First day of Lunar New Year...
The second day of Lunar New Year...
The third day of Lunar New Year...
After a few days of celebration, the Governnt service returned to work.
Today is Dong Xuebing’s first day of work.
Dong Xuebing woke up early in the morning and stood in front of the mirror to check his dressing. He adjusted his collar several tis and decided not to wear a tie. He will look too serious if he wears a tie. On his way out of the bathroom, he saw two cockroaches in a corner. He imdiately stepped on them, picked up the dead roaches with toilet paper, and flushed them away.
Dong Xuebing is particular with roaches and went out to call the County Party Committee Quarters’ guardroom. He wants to get them to arrange pest control personnel to get rid of these pests. If these cockroaches are not killed, they might crawl all over him at night.
After hanging up, Dong Xuebing’s phone rang.
Dong Xuebing looked at the caller display and answered. “Sister Xie.”
Xie Huilan laughed. “Yes. I just finished washing up. What about you? Are you ready for your new role?”
“Yes. I am prepared to go all out!” Dong Xuebing replied energetically.
“Haha... it’s good to be motivated. But I still need to remind you. You can choose whether if you want to listen. It’s up to you.” Xie Huilan is sharing her experiences. “I know you had not done anything related to investnt promotions, and you do not know anything about the work there. But you are the Head of that departnt, and you don’t need to do everything yourself. You don’t need to go out to find investors. It should be the opposite. Your task is the settle the internal affairs, control your people, set a direction, and let your staff do what they are supposed to do. This way, you can attract investnts. If your staff does not even follow your orders, how are you going to get investnts?”
Dong Xuebing listened attentively. “I will take note of this.”
“Haha... you better rember this. You had always been ignoring my advice.”
“No... I am serious.” Dong Xuebing replied. “I know I am inexperienced in the governnt service, and this is the first ti I am the head of a departnt. With your advice, I know what I should do. Sister Xie, please guide along if you see doing sothing wrong.”
Xie Huilan laughed. “Don’t be too modest. Your violent way of doing things is not that bad too. You had joined the governnt service for a year and a half and can achieve good results. No one can say you are not capable. How many people are politically mature at your age? Even my father did not reach your level at your age.”
“Huh? How can you compare with your father?”
“Just look for if you face any problems. I might not be able to teach you, but we can discuss it.”
“Sure. I have sothing to discuss with you now.”
“... What is it?”
“My apartnt is infested with cockroaches. I had gotten a pest control company to spray insecticide, and the sll should remain at night. I don’t think I can sleep at ho tonight.”
“Then what do you want to do?”
“Err... can I sleepover at your place tonight?”
“Haha... ok.”
“... really?”
“Of course. Haha... if you are promoted to Deputy Director now, not only I will let you stay at my place. I will even sleep with you.”
Dong Xuebing felt his heart racing. “Don’t worry. I will do a good job in Investnt Promotion Agency!”
Xie Huilan smiled and replied. “Work hard. I am waiting for you on my bed.”
Dong Xuebing is afraid if he listens to Xie Huilan’s seductive words any longer, he will have no mood to go to work. He quickly says goodbye and hangs up. After confirming their wedding, their relationship improved a lot. During the past few days, they chatted on the phone once or twice a day. Of course, Dong Xuebing did not forget about Qu Yunxuan. He also calls and speaks to her every day. Dong Xuebing is going all out to get married to Xie Huilan and Qu Yunxuan. He must do a good job in the Investnt Promotion Agency and get promoted!
Deputy Director!
......
Morning. 9 am.
The sun is up, and everywhere on the streets are firecracker wrappers. The Lunar New Year’s celebration is not over, and so children are still letting off firecrackers by the roads. Red banners and lanterns are hung up everywhere along the streets.
Investnt Promotion Agency.
The Investnt Promotion Agency is located near the County People’s Square. The comrcial street is only a few streets away.
In the past, when Dong Xuebing drove past, he will shake his head. The Investnt Promotion Agency’s building is too rundown. Behind the gates, the compound can only park seven to eight cars. This place is too small. The building is four stories built during the early 1980s. Dong Xuebing’s first impression of this place is poverty.
This is Dong Xuebing’s departnt. It’s too pathetic.
Dong Xuebing turned into the building on the uneven road.
The guardroom’s Old Wang saw Dong Xuebing’s rcedes Benz and imdiately stood up. He knows the owner of this car is the newly appointed Chief.
Inside the compound.
Dong Xuebing parked his car under a tree and alighted. He looked around and did not walk towards the office building. He strolled around the front porch to familiarize himself with the surroundings. It’s almost ti for work, and many bicycles are parked at the bicycle shack. An old Santana and a few other cars are parked in front of the building. Most of the staff mbers and leaders had arrived.
A few minutes later, Dong Xuebing entered the office building.
The inside of the building is also shabby.
At the reception area, two staff mbers, a man and a woman were chatting happily.
Dong Xuebing did not want to reprimand them as it’s still Lunar New Year, and the staff needs so ti to adjust their mindset.
Suddenly, the woman saw Dong Xuebing walking in. She was about to ask him for his purpose for coming, but she recognized him. “Chief Dong!” The staff mber, besides the woman, was stunned. They had seen Dong Xuebing’s photograph on their noticeboard and quickly greet him. after that, they pretended to be organizing their docunts and working hard.
Dong Xuebing nodded to them and walks up the stairs.
There is only one office building in the Investnt Promotion Agency.
The first floor is the reception area and consulting area. The second floor is the Business Section One and Business Section Two offices. Their job is to get investors to invest in the County. The internal offices doing the back office works and internal affairs, including the finance departnt, are located on the third floor. The promotional materials, data collection, filing, etc. are also on the third floor. The top floor is Dong Xuebing, the Chief of the Agency, office, and two eting rooms.
The Investnt Promotion Agency here cannot be compared to other governnt agencies. The governnt in other Counties is more comprehensive. They have the General Affairs Section, Inspection Section, Finance departnt separated from the Investnt Promotion Agency. In Yan Tai County, the various departnts have to take care of these duties themselves. The Investnt Promotion Agency from other Counties have dozens of offices all over China. Still, Yan Tai County’s Investnt Promotion Agency has less than ten offices. This shows that the Investnt Promotion Agency has not been performing well in the past, and the County Governnt had lost confidence in them. Compared to so other counties, which had attracted a hundred million and billions of investnts annually, Yan Tai County is performing too badly. They could not even get 200 million of investnt.
First floor...
Second floor...
Third floor...
Dong Xuebing walks around every floor to observe the working environnt and staff attitude. He walked softly and did not attract any attention.
In the end, Dong Xuebing is unsatisfied with his staff’s attitude.
Dong Xuebing thought it was only a one-off incident at the reception area. But he realized the whole Investnt Promotion Agency, including the Business Section One and Business Section Two teams, are all slacking. Everyone seems to have nothing to do, and so were chatting, reading newspapers...
Dong Xuebing frowned.
Dong Xuebing is frowning is not because the staff is not working. He is pissed because of their attitude!
All the Investnt Promotion Agency staff should know today is Dong Xuebing’s first day, and they should be putting up their best performance. Instead, they are chatting and lazing around. They are not working seriously and disrespecting the leaders! They are not respecting !
If the staff have not to respect , how am I going to work properly?
If I cannot work properly, how will I improve the Investnt Promotion Agency’s result?
If I don’t have any result, how am I going to get promoted to Deputy Director?
If I cannot get promoted to Deputy Director, how will I get married to Xie Huilan and Qu Yunxuan?
Damn! You all are trying to ruin my marriage! Dong Xuebing is furious. He had been thinking about his marriage, and his first thought after seeing his staff’s attitude is he will never get married in his life!
