<h4>Chapter 803: Official Appointment</h4>


    City’s Commission for Discipline Inspection.


    Small meeting hall.


    Everyone was whispering among themselves while looking at Dong Xuebing.


    More staff arrived at the meeting hall and joined the discussion.


    “I thought the First Inspection Office’s Director would be someone in his thirties.”


    “That’s right. How can they appoint someone like this to be the Director of the most important office?”


    “This is not a surprise. Did you all forget about Director Dong’s contributions during the earthquake?”


    “I know about it. But the news report did not state he is in his mid-twenties.”


    “Yes. The newspaper only published a ck and white photograph of him once, and it looked different.”


    “This is too much. Who would respect him with his age and experience?”


    “That’s right. I respect Director Dong’s selflessness in risking his life to save others during the earthquake. But saving others have nothing to do with Commission for Discipline Inspection’s work.”


    Dong Xuebing did not know what others were talking about, but he could guess it must be about his age. He was used to it. It was the same when he entered the Public Security Bureau as the Deputy Chief, the Investment Promotion Agency’s Chief, and Subdistrict Office’s Director. He walked to the Commission for Discipline Inspection’s Office Director, Gao Wenrong, to greet him and sat at his designated seat to wait for the Leader to announce his appointment.


    Suddenly, a middle-aged woman and a few Commission for Discipline Inspection staff entered the meeting room.


    In herte thirties to early forties, the woman wore thick makeup, and her hair was pinned up in a bun with a green hair clip. It was almost winter, and she wore a white skirt and ck heels. It was rare to see women of her age dressed up this way. She had a great figure and still looked attractive.


    Dong Xuebing smiled when he saw this woman.


    This pretty woman was no other than Luo Haiting.


    Luo Haiting had called Dong Xuebing a few days ago and was posted to the City’s Commission for Discipline Inspection immediately. The Xie Family acted fast.


    Sister Luo had not changed her dressing style, but Dong Xuebing could tell she had held back a lot. After all, she was not allowed to go overboard with her dressing in the Commission for Discipline Inspection. If she were in another government department, she would not be wearing this white skirt. She would be wearing a bright green dress. He had seen her wearing dresses with outrageous colors in Yan Tai County’s Investment Promotion Agency.


    Many people, especially the men, turned to look at Luo Haiting when she entered the meeting room.


    Sister Luo had an emotionless expression as she entered the room. Maybe she was still adapting to the new environment, and she was nervous. But when she saw Dong Xuebing on the stage, she smiled sweetly at him.


    Dong Xuebing did not greet her and looked away.


    Luo Haiting knew this was not the right ce to talk to Dong Xuebing, and she sat down. She continued to look at Dong Xuebing without blinking.


    Dong Xuebing had his considerations for not greeting Luo Haiting. He was new and did not know about the rivalries in the department. So, he had to keep a low profile until he could establish the different fractions. If he showed his rtionship with Luo Haiting, people would know she was someone he brought in to help him. Of course, people will know their rtionship if they look into their records. They had worked in the Investment Promotion Agency.


    A whileter, the leaders arrived.


    Dong Xuebing stood up to wee them immediately.


    Dong Xuebing only knows two of the leaders. The Organization Department Minister Wen Shixiang, and the City’s Commission for Discipline Inspection Secretary, He Suien. He had seen photos of the rest of the leaders on the inte and read their resumes. This was not the time for introduction as all the staff was waiting for them. He Suien waved his hand to get everyone seated.


    The meeting started.


    The host of the meeting was Office Director Gao Wenrong.


    Gao Wenrong announced the agenda of today’s meeting and passed the microphone to Wen Shixiang for him to make the appointment announcement.


    Wen Shixiang looked friendly. Maybe it was because of the nature of his work. “Good morning, everyone. I am here to read the appointment announcement for Comrade Dong Xuebing. I believe all of you know who Dong Xuebing is. Even if you had not met him before, you should have heard of him. That’s right. He is our Fen Zhou City’s Earthquake Hero. He had risked his life to save many civilians during the earthquake. He is a good example for us to learn from.” Wen Shixiang said before reading Dong Xuebing’s official appointment announcement as the Commission for Discipline Inspection’s First Inspection Office’s Director.


    Everyone pped. Luo Haiting pped the loudest.


    Dong Xuebing was officially appointed as the First Inspection Office Director.


    The Commission for Discipline Inspection’s Secretary He Suien’s speech was short, and he passed the microphone to Dong Xuebing.


    Apuse sounded again.


    Dong Xuebing cleared his throat and spoke, “Thank you for the trust the Party and everyone gave to me. Thank you, Secretary He and Minister Wen, for acknowledging my work. This is an encouragement and also a whip for me to do better. Actually, I did not do much. I am a Party Member and a Civil Servant, and I have to do my best for the people. I will continue to serve the people under the directions of the City’s Party Committee in the future….”


    Dong Xuebing talked for five minutes. He was used to giving such speeches and didn’t need scripts or notes.


    Dong Xuebing did not talk for too long as he was only a subdepartment Director, not the department’s Chief. He had to keep a low profile and avoid giving others the impression he was immature or arrogant, as it would hinder his future work.


    Meeting dismissed.


    The time was 11.40 pm.


    He Suien looked at his watch and whispered something to Gao Wenrong.


    Gao Wenrong immediately called the Guesthouse to make lunch arrangements. After that, he boarded a car with Dong Xuebing and a few leaders.


    At the wee lunch, Dong Xuebing got to meet all the leaders.
