Chapter 1051: The God of Plagues is leaving

One day….

Two days….

Three days….

Thursday.

Dong Xuebing finished a few documents in his office. He was about to prepare for a meeting in the afternoon when he heard footsteps and a commotion outside. He looked at his closed door puzzledly.

A few moments later, someone knocked on the door.

“Come in, please.” Dong Xuebing puts down the document he is reading.

It was Inspection First Office Staff Member Zhu Zhu. She entered the office and looked at Dong Xuebing in shock. “Director, the City Organization Department is here.”

Dong Xuebing looked at her. “The Organization Department?”

Zhu Zhu nodded. “That’s right. The Organization Department staff spoke to Director Luo and Director Liu. He asked them about you, and I heard he had visited Secretary He and Secretary Zhan.” After working in the government for a few years, she knew about this procedure. These talks were part of the procedures before a promotion or transfer. She smiled. “Congratulations.”

Dong Xuebing looked calm. “We still don’t know what’s happening.”

Zhu Zhu closed the door after she left.

Dong Xuebing smiled. He had been waiting for this day, but it was too early for him to be happy.

About ten minutes later.

Knock… knock… knock…. Someone knocked on Dong Xuebing’s office.

“Come in.” Dong Xuebing looked up.

It was Fei Fan. He entered the office and greeted Dong Xuebing politely. “Director, Minister Wen is here.” He said and stepped aside.

Wen Shixiang smiled and entered the office. “Director Dong.”

Dong Xuebing quickly stood up to receive him. “Minister Wen.”

Fei Fan quickly left the office and closed the door softly.

Wen Shixiang and Dong Xuebing exchanged some pleasantries and sat on the sofa. Wen Shixiang smiled and said. “I am here to speak to you on behalf of the organization. Haha…. Our Organization Department is different from the Discipline Inspection. Nothing good will happen if you all speak to someone, but it is different for us.” He had not had many interactions with Dong Xuebing before and only met him once when he was appointed. “I will reveal something to you. Someone in the higher-ups suggested that you be transferred to the grass root level for training. I am here to gather feedback and to seek your opinion.”

Dong Xuebing replied cautiously. “I will follow whatever the organization’s arrangement for me.”

Can he refuse this offer? He had worked hard to get this transfer.

As Wen Shixiang talked to Dong Xuebing, news spread in the City Government Building.

Everyone was shocked.

“What?! The Organization Department is interviewing Director Dong?!”

“Are you sure? Is he going to be promoted again?”

“I think it will be a transfer. Even if it is a transfer to the grass root level, it is also considered a promotion. He will be promoted to Division Chief after gaining experience there.”

“But didn’t Director Dong was promoted six months ago?”

“Maybe it is because of the recent incident, and he got a promotion based on an exceptional basis.”

“But we had not heard anything until now.”

“I heard it was an order from the Provincial Organization Department.”

“The Provincial Government got involved? No wonder we did not hear anything until now.”

“Director Dong is only twenty-five. Sigh…. We can never compare against him.”

Everyone was shocked when Dong Xuebing was promoted from a Sub District Chief to the City Discipline Inspection. Six months later, he is going to be promoted again. He would be promoted to Division Chief after gaining experience at the grassroots level. They were jealous of him, but they knew it was his capabilities. He was the only one who dared to enter the freezing water to save others. He had gotten his credits by risking his life.

Around 10 am.

Wen Shixiang and his men from the Organization Department left the Discipline Inspection.

At the same time, Dong Xuebing’s phone rang. It was Xie Huilan.

“Hello, Huilan.” Dong Xuebing was in a good mood.

“Is your transfer settled?” Xie Huilan asked.

“Yes. But I don’t know where I will be going.”

“Haha…. You still have not told me who helped you. How long are you going to hide from me?”

“I had not told you because it was not finalized. I don’t want you to be disappointed.” Dong Xuebing does not want to embarrass himself in front of Xie Huilan. “It was the Provincial Organization Department’s No. 3 who helped. Deputy Minister Jia is going to retire and has migraine problems. I learned about it from a friend and treated him. He returned the favor and helped me with the transfer.”

“You are quite lucky.”

“Oh, let’s invite Minister Jia and his wife for dinner to thank them. You can also take this opportunity to get to know him. He is the Provincial Organization Department’s No. 3, and you might need his help in the future.” Thɪs chapter is updated by ɴovel(ꜰ)ɪre.nᴇt

“He will be retiring in a few days.”

“Oh, that’s right. But we still have to treat him.”

“Ok.”

“We also have to treat Mayor Zhong.”

“Yes.”

“Also, Secretary Zhan, Secretary He, and other former leaders and colleagues. Sigh…. It’s going to be busy for the next few days.”

“Yes.”

“Huh? Why do you sound like you are not interested?”

Xie Huilan laughed. “Who will cook and wash my clothes for me if you are gone?”

Dong Xuebing knew Xie Huilan did not want him to leave, and he felt the same. They had been together since she was Yan Tai County Mayor and had lived together since they were married. Now, their child was going to be born, and he had to leave. However, this was his only way to get promoted. He also does not want to leave Qu Yunxuan. “Huilan, how about I request to be transferred to a nearby County?”

“Do you think you can decide on your transfer? What are you thinking? Haha…. This transfer is critical for your career. Just go ahead. I can take care of myself.”

“But I will be worried.”

“Don’t worry. I will ask Mum to come over near my due date. I will be fine.”

“Err…. I will try my best to achieve some results and transfer back as soon as possible.”

“Take your time, and don’t give yourself too much pressure. You will be a Division Chief when you are back. Do you think it is easy? I was almost thirty when I became a Division Chief.”

“I am different. I become a Deputy Division Chief within two years. Just wait for my good news.” Dong Xuebing received a call when he was talking to Xie Huilan. “Huh? I got an incoming call.”

“You will be busy since you are going to be transferred. Let’s talk when we are back.”

“Ok.” Dong Xuebing hung up and answered the other call. “Hello, I am Dong Xuebing.”

“Director Dong! Hahaha…. I am Liu Dahai.”

“Old Liu! We have not met for quite some time.”

“Yes. Congratulations on your promotion.”

“No…. it’s a same-level transfer, and it is not confirmed.”

“Don’t be modest. I heard everything, and many of your former colleagues in Yan Tai County miss you. We want to give you a treat.”

“Haha…. I should be the one treating you all.”

“I am waiting for you to say this.” Liu Dahai was the Police Station Chief in Huitian village, and they were close.

“I will return in a few days. Gather everyone for a drink.”

Liu Dahai paused for a second. “Are you going to be transferred somewhere far?”

Dong Xuebing replied. “I think so. It will be difficult for me to return. That’s why I hope we can have a gathering before I go. The next time we meet would be at least one year later.”

“Then…. We will go over to find you.”

“No need. I will go to Huitian. I must also visit my colleagues in Yan Tai County and my mother’s hometown.”

Dong Xuebing’s phone continues to ring after hanging up.

“Hello, Director Dong. It’s me.”

“Hello, Director. Congratulations.”

“Hello, Xiao Dong. Congratulations on your promotion. When are you giving a treat? I am waiting.”

The calls were from colleagues, friends, relatives, and leaders.

Dong Xuebing was famous in Fen Zhou City and was more famous than the City Party Secretary and Mayor. News of his upcoming transfer spread quickly.

Those who offended Dong Xuebing before were relieved and glad he was leaving. Even Ping An Subdistrict Chief Chu Qinghua also called to congratulate him. The God of Plagues is leaving, but Mayor Xie is still around.

Many people were envious of Dong Xuebing’s promotion.
