Friday morning.
Street Office Hostel.
Dong Xuebing had decided to stay in Beijing for one or two days and return on Sunday or Monday. After all, it is not easy to use his connections. He must treat the relevant leaders to a meal and might also need to give them gifts. That's why Dong Xuebing had brought along some clothes before he left. Anyway, tomorrow is the office's rest day, and it will not affect his work if he is away for two days.
After going downstairs, Dong Xuebing walked to the back of the Cayenne and opened the boot to load his stuff.
Not long after, Wang Yuling happily walked out of the corridor with a suitcase in her hand. She looked very excited.
Dong Xuebing laughed. "You have a lot of things?"
"It's just clothes." Wang Yuling smiled. "Chief, which car are we taking?"
"Let's take my car. The roads are not good, and it is more convenient to go off-road. Come, put your things over."
"Ok." Wang Yuling was overjoyed. This Cayenne is much better than those old cars in the office. Although Wang Yuling is going on a business trip, she is still in high spirits. Even though Fen Zhou City is not far from Beijing, she had only been there a few times. This is a rare opportunity.
After waiting for a while, Zhou Yanru and a girl about 15 or 16 years old came downstairs with their luggage. Zhou Yanru saw Dong Xuebing waiting for them, and she quickly walks over.
"Chief, sorry to keep you waiting. I was looking for some things and wasted some time."
"It's fine." Dong Xuebing helped her carry her luggage. "Come, Sister Zhou. Put your luggage in."
"I don't need to trouble you. I can do it myself." Zhou Yanru was touched. Her leader is showing her respect by helping her carry her luggage, but she does not dare to be rash.
Wang Yuling also does not dare to let Dong Xuebing carry Zhou Yanru's luggage. She smiles and carries Zhou Yanru's luggage into the car. After that, she touched the little girl's face. "Little one, you have grown taller."
The little girl blushed and said softly. "Sister Yuling."
Dong Xuebing asked curiously. "This is?"
Zhou Yanru quickly said. "This is my daughter, Cheng Cheng. Cheng Cheng, this is Uncle Dong."
"Uncle Dong." Cheng Cheng called out obediently. Next, she helped her mother put down the luggage. She appeared somewhat shy.
This time, Zhou Yanru had brought quite a bit of luggage with her. After placing everything into the Cayenne, she felt somewhat embarrassed and said with a smile, "The child's aunt is working in Beijing. Cheng Cheng is planning on staying there for a period of time during the summer break. She won't be able to carry too much by herself, so I decided to bring her luggage over first."
Dong Xuebing replied. "Let's go together. It's not like I can't fit in the car."
Zhou Yanru smiled and said, "This … isn't a good idea. It's not suitable."
Dong Xuebing understood what she is trying to say. This is a business trip, and it's not appropriate to get involved in personal matters. But Dong Xuebing is not an unreasonable leader. He waved his hand and said. "We are all family, and there is no need to be so particular. You are going to let this kid go to Beijing alone? How can you feel at ease? "He reached out to pat Cheng Cheng's shoulder." Let's go, Cheng Cheng. Did you get everything? When you are ready, let's go. "
Of course, Zhou Yanru also wanted to bring Cheng Cheng along. If not, she would not have asked her daughter to help her carry the luggage. Hearing Dong Xuebing's words, Zhou Yanru immediately said. "Aren't you going to thank Uncle Dong?"
"Thank you, Uncle Dong." Cheng Cheng smiled sweetly.
"You're welcome. Haha, let's go."
"Chief, you can sit at the back." Wang Yuling eagerly volunteered. "I will drive. I will drive."
Dong Xuebing was suspicious. He laughed and asked. "Xiao Wang, do you have a driving license?"
"Yes. I will take the driving license after I graduate from university." Wang Yuling promised. "Don't worry. We will arrive safely. Hehe."
Previously, Dong Xuebing had driven Wang Yuling and Zhou Yanru to work. It was only a few minutes' drive. But this time is different. The drive to Beijing is at least 1 to 2 hours, and it's not appropriate for Chief Dong to drive personally. But from Wang Yuling's expression, she seems to want to get the feeling of driving a Cayenne. Anyway, Dong Xuebing and Zhou Yanru could see the eagerness on her face.
Just drive. Dong Xuebing does not mind.
Half an hour …
One hour …
Two hours …
Wang Yuling was very excited as she drove. She kept talking about how good this car was. That was true. A two million yuan car was definitely different from a two hundred thousand yuan car. This was something that didn't even need to think about.
Beijing.
Cheng Cheng's eyes widened as she stared at the bustling city. It seems this is her first time in Beijing.
Wang Yuling was also unfamiliar with the city. She could not help but slow down. "Chief, where are we going first? Err … I don't know the way. "
Dong Xuebing looked at his watch and smiled. "It's noon. Let's have lunch first. Cheng Cheng, what do you want to eat?"
Cheng Cheng replied shyly. "Anything is fine."
"Anything? What is it? Tell me. "
"Then … then snacks." Cheng Cheng said.
Zhou Yanru turned and stared at her. "This child. You are not shy."
"Haha, snacks are good. Since we are in Beijing, we must try Beijing snacks." Dong Xuebing pointed. "Go straight ahead and head east. Go to Qianmen."
Wang Yuling was surprised. Then, she remembered. "Ah, right. Chief is from Beijing."
Zhou Yanru realized what happened and remembered Dong Xuebing's resume says he is from Beijing, and his car's plate number is also 'Jing'.
Dong Xuebing smiled. "That is why, as the host, I have to treat you well. Haha, let's go to Qianmen. There is a snack street there."
Cheng Cheng blinked. "I have heard of Qianmen before. Don't Beijing people call it Qianmen?"
Wang Yuling giggled. "Beijing people love to use 'er' sounds."
Dong Xuebing was speechless. "Cheng Cheng, who did you hear about Qianmen? Qianmen, Tiananmen on the side, Heping Men on the west, Xizhimen, Dianmen, and all the other big and small 'gates' in Beijing are just called 'Men'. There's no sound of a child. That's what the people in Beijing call it. It's the same as Mandarin. After thinking for a while, he said, "Right, Dongbianmen and Xibianmen are called Men. The others are not."
Cheng Cheng asked curiously, "Erm, is there a special way to use a Beijing accent?"
Dong Xuebing shook his head. "I don't know if there is a special way. Anyway, not everything has a 'er' sound. I can't explain it clearly. Haha, there is no pattern." Dong Xuebing doesn't understand. His accent is passed down from his ancestors, and it's easy for him to speak like this. But Dong Xuebing had never thought about why he speaks like this.
Cheng Cheng listened attentively. "Uncle Dong, can you tell me more about what happened in Beijing?"
Dong Xuebing smiled suspiciously. "What is it, Cheng Cheng? Are you interested in Beijing? "
"Yes!" Cheng Cheng nodded. She was looking forward to it.
Zhou Yanru turned around with a smile and explained, "Headmaster, Cheng Cheng has just finished her senior high school entrance exams and should be entering her first year of high school soon. Since her aunt is from Beijing, the child also wants to study in Beijing. No matter what, it's better than studying in the city. Cheng Cheng has been looking forward to coming to Beijing ever since she was young. Hehe, that's why after the exams this time, I wanted to scout out how the Beijing high schools recruit students. I heard that if one's household registration is not in the local area, it would not be easy to get in."
The High School Entrance Exams are over?
Dong Xuebing nodded. "Her aunt is from Beijing?"
"Not really." Zhou Yanru smiled bitterly. "They are from Fen Zhou City, and it is not easy to get a Beijing household registration. Their unit had only given them a Beijing household registration."
Dong Xuebing nodded. "Then, they will need to pay sponsorship fees. I heard the fees are quite high. How was Cheng Cheng's result?"
"The exams had just ended, and the results are not out yet." Zhou Yanru said. "But she had compared her answers, and she did well. That's why I want to see how the Beijing High School enrolls students and see if she can get in."
High School?
That will be difficult. Some of the high schools have their own entrance exams, and most of the students had taken the exams. Most of the places are limited, and there are only a few quotas. Sponsorship fees might not be enough. Of course, Dong Xuebing did not say this. There is no need to dampen her enthusiasm.
Along the way, Cheng Cheng innocently asked Dong Xuebing all sorts of questions. Dong Xuebing was also a 'Beijing veteran'. He was born and raised here and was familiar with Beijing's happenings. Thus, he patiently explained everything to Cheng Cheng. Even when they entered Qianmen Street, Dong Xuebing was still explaining to Cheng Cheng in detail, from the glorious deeds of Qianmen Dashilan to the cooking methods and names of some of Beijing's local snacks. Zhou Yanru and Wang Yuling would also join in from time to time.
Dong Xuebing felt good with three beauties by his side. Many passersby looked at him.
Dong Xuebing felt good, as he likes to bring women with him. Of course, it is not because he likes them. Anyway, it is better to have three beautiful women with him than three burly men.
After lunch, Dong Xuebing saw the three of them were so enthusiastic, and they were looking around absent-mindedly. He decided. "Alright. I had asked the Ministry of Civil Affairs about the model units. The relevant departments will not rest on Saturdays and Sundays. You all can do whatever you want today. You all can go shopping or have fun. You all don't need to inform me."
Wang Yuling was overjoyed. "Thank you, Director!"
But Zhou Yanru interrupted. "This is not right. Director, we …"
"If I say it's fine, then it's fine. Work and rest." Dong Xuebing had always been considerate to his subordinates. He threw the car keys to Wang Yuling. "I will leave the car with you all. Go shopping, and we will talk about work tomorrow."
Wang Yuling paused. "Ah … I can't accept this."
"Then what are you going to drive?" Zhou Yanru also felt it is inappropriate. "No. No."
"I have a car. You all can go." Dong Xuebing pushed his hands.
Wang Yuling and Zhou Yanru took the car keys and looked at each other. Treating Dong Xuebing to a meal, giving him a holiday, and giving him a car? Where can they find such a good leader?
