Breaking bricks with one hand
Performer Dong Xuebin of China Merchants Group
As soon as the host Su Jia finished speaking, there was a burst of noisy discussion below, nothing else. This performance was too abrupt, and the general public might not be able to hear anything, but everyone here is a county official. The worst-case scenario is that the staff who have been with the leaders all year round have a keen sense of politics. Most of them were stunned when they heard that Dong Xuebin was going to perform, and he was performing a one-handed brick splitting on behalf of the China Merchants Group. After a while. Many people frowned in unison. Of course, there were also some cadres from the Public Security Bureau and people from other departments who were applauding and looking forward to Dong Xuebin's appearance.
Bang bang bang, applause rang out sparsely.
However, Dong Xuebin sat there with a sullen face, motionless.
Xie Huilan still had a smile on her face, but after Su Jia finished saying the name of the performer, her eyebrows tightened slightly and she looked sideways at Yao Yi, director of the county government office in the back row. "Cracking bricks with one hand?" Xiaodong, what program is in the newspaper? I do not know how? ". Yao Yi whispered: "I don't know, it wasn't there when I looked at the performance list the day before yesterday. . .
Xiang Daofa frowned and whispered a few words to Chen Tongbing, the director of the Propaganda Department next to him.
At this time, no one appeared for a long time. Many people turned around and looked for Dong Xuebin in the venue. Several leaders such as Xie Huilan and Xiang Daofa also looked over, and then Dong Xuebin with a gloomy expression came into everyone's sight. Many people haven't figured it out yet, but leaders such as Xie Huilan, Xiang Daofa and Huang Li immediately understood that this program was not signed by Dong Xuebin. He was not prepared at all!
A person in charge of the party backstage also saw Dong Xuebin's expression. He was shocked and immediately called someone. He said angrily, "What did you do! What happened to Director Dong's program?" The staff was also puzzled. "It was indeed just reported last night." . .
"Who reported it? Why didn't Director Dong even know?"
, "It was reported by the China Merchants Bureau. I thought...
The person in charge said angrily, "You didn't call to confirm? Huh? You didn't take a look at what the show was? Just go up the list when you put it on the list? Do you have any brains or not?" The man said with a sad face: , "At the level of Director Dong, how can I have the nerve to let him try out the show? What do you think we should do now?...
The person in charge walked around in circles several times with his hands behind his back, sweating, and finally gritted his teeth. He ordered: "Play music! Move bricks!...
, "But...", "Go quickly!... Now he can only hope that Dong Xuebin can also make things right."
, "Hey... Bu Ren, hurry up and do it."
The person in charge also knew that he was not to blame. Generally, the programs submitted by the department will not be rehearsed together. But it is still necessary to review the program. Otherwise, if there is a joke on the show, or if there is some too boring program, it will be stuck. But the one reported by the China Merchants Bureau is Dong Xuebin. And just the day before the party, not to mention whether there was time to confirm the program, just talking about Dong Xuebin's identity, it was not easy for them to call the leaders to come here to try out the program. Besides, there was no need to try.
But something went wrong now!
Dong Xuebin actually didn’t know he had a show when the party started!
The identity of Director Dong is there, no matter how confused he is, he cannot forget the program he signed up for, and as the top leader of the Investment Promotion Bureau, he cannot make fun of his own future. This party can go to the [Secretary] and the county leaders. Very important. He even ordered that he be arrested as a political task, so many people could see through Dong Xuebin's expression that this guy had been tricked!
Qin Yong said anxiously: "Is it Meng Xianglin?...
, "Who else could it be besides him?" Dong Xuebin took a breath, and his heart was filled with anger.
Meng Xianglin, the former director of the China Merchants Bureau, was also the one who was treated for cerebral congestion by Dong Xuebin in the elevator accident, and later had to declare his illness. Meng Xianglin always believed that the elevator accident was caused by his own manipulation, but the investigation by the Public Security Bureau did not say so. It was determined that he was seriously ill and had lost his official career. There must be a lot of hatred for myself in my heart. Now that I have retreated, I don't have to worry about anything anymore. Before I left, I secretly reported my name and program and prepared to laugh at myself.
That's for sure.
This old bastard!
The music accompaniment on the stage has started to sound, which is very intense, but the most important actor Dong Xuebin is still sitting underneath.
Not everyone understood that Dong Xuebin had been tricked. Many people thought that Dong Xuebin was still in the background. Some applauded and cheered, and some were surprised that they hadn't seen anyone on stage yet.
Qin Yong was also anxious for him, "Why don't you go up first?" A veteran cadre from the Cultural Bureau next to him also said, "Isn't it just splitting bricks with one hand? Let me see." But when several staff members were holding five bricks stacked together, When the bricks were placed in the center of the stage, the old comrade from the Cultural Affairs Bureau quickly shut up. He originally wanted to say that splitting bricks was nothing, but when he saw that there were five bricks, they were still stacked on top of each other. I knew this was a bit nonsense. No matter what, it would be impossible to split it. The person who cheated on Dong Xuebin was worthy of his grandson.
Many people's eyes fell on Dong Xuebin.
superior? Breaking bricks with one hand
Dong Xuebin saw very clearly that splitting bricks is easy, and it doesn’t necessarily have to be five pieces at a time. But the problem is that he can’t split this brick at all. It’s not a matter of whether it can be split. This itself is impossible. , why? Comrades from the cultural troupe performed songs and dances, comrades from the Environmental Sanitation Bureau performed skits advocating protecting the environment and not littering, criminal policemen from the Public Security Bureau performed martial arts and hard qigong, and comrades from the Cultural Bureau performed painting and calligraphy. Which department does the program? , Okay. Now that I’m here at the China Merchants Bureau, I’m going to go up and chop bricks with my big arms. I can’t afford to throw this person away!
Besides, Dong Xuebin will no longer hold the position of the Public Security Bureau from today. Xie Huilan also told herself on the phone during the day that she can no longer bring the Public Security Bureau’s work style of killing and killing to the China Merchants Bureau. Dong Xuebin Need to change your image. In order to conform to the image of the investment promotion department, this is something that must be done, not to mention that he is the head of the investment promotion bureau, a leader, and he is blushing and trying to get lucky? Hey hey? If you really have to break the bricks, then people will laugh!
So he can't go up!
But in the current situation, all the leaders and everyone are waiting for me. If you don’t succeed, it won’t work!
Go up and pick up the microphone and say something wrong with the announcement. You don't have this program? But all the cadres in the county are here, and not everyone understands that they have been tricked, if they really say so. It is tantamount to letting everyone's pigeons go. Dong Xuebin's image will definitely be greatly damaged, and the county leaders can't justify it. They asked the secretary and county leaders to prepare a program for each department. This program If it is withdrawn, there will be no other programs in China Merchants Bureau. All departments participated but only Dong Xuebin’s China Merchants Bureau was an exception? This is even worse.
This didn't work, and that didn't work either. Dong Xuebin was suddenly forced into an extremely embarrassing situation.
Xie Huilan, who was in the front row, naturally saw things clearly. But she didn't say anything. She squinted her eyes and continued to communicate with the leaders around her with a smile as if she was not affected.
It's not that Xie Huilan didn't help him, but she couldn't help him at this time.
In the officialdom, there are many such sudden events, and it is impossible for everything to develop according to everyone's expectations and plans. Therefore, a person's ability to respond to emergencies is also a basic quality and an essential quality for an official, as is the case now. Dong Xuebin can only handle it by himself.
Deputy County Magistrate Geng Yuchao looked back at Dong Xuebin. This Xie Department official had no contact with Dong Xuebin. He actually didn't understand why County Magistrate Xie used him so highly. Now that he saw Dong Xuebin in trouble, he became interested. Well, let's see what Dong Xuebin is capable of. I want to see how he can resolve the situation in front of him. Break bricks? Loss of face! Cancel the show? The impact is even worse!
Anyway, Geng Yuchao didn't think of any way to get the best of both worlds.
Huang Li, Liang Chengpeng, Qin Yong, Hu Silian, and some cadres who were more concerned about Dong Xuebin did not think of any idea to get the best of both worlds. No matter what Dong Xuebin does, he will probably make a fool of himself today. It's just a matter of severity or severity.
Lu Dafa, who was sitting in the second to last row, looked at Dong Xuebin with a gloating smile on his face.
Chen Tongbing, director of the Propaganda Department, and Liao Yanshan, director of the County Party Committee Office. Director of the Education Bureau Yu Zhengzhi, Executive Deputy Director of the Public Security Bureau Hu Yiguo, Deputy Director Zhao Jinsong, etc., etc., and some people who were not close to Dong Xuebin also looked at him with smiles. Look at his jokes.
Qin Yong urged: "Brother Dong? Brother Dong?"
Dong Xuebin said nothing.
The host Su Jia was also in a hurry. When she saw someone winking at him backstage, she understood and walked onto the stage to announce the next program directly. There is nothing she can do about it, but if she really jumps over Dong Xuebin, Dong Xuebin's situation will be even worse. Others will think he is irresponsible. When he arrived, he pretended not to be there and refused to play.
Qin Yong pushed him, "Brother Dong!"
at this time. Dong Xuebin suddenly took a deep breath, looked around, at the main stage, and in the direction of the county leaders. As soon as he pressed the armrest of the chair, he stood up, straightened his collar, and got out of the auditorium. In the aisle, he strode towards the main stage under the gaze of many people.
When Su Jia saw Dong Xuebin coming, she put back her words.
Dong Xuebin came on stage, and his face seemed to change in an instant. He said with a smile: "Haha, I'm sorry to keep everyone waiting. I'm breaking bricks with one hand. I was just lucky enough to prepare."
The moment he took the stage, Dong Xuebin actually thought of a way to get the best of both worlds!
