Hearing the doorbell ring, Xu Yan grabbed a piece of clothing and put it on her shoulders. She looked down at the damp pajamas and said sideways: "Xiao Dong, are you waiting in my room?"
"Okay, please wear another piece so you don't catch a cold."
Xu Yan agreed, walked out and closed the bedroom door.
Dong Xuebin knew that Director Xu asked him to hide. She was covered in sweat in her pajamas. If people saw that she was there, it would be inevitable that some rumors would spread. No matter how big the age difference was, it was always a bit awkward for a man and a woman to live together in the same room.
That is very taboo in officialdom.
Click, the sound of the door opening came from outside.
"Oh, Lao Song, have you just finished get off work?"
"I heard that you are sick. How about coming over and taking a look?"
"Much better, come in first, sit by yourself, I won't greet you."
In the bedroom, Dong Xuebin sat on the bed and listened. The voice of a middle-aged man sounded familiar. When he thought of the surname Lao Song, Dong Xuebin immediately remembered that it was Song Shoujie, from Chengxi Guoan.
The secretary of the branch's discipline inspection team is an old classmate of Xu Yan and has a good personal relationship. When Dong Xuebin was still in the general office, Xu Yan and Song Shoujie both helped him a lot.
Just listen to Song Shoujie say: "You have a fever? Are you the only one at home?"
"Well, I just woke up and my fever is almost gone."
Song Shoujie sighed, "Yanzi, you can't do this. There is no one at home when you are so sick. It's time for you to think about finding a companion. We are not young at all. The older we get, the more dangerous it is. My daughter
Even though I’m disappointed, I’m still by my side at least. What about you? Who will care about you when you are too old to walk? Don’t you hate hearing this? We have been friends for many years, so I will tell you this.
explain."
Xu Yan shook her head and said, "It's good to be alone. Let's just make do with it. Now I've looked away. I'm counting my fingers. How many more years can I live? Just let nature take its course."
Song Shoujie heard her low mood and frowned, "The transfer... didn't happen?"
Xu Yan sighed, "It's not that easy. The environment in Fenzhou City is very complicated. Although I have established some connections here, there are more people than me who have the means. So far, I have heard that at least three people are keeping an eye on people there.
He is older than me and has a rich background. Anyway, I don’t have any hope. Not only are we across the province, but there is also a gap of two grids in terms of positions. According to normal procedures, I want to be the top leader there.
He has to be a full-time political commissar, or at least the first deputy director. It’s not like you don’t know my rank in the bureau. It’s too difficult to figure it out.”
Song Shoujie pondered, "How about a deputy bureau?"
"Originally, that's what I thought. At least I'll get out of the Chengxi Branch first. But it's not that easy for the deputy bureau. But the deputy political commissar hopes to be bigger."
"Hey, I don't know why you and Zhen Anguo are so at odds."
"It's already like this. It's useless to say anything. He Zhen Anguo insists on making trouble for me. At worst, I will fight with him. I, Xu Yan, am not an easy persimmon!"
"You're still young, so it's best to work at the grassroots level for development, but don't break the rules."
"I'd like to, but if I want to be demoted to serve as deputy political commissar... oh... where will I retire later?"
Song Shoujie stopped talking. If he wasn't an actual deputy director, he might as well stay here. The system of national security is similar to that of the public security. Although the deputy director and deputy political commissar have the same level, their positions and powers are completely different.
They are basically two concepts.
When talking about this matter, Xu Yan felt bitter. Just like what he and Dong Xuebin said, she had a hard time with the branch in recent days. Chief Zhen was suppressing her, and the people below her were not listening to the orders, which almost made Xu Yan invisible.
Even some small fish and shrimps dared to challenge her. This time Xu Yan suddenly fell ill. Firstly, her son had not visited her for two months, and secondly, she was in trouble at work.
She was in an extremely bad mood and suffered multiple tortures, which made her feel so dizzy when she woke up this morning that she could hardly get out of bed.
Song Shoujie knew Xu Yan's suffering and didn't know what to say.
After chatting for a while, he said: "Yanzi, come to my place for dinner and let your sister-in-law cook two more dishes."
"Forget it, I'll sleep for a while, and you should go back early."
"Then if you have anything to do, call me. If you can't go to the hospital, don't get yourself crushed." A few minutes later, Song Shoujie went out.
Xu Yan sighed softly, closed the door, turned around and tightened her waistcoat.
As soon as the door of the cabin opened, Dong Xuebin walked out of the bedroom. He heard what he just said. Seeing that Xu Yan didn't look very good, Dong Xuebin felt a little distressed. He felt that he had to make the old leader happy. He couldn't see the sad face of a woman.
He looked like, "Haha, old leader, I just didn't have a chance to say, what, I have some bad news for you, can I say it now?" he joked.
Xu Yan smiled and said, "Is there not enough bad news these days? Tell me, I'm used to it anyway."
Dong Xuebin cleared his throat and said, "You may have to leave Beijing, and it will be inconvenient to meet your family in the future."
"Huh?" Xu Yan was stunned for a moment. Before she could figure out what she meant, her phone rang, "Xiao Dong, please wait a moment. I'll answer the phone."
An old man's voice came from the other end of the phone, "Haha, Yanzi, you're leaving without even telling me?"
Xu Yan was stunned again, "Second uncle, are you leaving? Who is leaving?"
Her second uncle smiled heartily and said: "Even your second uncle is hiding this? You girl is really tight-lipped. Although I have retired for several years, I still have a few old friends. I know what you want to do.
Well, you should pay more attention to your health when you get down here. You can go back to Beijing when you have time, it’s not far anyway.”
Xu Yan took a breath, "I'm going to move? Who did you listen to?"
Her second uncle was slightly stunned, "...you don't know?"
Xu Yan said inexplicably: "I haven't heard of it. Is it a mistake?"
"That's strange. You don't know who you are trusting? No one told you?" Her second uncle couldn't laugh or cry: "You silly girl is really lucky. Let me put it this way, your transfer has been decided.
, Director of the Fenzhou City National Security Bureau, the top leader, jumped two boxes in a row, this is an inter-provincial and inter-district transfer, which has rarely been done in the national security system before, you need to be punished."
Xu Yan took a breath, "Are you sure? I really don't know!"
Her second uncle said: "I'm sure, it's you. The appointment letter should be sent out this week or next week. You girl, you are really confused. If you really don't know, then some noble person helped you."
, I heard that the local government of Fenzhou City directly named your name Xu Yan, and that attitude was absolutely unacceptable to you. Because of the matter regarding the previous director, the provincial department and the superiors still took the opinions of the local government into consideration, and later met with the local
The attitude is so clear, so I let go, otherwise the provincial department originally wanted to transfer someone from the department, but you would have snatched it away, haha..."
Hearing this, Xu Yan still couldn't believe it. She had done it several times before, but it had no effect. Why did it suddenly happen?
Do you have to go there by yourself when the local government calls the roll call?
Xu Yanxin said when did she have such great dignity?
"Yanzi, hurry up and find out who helped you, and thank them properly. That person must have done a lot for you. You, you are really lucky this time."
After hanging up the line, Xu Yan put her phone on the table absentmindedly and looked sideways at Dong Xuebin, with some excitement in her eyes. Xu Yan, the local government of Fenzhou City, didn't know anyone, but she just asked Dong Xuebin on the phone a while ago.
At that time, Xu Yan didn't have any hope. She just wanted to give it a try by treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor. Later, she didn't think much about it. But now it seems that except for Dong Xuebin, Xu Yan can no longer think of anything.
Who would help me like this?
Dong Xuebin said happily: "Old leader, congratulations."
"Is this the person you're looking for?"
"Well, I just contacted you, mainly because of Minister Yang's efforts. Ahem, I don't have that much face. Well, it's my mother's face."
After getting the affirmative answer, Xu Yan could no longer hold back the excitement in her heart, "Xiao Dong, what do you want me to say? This surprise is too big!" The threshold between deputy director and chief officer was stuck.
How many people did Xu Yan not expect that this transfer would actually happen? She would be transferred to the top position? This not only completely solved Xu Yan's current dilemma with the branch, but also made her reach the sky in one step. It was an extremely important turning point in her official career! This transfer is so valuable.
Big!
Xu Yan couldn't calm down at all, and squeezed Dong Xuebin's right hand tightly with both hands, "Thank you, Xiao Dong, thank you."
Seeing that the old leader was so happy, Dong Xuebin also smiled and said, "Don't be polite. When you come to our city in the future, if I get into trouble, I still expect you to protect me."
Xu Yan was really excited, and Xiao Dong was no outsider. She did not hide the emotions on her face. They sat on the sofa together. Xu Yan squeezed Dong Xuebin's hand and raised it, pressing her forehead against Dong Xuebin's.
Xuebin took a deep breath on the back of his hand. At the end, Xu Yan pulled his hand down, held his hand and gently kissed the bones on the back of Dong Xuebin's hand. It was fleeting, like Western etiquette.
Dong Xuebin's face suddenly felt hot, the back of his hands itched, and the touch of his lips was still there.
Let me go! You are killing me! Why are you kissing my hand?
Xu Yanxu also felt that it was too much, so she smiled and let go of his hand naturally, "Your old leader is too excited, haha, did it scare you kid?"
"Ahem, no, no."
After a while, Xu Yan calmed down, exhaled, and patted the back of Dong Xuebin's hand, exactly where she had just kissed him. She wiped away the remaining traces of lipstick there with a swipe of her hand.
He said, "Sit down, your old boss will show you his cooking skills today and reward you."
Dong Xuebin said hurriedly: "No, you are still sick."
Xu Yan smiled and said: "You have given me some good medicine, and any disease can be cured."
Dong Xuebin tried to stop her twice but didn't stop her, so he gave up with a wry smile.
