(Chinese Academy of Sciences Project Settled!)

One late morning.

Ring Ring Ring.

Ring Ring Ring.

The phone didn't stop ringing.

Dong Xuebin received many greetings from friends and colleagues. Even Discipline Inspection Committee Secretary Pu An personally visited his office to ask him what was going on. Everyone had many guesses about Dong Xuebin's behavior this time. Some people thought that County Chief Jiang had a conflict with him, and there were differences in political views. Some people thought that the Jiang faction had made some kind of compromise on interests to Secretary Meng's faction, and felt that there were some things they didn't know involved. Others thought that Dong Xuebin couldn't control the situation of the Development and Reform Bureau, so instead of waiting for the Development and Reform Bureau to have problems, it would be better to throw it to others first. Anyway, there were all kinds of opinions, but no one was really stupid enough to think that Dong Xuebin had a physical problem. What was Dong Xuebin's answer? He just said that his body was not good. When Pu An came to ask, Dong Xuebin also answered like this, saying that he was too tired, weak, and anemic, as if he was terminally ill. Pu An was dubious, and finally didn't ask any more questions.

The County Chief meeting had already adjusted the division of labor, but it had not yet been brought to the Standing Committee. This adjustment may also be voted back, so Dong Xuebin was also afraid of problems, so he simply did a full set of acting, called County Chief Jiang and asked for another day off, and went to the hospital for examination in the late morning.

CT scan.

X-ray.

Blood test.

Everything that could be checked was checked.

Dong Xuebin couldn't wait to be hospitalized for a few days.

Noon.

Ci Boyang received a call from County Party Secretary Meng Rui, and didn't go downstairs to eat. He went directly to Secretary Meng's office, knocked on the door and went in, "Secretary Meng."

Meng Rui pressed his hand, "Sit down and talk."

Ci Boyang sat in front of his desk, "Have you heard?"

Meng Rui nodded, looked at him and said, "What's going on?"

Ci Boyang smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know either. County Chief Jiang temporarily convened an office meeting, and said about the division of labor adjustment, and then the meeting was dismissed."

Meng Rui frowned and said, "Isn't the work progress of the Development and Reform Bureau going well?"

Ci Boyang said, "Yes. There has been no problem. I just called to inquire, and I didn't hear anything. I don't understand why Dong Xuebin would unload the burden of this important department, or did he take the initiative to propose it? This..."

Meng Rui said, "I heard that County Chief Dong went to the hospital?"

"Yes, he asked for leave, but his body should be fine, right?" Ci Boyang wondered, "Even if his body is really not good, and the old injury relapses, how can the Development and Reform Affairs be thrown out? Even if he doesn't have time to deal with the work there, the Development and Reform Bureau also has a top leader and a second leader to deal with it. He doesn't need to do everything himself. I don't understand what Dong Xuebin means, and County Chief Jiang's attitude doesn't seem to be very clear."

Meng Rui was also a little confused about Dong Xuebin's move. "County Chief Jiang adjusted your Science and Technology Affairs to County Chief Dong?"

Ci Boyang nodded, "Yes, if Dong Xuebin is really not in good health and wants to unload the burden, then why add the Science and Technology Bureau to him? Just because the Science and Technology Bureau is not very important? There is not much work? Well, there is also this possibility, is County Chief Jiang finding a balance for Dong Xuebin?" The Power of Time and Wealth 1499

Meng Rui said, "Has the Science and Technology Bureau been okay recently?"

"No." Ci Boyang said helplessly, "What can happen to such a small department? There is not even a proper office location. I only listen to the work report of the Science and Technology Bureau once every month or two." After speaking, he sighed, "So I really don't understand. When I heard County Chief Jiang say that the division of labor was going to be adjusted, I thought it was aimed at me. Who would have thought that Dong Xuebin's power would be divided and taken away, and given to me."

Meng Rui was silent for a while, "You go eat first."

"Okay." Ci Boyang then left.

Meng Rui sat alone in the office and thought about it. He thought more than Ci Boyang. Dong Xuebin's move made him first think that the people of the Jiang faction wanted to take down Ci Boyang? If Ci Boyang is too deeply involved with the Science and Technology Bureau, Dong Xuebin will take over and check the accounts, and he will be able to take down Ci Boyang. But Meng Rui thought it was impossible, because that was the Science and Technology Bureau. There is no profitable department at all. Even if Ci Boyang is stupid, he has nothing to take even if he wants to reach out. Moreover, looking at Ci Boyang's attitude, it is obvious that he has nothing to hide. Excluding this, did Jiang Fangfang or Dong Xuebin want to make some kind of exchange with him? Thinking about it, this possibility is the greatest. The day before yesterday, he received a sick leave application from a deputy Township Head of Clear Water Township. Is the Jiang faction eyeing this position? But Meng Rui was still quite puzzled, because he had not received any communication from Jiang Fangfang beforehand. Why did he give the Development and Reform Bureau to the Meng faction without even saying hello? The Development and Reform Bureau is not a dispensable unit like the Science and Technology Bureau.

Meng Rui still kept a vigilance.

But even though he couldn't understand it, Meng Rui couldn't think of a reason not to pass this division of labor at the Standing Committee meeting in two days. How could he not eat the meat that was delivered to his door? There was no reason to refuse. If he rejected the adjustment decided by the County Government, not to mention whether Ci Boyang would have any thoughts, it would be like slapping the Jiang faction in the face. At this moment, when the Meng faction and the Jiang faction were in a honeymoon period, Meng Rui obviously didn't want to flip out with the Jiang faction. Both sides knew that Zhenshui County had ushered in a period of rapid economic development, and fierce internal conflicts would not benefit anyone.

After thinking it over, Meng Rui also made a decision in his heart.

Two days later.

At the County Party Committee Standing Committee meeting.

The meeting approved the adjustment of the division of labor between Comrade Dong Xuebin and Comrade Ci Boyang. Furthermore, on the issue of the candidate for Deputy Township Head of Clear Water Township, Dong Xuebin recommended Yao Cui without avoiding suspicion, and Comrade Yao Cui was approved, appointing Comrade Yao Cui as Deputy Township Head of Clear Water Township, taking office in a week. Several other appointments and work adjustments were also passed one by one. The meeting was relatively harmonious, and the Meng and Jiang factions each gained something.

Five more days passed.

Just when everyone had almost forgotten about Dong Xuebin's inexplicable initiative to unload his responsibilities, a phone call from the Chinese Academy of Sciences notified the County without warning. Immediately afterwards, the Deputy Governor in charge of Science and Technology Affairs also made a phone call, announcing that it had been determined that the Chinese Academy of Sciences' latest 503 Experimental Base would be located in Clear Water Township, Zhenshui County. The project would start on time on the first of next month, and Zhenshui County was requested to fully cooperate. As for the site selection, communication with the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and coordination and command of the local Government, it all naturally fell on Dong Xuebin, who was in charge of Science and Technology Affairs.

When the news was heard, the whole County was in Shock!

No one expected that such a huge pie would fall on their Zhenshui County!

They hadn't even tried to fight for it, yet such a big project fell on their County? Was there such a good thing in the world?
