Chapter 564: Standout!

The next day.

Friday morning.

Dong Xuebing woke up early. He stood by the windows and saw the District Government’s Audi A6 waiting downstairs after washing up and breakfast. It seems to have just arrived. He grabbed his bag and keys and listened to any movements outside his door.

“Click…” It is the sound of a door opening from downstairs.

“I am leaving.” Geng Yuehua said.

“Are you coming back tonight?” Geng Yuehua’s mother asked.

“It depends.”

“If you are coming back for dinner, give me a call.”

“Ok.” Tut… tut… tut… the high heels footsteps sounds are getting further. She is walking down the stairs.

Dong Xuebing heard it and quickly opened his door. He walks down the stairs, and Geng Xinke’s apartment door has closed. “Fourth floor,” “Third floor,” “Second floor” The footsteps are fast and loud. When Dong Xuebing reached the landing of the first floor, he saw Geng Yuehua’s back. She had pined her hair up and did not have any make upon. But she had changed her heels and wore a pair of black stockings.

Geng Yuehua has the attractiveness of a mature woman.

Dong Xuebing finally caught up with her on the ground floor. “Good morning, Mayor Geng.”

Geng Yuehua turns and looks at him. “…… morning.”

“Have you taken your breakfast?”

“Yes.”

Geng Yuehua did not stop and went straight to the Audi. She got in quickly and closed the door.

“Fine.” She must be mad with me.

Dong Xuebing stood there and watched the Audi drives out of the compound. He woke up early to ‘meet’ Geng Yuehua and see her attitude towards him after the ‘underwear incident.’ But she still treated him like before, and he could not tell what she was thinking. He felt he could take it as she was offended. He had snatched her younger brother’s position, sent him to the hospital, and ordered an insulting dish. She will not be so forgiving to forgive him after so many incidents.

Morning.

Guang Ming Subdistrict Office.

When Dong Xuebing reached his office, Zhou Yanru entered with a stack of documents. “Director, my husband thanked you for the cigarettes.”

Dong Xuebing smiles. “Don’t mention it. Let me know when he finishes it. I still have some here.”

“Haha… I don’t dare.”

“Oh, what is it?”

Zhou Yanru puts the documents on the desk neatly. “The District had called for a last-minute meeting. It is at 10 am in the District Government building. The meeting is about the management of the nursing homes, and all Subdistrict Office Directors and Civil Affairs Leaders must attend. This meeting was supposed to be held in the District’s Ministry of Civil Affairs, but it was delayed. The venue is changed to the District Government, and they seem to be very concerned about this. These are the information prepared by the office department for your reference.”

“10 am?” Dong Xuebing flipped the document. “Alright. Is the Passat available?”

“It is parked in the backyard. Do you want me to arrange a driver?”

“No need. I will go alone.”

Dong Xuebing looked at his watch and did not leave immediately. The District had previously issued directives on respecting and honoring the elderlies and wanted all Subdistrict Offices to submit a report. Now, they want a meeting to discuss nursing home management. He doesn’t know what the District Government is trying to do. Nan Shan District is one of the top few Districts when it comes to elderly care. They are much better than Yan Tai County and don’t need to do anything to improve it. They have sufficient funds and manpower, but why are they keep emphasizing elderlies recently? Although he is puzzled, he must be prepared. He read all the documents in his office before driving to the District Government Building. He did not drive his Cayenne as he is going to the District Government.

Nan Shan District.

District Government Building.

Dong Xuebing arrived slightly late because he was reading the documents. He saw many Subdistrict Offices’ cars parked outside.

Sixth floor. District Government Meeting Room.

Almost all the seats were taken up, and other than a few leaders whispering to each other, it was very quiet. A few secretaries are arranging documents on the rostrum. There are no nameplates on the tables, and Dong Xuebing sat on an empty seat. He didn’t know anyone there, and he waited quietly for the meeting to start. This meeting is for Subdistrict Office Directors, Ministry of Civil Affairs Leaders, People’s Office staff. Social Affairs Directors and Deputy Directors. It’s rare to see anyone below thirty years old at this level, and Dong Xuebing, who is in his twenties, stood out among them. Also, he is an unfamiliar face, and many people notice him.

This is Dong Xuebing’s first meeting at the District Government, and no one knows him.

Dong Xuebing sat beside a Government Staff in his early thirties. He is a Deputy Director from the District’s Social Affairs Office. He looks at Dong Xuebing and wonders who he is. When did Nan Shan District have such a young middle management leader? Out of curiosity, he asked. “You are?”

Dong Xuebing looks at him. “Dong Xuebing. Guang Ming Subdistrict Office Director.”

That person paused for a second and quickly extended his hand for a handshake.

“…. Nice to meet you.”

“Me too.” Dong Xuebing shook his hand.

That person had changed his attitude immediately after hearing his name.

The Deputy Director had thought this young man had come to the wrong place and asked him out of curiosity.

It turns out to be the Director of a Subdistrict Office. Not only he has more authority, but his rank is also higher. How can he get to Section Chief rank at his age? Is he even twenty-four?

Even if this person has backings, he also cannot get promoted so fast. Did he climb up with credits? How great must his credit be to be promoted so fast? Even Nan Shan District’s youngest Division Chief level, Geng Yuehua, become a Subdistrict Office Work Party Secretary and Director at twenty-seven.

A twenty-four years old Subdistrict Office is standing out too much!
