Chapter 227 – Increased of reputation (2/2)

Ring… ring… ring… the phone rang for a while before it was picked up.

“Hello?” Xie Huilan’s sexy voice answered.

“Hello, Mayor Xie. I’m Xiao Dong from Public Security.”

“Haha… Chief Dong. What is it?”

Dong Xuebing rubbed his nose. “I want to report to you on my work progress. Will you be free in the afternoon?”

Xie Huilan laughed. “I have a meeting in the afternoon. How about tomorrow?”

Dong Xuebing replied. “Sure. I will call you tomorrow.”

“No need. I will get my secretary to call you. Ok?” After Xie Huilan said this, she paused. “Oh, I forgot I still don’t have a secretary. The Office Director had recommended a few candidates, but I find them not suitable. Are you familiar with the people in the County Government? The candidate does not need to be from the Secretary department. Let me know if you have any recommendations. It must be a female, must not be too old, and must be smart.”

Dong Xuebing thought to himself. The secretary of the leader is an important position, let alone the secretary to the Mayor. Everyone will be fighting for this position. In the past, Dong Xuebing felt the role of a secretary is only a messenger. But now, he doesn’t think so. If you want to advance rapidly in government service, becoming a secretary is one of the better options. You can learn the work of a leader and how a leader should act and gain their trust after a few years. Soon, you will be deployed to the grassroots and become a district head or district’s Party Secretary!

Xie Huilan wants me to recommend someone for this crucial role? This is her trust in me.

Dong Xuebing thought for a while. He is afraid that recommending the wrong person will bring trouble for Sister Xie. Furthermore, he does not know a lot of people in the County Government. The County’s Party Secretary Xiang Daofa was the former Mayor, and everyone in the Government might be his people. No wonder Sister Xie couldn’t make up her mind. First, she is too young, and having an older secretary will make her feel uncomfortable. Moreover, Sister Xie is a female, and a male secretary will invite gossips. This secretary candidate is too…

Eh?!

Wait a minute!

Female, not too old, must be smart?

A woman suddenly appears in Dong Xuebing’s head.

“Mayor Xie, what do you think about our Bureau’s former Office Director, Hu Silian?”

“Hu Silian? I remembered she was just removed from her position.”

“Yes. The mistake made by the Command Center had nothing to do with her, and she was only the scapegoat to shoulder the blame. Director Hu has a clean background and is familiar with Yan Tai County. She is also good with interpersonal relationships and is a smooth talker. She is not old and has a nice character. I think she fits your requirements.” Dong Xuebing wants to help Xie Huilan to find a good secretary and also help Hu Silian.

Xie Huilan paused for a while and said. “Ok. I will consider your suggestion.”

Dong Xuebing replied. “Err… ok. Sorry to disturb you. I will hang up now?”

“……” Xie Huilan kept quiet.

“Mayor Xie?”

“Xiao Dong, I don’t wish to see another incident like yesterday afternoon. I don’t care how good you can fight, how much you care for the safety of the people, you must remember that there are a lot of people that care for you. If you dare to do such things again in the future, I will remove you from your position.” Xie Huilan’s tone was cold, but Dong Xuebing could feel she cares for him. There were too many people around yesterday, and she must have kept these words to herself. When she gave the orders for the Armed Police to storm the building, it should also because she wants to rescue him.

Dong Xuebing felt warm in his heart. “Yes… I understand.”

“Good.”

“Errr… Is it convenient for you to talk now?”

“Yes. What is it?”

Dong Xuebing cleared his throat. “Errr… I want to see you.”

Xie Huilan smiled and replied. “Didn’t you see me yesterday? You even threw me into the car.”

Dong Xuebing heard this and quickly explained. “Ah… I was forced by the situation. I did it because I am afraid you might be hurt.”

“You are afraid I will be hurt, then I will not be afraid you will be injured?”

“Errr… let’s not talk about this. I promise I will take care of my safety in the future, ok?”

“You better keep to your words. You… once you get heated up, you don’t know what you are doing. But it is also because of this you jumped into the river to save me.”

“Why did you mention about that incident again? It’s all in the past, and let’s not talk about it.”

“Ok.”

“You should have a lot of work, right? I will hang up now?”

“……”

“Sister Xie?”

“Hehe… do you miss me?”

Dong Xuebing paused for a second and replied. “Yes.”

“How much?”

Dong Xuebing replied embarrassedly. “I…, I miss you badly.”

Xie Huilan giggled and was satisfied with his answer. “Alright. Let’s hang up.”

Dong Xuebing asked. “Did you miss me?”

“What do you think?”

“Huh? How would I know? That’s why I am asking you.”

“Hahaha… Bye.” The line was cut.

Dong Xuebing smiled to himself as he looks at his phone.
