Dong Xuebing had caught him!
"Are you bored? Huilan, are you worried about me?"
Dong Xuebing looked at the security guard and passed a paper bag to him. "I am a student from this class."
The security guard opened the bag and returned it to Dong Xuebing. He pointed to the northwest direction. "The auditorium is over there. Just turn right."
The Party School is big, and Dong Xuebing did not reach the end even after ten minutes.
In the end, Dong Xuebing called Xie Huilan.
The auditorium is in front, and a group of people are standing in front of a long table. They seem to be registering.
Dong Xuebing walked over and shook their hands. "Prefectural City. I am making an exception to attend this class. Please take care of me."
Dong Xuebing did not drive, as his Cayenne is in tatters. He had asked someone to sell it, and he had walked over.
"We are all classmates. What's wrong?"
"My name is Han Xinghua. I am from the Central Publicity Department." Han Xinghua introduced himself.
Dong Xuebing thought it was Xie Huilan, but he realized it was Han Xinghua, who had exchanged numbers with him earlier.
"I still have something on. I will hang up now. Haha …"
"Xiao Dong, I had invited a few friends and former colleagues to the Party School's cafeteria for lunch. It's almost 12 pm. Shall we go together?"
Before noon.
Dong Xuebing thought to himself, and his mind returned to the phone call earlier. Surprise? What kind of surprise is it? This is annoying!
"I had just finished, and I am still in my dormitory. I don't know what he is doing."
Han Xinghua was stunned. He knew the Street Office Director is most likely a Section Chief, and how can he attend the Divisional level Advanced Course? But Han Xinghua did not ask much, and they chatted for a while before packing their luggage. Dong Xuebing could tell Han Xinghua, a Deputy Section Chief of the Central Publicity Department, does not care much about him. His enthusiasm is only on the surface. Dong Xuebing is furious.
He put down his phone and stared at Xie Huilan. This Xie Huilan is always like this. Will you die if you go along with me just once? Every time, I have to follow your rhythm and follow your pace. Who did I offend? Who did I offend? How infuriating! But when Dong Xuebing thought about it, he could not get mad at her. Sister Xie had always been domineering, sly, and arrogant. Dong Xuebing likes this about her, and it's like he is possessed.
I will teach this Huilan a lesson!
Han Xinghua took out his phone. "Let's exchange numbers. What's yours?"
Dong Xuebing looked at the queue and quickly walked over. After registering, he received a Party School Student ID and a hostel key. After that, he followed the crowd into the auditorium. Many people were seated inside. There are more than a hundred students in this batch, and most of them are middle-aged. Some of them are in their thirties, but Dong Xuebing is the only student in his twenties. That's why he stood out when he entered, and many people looked at him.
The door was ajar, and there seemed to be someone inside.
"Okay, then we'll wait for you at the entrance of the cafeteria."
After exchanging numbers, Han Xinghua walked out of the hostel. No one knows where he went.
After leaving the hostel, Dong Xuebing walked towards the north and noticed the cafeteria not far away. It should be a few decades old.
"Please show me your ID." A security guard stopped Dong Xuebing.
A middle-aged man standing beside the guard asked. "Provincial City?"
The first speaker was a vice president of the Party School of the Central Party School. He first welcomed the new students and said a few words. Then he went straight to the topic and explained the main training content of this advanced course. He also specifically emphasized the "three changes" that everyone had to fulfill during the Party School, from leader to student, from work to study, and from family life to collective life. The Party School is an important training ground for Party leaders. The purpose of requiring students to achieve the "Three Transformations" was to strengthen the training of Party spirit, correct their learning attitudes, and strictly abide by the school's rules and regulations. This was to inject a strong motivation for the cadre to strengthen and improve the construction of the style of study. Thus, the construction of the style of study would be consciously carried through from the beginning to the end of education and training, and to ensure that students would learn something and gain something from learning with a good style of study.
"Oh, is it appropriate for me to go?"
Many of the students knew each other and got to know each other when they met. To be able to reach this level, they must have been in the government for at least a decade. Even if they did not know each other in the past, they should have heard of each other when their friends introduced them. But Dong Xuebing is an exception. He looked around and did not recognize anyone. He did not even see a face he had seen before. This is mainly because he had only been working in the government for two years, and his network is not as good as others.
Dong Xuebing also packed his luggage. "Sure, Brother Han."
Dong Xuebing found a seat at the back and waited patiently.
There were two beds in the room, one on the left and one on the right.
"No problem. Let's start the meeting first. We will contact each other later."
After that, a few teachers walked over with a name list and started to assign the students to their classes.
"You are too insincere. I will not tell you about it now."
Section Chief?
"Huh? Wait, wait, wait! What surprise? "
Han Xinghua said to the people behind him. "Let me introduce my roommate, Xiao Dong. He is the City's Street Office Chief. He is young and promising."
"Old Chen, it's been a while."
"Aiya, I'm just joking. I miss you, okay? Tell me. "
"Hello, Brother Han?"
Everyone politely greeted each other.
"Old Lui? You are here too? I heard you are transferred to the grassroots level? "
Dong Xuebing replied helplessly. "Actually, it's nothing. I am just bored."
"Really? I had wanted to give you a surprise, but since you don't miss me, forget it. I'm hanging up now. "Dong Xuebing said.
Two days later.
As soon as the leaders sat down on the rostrum, the people below immediately fell silent.
Behind them, a few more people entered the podium. They were here to report to the Party School.
"Xiao Dong, over here!" Han Xinghua waved his hand. There were four men and one woman beside him.
This was the first time Dong Xuebing came to the Central Party School, and it was also the first time he walked past this area. This place looks like a university campus, and there was a row of shops on the right side. He could see a small shop, a hairdresser, etc. These were all part of the Party School. Opposite him was a school building with a few words on it. "Welcome new students." Further in, there were a few dormitory buildings on both sides of the campus. Dong Xuebing knew many country leaders and Central Government leaders had come here to study. He slowed down and looked around. He took in every building in the area.
The name list should have been prepared in advance. Dong Xuebing was assigned to Class 3, which was also the last class of the Divisional level Advanced Course. The teachers led the students to the class, and they sat down like university students. They started to vote for the class monitor, publicity committee member, study committee member, etc. Dong Xuebing was not on the list. He was too young, and he was still a Section Chief. No one would pick him. Dong Xuebing did not mind. He is here to learn and has no intention to fight for anything.
Suddenly, Dong Xuebing's phone rang.
Prefecture-Level City?
Dong Xuebing took his things and found his dormitory building. He looked up and registered himself before going upstairs to his room.
But when they heard Dong Xuebing was only a Section Chief, and he was still working in the Street Office, they did not look at him any differently.
Dong Xuebing had nothing to do and wanted to use this opportunity to get to know more people. He quickly packed his things and went downstairs.
"Not really." Dong Xuebing replied. "I don't really want to."
"It's not easy for us to meet each other. I heard Old Zhang is here too. Let's go for lunch later."
About an hour later, the ceremony ended.
Dong Xuebing's phone rang for a long time before he answered. "Hello? What's up?"
Dong Xuebing quickly walks over.
"Haha … are you at the Party School? Have you finished your report? "
"Ok. Thank you." Dong Xuebing kept the paper bag.
Dong Xuebing closed the door and sat on his bed. He looked at his watch and called Qu Yunxuan, Luan Xiaoping, Yu Meixia, Geng Yuehua, and the rest. Aunt Xuan and her parents had arrived in the south safely, and Sister Yu and Qianqian are staying with her parents. Dong Xuebing is the only one left in Beijing now. The Advanced Studies course will last for about a month, and he doesn't know how he will get through the next 30 days.
Central Party School.
"Are you missing me?"
Dong Xuebing told the man his position and told him that he is a Prefecture-Level City's Street Office Director.
The man turned and smiled. "Hi, it seems like we are sharing the same room."
Dong Xuebing walked through the entrance of the courtyard.
"Ok. I will go downstairs now."
The dormitory is like those old hotels. The decor is ordinary, but it is very clean.
Beep … beep … beep … Dong Xuebing hung up.
The school's opening ceremony will start in 20 minutes.
The class rested for the day. Classes would officially start tomorrow.
"Ah! Don't hang up … "
Dong Xuebing stood at the entrance and looked into the courtyard. He could feel the solemn atmosphere, and he was in awe of this place.
Dong Xuebing entered and saw a man in his early thirties packing his luggage on a bed. He knew this man is his roommate. "Hi."
After a while, the ceremony started.
"You don't even miss me, and why should I tell you?"
Dong Xuebing put down his luggage and shook hands with that man. "My name is Dong Xuebing. Just call me Xiao Dong."
"Yes. I had been there for three years."
Han Xinghua introduced the rest to Dong Xuebing. That woman is Director Mei, the skinny man is Director Zhang, Secretary Chen, and Director Zheng. Some of them are from the Central Government, some from other provinces, and some from the grassroots. But they are all Divisional Heads or Deputy Divisional Heads.
"Xiao Dong, I need to go out for a while." Han Xinghua laughed. "Shall we have dinner together later?"
