Chapter 71 – Amazing Xiao Dong! (1/2)

Next day. Tuesday.

Today was the most important day for Dong Xuebing. The moment he woke up, he was feeling very nervous. He climbed out of his bed and took a few deep breaths. He had done everything he could. There’s no point being nervous now. Dong Xuebing stopped himself from thinking about the outcome of the Party Committee Meeting. He slapped himself lightly on his forehead to calm himself down before preparing himself for work.

At the entrance of the Western District Branch Bureau, Dong Xuebing saw Guo Shunjie and a woman.

“Didn’t I tell you not to look for me at my workplace? What do you want?”

“You think I am willing to come here? You forgot your phone!”

“Ok, ok! Hurry up and leave!”

Guo Shunjie grabbed his phone from that woman impatiently and kept it in his pocket. He then waved the woman away. This woman was Guo Shunjie’s wife. She was 30 years’ old when she got Vitiligo. Her face and neck have patches of white skin. This was why Guo Shunjie had never mentioned his wife at work. He was also afraid of his wife coming to his workplace. He felt it was embarrassing. But when Guo Shunjie looks around to see if any of his co-workers had seen his wife, he spotted Dong Xuebing crossing the road and walk past him.

Guo Shunjie pulled a long face and said. “You are early today!”

“Not as early as you!” Dong Xuebing’s hatred for him deepens after seeing how Guo Shunjie treated his wife.

“Do you know? The Party Committee Meeting today will be discussing who will be promoted to be the Deputy Chief of the General Affairs Department.” Guo Shunjie stared at Dong Xuebing coldly. “Young man, I have told you before that I will be a leader within one year. I had offered to groom you as my trusted aide. But you are the one who rejected my kind offer. Are you regretting now? It’s too late! Once the order is passed down, you will be dead! I will make sure you will regret it!”

Dong Xuebing glanced at him. “You are so sure that you will be promoted?”

Guo Shunjie arrogantly replied: “Haha, you think Guo Panwei will win me? Dream on!”

Dong Xuebing clenched his fist. He must not let Guo Shunjie be promoted. If not, he will not be able to carry on working here.

General Affairs Office. People start arriving at work.

Dong Xuebing could feel the mood in the office was different. He could feel the tension.

There seems to be something happening. Guo Panwei entered the office, and he was obviously in a bad mood. He did not argue with Guo Shunjie like the previous few days. He just dropped his briefcase at his desk and went upstairs, to the Political Section Chief Pang Bin’s office. Guo Shunjie took a glance at him confidently and then left for Political Commissar Zhou Guoan’s office.

Political Commissar office.

This office was dim. The thick curtains had blocked the sunlight from entering the room.

Guo Shunjie stood cautiously by the side: “Uncle Zhou, later during the meeting……”

The scheming looking Zhou Guoan narrowed his eyes and interrupted him. “Shunjie, I have promised your father I will try my best to help you. Don’t worry. There will not be any problems. You should go back to work, and during this period, you should not be coming to my office. Do you understand?” Government officials seldom claim that things will surely be done. They will always keep a leeway for themselves. Since Political Commissar Zhou said there will not be any problems, then it means he was 100% confident of completing this task.

After hearing this, Guo Shunjie felt assured and thanked him excitedly. “Thank you. Uncle Zhou. I will give you a thank you gift after this matter is over.”

Zhou Guoan did not like the way Guo Shunjie put his words. It was too direct. He frowned and wave him off.

After leaving the office, Guo Shunjie was feeling great. He walks back with his back straight and chests out.

The other side of the building.

Dong Xuebing had received a call from Xu Yan, asking him to go to her office.

There was another man in Deputy Branch Bureau Chief Xu Yan’s office. That man was about Xu Yan’s age and had big eyes. There were a few streaks of white hair by his sides, and he looks very alert.

Dong Xuebing had seen this man before. He was the Branch Bureau’s Party Committee Member, Commission for Discipline Inspection Secretary Song Shoujie. He was close to Xu Yan.

“Chief Xu, Secretary Song.”
