiaoping got even angrier. "What do you mean not close? Mayor Xie had said those things to testify for you, and both of you are sleeping together. You are even getting married, and I, as your mother, don't know you are getting married? Tell me, what is this? "
"Ah … Don't be anxious. I am in the wrong, alright?"
Luan Xiaoping paused for a second and asked. "Is it because the Mayor does not like us?"
Dong Xuebing quickly replied. "Don't think too much. How is it possible? It is because it is related to my work, and I had been keeping it a secret. Huilan is a nice, gentle, and filial person. She is not someone who will judge others by their looks, and it has nothing to do with our family background." Dong Xuebing had to put in a good word for Xie Huilan. "Let me tell you. Huilan is a nice person, and you will surely like her."
"Alright. Bring her back for me to meet."
"Ah?" Dong Xuebing is stunned. "Err … is it too early? No, it is not early. I am saying she is busy with work, and I am afraid … "
"I don't care. You must bring her back to the village tonight, and we will have dinner together."
"Tsk … she cannot run away. Why are you so anxious?"
"How can I not be anxious? You are already so old, and you still have not brought a girlfriend home. How can I not be anxious? Anyway, I must meet your girlfriend today, and your First and Second Aunties are preparing lunch. You all can come over for dinner. Can I hang up now? " First, Luan Xiaoping is worried about her son's marriage. Secondly, she also felt it is not possible for her son to win Mayor Xie's heart. Even Dong Xuebing's mother felt Dong Xuebing is not as good as Xie Huilan, and Luan Xiaoping doesn't want to rejoice for nothing.
Dong Xuebing's mother had already said this, and what else can he say?
"Alright. I … I will ask her."
"Ok. I will wait for you all."
After hanging up, Dong Xuebing's head hurts. It's not that he does not want to bring Sister Xie home to meet his relatives, but he had never brought his girlfriend home before. Never mind. I will bring her along, and it's time to make my mother happy. Dong Xuebing stepped on the accelerator and drove towards the County Party Committee Compound. He also called Xie Huilan.
… …
5 pm.
Under the County Government Office Building.
When Dong Xuebing's car arrived, a few people in the County Government Office Building saw him and started whispering to each other. At the same time, two people are looking at the County Government Office Building's entrance. It's after work, and Deputy Mayor Cheng Keliang is walking out of the building. He is wearing a thin jacket and is expressionless. But everyone in the County Government Office Building knows he is in a bad mood.
Everyone is curious about Chief Dong and Mayor Xie's relationship, and only Cheng Keliang is not interested.
He had been wooing Xie Huilan for the past two months!
Mayor Xie and Chief Dong are dating?! After this incident, Cheng Keliang is the most upset. This is not only a blow to his relationship, but he is also embarrassed!
Cheng Keliang did not see Dong Xuebing and left the building.
Dong Xuebing looked at Cheng Keliang as he left and thought to himself. Xie Huilan is taken, and no one will be interested in her in the future. This is good news.
Suddenly, an attractive figure walked out of the building in high heels.
Dong Xuebing rolled down the window and waved to Xie Huilan.
Xie Huilan smiled and walked over to a black Passat. She asked the driver, Old Xing, to leave first before entering Dong Xuebing's Santana. But Xie Huilan is sitting in the front passenger seat and not in the driver's seat. Many people saw this scene. Dong Xuebing had come to the County Government Office Building to fetch Mayor Xie from work, and Mayor Xie is sitting in Dong Xuebing's front passenger seat. This is the first time Dong Xuebing and Xie Huilan had revealed their relationship in public. Many people who were doubtful of their relationship now believe it. They are really dating!
In the car.
Xie Huilan looks at Dong Xuebing. "What's wrong? Did you call me to get off work earlier? What's wrong? "
"It's like this." Dong Xuebing smiled. "My Mum. My Mum and her relatives want to meet you and asked me to bring you back. What do you think?"
Xie Huilan looks at her watch and laughed. "Let's meet another day, alright?"
"What's wrong?"
"It's too late now."
Dong Xuebing is not happy. He only cares about his reputation. "The City's meeting had been delayed, and what else can you do for me? If it's a little late, then so be it. My mother has already said that she wants to see you today, and I've agreed to it. If you don't go, where can I put my face? I know you met my mom, uncle, and aunts when you were in the hospital, but this time, we're in a relationship. It's different. You … "
Xie Huilan looks at her watch and shook her head. "Alright. Let's go."
Dong Xuebing replied grumpily. "Why are you so unwilling? If you don't want to go, I will go back myself! "
Xie Huilan laughed when she saw Dong Xuebing getting angry. "When did I say I don't want to go?" Xie Huilan points to herself. "It's 5 pm now, and I don't have enough time to change if I rush back to the village. This is my first time going to your house, and you should let me get ready to leave a good impression on your Mum, right?"
"Sigh … you should have told me earlier." Dong Xuebing replied. "You don't need to change. You look good in this outfit."
"Haha … you don't mind. Fine … fine … I will not change if you say this outfit is good. Let's go to the mall to buy something first."
"No need. I had already bought everything."
"What you bought is not the same as what I bought. Just do as I say. Drive. "
Dong Xuebing laughed when he saw Xie Huilan was so attentive. "Alright. Sit tight."
