The next day.
Morning. Nanshan District.
The light rain was intermittent, and the sun parted the dark clouds, blooming a touch of beauty.
Dong Xuebing drove his Cayenne back to Guangming Street Office from Yan Tai County's quarters. It was 8 am, and most of the staff had not arrived for work. The compound was empty. Although Dong Xuebing had only left for a few days, he felt it had been a long time since he last came back. He looked around and returned to his office with an umbrella in his hand.
Around 8 am.
The rain had stopped, and the sun was shining brightly.
Dong Xuebing sat on the sofa leisurely and picked up the kettle he had just made. He placed some Longjing tea on the teapot and started sipping on it. The aroma of the tea made him feel better.
Knock, knock … someone knocked on the door.
Dong Xuebing placed his teacup on the table. "Come in."
The door opened, and Zhou Yanru and Wang Yuling entered. "Director."
"Director, you are back?" Both of them saw Dong Xuebing's car downstairs and knew he was back.
Dong Xuebing nodded and replied helplessly. "I was held up yesterday and could not rush back. Come and have a seat. I had brought back some Longjing tea. It is this year's new tea."
"Thank you, Director. I am thirsty." Wang Yuling smiled and sat down.
Zhou Yanru saw Dong Xuebing was about to pour a cup of tea for her and quickly steps forward. "Director, let me do it. This tea smells good, and I can tell it is good tea leaves."
Dong Xuebing laughed. "If it tastes good, both of you can take a packet of tea each before you leave."
Zhou Yanru laughed and waved her hand. "How can I do that? No, no."
"Try it first. Someone had given me a few packets of tea leaves."
The tea leaves Xie Huilan had prepared for Dong Xuebing were of good quality, and the two of them sat around the tea. Dong Xuebing also took the opportunity to ask Xie Huilan about work. Ever since Zhou Yanru's daughter went to Beijing to study, Sister Zhou and Wang Yuling were more friendly to Dong Xuebing. Last week, Dong Xuebing and Wang Yuling were appointed as model units by Dong Xuebing, and they told Dong Xuebing everything they know. They also told Dong Xuebing about the District Mayor's brother, Geng Xinke, and the rest of the Geng Family. Dong Xuebing could tell that the whole Guangming Street Office was very concerned about this model unit. This was a national model unit, and if they could get it, they would get lots of benefits.
"Is there any news from the higher-ups?" Dong Xuebing asked.
Zhou Yanru shook her head. "Not yet. The district leaders have asked a few times."
Wang Yuling did not know about what happened at the Civil Affairs Ministry. Zhou Yanru had been instructed by Dong Xuebing not to tell Wang Yuling, who was close to her. That's why Wang Yuling felt it was not reliable. After all, there were too many units competing for this position, and it would be hard for them to get it.
How many units are there in China?
It's more than one in ten thousand.
It's almost July, and the commendation ceremony will be held in Beijing in a few days. Dong Xuebing calculated the time, and the nominees should be finalized soon. Dong Xuebing started to worry. He hopes something will go wrong. In the past, he does not care about this role and will try his best to get it. But now, after he knew Xie Jing and Xie Ran's mother is working in the Ministry of Civil Affairs and is a Deputy Ministerial Level Leader, Dong Xuebing decided to get this role. This is the first time Dong Xuebing is handling a political task since he became the Deputy Minister of Civil Affairs. Dong Xuebing had offended many people because of this, and he must not make any mistakes. If not, all his efforts will be in vain.
Just when Dong Xuebing was thinking if he should call the higher-ups, the phone on his desk rang. Ring … ring … ring … ring …
Dong Xuebing took a sip of his tea and did not move.
Zhou Yanru quickly walks over to pick up the phone. "Hello? Secretary's Office … Huh? Oh … yes. Please wait a minute … "Zhou Yanru turned to Dong Xuebing and said softly." Director, it's you. It's someone from the National Respect for the Elderly Office. "
Dong Xuebing stood up and took the phone. "I'm Dong Xuebing." A young man's voice came from the other end.
"Hello, I'm from the Respect for the Elderly Office. I want to inform you all that the commendation ceremony for the elderly will be brought forward. It will be held in Beijing early next month. Your units should get ready and send someone to Beijing. It's best if it's the top leader of the Party or Government. Each unit can only send one representative. Oh, we will send out the invitations and documents as soon as possible."
"Oh, thank you."
"Don't mention it."
Dong Xuebing did not ask if their units were selected as there was no need to ask. Those who were invited to Beijing's commendation ceremony must be from some units that were not selected. The other party did not mention this clearly because the selection was not over yet. But since the Respect for the Elderly Office had called, it was equivalent to telling them that Guangming Street Office had been selected as the National Model Unit!
Dong Xuebing waved his hand. "Director Zhou, Director Wang, inform all the department heads. We will hold a meeting now!"
Wang Yuling asked. "Director, we … we are selected?"
Dong Xuebing smiled and nodded. "Go and inform them."
"Ok!" Zhou Yanru and Wang Yuling were overjoyed.
After they left, Dong Xuebing lit a cigarette. This achievement came at the right time. He had offended too many people in Nanshan District, and most of them were district leaders. Even if he managed to escape unscathed every time, he was still under a lot of pressure. If this carries on, Dong Xuebing might be stabbed by others before he can choose a side. But when Dong Xuebing's old model unit arrives, the situation will be different. He had fought for this unit from the start, and this credit will help Dong Xuebing secure his position. At the same time, Dong Xuebing's confidence is boosted by this unit!
Dong Xuebing immediately took out his phone and called the District to inform Executive Deputy Mayor Shen Fei.
Shen Fei immediately asked. "Is this news true?"
"Yes. It's true."
"… Good job, good job. I'll report to Mayor Yuehua right away. You'll be the first to do this!"
After hanging up, Dong Xuebing walked into the meeting room and told everyone about this news!
Suddenly, Guangming Street Office was in the limelight!
