Evening.
County's People Hospital. Fourth floor.
Dong Xuebing is lying on the bed and flipping through an economics book. He is trying to refresh his memory. After torturing Xiang Daofa, Dong Xuebing has nothing else to do. It's useless to be angry and can only wait for the situation to change in the hospital.
Ring … ring … ring … Dong Xuebing's phone rang.
"Hello, Chief Dong?" A middle-aged man's voice rang. "I'm Park Yongxi."
"Oh, Master Park. Hi."
"Chief Jia had contacted me and told me about the investment fair. What's wrong? I heard the person in charge of the investment fair had changed. " Dong Xuebing had informed Park Yongxi about the investment fair and had discussed the details. That's why Park Yongxi sensed something is wrong when someone claiming to be the person in charge of the investment fair called him. "You are not in charge of the investment fair?"
Dong Xuebing sighed. "Something happened here, and I am not in charge of it for the time being."
"What happened?"
"It's the organization's arrangement. Haha … I can't do anything about it."
Park Yongxi paused for a second and continued. "I heard the politics in your country are complicated, but it is more complicated than I expected." He knows about China's political system and understood what happened after hearing what Dong Xuebing said.
Dong Xuebing is also upset as he is furious over this incident.
After chatting for a while, Park Yongxi said. "I understand. I will speak to Chief Jia about the sports stadium. Rest well, and I still want to have a duel with you after you are discharged."
"Ok. No problem."
After hanging up, Dong Xuebing looks at the Investment Promotion Agency through the window and then at the County's Party Committee. Although Dong Xuebing had taken revenge on Xiang Daofa in the afternoon, he will not let this matter rest. Bitten by a dog? His pet is dead? Dong Xuebing had only done this to vent his anger. Compared to the achievements of nearly 100 million RMB projects and his experience at the investment fair, these are nothing.
Knock … knock … someone knocks on the door.
Dong Xuebing looks over. "Come in."
Luo Haiting, Guo Panwei, and Lin Pingping entered with fruits in their hands. "Chief."
The three of them looked worried. Luo Haiting didn't dress up that day. She seemed to have gone home to change her clothes.
"Sigh … didn't I tell you all not to come?" Dong Xuebing laughed. "Why are you all still here? Thank you, thank you. Take a seat, please. "
"Your body …"
"It's my heart problem from last time. Sorry for troubling you."
But everyone knows Chief Dong is not hospitalized because of his health. After asking about Chief Dong's condition, Luo Haiting, Guo Panwei, and Guo Panwei looked at each other. In the end, Luo Haiting said. "Chief, the County's Party Committee had made the wrong arrangements. Aren't they creating trouble for our Investment Promotion Agency? It's not easy for the Investment Promotion Agency to improve, and you want to hand over the responsibility to a Deputy Bureau Chief who doesn't know anything about the Investment Promotion Agency?! I was puzzled! Secretary Xiang had repeatedly mentioned the need to focus on attracting investment this year! But this was how he caught it? Isn't this more of a hindrance!? "
Kwok Panwei was also annoyed. "You are the one who pulled Mr. Park's project back, and Jia Yan did nothing and wants to reap the credit? This is too unreasonable! "
"Deputy Bureau Chief Jia is also not good enough." Lin Pingping said. "I don't think he is qualified for this role."
The three of them were furious, and their tone was too harsh.
If they were to say this to someone else, it will be inappropriate. It's taboo to talk about the County's Party Committee and Party Committee's decisions behind their backs. But now, they are saying this in front of Dong Xuebing to show their loyalty. The current situation is not in Dong Xuebing's favor. His authority is being split, and his credit is being snatched away. Who knows if Jia Yan will replace Dong Xuebing after this investment fair? With the County's Party Secretary's prejudice against Dong Xuebing, this is possible. That's why Luo Haiting and the rest said this to show they will stand by Dong Xuebing's side.
Dong Xuebing was touched by their words.
Luo Haiting looks at Dong Xuebing. "Without your leadership, the Investment Promotion Agency will not be able to carry on. That Deputy Bureau Chief Jia arrived in the afternoon and started giving out orders. Sigh …"
"Chief." Lin Pingping looks at Dong Xuebing. "I am not feeling well these few days. Why don't I …"
Dong Xuebing finally knows why the three of them are here and is touched. "I have no choice but to be hospitalized. You all must not shirk your responsibilities."
Guo Panwei replied. "But this is too …"
Dong Xuebing waved his hand. "Sister Luo, Sister Lin, Panwei, I understand what you all are trying to say. But we cannot do this. Since the higher-ups want me to step aside, we must listen to them and not go against them. During the investment fair, you all must cooperate with Chief Jia. Even if you all have any thoughts, you all must suppress them."
It's not because Dong Xuebing is a virtuous person, but he has no other choice.
If the Investment Promotion Agency's leaders refuse to cooperate with Jia Yan, the investment fair will not be held, and conflicts will escalate. This is no longer opposing Jia Yan and Xiang Daofa. It is opposing the entire County, including Xie Huilan, as she is the Chairperson of the investment fair. If Dong Xuebing instigates his subordinates to do this, he will be accused of not looking at the bigger picture. Luo Haiting, Guo Panwei, and the rest will be punished, and Dong Xuebing will not be able to protect himself. This is an excuse for Xiang Daofa to make use of him.
"Chief …"
"Just do as I say. This is a critical period for the investment fair, and no one can use this against you."
Guo Panwei paused for a second and nodded.
Suddenly, someone knocks on the ward's door. Knock, knock, knock … three knocks.
The door opened, and a man in his thirties walked in. He has a buzz cut and a high nose bridge. He looks high-spirited and confident. After he entered, he looked at Dong Xuebing, who was lying on the bed. He smiled. "Are you Chief Dong? I'm Jia Yan. I'm here to report to you. Oh, Section Chief Luo is here too? "Jia Yan's tone is casual and not polite.
Guo Panwei frowned as he is unhappy with Jia Yan's tone.
Lin Pingping also frowned as she looks at Jia Yan, who is empty-handed. Chief is hospitalized, and you don't even want to buy some gifts? One look and one could tell that his attitude wasn't right.
Jia Yan acted as if he did not notice everyone looking at him and stood still.
This is Jia Yan?
Xiang Daofa's spy?!
Dong Xuebing looks at Jia Yan and smiles. "Oh, it's Chief Jia. I had heard of your outstanding performance in the City's Investment Promotion Agency and had participated in two investment fairs. Indeed, Party Secretary Xiang thinks highly of you. From your aura, I can tell you are an expert. Alright, I am relieved to let you handle the investment fair. Do your best."
Jia Yan knows Dong Xuebing is looking down on him. Outstanding performance in the City's Investment Promotion Agency? If he is outstanding, who will come to Yan Tai County? Demote a Deputy Chief? Jia Yan had been a Deputy Chief in the City's Investment Promotion Agency for five years! Although it is true that he had participated in investment fairs, what can a Deputy Chief do? At most, he can print some promotional materials and complete the tasks given to him by the Chief.
This is the first time they met, and Jia Yan is not surprised. He still has a smile on his face.
Jia Yan is sent here by Party Secretary Xiang to snatch the credit. Dong Xuebing's hard work had gone to him, and Jia Yan is prepared to face the pressure. He doesn't care if Dong Xuebing's attitude is good or not. Since Party Secretary Xiang had given him a second chance in politics, he must do his best. With Xiang Daofa backing him, Jia Yan is confident and even has his own plans.
Snatch the credit?
This time, Jia Yan not only wants to snatch Dong Xuebing's credit, but he also wants to wait for an opportunity to stir up trouble within the bureau. He wants to instigate Dong Xuebing's faction and recruit some staff to his side. If everything goes well, Jia Yan felt he can even replace Dong Xuebing as the Bureau's Chief with Xiang Shaolong's support. That's why Jia Yan started to think. These few days, he is ready to do something big.
They didn't get along.
After chatting for a while, Jia Yan laughed. "I still have work to do at the investment fair. Chief Dong, take care of yourself. I will go back first and visit you another day."
After Jia Yan left, Dong Xuebing asked Luo Haiting, Guo Panwei, and the rest to leave.
He took out his phone and called Xie Huilan. "Hello, Xie Huilan. I had met that Jia Yan. He is not good at politics. He had taken all my achievements, and he still does not care about me? No wonder this kind of person stayed with the Deputy Director of the office for so many years. What a dog! Judging from his attitude, it's obvious that he's trying to stir up trouble. He hasn't even sat down properly and he's already thinking about my position? "
"I also want to see how many days he can jump around."
"I had instructed the Investment Promotion Agency's staff to cooperate with Jia Yan and not cause any problems during the investment fair. Is this correct?"
"It's not just right. Haha … this is the right thing to do. " Xie Huilan laughed. "The net is cast, and the stage is set. Since Party Secretary Xiang thinks Jia Yan can perform well, I will sing along with him. Just wait and see."
