Chapter 465 – Malingering!



Chapter 465 – Malingering!

Tuesday morning.

It is a gloomy day and started drizzling.

Dong Xuebing was in his office when he received information that Xiang Daofa called for a Party Committee Meeting to discuss the investment fair. His face immediately changed as he did not expect this old bastard to make a move against him so fast.

Half an hour passed.

One hour passed.

Ring… ring… ring… Hu Silian called Dong Xuebing on his mobile phone.

Dong Xuebing has been waiting by his phone and quickly answer it. “Hello, Sister Hu.”

“The Party Committee Meeting had just ended.” Hu Silian said in a low voice. “Mayor Xie was preparing for the County Government meeting and asked me to call you.”

“How was it?”

“It is as expected. Secretary Xiang brought up your relationship with Mayor Xie and wants to transfer you to another department. But Mayor Xie refused. She said you are the only person who is capable of leading the Investment Promotion Agency, and this matter was left hanging.” Hu Silian had summarized it, but the meeting was intense. Xie Huilan had shown a firm attitude for the first time, and Secretary Xiang had no choice but to give up transferring Dong Xuebing.

I am not transferred away?!

Dong Xuebing is relieved. It’s great to be not transferred, but why did Xiang Daofa give in so easily?

“But…” Hu Silian continued. “Although your position is not changed, … because Mayor Xie is the overall in charge of investment fair, it will attract gossips. With her being the overall in charge and you do all the actual work… that’s why the Party Committee decided to let someone take over you.”

Dong Xuebing’s face changed. “Who will be taking over this investment fair?”

Hu Silian replied. “Your Deputy Chief Lui Dafa had requested a transfer because he is deeply affected by his wife’s incident, and Secretary Xiang had approved it. Lui Dafa will be transferred to the County’s Political Consultative Conference, and his current position will be taken over by a guy call Jia Yan. Secretary Xiang and the committee members decided this through votings. He is the City’s Investment Promotion Agency’s Deputy Chief and will be in charge of this investment fair.

Lui Dafa resigned from his current position?

Even the Deputy Chief is confirmed?

Xiang Daofa is too much. Even I don’t know about these as the Agency’s Chief! Do you think you rule this County by yourself?!

Needless to ask, this Jia Yan must be Xiang Daofa’s man and is planted in the Agency to watch Dong Xuebing. Although Dong Xuebing dislikes this arrangement, he cannot do anything about it. This is an exchange, or a compromise, by Xie Huilan to let Dong Xuebing holds on to his position, and this is the best outcome.

“When is the reporting to work?” Dong Xuebing asked.

“Because the investment fair is starting soon, he should be reporting this afternoon.”

Dong Xuebing took a deep breath. “That means even I must listen to him during this period?”

“No.” Hu Silian replied. “But this investment fair… the Party Committee had given Jia Yan the authority to be the final decision maker.”

Isn’t this the same?

Does this mean the new Deputy Chief can step all over Dong Xuebing?!

Although Dong Xuebing knew this is the best outcome, he is still furious. After hanging up with Hu Silian, he called Xie Huilan.

Ring… ring…

Xie Huilan answered the call calmly. “Haha… my meeting is starting soon. What do you want to say?”

“Huilan.” Dong Xuebing replied. “I am impressed. How can you still laugh now? I had not expect to remain in my position, and I don’t mind someone taking over the investment fair. But who is that Jia Yan? He doesn’t even know about the work in our Investment Promotion Agency, and he is going to handle the investment fair?”

“I had raised this point as an objection. But Secretary Jia said Jia Yan had been involved in planning the City’s investment fair and is more experienced than everyone in your Agency. That’s why transferring Jia Yan over from the City is the right thing for the investment fair. He also says that Jia Yan can easily take on the role after a few days.”

“Bullshit! This is trying to snatch the credit!” Dong Xuebing shouted. “I had set up everything, and we will be signing a major contract worth almost 100 million during that fair. After working so hard for so many days, he is just coming over to claim all the credit? What the hell is Xiang Daofa thinking? This is too scheming. Changing the leader last minute to claim the credit for himself?! Is this his vision of the overall situation?!”

Even if Dong Xuebing is not involved in the planning of the investment fair, he will still get some credit for it. But Jia Yan will be credited for planning and organizing the fair, and he will get the biggest credit. The report will state that he got Park Yongxi’s investment, and Dong Xuebing and the rest had only participated in it. Xiang Daofa will also be credited for this success.

Xie Huilan paused for a second and said. “Some people think the Investment Promotion Agency’s job is easy. Before you took over the Agency, who dares to take over the Agency Chief job? Why? It is tough, and Yan Tai County’s economic environment is behind the other Counties. But after the Agency showed some results, all these people want to get credit for it. Haha… This is wishful thinking… It’s not easy to get credit without doing anything.”

Dong Xuebing heard Xie Huilan’s tone and asked. “What is your plan?”

Xie Huilan slowly replied. “In the past, our Yan Tai County’s investment fair had difficulties in getting investments and investors to participate. The investment they raised from the fair is also pathetic. No one wants to be appointed to organize it. These people can only see the Agency is showing some results. Still, they had forgotten about the previous investment fairs’ results. Haha… Then I will remind them and see if they can get the credit from the Agency without you!”

Dong Xuebing got shocked. “You want me to give up?”

“Didn’t you tell me that you have not been well?” Xie Huilan laughed. “Go to the hospital for a full checkup.”

Damn!

Xie Huilan is asking me to feign sick!
