Evening. Sister Xie's apartment.
Xie Huilan appeared on the TV, and she was chatting with a few investors.
"Huilan, you are quite good on camera."
"Really? I didn't notice. "
"No matter if you are on or off the TV … you are beautiful."
"Haha … you have been flattering me since the start. Did you put honey on your lips?"
"I am telling the truth."
Xie Huilan, who had just finished blow-drying her hair, had taken off her bath towel and changed into a beige cotton long johns. She walked over and looked at the TV before crossing her legs and sat beside Dong Xuebing. She picked up a white shirt from the sofa and put it on. After that, she stood up and took a sip of tea from a teacup.
Her every move was beautiful.
Dong Xuebing's lust got aroused and moved his hand behind his back to touch Xie Huilan's butt. It's so soft.
Xie Huilan turned and looked at Dong Xuebing. "Is there something on my butt? What are you pinching? "
"Err … err … I had pinched a bug to death."
"Really?" Xie Huilan smiled. "Thank you."
"Don't mention it. You're welcome." Dong Xuebing mustered up his courage and touched Xie Huilan's butt again. "Pinched another bug to death."
Xie Huilan pushed Dong Xuebing's hand away. "Are you trying to take advantage of me? Haha … it's past 9 pm. Let's go back early. "
"Tomorrow is my rest day, and I am not in a hurry to sleep. I will accompany you for a while more."
"If I stay any longer, I will have bugs in my clothes again."
"There are really bugs in my clothes. Don't move. I will pinch it out for you."
"Haha … you are not polite." Xie Huilan laughed and pushed Dong Xuebing's hand away. "We are not married yet. Stop fooling around."
Fine … I did not take advantage of her again.
Time flies when he is with Huilan, and it's already 10 pm.
He looked at Xie Huilan's bedroom door and Sister Xie's soft double bed. He thought to himself, when can I sleep there? Dong Xuebing remembered his marriage. Han Jing's wife and Sister Xie's father had told him that he can register his marriage with Xie Huilan after he is transferred to another department under the County Government.
So, Dong Xuebing was promoted. "Huilan, can I be transferred?"
Xie Huilan laughed. "Can't you think before you say this? Hmm? "
"I've already thought about it." Dong Xuebing replied confidently. "The County had given me a 500 million RMB investment target, and I had completed it within three months. 500 million RMB is not something that can be achieved easily. In the past, it would be considered good if I could earn more than 100 million a year. What about my work results? Furthermore, it is not the middle of the year yet, and I might even get 600 to 700 million RMB at the end of the year. "
Xie Huilan put down her teacup. "I will not deny your work results, and everyone knows about it. But don't forget you had only been promoted to Section Chief three months ago."
"I know it is impossible for me to be promoted to Deputy Section Chief. But if I am transferred to another department …"
"If you are transferred to another department, what's the difference between this and a promotion?"
For example, a Section Chief will be transferred from the Investment Promotion Agency's Chief to the Finance Bureau's Chief, or from the Cultural Bureau's Chief to the Town's Party Secretary. This is considered a promotion, and it's not a small one. Now, Dong Xuebing had attracted 500 million RMB worth of investments to the County, and even the City Government was shocked. If he were to be transferred now, he will not be transferred to some useless department. He can only be promoted and will be rewarded based on his contributions. But Dong Xuebing had only been promoted to Section Chief for less than a month, and he is not even halfway through his one-year probation period. This is too difficult.
Xie Huilan replied. "I need to wait for at least a year."
"One year." Dong Xuebing smiled.
"Don't be discontented. Why don't you read through your resume yourself? When you first entered the government service, how long did you take to get promoted from a staff member to a Deputy Chief? You took a few months, and others took at least two to three years! After that, how long did you take to get promoted to Deputy Section Chief to County's Public Security Bureau's Deputy Chief? Half a year! What about the others? At least two to three years is considered a good result! One year after Deputy Section Chief, you got promoted to Section Chief. It's only been three months, and you are thinking of getting promoted again? Even if I and Secretary Xiang agree, do you think the City Government will agree? "
"That's right."
"A Section Chief who is not even 25 years old is too eye-catching, and it's impossible to get promoted further. It will take at least one year."
Dong Xuebing knew it will be a good thing if someone else gets promoted once every three years. But Dong Xuebing had made up his mind, and it's too late for him to stop.
"Also, have you thought about where you want to go next?"
"… Town's Head? If it's too difficult, I can also go to the Deputy Chief. "
"To others, this might be a good choice. They can stay in the Town's Head and build up their experience. But for you … I don't think it's a good choice."
"Huh? What do you mean? "
Xie Huilan patted the back of Dong Xuebing's hand and rubbed it. "No one can have a smooth career in politics, and it's not a good thing to be in the limelight. You had been in the limelight when you were in the Public Security, and I had transferred you to the Investment Promotion Agency to let you keep a low profile. But who knows you can do so well in the Investment Promotion Agency within a few months. Haha … if you are transferred to a Town's Head, it might not be nice to say that you are too capable, but it will affect your development sooner or later. Even if you don't do anything, you will still be in the limelight when you are promoted to a Town's Secretary. You are only 25 years old, and it's too high profile."
"What's wrong with being capable?"
"You might not understand now, but you will know in the future."
Dong Xuebing rubbed his forehead helplessly. "You are saying that I should be transferred to a middle of the road department to keep a low profile?"
"This is only a suggestion, and it's too early to say. Haha … I don't have the final say on which departments have vacancies. Let's see in one or two years."
One year? Maybe even two years?
Actually, Dong Xuebing is not concerned about which department he will be transferred to. He also does not care if he will have more authority. Yan Tai County's Investment Promotion Agency is also an unpopular agency in the past. Didn't Dong Xuebing also get promoted? What Dong Xuebing cares about now is time. Maybe he is in a hurry to get married to Huilan, or Xiang Daofa's suppression made him feel annoyed. Anyway, Dong Xuebing wants to change his environment as soon as possible. Of course, Dong Xuebing does not want to be transferred to the Sports Bureau or the City's Cultural Bureau. He wants to be promoted and not demoted. He might as well stay in the Investment Promotion Agency for three to four years before he can be promoted to Deputy Division Chief.
Dong Xuebing wants to be transferred to a better department, and that department should not have too much authority. It will be best if the department is in the City … Dong Xuebing felt he is too greedy. He should not get all the benefits, and the world does not revolve around him.
But since Dong Xuebing wants to be promoted as soon as possible, it is not his style to not work hard.
Dong Xuebing set a target for himself. He needs to look for an opportunity to get promoted for one or two years.
Ring … ring … ring … Xie Huilan's phone rang.
Dong Xuebing stretched and stood up. "Go and answer the call. I am going back to sleep." Xie Huilan nodded.
Xie Huilan nodded. "Don't keep thinking about transfers and forget about your work. You must handle all the investments well and get the initial funds from the investors as soon as possible. This is the capital you need to be promoted."
"Do you think I don't understand?"
"Haha … sleep early. Goodnight."
"Goodnight."
Xie Huilan answered after Dong Xuebing opened the door. "Hello …"
Back home, Dong Xuebing washed up and got into bed. Before the blanket was warm, his phone rang. It's Xie Huilan.
Dong Xuebing answered. "What's wrong?"
"I heard the City will be holding an investment fair in Tokyo, Japan, in a few days. The City Leader had contacted the relevant companies and investors last year, and the local government should have contacted them and reached an agreement. Yes, only Fen Zhou City will be attracting investment from the City and districts. But from a long-term perspective, the City decided to get all the Counties' Investment Promotion Agencies to help the City with the investment fair in Japan."
"I am going too?"
"This is not a rule, but the City is placing a lot of importance on this investment fair, and you should lead the way."
"How many people will be going?"
"Three or four should be enough. The City's Investment Promotion Agency will contact you all tomorrow, and you just need to submit the name list to them."
"Alright. I will make the arrangements tomorrow."
"You had worked hard these few days, and you should go out for a break. Haha …"
At first, Dong Xuebing did not think much of it and was about to go to bed after hanging up. The City Government should have discussed with the Tokyo Investment Promotion Agency, and the Counties will only be supporting them. They will not be able to snatch any shares from the Investment Promotion Agency, as they are the main investors. But after lying in bed for a while, Dong Xuebing opened his eyes. He felt this is an opportunity. If he can help Yan Tai County attract more foreign investors and exceed the target of 500 million, he might be promoted earlier.
Never mind. I don't want to think too much.
I will just let nature take its course. If not, I will treat this as a vacation.
With this thought in mind, Dong Xuebing yawned and pulled his blanket up. He slowly fell asleep.
