Chapter 88 – Aunt Xuan, what are you doing? (1/2)

Friday.

Dong Xuebing was still sleeping when his mother’s phone call woke him up. “Hello? Mum?”

“You are still sleeping? How are you doing recently? Are you use for your work? Did your leader pick on you?” Dong Xuebing’s mother was anxious about her son. Her son had finally started working and was afraid that he will get into trouble with his leaders.

Pick on me? I am the one picking on others now! Dong Xuebing yawned and rubbed his eyes. He sat up and looked at the time. “Everything is all fine. I had called you that day, but you are not in school. Hahaha, when are you coming back to Beijing? I have something to tell you. Are you coming back for New Year?”

“We have classes on New Year too. I have to wait until Lunar New year.” Dong Xuebing’s mother replied. “What good news do you have for me? You have a girlfriend?”

Dong Xuebing coughed. “Not yet. Errr….. I will tell you when you are back. It is only less than 2 months to Lunar New Year. I want to give you a surprise.” Dong Xuebing had been promoted to Deputy Chief and made some money. He wants to keep it from his mother and give her a surprise when she comes back. “Oh, do you still have money? I will remit some money to you later?”

“No need. I still have the money you sent me last time.”

“Huh? You haven’t finished using it? Didn’t I ask you to use it?”

“Stop talking nonsense. How can you spend all your money? Don’t spend all your salary!”

“I am only asking you to spend more money on yourself. Don’t keep scrimping.”

“Don’t worry about me. We have lodging and food here. We do not need to spend much. I will save money for you. You still need to get married in the future. Ok. The telephone charges are high, and I got to go back to class. Bye.” If the call were more than 1 minute, Dong Xuebing would be charged for the second minute. His mother did not wait for her son to say anything and hang up on the 59th second.

At work.

Dong Xuebing submitted the relocation proposal to Li Qing and Xu Yan. This proposal was very detailed. There were also pictures included in the proposal. Xu Yan was quite satisfied with this proposal and gave him another task. Dong Xuebing was not worried about having more work. In fact, he needs more work to prove his capabilities. He needs to show others that he was able to take on the role of Deputy Chief of the General Affairs Office. So, before the end of the day, Dong Xuebing completed the task given to him that day.

Dong Xuebing’s career was on track. He only needs more experience.

His finances were also sound. Money had been going into his account, and he had enough to buy his mother a house in her hometown.

Dong Xuebing had 3 goals in his life. Be a Government Official, make money, and get a wife. Now, his only regret was with his relationship.

That evening, Dong Xuebing decided to woo Aunt Xuan while on his way home. After alighting from the bus, he went to the supermarket nearby to buy lots of groceries. On his way back home, he called Qu Yunxuan. “Hello? Aunt Xuan? Have you reached home? I will cook dinner tonight?”
