Next day. Morning.
Nanshan District, Guangming Street Office building.
Dong Xuebing's apartment is on the top floor of the sixth floor. It is facing north and south, and there is a balcony. The sun shines into the room at 8 am. Dong Xuebing opened his eyes and looked at his watch. He grabbed a pack of cigarettes and a lighter from the bedside table to light a cigarette. After that, he rubbed his aching head and got off the bed. He walked to the bathroom to wash up.
Ring … ring … ring … Dong Xuebing's phone rang.
Dong Xuebing wiped his face quickly and walked out of the bathroom. He grabbed his new iPhone 4S. "Hello, Mum."
"It's time to wake up. Are you awake?" Luan Xiaoping asked gently.
"Haha … I just woke up. Where are you now?"
"I am at my hostel. I had just woken up."
"Eh? Why are you not staying with Old Yang?"
"Don't talk nonsense." Luan Xiaoping replied softly. "We are not married yet, and why are we staying together? I don't have any lessons this morning. Have you rented your apartment? I will help you tidy it up. "
"No need. Everything is settled. You can go to work now."
"I am worried about you and want to visit you."
"Let's talk about it in a few days. My work here hasn't started yet. These few days are the most important. When I finish my work, I'm afraid I won't be able to see you this week. Besides, I don't need to worry about your son. I am doing well. "
"That's good. Take care of your body and eat well."
"I know. I had a big meal with my colleagues yesterday. Haha …" Dong Xuebing laughed.
Last night, Dong Xuebing had drunk a few glasses of Jinliufu, and when he returned home, he was still feeling tipsy and went to bed early. As for the carton of Jinliufu, Dong Xuebing did not drink it in his stomach. He used STOP to stop time and spit it into a small cupboard in the private room. There are a few pots of water in the cupboard, and it's impossible for Geng's men to get him drunk. Even if there are ten more cartons of Jinliufu, Dong Xuebing can still spit it out of the private room. Dong Xuebing is world-class when it comes to alcohol. He can "drink" as much as he wants.
8.30 am.
Dong Xuebing tidied up his hair and left for work in a good mood.
It's only five minutes, and Dong Xuebing did not drive or own a car. The old Passat given to him by the office is not the Chief's car. It's only a public car, and Dong Xuebing did not drive it back yesterday. So, he strolled back to the office. This is the city, and it's better to keep a low profile.
Apart from some of the cadres of the street office, many staff members and clerks also lived nearby.
Along the way, Dong Xuebing saw a few people chatting excitedly. Dong Xuebing recognized them as the people from his office.
"I learned something new yesterday. It's scary."
"That's right. A box of Jinliufu. He drank it all. Is he still human?"
"Are you serious? From what you all said, he drank a box of alcohol? "
"You did not go to the office last night, and Xiao Zhang and I saw it with our own eyes. The rest of our colleagues also know. Why should we lie to you?"
"I knew it. Our new Chief is the head of the Street Office at such a young age, and he is not easy to deal with. Secretary Geng and the rest were tricked by our new Chief."
"That's right. Station Chief Peng and the rest fainted, and Secretary Geng vomited. They were sent to the hospital in the end."
"Sigh … if I had nothing to do at home last night, I would have gone too. I missed a big event."
"Speaking of alcohol tolerance, I don't think anyone in Fen Zhou City can beat Chief Dong. He drank a box of alcohol."
"That's right. There are always capable people behind him."
"Shh … is that Chief Dong behind us? Don't talk about it anymore. "
The few of them saw Dong Xuebing walking over from behind and quickly greeted him. Their expressions were more respectful than yesterday.
"Chief!"
"Hello."
"Good morning, Chief Dong."
Dong Xuebing smiled and nodded at them. "Good morning."
News of Dong Xuebing getting four staff members drunk had spread in the Street Office. Those staff who did not attend the banquet and did not know what happened were shocked. When Dong Xuebing entered the office, everyone greeted him and looked at this new Chief with a high alcohol tolerance. All of them started to think about the situation in the Street Office again. In the past, many people thought that this new director, who had no background and was young, was likely to be replaced by Secretary Geng. However, now it seemed that there was a big question mark. The new director was not simple.
In the courtyard, the Party Working Committee Deputy Secretary Geng Xinke arrived.
Geng Xinke's complexion is pale, and he is not in a good state of mind. It might be because of the alcohol he drank yesterday.
"Secretary Geng."
"Good morning, Secretary Geng."
"Secretary Geng, you are here?"
Although everyone is still greeting him like before, Geng Xinke felt they are looking at him strangely. He remembered how Dong Xuebing made him vomit at the banquet yesterday, and he is furious. This time, he had embarrassed himself in front of everyone. This is not only an issue of his reputation, but it will also affect his reputation. Although it was just drinking, many problems can arise from one aspect. He had wanted to show off his power to Dong Xuebing, but he got drunk instead. This will give others the impression that he is not as good as Dong Xuebing.
Dong Xuebing was about to go upstairs when he heard someone calling him. He immediately stopped and asked. "Oh, Secretary Geng is here?"
Geng Xinke's heart sank, but his face remained calm as he greeted him.
"How are you feeling?" Dong Xuebing is not a magnanimous person and asked. "Are you alright? What did the doctor say? "
Geng Xinke's eyes twitched. "I'm fine. I will go back tonight after an IV drip."
"That's good. Where are Chief Peng and Chief Yu?"
"Chief Yu and Chief Guo are still in the hospital. They might not be able to come today."
"So serious?" Dong Xuebing laughed in his heart. Don't you want to make me drunk? He pretended to be concerned and said, "Then let them have a good rest. I will approve their leave. I will go to the hospital to see them in the afternoon. Sigh, I was really scared yesterday. It looks like everyone should drink less in the future. It is good to bond, but health is the most important. If your health is ruined because of drinking, it will be a loss for the Street Office. En, we have to be more careful when we gather for meals in the future. This is a lesson!"
Geng Xinke almost fainted. Gathering? Go to hell!
Geng Xinke will never drink with Dong Xuebing again. He could tell Dong Xuebing is a bottomless pit. Even ten people will not be able to outdrink him. Last night, Geng Xinke was tricked by Dong Xuebing's act. He felt Dong Xuebing will collapse after one more glass. But in the end, Dong Xuebing got more energetic. Geng Xinke admitted that his alcohol tolerance is not on the same level as Dong Xuebing. That's why he will not jump into the fire pit again.
… …
Annex building.
Party Secretary's office.
Knock, knock. Someone knocks on the door.
"Chief, I have brought the documents." Zhou Yanru walked in with a charming smile on her face. "These are the tasks assigned by the district for this month. There are also some documents."
Dong Xuebing laughed. "Thank you, Chief Zhou."
"It's nothing." Zhou Yanru said. "Oh, Deputy Chief Yu and Deputy Chief Guo had applied for sick leave today."
"Ok. Let them recuperate first. They don't need to rush back to work."
Zhou Yanru smiled and poured a glass of water for Dong Xuebing. "You had opened our eyes yesterday. You finished a box of wine just like that. I was stunned. What do you mean by hiding one's abilities? What do you mean by there is always someone better than you? I am not trying to flatter you. I am impressed. My wife's alcohol tolerance is much lower than yours. Sigh … what a metaphor. " Zhou Yanru slapped her mouth. "How can my wife be compared to you? Look … I am talking too much. I can't control my mouth." Zhou Yanru did not treat Dong Xuebing as an outsider.
Zhou Yanru did not stand on ceremony with Dong Xuebing. From the moment they met, she dared to say anything. But Dong Xuebing did not think much of it. He was touched by Zhou Yanru's actions during the banquet last night. Not only she helped him to drink, but she also showed her strong side at the crucial moment. As one of the lower ranked department leaders in the Street Administration, she dared to stare at Geng Xinke. She was showing that she was on Dong Xuebing's side. In the government sector, those who go with the flow and go with the flow were the most disliked. On the contrary, Zhou Yanru was a 'silly sister' who was not afraid of anything. Dong Xuebing admired her.
Dong Xuebing laughed and accepted Zhou Yanru from the bottom of his heart. "I had been in a few departments before, and they are all too rigid. There are not many leaders like you, Sister Zhou, who are so cheerful. Listening to you every day, my mood is lifted. Smiling is also good for work, especially in a place like the Street Office. Don't you agree?"
"Yes, yes." Zhou Yanru listened to Dong Xuebing and smiled. "If you say this, then I can continue to be cheerful in the future. I am a talkative person. If I don't speak for a while, I will feel uncomfortable. "
Dong Xuebing laughed. "Listening to your Sister Zhou talking is also a form of enjoyment."
Zhou Yanru had an embarrassed look on her face. "You are exaggerating. Look at you. You are making me feel uncomfortable. Hahaha … …"
After chatting for a while, Zhou Yanru left the office.
In the office, Dong Xuebing crossed his legs and took a puff of his cigarette. He had used Geng Xinke's men to establish his authority in the Street Office. This is a good sign.
