Chapter 50 – Opportunity! (2/2)

Guo Panwei was really heartless. He immediately replied: “I’m sorry Chief Zhou. I need to deliver an urgent document.” Guo Panwei had given Chief Zhou lots of gifts over the past few years, and he was the closest to him in the office.

Chief Zhou frowned and looked at Guo Shunjie and the rest.

Guo Shunjie and Changjuan pretended not to hear anything and continued with their work.

Dong Xuebing was surprised by everybody’s reaction. If it was a month ago, when Zhou Changchun entered the office, he does not even need to say a word, and all of them will be crowding around him. But now, no one was willing to help him carry his stuff. Dong Xuebing also lowered his head and pretended to be busy with his work.

This is the government system. Once you are out of power, you are nothing.

Zhou Changchun’s face changed. He stared stare at Dong Xuebing and his former trusted aide, Guo Panwei. “Fine…… fine…… fine…...” He limped towards his room using the wall to support. No one went up to help him.

Guo Panwei, Changjuan and the rest looked at each other. Everyone knew what was in everyone’s mind.

Tap, tap, tap, tap……

The room’s door was opened. Zhou Changchun seems to be making a phone call.

“Hello, is this Chief Yan? I am Zhou Changchun.” Zhou Changchun purposely speaks loudly. Dong Xuebing and everyone outside could hear what he was saying clearly.

Guo Panwei and the rest were listening attentively. They wanted to know if Zhou Changchun was under investigations or not and if they were also implicated.

But everyone was shocked when they heard what Chief Zhou said. “Yesterday, you had asked me to recommend someone to be the deputy chief for the party committee to consider……. After serious considerations, I think that……” There was a pause of 2 seconds. “…… I think that Xiao Gao from the Political section is the most suitable. He is hardworking and meticulous in his work……. Yes. That’s right…. Yes…… I recommend Xiao Gao to replace me……. The ones from my office? Oh, they still need more experience…… That’s right……”

Everyone in the office was stunned.

What was happening? Why was Zhou Changchun recommending someone to take over his position?

Damn! That Bureau Chief Yan trusted Zhou Changchun so much? He needs Zhou Changchun to recommend someone for the party committee to discuss if that person was suitable for promotion?

No higher-ups in the bureau were unhappy with Zhou Changchun, and he was not involved in any investigations? Zhou Changchun was really retiring because of his illness?

“Ah……” Guo Panwei stood up from his chair. He was regretting. Based on his relationship with Zhou Changchun in the past, he stood the highest chance of being recommended. Even Dong Xuebing could not be compared to him. If only he went over and helped Zhou Changchun just now, and Zhou Changchun would surely recommend him. Zhou Changchun had called him to his room earlier was to discuss with him about the recommendation. He had wasted this opportunity.

“Why is it like this?” Guo Shunjie was also regretting. He thought it was the Bureau’s Party Committee that will decide who to take over this position. Zhou Changchun and Li Qing were not members of the committee and have no say in the recommendations. But who knows Chief Yan would ask Zhou Changchun to nominate someone. If he knew this would happen, he would go over to help Zhou Changchun, and Zhou Changchun might choose him. He would have higher chances to be promoted.

Guo Panwei and Guo Shunjie face turned black. The expressions of the rest of the people were different.

Some were regretting, some were watching the show, some couldn’t be bothered.

Only Dong Xuebing was different from others. He only regretted for a split second and immediately looks excited.

Opportunity.

This is an opportunity for me!

Dong Xuebing took in a deep breath: “Hurry and reverse the time.”

BACK!
