Pang Shuo patted Dong Xuebing's shoulder. "How many years has it been since we last met? I was wondering why you did not attend the previous class gatherings. "
Upon hearing this, Pang Shuo let out a deep sigh and said, "The city doesn't want us to live in peace."
It's normal for classmates to compare each other when they get together. For example, their wives are prettier, or who has a higher rank or salary. Dong Xuebing did not mind about it as he is not someone who likes to show off. He is not the type of person who likes to show off in the past, and he still is.
After dinner.
Pang Shuo said, "With some connections, the two of us were transferred to Mayang County during the new year, and we've finally made it out. Sigh, civil servants are just a bunch of useless qualifications. Without qualifications, it's all for naught. No matter how capable you are, they won't even acknowledge you. Forget it, you wouldn't know even if I told you. Anyway, civil servants might look glamorous on the surface, but most people wouldn't even know the hardships inside.
Dong Xuebing parked his car by the roadside and alighted. He walked around the area to look for a place to have dinner.
"What are you talking about? I am leading a team to patrol, and of course, I need to dress formally."
Dong Xuebing did not drive his own car as it will attract too much attention. That's why he drove a 1.8 Passat from his office yesterday. It's not too embarrassing, and it's not too eye-catching. As for the few members of Team 3, Dong Xuebing had informed them that he will be going to the place first. He asked them to follow him tomorrow and don't worry.
"Huh? What's wrong? "Dong Xuebing asked.
"I know better than you. Let's go. Hahaha."
The two young men and women were stunned. "Eh? You are … Dong … Dong …"
County town.
Dong Xuebing replied humbly. "Haha … how can I be compared to you all?"
Dong Xuebing chatted with Xie Huilan for a while before leaving with his luggage.
Pang Shuo laughed heartily, "Alright, since I've met you today, I can't leave. The two of us have to have a good meal, my treat, let's go!"
Pang Shuo waved his hand. "We are all old classmates. Don't stand on ceremony."
Sunday.
"It's torture." Du Juan shook her head. "The environment there is too harsh."
It was a bustling street.
After three rounds of drinks.
Three hours …
Dong Xuebing blinked. "Then both of you are … Bureau Chief now?"
Pang Shuo said, "If you encounter anything here, just look for me. I still have some face here. If there's anything, just say it."
Morning, at home.
"Let's go then. There are so many things to do."
Du Juan slapped her forehead. "Right, right, look at my brain."
Pang Shuo also drank a little too much. "Xuebing, I didn't know you had never drunk in High School. How come you can hold your liquor so well now? Today, I drank to my heart's content! "
Dong Xuebing asked. "What should we do now?"
Du Juan also grumbled, "It's hard on our side too. I'm afraid we'll be busy all day tomorrow just with the reception work. Sigh, can't these city leaders do less inspections?"
Dong Xuebing laughed. "Alright. Thank you in advance."
"You're quite diligent, kid. Alright, I'll take this one. It's not bad, it suits you well."
Dong Xuebing tried to recall, and two names appeared in his mind. "Pang Shuo! Du Juan! "Dong Xuebing smiled and shook their hands." I don't know who Dong Xuebing is. "
Dong Xuebing laughed. "Don't worry. Let me treat you."
Mayang County used to be a poor county at the provincial level. But because it was very close to Beijing, it was no longer a poor county because of the housing prices. Now the housing prices in this county were higher than many places in Fen Zhou City. Generally speaking, Mayang County had been developing well in recent years.
Pang Shuo entered, and the restaurant owner came out to welcome him. "Oh, Chief Pang, Director Du, what brings you here? Please come in, please come in. "
Du Juan looked at Pang Shuo. "Xuebing, what are you doing now?"
"We will talk about it later."
"Don't say that." Pang Shuo replied. "But if you can't continue working in your company, you can come and look for me. I will be staying in Mayang County in the future, and I can get you a job with a salary of a few thousand RMB. It will be better than your previous job."
"Okay, I'll listen to you. Then I won't come back for a few days. I'll eat out by myself. I'll probably stay for more than a week. If you really can't do it, you can call my mom over. I'm worried about you staying at home alone. You have to eat well and rest well.
"Of course, I will treat you. Come in." Pang Shuo waved his hand.
"Sigh … I am fine." Pang Shuo laughed. "Both of us had just reached our Deputy Section Chief positions. We did not work for nothing."
"Get dressed. Oh, can you help me decide which outfit to wear?" Dong Xuebing asked.
"Deputy Chief." Pang Shuo took a sip of tea and put down his cup. "I am working at the Construction Bureau now, and Du Juan is working at the County Government Office as the Deputy Chief."
Pang Shuo and Du Juan are Dong Xuebing's classmates in Beijing's High School. They were dating when they were in school, and they are still together after graduating from High School. Also, from the rings on their fingers, they should be married. Dong Xuebing's relationship with them during High School was normal. After graduation, they had no contact with each other. But someone told him that Pang Shuo and Du Juan had passed their Civil Servant exams and went to the western regions to train. Dong Xuebing was not surprised that they could not remember Dong Xuebing's name. In High School, Dong Xuebing's classmates were average, average looks, and average physical education students. They still remember his surname, and Dong Xuebing felt it was not bad for them to remember his surname.
That woman remembered Dong Xuebing's surname and pointed at him. "Dong Xuebing!"
Pang Shuo and Du Juan are doing well. They had only worked for two years, and they are promoted to Deputy Section Chief rank. They have the right to be proud and kept chatting with Dong Xuebing about their work. Although they are complaining, Dong Xuebing could tell they are satisfied with their work and life. They are only showing off. Dong Xuebing did not say anything. He had been a low-key person since High School, and this time, he continued to listen to them quietly.
Pang Shuo sighed. "That's right. I had been there for two years, and they are really good at training."
Xie Huilan, who had just woken up, walked out of her room. "What are you doing?"
Dong Xuebing laughed. "We had just gotten married a few months ago, and you two should be married too. I saw the rings. "
"Let's go and have a look. Some things will not be seen until the local officials prepare them."
Pang Shuo was surprised. "That's fine. But we Civil Servants are mainly getting benefits, and our benefits are not much better than yours."
Dong Xuebing was surprised. Pang Shuo and Du Juan are quite popular here?
Pang Shuo immediately said. "Alright. Lower your voice. Don't let others hear you."
Dong Xuebing replied. "Both of you are doing well."
Dong Xuebing sighed. "I am busy with work and don't have much time."
"Patrol? Isn't it Monday? Why are you going today? Is your mission brought forward? "
"Are you going? Hurry up. We are leaving now. "
The moment Dong Xuebing entered the restaurant, two men walked in from the side and bumped into each other. Dong Xuebing frowned.
Pang Shuo nodded. "We are about the same age. Juan and I had just married for two months. How are you? Are you doing well? How much is your salary now? "
Pang Shuo laughed. "Give me a private room. It is quieter."
Dong Xuebing laughed in his heart. Are you all talking about me?
In the restaurant.
"You don't know." Pang Shuo replied helplessly. "The City's Commission for Discipline Inspection had sent an inspection team over tomorrow. We don't know what they will find out. The City's Commission for Discipline Inspection only needs to say a few words, and we have to follow behind them. The County Government had ordered all the departments to be prepared to receive the leaders from the City's Commission for Discipline Inspection tomorrow. We must not make any mistakes, especially our Construction Bureau. I heard there was a school building collapse in Fen Zhou City, and the Construction Bureau should be the target of inspection. We will be very busy."
In the private room.
Du Juan frowned. "Stop drinking. We still have something to do tomorrow. Don't delay us."
"Ok. Just tell me if you need anything."
Dong Xuebing replied: "I am here to Mayang County for some errands."
Dong Xuebing tightened his collar and entered a restaurant that looks good.
"You look so handsome. Haha, are you going to meet your lover?"
"Then I will give you a kiss before you leave."
"Ok. Please follow me." The boss is very friendly.
All of them are Deputy Section Chief level leaders?
The young couple frowned and shouted. "Why are you squeezing?!"
Dong Xuebing replied honestly. "About 4,000 RMB."
The cold wind was blowing.
Dong Xuebing ordered a few dishes and asked. "I heard both of you are Civil Servants after you graduated from university? You even went to the west? "
Pang Shuo put his arm around Dong Xuebing's shoulders and asked. "Brother, are you married now?"
Dong Xuebing was thinking in his heart. Who is squeezing? But when his eyes turned cold, he paused for a second.
Two hours … …
Deputy Chief? Deputy Chief?
Du Juan said. "The dishes are here. Come and eat while it's hot."
Pang Shuo passed the menu to Dong Xuebing and smiled. "Just order what you want. Make it Maotai. Let's have a good drink."
One hour … …
Before noon, the car entered Mayang County.
Dong Xuebing woke up before 7 am. After brushing his teeth and washing up, he took out a few sets of clothes and tried them on in front of the mirror.
