He was getting promoted!
He was going to become a deputy director!
Over the next few days, Dong Xuebin wore a smile from morning to night and was in exceptionally high spirits. Whatever he did, he threw himself into it enthusiastically. He no longer saw work as a burden or a chore, running around the bureau delivering documents and drafting reports for the leaders, while treating his coworkers with great warmth. Seeing Director Dong like this, everyone in the branch bureau began whispering among themselves. Could there be a leadership vacancy at the bureau? Was Director Dong striving to move up again? That could not be right. Director Dong had only just been promoted to deputy section chief; he would not be able to move again for at least three years. How could he possibly be promoted again?
Dong Xuebin had not told anyone about his impending transfer, since it had not been finalized yet. Still, he believed there would probably be no problem on Xie Huilan's end. Central leaders did not make promises lightly. Since she had said she would try to help him, the matter was essentially settled. Nothing should go wrong.
That day.
Saturday morning.
After getting up, Dong Xuebin sat up in bed and picked up his phone to check it. There were no missed calls. He had not turned off his phone at night these past few days, afraid he might miss a call from Xie Huilan. He was growing impatient, but he did not take the initiative to call Sister Xie. He could not appear to be impatiently urging her on. That would leave a bad impression on Sister Xie, and perhaps his deputy director position, which was practically in hand, might fall through.
Come on, hurry up and bring some good news. It
