Dong Xuebin walked in and knocked on the ticket window.
As soon as the small window inside opened, "Where are we going?"
"Buy one to go to the provincial capital." Dong Xuebin said: "Where does the provincial capital stop?"
The conductor replied nonchalantly: "Stop at West Railway Station and get on the bus in front. I don't know when the next bus will come. Just wait and pay first."
Dong Xuebin paid the money and didn't get any tickets. It was just a torn piece of paper with a few words written by the conductor on it. It looked very informal, but Dong Xuebin didn't care. He knew that this was the case at the grassroots level.
There are so many choices for him to choose from in his lifetime. Besides, the taxi won't stop for him. Even if it did, he probably wouldn't go to the provincial capital. The distance is too far. The only option Dong Xuebin can choose now is long distance.
The bus left, so under the strange gaze of the conductor, Dong Xuebin walked over there to wait for the bus.
Pretty fast.
Five minutes later a car came and the long-distance bus stopped.
As soon as the door opened, Dong Xuebin got in and asked the driver: "Are you going to the provincial capital?"
"Yes." The driver looked at him strangely, frowning a little, "Bring me the ticket."
"Here." Dong Xuebin gave him the ticket, then patted the dirt on his clothes, strode into the car, and went to the back to find an empty seat.
There were many people in the car, and almost everyone looked at Dong Xuebin.
There's nothing I can do about it, this guy is covered in mud now, and he feels like he just came out of a construction site, as dirty as he wants.
Dong Xuebin didn't care. After these years of experience, Dong Xuebin has long become a very confident and even self-conscious person. People with low self-esteem may need some affirmation from society and the outside world, but often people who are truly self-conscious are
It is not necessary to rely on others' affirmation to help you find the value of your existence. This is how Dong Xuebin is now. He does not care about other people's eyes. It doesn't matter, he found a seat and sat down openly. As soon as he closed his eyes and fell asleep, he also found the value of his existence.
It's time to take a rest, after all, you've been working so hard all morning.
half an hour...
One hour...
The car drove into the provincial capital.
Looking out the window, it was quite busy near the station. Dong Xuebin smoothed his clothes. After the car stopped, he got off the car with the crowd.
By the way, it's Lao Fang's birthday today. You can't go empty-handed, right? Dong Xuebin still remembers that Fang Wenping gave his daughter Qianqian a longevity lock during the Chinese New Year. They were all little golden ones, each costing at least tens of thousands of yuan. Absolutely not
It was cheap. Dong Xuebin naturally wanted to appreciate it. He thought he had to buy something, so he glanced around for a long time and walked for a long time. Finally he found a watch shop. Originally, Dong Xuebin wanted to find a clothes shop first.
It's a place, but there really aren't any shopping malls nearby. They are all jewelry stores and food shops. This watch shop was only seen on a corner. After all, it can't be compared with the capital here, because the things are not that comprehensive.
This is an Omega store.
This brand of watches is not a top brand, but it is still in the first tier.
Dong Xuebin opened the door and walked in. The staff on the opposite side raised his head and said subconsciously: "Welcome, may I ask if you need..." At this point, he was stunned for a moment.
Another salesperson also looked over and was stunned.
Who is this person? He came here dressed like this? Isn’t he too dirty? Where did he get so much dirt on his body? Did you just come out of the mud?
But Dong Xuebin was very present and looked directly at the watch.
The quality of the staff of this high-end brand is quite good. They didn't say anything. After looking at each other, they still greeted Dong Xuebin perfunctorily. Of course. Hello, no one of them thought this person could afford it.
I guess this person just came here to get acquainted. They had seen many people like this in a day, so it was not surprising. Omega's domestic sales have surpassed Rolex's, and it is quite famous.
At this time, several more customers came in from outside. As soon as they walked inside, they all noticed Dong Xuebin, who was covered in dirt, and their eyes were drawn to him.
"Who is this?"
"Why did you come like this?"
"How about buying Omega?"
The faces of several people clearly showed speechlessness and contempt.
Dong Xuebin didn't see anything, and he didn't have time to pay attention to other people. Now he was thinking about what style of watch to choose for Fang Wenping. I remembered that Fang Wenping had a watch and often carried it on her hand. Dong Xuebin forgot what brand it was. It seemed that
It's Cartier, it's a first-tier brand anyway. The women's watches of this brand are very good, so it's harder to choose Dong Xuebin, because it's not suitable to buy one that's too expensive, and it's not as good as Fang Wenping's watch if you buy one that's too cheap.
, wouldn’t it be a waste if someone doesn’t wear it if he buys it for himself? Of course he chooses it carefully.
piece……
Three pieces...
Five yuan...
Dong Xuebin looked at each one.
There were customers coming from behind, so the two staff members went to greet them and ignored Dong Xuebin. After all, he looked more like someone who knew how to buy watches. Dong Xuebin’s outfit was really a bit off, let alone watches.
Okay, let alone watches of this brand like Omega, as far as Dong Xuebin is concerned, most people estimate that this guy won’t be able to afford it. However, Dong Xuebin’s stomach kept growling, and he really didn’t eat.
"What do you need?"
"Men's watch? Take a look at this one?"
"This is the 40,800, Seamaster series."
"How about taking a look at the Constellation series? This is a very popular one here."
The staff introduced the few customers who had just come in, and another staff member also went to greet another female customer.
Ring ring ring.
Dong Xuebin's cell phone rang. He took it out of his pocket with a dirty hand and saw that it was the director of the Urban Management Bureau... No, it should be the deputy county magistrate Huo Yibang calling now.
Dong Xuebin answered, "Hello, County Magistrate Huo?"
"Secretary, I really don't know how to thank you for this matter," Huo Yibang said.
Dong Xuebin said with a smile: "Come on, it's boring to say that, and didn't you treat me to dinner yesterday? Your appointment is next Monday, so you should make preparations then. I still have high expectations for you.
And you are an old comrade. I will have to ask you for advice in the future." The Municipal Standing Committee has approved Huo Yibang's appointment, and the appointment has been announced. Dong Xuebin can put his mind to rest, otherwise Huo Yibang's
If the appointment is really rejected by the city, Dong Xuebin's prestige will be affected, and he will not be able to explain to Huo Yibang and the comrades of the Urban Management Bureau. It is too embarrassing. Fortunately, as Dong Xuebin speculated, the city will
Li can't care about him now.
"You are serious, you are serious." Huo Yibang said hurriedly.
Dong Xuebin said: "I heard it's quite chaotic over there? Where is it at the work unit?"
Huo Yibang said: "There is no secretary. I have a day off today. Well, I am in Beijing at the 301 Hospital. I said I would take my child to see a doctor. Otherwise, if I get busy in the future, I am really afraid that I will not have time to come. So I took the time to see him first."
Look, if the child is not well, I can’t calm down.”
It is said that what Huo Yibang should do during this period is to have more contact with other cadres or leaders, which will definitely help him in his future work, but Huo Yibang did not. He took his child to see a doctor the day after he was appointed. It can be seen that
The position of children in his heart is actually what Dong Xuebin appreciates. He has always done this. He thinks that it is okay to be an official and be obsessed with officials, and it is okay to consider your own interests, but at least you have to do it.
Do you have a heart to serve the people and a minimum bottom line and sense of responsibility? Want to be promoted? Everyone is like this. This is not shameful and is human nature. On the contrary, an official without desire may be more problematic. Many things in history have
This proves that self-motivation is actually a good thing, as long as you retain the principle in your heart. As for Huo Yibang's current behavior, Dong Xuebin felt that this person was right, a person with a strong family
A person with a sense of responsibility will not degenerate even if he degenerates, at least that is what Dong Xuebin believes and thinks.
Dong Xuebin asked: "Are you already at the hospital?"
"Yes, the phone call you gave me back then, well, I was too embarrassed to call. I thought I'd tell you first." Huo Yibang was a little embarrassed.
Dong Xuebin heard it and said with a smile: "I told you last time, just call Dean Liu directly after you go there, just mention my name and say that I introduced you, and there is no need for much else.
What are you talking about? Of course there will be people over there who will take care of it for you. Don’t worry, there’s nothing to be embarrassed about. We are no longer outsiders. Are you still polite to me? If you are worried that they won’t give you face, this
It’s even more unnecessary. Just keep it in your heart, Dong Xuebin and I still have a little bit of face in the capital."
Huo Yibang said hurriedly: "Secretary, that's not what I meant."
Dong Xuebin smiled and said: "I know, my sister-in-law and children are here, right?"
"Yes, they are all nearby." Huo Yibang said: "We just arrived at Wukesong by plane."
"Okay, you can just go in. You don't need to register. Just call the number I gave you. If the hospital over there doesn't entertain you, come to me. Haha, I'll settle the score for them!" People in the capital love to brag, Dong said.
Xuebin is also used to this way of speaking, but it is with his wife and friends, with his subordinates and colleagues, but Dong Xuebin never blows the whistle. What he says is confident. It is true that every region has its own region.
living habits and language, but in the system, this is a place where people are relatively mixed and dispersed. A leadership team may have people from various places, local, northern, southern, etc., so I
Dong Xuebin tried his best not to bring local customs over here because he had to consider whether others would understand him or not.
The phone hung up.
Dong Xuebin continued to look at his watch.
But what he just said was also heard by the clerks and customers in the store, and they couldn't help but look at him in surprise. They might not understand the content, but they could hear the tone. A person with such a temperament and attitude could
, how could he be dressed in such a rustic style??
