Chapter 1059: Dong Xuebing’s appointment

Two days later.

Monday, morning.

The sky was clear, and the clouds looked like cotton candy.

A City Party Committee Organization Department registration plate car drove into Zhen Shui County. The local Organization Department Executive Deputy Minister Meng Yiguang sat in the rear passenger seat with Dong Xuebing. He had reported to the City Party Committee, and this was his official first day. He saw the condition of the car and got a better understanding of the City’s financial status. Any department’s deputy chiefs in Fen Zhou City were assigned an Audi A6 or a Passat. When Dong Xuebing worked at Yan Tai County Investment Promotion Agency, he drove a Camry, and all departments were given this model. However, the City Organization Department’s No. 2 car was a domestic car worth around 100,000 RMB. Not only Zhen Shui County was poor, but even the local city was also poor too.

“Mayor Dong.” Meng Yiguang said. “I saw your files. You are a graduate of Beijing and have worked around that region.”

Dong Xuebing replied. “Yes. I worked in Fen Zhou City.”

Meng Yiguang looked at Dong Xuebing. “I need to warn you. This place is poor, and I believe you have noticed it. You must be prepared as it will be tough. I am not saying you are unable to take on this position. This place, especially Zhen Sui County, is too poor. I am a local and saw what happened to Zhen Sui County over the years. Nothing had changed after so many years. Sigh…. We lack resources and do not have any outstanding industry. The county could not develop, and the past few leaders could not solve this problem.”

Dong Xuebing smiled. “I understand, Minister Meng.”

Meng Yiguang nodded. “I hope you know what is going on.”

“I arrived two days ago.” Dong Xuebing said. “I had looked around the county. Although the environment is poor, the people are nice, and I like this place.”

Meng Yiguang nodded. “You are right. The locals are nice and down-to-earth. You will know them better in the future.”

Meng Yiguang thought nothing about Dong Xuebing as he knew the latter was here to gain experience and would leave in one or two years. He was only surprised by Dong Xuebing’s age. He does not know about Dong Xuebing’s background and knows it is meaningless to ask. Fen Zhou City was several provinces away, and he could not find out about his background and abilities. The government here seemed to have lost touch with the rest of the country. This place is poor, and the leaders here do not have many friends. They only focused on their area and were not interested in what happened in other provinces, let alone a lowly ranked Dong Xuebing. They were more interested in the Provincial leaders, like what old Yang said. All connections and backgrounds will not work at the grass root level. Dong Xuebing got to start from scratch, and no one here will care if you have a Deputy City Mayor wife.

This is Dong Xuebing’s challenge.

Dong Xuebing knew and was prepared. No one knows him, and he can finally get rid of the God of Plagues nickname and start afresh. He can make new connections and get results. This was his plan.

Six months.

Dong Xuebing must achieve outstanding results within six months and return as a Division Chief.

Zhen Shui County.

County Party Committee building.

The guard had informed Zhen Shui County leaders when the car reached. All the leaders and staff quickly walked out.

Main building. The car stopped.

Meng Yiguang and Dong Xuebing got out of the car.

Looking at the County Party Committee building will tell a lot about the County’s financial status. Yan Tai County was considered a poor county. Still, the government buildings and Party Committee Building were equipped with the latest LCD TVs and PCs. Dong Xuebing sighed when he saw Zhen Shui County Party Committee Building. The ground and walls were cracked, and some windows on the second floor were broken. The place was covered with dust, and it seemed like no one had cleaned it for ages.

The cafeteria was a big tent.

This office building was at least 40 years old.

There were almost no cars except for a few vans in the parking lots and a few bicycles and electric bikes outside.

This was the first time Dong Xuebing saw such a rundown government building, and he was shocked. This place was too poor, and the building value…. His Land Rover might be worth more than this building.

Since I am here, I should make the best out of it.

Dong Xuebing wants to bring Zhen Shui County out of poverty. He needs to start somewhere and cannot rush.

“Minister Meng.”

“Minister Meng.”

Many people greeted Meng Yiguang.

Meng Yiguang nodded. “Where are Secretary Meng and Mayor Jiang.”

A staff quickly replies. “Mayor Jiang will be here soon, and Secretary Meng went to the Province yesterday.”

Meng Yiguang nodded. “Let’s go to the meeting room.” He said and walked towards the office building with the County leaders following behind.

Some of the staff looked behind Meng Yiguang and saw Dong Xuebing. There was no one else, and they knew he was the new County leader. They were shocked.

Young….

This guy should be in his twenties at most.

Because Zhen Sui County was too far, only a few leaders knew a capable and young leader would be transferred to their county. However, Dong Xuebing’s resume only states his achievement briefly. Saving others during the earthquake. It’s normal for government staff to save a few people in a disaster. Saving others from drowning is also expected; his resume did not state how long he was underwater. Other than Fen Zhou City people, only a handful knows about him. That’s why no one thinks much about his results. They only focus on his age. Dong Xuebing was the youngest Deputy Division Chief in their province.

A few staff members upstairs saw Dong Xuebing and discussed it among themselves.

At this moment, a slim figure walked out of the building. Dong Xuebing’s heart skipped a beat when he saw her body. High heels, tight pants, and a blouse. He knew this person must be a beauty without looking at her face. He looked up, and his heart almost stopped. This woman looked like she was in her thirties and had a special aura. She could grab everyone’s attention, and Dong Xuebing was one of them. He did not expect to meet such a beautiful woman in an impoverished place.

Meng Yiguang smiled. “Mayor Jiang.”

The woman walked over. “Sorry to keep you waiting. I was in a meeting.”

Meng Yiguang replied. “It’s fine. Let me introduce myself first. This is Dong Xuebing.” He turned to Dong Xuebing. “This is Zhen Shui County Mayor, Jiang Fangfang.”

Mayor?

This woman is the Mayor?!

Dong Xuebing did not show any expression and shook her hand. “Nice to meet you, Mayor Jiang. I am new here, and please take care of me.” Just a year ago, he had to shake a County Mayor’s hand with both hands respectfully. But now, he does not need to do that.

Jiang Fangfang looked at Dong Xuebing for a second and shook his hand. “Secretary Meng had gone to the Province to get funding. I welcome you on behalf of Zhen Shui County and the County Party Committee.”

Jiang Fangfang’s hand is thin and smooth.

Dong Xuebing could smell her scent, and she smelled good.

Dong Xuebing does not want to let go of her hand. He will be working with her in the County Government, which is better than working with old men.

“Is the meeting room ready?” Meng Yiguang asked.

Jiang Fangfang nodded. “Almost all the leaders are here.”

“Secretary Meng cannot return in time?”

“I called him, and he will not be back today.”

“Alright. I will read the appointment order first.”

Everyone entered the old meeting room.
