Visiting the Secretary's Home

Evening.

County Party Committee Family Compound.

Inside Dong Xuebin's dormitory.

The room was very large, a duplex apartment on the top floor, with a total of two floors. Including the guest rooms, there were three bedrooms and two bathrooms, one upstairs and one downstairs. The second floor also had a small open-air platform. In short, the area was very spacious and bright. Although Dong Xuebin himself had a villa and a Courtyard House, he had never lived in such a high-level accommodation in the Family Compound after working for so many years. This time, he experienced it. It wasn't that he was very happy, after all, he had lived in better places, but he was also very satisfied. As a newcomer, it was definitely not good for him to buy a house here. If the environment was worse, he would have to make do with it, but now it seemed unnecessary. Dong Xuebin was very satisfied with the current accommodation environment.

All household appliances were available.

The quilts, mattresses, and pillows were all brand new.

Even the vegetables and meat products in the refrigerator were all piled up in various ways.

Dong Xuebin was about to cook. After opening the refrigerator door and looking at it, he nodded slightly. He was not a person who craved enjoyment, but this treatment was also an affirmation of Dong Xuebin's work achievements over the years. He had reached this point through his own efforts. People, sometimes what they want to find is actually this kind of recognition of their social value. Dong Xuebin didn't know about others, but for him, he would feel that he had not lived in vain, and that his hard work in the past few years had not been in vain. This was the motivation for Dong Xuebin to continue fighting.

He scrambled some eggs.

Chopped some tomatoes.

Dong Xuebin made a bowl of tomato noodles and took it to the second floor, not caring whether it was cold outside. He directly held the bowl of noodles and went to the open-air terrace, sat on a bamboo lounge chair. As soon as his butt went down, the chair made a creaking sound. Turning his head, Dong Xuebin looked at the night view of the county town while eating his noodles.

After the meal.

The phone rang continuously. Dong Xuebin answered a few calls, some to talk about things, some to invite him to dinner, but Dong Xuebin declined them all. He didn't want to see anyone today. This was not out of work or political considerations, but out of Dong Xuebin's mood. He wanted to be quiet for a day, and deal with anything tomorrow. It wouldn't make a difference. So Dong Xuebin put on his coat and went downstairs. He wanted to take a more direct look at Jiaolin County, to integrate himself into this city, and to give himself a little sense of belonging.

Five minutes...

Ten minutes...

Half an hour...

Dong Xuebin strolled around. He didn't even know where he had gone. He only felt that the place was getting more and more remote, and the road sign said something about Hengchang Road.

Hengchang Road?

It looked a little familiar?

Dong Xuebin had some impression. He remembered that he seemed to have seen it when he looked at Su Yan's file today. It seemed that the address of his new Secretary's home was here. Looking around, Dong Xuebin didn't know the way back. Seeing that there were no taxis, he was too lazy to call a Driver. He had just let them go back in the afternoon, and it was not appropriate to call Xiao Wang out again at this time, maybe he was having dinner.

Dong Xuebin then called Director Meng Hanmei of the County Party Committee Office.

The call was answered, and Meng Hanmei smiled and said, "Hello, Secretary."

Dong Xuebin said, "What is Su Yan's home address? Tell me." The Power of Time and Wealth 1813

"Ah? Secretary Su? Please wait a moment, I will send it to you by text message immediately." Meng Hanmei didn't ask any more questions. She just needed to handle the things that the leader told her to do properly.

Dong Xuebin smiled and said, "Okay, thank you, Big Sister Meng."

A string of addresses was sent over in a moment. It was indeed Hengchang Road, No. 37 Courtyard.

Dong Xuebin didn't say hello to Su Yan, because he was just taking a walk, and it wasn't that formal, so he entered after finding Su Yan's Residential Area.

At the same time.

A household in the Residential Area.

Ding-dong, ding-dong, Su Yan pressed the doorbell.

The door opened, and an old mother with a lot of white hair stood behind the door with a frown, complaining, "Why are you Go Home so late? What time is it?"

Su Yan smiled and waved his hand, holding a pile of books, "I went to buy books."

Su's Mom said unhappily, "Then you should have called home, without saying a word. We're still waiting for you to eat, and the dishes are getting cold."

Su Yan swallowed and squeezed into the house, "I'm starving."

In the Living Room, Su's Dad was still eating, and looked back, "You're back?"

"I'm back, Dad." Su Yan put down the books, looking quite cheerful.

Su's Mom nudged him, "Alright, wash your hands and eat quickly, I'll heat it up for you again."

Su Yan said, "Mom, heat it up later. I left in a hurry this morning and didn't take a shower. I feel uncomfortable all over. And after 13/'>tossing around all day, I need to take a shower first, hehe."

Su's Mom looked at him, "What are you giggling about? Is there something good?"

Su's Dad said from the side, "He even beat someone up a while ago, what good things could happen to him?"

At work, Su Yan didn't show anything, because he knew that if he acted too excited before things were finalized, it would annoy the leaders and make him seem immature. But with his family, it was different. Even though the matter wasn't finalized, it was already settled, and there was nothing he couldn't tell his family. Su Yan couldn't hold back his excitement.

"Dad, Mom, I have something to tell you both." Su Yan sat down on the Sofa very solemnly, and then coughed, "Well, my position is going to change."

Su's Mom was startled, "Have you been dismissed?"

Su's Dad's face also darkened, "Have you been exiled?" The Power of Time and Wealth 1813

Su Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "What are you talking about?"

"You, you've never been liked by the leaders. Instead of being exiled, you're getting a promotion?" Su's Mom didn't quite believe it.

Su Yan smiled, "It's a real promotion. The leader has already talked to me. It'll happen in the next day or two. Well, it's the Deputy Director of the County Party Committee Office."

Su's Mom said in astonishment, "Ah? Really?"

Su Yan said, "Of course it's true. Why would I lie to you about this?"

Su's Dad was also a little excited, "Oh, this is a good thing! Is this considered a promotion? Fuke Level? Good! Good! My Son is finally making a name for himself!"

Su Yan interrupted, "Ahem, I haven't finished yet. Actually, the Deputy Director of the County Party Committee Office is just a title. I'm not going there to take the position."

Su's Dad didn't understand, "Ah? Then where are you going?"

Su Yan said with a proud tone, "Do you know the new County Party Secretary? Ahem, Secretary Dong specifically asked me to be his Secretary."

"Ah? Secretary?"

"The County Party Secretary's Secretary?"

Su's Dad and Su's Mom were both extremely shocked!

Su's Dad used to work in a state-owned enterprise. Although he has retired now, he still knows a thing or two about the inner workings of government. Of course, he knows the value of a County Party Secretary's Secretary. That's the First Secretary of the entire county! Sometimes, a single word from him is more effective than a Deputy County Chief. But the more he knew this, the more Su's Dad couldn't believe it, and asked, "Impossible, how could such a good thing fall on your head? Isn't the County Party Secretary newly appointed? How could he have taken a liking to you? Your resume isn't that impressive either?"

Su Yan was a little embarrassed, "There's something I didn't want to tell you. That time I beat up the Black Car Driver, Secretary Dong was actually in the car too, sitting next to me. So we talked many days ago, but I didn't know he was the County Party Secretary at the time, and... I was terrified after I found out. I've been worried these past few days. Who would have thought Secretary Dong would actually ask me to be his Secretary? I didn't expect it either."

Su's Dad was still uneasy, "It's already decided?"

Su Yan gave a nod, "Secretary Dong and Director Meng have both talked to me, it's decided. I won't be going back to the Secretarial Section tomorrow. I've packed everything up, and I'll report directly to Secretary Dong tomorrow."

Su's Mom immediately slapped her thigh and laughed heartily, "Great, great, our son is really making something of himself this time! The First Secretary, how amazing is that? Oh my, I just remembered, I was wondering why Lao Liu's wife and Old Han's aunt greeted me so warmly when I came home from buying groceries this afternoon. They were even afraid I couldn't carry them and offered to help me take the groceries upstairs. They weren't usually so enthusiastic, and our families' relationship is only so-so. I was wondering about it before, so they must have known something. This is all thanks to my son!"

Su's Dad thought for a moment and said helplessly, "I also received calls from two Old Colleagues just now, people I haven't contacted in seven or eight years. No wonder."

Su's Mom said, "They all know, so it's really decided then."

Su Yan gave a wry smile, "Secretary Dong said it himself, how could it be wrong?"

Su's Mom was excited and immediately said, "No, no, this meal is off. It's all vegetarian dishes. Mom will make you a good meal to celebrate!"

Su Yan waved his hand, "Don't, don't, that's too wasteful. Eating this is fine. Oh right, never mind, I'm going to take a shower first, my hair is too itchy."

Su's Mom smiled, her eyes crinkling, "Go ahead, son." After saying that, she patted her son's butt, "You really are my good son. I knew my son would definitely amount to something! Look, look! Hehe, not being favored before was because those leaders were blind. See, the leaders from Jingcheng are different, right? They have such good judgment, they saw my son's work ability at a glance. Xiao Yan, work hard in the future."

Su Yan closed the bathroom door, "I know, I know."

Su's Dad also found it funny, "Look how happy you are, you old woman."

Su's Mom rolled her eyes, "My son has soared to the sky, can't I be happy? Oh right, should we treat Secretary Dong to a meal? Uh, forget it, we can't afford to invite someone of his status." After muttering to herself for a while, Su's Mom remembered something else and suddenly smiled triumphantly, "Hmph, you eat quickly. Remember to heat up the food for our son after he finishes showering. I'm going to make a few calls to relatives and tell them the good news. Oh right, and the Zhang family who set up a blind date with our son last time, didn't their daughter look down on our Xiao Yan? Disgusted that Xiao Yan was useless? They're blind! Just wait! I'll make sure to infuriate them to death on the phone!"

Su's Dad said, "Harmony is precious, don't make trouble."

Su's Mom said, "Their daughter pointed at our son's nose and lectured him, what harmony are you talking about!" (To be continued…)
