Chapter 769: Xie Huilan is going to be Deputy Bureau Director

Central Party School cafeteria.

Xie Huilan left Dong Xuebing’s table, but everyone was still looking at them.

“Class 1’s monitor’s fiancé?”

“Is it that young man?”

“This is the first time I heard about it.”

“I don’t think he is her fiancé.”

Xie Huilan had attracted the attention of many after becoming the class monitor. The other two classes’ monitors, secretaries, and committee members are also spotlighted. After all, these positions will be recorded in their files. Almost all monitors and committee members from the previous courses have bright futures. This is a training course, and their positions indicate their political status.

Even a Party School’s staff, who overheard their conversation, stopped and looked at Dong Xuebing.

Dong Xuebing is not surprised at everyone’s reaction as he is used to it. Is there a need to be so surprised?! I am only slightly younger and got slightly more average looks. Why are you all looking at me as if I am not good enough for her?

Dong Xuebing is slightly upset when everyone looks at him.

This is everyone’s reaction when they know he is Xie Huilan’s boyfriend.

Dining table.

Han Xinghua finally looks at Dong Xuebing differently because he is one of the few who knows about Xie Huilan’s background. Not anyone can qualify to be her fiancé. He tried to find out about Dong Xuebing’s background by asking. “Xiao Dong. You can keep secrets. How long have you known Director Xie?”

Director Mei and Chief Zhang looked at Dong Xuebing.

Dong Xuebing asked. “We met a while ago. She was working at the Central Publicity Department then.”

Han Xinghua suddenly asks. “Are you working in Fen Zhou City too?”

“Yes.” Dong Xuebing nodded. “Nan Shan District, Guang Ming Subdistrict Office.” This is his current position.

“What?!” Director Mei remembers something. “You are Director Dong from Guang Ming Subdistrict?!”

Chief Zhang and the rest also remembered this name and were shocked.

Fen Zhou City’s earthquake had been in the news for several days. Although most of the news about Dong Xuebing is reported in Fen Zhou City, other TV stations, like CCTV, had reported about him before. However, not everyone remembers what he looks like. They only remember him when he mentions he is a Subdistrict Office Director in Fen Zhou City, and his surname is Dong. This guy is the earthquake hero!

No wonder Dong Xuebing can attend the Division Chief training course on an exceptional basis.

Han Xinghua immediately raised his teacup. “Director Dong, I must offer you a toast. We heard about your heroic feats of saving others, and we talked about you earlier. No wonder your name sounds familiar.”

Dong Xuebing felt embarrassed. “I didn’t do much. I am younger than you all, and I should be the one toasting with you all.”

Chief Zhang added. “Old Han is correct. We must offer you this toast. I had read the news, and your actions had impressed me.”

Everyone at this table got closer. They thought the earthquake hero, who had risked his life several times to save others and survived after being buried under the debris for weeks, must be remarkable. But it turns out to be a young man with average looks.

After lunch.

A shaded path in the west of the Party School compound.

Xie Huilan crossed her arms and leaned against a tree trunk. She is looking at Dong Xuebing with a smile.

Dong Xuebing felt uncomfortable and started to blush. “What are you looking at?”

“Hehe… my Xiao Bing had become more handsome.”

“Stop talking nonsenses.” Dong Xuebing said. It felt good to be praised.

Xie Huilan smiles. “Anywhere, I find you handsome, and I fall deeper for you.”

Dong Xuebing felt more embarrassed. “Fine… that’s enough. I got goosebumps now. Stop looking at me like this. I still have not settled the score with you. Why are you here and not in Yan Tai County?”

“I told you earlier. This is a last-minute notification. I am here for training.” Xie Huilan replied. “I might be promoted to Deputy Bureau Director when I return.”

Dong Xuebing is surprised. “So fast?!”

“That’s because I listened to you to evacuate the residents and lowered the casualty rate.”

“But you are moving up too fast.”

“It was a critical period, and nothing is impossible.”

Geng Yuehua had become the District Party Secretary, and Dong Xuebing thought it was the same for Xie Huilan. However, Xie Huilan did not become the County’s Party Secretary and will be promoted to Deputy Bureau Director. This is considered a triple promotion, and she is only thirty-one!

Suppose Xie Huilan carries on getting promotions so fast. In that case, she will become a City Mayor at thirty-three, a Province Governor at thirty-six, and a Premier at forty! This is going to be her career path!

“Do you know where you will be posted?” Dong Xuebing asked. “We are getting married. I don’t want to be separated from you after we get married.”

“Haha…. It is not decided, but I should be entering the City Government. I still got to work on rebuilding after the earthquake. What’s wrong?” Xie Huilan said with a sweet smile. Her smile is always so attractive.

Dong Xuebing looked around them and saw no one.

Xie Huilan seems to know what Dong Xuebing is thinking. “We are in public. Can you don’t do anything to embarrass me?”

“Hehe…. How do you know I am going to kiss you?”

“You told me now.”

“I am talking about earlier.”

“Haha…. I can read your mind.” Xie Huilan looks at him. “Tonight. I will consider letting you kiss me tonight. If you are a good boy, I might let you touch me.”

Dong Xuebing smacked his lips. “I want to touch you now.”

Xie Huilan narrowed her eyes. “Go ahead and try.”

“Alright. I am scared of you.” Dong Xuebing said. “I’ll see you tonight.”
