Power and WealthChapter 51 – Deputy Chief Nomination!
The scenes in front of Dong Xuebing changed!
“Chief Zhou.”
“Chief Zhou.”
“Chief Zhou.”
The pale looking Zhou Changchun returned back to the officeagain. Soft and weak greetings could be heard again. Other than Zhuang Zhi,everyone else remains seated in their seats. Everyone was no longer have therespect and fear for Zhou Changchun.
Zhou Changchun was furious, and he looked at his formertrusted aide, Guo Panwei. “Panwei, come to my office for a while.”
Guo Panwei points to a document in his hand: “I’m sorryChief Zhou. I need to deliver an important document.”
Guo Shunjie immediately looks down. In his heart, he wassnickering. Who would still take your orders now?
Tan Limei had been scolded by Zhou Changchun for saying thewrong things when she just joined the agency. She was usually cheerful in theoffice, but today, she was the same as Changjuan and Old Yan. She just looksdown and focuses on her work. Anyway, Zhou Changchun can no longer order themin the future. Who cares about him? Zhou Changchun was someone who might beunder investigation for financial discrepancies. Whoever gets close to him nowwill be a fool!
Zhou Changchun looked around and understood why his formerstaffs were treating him this way. He laughed coldly. “Fine...... Fine...... Fine......!”He had been in the government sector for several years, and he knew whateveryone was thinking now. That’s right. Who would want to get close to me now?No one! This was how cold-hearted people in the government sector were! Cuttingties with someone when they were in trouble.
The next moment, everyone in the General Affairs Office,including Zhou Changchun were shocked.
“Chief Zhou, I have some free time. Are you going to packyour office? Let me help you.” A smiling Dong Xuebing ran over and supportedZhou Changchun. “You have just been discharged from the hospital. You must becareful. I will help you with your office. Watch your feet!”
Zhou Changchun was stunned. “...... No need to help me. I canwalk by myself.”
Dong Xuebing immediately said. “I’m sorry. I did not knowyou will be discharged today and the water in your office is empty. It’s myfault. I will change the water bottle for you immediately.”
Zhou Changchun felt better, and his face was no longer asblack as before. “Don’t need to be so troublesome. I will be leaving after Ipacked my things.”
Dong Xuebing ignored him and went out to get a bottle ofwater back to Zhou Changchun office. After he refilled the water dispenser, hepoured a cup of water for Zhou Changchun. Dong Xuebing did not stop after this.He continued to pack Zhou Changchun’s belongings for him. He packed ZhouChangchun’s stuff, like food tray, mug, tea set, etc. neatly for him.
Everyone else in the office was shocked by Dong Xuebing’sactions. What was this Dong Xuebing thinking?
Guo Shunjie shook his head. This Dong Xuebing was stupid!Why would he still bootlick an outgoing leader?
Guo Panwei was also laughing to himself. This Xiao Dong wasreally dumb. If Zhou Changchun were being investigated for corruptions or otherproblems and asked to “retire due to his illness”, Dong Xuebing would beimplicated.
Tan Limei tried making eye signals to Dong Xuebing. But DongXuebing ignored her. She was pissed with him. She had just told Dong Xuebingabout the implications for being close to Zhou Changchun a while ago! What washe thinking?!
In the small room.
Zhou Changchun was touched when he saw Dong Xuebing sweatingfor helping him. “Xiao Dong, sit down and rest for a while.”
“It’s okay. I am not tired.” Dong Xuebing replied. “Do you stillhave anything else to pack?”
“That’s about it. Sit down and have a chat.” Dong Xuebingsat down on a chair with only half his butt touching the chair. It was likebefore. The correct sitting posture when sitting in front of a leader. ZhouChangchun sighed when he saw this. He patted Dong Xuebing’s shoulder: “It istime like this when you will see someone’s true colors. Xiao Dong. Good. I amright about you!”
Dong Xuebing sincerely replied: “This is what my duties.”
Zhou Changchun sighed again and squeezed Dong Xuebing’sshoulder. “I can finally see it! I should have known this before! You are theonly one in this office that is worth grooming. But all the paperwork for myretirement were completed, and I can’t take care of you in the future.”
Dong Xuebing immediately replied: “You have been guiding andtaking care of me since I joined the General Affairs Office. Thank you for yourguidance, Chief Zhou.”
Zhou Changchun paused and seems to be thinking aboutsomething. He suddenly waved his fist and looks like he had made a decision. “Iwill not say anything else to you. Wait a while. I need to make a phone call.”
Dong Xuebing held back his excitement and pretended to becalm. “Then I will go out first?”
“No need. Sit there.” Zhou Changchun picks up the phone onthe desk and dials a number. Zhou Changchun had wanted to nominate Guo Panweiat first. But Guo Panwei’s attitude just now had greatly disappointed him. DongXuebing on the other hand, still treated him with respect like before. ZhouChangchun was moved by Dong Xuebing’s actions.
The line got through. “Hello, is this Chief Yan? I am ZhouChangchun...... Yes. I have decided who I will recommend....... Thank you for yourtrust....... Yes...... I think the position of the Deputy Chief of the General AffairsOffice......” Zhou Changchun paused and looked at Dong Xuebing. “...... should go toDong Xuebing. He is the most suitable candidate to take on this role...... youshould know him...... Right. He is the young man that ran into the fire to get backthe documents....... Yes. He just joined this year, and he had performedexceptionally well....... Yes, this year....... Although he lacks experience, but otherthan this, he is perfect. He is matured, meticulous, brave...... Yes. I am onlynominating him......”
Dong Xuebing clenched his fist. His heart almost jumped outof his mouth.
Bureau Chief Yan on the line seems to be troubled. He hadmentioned “experience” several times in the conversation. It was not as smoothsailing when Xiao Gao from the Political Division was nominated. It was apparentthat Dong Xuebing was still too junior.
But when Dong Xuebing was about to give up hope, he heardZhou Changchun suddenly said. “Eh? Chief Li is at your office? You can also askChief Li about Xiao Dong.......” After saying this, Zhou Changchun held thereceiver and kept quiet. About 3 to 4 minutes later, Zhou Changchun smiled.“Chief Li is also nominating Dong Xuebing as the Deputy Chief of GeneralAffairs Office? Yes...... Yes...... What do you think?...... Ok...... Thank you, Chief Yan.”Zhou Changchun smiled after hanging up. “Xiao Dong, you are fortunate. If onlyme and Chief Li put your name as one of the candidates, the Bureau Chief willnever approve it. But Chief Li Qing had only nominated you alone. That meansour General Affairs Office had the same view. Chief Yan did not say anything,and you are considered to have qualified as one of the candidates. The PartyCommittee will discuss your promotion during their next meeting.”
Done?
Am I really promoted?!
Dong Xuebing said gratefully: “Chief Zhou, you...... What can Isay?I still did not meet thequalifications...... I......”
Zhou Changchun interrupted him: “Haha, it is only anomination. I will tell you the truth. This position might still be out ofreach for you. Even if the General Affairs Office did not nominate Guo Shunjueand Guo Panwei, their names would also appear in the meeting through otherdepartments. Both of them have backgrounds and connections. It is almostimpossible for you to win them.” Zhou Changchun was already retired, and hedoes not hold back. “We nominated you is to let your name appear in front ofthe leaders and let them have an impression of you. This will increase yourchances of promotion the next time. Do you understand?”
“Yes, sir. Thank you, Chief Zhou. Thank you!”
As long as he was nominated, he will have a chance!
Dong Xuebing felt he was too lucky. He did not make anywrong moves since the day he entered the General Affairs Office. He had helpedZhou Changchun traded shares, jumped into a burning office to retrievedocuments, and he had final see the returns for all the efforts he put in.
Dong Xuebing will not give up this chance for promotion!
