Chapter 344 – First day of work! (1/2)
The second day of Lunar New Year…
The third day of Lunar New Year…
After a few days of celebration, the Government service returned to work.
Today is Dong Xuebing’s first day of work.
Dong Xuebing woke up early in the morning and stood in front of the mirror to check his dressing. He adjusted his collar several times and decided not to wear a tie. He will look too serious if he wears a tie. On his way out of the bathroom, he saw two cockroaches in a corner. He immediately stepped on them, picked up the dead roaches with toilet paper, and flushed them away.
Dong Xuebing is particular with roaches and went out to call the County Party Committee Quarters’ guardroom. He wants to get them to arrange pest control personnel to get rid of these pests. If these cockroaches are not killed, they might crawl all over him at night.
After hanging up, Dong Xuebing’s phone rang.
Dong Xuebing looked at the caller display and answered. “Sister Xie.”
Xie Huilan laughed. “Yes. I just finished washing up. What about you? Are you ready for your new role?”
“Yes. I am prepared to go all out!” Dong Xuebing replied energetically.
“Haha… it’s good to be motivated. But I still need to remind you. You can choose whether if you want to listen. It’s up to you.” Xie Huilan is sharing her experiences. “I know you had not done anything related to investment promotions, and you do not know anything about the work there. But you are the Head of that department, and you don’t need to do everything yourself. You don’t need to go out to find investors. It should be the opposite. Your task is the settle the internal affairs, control your people, set a direction, and let your staff do what they are supposed to do. This way, you can attract investments. If your staff does not even follow your orders, how are you going to get investments?”
Dong Xuebing listened attentively. “I will take note of this.”
“Haha… you better remember this. You had always been ignoring my advice.”
“No… I am serious.” Dong Xuebing replied. “I know I am inexperienced in the government service, and this is the first time I am the head of a department. With your advice, I know what I should do. Sister Xie, please guide me along if you see me doing something wrong.”
Xie Huilan laughed. “Don’t be too modest. Your violent way of doing things is not that bad too. You had joined the government service for a year and a half and can achieve good results. No one can say you are not capable. How many people are politically mature at your age? Even my father did not reach your level at your age.”
“Huh? How can you compare me with your father?”
“Just look for me if you face any problems. I might not be able to teach you, but we can discuss it.”
“Sure. I have something to discuss with you now.”
“… What is it?”
“Then what do you want to do?”
“Err… can I sleepover at your place tonight?”
“Haha… ok.”
“… really?”
“Of course. Haha… if you are promoted to Deputy Director now, not only I will let you stay at my place. I will even sleep with you.”
Dong Xuebing felt his heart racing. “Don’t worry. I will do a good job in Investment Promotion Agency!”
Xie Huilan smiled and replied. “Work hard. I am waiting for you on my bed.”
Dong Xuebing is afraid if he listens to Xie Huilan’s seductive words any longer, he will have no mood to go to work. He quickly says goodbye and hangs up. After confirming their wedding, their relationship improved a lot. During the past few days, they chatted on the phone once or twice a day. Of course, Dong Xuebing did not forget about Qu Yunxuan. He also calls and speaks to her every day. Dong Xuebing is going all out to get married to Xie Huilan and Qu Yunxuan. He must do a good job in the Investment Promotion Agency and get promoted!
Deputy Director!
