Chapter 1846

Morning.

It was just before nine o'clock.

It was still a normal workday start, and Dong Xuebing didn’t arrive early at the office. He seemed to be in no rush at all. After having driver Xiao Wang park the car downstairs, Dong Xuebing got out, adjusted his clothes, and then leisurely walked into the office building.

"Secretary."

"Uh, Secretary."

"Good morning."

When everyone saw Dong Xuebing’s calm demeanor, they were all a bit speechless. They thought, "Haven’t you heard about the provincial TV station’s morning news? Why are you so calm?" They really couldn’t understand this new county party secretary. Forget about the others; even the regular government employees were feeling a bit anxious, yet Dong Xuebing, as the top leader of the entire county, seemed completely unfazed. It was like, "The emperor isn’t in a hurry, but the eunuchs are." No one knew what Dong Xuebing was thinking, and they all felt confused and unsure.

"What's up with Secretary Dong's attitude?"

"I don't know. It seems like he just doesn’t care at all."

"How can he not care about such a big thing?"

"Yes, the provincial authorities have already exposed it. This is a huge matter."

"Exactly, if this goes wrong, our Jiaolin County’s leadership might face a shake-up."

"Not just the leadership, the lower-level officials won’t be spared either. Who knows how many people will be implicated."

Everyone was gossiping, and no one cared anymore about the move to the new county committee complex. They were all discussing this issue.

Dong Xuebing wasn’t in a rush, but others were.

For example, Zhang Dongfang, Meng Hanmei, and the other members of the county party committee. They had already started an emergency meeting in the conference room half an hour earlier.

The county party secretary hadn’t arrived.

Even if he hadn’t arrived, the meeting had to proceed.

Upstairs.

Small conference room.

At this moment, all the county committee standing members appeared outside.

"Stop moving things."

"Hold on for now."

"Don’t move anything today."

Most of the people were busy in the yard, and Zhang Dongfang, Meng Hanmei, Chang Lin, and the others each took charge of their respective departments and gave out orders.

When they heard this, no one was surprised, and they began to tidy up and prepare to move things upstairs again.

However, Dong Xuebing walked out of the office building. Zhang Dongfang and the others hadn’t expected him to show up, and all eyes turned toward him.

Dong Xuebing had returned to his office for a while, but hearing the noise downstairs, he came out. He was carrying many of his belongings and luggage as if he were about to move. "Hmm, what’s going on? Why are the things that were just moved out being brought back?"

Zhang Dongfang was speechless. "Don’t you know?"

Dong Xuebing replied, "What’s there to know? The news? Yes, I know. But this has nothing to do with us. Let’s move. Everyone, let’s hurry up and get things done."

After saying this, he placed his belongings on the ground and called two clerks over. "Put it on the truck, thanks."

Meng Hanmei said in shock, "Secretary."

Sun Changzhi, too, was taken aback. "We’re still moving?"

"Yes, why not?" Dong Xuebing gave a direct order. "Everyone from each department, pay attention—quickly get everything onto the trucks. The sooner we finish, the sooner it’s done. Don’t delay today’s work."

"What...?"

"Are you out of your mind?"

The provincial news had just exploded, and the situation was still boiling. Yet, are you still going ahead with this?

Several Committee members of the county committee felt this was highly inappropriate and asked Secretary Dong about it, trying to discuss the matter with him. Right now, The best approach is to wait and observe the provincial government’s stance first. However, no one expected that Dong Xuebing would completely ignore the provincial news and insist on proceeding with the move.

However, Dong Xuebing wasn’t listening to anyone. He was already directing people from various departments to load the items onto the trucks, with a completely relaxed expression—as if nothing was wrong.
