Beep, beep!
The whistle for the end of the match was blown!
0: 0. Finally, it was a draw!
Dong Xuebing released his grip on the ball and used his elbow to wipe the sweat off his forehead. He was panting heavily. From other people's point of view, he had saved the ball brilliantly. But only Dong Xuebing knew how dangerous it was. He almost missed the ball. Luckily, the ball had hit his left finger and was hit by his right thumb. If not, the ball would have brushed past his glove and entered the goal.
Now, he was sweating profusely.
Luckily!
On the other side, the Chaoyang Branch players were covering their heads, and the Western District players were cheering!
"Bing Zhi!" A tall and fat Zhuang Zhi ran over. "You are really good!"
A short player that Dong Xuebing did not know gave him a thumbs up. "Nice save! If I knew you are so good, I should have let you be the goalkeeper for the first few matches! That way, we will not lose 6 matches in a row! "
Tan Limei screamed: "Bing Zhi, good job! You can even save the ball! You are too good! "
Chang Juan only shouted one word: "Awesome!"
More than a dozen team members surrounded Dong Xuebing at the back of the court, laughing and chatting with each other.
Guo Shunjie did not know how to react when he saw Dong Xuebing had saved the ball again. That ball had been hit from the corner of the net. How did it get saved so easily? This Dong Xuebing's luck was too good.
Xu Yan from the Eastern District Branch saw they did not lose the match and shook her head. She turned and walked away.
Xu Yan looked at Xu Yan's back view and smiled. She walked towards Dong Xuebing: "Nice job! Nice job! "
Dong Xuebing quickly replied: "Thank you for your compliments. I was just trying my best." Hahaha. Xu Yan's impression of him had improved a lot.
"Xiao Dong, don't be so humble." Li Qing smiled. "You are our hero. Without you, our team would have lost!"
A few months ago, Deputy Bureau Chief Yang Yizhong had told Xu Yan about a newcomer in the General Affairs Office. After that, Li Qing's office was on fire. Xu Yan heard that this newcomer had risked his life to save two sets of important documents from the fire. But as she was busy recently, Xu Yan did not know who that newcomer was. She only found out that the newcomer was Xiao Dong. Xu Yan looked at Dong Xuebing again and nodded in her heart. Dong Xuebing could even save such a tricky penalty kick. His nickname as a firefighter was not wrong!
On the return bus, the atmosphere was very relaxed.
Xu Yan, who was sitting in the last row, asked Dong Xuebing to sit beside her. "I heard from Director Li that you had just been discharged from the hospital and have not fully recovered. Would he be able to fight in tomorrow's match? I want to change the starting goalkeeper to you. I think everyone has the same idea, right? "
"Huh?!" Dong Xuebing got a shock. Damn! Don't do this!
Xu Yan's expression became serious again. "Why? You can't play? "
Dong Xuebing knew what he was capable of. He had relied on BACK to save the ball, but he could only use it once a day, and he could not use it for the whole match. If he were to be the starter for the whole match, Dong Xuebing does not even dare to think about it. His team will be left empty handed. So, Dong Xuebing quickly explained: "Chief Xu, I'm sorry. The doctor said that I cannot do any strenuous exercises. I will not be able to play in the whole match. How about this? If there is a penalty kick or a dangerous free kick, I can save the penalty kick. "
Xu Yan thought for a while and said: "Ok. Ok."
Dong Xuebing was relieved.
Then, Xu Yan took out a pen and scribbled down the starting lineup in her notebook. She looked like she was arranging the players.
Xu Yan was the key to getting the Deputy Chief position. These few days, Guo Shunjie had tried to get close to Xu Yan to increase his chances of getting the position. But he did not succeed. Seeing Dong Xuebing being so close to Chief Xu, Guo Shunjie was furious. Guo Shunjie had decided. After Political Commissar Zhou helped him get the position, the first person he will deal with will be Dong Xuebing. He will not rest until he gets rid of Dong Xuebing!
Dong Xuebing noticed Guo Shunjie's stare and felt a chill in his heart.
He would rather offend a gentleman than a villain. This Guo Shunjie must be up to no good!
No! Dong Xuebing must not be the Chief! Dong Xuebing must work harder!
After a while, the bus arrived at the Western District Branch's main gate. Everyone alighted from the bus. Most of the staff had finished their shifts, and there were not many people around.
Xu Yan was the last to alight from the bus. She stood at the same spot and looked at everyone. She cleared her throat and said: "Luckily, Xiao Dong had saved the penalty kick and stopped our team's 6-game losing streak. But all of you must remember that we had not won 7 games. From the start to the end, our Western District Branch is at the bottom. Don't you all feel ashamed?"
Guo Panwei thought to himself. Of course, it was embarrassing. But their team does not have the ability to win.
Xu Yan had a serious look on her face: "Go back and rest. Reflect on yourself. Why can't we win? Tomorrow is our last match. I do not want to see any losses or draws. That's right. Tomorrow's match against the Eastern District Branch … … We must win! Let them see the strength of our Western District Branch! Do you all have confidence? "
"Yes."
"… … Yes."
Xu Yan's voice was low and listless.
"I can't hear you!" Xu Yan's face turned cold. "Do you all have confidence?"
"Yes!" This time, Xu Yan shouted louder.
"Ok. Dismissed!" Xu Yan was like a coach. She was very focused.
Most of the people who knew what was going on knew why Xu Yan was so serious. Tomorrow's opponent was Deputy Bureau Chief Xu's old enemy, Deputy Political Commissar Xu. Xu Yan must not lose this match and face.
On the way home, Dong Xuebing was deep in thought.
Today, Dong Xuebing had left a good impression on Xu Yan, but it was not enough. It was impossible for Xu Yan to speak up for Dong Xuebing during the Party Committee meeting. If Dong Xuebing wanted Xu Yan's help, Dong Xuebing needed to have a better impression of her. What should he do? Eh? Tomorrow's match was very important to Xu Yan and the rest of the Western District Branch! 7 games without a win! All of them could not afford to lose this match! This was a match that they must win! Then … … if Dong Xuebing performed well again, Xu Yan would surely thank him!
That's right!
Dong Xuebing must make use of this opportunity to improve his relationship with the leaders! This was the only way to stop Guo Shunjie from getting promoted! He must let the Deputy Chief hat fall on his head!
Penalty kick! Penalty kick!
I hope God will give me another chance to save the penalty kick tomorrow!
It all depends on this match!
