Power and Wealth
Chapter 1445 – Call from the County
Room.
On the genuine leather sofa.
The fragrance on Sister Chang’s body, the sensation on Sister Chang’s legs, and the soft massage on Sister Chang’s hands made Dong Xuebing feel like he was floating in heaven.
Beautiful.
So beautiful.
What could be more moisturizing than this?
It’s been two or three months since Dong Xuebing took office in Zhen Shui County. He has never felt as relaxed as today. Sister Chang’s hands seem magical, clearing away all the fatigue, irritability, and other negative emotions from his body and mind. Dong Xuebing almost wishes he didn’t have to work and just lie on Sister Chang’s legs for three days and nights. It’s so comfortable. This kind of time is also very rare for Dong Xuebing, and he hasn’t experienced it in a long time. Dong Xuebing is increasingly convinced that bringing Sister Chang’s personnel relations to Zhen Shui County was the right decision. It’s worth it just for the skill and thoughtfulness of having someone to give a massage. Otherwise, the women in Zhen Shui County who are closer to him are Jiang Fangfang, Yao Cui, and Chen Xiaomei. Old Chen is too old, and the relationship is not close. Cui’er is his old classmate, and Dong Xuebing is embarrassed. Mayor Jiang is his leader, and Dong Xuebing can’t ask her for a massage. It’s only Sister Chang.
“Is the pressure okay?”
“Okay.”
“Comfortable?”
“Very comfortable.”
“Go ahead and sleep, Xuebing.”
“Mmm.”
At this point, Dong Xuebing doesn’t need to be polite with her. He adjusts his head slightly, changes his posture a bit, and continues to lie on her thighs. At this moment, as he adjusts, Dong Xuebing’s face slowly turns towards Chang Juan’s abdomen and thighs, and the woman’s scent becomes more pronounced. He can’t help but take a deep breath, although his face is pressed against the firm wire edge of Sister Chang’s skirt and underwear, Dong Xuebing quickly falls asleep.
Twenty minutes passed.
In the blink of an eye, it was nine o’clock.
The jarring ringtone of the phone suddenly woke Dong Xuebing up. Ring, ring, ring. He looked up and checked the time on the clock. He realized it was already so late. Looking at Sister Chang on top of him. She was still gently massaging his head. Then she reached out and took Dong Xuebing’s phone from the coffee table, handing it to him. Dong Xuebing thanked her and considered answering the call but felt the warmth on Sister Chang’s thighs. He hesitated momentarily before lying back down and answering the call.
“Hello, Old Zheng.”
“Mayor Dong, the meeting is over.”
“Are you upstairs?”
“Yes, just taking the elevator.”
“Okay, come to my room in ten minutes.”
Dong Xuebing hung up the phone, sighed, and lay there, lifting his head and facing Sister Chang’s face revealed between her two breasts.
“Old Zheng is back. Inform the people below, let’s have a meeting.”
“Sure,” Sister Chang smiled.
Dong Xuebing yawned.
Chang Juan glanced at him. “Did you sleep well?”
Dong Xuebing nodded. “Yes, thanks to you.”
As the time was almost up, Dong Xuebing reluctantly climbed up from Sister Chang’s legs. After getting up, the two of them locked eyes for a second. Then, Sister Chang left.
Dong Xuebing watched her departing figure, feeling a bit itchy inside. He patted his forehead to clear his mind, realizing that he still carried Sister Chang’s scent on his face, neck, and even hair. He was afraid someone would notice. Quickly, he went to the bathroom to wash his face. Finally, he looked in the mirror and removed the long hair of Sister Chang stuck to his clothes. It was too obvious; it had to be cleaned up, or people might get the wrong idea. Dong Xuebing became more and more cautious in his actions. He felt it was a good sign. After all these years of work, he had matured a lot.
After tidying up the table, Dong Xuebing waited for the arrival of others.
But the phone rang again, making a noise.
Seeing the incoming call, Dong Xuebing reflexively rubbed his temples. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to answer. It was Secretary Meng Rui’s call, and he couldn’t ignore it.
“Hello, Secretary Meng.”
“Mayor Dong, how is the investment promotion meeting going?”
“Just started. Everything is proceeding according to plan.”
“Plan? Why did I hear that the results are very poor, not a single investor was brought down, and there was no arrangement for the county’s inspection in the city today?”
Dong Xuebing knew that the county had heard some news and couldn’t sit still.
Why did Secretary Meng Rui call instead of Mayor Jiang Fangfang?
Mayor Jiang probably had confidence in him; even if not, there was at least some trust. So, she didn’t ask much. But it was different on Meng’s side; they didn’t have much trust in him. They probably heard something from somewhere, and now they wanted to inquire and assign blame. It was understandable because this investment promotion put too much pressure on the county. All departments were focusing on the Investment Promotion Bureau. If it didn’t go well, not only would Dong Xuebing and the Investment Promotion Bureau be held responsible, but the county’s finances would also be in jeopardy.
After a pause, Meng Rui’s tone became somewhat displeased. “Why did I hear people say that after you went to the city, you booked all the presidential suites, each person staying in one? Is that true?”
Dong Xuebing said, “Yes, it’s true.”
Meng Rui said, “What kind of thing did you do? Isn’t this too ostentatious?”
Dong Xuebing replied, “Secretary Meng, I was a bit impulsive in this matter, but I was forced to. You might have only heard one side of the story. You don’t know the whole picture. This time, the exhibition booth for Zhen Shui County in the investment promotion is the worst among all counties. Some places are available, but the city’s investment promotion arranged us at the foot of the mountain, the farthest and last place. I don’t think you have a clear impression of this. For example, when investors visit the investment promotion booth, our location is so far away that almost no investor will come over. They are usually taken away by other counties halfway. Some even find it too far and don’t bother to come in. How can we work like this? Moreover, in the afternoon, we attracted two investors for inspection. Still, the City Investment Promotion Bureau head, Lu Weiguo, intervened and snatched them away from us, introducing them to other districts and counties. Lastly, in the evening, we discovered that all the directors and deputy directors of the investment promotion bureaus from other counties had single rooms, but Zhen Shui County was different. Old Zheng and Old Chang had to squeeze into a standard room with their subordinates.”
Meng Rui’s voice changed suddenly. “Is that so?”
Dong Xuebing said, “The attitude of the City Investment Promotion Bureau is clear. It’s targeted at Zhen Shui County. I suspect it’s because of the incident last time when we went to the city to reclaim the central funding. We offended some people. But even if that’s the case, they shouldn’t be so blatant and disgusting. Given the current situation, what else can I do? I had no choice but to book the presidential suites. Zhen Shui County’s investment promotion performance might be average, but it’s not something anyone can bully. If they want to play dirty, I’ll play with them too.”
