One day...
Ten days...
Twenty days...
In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.
That morning, just as dawn broke, Dong Xuebin opened his eyes in bed. After stretching lazily, he stayed in bed and watched some long-neglected TV. Why long-neglected? Because he had not been idle this past month either, and on many days, he had not even turned on the television. Aside from taking a day or two off at the beginning to recover his strength, he had once again thrown himself into intense, hectic work for the rest of the month: inspecting the progress of the Dormitory Building reconstruction project, following up on the projects brought in through the Investment Conference, urging the first round of funding for those projects to arrive, attending the County Chief Office Meeting and the County Party Committee Standing Committee, dealing with the Finance Bureau and Investment Bureau, helping County Chief Jiang handle the road construction matter, and so on. After running around for so many days, Dong Xuebin had finally gotten most of it sorted out. Everything that needed to be implemented had basically been implemented, and he could finally rest for a few days.
This felt great.
Listening to music, smoking cigarettes.
A vacation after all that work really was nice.
It was not until he had lounged in bed for more than an hour that Dong Xuebin finally got up. After brushing his teeth and washing up, he rewarded himself with a lavish breakfast.
After eating, Dong Xuebin began making calls one by one.
"Hello, Mom, what are you doing... Hehe, yeah, I have time today. I'm off for a few days, so I can finally catch my breath... Mm, I know, I know. I'm fine, I've been watching my health... How's Uncle Yang... He's doing okay?
