Chapter 348 – The Secretary candidate is confirmed! (1/2)

Lui Dafa is the biggest obstacle in front of Dong Xuebing, and even someone without much political wisdom can see it, let alone others. For example, Deputy Chief Sun Shuli, Pu Yang, Guo Junbao, the Section Chiefs of Business Section Offices, etc. Everyone knows that if Chief Dong cannot get rid of Lui Dafa, he cannot proceed with his work. He will give everyone in the agency and the County’s leaders the impression that he is useless. Most likely, he will not last long in his position, let alone showing outstanding results.

The decision to reduce Lui Dafa’s authority is ruthless.

But that is not enough to turn the tides in Dong Xuebing’s favor.

If Dong Xuebing doesn’t make another move, people might think Lui Dafa is in control of the agency. Chief Lui had been very scheming, and this is not impossible. After what happened in the morning, many staff can tell Lui Dafa had started his retaliation against Dong Xuebing.

But other than Office Director Luo Haiting is on Dong Xuebing’s side, the rest had not made any moves. They are sitting on the fence, and it’s not the right time to choose a side. Even with Mayor Xie getting more powerful, Yan Tai County is still under Xiang Daofa’s control. They had also heard rumors that Chief Dong had offended Xiang Daofa. Who knows how long Dong Xuebing can remain as the Chief of the Investment Promotion Agency? That’s why the rest of the leaders are waiting for the outcome from Dong Xuebing’s clash with Lui Dafa.

If Dong Xuebing can suppress Lui Dafa, the rest of the leaders will support him. But if Dong Xuebing cannot do anything to Lui Dafa, they will wonder how long this young Chief Dong can last within the agency.

A storm is brewing within the agency.

It’s the first day of work after the Lunar New Year, and the situation within the agency had changed.

Pu Yang, Guo Junbao, and the other offsite Office Directors did not return to their offsite offices. They remained in their offices within the agency because they still had not received this year’s tasks. More importantly, they want to see how capable Chief Dong is. Can he suppress that cunning old fox, Lui Dafa? Many of the leaders are unhappy with Dong Xuebing, as he is very young and is transferred in by the County Government. These are the difficulties faced by Dong Xuebing. He is too young and inexperienced.

Suppose it is someone in his forties and had experience in Investment Promotion Agency. In that case, the situation within the agency will be different.

Towards Chief Dong, no one in the agency is supporting him wholeheartedly.

It’s not uncommon for the Deputy Chief to gain control of the department from the Chief with the higher-ups’ support.

That’s why the struggle between Dong Xuebing and Lui Dafa will determine many factors. Everyone within the agency is watching them.

……

4 pm.

Dong Xuebing went for his rounds on the various departments. He could feel the weird atmosphere within the agency. Back in his office, Dong Xuebing frowned and poured a cup of tea for himself. He must make his next move against Lui Dafa carefully. If he is not careful, he backfires and hurts himself instead.

But Dong Xuebing is not afraid of challenges. Since young, he had not been afraid of anyone.

Dong Xuebing made a call and asked Luo Haiting to go to his office.

“Sister Luo.” Dong Xuebing needs a breakthrough, but he is not very clear about the situation within the agency. “Can you tell me more about the agency within the agency?”

Luo Haiting blinked and asked cautiously. “Which area do you want to know?”

Dong Xuebing laughed. “Anything. It’s up to you.”

Luo Haiting knows what Dong Xuebing means by anything. She knows Dong Xuebing wants to more know about Lui Dafa, and he is facing some difficulties. “Then… let me talk about the leaders within the agency. Chief Sun is an expert in getting investments. He is very capable and is not within the agency most of the time. He is always outstation visiting the investors and is hardworking. But… but he does not like to get involved in the matters within the agency. Chief Lui…” Luo Haiting lowered her voice. “is clean and does not have any issues with his personal lifestyle.”

Dong Xuebing looks at Luo Haiting. “Haha… our government needs officials who are clean.”

Luo Haiting paused for a while and continued. “Chief Lui finances should have no problems.”

This is what Dong Xuebing wants to know, and Luo Haiting got the hint.
