Dong Xuebing wore his newly bought suit to work . He greeted the old guard at the guard house and before walking into the compound .
Only Tan Limei and Zhuang Zhi were in the General Affairs Office . When Tan Limei saw Dong Xuebing, she gasped in surprise . “Bing Zhi looks so mature today . So handsome . ”
Dong Xuebing replied: “I do not have many nice clothes like you . You are dressed up so pretty every day . ”
Tan Limei laughed happily . “You are so good at praising others . ” There was no one else in the office, and Tan Limei playfully patted Zhuang Zhi’s tummy . “Hey, you should learn from Bing Zhi . Look at him . He had just joined our office and had gotten the trust of Chief Zhou . If this carries on, he should be replacing Zhou Panwei position in Chief Zhou’s heart . Look at you . You are not good with words . How can you leave a good impression with the leaders?”
Zhuang Zhi scratched the back of his head: “I…… I cannot speak well . ”
Dong Xuebing looked at Tan Limei . “Tan Zhi, why do you care so much about Zhuang Zhi?”
Tan Limei blushed . “Who do I care about so much? Hmph! It’s my turn to clean the office today . ”
Zhuang Zhi quickly stood up . “I will help you . ”
“That’s more like it . ” Tan Limei passed the mop to him .
Was Dong Xuebing good with words? Knows how to make the leaders like him? This was impossible if it was in the past . He was a quiet person since middle school to university . He could not speak well and get along with others . But after he set his goal, he felt he had changed a lot . He forced himself to say things that will please others . He did it for his promotions .
He needs to be humble and modest first before he could get promoted .
10 minutes later, all the staffs arrived in office .
Dong Xuebing felt his phone vibrates . He took out his iPhone 4 to take a look . It was Qu Yunxuan who had messaged him . “My boss just gave out an instruction . I need to work overtime today . I might not reach home until after 8 pm . You get dinner yourself . ” Dong Xuebing replied . “Ok . Be careful when you are coming home . ” After sending the message, he was about to keep his phone back into his pocket when a dark figure appeared beside him and snatched his phone away .
It was Tan Limei who snatched his phone .
“Wow!” Tan Limei shouted in surprised . “It’s iPhone 4 . Bing Zhi, you bought this iPhone 4?”
Guo Shunjie who was looking at his monitor snorted loudly and did not say a word .
Guo Panwei who did not keep up with the latest trend asked: “What is iPhone 4?”
Changjuan explained: “It’s a handphone model . It is the hottest handphone now . I heard that it cost 5,000 to 6,000 RMB with the accessories . Hehe, Xiao Dong, you are really willing to buy . ”
Guo Panwei exclaimed: “How much? 5,000 to 6,000 RMB for a handphone?” Civil servants’ salary was not a lot when compared to those private companies . He felt that 5,000 to 6,000 RMB was too expensive even to buy a PC, let alone a handphone .
Tan Limei looked at the phone in her hands with envy . “This phone is so pretty . I must also get one when I get this month’s salary . Huh? I can’t afford it even with this month’s salary . I can only wait for next month . ” She said and looked at the phone before pleading with Dong Xuebing . “Bing Zhi, we are good friends . Can we exchange our phones for a few days? Let me play with it for a few days please……”
Dong Xuebing shrugged his shoulders . “I am ok with it . But your phone’s sim card is different from iPhone . ”
Tan Limei slapped her forehead . “Ah… . I forgot about that . Here, have your phone back . ” She gave the phone back to Dong Xuebing unwillingly . Tan Limei likes to follow the latest trends . She kept stealing glances at Dong Xuebing’s desk while working and kept borrowing his phone to play around once she was free .
There was a meeting in the morning at the small meeting room upstairs . Chief Li Qing was not around, and it was Chief Zhou who chaired the meeting . The meetings in the government sector were all the same . It was not for the department heads to talk about their staffs’ performance . It was to discuss the documents given to them by their higher-ups . Dong Xuebing felt this was meaningless but forced himself to listen to Zhou Changchun’s “chanting” while thinking of how to get promoted .
10 minutes……
20 minutes……
Dong Xuebing was falling asleep and controlling himself from yawning .
The people from the General Affairs Office were used to this . Other than Old Yan was doing his own things, the rest were trying their best to pay attention .
“That’s all for today . ” Zhou Changchun drank his tea and cleared his throat . “Two of you will follow me . The rest return to the office . There is a lot of work this morning . Do your best . ” Zhou Changchun looked around the meeting room thinking who to pick to follow him out for some errands .
Dong Xuebing and Guo Panwei puffed out their chest and straighten their backs .
Then Zhou Changchun said . “Panwei, Shunjie, both of you follow me . ”
“Yes, sir . ” Guo Panwei replied immediately and proudly looked at Dong Xuebing . It was as if he was telling Dong Xuebing that did you see it? Even if you have some credits, Chief Zhou still trusts me more than you . Guo Panwei was had been upset with Dong Xuebing immediately felt better .
Guo Shunjie did not expect Zhou Changchun would call his name . He brightens up . This means the leader had forgotten about the incident that day . He also looked at Dong Xuebing who had been trying to be closer to Chief Zhou recently . He was delighted to see Chief Zhou not calling Dong Xuebing . Dong Xuebing was still a newbie .
“Oh yes . ” When everyone was walking out of the meeting room, Zhou Changchun suddenly said: “There will be two very important documents which will be sent to Chief Li Qing there . Two of you must go and collect it and send it to the confidential department . Nothing must go wrong… . Errr… . . ”
Dong Xuebing puffed up his chest and had a “leave this to me” expression on his face .
After hesitating for a while, Zhou Changchun looked at Dong Xuebing for a second and said: “Xiao Chang and Xiao Tan, both of you will do this . The Confidential Department might be having a meeting this morning . If there is no one to collect the documents, don’t bring the documents back to the office . Return it back to Chief Li Qing . There are no duplicates for these documents . Nothing must happen to the documents . ”
“Rest assure Chief . ” Tan Limei and Changjuan nodded .
Guo Panwei and Guo Shunjie looked at Dong Xuebing . There were laughing at him in their hearts .
Dong Xuebing felt helpless . After all, he was still new in the office . Zhou Changchun had only started to trust him . But compared to the rest of the staffs, he still trusts the seniors more . Especially Guo Shunjie who was Zhou Changchun’s, right-hand man .
