The next day.
Tuesday morning.
The weather had warmed up, so Dong Xuebin changed into a short-sleeved shirt and headed out. Instead of going to the County Party Committee Compound, he drove straight to the County Investment Bureau.
Inside the Investment Bureau courtyard.
"County Chief Dong."
"County Chief Dong."
"Uh, good morning."
Three government offices shared this small courtyard.
People from the other offices recognized Dong Xuebin as well and greeted him one after another.
Thanks to all sorts of incidents, Dong Xuebin had earned himself a reputation as a jinx in Zhenshui County. Ordinary citizens were less familiar with him, but there were few people in government offices who did not know him: going to the capital to secure funding, falling from a building in the city, beating someone despite serious injuries, his medical skills, and so on.
Dong Xuebin greeted them as well.
Upstairs.
The second-floor office area.
As soon as Dong Xuebin came up, he found all four people from the Investment Bureau gathered inside. Led by Director Zheng Dayou, they seemed to be discussing something.

"County Chief Dong."
"You're here?"
Everyone immediately came over to greet him.
Dong Xuebin nodded. "What are you discussing?"
Zheng Dayou said, "We were talking about how to handle the Investment Conference."
"Mm." Dong Xuebin said, "I told you yesterday that if you had any suggestions, you could bring them to me. The main issue is how to spend the funding we receive. Old Zheng, you go first."
Zheng Dayou pondered for a moment. "I think... we should still buy vehicles."
Dong Xuebin looked at Cheng Yujie. "Sister Cheng, what about you?"
Hearing County Chief Dong address her so politely as Sister Cheng, Cheng Yujie felt somewhat flattered. She hurriedly said, "I also think buying vehicles would be good."
