Power and Wealth Chapter 1198: Long Vacation

Chapter 1198: Long Vacation

Morning.

Zhen Shui County.

County Party Committee Building.

It’s Spring, and the temperature is pleasant. The willow trees swayed along with the breeze.

Outside of the Party Committee Building.

Yao Cui pushed Dong Xuebing to their workplace.

“Xuebing, you should be resting at home.”

“I am fine. We received the funds, and it will be busy.”

“I heard the leaders had put you on vacation, but I don’t know how many days.”

“Then the more I should come. I must settle my work today.”

Dong Xuebing does not care about his work as he is not the Party Secretary or Mayor. Nothing will happen when he is not around, and someone will take over his duties. He came because he was worried about Jiang Fangfang’s attitude.

Many people came to work.

“Mayor Dong….”

“Hi, Mayor Dong.”

“Good morning.”

“How are you feeling?”

Many staff greeted Dong Xuebing warmly.

Dong Xuebing came for one month, and his performance impressed everyone. Their County had sent people to the Central Government to seek financial assistance several times, but none succeeded. He went and got fifty million RMB from the Central government. After that, the City held back the funds, and he went to get it back. He made the City return the money the next day and got one million RMB more. On their way back to the County, he fought off almost twenty men with his injuries.

What is this?

This is Mayor Dong’s capability!

Those Meng Factions men, unhappy with Dong Xuebing, were impressed by him too. Even Secretary Meng treated him differently recently.

The higher-up had set the tone.

The people below no longer dare to belittle Mayor Dong. The main reason was how Dong Xuebing beat up eighteen men with his injuries. It was shocking, and this incident affirmed his position in Zhen Shui County. The County has money and will execute many plans.

Upstairs.

Executive County Deputy Mayor Office.

Dong Xuebing did his work listlessly and signed some documents. He kept looking at the time. 9.30 am. Jiang Fangfang should be at work, and he called Office Department Ma Lin to get a staff member to push him upstairs.

“Mayor Office.

The staff member helped Dong Xuebing knock on the door and waited beside him.

The door opened. Jiang Fangfang’s secretary Li Xiaona came out and was surprised. “Mayor Dong? Why are you at work with your injuries?”

Dong Xuebing forced a smile. “I am fine.”

Li Na thought to herself. How can you be fine with multiple fractures?

Dong Xuebing asked. “Is Mayor Jiang around?”

“Yes.” Li Xiaona held the wheelchair handles. “I will push you in.”

Dong Xuebing nodded. “Thank you, Secretary Li.”

Li Xiaona replied. “It’s all right.”

Li Xiaona closed the door after Dong Xuebing entered the office, and she pushed him outside of the inner door. “Mayor Jiang said you can enter her office anytime.”

“Ok.” Dong Xuebing said.

Li Xiaona tried to open the door, but it was locked. This had never happened before, and Mayor Jiang had never locked the door.

“Huh?”

“Secretary Li?”

“Wait. I will ask.”

Li Xiaona cleared her throat and knocked. “Mayor, Mayor Dong is here.”

Jiang Fangfang said. “I am busy. Let Mayor Dong go back first. I will speak to him when I am done.”

“All… all right.”

“Ok, that’s all.”

Jiang Fangfang did not say anything else.

Li Xiaona looked at Dong Xuebing embarrassedly. “Mayor Dong….”

Dong Xuebing cleared his throat and said. “It’s fine. I will go back first.”

“Then… I will push you back to your office.”

“No need. Xiao Zhang is waiting outside. Thank you.”

10 am.

Dong Xuebing returned to his office and rubbed his temples. He knew Jiang Fangfang must be angry, or she would not avoid him.

Sigh….

What can I do now?

Ring… ring… ring…. The office phone rang.

Dong Xuebing looked at the number. It was from the Party Secretary’s Office. “Hello.”

“Mayor Dong.” It was the County Party Secretary Meng Rui. “Why are you at work today?”

Dong Xuebing replied. “We got lots of work at my unit, and I want to settle it as soon as possible.”

Meng Rui was unhappy. “I asked you to rest. How can you work in your condition? Go back and rest. Don’t affect your recovery.”

Dong Xuebing said. “I am fine, Secretary Meng.”

Meng Rui said. “Don’t treat your fractures lightly. Your mobility will be affected if your bones do not heal properly. I spoke to Mayor Jiang this morning, and we decided to put you on two months’ vacation. Stay at home and rest. The departments’ leaders will contact you over the phone, and you don’t need to come to work. Your injuries are serious, and two months might not be enough. I will get someone to send you back.”

Dong Xuebing had no choice. “All right. Thank you, Secretary Meng.”

Dong Xuebing finished his work after he hung up.

Two months is an extended vacation. He had never rested so long since he entered the government service. He was forced to take this break because of his injuries. Sigh…. This break is also good as he can avoid Mayor Jiang for some time. But he was unsure if their relationship could resume.

Vacation… where should he go?

Dong Xuebing thought for a while and decided to go home.

Beijing.

Feng Zhou City.

Both places are fine. He had not seen Huilan and Yunxuan for some time and missed them.
