The next day.
Monday, early in the morning.
Dong Xuebing had just woken up from his hotel room, and his phone rang. It was his old high school classmate, Pang Shuo. They had exchanged phone numbers yesterday.
"Hello, Xuebing, are you awake?"
"I just woke up. Thank you for arranging the hotel for me."
"Don't mention it. Oh, how long are you going to stay in Mayang County?"
"I don't know. But I should be staying at least 3 days. I still have things to settle."
"That's great. When I saw you yesterday, I remembered that we haven't had a reunion for more than a year. I contacted everyone yesterday, and everyone is still free. It should not be a problem for about a dozen of us. This time, I will bring you all to Mayang County to have a good time. This place is not far from Beijing, and they are also relatively close to Beijing. If they can't stay here tonight, I will get someone to drive them back tomorrow. So, it's a deal. Let's meet at 8 pm at the entrance of Mayang Hotel. Don't listen to the name. This is the best hotel in Mayang County. "
"8 pm? So late? "
"The Commission for Discipline Inspection leaders will be visiting during the day. Juan Zi and I might not be free."
"Alright. You all can decide. I don't mind."
"Okay, then I'll see you there. Do you need me to pick you up?"
"No need. I will go by myself."
"Alright, it's a deal."
After hanging up, Dong Xuebing packed his stuff and drove out. He walked around Mayang County and saw all the departments were preparing for the upcoming inspection. Some were cleaning up, and some were reorganizing. Many entertainment venues were closed for business. Dong Xuebing shook his head and muttered to himself. "Formalism." But Dong Xuebing smiled. When he was still working at the grassroots level, he was also like this every time the leaders came to inspect him. Dong Xuebing was not in a position to criticize others. This was the system, and it was inevitable. He just had to get used to it.
11 am.
Dong Xuebing drove to a place and got off to smoke.
After a while, two cars from the City Commission for Discipline Inspection arrived. The cars stopped, and everyone alighted.
"Chief Dong."
"Director."
The first person Dong Xuebing saw was the City's Commission for Discipline Inspection's Second Supervision Office's Director, Liao Huaxiong. Old Liao was of the same rank as Dong Xuebing, but he was a veteran Commission for Discipline Inspection. This time, the higher-ups had asked Dong Xuebing to be the team leader, but it was not easy to choose the Deputy Team Leader. They cannot let someone with a higher rank than Dong Xuebing to be the Deputy Team Leader. Liao Huaxiong, the Deputy Chief of the Second Supervision Office, Luo Haiting, the Deputy Chief of the First Supervision Office, Zhu Zhu, Fei Fan, and two staff from the Second Supervision Office were brought in by Director Liao.
A group of seven or eight people was quite a lot.
Dong Xuebing asked: "Director Liao, where are we going first?"
Liao Huaxiong smiled and said, "You're the leader, I'll listen to you."
Dong Xuebing thought for a while and said. "Why don't we go around Mayang County first and look around today. If there are any problems, we will go to the relevant departments tomorrow."
Liao Huaxiong said, "Alright, you decide."
"Alright. Let's get in the car." Dong Xuebing said.
The few of them boarded three different cars and headed towards Mayang County.
Dong Xuebing was familiar with the route, and he and Liao Huaxiong were in the lead car. He instructed the driver to drive towards the west. This was the only way to Mayang County.
About 10 minutes later.
When Dong Xuebing and Liao Huaxiong entered the County, they saw a lot of people and cars in front of them. There was even a sign beside the sign. "Welcome to the City's Commission for Discipline Inspection for our County." At the same time, a middle-aged man led a group of people over to welcome them.
The driver slowed down, and the cars behind also slowed down.
Dong Xuebing frowned. "Did we inform them before we came?"
Liao Huaxiong shook his head. "I don't think so."
"Then how do they know what time we will arrive? Which road should we take? "
Liao Huaxiong laughed. "This group of grassroots leaders is very influential, and I think this is the only road. As for when we will arrive, I think they should have heard about it."
Dong Xuebing pointed to the front unhappily. "What's wrong with this? Is this an inspection? It's fine if we are here for sightseeing. What will the people think? They will think that the City's Commission for Discipline Inspection is here to eat and drink! Don't they know the Central Government is cracking down on these people? "
Liao Huaxiong nodded. "This is too much. What should we do?"
In front, Mayang County's Party Secretary had walked over. He is a bearded middle-aged man, and a group of leaders is following behind him. Dong Xuebing could see his old classmate, Du Juan, from afar. But Du Juan should not be able to see Dong Xuebing through the glass.
Dong Xuebing doesn't care and waved his hand. "Drive! Let's go! "
Liao Huaxiong paused for a second. "This is a token from the grassroots leaders. It's not appropriate."
"There's nothing inappropriate about it. Let's go!" Dong Xuebing said.
Liao Huaxiong smiled in his heart. Chief Xiao Dong is really impulsive.
Actually, Dong Xuebing does not like this formality, but he cannot stop the car. There are so many people looking at him, and he cannot let them gossip about him behind his back. They are not here for an exchange or an inspection. They are here for an inspection, and they are the leaders of the Commission for Discipline Inspection. How can they do their work when everyone is in the same boat? It's better to let these leaders wait.
After working in the Commission for so long, Dong Xuebing knows how the Commission for Discipline Inspection works. Now, he is acting like a leader.
Dong Xuebing and Liao Huaxiong have different opinions, but the driver knows who is the leader of this team. The driver heard Liao Huaxiong's words and stepped on the accelerator. He drove past the leaders of the County's Party Committee. The two Commission for Discipline Inspection cars behind were stunned and quickly followed. They did not even stop and left the County's Party Secretary and his team on the road.
After a while, the Commission for Discipline Inspection cars drove away.
The County's Party Secretary, Sun Yitao, was stunned. Du Juan and the rest of the leaders were also nervous. No one expected the Commission for Discipline Inspection leaders to leave like this.
One of the leaders took a deep breath. "Secretary, this …"
Sun Yitao's face changed. "What?! The slogans are gone! Everyone is gone! "
That person asked carefully. "What about the Commission for Discipline Inspection leaders?"
Sun Yitao ignored this person as he is also not sure. "Let's go first!"
