Chapter 1754

It was already past eleven.

The snow was gradually stopping.

At the pavilion at the top of the park hill, Dong Xuebing was still chatting with Fang Wenping, boasting about his past "glorious" deeds. While others might not be interested in Dong Xuebing's stories, Fang Wenping seemed to enjoy them. The two of them drank together and shared tales of their misdeeds. Fang Wenping eventually shared some of her exploits, which made Dong Xuebing laugh a few times. They felt a rare camaraderie, enjoying each other's company and having a lengthy conversation.

Liquor.

A beautiful woman.

Snowy weather.

Having given his coat to Fang Wenping, Dong Xuebing no longer felt cold, nor did he feel the previous reluctance. He thought it was quite enjoyable to spend the second day of the New Year sneaking into the park with Fang Wenping, chatting and shooting the breeze. He realized he had nothing else to do at home, so he wasn't hurrying to leave.

"There was another time when my plane crashed, and everyone thought I was dead. They even held my funeral. A few months later, I showed up and scared everyone. Have you ever heard of someone attending their funeral? You should have seen their faces—they were all scared stiff." Dong Xuebing laughed heartily, "Then since my position had been filled, they had no choice but to promote me."

"You've experienced a plane crash?" Fang Wenping looked at him.

Dong Xuebing chuckled, "Yeah, it was just bad luck, I guess."

Fang Wenping remarked, "You’re not very old, but you've been through quite a lot. I heard about the earthquake incident, too."

Dong Xuebing sighed, "That's just the tip of the iceberg. I've been through so much since joining the system. I've had a series of unfortunate events, encountering everything imaginable and unimaginable."

Fang Wenping said calmly, "When I was younger, I had a troublesome incident. Our car was stopped by a group of farmers with shovels and hoes. They wanted to file a complaint and seemed ready to detain us if we didn't listen. One of our staff members was injured."

"And then?" Dong Xuebing asked.

The man replied, "No, I just called to check. I didn't see you at home and wondered where you were this late. I just wanted to let you know. Come home for dinner tomorrow."

Fang Wenping acknowledged, "Got it." Pausing, she added, "By the way, Second Brother, I need to ask you something. Do you know Jiaolin County in Shaanxi?"

The man said, "Yes, why?"

Fang Wenping replied, "I have a friend who wants to transfer there as the county party secretary. Can you help arrange it by adjusting the current secretary?"

"Which friend?" the man asked.

"Just help me with it," Fang Wenping said.

"Adjusting it is possible, but I won't handle anything else," the man said.

"He's taken care of everything else. As long as there's a vacancy for him to fill, there won't be any problem," Fang Wenping said. "Just make sure this gets done."

The man said, "I'll check and get back to you as soon as possible."

A county party secretary isn't a minor position, but for someone of Fang Wenping and her family's stature, this kind of thing was a small favor. It's just a transfer, especially within their sphere of influence.

After hanging up, Fang Wenping said, "Alright, just wait for the news."

Dong Xuebing felt a surge of gratitude and excitement. Old Comrade Fang had come through for him today. Though she had initially only promised to help, now it was becoming a reality. A weight lifted off Dong Xuebing's chest, and he said, "Great, thank you so much."

Fang Wenping waved her hand dismissively.

Dong Xuebing felt that their relationship had significantly improved. Things were looking good.
