Chapter 576: Flattery!
Dong Xuebing went upstairs and knocked on the Executive Deputy Mayor Shen Fei’s office. He entered after he heard, “Come in.”
Shen Fei looks at Dong Xuebing. “Sit.”
Shen Fei is not old and is considered a young leader.
Dong Xuebing did not sit. He smiles. “Mayor Shen, I need to apologize to you first. I am straightforward and didn’t think through before I spoke. I was rude, and my tone was harsh yesterday…. But my words are not targeting you.” This matter had been settled, and he is satisfied with winning Ping An Subdistrict. But he needs to improve his relationship with Shen Fei. He had talked back at him yesterday and needs to smooth things out.
Shen Fei waved his hand. “It’s alright. These are all work-related. Have a seat.”
“Ok.” Dong Xuebing sat in front of Shen Fei’s desk.
“Let’s talk now.” Shen Fei looks at Dong Xuebing. “I heard the Central Government Inspection Team had left last night.”
Dong Xuebing nodded. “I think they had gone to the next city for an inspection. I tried to get them to stay for another day but failed.”
“…… What about the nomination? How was it?”
“It should not be a problem. The Inspection Team seems to be satisfied with our Guang Ming Subdistrict’s Respect and Care for the elderly work.”
“Good.” Shen Fei continued. “You all must continue to work on it and not overlook any matters. Our target is not only the nomination. The District Government wants the award from the Central Government.”
“I understand. We will not let the District Government down.”
Shen Fei nodded. “That’s all. Go back to work.”
“I shall not disturb you anymore.”
“Oh, just call me anytime if you need any help.”
“Sure.”
…….
Morning.
Guang Ming Subdistrict Office.
“I thought something severe would happen and did not expect the District Office to have this attitude. “
“Our new Director is capable.”
“I had guessed it. The District Government will never ask us to give up and withdraw. This is impossible! Who doesn’t want to have double insurance?”
“I heard we might be selected for Hebei Province’s selection. But we don’t know if we can pass the Central Government’s final selection.”
“Who cares? Even if we were not selected, we won against Ping An Subdistrict. Hahaha….”
“Haha… that’s right.”
Dong Xuebing overheard the staff discussing this nomination and is speechless. How deep are their grudges against Ping An Subdistrict? All of them are gloating over Ping An Subdistrict’s failure to get selected. But he is in no position to criticize them. He had a grudge against Chu Qinghua, and he is snatching this nomination spot to get back at him. At the same time, he also wants to get the credit. He heard Chu Qinghua had fallen sick and did not report for work today.
Guang Ming Subdistrict is celebrating, and the Subdistrict Leaders are waiting to get this credit.
Many leaders went to look for Dong Xuebing in the morning to report on their work progress.
“Director, do we need to prepare the documents for the application? I will get my people to do it.”
“Director Dong, we have prepared our Subdistrict’s nursing homes’ past achievements. When should we report to the higher-ups?”
Guo Mingfeng and Yu Rongfeng had become enthusiastic about their work. Both of them volunteered to take over the follow-up work of the Respect and Care for the elderly role model unit award. Even Geng Xinke had stopped by Dong Xuebing’s office at 10 am. He asked about the District Government’s attitude and is monitoring this nomination closely.
Dong Xuebing laughed in his heart.
It’s too late now!
You all should have done this earlier.
When I said I wanted to snatch the nomination from Ping An Subdistrict, all of you tried to stop me. Some disagreed, and some reserved their views. Now, all of you are rushing forward to try to claim credit after I get the nomination. It is too late!
Dong Xuebing will not give these people the opportunity to claim this credit. If he can get the award, these people will also get the honor. He doesn’t want to allow them to claim the full credit and had decided the person in charge for this award.
Before noon.
Dong Xuebing called Party Office Director Zhou Yanru to his office.
Dong Xuebing asked. “Director Zhou, I need you to prepare the materials for the National Respect and Care for the elderly’s model unit award these few days.”
Zhou Yanru asked. “Did the higher-ups ask for it? Do you need me to finish it by today?”
“No.” Dong Xuebing waved his hand and laughed. “The higher-ups had not asked for it because the Inspection Team has not decided the last few names. It might take two to three days. But we must be prepared as these documents will be submitted to the Central Government if we are selected.” Everyone knows Guang Ming Subdistrict will be one of the finalists for Hebei Province. He had done Cheng Yandong a huge favor, and the latter will return the favor by selecting Guang Ming Subdistrict.
Zhou Yanru smiled. “I understand. I will try my best to get it done.”
“I am letting you handle this. Your Party Office Department will be in charge of the application and coordination work. Nothing must go wrong.” The Party Office Department is weak if the leader doesn’t give them authority. The Office Department oversees all of the Subdistrict Office’s matters, and they act like the Butler for the Director. They can interfere with every department, and Dong Xuebing wants to let his people claim more credit. Sister Zhou had joined his side on his first day and was very helpful to him.
“You don’t need to worry about anything if I am doing this task.” Zhou Yanru smiles. She is overjoyed. “I felt ashamed when I think about I tried to stop you from snatching the nomination that day. You have better foresight than me.”
Dong Xuebing laughed. “This flattery is too much. Hahaha…”
“I am speaking from my heart and is not a flattery.”
Dong Xuebing doesn’t mind Zhou Yanru’s flattery as it felt good.
