Morning.
A little past nine.
In the courtyard.
Dong Xuebing went out twice, buying groceries, at, and mahjong sets. After all the hustle and bustle, he was drenched in sweat. If it were the younger generation coming, Dong Xuebing wouldn't have gone to such lengths; they could manage things themselves. But when his mother-in-law and wife's aunts were coming, Dong Xuebing naturally couldn't afford to be negligent. He always cared about his reputation and etiquette, especially towards the elders; he couldn't allow them to find fault with him.
The shopping was done.
Most of the chores were taken care of.
Dong Xuebing checked the ti and estimated the travel ti from Huilan's family villa to here. If there were no traffic, it would be quick. He walked out of the courtyard gate and sat outside.
"Oh, Xiaodong." The neighbor, Sister Ci, happened to co out.
Dong Xuebing greeted her with a smile, "Sister Ci, are you going shopping for groceries?"
Aunt Ci nodded, "Yes, getting them before the market closes. What about you?"
Dong Xuebing replied, "My mother-in-law is coming. I'm waiting outside."
Sister Ci smiled aningfully, "Mother-in-law? You should wait for her." Suddenly rembering sothing, she pointed ahead, "By the way, is that Land Rover in the alley yours?"
Dong Xuebing glanced over and nodded, "Yes."
Sister Ci exclaid, "I don't understand, but I heard that's an expensive car worth millions. Why aren't you driving the Xiali?"
Dong Xuebing shrugged, "It got damaged, so I replaced it with another car."
Sister Ci chuckled, "Next ti, let also ride in your Land Rover."
"No problem, I'm on break these days, you can take the keys whenever you want." Dong Xuebing was generous like that.
Five minutes...
Ten minutes...
Twenty minutes...
An Audi A8 slowly drove into the alley.
Dong Xuebing's eyesight was sharp, and he imdiately stood up to greet them.
The car stopped, the door opened, and Han Jing, Xia Yanzhen, and Ci Lifen got out.
"Mom, Auntie, Second Auntie, you all are here?" Dong Xuebing saw they were carrying stuff and couldn't help but walk a few steps to take it. "Why are you still carrying things? They're so heavy. Give them to ."
Auntie Xia Yanzhen laughed, "You've moved, and it's our first ti here. We have to bring sothing."
Dong Xuebing waved his hand. "No need to bring anything; it's just changing places. Look at how polite you are with . But speaking of it, my ho is your ho. Whenever you want to co over, just co. I still have rooms. I'll move out when you co. It's all our ho."
Aunt Xia Yanzhen tenderly smiled, "Look at Xiao Dong speaking so well. You must vacate a room for when I need to entertain my colleagues."
Dong Xuebing laughed, "Are you making fun of ? It's a small matter. Not only will I vacate a room for you, but I'll also prepare cigars and alcohol."
Ci Lifen also smiled, "Only Xiao Dong knows how to handle things in our family. Huilan, Xiao Ran, and Xiao Hao can't compare."
"That's right." Xia Yanzhen looked at the smiling Han Jing, "I envy you, Sister-in-law. Xiao Dong would make such a good son-in-law."
Han Jing laughed and glanced at her, "Yan Zhen, don't talk nonsense and let the kids laugh. Sun Kai isn't bad, such a good young man."
Xia Yanzhen smiled, "Sun Kai is indeed good, just lacking in skills."
Han Jing disagreed, pointing at Dong Xuebing, "Co on, what's the use of skills? Look at this kid. He was sent ho for reflection, given disciplinary action, and has been at ho for a week. He's always making worry and causing trouble, that's what counts."
Dong Xuebing felt awkward and quickly changed the subject, saying, "Please co in, please co in. Take a look at the courtyard, all of you."
Han Jing patted him on the back of his head, not criticizing him further, and entered the courtyard with Xia Yanzhen and Ci Lifen. They turned a corner and ca into the yard.
"Wow, it's so spacious."
"The yard is quite large."
"The house looks nice, really good."
Seeing this, the three of them nodded repeatedly, looking very pleased.
While they looked around, Dong Xuebing went inside to make tea. He brought cups of tea one by one and finally brought out the mahjong set and spread it on the table.
"Would you like so water?" Dong Xuebing asked.
Han Jing said, "No thanks, not thirsty."
Ci Lifen smiled, "Let's play mahjong."
"Okay, let's play and chat." Xia Yanzhen said.
The four sat at the stone table, shuffled the tiles, drew tiles, and started playing mahjong.
anwhile, Dong Xuebing was very concerned about the situation in the unit. After playing a tile, he looked up and asked, "Mom, what's the situation with the departnt restructuring?"
Han Jing nodded slightly, drew a tile, looked at it, and discarded it as useless before saying, "It's confird. Your dad attended the eting yesterday, and everything has been settled."
Dong Xuebing blinked, "Which departnts are being restructured?"
Han Jing said, "This ti, the changes are quite significant. It's also the largest organizational adjustnt the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection has made recently. People from all walks of life are paying close attention to it, so the higher-ups are very cautious. Only the proposals have been finalized. The specific implentation will co a month later, and the timing hasn't been decided yet. Mainly, it involves your eight supervisory offices. In this organizational restructuring, the number of disciplinary inspection offices responsible for handling specific cases has increased from 8 to 20, strengthening frontline anti-corruption efforts. Additionally, party conduct and governnt integrity supervision offices and law enforcent and efficiency supervision offices have been established to enhance supervision and improve work styles and administrative efficiency."
Dong Xuebing said, "So, there will be a few more departnts?"
"No. So are being rged," Han Jing said. "The Party Conduct and Rectification Office has rged with the Rectification Office to form the Party Conduct and Governnt Integrity Supervision Office, and the Law Enforcent Supervision Office and Performance Managent Supervision Office will be rged to form the Law Enforcent and Efficiency Supervision Office. The additions and subtractions offset each other, and the internal departnt of the Discipline Inspection Departnt remains at 27."
Dong Xuebing thought for a mont. "So, our eight supervisory offices have beco ten. What about the additional responsibilities of the two new supervisory offices? Which province will they share?"
"It's unrelated to your office," Han Jing replied. "The fifth office, responsible for handling cases in the southwest and northwest regions, has been split. It will now only handle cases in the southwest region, while a newly established ninth office will handle cases in the northwest region. Similarly, the sixth office will now only handle cases in Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, and Shanxi; the newly established tenth office will handle cases in the three northeastern provinces and the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. In other words, the fifth and sixth offices have been shared a bit. Your eighth supervisory office hasn't changed much, but with the establishnt of two new offices, so personnel will definitely be transferred, and there will also be leadership positions to fill. Hence, it's not completely unrelated to your office. I estimate that each supervisory office will have so personnel changes."
