Chapter 49 – Vying for the position of Deputy Chief! (2/2)

Seeing Dong Xuebing still sitting at his desk, Guo Shunjie’s face turns dark. “Did you not hear what I just said?” Guo Shunjie was 90% sure he would be promoted. Without Zhou Changchun around, he was no afraid of Dong Xuebing. After staying low for the past few days, he became arrogant again.

Dong Xuebing frowned and replied coldly. “No.”

Guo Shunjie was furious: “Fine…… fine……” He walked over to Dong Xuebing and said softly: “Wait until I become the Chief and you will get it. Just wait….”

Dong Xuebing replied: “Ya…. I’m waiting.”

Guo Shunjie: “Hmph!”

Noon.

During lunch, Tan Limei pouted and looked at Guo Shunjie and Guo Panwei who were sitting at their tables not far away. “Did you see it? They are not even promoted, and they are already acting as leaders. Even when Chief Zhou was not as commanding as them. Hmph! I want to see what they will do if they are not promoted.”

Dong Xuebing took a big bite off his bun: “That’s right. But there is no one else competing with them for the position. The next Deputy Chief of our office will surely be the surname Guo.”

Zhuang Zhi quickly shushed them: “Lower your voices. Don’t let others hear you.”

Tan Limei angrily said: “This is so unfair. Bing Zhi will be in trouble this time. No matter which one of them became our chief, they will be looking for trouble with Bing Zhi.”

Dong Xuebing waved his hand and sighed. “What else can I do?”

Dong Xuebing had analyzed the situation last night. The position of Deputy Chief of the General Affairs Office will definitely be out of reach for the 3 of them. He and Zhuang Zhi had only joined the office for less than 2 months. They were considered newbies. The Government sector focuses more on seniority than ability. Even if Dong Xuebing did one or two more outstanding performances, it was also useless. It was the same for Tan Limei. She had joined the State Security one year earlier than them. She was still considered too junior.

Old Yan had offended a leader from the City’s Bureau. His rank had been stagnant for so many years. Now, he was near his retirement age, and it was almost impossible for him to be promoted. At most, the agency will give him a promotion to Deputy Division Chief months before his retirement. As for Changjuan, she was senior enough to be promoted. But her character was her major flaw. The impression she gave others was too frivolous. The agency will surely not consider promoting her.

After looking at everyone in the office, the two Guos had the highest chance of getting promoted.

Guo Panwei was close to many leaders in the Bureau. If he put in some effect in getting their support, he stands a high chance to be promoted.

Guo Shunjie knew the District Political Commissar. If the District Political Commissar really wants to groom him, Guo Shunjie does not even need to do anything, and he will be promoted. Furthermore, Guo Shunjie looks more matured, and his chances are slightly higher than Guo Panwei.

No matter what, one of them will be the Deputy Chief.

After analyzing all the possibilities, Dong Xuebing became depressed. If he had 6 months or 1 year, he would qualify for the promotion too. But now, there was no point to try and vie for the promotion. Dong Xuebing only hope now was for the Bureau to transfer someone from another district over to be their Deputy Chief. It will be hell for him if any of the Guos gets promoted.

Damn!
