Before noon.
Dong Xuebin and Xie Huilan parted ways after they came out of Old Xie's house. They both drove over and had no choice but to separate. Sister Xie went back to Yantai County directly. Dong Xuebin hadn't packed up his things yet, so he planned to be late. or go back tomorrow, so he drove directly to an art store, threw 10,000 yuan out, and found someone to frame Old Xie's "Without Shame in One's Heart" as quickly as possible. It took about ten minutes and it was OK. Then Dong Xuebin looked at the words with satisfaction and drove home.
North Entrance of Heping Street.
Dong Xuebin stretched out, took the key and opened the door with a smile. This trip to the Xie Family was quite rewarding. The Power of Time and Wealth 327
He was in a good mood, humming the national anthem and leaned back on the sofa, crossing his legs and bouncing.
Suddenly, the bedroom door opened without warning, as if there was a ghost!
"... brother!"
"Xiao Bin, are you back?"
Dong Xuebin was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. Looking at the bedroom door, he said with lingering fear, "Oh, you two want to scare me to death. What's going on?" The people in the room were actually Yu Meixia and Yu Qianqian. "Didn't you two go back to Yantai last night?"
Yu Meixia said embarrassedly, "The car broke down on the way, and it took a long time to repair it. The driver said to wait for the next car, but there were too many people on the car, so Qian Qian and I didn't squeeze in. Then it was already late, and I didn't know what to do. I wanted to call you but was afraid of delaying your business, so I came back."
Dong Xuebin patted his forehead, "Do you have the key to your home?"
"...Qian Qian Yes." Yu Meixia said.
Xiao Qian blushed as if she had done something wrong and said, "When I came to Beijing, I was afraid that you and my mother would not be at home, so I secretly brought Aunt Luan's key."
Dong Xuebin was convinced, "You two are really good at it."
Yu Meixia lowered his head, "I'm sorry."
Dong Xuebin said sincerely, "I'm not criticizing you. If the car breaks down, just ask the driver. He has to take care of you no matter what. Even if it doesn't work, go back to the station. If it doesn't work, just call me and it's over. I have something to do." If something happens, I don't care about you two. I'm not familiar with Beijing. You two are so beautiful. If something happens, who should I call? Don't make your own decisions next time! At least tell me!"
Xiao Qian's eyes turned red after being criticized.
Dong Xuebin softened and said quickly, "Ahem, don't cry, don't cry. Uncle has no other intention. He's just worried about you two. Okay, just be okay, just be okay."
Yu Meixia looked at him, "Then, are you going back today?"
"Go back. I'll take a rest first and drive you away in the afternoon."
"... Shall I make you a cup of tea?"
"Well, I'm thirsty, thank you."
Seeing that Xiao Qian Akane was not in high spirits, Dong Xuebin coaxed her and told a few jokes, which made Xiao Qian Akane amused. After Sister Yu poured tea for him, Dong Xuebin took the tea cup and calmly touched a handful of oil on Sister Yu's little hand, which made Yu Meixia's face heat up. The Power of Time and Wealth 327
Just as he was talking, the doorbell rang, ding-dong, ding-dong.
Dong Xuebin was stunned, wondering who he was talking to, and walked over to open the door.
The man standing outside was in his early thirties, with small eyes and a sharp nose. He was dressed in a brown jacket and black trousers, and had a bag on his arm. At first glance, he looked like a leader in the agency. Dong Xuebin glanced at him and was stunned that he didn't recognize him. After a closer look, he was... He laughed and said, "Who do I think it is, Pan Wei!" The person who knocked on the door was actually Guo Panwei, Dong Xuebin's former subordinate in Guoan Chengxi Branch Bureau General Office.
Guo Panwei said respectfully, "Director Dong, am I bothering you?"
Dong Xuebin was very happy to see his old subordinate, "Don't disturb me, come in quickly, Sister Yu, make a cup of tea."
"No, no, I'll do it by myself, do it by myself." Guo Panwei is still the same as before, always very cautious in front of the leader.
Dong Xuebin smiled and said, "You're welcome, sit down quickly, I'm no longer your leader, don't be so reserved."
When Guo Panwei heard this, he immediately expressed his position. "Director Dong, if you hadn't recommended me to Director Xu before you left, I wouldn't have been able to take over the position of deputy director General Office at that time. It's all because of your support that I am here today. No matter whether you are still in Guoan or not, you will be my leader for the rest of my life!"
Dong Xuebin pointed at him, "You kid, you haven't failed at flattering me either."
Guo Panwei said anxiously, "It's really true, not adulterated at all."
"Haha, by the way, how did you know I was back?"
"I went to Si Ji Qing Bridge to see my dad this morning. When I came back to cross the road, I happened to see you driving a Mercedes Business past the intersection. I was afraid that I saw it wrong, and I wasn't sure." Guo Panwei put a large bag of fruit on Coffee Table, "I bought something to see you. Who would have thought that you were really here."
Dong Xuebin patted his shoulder and said, "You are interested. Sit down and drink tea."
Guo Panwei greeted Yu Meixia mother and daughter politely, and then sat half-assed on the sofa.
After chatting briefly for a while, Dong Xuebin realized that Guo Panwei's work had not been going smoothly since he left. In fact, Dong Xuebin also guessed that if his career was booming, he probably wouldn't be in such a hurry to find her. Within a month since Guo Panwei became deputy director on the recommendation of Dong Xuebin, director Li Qing of General Office was promoted. Li Qing's position was replaced by The people from the Political Department took over and immediately took the power of General Office. The deputy director Guo Panwei also suddenly became a decoration. The work could not be carried out at all. He even had enough qualifications and was not even in place to take up the deputy department that should have been promoted.
Guo Panwei and Dong Xuebin complained for a long time and felt discouraged.
The new director of General Office is not young, but he is far from the age of retirement. This means that the new director basically plans to retire at General Office and is unlikely to move. Therefore, with such an immovable mountain blocking the promotion route, Guo Panwei suddenly has no hope. It is strange that it is not miserable.
Dong Xuebin sighed, "It's not easy anywhere."
"Alas..." Guo Panwei sighed.
"How are Sun Zhuang and Tan Limei?"
Dong Xuebin Once I get to the grassroots level, I have less contact with my former colleagues and friends, and my relationship is a bit distant.
Guo Panwei said, "Xiao Sun has been transferred to the Political Department, and Little Tan is still with General Office. There is no change. Compared with you, we are far behind." With these three words, he is still in the same profession, and he is flattering again. The Power of Time and Wealth 327
Dong Xuebin smiled and said, "Whenever I have time, call my former colleagues and I'll treat you to dinner."
"Director Dong, hi, I'm used to it, so it should be Director Dong." Guo Panwei said, "Are you still working with the County Public Security Bureau?"
"Forget it." Dong Xuebin said, "I will take up the post at the Investment Bureau after the year."
Guo Panwei didn't know much about Dong Xuebin's situation after joining the grassroots level. He was surprised when he heard this, "Top Leader?"
Dong Xuebin nodded, "The work I just adjusted, Order of Transfer came down a while ago."
"Oh, congratulations on your promotion."
I really admire Guo Panwei. When I was working at General Office, Director Dong was promoted twice. Who would have thought that after being promoted to the grassroots level for a whole year, he was actually promoted again, and he still took a big step from deputy department to Zhengke Level. This is so damn fast!
In an instant, Guo Panwei's thoughts came to life. At first, he planned to ask Dong Xuebin to help him move around. The deputy director of Xu Yan and several leaders of Chengxi State Security Bureau Branch had a good relationship with Dong Xuebin. Guo Panwei wanted to advance, and wanted to take the upper-level route through Dong Xuebin's relationship. But when he heard the news that Dong Xuebin had been promoted again, and became Top Leader of the county Investment Bureau, Guo Panwei had other thoughts.
It's twelve o'clock noon.
Dong Xuebin looked at his watch and said, "It's time to eat. Your stomach is empty, right?"
Xiao Qian touched her belly and nodded pitifully, as if she was very hungry. Yu Meixia and Guo Panwei didn't eat breakfast either.
Dong Xuebin said, "Okay, I'll call the restaurant to order some dishes, Pan Wei, we haven't seen each other for a long time, we need to have a few drinks today."
Guo Panwei also saw that there was nothing left at home, and immediately said with a wink, "I'm going to buy wine."
Dong Xuebin said, "Okay, there is a tobacco and alcohol store fifty meters downstairs to the west. By the way, bring back two packs of cigarettes, Yu Xi."
"Okay." Guo Panwei was in a high mood, and Dong Xuebin was not polite to him. This made Guo Panwei feel very comfortable and proved that the leader did not regard you as an outsider.
Half an hour later, the food from the restaurant was delivered.
Dong Xuebin handed the wallet to Sister Yu, but Guo Panwei rushed to pay the bill.
During the meal, Guo Panwei first raised the wine glass and toasted to Dong Xuebin, "Old leader, I wish you a smooth career and promotion. I'll do it first as a courtesy, you can do whatever you want." He raised his neck and drank the glass.
"Thank you." Dong Xuebin was very considerate and drank a drink.
Then, Guo Panwei toasted Yu Meixia and Yu Qianqian with a glass of wine respectively. The people around the leader, Guo Panwei, always paid great attention to her and did not neglect her because Yu Meixia looked a bit like a rural nanny, nor did they ignore Xiao Qian because she was young.
Dong Xuebin nodded secretly. Pan Wei's eyelids were still very sensitive.
During the dinner, both of them drank a lot of wine.
Finally, Guo Panwei felt that it was almost done, so he got down to business and said sideways, "Old leader, when you leave, our backbone will be gone. To be honest, I really want to follow you and work under you for the rest of my life. It won't matter if I can't be promoted. The key is to feel at ease. I can't find a good leader who takes care of his subordinates like you in the whole city." It's flattery again, and the more you talk, the more disgusting it becomes.
Yu Qianqian chuckled.
Yu Meixia hurriedly grabbed her daughter and stopped her from laughing.
Dong Xuebin heard something interesting and looked at him, "Do you want to work at the grassroots level? Let me tell you first. The work at the grassroots level is very different from yours. It is not a good job and it is not easy to carry out the work."
Guo Panwei said solemnly, "As long as I can fall under your hands, I will fight against mountains of swords and seas of fire."
After thinking about it, Dong Xuebin nodded slightly, "Well, I'll help you take a look when I get back."
As soon as he heard that it was done, Guo Panwei was overjoyed and quickly toasted Dong Xuebin with a few more glasses of wine, feeling very excited.
