Chapter 1345: Exceptional!

5 pm.

The government department ended the work.

Of course, only the leaders are allowed to leave at this time. Other staff members cannot end work so early. They will continue working until 5.30 pm or even 6 pm sometimes. But today, many departments work overtime due to the incident of the Public Security Bureau family quarters. Dong Xuebing had not recovered from his injuries and did not need to help out. He remained in his office to plan the family quarters repairs and rebuild.

This was not something Dong Xuebing was good at.

Construction engineering He does not know anything.

Dong Xuebing realized he was the County leader and not a specialist. Mayor Jiang was correct. He only needs to set the general direction, and the others will do the work.

Dong Xuebing called Yao Cui to his office.

Mayor Dong, are you looking for me? Yao Cui entered the office.

Dong Xuebing replied. Get the County Government Office to devise a plan and budget for the family quarter repair and rebuild project. I need it tomorrow.

Yao Cui nodded. Ok. I will inform them. Do you have any special requirements?

Dong Xuebing thought for a while. No. Keep the budget within 30 million RMB. Let me see when it is done. I might have changed.

All right. I understand. They finished talking about work, and Yao Cui laughed. Its time to get off work. Are you free to have dinner tonight?

Is it about the heels? Dong Xuebing replied. You gave me a treat, and we are old friends. Stop thinking about the pair of heels.

Yao Cui laughed. I am not giving you a treat. The Finance Departments Chief Yan and Chief Chen wanted to treat you. They want to celebrate with you.

Celebrate what?

Your promotion to the Deputy in charge of this project.

Its just a task assigned to me. This is not a promotion.

You can decide how to use the 30 million RMB and which quarters to rebuild or repair. Everybody must listen to you. You have the overall authority.

Stop teasing me.

Haha I am the messenger. They feared you might be busy today and asked me to check if you are free.

Dong Xuebing thought for a while and said. We should not eat outside as a major incident just happened. Although no one died, a few dozen residents were injured. We would invite gossip if we eat outside in a group. This was not a big deal at the grassroots level. But Dong Xuebing was influenced by his wife and was watchful of these details. Lets go to your places courtyard for dinner if convenient. But I am afraid it might trouble your parents.

Yao Cui laughed. We are friends. Its not troublesome. All right. Lets have dinner at my place. My parents would also like you to come over to have dinner.

Thats settled then.

Ok. I will call them now.

No need. I will get the groceries. I am going to show off my skills.

How can we let you cook dinner? My parents will skin me alive.

Knock knock

Someone knocked on the door.

Yao Cuis expression turned serious. I am going back to work.

Dong Xuebing nodded. Ok. Remember to inform Old Yan and Old Chen.

Yao Cui opened the door and walked out. Jiang Fangfangs secretary, Li Xiaona, was outside. Yao Cui smiled and greeted her. Sis Li.

Li Xiaona returned a smile. Is Mayor Dong busy?

No. You can enter. Yao Cui stepped aside to let Li Xiaona enter and closed the door.

Dong Xuebing smiled. Why are you here, Secretary Li? Is Mayor Jiang looking for me? You can call.

Li Xiaona replied. No. Mayor Jiang had left, and she asked me to make sure you go home. She is afraid you might continue working. Haha thats why I am here.

Dong Xuebing replied. Its still early. Everybody is still around.

Li Xiaona said. You still have not recovered, and Mayor Jiang is concerned.

I know. Dong Xuebing paused for a second and said. I am going back now. Help me thank Mayor Jiang for her concern.

Li Xiaona did not remain to watch Dong Xuebing. She left after he said he was going back.

Dong Xuebing packed up and went downstairs. He would buy some ingredients and bring them to Yao Cuis house.

The Party Committee Building compound.

Few people were in the compound, as most staff were still working.

But a few staff members and some leaders were walking out. They saw Dong Xuebing, and they had weird expressions.

Mayor Dong.

Mayor Dong.

Are you going home?

Dong Xuebing nodded to them and got into his Land Rover.

They watched the Land Rover left the Party Committee Building compound and started talking.

Everybody focused on the Public Security Bureau family quarter building this afternoon. They were worried as their family quarters building was in the same condition. They were wondering when the County would repair or rebuild their family quarters. The Party Committee meeting continued in the afternoon, and they heard their family quarters would be repaired or rebuilt. They were excited.

But everybody was also speechless when they heard who would oversee this project.

This was a 30 million RMB project, and Mayor Jiang was overall in charge. Her deputy was Mayor Dong. This project's no. 1 and 2 were all from the Jiang Faction!

How is this possible?

Mayor Jiang will lead this project, and the next person in charge is from the Jiang Faction.

What was Secretary Meng thinking? Why did he hand over such an essential project to other people?

This was puzzling, and everybody could tell something was wrong. A few hours later, everybody slowly found out the truth.

Mayor Dong proposed rebuilding the family quarters before the building collapsed, and the Meng Faction rejected his proposal.

Almost immediately after they rejected Mayor Dongs proposal, the family quarter building collapsed.

Everybody was shocked, and many almost cursed out loud.New chaptᴇrs are published on (ꜰ)ir(e).nᴇt

F**k! How can there be such a coincidence? Can you tell the future?

Dong Xuebing was in the limelight again. He started working in Zhen Shui County for around one month and had shaken the County several times.

There were rumors that Mayor Dong could predict the future.

Someone said Mayor Dong brings bad luck.

There were all sorts of rumors because of this incident.

Dong Xuebing carried a woman and jumped off from the sixth floor. He managed to land safely with his exceptional skills. Everybody in Zhen Shui County Government departments knows an exceptional Deputy Mayor came.

Secretary Meng lost.

He controlled the majority of votes in the Committee but still lost.

This was a signal. Secretary Meng can no longer control Zhen Shui County from now on.
