Good news

  In the afternoon when he went back to work, Han Dong clearly felt that the attitude of the people in the statistics bureau towards him had changed a lot.

  Since the adjustment of Huang Song and Zhao Ren's work, every time middle-level cadres in the statistics bureau saw Han Dong, they would smile and greet him with respect and enthusiasm. However, now when they see Han Dong from afar, they hastily avoid him, even if they can't walk away quickly, they barely manage to exchange greetings before hurriedly finding an excuse to leave, as if Han Dong is carrying a plague that will infect them if they're not careful.

  On the contrary, Huang Song suddenly became high-profile again, going to various departments to visit and loudly talk, buying a pack of good cigarettes and scattering them everywhere.

  "Director..." Zou Gang followed Han Dong into his office, wanting to speak but hesitating.

  "Sit down." Han Dong tossed him a cigarette, "What's up?"

  Zou Gang took out a lighter to help Han Dong light his cigarette, then lit one for himself and took a deep drag, seeming to make up his mind. "Director, are you free tonight? I'd like to invite you out for dinner."

  Han Dongwei smiled slightly, feeling relieved in his heart. "Hmm, tonight won't work, I've already made other plans... how about tomorrow night?"

  "Okay, okay, then tomorrow night." Zou Gang had thought that Han Dong was going to refuse, but when he set the time for tomorrow night, he felt a little overjoyed.

  Han Dong nodded, "Mm, don't worry about it and focus on your work, it will pass soon."

  Although Zou Gang didn't say anything, he had already shown his attitude, which was to resolutely follow Han Dong. At this moment, he could stand up and Han Dong was quite moved, so from now on, Han Dong accepted Zou Gang as a subordinate from the bottom of his heart and truly regarded him as one of his own people.

  "Zou Gang is still young, reliable in doing things, and with good cultivation, he should be able to become a good helper."

  Zou Gang returned to his office, unaware that his fate had already undergone a subtle change.

  He had already thoroughly offended Huang Song, and in the Statistics Bureau, he could only rely on Han Dong, closely following Han Dong. After this article incident happened, Zou Gang also hesitated for a long time, finally gritting his teeth to decide to show his loyalty again. Even if Han Dong was knocked down because of the article this time, maybe he could still rely on Shen Congfei behind him. In Zou's view, anyway, that article wasn't written by himself, and having dinner with Han Dong wouldn't have a big impact.

  After years of ups and downs, Zou Gang realized that it was unlikely to get ahead without someone backing him up. However, he had not found the opportunity to get close to Huang Song until Han Dong arrived at the Statistics Bureau, after which he immediately drew closer to him. Of course, he still admired Han Dong's courage in his heart and thought this might be a good opportunity for him.

  Until the end of work, Han Dong did not receive any notice and did not know how the Standing Committee meeting in the county went.

  It seems like everything has already passed.

  "Perhaps this is the calm before the storm." Han Dong thought to himself as he walked slowly forward in the biting cold wind.

  When they arrived at Binjiang Fish Village, Chen Minxuan and Zhou Zheng were already there. The two of them were discussing that pot of goldfish in the hall.

  "Han Dong, this is a stone that sets off a thousand layers of waves." Chen Minxuan took a sip of wine. "However, you're lucky, I heard that the county held a standing committee meeting this afternoon, and originally County Magistrate Fang was going to convey Secretary Yang's instructions from the municipal party committee to expel you, but Secretary Huang disagreed, and they had a fierce argument at the meeting."

  "What's the result?" Zhou Zheng asked anxiously.

  Chen Minxuan smiled and said: "After all, isn't the Party leading everything?"

  "That's really great." Zhou Zheng suddenly understood and excitedly said: "Come on, Dong Ge, I'll toast you a cup."

  Han Dong raised his glass and touched it with him, but he didn't have too much excitement in his heart. The real storm had not arrived yet.

  Chen Minxuan said: "Han Dong, do you know Minister of National Defense Mao?"

  "Mao's assistant is here, I don't know him." Han Dong looked at Chen Minxuan in confusion, "Is there something going on with the Chen department?"

  Chen Minxuan shook his head, "I don't have anything to do with it, but I heard that today's meeting was originally going to be held according to Yang Secretary's instructions, but because of Minister Mao and Propaganda Department Minister Wang's speeches supporting Huang Secretary, it didn't succeed. These two Standing Committee members used to be neutral, but today they all took Huang Secretary's side, reportedly making County Magistrate Fang furious."

  The relationship between the three people has become very close, so Chen Minxuan's words are very direct and no longer as evasive as before.

  "Is that so?" Han Dong finally understood why it had been calm all along, but he also didn't understand why it was like this. The head of the People's Armed Department, Mao, was easy to explain, maybe Li Dayong had made a call, but what about Wang, the head of the Propaganda Department?

  Chen Minxuan said: "However, Han Dong, you still can't be careless. The matter is not over yet. I heard that someone in the city is holding onto this matter."

  Zhou Zheng smiled and said with a squint: "No problem is good, this shows that Dong Ge's help is effective. Come on, let's have a drink."

  Chen Minxuan suddenly smiled and looked at Zhou Zheng, "What's going on today? Little Zhou wants to drink?"

  Zhou Zheng smiled awkwardly, "Hehe, what are you talking about? Brother Dong is fine, I'm just feeling happy."

  "Is that so?" Chen Minxuan smiled faintly and raised his cup: "Congratulations, Zhou Zheng."

  "Hmm?" Han Dong looked at Chen Minxuan with confusion, what did he mean by this.

  Zhou Zheng also laughed and said: "Chen Department, you're wrong, should be congratulating Dong Ge instead."

  Han Dongdao: "Chen Department, if you have something to say, just say it. What's so good about this kid?"

  Chen Minxuan said: "No way, they want to keep it confidential."

  Han Dong looked at Zhou Zheng and asked: "Going to get promoted?"

  "What's the big deal about being promoted? It's just a deputy director, far from being as good as Dong Ge." Zhou Zheng took a bite of food and said, "In a few days, I'll be going to Zhao Hua Town Police Station."

  Han Dong clapped his hands and said: "This is a good thing, why are you hiding and concealing it? Alright, tonight we must have a few good drinks."

  Although the deputy director of the police station is only a deputy section level in terms of rank, he is not even considered a leading cadre. However, for Zhou Zheng, this is a brand new starting point and also a big step forward.

  Two pieces of good news made Han Dong's mood great, and he accidentally drank too much, forgetting his previous decision to only drink three cups of wine. He got drunk and returned home, feeling light-headed. The next day when he woke up, his mouth felt bitter and his head was throbbing with pain. After getting out of bed, he once again decided that from now on, he would definitely remember not to exceed three cups of wine when drinking.

  After finishing breakfast at the small restaurant by the door, Han Dong walked slowly towards the Statistics Bureau, breathing in the cool and refreshing air, but his mood was somewhat heavy. Today was an important day, with the dissolution of Russia, the pressure he bore would be even greater.

  Everyone, don't forget to collect and vote after watching, thank you Xiaojiao.
