Chapter 1343: First political achievement!
Chapter 1343: First political achievement!
Afternoon.
After 3 pm.
Dong Xuebing could finally take a break after working from morning until now. Jiang Fangfang and the other County Government leaders insisted he return to his apartment to rest. He took a bath to wash away his blood and changed his clothes.
Ahh…
Tired…
Dong Xuebing lay on the couch and smoked. He does not want to move.
He took a short nap, and his phone rang around 4 pm.
Dong Xuebing woke up and answered. “Hello?” It was Secretary Meng’s secretary, Zhang Feng.
Zhang Feng said. “Mayor Dong, Secretary Meng asked me to tell you to come to the Party Committee building if you are fine.”
“Huh? Did something happen?”
“No. It is about the Party Committee meeting.”
“Oh, ok. I will go now.”
Dong Xuebing grabbed his bag and drove to the Party Committee Building.
Party Committee Building meeting room.
Many of the Committee members were there when Dong Xuebing reached.
Discipline Inspection Secretary Pu An asked. “I heard you rescued a lot of people and almost fell off the building this morning. How are you now?”
Dong Xuebing smiled. “I am fine.”
“That’s good to hear.” Pu An replied.
Jian Xiangrong chatted with Dong Xuebing, too. His attitude was different from this morning.
Pu An and Jian Xiangrong were puzzled when Dong Xuebing proposed to repair and rebuild the family quarters during the morning meeting. Why did he make such a ridiculous proposal? They almost banged tables and scolded him. But the Public Security Bureau family quarters collapsed half an hour later. They realized Dong Xuebing’s ridiculous proposal coincided with this incident. It became a brilliant proposal.
A ridiculous idea turned into a brilliant proposal.
This incident almost killed the Meng Faction.
Pu An and Jian Xiangrong felt Dong Xuebing’s move was fantastic.
All dialogues in the Party Committee meeting are recorded and filed in the meeting minutes. The minutes will be submitted to the City Government and cannot be amended. The Meng Faction had opposed Dong Xuebing and Jiang Fangfang’s proposal during the meeting, and they are not in control now.
No… this is not about who is in control now.
The Meng Faction had lost.
The Meng Faction men looked at Dong Xuebing. They were looking terrible. Jiang Fangfang had to face the Meng Faction by herself in the past, and she had no hopes of winning. But after Dong Xuebing came, things started to improve for her. He became her vanguard, argued against all the committee members, and pulled Pu An and Jian Xiangrong to her side. They got a bigger say in the County, and today’s brilliant move suppressed the Meng Faction entirely.
This Dong Xuebing…
Where did this guy come from?
How could it be such a coincidence that the family quarters building collapsed?
Footsteps got nearer. Mayor Jiang arrived, and Secretary Meng arrived a while later. Secretary Zhang Feng closed the door.
The meeting room was quiet and felt tense.
Why did the building collapse?
How did it happen?
Why didn’t it collapse earlier or later? Why did it collapse immediately after Dong Xuebing and Mayor Jiang proposed it?
Everybody was puzzled and kept thinking about these questions. They still could not accept it.
Meng Rui sat down. He did not clear his throat before he talked like usual. He looked at everybody and said. “Let’s continue with this morning’s meeting. All of you know about the Public Security Bureau family quarters. The injured were sent to the hospital, and there were no serious injuries. Because the building did not collapse completely, most of the injured suffered minor injuries. Oh, I must praise Mayor Dong. Most of the injured were rescued by Mayor Dong. Everybody knows he was injured recently but still rushed into the building to rescue the residents. We must learn his spirit and courage from him.” Although Meng Rui praised Dong Xuebing, his tone did not sound like it.
Meng Rui was about to continue.
Jiang Fangfang interrupted by clapping.
Pu An and Jian Xianrong also clapped. The Meng Faction’s men had no choice but to clap unwillingly.
Dong Xuebing said. “It’s my duty…”
The applause stopped, and Meng Rui could continue. “Everyone saw it. Our government departments’ family quarters are old and lack maintenance. They are safety hazards.” He paused for a second and continued emotionless. Everyone knew he was willing to say these. “I agree with Mayor Jiang’s proposal to repair and rebuild our family quarters. I have no objections to Mayor Dong’s budget of 30 million RMB.”
30 million RMB…
The Meng Faction’s men were feeling the pinch.
This money was supposed to be used for their road repair proposal.
But they knew Secretary Meng had no choice. He was forced to agree, and the other Committee members had no opinions.
Meng Rui saw everyone had no objections and said. “We have 10 million RMB left. We will use 5 million RMB to relocate, compensate the victims, and keep the rest for emergencies. We will talk about the road repairs another time.”
Jiang Fangfang said slowly. “I agree.”
Pu An said. “This is a large project, and we need a leader. Since this is Mayor Jiang’s proposal, she should be responsible for this project.”
This was taking advantage of the situation.
He is not going to leave anything for the Meng Faction.
But what can Meng Rui do? He and his men objected to this proposal this morning, and he cannot be appointed in charge of this project. He said. “Mayor Jiang will lead the project, and Mayor Dong will be the deputy in charge.”
Dong Xuebing paused for a second and replied. “I will monitor this project closely.”
Meng Rui waved his hand weakly. “That’s all. Meeting dismissed.”
The Meng Faction’s men walked out listlessly. Some were angry, but they could not do anything. Mayor Ci had objected to this proposal this morning, and Secretary Meng could not let him be the deputy of this project. He can only let Dong Xuebing take up this position. The Meng Faction suffered a total defeat this time.
Deputy in charge of a 30 million RMB project?
Dong Xuebing was overjoyed. All his efforts were worth it.
This project will be recorded in his resume. This was Dong Xuebing’s first political achievement in Zhen Shui County.
