Morning.
District Government.
Executive Deputy Mayor Shen Fei has finally experienced Dong Xuebing’s working style. He is mad, but he cannot do anything to him, as he still needs to find out what happened. The District Government had placed high hopes on this inspection, and Shen Fei could not decide.
The door opened. Dong Xuebing and Chu Qinghua walked out.
On the way downstairs, Chu Qinghua shouted. “Don’t be too much! Dong Xuebing!”
Dong Xuebing laughed. “You are the one who started it. I had told you in my previous call. You might not know me well, but you will find out soon.”
Chu Qinghua replied. “Fine! We shall see!”
“Oh, I am thinking of the same thing.”
“Young man, you got to leave some leeway.”
“Ah, I also want to tell you this.”
Dong Xuebing is amused. I had not offended you after I got appointed, and you framed me during the banquet, causing me to offend the leaders. After that, you got that restaurant to blast music to disrupt our work. When I reminded you that the inspection team had arrived, you cut me off rudely. Who is the one who is not giving leeway?
I am snatching your nomination, and what can you do?!
Both did not speak to each other, and they left separately.
Chu Qinghhua is unsure if the District Government will continue to support him and doesn’t know how close is Dong Xuebing to the Inspection Team Leader.
Dong Xuebing asked the staff member who was driving. “Where is the Inspection Team now?”
The staff member replied. “They are near to Liu Xiang Neighborhood.”
“Alright. Let’s go there now.”
About ten minutes later, the car stopped. Dong Xuebing alighted and saw Zhou Yanru, Guo Mingfeng, and the Inspection Team walking out from a neighborhood exercise area.
Dong Xuebing walks over. “Sorry, leaders. I had to attend to some emergencies.”
Cheng Yandong waves his hand and smiles. “We can walk around ourselves, and you all don’t need to accompany us.”
After chatting with Cheng Yandong for a while, Dong Xuebing called Zhou Yanru and Guo Mingfeng over. He looked at his watch and said softly. “It’s almost lunchtime. Find a good restaurant in our Subdistrict. Are there seven members in the team? Make a reservation for a private room.” Dong Xuebing is prepared to get this spot regardless of what the District Government thinks.
Zhou Yanru nodded anxiously. She still feels it’s not right to do this.
Guo Mingfeng asked. “The District Government…. We….”
Dong Xuebing stopped him. “I will take responsibility for this! Just do as I say!”
Half an hour later.
One hour later.
Before noon.
Dong Xuebing accompanied the Inspection Team to a restaurant and found an opportunity to speak to Cheng Yandong privately. He wants to know if his Subdistrict can pass the initial assessment.
Ring… ring… ring…
Cheng Yandong’s phone rang when Dong Xuebing was about to ask him.
Cheng Yandong did not walk away and gestured to him to wait as he took the call. “Hello.”
“Are you Team Leader Cheng? I’m Shen Fei. We had met yesterday.”
Cheng Yandong laughed. “Oh, Mayor Shen.”
Shen Fei? Dong Xuebing overheard it and knew the District Government was calling to ask about the Inspection Team’s attitude.
Shen Fei hesitated for a second and asked. “I heard the Inspection Team had changed the itinerary last minute and went to Guang Ming Subdistrict. This is…”
Cheng Yandong replied. “Yes. We noticed some issues with Ping An Subdistrict’s nursing home yesterday. We found that Guang Ming Subdistrict had done well and decided to inspect their area. They had done quite well in all areas. Although Guang Ming Subdistrict had not submitted any applications, the Inspection Team has a floating nomination. We had a short meeting earlier and decided to give Guang Ming Subdistrict an opportunity. Of course, they must still pass the assessment first, and it is not decided. The final outcome is confidential.”
Shen Fei paused for a second and did not ask anymore.
Cheng Yandong kept his phone and looked at Dong Xuebing. “Director Dong, what are you saying earlier?”
Dong Xuebing had gotten the answer he wanted.
Dong Xuebing is overjoyed in his heart. This Team Leader Cheng, is interesting. He had made it so obvious and said the outcome was confidential. But his tone is telling Shen Fei that he will not select Ping An Subdistrict and is considering Guang Ming Subdistrict instead. What he said had lowered Dong Xuebing’s pressure. The District Government will switch their support to Guang Ming Subdistrict. After all, the District Government only wanted a role model unit award, and it doesn’t matter which Subdistrict is selected.
Dong Xuebing’s guess is right. Shen Fei told the District Government what happened, and the higher-ups kept quiet. After a while, the District Government called Dong Xuebing on his phone.
It’s Executive Deputy Mayor Shen Fei. “You must get this spot. That’s all.” He doesn’t want to talk to Dong Xuebing anymore and hangs up.
Dong Xuebing knows Shen Fei is representing the District Government to tell him this. This is equivalent to giving him an amulet!
Dong Xuebing returned to his Subdistrict Office to make this announcement!
All Guang Ming Subdistrict’s staffs are excited. No one had expected Dong Xuebing to snatch this nomination from Ping An Subdistrict successfully and even get approval from the District Government!
Haha…
Ping An Subdistrict had disgraced themselves this time!
When Ping An Subdistrict heard about this, they were furious. All of them can’t wait to tear Dong Xuebing into pieces!
This is too much!
Chu Qinghua is feeling the most frustrated. The District Government is not doing anything to Guang Ming Subdistrict for snatching away the nomination from them, and even giving them the task of getting the role model unit award?! He did not expect Dong Xuebing and the Inspection Team to be so close. But it is too late to say anything!
Bam!
Chu Qinghua threw a set of documents on the floor in anger. He had disgraced himself!
