"Come on, let's have a drink to celebrate Xiao Bin's promotion to deputy director."
"Mm-hm, thank you, Aunt Xuan."
"Eat up. Try the Pork Belly Auntie stewed."
"Whew, it's really hot. Delicious, delicious."
"Then eat more. Here, try another piece of hairtail fish."
After dinner, Dong Xuebin let out a full belch and watched CCTV's Xinwen Lianbo with Qu Yunxuan on the sofa. He had rarely watched TV before. For one thing, his college dorm had not had the means for it; for another, his family had been poor back then, and all his thoughts during his breaks had been devoted to working and making money.
Where had he found the leisure to pay attention to national affairs? But now, Dong Xuebin was a leader, however minor. Naturally, his mindset had changed. He felt it was necessary to keep a closer eye on political current events, since that could only benefit his future development.
On TV, quite a few Central Leaders were discussing a proposed housing reform plan.
Qu Yunxuan smiled and said with feeling, "When will our Xiao Bin get on Xinwen Lianbo too?"
Dong Xuebin paused. "I'll work hard and try to make it happen soon."
"Auntie's telling you, don't aim too high while neglecting what's under your feet." Qu Yunxuan crossed her legs, but perhaps remembering that she was only wearing a very short silk slip dress today, she quickly drew her legs back together. Tilting her head, she pinched Dong Xuebin's nose. "In Auntie's eyes, becoming deputy director was already like a giant pie falling from the sky for you. You have to cherish it. First, sit firmly in your position. Don't rush to climb higher. Your foundation is too weak, and you lack both groundwork and seniority. You can't become fat in one bite, understand?"
