Dong Xuebing left Geng Yuehua’s house and drove to work. The earthquake is happening in less than twenty days, and everything is going according to plan. This made him relieved. However, he knows it is too early to be happy now. There’s still a series of problems to overcome. Earthquake response exercise is a critical part of his plan.
Dong Xuebing had read that future newspaper more than a dozen times. He had memorized every residential, commercial building that had collapsed. There’s not enough time to strengthen these building structures, and he needs an excuse to relocate those residents. That’s why the Earthquake response exercise comes in as a reason for Dong Xuebing to convince them to move.
How will he convince the District Government to allow him to hold such a major exercise? Furthermore, he needs to think about how he will implement it.
Dong Xuebing reached the Subdistrict Office while thinking about it. It is lunchtime now, and many staffs are entering the cafeteria.
Suddenly, a car entered the compound, and someone called him. “Chief Dong.”
Dong Xuebing immediately knows it is someone from Yan Tai County. Before becoming Guang Ming Subdistrict Office Director, he was the Public Security Deputy Chief and the Investment Promotion Agency Chief. All his former colleagues still call him Chief Dong. He turned around and saw the current Yan Tai County Investment Promotion Agency Chief, Sun Shuli. The one driving is the Business Section One Chief, Lin Pingping.
“Old Sun, Xiao Lin!” Dong Xuebing laughed and went over to welcome them. “Why are you all here?”
Sun Shuli laughed. “We have a meeting at the District Investment Promotion Agency this afternoon, and we are early. So, we decided to drop by to visit our old leader.”
Geng Xinke paused for a few seconds. “I had considered about it before, but after we… graduated, I did not meet the right person. What about you?”
“I am busy with work.”
“If I know you are working in Yan Tai County, which is so near, I would….”
“Stop.” Lin Pingping held her head and sighed. “Stop saying these.”
Translator’s notes: Geng Xinke is the father of Lin Pingping’s son?!
