Power and Wealth - C.1694

Evening came.

The office hours ended.

In this gradually cooling season, the sky was almost halfway dark.

Dong Xuebing checked the time and packed his things. Before leaving, he called Fang Wenping to inquire about the transfer situation.

Han Fei's transfer was confirmed.

But there was still no news from Luo Haiting.

The call connected. "Hello, this is Dong Xuebing."

Fang Wenping responded indifferently, "What's up?"

Dong Xuebing asked, "I wanted to ask how Comrade Luo Haiting is doing."

"We're still in communication. It's complicated with many layers of approval," Fang Wenping responded firmly. "Don't ask me about these matters in the future. You'll know who's been decided in the end. Just follow the arrangements. I don't have time to babysit every one of you. Do you think I'm free? Our department is newly established, and there's a lot of work to be done. Focus on your work whenever you have time."

Dong Xuebing was annoyed. "Damn it, you're giving me attitude now. Forget it. I can't be bothered to argue with you. We'll talk later."

After considering, Dong Xuebing decided not to leave yet. He was worried about Luo Haiting's transfer. Knowing that Fang Wenping would ignore him, he followed up. As for Luo Haiting, Dong Xuebing's attitude towards her was the same as that of Han Fei; he must promote them both. Han Fei's situation was due to her father's position, providing multiple paths. Dong Xuebing also wanted to extend his interpersonal relationships. Regarding Luo Haiting, it was purely out of personal connections. Dong Xuebing enjoyed working with Luo. It was comfortable for him.

So Dong Xuebing called the Discipline Inspection Commission of Fenzhou City. Having worked there for a while, he naturally knew who to contact.

The Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, He Suien.

He was still the top leader of the Discipline Inspection Commission in Fenzhou City.

He Suien had Dong Xuebing's number. When he picked up, He Suien's voice was calm, typical of a serious disciplinary officer. "Director Dong."

"This is Secretary He. Long time no see," Dong Xuebing greeted.

"Yeah, it's been a year. How have you been?" He Suien asked.

"It's been alright. I've recently been transferred to the Ninth Inspection Division," Dong Xuebing replied.

"I've heard about the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection's organizational restructuring. So now you're the head of a department?" He Suien inquired.

"Yeah, I'm currently the director of the Second section, although it's said to be the head. Right now, I'm the only one in the department. I'm even responsible for answering the phone calls. We're in urgent need of manpower," Dong Xuebing complained, then continued, "Secretary He, is Comrade Luo Haiting still in the Inspection Office?"

"She is. What's the matter?" He Suien asked.

"I want to transfer Old Luo over. The procedures are already underway and should be completed in the next couple of days. I hope you'll release her end of things," Dong Xuebing said.

He Suien pondered for a moment. "Old Luo is currently handling a very important case. It probably won't be possible in the short term. Maybe you should consider someone else."

"I've worked with Old Luo twice, and our cooperation has always been excellent. This time, with the restructuring of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, we urgently need people, and it's also a critical time. That's why I want to transfer Old Luo to help me," Dong Xuebing insisted. "Secretary He, anyone can handle the case. Although all aspects of organizational work are equally important, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Municipal Discipline Inspection Commission cannot be said to be more urgent. But there's always a priority. I'm in a hurry here, with no one in the department. Can you give me this favor? I'll treat you to a big meal next time you're in Beijing. You can choose any restaurant you like. Can you prioritize Old Luo's situation? I hope Luo Haiting will come over in the next few days."

Praising a department or province's transfer has always been quite troublesome, especially considering the vast difference between the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Discipline Inspection Commission of Fenzhou City. If the normal procedures were followed, each place would be delayed and deliberate. By then, someone else would have taken up the position of Deputy Director of the Second Division in the Ninth Bureau. There wouldn't have been a chance for Luo Haiting to come over. Since Dong Xuebing's relationship with Fang Wenping wasn't good, he couldn't rely on her, so he had to inform her himself.

After some contemplation, He Suien said, "I know Old Luo was promoted by you, and she used to be under your leadership. But this comrade's work ability is indeed good, and she has strong principles. After you leave, many complicated and troublesome cases handled by Luo Haiting's Inspection Office have been handled exceptionally well. I wouldn't want to let her go if you hadn't asked."

Dong Xuebing replied, "It's precisely because she is capable that she should be given more room to grow. I want to appoint Old Luo as the Deputy Director of the Second Section."

After silence, He Suien said, "Alright, I'll inform Old Luo. Since it's a promotion, I can't block her path."

"Thank you, Secretary He."

"Hehe, remember to treat me to a meal."

"No problem, just call me when you're in Beijing."

On the other end, Luo Haiting left the office relatively early today and had already left the unit. She had just finished a call with her son, asking him what he wanted to eat, and was now at the market buying groceries.

"Are these fresh?"

"Of course, just came in."

"How much per pound?"

"3.50 RMB."

"Alright, give me a slab."

Luo Haiting wasn't very satisfied with her current life. Although she had reached a position that others might envy for a lifetime in just a few years, you'll always be somewhat dissatisfied with the status quo once you get used to a certain lifestyle. She had been sitting as Director of the Inspection Office of the Discipline Inspection Commission for quite some time now, but there wasn't much to do every day. She worked, bought groceries, cooked, monitored her child's studies, worked, bought groceries, and cooked again. Sometimes, Luo Haiting didn't know what she was doing all day. She was a native of Fenzhou City and had lived and worked there all her life, but she didn't want to continue like this forever. She wanted a bigger stage, to move up another step. This was inherent in everyone's nature, and Luo Haiting was no exception. She was tired of her current life.

But what could she do?

Life still had to go on.

After leaving the market, Luo Haiting walked listlessly. But at that moment, her phone rang. Seeing the number, Luo Haiting immediately picked up. "Secretary He, the case is already being handled. Liu Yu's trial."

However, He Suien said, "Put Liu Yu's case on hold for now. I just received news that the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection has specifically requested you. It's in the next few days. Get ready."

Luo Haiting was stunned. "Ah, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection?"

"Your former leader has specifically requested you. I've confirmed it with the province. The procedures are already in progress, so there shouldn't be any issues," He Suien said.

Suppressing her surprise, Luo Haiting asked, "I'm going there?"

"You should be the Deputy Director of the Second Section in the Ninth Division, at the Division Chief level," He Suien replied.

Upon hearing this, Luo Haiting took a deep breath, feeling excited and looking forward to what was to come.
