Chapter 99
On the way home .
There were still a few more stops to North Heping Street . Dong Xuebing was waiting for his bus at a bus stop outside of a shopping center near to West bridge . He had been waiting for the bus for a long time, but that did not dampen his mood . He was humming a tune as he took out the packet of Hongtashan Cigarettes from his pocket . He took out a cigarette and light it . This was the packet Dong Xuebing bought after Director Li Qing gave him a cigarette . He had opened up the pack a long time ago, and the taste of the cigarette changed . Dong Xuebing choked on the smoke and was almost in tears .
The taste was awful!
Dong Xuebing threw the cigarette on the floor and stepped on it to extinguish it . He also threw away that packet of Hongtashan into a bin .
The bus had still not arrived . It was more than 20 minutes .
Just when Dong Xuebing was considering if he should take a taxi back, he saw a familiar figure walking towards his direction from the corner of his eyes . That person was about 6 to 7 meters away . Her hair was tied up into a bun, and her facial features were beautiful . She had a slim figure and long legs . This woman was that elegant woman which Dong Xuebing had helped her to get her wallet back . She was wearing a black colored ladies suit and a pair of black heels . She was stunning . Her beauty was totally different from the gentle Qu Yunxuan . She was more of the elegant type!
Dong Xuebing could not take his eyes off her . How could someone be as pretty as her?
Oh, the last time we met was also not far from here . Does she stay around here? This place is quite close to my place .
“Chief Xie!” A middle-aged man appeared from another direction and walked towards that woman .
That woman turned to look at him and smiled . “Old Li, you have just come back?”
That man nodded and smiled . “I went to the parents-teachers meeting at my kid’s school . Are you going out?”
“Yes . I have some on . ”
That man looked at her . “Chief Xie, can I delay your time for a while? I had asked someone to redo the thing I showed you the last time . We changed the core components to mechanical productions, and there are some other modifications……”
The woman smiled and waved her hand . “Can we not talk about work on our off days?”
The middle-aged man paused for a while: “This is still not approved by Minister Zhao’s side . This……”
The woman was still smiling, but her eyes narrowed . “Bring the proposal to my office tomorrow when we are at work . Can we not talk about work now?”
Dong Xuebing was curious . That man was in his forties . Although he was not smiling, he was standing straight unlike that woman, who was standing there casually . From their conversation, that man had addressed her politely and had used honorifics . This woman should not be more than 30 years old and should be holding a much higher position than that man . Chief Xie? Chief? Could she be some divisional chief from a private company? If she was working at a state-owned enterprise or government agency, she should be holding a similar position as Dong Xuebing in the General Affairs Office, based on her age . Although the title was “Chief” but the actual rank was still Section Chief .
Dong Xuebing saw the woman walking nearer towards him, and he hesitated and wonder if she should speak to her .
This woman had said she will treat Dong Xuebing for dinner when she has the time . But almost one month had passed, and she still has not contacted Dong Xuebing . She must have forgotten about this . She might even forget how Dong Xuebing looks like .
Dong Xuebing’s mind was wandering when the woman suddenly stopped and looked at him .
“Huh? It’s you?”
