Chapter 1527: Wife is getting promoted

News Title: A major traffic accident occurred in Fenzhou City.

This news was added to the provincial newspaper in the afternoon. Such a big accident needs to be reported promptly. The news briefly explained the time of the incident and the cause of the accident. Then the text turned: When the reporter arrived, the Deputy Mayor of Fenzhou City, Xie Huilan, was at the scene. Despite being pregnant, she still insisted on commanding the rescue efforts, always at the forefront, which was very moving. What's more noteworthy is that the husband of Deputy Mayor Xie happened to be at the scene of the incident. According to information obtained at the scene, immediately after the car accident occurred, Deputy Mayor Xie's husband was the first to rush into the burning car to rescue people. All the injured were saved from life-threatening situations under his surgery and emergency rescue. The injured managed to hold on until medical personnel and ambulances arrived. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Xie Huilan was praised to the heavens.

The credit for this belonged to Xie Huilan, and the name "Dong Xuebing" did not appear at all in the report. He was referred to as "Deputy Mayor Xie's husband" throughout the text. Dong Xuebing felt frustrated, but it didn't matter because he had already been transferred and was no longer in a position where he could claim much credit. But Xie Huilan was different, especially during this critical period of promotion. This report indicates the direction, and Dong Xuebing was now confirmed. The Provincial Propaganda Department helped promote Xie Huilan.

The promotion should be settled.

It's just unclear what position she will be promoted to.

Luan Xiaoping couldn't quite understand, "Huilan said she's been active lately and wants a promotion. Isn't that a sure thing?"

Dong Xuebing nodded, "Originally, such a big matter, no matter which leader or city it's in, would be a problem because it's not easy to handle. Even if it's handled well, all the leaders did was their duty. But once there are casualties, then there's only responsibility. Never mind credit; giving disciplinary action would be good enough. But this time, my bit of medical skill came in handy. Not a single person died, and Xie Huilan was the first leader to arrive at the scene on time. I'm also her husband, so this counts as a political achievement. There should be no problem with the transfer, and it might even add quite a few points to the position she's going to. But I'm unsure about the specifics; let's wait for her to return."

Luan Xiaoping asked, "Did you still stitch people up?"

Dong Xuebing sweated. "What do you mean stitching people? That's called suturing."

"Back then, when your pants were torn, you didn't even know how to sew them up. You have such courage, yet you dare to stitch people up. Don't mess up someone's wound again." Luan Xiaoping worried.

"Oh, it won't mess up. It's just simple treatment." Dong Xuebing boasted, "Your son is quite capable now. What can't he do?"

Qu Yunxuan patted his head. "You're always bragging."

Dong Xuebing glared at Qu Yunxuan, holding his daughter, "The child is here. Don't hit my head; where should I put my image as a father?"

It was not yet seven o'clock.

Xie Huilan came home tired and dusty.

Qu Yunxuan looked at her, "Didn't you say to call me when you got to the bottom of the building?"

Luan Xiaoping said, "Yunxuan and Xuebing also said they would come downstairs to pick you up, afraid you'd be too tired to come up."

Xie Huilan chuckled and touched her big belly, "It's okay, just a bit hungry."

"You wait. I will cook for you." Luan Xiaoping went to the kitchen.

Qu Yunxuan also went, "Let me help too, Xuebing. You take care of the kids, and I'll help Mom with cooking."

"Alright, leave it to me." Dong Xuebing held the child with one hand and supported Huilan with the other. After she sat down, he kissed her belly and said, "Don't run around these days."

Xie Huilan smiled slightly, "I know the due date is approaching. After we handle things here, I'll go home and rest for maternity leave."

"Yaya," Qianqian waved her hands.

Xie Huilan smiled, squinted, and teased her, "Little one, missing your godmother? You can't ask to be carried by godmother now. There's a little one in godmother's belly, too. You can't be carried right now. Go find your dad to play with, hehe."

Meanwhile, the local TV news was airing.

Footage of Xie Huilan and Dong Xuebing appeared, along with some interviews with the crowd at the scene.

Finally, Dong Xuebing showed his face and said to the camera, "My wife Xie Huilan often tells me that we officials are here to serve the people, so there's nothing to say. Duty calls."

"You're saying this again," Xie Huilan chuckled.

Dong Xuebing was very satisfied with his performance and said, "Not bad, huh? Our political consciousness is quite strong. I've given you all the limelight."

Xie Huilan praised, "Your performance this time is indeed good."

"What do you mean this time'? " Dong Xuebing said proudly every time I do well, "Don't be fooled by my troublemaking. Whenever it's critical, I've never let anyone down."

Xie Huilan affectionately patted his hand, "Okay, my little husband is amazing."

"That's about right. By the way, did you inquire about the transfer?"

"Not so fast. I was in touch a while ago, but it's still unclear."

"It should have been settled. Forget about anything else; there are always a few casualties in every major traffic accident across the country. But this time, not a single one. That alone should be enough."

Ring, ring, ring.

The phone interrupted.

Xie Huilan picked up the phone and said, "Hello, Dad. Yeah, both Xuebing and I are fine. Don't worry about Mom too much. Yeah, I understand. Is the position confirmed? Okay, I got it." After a few words, she hung up.

Dong Xuebing asked, "What's up with our dad?"

"He asked about us, about us," Xie Huilan smiled, "And I also told you that my transfer has been confirmed."

Dong Xuebing was surprised, "What position is confirmed?"

"A small prefecture-level city in the south."

"So far away. What's the position?"

"Well, the City Party Secretary."

"Wow," Dong Xuebing exclaimed in surprise, "You're going straight to the top. This is a three-level leap. Are you sure you're confirmed as the Secretary of the City Party Committee?"

"Confirmed, hehe."

Mom in the kitchen spoke up, "What's confirmed?"

Dong Xuebing laughed, "Huilan is getting promoted. She'll be the Secretary of the City Party Committee in a city in the south."

"The City Party Secretary?" Luan Xiaoping was stunned. "That's even higher than your Uncle Yang's position."

"It can't be compared like that. That city is much smaller than Lu An City."

"But it's still the Secretary of the City Party Committee," Luan Xiaoping was a little excited. "Mom, make a few more dishes. We need to celebrate this. It's a big event. The baby is also about to be born. This is double happiness."

Dong Xuebing chuckled, "I got promoted too, triple happiness."
