It's past ten o'clock.
Taoranting Park.
It was dark and dim, with heavy snow falling, and a mist hanging overhead.
Dong Xuebin and Fang Wenping climbed to the top of the mountain in a few minutes and found a pavilion. They got in and sat down side by side. There were bright lights in front of them and firecrackers blasting in their ears. However, they were probably the only two people in the entire park now, so they still seemed a little lonely and cool.
Dong Xuebin asked, "Why come here?" The Power of Time and Wealth 1752
Fang Wenping looked into the distance and said, "I want to find a quiet place. Do you have any questions?"
"That's no problem, but what time is it?" Dong Xuebin still complained.
Fang Wenping said very unhappy, "I don't want you to go back by yourself, but I'm not forcing you!"
Dong Xuebin said, "You're so drunk, can I go back without worries? Come on, I'll stay with you for a while. What's wrong with you today?"
Fang Wenping said firmly, "It has nothing to do with you."
Dong Xuebin said, "Just tell me, there is no one else here anyway."
The cold wind carried heavy snowflakes through the pavilion, and both of them shivered subconsciously. It was strange that it wasn't cold on this day.
Fang Wenping buttoned Mink Coat inward, crossed his legs and looked into the distance and said, "It's okay to tell you, don't you think I look pretty? Ha, but now, I don't even know how to celebrate the New Year. How about going home for dinner? My family looks at me strangely. My colleagues come to visit me? My subordinates come to visit me. On the surface, they are respectful to me, but in fact, they are not respectful of me, but are afraid of me."
Normally, Dong Xuebin would definitely leave her alone, but today Fang Wenping drank too much, so Dong Xuebin comforted her, "Being afraid of you is also a form of respect for you."
Fang Wenping said, "But my family is also afraid of me, and the younger ones in the family are also afraid of me!"
Dong Xuebin snorted, thinking that your past deeds were too bad, "This..."
"On New Year's Day, I can only talk to you, Xie Family, Grandson-in-law. Do you think I'm sad or not? Huh?" Fang Wenping said, "I know, all of them think that I Fang Wenping is a bastard who doesn't even recognize his relatives. They're all afraid of me. Haha, you know? I almost always eat alone during the Chinese New Year. It seems like I'm too scary to come here alone. What do you think I mean?"
Dong Xuebin said, "Then you can't say that, I have the same argument with you. When I was working at the grassroots level, I offended the leaders, let alone eating, let alone coming to visit for New Year greetings, you know? At that time, when people saw me from afar, they stayed away, and they didn't even dare to say anything. Tell me, I'm afraid that what I said will reach the ears of a leader, but I came here at that time, what's the matter? I don't need to be ignored by others, I do my own thing, I have a clear conscience, what do others think of me? I don't care about them!"
Fang Wenping glanced at him and said, "You look quite similar."
"We are the same kind of people, I've seen it a long time ago." Dong Xuebin said this, and also took her bottle of wine over, took a big gulp, and warmed herself up.
Fang Wenping saw this and grabbed the wine bottle from his hand.
Dong Xuebin sweated. "I've already drank it, and there is the mouth of the bottle..."
Fang Wenping had already finished taking a sip into his mouth, "Huh?"
"Uh, it's okay." Dong Xuebin felt that his saliva had probably touched Fang Wenping's thick lips, and his face felt hot. The Power of Time and Wealth 1752
Fang Wenping put down the bottle of wine, "Do you have something to do with me today? Tell me."
Dong Xuebin groaned, "Let's talk about it after you sober up. It'll be fine."
"Just tell me, where are the ink marks?" Fang Wenping said, "Do you think I'm drunk?"
It's not that I think you are drunk to begin with. Dong Xuebin was speechless for a while, and then said, "I'm tired of working here. I want to transfer to a county in northern Shaanxi, Jiaolin County. I don't know if you have heard of it, but there are no vacancies there, County Party Secretary and County Chief seems to be retiring early, and there is no job transfer. I can't get through it. I just want you to contact me and see if you can transfer me there. I know that is your Fang family's territory, so you can definitely speak well."
Fang Wenping frowned, "Jiaolin County? Are you sick?"
Dong Xuebin was not surprised by her reaction, "I have decided anyway."
"I've heard of it, and I even went there once when I was young. The economy is average, the industry is average, and agriculture is just that. Although the economic development in other counties over there is pretty good, it's still far behind. Why are you going there? You're either sick or you're too full to do anything!" Fang Wenping looked at him, "Do you feel uncomfortable working with my subordinates?"
Dong Xuebin defended. "It's not your fault. I just want to go there. I don't want to go to other counties, just Jiaolin County. I naturally have my own considerations. The main problem is that I can't do it here now. I need the approval of your Fang family. Can you help me?"
"No." Fang Wenping said happily.
Dong Xuebin: "... Why?"
Fang Wenping said, "Why should I help you?"
Dong Xuebin said matter-of-factly, "Let me tell you, you still owe me a favor."
"I've taken care of the child for you!" Fang Wenping said, "No one owes anyone anything!"
Dong Xuebin was really speechless, "... Anyway, please help me, County Party Secretary or County Chief, just take one of them away. At worst, I will help you if something happens in the future."
Fang Wenping was speechless.
"Director Fang." Dong Xuebin said.
Fang Wenping said, "Even if I take care of it for you, you still won't be able to get through it."
"Don't worry about it. I've already contacted you in other aspects. The only problem is whether they can pick you up." Dong Xuebin said firmly.
Fang Wenping looked at him and said, "You didn't make any mistakes. This is the first time I've seen someone willing to be demoted to a lower level."
Dong Xuebin said, "I just want to do something for the people, okay?"
Fang Wenping confirmed. "Have you already thought about it?"
"I've thought about it." Dong Xuebin confirmed. "I have to go down no matter what." The Power of Time and Wealth 1752
Fang Wenping paused and said, "Okay, Jiaolin County's County Party Secretary, I'll let them adjust it when the time comes, but you owe me a favor, you know?"
Hearing this, Dong Xuebin was immediately excited, "Okay!" (To be continued...
