That afternoon.
Dong Xuebin's cell phone kept ringing.
"Old leader, I am Liu Dahai." Liu Dahai, director of the Huitian Township Police Station in Yantai County, said, "I heard that you are going to be promoted. Congratulations."
Dong Xuebin said: "Who said I was promoted? I just went to the party school for further study."
"Then I'll definitely go to the next level after I come back, and that's the Party School of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China."
"You got the news really quickly. I actually just found out about it."
"Are you going back to Yantai County before you leave? If you can't come back, we'll go there. Several old colleagues said they wanted to treat you to dinner. They asked me to make the call. You have to give me this face."
"Haha, okay, let's do it tomorrow. I'll go back tomorrow and treat you to dinner."
"No, we agreed to invite you."
After hanging up the phone, several colleagues and cadres called again, and without exception, they all wanted to invite Dong Xuebin to dinner. Since he offended Wang Anshi, Dong Xuebin has not been to official social events for a long time. Now they all rushed together, which made him a little helpless. However, he had to give this face, and some Dong Xuebin could refuse it. They all were rejected, and he had to go if he couldn't reject them.
For example, tonight, Dong Xuebin was dragged to a hotel box by seven or eight cadres from Guangming Street, where he ordered a lot of food and wine.
Geng Xinke raised his glass and said, "Director, congratulations first."
"Director, I respect you too."
"Let's all toast to Director Dong first."
"Congratulations on your promotion."
For a moment, everyone raised their glasses and clinked their wine with Dong Xuebin.
The hospitality was so great that Dong Xuebin had no choice but to drink with them one cup at a time, but in the end he still paid attention to his words and explained: "Why do you all say that I want to mention it? Don't spread rumors about things that don't exist. That's it. Go to the Party School for further study. To be honest, I really don’t want to leave at this time. It’s not hypocritical. Such a serious earthquake happened in Fenzhou City. There are many tasks waiting for us in post-disaster reconstruction. Let me go to the Party School at this time. I really can't let it go." Dong Xuebin turned to look at Geng Xinke and said with a smile: "But from now on, Secretary Geng will be in charge of the work of the subdistrict office, so I have nothing to worry about. Come on, let me toast you all. Thank you all for supporting my work over the past few months.”
"Director, you're welcome."
"It's our turn to respect you."
"Here, cheers."
After the meal, everyone walked back to the family home.
Looking at the courtyard where he had lived for many days, Dong Xuebin felt a little sad for a moment. He originally thought he would work at the Guangming Street Office for at least a year, but he didn't expect to leave so soon. This was something Dong Xuebin really didn't expect. Although he had long been looking forward to taking office, he felt a little reluctant when he heard that he was leaving.
When going upstairs, Dong Xuebin was with Geng Xinke.
Suddenly, Lin Pingping from the Yantai County Investment Promotion Bureau called.
Dong Xuebin glanced at Geng Xinke and pressed the answer button, "Hello, Xiaolin."
"Director Dong, I heard that you are going to the Central Party School?"
"Haha, I'll report there next week."
"Congratulations then. Whenever you have time, our old subordinates from China Merchants Bureau will invite you to dinner."
"Okay, tomorrow, I'll go back tomorrow."
After hanging up the line, Dong Xuebin turned his head and said: "By the way, Xinke, I have nothing to hide from you. You also know that I am leaving. We are not in a superior-subordinate relationship now. Some words may not be appropriate." I said, but I still want to ask, how are you and Lin Pingping doing? "
Hearing this, Geng Xinke smiled bitterly and said, "That's it."
Dong Xuebin took advantage of the wine and said: "I have been in contact with Xiaolin for a long time. She is indeed a good girl. I really think you two are quite suitable."
Geng Xinke sighed, "We broke up after graduating from college. To be honest, I regret it now, but it's useless to say anything. I have called Pingping a lot these days, but she didn't answer. I guess he still hates me, and I still do.”
"By the way." Dong Xuebin suddenly remembered something, "Do you know that Xiaolin has a son?"
Geng Xinke looked at him in shock, "Son? Isn't Pingping not married?"
Both of them stopped in the corridor.
Dong Xuebin was also stunned for a moment. He thought Geng Xinke knew. "Don't you know? Although Xiaolin's file says unmarried, fairy..."
"She really has a child?" Geng Xinke couldn't believe it.
"It's true, I've seen it once."
Suddenly his eyes changed, and Geng Xinke hurriedly said: "Director, how old is Pingping's child!?"
Dong Xuebin thought for a while, "How old are you? When I saw him last year, he seemed to be four or five years old? He probably looked like this."
"Four or five years old? Are you sure?"
"I should be sure, what's wrong?"
Geng Xinke took a breath and suddenly became excited, "Four or five years old! Four or five years old!"
Seeing him like this, Dong Xuebin was stunned, and then he was also shocked: "You mean?"
Geng Xinke hurriedly said: "Five years ago, when we both graduated from college, Pingping had never dated anyone else except me!"
I go! Is it your son
Did Lin Pingping find out she was pregnant after you broke up
Dong Xuebin suddenly became happy, "This is a good thing, Xinke, I'm not talking about you. If the child is really yours, you have to hurry up. It's really not easy for Xiaolin to raise a child alone these years."
Geng Xinke was at a loss and said: "I know, I know, then I"
Dong Xuebin smiled and said: "Hurry up and call and ask. Okay, I'm going back."
Geng Xinke was confused and immediately returned to his parents.
Geng Xinke and Lin Pingping actually have a son, which Dong Xuebin did not expect. In that case, the two people would have a greater chance of getting back together. Dong Xuebin was very happy to be able to facilitate such a happy event before leaving.
However, Dong Xuebin did not intend to get involved in their affairs. After returning home, he began to pack his luggage and prepared to leave in a few days.
one day…
Two days…
Dong Xuebin is going to be promoted to deputy director. Everyone can see this. Although the specific position is not yet clear, the matter has been confirmed. Dong Xuebin will report to the party school next week. After a month of training, he will go to his new position. Since he took office, time was tight, so everyone basically rushed to practice it for Dong Xuebin in these two days. Some district leaders, such as Executive Deputy District Chief Shen Fei and District Discipline Inspection Committee Secretary Wu, even invited Dong Xuebin to their home for dinner.
For two whole days, Dong Xuebin was busy socializing day and night. He also thought that time was running out and wanted to deal with the matter as soon as possible.
Nanshan District…Yantai County…
Dong Xuebin ran back and forth, revisiting all his old friendships. He was so busy that he finally ended his work and life here!
