Afternoon.
Work was over.
Having received his Letter of Appointment, Dong Xuebin happily packed up his things and stepped out of the office in high spirits.
"Director Dong."
"Getting off work, sir?"
"Congratulations."
"Shouldn't you treat us to dinner?"
The moment everyone saw him come out, they all congratulated him.
Clearly, they had all heard that Dong Xuebin was about to be promoted.
Dong Xuebin smiled. "Thanks. A treat? Sure. What does everyone want to eat? It's on me tonight."
Over there, Yin Cheng'an and Chen Dayou also came out of their offices. The two of them probably hadn't expected Dong Xuebin's promotion at all. After all, Dong Xuebin had only been at Second Office for a few days—three months, at most. Before he had even settled into his seat, he was leaving. They truly hadn't seen it coming.
Still, Yin Cheng'an said with a chuckle, "What's this? You're not inviting Old Chen and me for something as good as dinner?"
Dong Xuebin laughed. "Of course I am. We were just talking about eating. I was about to go to your offices and invite you both. You have to honor me with your presence."
Yin Cheng'an said, "That's for sure."
Dong Xuebin looked at Chen Dayou. He had been here for so long, yet he had never eaten with Old Chen. Chen was a very serious cadre. "Director Chen?"
Chen Dayou considered it. "...All right."
Dong Xuebin said, "Then where should we eat?"
"You're treating, so you decide," Yin Cheng'an said. "I'm fine with anything. I'm not picky, haha."
Han Fei giggled. "I'm fine with anything too. But of course, the more expensive, the better. I know Director Dong isn't short on money."
He Zhou laughed. "No one asked you."
Everyone laughed, and even Chen Dayou smiled slightly.
