Chapter 570: Should I snatch it?! (1/2)
Before noon.
The sun is shining brightly. Many Guang Ming Subdistrict Office staffs were on their way to the cafeteria. They did not notice Dong Xuebing had just entered.
“This is going to be interesting.”
“What happened? Did something happen?”
“Didn’t you hear about it? Ping An Subdistrict had almost screwed up their inspection.”
“Really? Tell me what happened. How did they mess up the inspection?”
“Do you remember the missing elderly from the nursing month six months ago? The family had gone to the nursing home to create problems again.”
“Huh? They went there during the inspection?!”
“That’s right. I heard it was chaotic, and one of Ping An Subdistrict Office’s staff had knocked the inspection team leader down. His jade pendant, worth over a million RMB, was shattered.”
“Hahaha… Serve them right.”
“I don’t think they will get the nomination now.”
“Lower down your volume. Don’t let others know about this.”
Both Subdistricts are adjacent, and Guang Ming Subdistrict’s staffs are the first ones to know about this. They are boasting and laughing at them.
Dong Xuebing overheard them and smiled. Zhou Yanru should have only told him a small portion of the grudges between both Subdistricts, and they should have more clashes. If not, Guang Ming Subdistrict Office’s staff should not be so happy. He had set this up to create some problems for Chu Qinghua, but the result was more than he expected. Not only did he help Su Xiaochun and her family get justice, but he also got Chu Qinghhua into trouble. It will be hard for them to pass the inspection as they had offended the inspection Team Leader Cheng Yandong.
Cafeteria.
It is Saturday today, but most of the staff are working.
“Director.”
“Director Dong.”
Everyone greeted Dong Xuebing.
Dong Xuebing nodded and got his food. He sat by the windows and ate slowly.
“Oh, you are here.” Zhou Yanru walks over with her food. “Can I join you?”
Dong Xuebing gestured to her and smiled. “Sister Zhou, you have a small appetite. How can you be full with so little food?”
Zhou Yanru sat down and laughed. “I had gained some weight recently, and my daughter kept telling me I am fat. It’s time for me to go on a diet.” They chatted for a while, and she suddenly said. “Director, Ping An Subdistrict Office….”
“I heard about it.” Dong Xuebing stopped smiling as many staffs were around. He cannot show his joy, as the District Government wants Ping An Subdistrict to get the nomination. “This is a lesson for us too. I will meet Secretary Qu later, and you will get some staff to inspect our neighborhoods to assist him in settling all existing disputes between the residents and our nursing homes.”
Zhou Yanru nodded.
“Oh….” Dong Xuebing asked. “Is this the only inspection for our province?”
“I think so.” Zhou Yanru replied. “There are around ten nominations, and the inspection team had inspected five of them. Ping An Subdistrict is the sixth.”
“How many will be selected?”
“Based on previous years, around four nominees from our Province will be selected. But they still have to go through the Central Government’s Leaders’ selection. Two units from our Province had made it to the Role Model Unit’s next round in the previous two years, and only one was nominated three years ago.” Zhou Yanru explained. Things are not looking good for Ping An subdistrict, but they might still get through the first round.
“Oh…” Dong Xuebing thought for a while and asked. “Can a unit who had not applied for this award be nominated?”
Zhou Yanru paused for a second. “I don’t think so. The applications were submitted a few months ago.”
“What if there are not enough nominees?”
“That might be possible.” Zhou Yanru recalled. “I remember the inspection team had only selected three units out of nine nominations the year before because of some problems at a senior activity center. The inspection for that year was very strict. The inspection team picked a neighborhood committee, which was not one of the nominations, as the fourth unit.”
Dong Xuebing blinked. “So, it is possible.”
