Chapter 1503: One smile erases all enmity
The next day.
The transfer order had come down.
In the morning, Dong Xuebing arrived at the office early. After entering his own office, he began to leisurely pack his things, put them into a small cardboard box, organize documents, and label them with the departments they needed to be handed over to.
A few months.
Not too long, not too short.
Dong Xuebing had developed quite an attachment to this place. Although he had eagerly awaited a promotion and transfer back, he felt reluctant to leave now that the moment had arrived. He evaluated his work achievements and various aspects during his tenure in Zhen Shui County. After some contemplation, he scored eighty out of a hundred, considering himself entirely satisfactory. His work achievements were undeniable; he had always performed exceptionally well, seldom making mistakes. Dong Xuebing was most satisfied with his personal growth over the past half year. After experiencing many things, he became more composed and no longer impulsive. Well, at least he had toned down a lot. Dong Xuebing considered this progress. He taught him a lot during his six months here, laying a solid foundation for his future development. So, Dong Xuebing was thankful for this place, grateful to the people of Zhen Shui County, whether they loved him or not, whether they hated him or liked him. In short, it was a myriad of emotions.
Knock, knock, knock.

Secretary Zhang Feng entered, " Mayor Dong, oh, packing up?"
Dong Xuebing smiled, "Secretary Zhang, you're here so early. I thought I was the only one in the office."
"No, Secretary Meng is here too. When he saw your car, he asked me to come and fetch you," Zhang Feng said.
"Okay, let's go then," Dong Xuebing didn't dawdle anymore, putting down his things and following Zhang Feng out of the office and into the Party secretary's office.
Meng Rui waved his hand, "In fact, there are many issues in how we've handled things and communicated with each other."
"It's mostly my fault."
"Hehe, it takes two to tango."
Over the past six months, Dong Xuebing and Meng Rui have experienced many conflicts, differences, and even conflicts more than once. But now, as they spoke, they both smiled slightly and with one smile, they erased all enmity. The various grievances of the past seemed to vanish.
"When's your flight?"
"I drove here, so naturally, I'll drive back. My car is quite expensive; I can't just leave it here. But there's no rush. I'm planning to leave next week. I specifically requested some time off. I'll be reporting to my new position a month later. These days, I'll treat everyone to a meal individually. Thank you all for your help over the past six months."
"Is the handover of work going well?"
"It's almost done."
"Okay, let's meet tonight. I'll book a hotel, and we'll have a meal. Consider it a farewell party for you."
"No need for you to spend money. Haha, I'll book the hotel."
"I said I'll treat you, so don't argue with me. You don't need to worry about it. Just show up. This meal must be on me. First, it's to bid you farewell, and second, to thank you for your contributions to Zhen Shui County," Meng Rui said.
Dong Xuebing was pleasantly surprised, "That's too kind of you."
Meng Rui stood up, smiling, and patted Dong Xuebing on the shoulder, "You, a cadre at the Division level, not yet twenty-six years old. I don't know how many people will be shocked if this gets reported. I'm increasingly curious to see how far you, kid, can go."
