Afternoon.
Dong Xuebing looks at the ti and its lunch break.
An Office Departnt staff knocked on the door and entered Dong Xuebing’s office to deliver a docunt. Dong Xuebing said to him. “Help get Director Zhou to co to my office.”
“Yes.” That staff left.
A while later, Zhou Yanru knocked and entered Dong Xuebing’s office. “Director, are you looking for ?”
Dong Xuebing looked at Zhou Yanru and laughed. “What’s wrong? You look listless.”
Zhou Yanru forced a smile. “I’m fine. I am not feeling well.”
“Then you should take care of your health.”
“Yes. I appreciate your concern.”
Dong Xuebing knows the reason why Zhou Yanru becos like this. She has nothing to do. It might be fine for soone with no ambitions. But it’s torture for soone ambitious like Dong Xuebing. He needs to get results, but there’s no work to do, and he doesn’t want to spend the rest of his life like this. He can tell Zhou Yanru is also an ambitious person. That’s why he felt apologetic towards her for causing this situation. He had implicated everyone in the Subdistrict Office and caused Guang Ming Subdistrict to be ‘blacklisted.’
Dong Xuebing is determined to change the situation as it is no longer about him. He created this ss, and he needs to be responsible for it. He must lead Guang Ming Subdistrict to achieve sothing great, or he will disappoint himself, his subordinates, and the residences.
Dong Xuebing looked at Zhou Yanru with determination. “You should take a break if you are not feeling well. I asked you to ask you about our Subdistrict’s internal e-newspaper. I rember we have sothing like this.”
Zhou Yanru is puzzled. “Internal e-newspaper?”
“Don’t we have it?” Dong Xuebing asked. “I overheard about this from so staff.”
Guang Ming Subdistrict doesn’t have many staffs, and it’s not directly under the City Governnt. It is also not an important departnt, and they can’t have their e-newspaper.
Zhou Yanru thought for a while and realized what Dong Xuebing was referring to. “Are you talking about our Subdistrict Office’s website bulletin?”
“Where is it? Let see.”
Zhou Yanru walked over to Dong Xuebing’s PC and opened their Subdistrict Office’s website. “This is our Subdistrict’s website which was set up last year. Two of our Work Party Office staff are in charge of updating our Subdistrict Office’s latest news for internal circulation. You can also call this our internal newspaper.” The site's header states Guang Ming Subdistrict, and it looks like any other governnt website.
This is what Dong Xuebing is looking for. The site has all the announcents from the various Subdistrict departnts and neighborhood committees. Most of the news is positive news and seldom has negative ones. But this is not enough for him. “Does this e-newsletter have printed copies?”
“Yes.” Zhou Yanru doesn’t know why Dong Xuebing wants to look at this. “This newsletter is updated once a week on average, and it will be pasted on the noticeboard at our Service Lobby. Sotis it will be updated once every three days, and sotis every two weeks.
Yes. This is it.
Dong Xuebing reply imdiately. “Print an extra copy and deliver it to my office from now on.”
“No problem.” Zhou Yanru smiled. “I will inform them when I get back.”
Dong Xuebing nodded. “Oh, tell those people in charge of the website to publish a new copy of it within these two days and bring it to my office before office hours.” He looked at his desk and opened the first drawer on his right. He will place his cigarettes and lighters in it, and it’s empty most of the ti. “Here. Tell them to place it in this drawer when they deliver it.”
Zhou Yanru was puzzled, but she still nodded. “Ok.”
Dong Xuebing asked Zhou Yanru to return to work after giving her the instructions.
It was lunchti, but Dong Xuebing did not go downstairs for lunch. He touched the drawer on his right and thought about his instructions to Zhou Yanru.
There should not be any problems, and Dong Xuebing believes Zhou Yanru will take his words seriously.
The next issue…. The next’s next issue…. The issue after that…. All these issues should appear in this drawer. Alright. Let’s start.
Dong Xuebing cleared his mind and took a deep breath.
He focused on that drawer a few monts later and gently placed his hand on it.
FORWARD.
FORWARD is activated, and Dong Xuebing can feel his remaining ti getting lesser.
Dong Xuebing is taking a huge gamble this ti. He will use up all the ti he saved over the past few weeks, hoping to find an opportunity to break the stalemate.
Ten minutes passed.
Thirty minutes passed.
Dong Xuebing sat in his office without moving. He looks frozen in place with one hand on the drawer. Suddenly, he felt FORWARD was deactivated. He must have used up all his remaining ti. One minute of FORWARD is equivalent to one day, and he should have pushed forward the ti to more than one month.
It’s ti to see the results.
This must not go wrong.
Dong Xuebing pulled open the empty drawer nervously.
A copy of the printed e-newspaper is in the drawer.
Success!
It worked!
Dong Xuebing glanced at the header and the date on the top right corner.
This is more than one month later copy!
Dong Xuebing is overjoyed. He crossed his legs and looked at the headlines with anticipation. But his excitent was gone when he saw the headline, and he almost fell off his chair.
Damn!
Are you joking with ?!
Dong Xuebing felt he damn unlucky. The bold red headline states the earthquake in Fen Zhou City is anded to 8.0 on the Richter scale!
