A blink of an eye.
It's past ten o'clock.
In the secretary's office, before his wife came back, Dong Xuebin and Gao Jie from the Propaganda Department continued to chat while ordering tea and eating fruit.
"Are you from the capital city?" Gao Jie said with a smile.
"Well, can you hear it?" Dong Xuebin nodded.
"I can tell that you have a stronger accent than Secretary Xie. Well, I'd like to ask, where are you employed?" As they became familiar with the conversation, or seeing that Dong Xuebin was easier to talk to, Gao Jie also asked more about her. I guess it's not just her. , many people are very curious about the husband of the Municipal Party Committee Secretary.
Dong Xuebin smiled and said, "He is also a civil servant in Beijing."
Gao Jie looked at him and said, "I see you are the leader."
Dong Xuebin shook his hand, "I am not as good as my lover, and you are the first to say that about me. Haha, I am not a leader."
Not a leader
Isn’t the level high
Gao Jie blinked and said nothing more.
Dong Xuebin holds a false position, and indeed does not have a leadership position, and everyone who knows Dong Xuebin knows that this guy does not look like a leader at all, let alone that kind of magnanimity and grace. Even if he occasionally shows some leadership posture, it is probably Dong Xuebin who is just pretending. It's bluffing, just like now, because his status requires it, so he has to be a little bit more energetic, in order not to lose face to his wife. Dong Xuebin is not a person who likes to be inflated. Even if he sometimes gets a little inflated after being promoted, he can take it back. This is Dong Xuebin's attitude towards life. It doesn't matter whether he is poor, rich or at a high level. Regardless of whether the level is low, he still lives how he should live, how he should do things, and how he should do things. He believes that this has nothing to do with the level, but only has to do with the mentality.
If you have money, do you have to go to a Western restaurant every day
When your level is high, do you have to hold your dignity every day
Who stipulated it? Dong Xuebin doesn't care about this or that. People who come from the bottom of the imperial city seem to be born with a bastard spirit in their bones. This is why people in the capital love to brag and brag. What do you say? Why? I won’t do that just yet! I say what I say, I do my thing, my brother wears slippers and pajamas and walks into the mall with his head held high, do you care about me
Dong Xuebin is this kind of person. At certain times, he doesn't care much about the opinions of some irrelevant people. He lives a comfortable life.
The pot of tea is almost finished.
Another few minutes passed.
Dong Xuebin looked at his watch and couldn't help but stand up with the tea cup in hand. He walked to the window and looked down. Below was the courtyard. He could see that some department staff had raised banners to welcome the provincial leaders, and there were more than 20 men and women. Everyone was waiting there. Xie Huilan and several city leaders were also standing near the door against the sun, looking ahead. It seemed that the leaders had not come yet, and they had obviously been waiting for nearly an hour. Seeing this, Dong Xuebin couldn't help but frowned, feeling a little scolded in his heart. He felt sorry for Huilan's health. His wife had just given birth not long ago. Even though he was tossing her last night, Dong Xuebin didn't dare to go too far, just for fear of hurting her. But now Huilan has been standing outside for most of the day. Seeing the sun getting bigger and bigger, it's strange that Dong Xuebin doesn't feel distressed.
"Not here yet?" Dong Xuebin looked unhappy.
Gao Jie was startled, "The leader didn't come? He should have arrived."
Dong Xuebin turned around and said, "What time are you talking about?"
Gao Jie said: "The information received by the Propaganda Department was around nine o'clock. It couldn't be ten or twenty minutes late. Oh, it's already after ten o'clock."
"Did you notify me in advance?"
"Well, it was notified yesterday, and the province also notified it this morning. The call was made to the city, so there should be no mistake." Gao Jie also leaned over and took a look under the window. Sure enough, the provincial leader has not arrived yet. , reporters and cameras from their TV station were also waiting aside, so he paused and said Gao Jie: "Maybe the provincial leaders went to other places on the way. Maybe they went for an unannounced inspection, but they informed me at nine o'clock... If they don't come, someone should call Tell me, we can’t let Secretary Xie and the city leaders wait like this?”
This matter is more difficult to deal with. There is no way. Who is the provincial leader? The notice said it is nine o'clock, but being late is always the prerogative of the leader. Even if he suddenly stops coming, the people below have nothing to do, and it is not possible. Question, if you call to inquire about the situation, doesn’t that mean you are urging the provincial leaders? It's definitely not possible, but the local leaders have to take their people back first. If the leader's back steps come as soon as they step out, the leaders will definitely think that there is something wrong with the attitude of the local cadres. It's not right anyway, and the only way is to wait there. What? Only when the leader comes or is notified is it enough - this is what Xie Huilan and other city leaders are doing now.
Deputy Governor Jia
Don’t give us a ticket!
Now they are leaving Huilan and the others here?
Dong Xuebin was already a little angry. He remembered what Huilan said in the morning, "Today's inspection must have something to do", and his heart sank slightly.
Is this not giving my wife face
Deliberately suppressing Huilan's prestige
Numb, who are you
Dong Xuebin knows that things are not that simple. This level of struggle and thinking is not something Dong Xuebin can understand or figure out. He does not have the political wisdom and does not even bother to figure out the intentions of those leaders. He only follows his own ideas. Understand, and what Dong Xuebin understands now is, oh, isn't it because the person you like, Deputy Governor Jia, didn't come over to become the municipal party secretary, so you hate my wife? Trouble everywhere? I didn’t recruit you or mess with you, so you’re going to make things difficult for us? You really think the world has to revolve around you!
His ideas have always been simple!
He thinks things are just that simple!
What is the intention, the other party's strategy, what is the purpose to achieve, what is the meaning of speaking and doing things, nonsense, is it very complicated? In fact, it's not complicated at all. It's useless to think so much. In Dong Xuebin's opinion, he just needs to understand it clearly. You don't have a good look on my wife? Then don’t even think about me giving you a good look! It's a mule or a horse, let's pull it out and run around! Who is afraid of whom?
five minutes…
ten minutes…
It can be seen that the cadres and civil servants in the compound are a little impatient to wait. Some of the older ones started to sweat all over their bodies and started to wheeze. However, no one returned to the office building. After all, they were coming. He is a provincial leader, and the heads of relevant departments must be present during the inspection. Even if they are too tired to stand, everyone has to endure and wait.
Xie Huilan was also standing there.
The man next to him seemed to be the mayor of Xiaxing City. He looked a little bald from the back. He was a middle-aged man. The shirt on his back was also wet.
Many of the city's main leaders were present.
How many jobs are there in a city every day? That's a terrifying amount. Just the number of documents sent to a certain city leader every day is estimated to be no less than dozens. They need to be read, signed, and discussed. After more than an hour of delay, they have piled up. Many things have happened. Several city leaders and department cadres are on the phone. They can't work directly and can only work through the phone. Some urgent matters must be dealt with and cannot be delayed.
Finally, after everyone waited for a full hour and a half, someone at the door said something loudly to the inside, and then, four or five Audis slowly drove in. It was said to be one and a half hours, but in fact everyone had been waiting for almost two hours, because the provincial government announced that it was after nine o'clock, and everyone came out earlier, so it was impossible to come out on time.
People from Xiaxing City immediately stepped forward to greet him.
Some people stood for so long that they walked with a limp.
The car stopped, and provincial cadres and staff got out of the car one after another.
The last one to come out was a very fat middle-aged man with a big belly, about 1.6 meters tall, and almost no hair.
"Prefect Jia."
"Prefect Jia, Director Zhou."
“Provincial leaders are welcome to come to Xiaxing City to inspect the work.”
Banners were also put up, and Xie Huilan led people up to welcome them.
The chubby middle-aged man seems to be Vice-Governor Jia. He is not a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Committee and is only a low-ranking Vice-Governor, but his actual power is not small.
Dong Xuebin upstairs couldn't quite hear what was said below, so he opened the window wider.
Gao Jie still had eyes, and she had almost communicated with the secretary's husband today. She felt that she should be able to leave some impression on the other party, so she gave up. Seeing Dong Xuebin staring down intently, Gao Jie told him He said goodbye, closed the door and left.
In the courtyard.
People from the province came out.
There were quite a few people here, a dozen or so, including secretaries and staff. There were not many provincial cadres, and they could be counted on one hand.
Eleven o'clock.
It’s almost lunch break.
But Vice Governor Jia and several other provincial cadres were obviously not embarrassed at all, and they did not have the consciousness to let the comrades from Xiaxing City wait for two hours. After they got off the bus, they perfunctorily followed Xie Huilan and some other local officials. The leader shook hands and didn't even mention why they were late, as if it was a matter of course, and as if he deliberately made them wait, which was very reasonable.
A few brief exchanges were made.
Deputy Governor Jia rushed into the group, but did not speak to Xie Huilan and the others. Instead, he looked at the person beside him and said, "Look here first."
Director Zhou nodded, "Okay."
They walked inside, and a group of people behind them quickly followed.
Together, the teams on both sides amounted to about fifty people, and the momentum was huge.
After that, Deputy Governor Jia basically communicated with Director Zhou and the few cadres who came with them, and did not pay any attention to the comrades in Xiaxing City.
Xie Huilan had a faint smile on her eyes, her expression unchanged.
The same goes for the mayor. Wherever Deputy Governor Jia and the others go, he and Xie Huilan follow them.
Some other leaders of Xiaxing City were a little uneasy. They looked at each other and whispered a few words in low voices. They knew that Deputy Governor Jia might have opinions about their Xiaxing City, otherwise they would not This attitude, alas, may lead to scolding during this inspection, so everyone is mentally prepared.
