Noon.
Commission for Discipline Inspection.
Dong Xuebing was having lunch with Zhan Guiping, and they were chatting happily. The Commission for Discipline Inspection staff in the cafeteria were surprised.
"Secretary Zhan and Chief Dong are so close?"
"I don't think so. When Chief Dong was appointed, Secretary Zhan had already applied for leave. "
"That's right. This is the first time Secretary Zhan and Chief Dong met. Could they know each other in the past? "
"Chief Dong had offended Secretary Wan, and Secretary Zhan is still so close to him?"
Even the leaders of the Commission for Discipline Inspection were confused, not to mention the others who didn't understand.
After lunch, Dong Xuebing returned to his office to sign the documents he had not signed for the past few days. He had not been to the office for many days, and although he does not have many things to do, he still needs to attend to many things personally. Just the documents he needs to sign are at least a few dozen.
One hour …
Two hours …
At around 2 pm, Dong Xuebing's phone rang.
Dong Xuebing looked at the caller ID and saw it was Xie Huilan.
"Hello, Huilan? What's wrong?" Dong Xuebing asked.
"Haha, what are you busy with?" Xie Huilan laughed.
Dong Xuebing replied helplessly. "Don't mention it. It's just two hours of signing documents, and my hands are numb. Have you reached the office?"
"I arrived in the morning and saw your car. You are slightly earlier than me."
"Huh? What's wrong? What's wrong? "
"Can't I give you a call if I have nothing to do?"
"Sigh … no. You can call whenever you want."
"Haha … I miss you and wanted to give you a call. Oh, are you free tonight?"
"I still have something to do. Of course, I am free. What are you doing? "
"Let's go home and change, and we will attend a charity fundraiser."
"Huh? Charity fundraiser? Who organized it? "
"It's organized by the higher-ups. It should be around 7 pm. The earthquake had caused great damage to the city, and many people had lost their homes. This is a charity event, and it's similar to a ball or auction. The higher-ups had set the target, and all the City Leaders must attend."
Dong Xuebing blinked. "I am not a City Leader. Why would I go? "
Xie Huilan smiled. "You are going with me. Haha, almost all the City's leaders will bring their wives to this charity event. I will also bring my husband along, right?"
"If you say 'small' again, I'm going to fight you!"
"Alright, how about Big Hubby? You said you'd wait for me at home tonight. "
"Let's talk about it later. I don't want to join in the fun."
"This time, the Party Secretary and the Mayor will be there. They even invited many leaders and cadres from other cities. The political atmosphere will be more intense. You can get to know more people there, which will help your future development. That's it. Listen to me. You have to go even if you don't want to."
"Alright, alright, we'll talk about it when the time comes."
"Don't say anymore. That's it. I'm hanging up."
"Okay, let's hang up."
"Later. Haha, give me a kiss."
"You're always like this. There's no end to it, right?"
"Then are you going to kiss me?"
Dong Xuebing slapped his forehead. "I must have owed you in my previous life." He smacked his phone. "I kissed you. Are you satisfied?"
"Yes. Not bad. You deserve my praise."
"I'm impressed." Dong Xuebing laughed. "I'm still busy. I'm hanging up now."
"Ok. Go home early after work."
"Ok. I will cook, and you can come back for dinner."
"Haha … I will wait for you to taste my hubby's cooking."
After hanging up, Dong Xuebing shook his head. He is not interested in this charity dinner. It's not that he doesn't want to donate money for the earthquake. But it's fine if Dong Xuebing is going alone. At least he will be the leader of the Commission for Discipline Inspection. But what if he is going with Xie Huilan? Dong Xuebing will definitely become "Deputy Mayor Xie's lover." Even if Dong Xuebing is not a male chauvinist, he still felt it is embarrassing to introduce himself like this.
But since Xie Huilan had said this, what else can he do?
Furthermore, Dong Xuebing had not shown his face in public with Xie Huilan in Fen Zhou City, and he must attend this event.
Ring … ring … ring … Dong Xuebing's phone rang again.
Dong Xuebing answered. "Hello? Who is this?"
"Don't you have my number?" It's Luan Xiaoping.
"Hi, Mum. I'm busy and didn't see the caller ID."
"You must take care of yourself. Don't tire yourself out."
"Yes, Mum. What's up?"
"I just want to tell you that Old Yang and I will be going to Fen Zhou City for a charity dinner tonight. Are you and Xie Huilan going?"
"We will be going." Dong Xuebing asked. "Why are you all coming?"
Luan Xiaoping replied. "We had received an invitation during Lunar New Year."
"Heh … why didn't you tell me yesterday?"
"What? You had to attend some social events in the afternoon, and what time are you leaving? What about at night? You came back in the middle of the night, and I had not even woken up the next morning. How can I tell you about this? It's rare for you to come back, and you didn't even speak to me. I still haven't scolded you! "
"Ah … I'm busy."
"Anyway, I will be going over with Old Yang tonight, and I will go over to your place after the dinner. I can also visit Xie Huilan and see how she is doing. Both of you are so busy with work, and I can't stop thinking about you two. I am afraid you two will not be able to take care of Xie Huilan. This is a critical period for pregnancy, and you must take care of her. Do you understand? I will go over to take care of Xie Huilan. "
"Mum, it's fine. Qianqian is still waiting for you to take care of her."
"That's right. Take care of yourselves."
"I know. I will see you tonight."
"Ok. Wear more clothes. It's getting cold."
Dong Xuebing's mother is nagging him, but he knows she is worried about them. He looks at his watch and continued with his work.
It's around 5 pm.
Dong Xuebing stretched and closed his documents before leaving the Commission for Discipline Inspection office. He went to the supermarket to buy some groceries before returning home to prepare Xie Huilan's favorite dishes. Xie Huilan is now the Deputy Mayor, and other than sleeping, she works all day. That's why she will not finish work at the usual time and will return later than Dong Xuebing. When Dong Xuebing is done with dinner, Xie Huilan will be back.
Charity dinner?
Dong Xuebing must go, but he has not decided how much to donate.
He had donated 1,200 RMB to keep a low profile. But now, his assets are over 100 million, and everyone knows about it. Why should he donate 1,000 RMB?
It's not appropriate.
