Chapter 1368: How can there be someone so beautiful?
Afternoon.
County Party Family Quarters compound.
Dong Xuebing drove back home. He tried calling Xie Huilan's phone, but it rang for a while with no one answering.
Upon entering the house, he took a shower and changed his clothes. After drying his hair, Dong Xuebing called again, but no one answered. He wondered if Xie Huilan was leading the delegation after all.
Deciding not to dwell on it, Dong Xuebing leaned back on the sofa, lit a cigarette, and, with plenty of time on his hands, continued to study the stack of plans for the project.
Ring, ring, ring.
The phone rang.
Dong Xuebing answered, "Hello, Cui'er."
"Xuebing." It was Yao Cui calling. "Are you at home?"
Dong Xuebing replied, "Just got back a while ago. What's up?"
Yao Cui said, "If it's convenient for you, could you come back?"
Checking the time, Dong Xuebing said, "Isn't it still early for the condolence visits? Is it brought forward?"
Yao Cui explained, "Not really, but we received a sudden notice from the city. An inspection team from an external city is coming to our city for research. Their first stop is our Zhen Shui County. It seems to be related to the education sector. The city initially arranged for someone to receive them. Still, the leaders from the visiting city seemed reluctant to trouble the city and wanted to come down themselves. They will probably stay in our Zhen Shui County tonight. The city has already informed us to arrange accommodation for the visiting municipal cadres. However, it's not a significant matter. Secretary Meng suggests assigning someone from the education sector to receive them. When they want to go down to see something, let someone accompany them. The evening condolence work will proceed as usual."
Dong Xuebing was taken aback, "When will they arrive?"
"Any moment now. They should be coming directly to the County Party Committee Building."
"Are they from Fen Zhou City?"
"Um, I'm not sure. I didn't ask."
"Alright, I'll be right over."
After hanging up the phone, Dong Xuebing can confirm. It was undoubtedly Huilan who came. Otherwise, why would they choose Zhen Shui County for research with so many brother cities near Fenzhou City doing well in education? The schedule also seemed to be arranged by Xie Huilan, as the research was just a formality. She came to see him as the primary purpose.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhy the sudden surprise attack?
See how I will teach you a lesson tonight.
With his belongings in hand, Dong Xuebing went downstairs and drove over. He missed her badly. The last time he returned to Fen Zhou City, he didn't stay for more than a day before leaving for something else. He only briefly met with Xie Huilan, and they barely spoke. With Xie Huilan taking the initiative to visit him this time, they could have a proper reunion. He was pretty happy about it.
4 pm.
County Party Committee building.
Staff from the Party Committee Office and Government Office were already standing in the compound, ready to welcome the visitors from the external city. This research visit was sudden, and Zhen Shui County received no prior notice. Even many people in the county were unaware of this visit. However, it didn't matter much. This kind of visit was just an exchange and discussion of their work. It was not a significant event; welcoming them was just a formality. The research was sudden this time, and Zhen Shui County didn't receive any prior notice. Many people in the county didn't even know much about this visit. However, it didn't matter much. This kind of visit was just an exchange and discussion in their work, not a significant event. Welcoming them was just a formality.
In the County Party Secretary's office.
Secretary Zhang Feng knocked on the door. Secretary Meng, they are almost here.
Secretary Meng Rui nodded at his desk. "Is everything arranged?"
Secretary Zhang Feng, his secretary, said, "The guesthouse has been prepared. However, I'm afraid the conditions are a bit simple. People from the external city may find it unsatisfactory. Shouldn't we arrange them in a hotel instead?"
Meng Rui shook his head. "Let's stick with the guesthouse. Find the cleanest rooms available."
Their county was in such a situation, and it wasn't a leader from a higher level coming for inspection. It was just a research visit. There was no need to show off too much. Welcoming them was a courtesy because they had heard that the visiting city had a Deputy Mayor leading the delegation. With their official status, they couldn't refuse. It was just a formality.
Zhang Feng asked, "Alright. For this afternoon, when you go down for the condolence visit, do you want to inform Deputy County Mayor Lui to accompany them for dinner?"
Lui Zhi was the deputy county mayor in charge of the education sector.
Meng Rui nodded, "Let Lui handle it and have some County Party Committee Office staff go as well."
"Are you going down later? I heard that a Deputy Mayor is leading the delegation, and it seems quite important," Zhang Feng asked.
"Notify me when they arrive," Meng Rui affirmed. He would certainly go down. Even if it wasn't something significant, the Deputy Mayor had a much higher rank than him. It was necessary to give a face to someone who came for research and study. As the County Party Secretary, he couldn't neglect this. After thinking for a moment, Meng Rui suddenly said, "By the way, notify the staff from the County TV station and County newspaper to come over as soon as possible." If a more advanced city was coming to Zhen Shui County to learn and inspect their education work, it was an opportunity to enhance the image of Zhen Shui County and himself. There should be some media coverage.
"Alright, I'll contact them immediately," Zhang Feng said.
After going out, Zhang Feng quickly made several phone calls to arrange. For some aspects that weren't properly arranged, he also called and urged them multiple times. Unfortunately, they were disconcerted since they only received the notification briefly ago.
Five minutes
Ten minutes
Twenty minutes
The staff from the TV station and newspaper arrived.
Leaders and officials from the Education Bureau also rushed over.
Unlike others who were indifferent, Deputy County Mayor Lui Zhi and the Education Bureau officials attached great importance to this external city research. It was an affirmation of their work, and the fact that the external city chose Zhen Shui County as the first stop indicated that their county was at the forefront of education work. This could earn them some points, so the Education Bureau officials were naturally very welcoming.
Lui Zhi looked to the side. "Old Han, is everything arranged at the school?"
Han Dazhong, the Education Bureau Director, was a man in his forties with a graying hairline and glasses with gold rims. "Everything is arranged. However, they might not conduct research today. It's too late."
Lui Zhi pondered, "It's not certain. Prepare just in case."
Han Dazhong nodded. "Alright, I'll remind them again."
Lui Zhi said, "If they go down for research, the TV station will follow. Don't make any mistakes."
"I know." Han Dazhong also attached great importance to it. He immediately asked the Deputy Director of the Education Bureau, Zheng Xiuhao, to contact the schools.
Zhen Shui County's economic situation was not good, and there were few areas where they could achieve political accomplishments. Therefore, everyone valued such political performances.
The courtyard was bustling with activity. The people from the TV station knew that this was a political task. Although they were in a hurry, many devices were installed on-site, and many people didn't even know the report's content.
"What are we covering this time?"
"It seems to be about education research."
"Don't just assume, hurry up and find out."
The cameras were already set up, and preparations were almost complete. The TV station staff had to inquire before understanding today's task. Although rushed, they managed to catch up, and everything was ready.
"Hey."
"The cars are here."
"They've arrived, they've arrived."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCheng Fuguang, the Propaganda Department Minister, Liao Haiwei, the Organization Department Minister, Pu An, and Jianxiang were looking down from upstairs. Many County leaders hadn't come out yet, as the research from the external city wasn't directly related to them. Only Deputy Secretary Zhang Wanshui and Deputy County Mayor Ci Boyang, who had entered the Party Committee, were present, along with Lui Zhi. They were waiting with the County Party Committee Office and the Education Bureau personnel.
Several cars drove in.
The cars all had city license plates, which Mei He City arranged for the research team.
After receiving the news, Secretary Meng left the office with his secretary. Yao Cui and Ma Bin, the director of the County Party Committee Office, also walked into the courtyard.
The car doors opened.
About six or seven people got out of the car.
Meng Rui and Zhang Wanshui walked ahead, greeting them with smiles. Behind them were more than twenty County leaders and staff members who followed suit, creating a grand scene.
"Old Zhang," Meng Rui whispered as they walked, "Which city are they from?"
Zhang Wanshui said, "It seems to be from Fen Zhou City, a prefecture-level city in Hebei Province."
Considering how far Hebei Province was, Meng Rui was puzzled about why they would come to their city for research. However, Fenzhou City sounded somewhat familiar to him.
Well, let's just welcome them.
In any case, it's good for Zhen Shui County to enhance its image.
Reporters and TV personnel were already busy taking photos and filming.
Meng Rui looked at a middle-aged person who had just come down, thinking he should be the group leader. So, he smiled and extended a welcoming gesture to them. Zhen Shui County had only received the news half an hour ago, and Secretary Meng didn't even know which city Leader was visiting, let alone who was leading the delegation. He assumed that this person might be the Deputy Mayor.
However, the middle-aged man didn't speak. Instead, he quickly reached into the car to assist a woman.
The woman appeared in her thirties, dressed in a neat suit. After being respectfully helped out of the car, everyone was surprised to discover that this young woman was pregnant, with a noticeable belly that seemed to be four or five months pregnant. Many were startled when they looked at her smiling face, with beautiful crescent-shaped eyes that seemed capable of captivating souls.
Oh my, she's too beautiful!
Many people were taken aback by her charm. The temperament, the stunning face even Lui Zhi and Yao Cui, not to mention Zhang Wanshui and many County Leaders, couldn't help but steal a few more glances.
It wasn't that they lacked experience. It was just that this woman was gorgeous.
Eyebrows, eyes, eyelashes, nose, mouth everything was flawless.
Many couldn't help but sigh. How could there be such a beautiful woman in the world?
