Chapter 768: This is my Fiancé
Noon.
Central Party School Cafeteria.
Dong Xuebing, Han Xinghua, and the rest found a table and sat down. They ordered some simple dishes and started eating.
Director Mei looked at Dong Xuebing and asked. “Xiao Dong, are you thirty years old?”
Dong Xuebing laughed. “I am twenty-five this year.”
Chief Zhang was surprised. “You are so young?!”
Han Xinghua did not expect Dong Xuebing to be only twenty-five years old. He thought he should be at least in his late twenties. “When Old Zhang and I were twenty-five, we worked as editors at the newspaper agencies.”
Chief Zhang added. “That’s right. That was almost ten years ago.”
They look at Dong Xuebing. Everyone who can train at the Central Party School has strong backings or networks. But they are surprised to learn that Dong Xuebing had become a Section Chief at twenty-five. They slowly opened up and started chatting about their other cla.s.smates.
“Have you all met Cla.s.s 1’s monitor?” Chief Zhang asked.
“No. but I had heard about it.” Secretary Chen said. “Their selection of their cla.s.s monitor had set a new record.
Chief Zhang nodded. “I heard the monitor is a thirty-one years old woman.”
Director Mei added. “I know her. I had met her once in the past, and I heard she is a County Mayor at the gra.s.sroots level.”
Chief Zhang nodded and asked suddenly. “Oh, Old Han. You should know her.”
Han Xinghua nodded. “We had worked together at the Central Publicity Department. I am not surprised she was selected as the cla.s.s monitor. There’s no rule saying only experienced students will get selected. Furthermore, I heard she will be promoted to Deputy Bureau Director after this course.”
A Deputy Bureau Director at thirty-one years old?!
Everyone gasped. They knew this person should have a strong backing and capabilities they couldn’t compete with. To be a cla.s.s monitor of a training course cla.s.s at the Central Party School requires votes from other students. Many of the students in the cla.s.s are old and experienced Leaders, and they lost to this young woman. This shows her capability and charisma.
Dong Xuebing got a strange feeling when discussing cla.s.s 1’s monitor.
She had worked in the Central Publicity Department and is currently a County’s Mayor….
How come this person sounds like someone he knows?
When Dong Xuebing was thinking about it, a group of people entered the cafeteria. These people are also partic.i.p.ants in the training course.
Chief Zhang saw them. “They are from cla.s.s 1.”
Dong Xuebing and the rest looked over, and he almost fell off his chair when he saw them.
A woman is walking in front of the group with a smile. She is wearing a ladies’ suit and looks graceful.
Secretary Chen asked softly. “Is she the cla.s.s monitor?”
Han Xinghua nodded. “Yes. It’s her.”
Chief Zhang smiles to himself. He finally understood why so many leaders voted this woman to be their cla.s.s monitor. He would also vote for her if he were in their cla.s.s. How can there be such a beautiful woman in this world? Her smile makes others comfortable, and she has a high affinity. One look can tell she is extraordinary. Government Leaders at their age are used to temptations and will not give in easily. However, this woman has a different type of charm.
The beautiful woman led cla.s.s 1 to a long empty table.
Han Xinghua stood up and greeted cla.s.s 1’s monitor. “Director Xie.”
The woman turns and smiles. “Old Han, haha….” She saw Dong Xuebing beside Han Xinghua and narrowed her eyes.
Director Mei also stood up and waved to her. “Director Xie, it’s been a long time.”
The woman walks over gracefully. “Chief Mei…. Oh, I should call you Director Mei now. How are you?”
Director Mei replied. “Good. How come I did not see you at the hall earlier?”
The woman smiles. “I had some last-minute work to attend to at my County because of the earthquake, and I was late for the ceremony.”
Chief Zhang and Secretary Chen stood up and shook hands with her.
Han Xinghua had worked with this woman before, and he started to introduce the rest to her. “This is Chief Zhang, and this is Secretary Chen.”
“Hi.” The woman shook their hands.
When Han Xinghua is about to introduce Dong Xuebing, he notices the latter doesn’t seem interested in knowing her. He stood there and did not move forward.
Han Xinghua is slightly unhappy with Dong Xuebing’s reaction, but he still introduces him. “This is Director Dong from the Subdistrict Office.”
“You don’t need to introduce him.” The woman smiles as she looks at Dong Xuebing. “Haha…. If someone is to introduce him, it should be me.”
Han Xinghua and the rest are puzzled.
Dong Xuebing is speechless. “Why are you here?”
The woman smiled and replied. “Why can’t I come here? It’s a last-minute approval, and I was informed not long ago.”
Dong Xuebing is slightly p.i.s.sed. “Then you should have told me earlier.”
“Didn’t I tell you over the phone earlier?”
Dong Xuebing thought to himself. This is the surprise you are talking about? Are you trying to p.i.s.s me off?
Han Xinghua looked at them and asked. “Do you all know each other?”
The rest are looking at them bantering, and they seem to be close.
The woman smiled and held Dong Xuebing’s arm. “This is my fiancé.”
Xie Huilan’s voice is not soft and many people, including the cla.s.s 1 students, heard her.
Han Xinghua and Director Mei were stunned.
Everyone is surprised at what Xie Huilan said. Fiancé?!
Xie Huilan was not surprised by everyone’s shocked expression and tapped Dong Xuebing’s shoulder. “I will have lunch first. Let’s chat later.”
Dong Xuebing nodded.
