Chapter 593: Go to hell!

Chapter 593: Go to hell!

Afternoon.

It is the hottest season of the year. Dong Xuebing had lunch at a random restaurant and drove back to Guang Ming Subdistrict Office.

"Eh? Director is back."

"Isn't he brought back to the police station?"

"This…… he is alright now?" Dong Xuebing's return sparked a new round of discussion among the staff. A few staff who are well informed had received the shocking news from the Second Hospital. Nan Shan District Organization Department Chief's son had faked his injuries. His broken ribs and arm fracture are the results of a fabricated injury report. He was not injured and had done this to blackmail and frame Director Dong. Guang Ming Subdistrict Office's staff are united after Dong Xuebing was appointed. It is because of his achievements, and many staff is mad when they hear the latest news. Damn! Even if you are the Organization Department Chief, you cannot do what you want. Do you think Guang Ming Subdistrict Office is a pushover, and you can frame whoever you want?!

At the same time, a new question came to their minds. What is wrong with Guo Mingfeng, Deputy Director Guo?

"Do you still need to ask? He must have given a false statement!"

"That's right. Xue Xiaoliang had faked his injuries, and his statement must be false too!"

"That means Director Dong did see Director Guo was attacked and went to help him?!"

"Director Guo turned around and stabbed Director Dong?"

"Director Guo is too much."

"This is too much. How can a person do this to someone who helped him?"

"He was saved by Director Dong and still tried to frame him?! How can he do such things?"

"We are all from the same unit and should help each other. Deputy Director Guo is ungrateful! What was he thinking?"

"Maybe Chief Xue had exerted pressure on him."

"He can keep quiet. He doesn't need to give a false statement to frame others!"

"Let's wait and see. Knowing our Director Dong's temper, he will not let Director Guo off lightly."

"That's right. He will take revenge."

"I think so too. But it's not easy to take down Director Guo."

The Subdistrict Office staff had seen Dong Xuebing's "working style" and knew he would get back at Guo Mingfeng for backstabbing him.

Side building.

Work Party Secretary Office.

Dong Xuebing lit a cigarette and called Qu Yiqiang and Zhou Yanru to his office. He had taken care of Second Hospital's Director Wu, and his next target is Guo Mingfeng. He will not let Guo Mingfeng off. He had saved him from being beaten up by Xue Xiaoliang because they are colleagues, but the latter tried to frame him in the end.

Knock… knock…

Dong Xuebing looks up. "Come in."

Zhou Yanru and Qu Yiqiang entered the office. "Director, did Xue Xiaoliang really fake his injuries?" They had received news of what happened at the hospital.

"A re-examination of his injuries was conducted, and he is found to be fine." Dong Xuebing nodded.

"This is too much! How can he do such things?!" Zhou Yanru said angrily. Qu Yiqiang is also mad, but he is puzzled. For someone who can be the Organization Department Chief, Xue Qingrong should not make this mistake. What grudges does he have with Dong Xuebing? Why did he try to frame Dong Xuebing with a fabricated injury report? This should not be what a District Government Organization Department Chief would do. The only explanation is his son, Xue Xiaoliang, had planned this setup and did not tell his father. With Xue Qingrong's political wisdom, he will never make this mistake.

Dong Xuebing asked with a straight face. "Has Guo Mingfeng come to work?"

"He had come back at noon for a while and left." Zhou Yanru's face changed. "I met him at the cafeteria during lunch."

Qu Yiqiang glanced at Zhou Yanru and turned to Dong Xuebing. He laughed. "Our Director Zhou is courageous. She saw Guo Mingfeng and scolded him in front of everyone. Even Secretary Geng had to step in."

Qu Yiqiang had no ill intentions when he said this. He knows Zhou Yanru could not tell Dong Xuebing what she did and said it for her.

Zhou Yanru is slightly embarrassed. "I was too angry and could not hold back. Director, what I did will have a negative impact. I request for punishment." Dong Xuebing knows Zhou Yanru is not an impulsive person like him. She is trying to show her loyalty to him by scolding Guo Mingfeng in public. This is her way of telling him that she is on his side no matter what happens. Her gesture touches dong Xuebing. She might be talkative, but she is not afraid of offending others. This is also the reason why he treated her as his trusted aide.

Dong Xuebing did not scold Zhou Yanru. "You are right to scold Guo Mingfeng. His action and thinking are a serious problem."

Qu Yiqiang also felt Guo Mingfeng had crossed the line. "What did the Police say about this incident?"

"I had asked the Police to investigate this incident." Dong Xuebing looks at them. "Does Guo Mingfeng have any disciplinary issues or problems?"

Qu Yiqiang shook his head. "Deputy Director Guo has been in the Government Service for quite some time, and he is very careful with his lifestyle. We had not received any complaints against him." He chose to use the word, 'careful' because no one has found any evidence of his wrongdoings. He knows Dong Xuebing is going to take revenge, and he is saying it is impossible to take Guo Mingfeng down using the Commission for Discipline Inspection.

Both of them left Dong Xuebing's office after a while.

Dong Xuebing thought about the ways to deal with Guo Mingfeng. He cannot take him down with the regulations and wonders if he can transfer him away through the Organization Department.

As Dong Xuebing is thinking about his revenge, Work Party Deputy Secretary Geng Xinke knocked on the door and entered.

"Secretary Geng?" Dong Xuebing looks at him. "Have a seat."

Geng Xinke is looking terrible. "Work Party Office Department's Director Zhou had scolded Director Guo this afternoon. She does not have the correct mindset of a Civil Servant, and this incident had a negative impact. This is a serious issue, and such incidents must be stopped. I suggest reprimanding Zhou Yanru."

Dong Xuebing laughed. "Correct mindset? I think we should doubt Deputy Director Guo's mindset."

Geng Xinke pretends not to know anything. "What do you mean?"

"Don't tell me that you are not aware of him giving false statements to the Police?"

"False statement? I don't know anything about this." Geng Xinke asked. "Is it regarding last night's incident? Didn't the Police have investigated this incident, and Director Guo was only passing by that area?"

Dong Xuebing does not like to speak with Geng Xinke, and he suspects the latter was here to mock him. He might even be the one who asked Guo Mingfeng to give that false statement. Dong Xuebing immediately knows his plan to transfer Guo Mingfeng away will not work as Geng Xinke will not allow anyone to touch his men. Even if he submit the transfer application to the District Organization Party, Xue Qingrong and Mayor Geng will not approve it.

Hmph! This is a problem. Guo Mingfeng had backstabbed me, and I can't do anything to him?!

Dong Xuebing took out his phone and called Guo Mingfeng. He wants to know if he was forced to give the false statement or did it himself.

Ring… ring… ring… The call got through.

Guo Mingfeng answered the call unwillingly after a while. "Hello, Director Dong."

Dong Xuebing had become calmer compared to the past. He laughed and asked sarcastically. "Why are you not at work today? How is your face injury? Is it better?"

Guo Mingfeng paused for a second. He is afraid Dong Xuebing might record their conversation and stick to his statement to the Police. "Thank you for your concern. I am feeling much better. It was just a slight knock when I was opening the door."

Dong Xuebing let out a cold laughter. "Slight knock when you were opening the door?"

"Yes."

"Deputy Director Guo, do you think this is the right thing to do?"

Guo Mingfeng replied. "What do you mean? I don't get it."

Dong Xuebing continued. "I want you to tell me your account of what happened last night."

"About the assault incident?" Guo Mingfeng was more suspicious of Dong Xuebing recording their conversation, and he replied without thinking. "I was passing that area and saw you and Xue Xiaoliang in a heated argument. After that, you attacked him."

Dong Xuebing laughed. "Are you serious?"

"That's what I saw."

"Then who is the person I saved from Xue Xiaoliang's baton?"

"You saved someone? I did not see anyone else. You might be drunk and remembered wrongly."

Do you still want to insist I was drunk?!

Damn! You still want to accuse me now?! Guo Mingfeng!

Dong Xuebing had wanted to give Guo Mingfeng a chance. If Xue Qingrong pressured him to accuse him, Dong Xuebing would let him off if he apologized and told the truth to the Police. He is not an unreasonable person, but Guo Mingfeng still wants to accuse him of attacking someone and drinking driving now.

F*CK you!

Guo Mingfeng! If I can't deal with you, I will change my surname!

Dong Xuebing believes in mutual respect, and he doesn't mind losing his job to drag his enemies down with him!

Go to hell!

Do you think anyone can backstab me? There is a price to pay for backstabbing me!

Chapter 594: Dong Xuebing's wicked plan!

End of the day.

The sky is still bright.

Guang Ming Subdistrict Office is tense in the afternoon. Everyone is careful of what they say, and they are monitoring the situation.

Ring… ring… ring… Dong Xuebing was packing up when he received a call.

It's the District Enforcement Unit's Team Leader. "Hello, is this Director Dong?"

Dong Xuebing narrowed his eyes. "It's me. How is the investigation?"

"We had spoken to Guo Mingfeng and Xue Xiaoliang this afternoon, and they are sticking to their previous statements."

"Does this mean I have to take the blame if they refuse to admit it?"

"I'm sorry. We could not find new evidence, and both witnesses' statements are the same. It's hard to have new conclusions."

"What about the injury on Guo Mingfeng's face?"

"It is not enough as we can't prove the injury was caused by Xue Xiaoliang."

"What about that fabricated injury report? What's the outcome?"

"Our men are with Xue Xiaoliang at First Hospital for a re-examination. We will let you know once we know the results."

Dong Xuebing thought to himself after hanging up. It's been a few hours, and the re-examination is not complete. Needless to say, Xue Qingrong is trying to drag it out and try to cover it up. But Dong Xuebing is not concerned with Xue Xiaoliang and his father. He will settle the score with them after dealing with Guo Mingfeng. None of them can escape!

But how is he going to deal with Guo Mingfeng?

Dong Xuebing cannot use the regulations or transfer him away. He also doesn't have evidence of him giving a false statement. There's no way to deal with Guo Mingfeng through proper channels. This is also the result of him not having a good relationship with Nan Shan District Government Leaders. Without support from the higher-up, it will be hard for Dong Xuebing to do anything. He can only watch Guo Mingfeng accuse him and can't retaliate. Is Dong Xuebing out of ideas? Impossible! Since he cannot bring himself down with normal methods, he will use extreme methods! This is where Dong Xuebing excels!

You dare to challenge and accuse me?!

Then I don't think you should blame me for not holding back!

Evening.

Guang Ming Subdistrict Office Family Quarters.

Dong Xuebing leaned against the window frame and smoked after dinner. His laptop is playing a pop song behind him, and he is tapping along with the beats.

One minute….

Five minutes….

Thirty minutes….

Suddenly, a middle-aged woman enters the family quarter's compound. She is holding a grocery basket with her right hand and seems to have returned from grocery shopping. Dong Xuebing knows this woman is Guo Mingfeng's wife. She had stopped working after the button factory she worked at closed down.

It's the time!

Guo Mingfeng and his family are staying on the second floor, unit 201.

Dong Xuebing snubbed his cigarette and switched off the music. He opened his door and walked down to the stair landing between level three and level four.

Ta… ta… ta… ta… ta… ta….

The footsteps of Guo Mingfeng's wife got louder, followed by the sounds of her opening the door.

STOP!

Time stopped!

Dong Xuebing doesn't have a lot of time remaining, and he quickly runs down the stairs. A middle-aged woman is holding on to the door handle and is about to enter the apartment. He runs over and squeezes himself through the gap before running into the apartment's master bedroom. He deactivated STOP once he entered the bedroom.

Time resumed.

"Oh, are you back?" Guo Mingfeng said.

"Can't you see for yourself? Are you blind?" Guo Mingfeng's wife replied angrily.

"What are you so mad? Are you trying to pick a fight?"

"Do you know how everyone from your workplace looks at me when I come back? Ah? You are useless! You had been beaten by Xue Xiaoliang but refused to admit and offended Dong Xuebing! Now, everyone knows you had given a false statement!"

"Let them say whatever they want! They have no evidence!"

"What are you thinking? Why would you offend your Subdistrict Office's No. 1 for no reason?"

"What do you know? Ah? If I don't offend Dong Xuebing, I would be offending Xue Qingrong. You should know who holds more power. Xue Qingrong had called and hinted to me to pin everything to Dong Xuebing! He is the District Organization Chief! What else can I do? Do you think I want to give a false statement to help Xue Xiaoliang?! I wish I could kill that little bastard with one kick!" Guo Mingfeng did not hold back his words as they were at home.

"But Dong Xuebing had to save you, and you…."

"What's there to say now? He is up to no good when he saves me. He wants to pull me over to his side and create a rift between Xinke and me. He has a motive for saving me, and why should I be grateful to him? Furthermore, Xinke will be suppressed when he is around in the Subdistrict Office, and it will take a long time for him to get promoted. If he doesn't get promoted, how am I supposed to move up? That's why Dong Xuebing got to step aside. I thought this incident could bring him down, but Xue Xiaoliang had faked his injuries and was discovered. Dong Xuebing is lucky to escape this time." Guo Mingfeng knew he had miscalculated. If Dong Xuebing had not been brought down, his false statement would have become a timebomb, and he is in a bad mood because of this.

Bedroom.

Dong Xuebing is furious when he hears what Guo Mingfeng says. I had saved you from Xue Xiaoliang, and you claim I have other motives?! Xue Qingrong had pressured you, but the main reason for backstabbing me is you want to get rid of me for your benefit.

You are digging your grave!

Dong Xuebing took out his phone and wanted to record Guo Mingfeng's conversation. This is his purpose of entering his apartment. He had admitted to giving a false statement in the conversation, and the recording can be used as evidence. But everyone will think he had installed listening devices in his subordinates' apartments. It will be bad for his reputation and will leave a bad impression. Guo Mingfeng can also claim he was drunk last night and could not remember the details. At most, he will be transferred to another department with Geng Xinke's help. The recording is not sufficient to terminate him.

A recording will not work.

It will not bring down Guo Mingfeng and still will affect Dong Xuebing's reputation.

Dong Xuebing started thinking of a way to give Guo Mingfeng a deadly blow.

The conversation in the living continues.

"What are you going to do now? Dong Xuebing is fine now."

"……"

"Say something! What are you going to do?"

"Let's wait and see. Anyway, he can't do anything to me."

"He is the Director, and you think he can't do anything to you?!"

"You don't know anything. It might be possible if it is someone else. But Dong Xuebing couldn't do anything to me because he had not established any connections with the higher-ups. Secondly, he had offended Mayor Geng and Wang Shian's wife during the wedding banquet. This is his weak point, and Xinke will not allow him to do anything to me. Without evidence, the District Government will not do anything to me." Guo Mingfeng relaxed. That's right. Dong Xuebing cannot do anything to him.

"Are you sure you will be fine?"

"Of course. It's too late to regret offending him now. At most, I will try to avoid him at work. What can he do to me? I will monitor the situation, and this might be an opportunity for me. Xue Qingrong owes me a favor because of this incident. The fake injury report will not harm him as he had established his network over his years here. With his and Xinke's help, I might even be promoted after this incident is settled."

"Huh? You might still be promoted?" Guo Mingfeng's wife was surprised. She felt it would be a miracle if Dong Xuebing did not target Guo Mingfeng. How is it possible he might be promoted?

Guo Mingfeng got excited when he thought about it. "I had done Xue Qingrong's son a big favor, and he will not allow Dong Xuebing to penalize me after this case is settled. I might really get something good out of this!"

Dong Xuebing almost burst out laughing. You gave a false statement to frame, and you are thinking of getting a promotion?! Do you think I am invisible?

Guo Mingfeng's wife asked. "Does that mean offending Dong Xuebing is a good move?"

"You are right." Guo Mingfeng laughed. "Who cares about offending him? He is not Wang Anshi."

"Hmph! You would have shat your pants if you had offended Secretary Wang."

"What's so great about Wang Anshi?" Guo Mingfeng retorted. "He had gotten his position because of his wife's family. I don't think he is capable of moving up with his capabilities. He had been suppressed by Mayor Geng these few years. Both of them are almost equivalent now."

"You are jealous of him."

"What's there to be jealous of?"

"You are jealous of his wife's family network, and she has a better figure than me!"

"You are wrong about this. Last year, I went to the District Party Committee and knocked into Wang Anshi's wife at a corner. My arm brushed against her breast. It felt soft, and it's obvious she had used padding to increase the size. Your figure is better."

"Stop touching me."

"Your man had even touched the District Party Secretary's wife. Why can't I touch you?"

"Get lost! It's dinner time."

They had been married for years and could say anything to each other.

This might be a joke between Guo Mingfeng and his wife, but not to others. Dong Xuebing's eyes suddenly brighten up. A wicked plan was formulated in his mind!

Chapter 595: You are finished!

Evening.

Guo Mingfeng's apartment.

Dong Xuebing knows his opportunity is here when he heard Guo Mingfeng and his wife talking about the District's Party Secretary. He has never been benevolent to his enemies. Voice recording? This is not the best strategy, and it is too purposeful. Furthermore, it is easy to fabricate voice recordings with today's technology. This is not the best solution, and Dong Xuebing has a more wicked plan in mind. He wants to teach Guo Mingfeng a painful lesson!

Guo Mingfeng!

I shall see how you are going to redeem yourself!

BACK 40 seconds!

Time returned to 40 seconds earlier!

Time returns to the part where Guo Mingfeng's wife asked.

"What are you going to do now? Dong Xuebing is fine now."

"……"

"Say something! What are you going to do?"

"Let's wait and see. Anyway, he can't do anything to me."

"He is the Director, and you think he can't do anything to you?!"

Dong Xuebing laughed in his heart and checked his remaining time using MENU. It is sufficient, and he activated STOP!

Time stopped!

Dong Xuebing walked into the living room and saw Guo Mingfeng looking at his wife with a cigarette between his lips. He looked around and could not find the thing he wanted. So, he searched Guo Mingfeng's pockets, but his handphone was not there. He frowned and looked around. A few moments later, he saw Guo Mingfeng's phone under the sofa's cushion.

Found it!

Dong Xuebing picks up the phone and puts back the cushion in its original position before returning to the bedroom. Deactivate STOP!

Time resumed!

"You don't know anything. It might be possible if it is someone else. But Dong Xuebing couldn't do anything to me because he had not established any connections with the higher-ups. Secondly, he had offended Mayor Geng and Wang Shian's wife during the wedding banquet. This is his weak point, and Xinke will not allow him to do anything to me. Without evidence, the District Government will not do anything to me."

Dong Xuebing is not angry after hearing this for the second time. He checked the District's Party Secretary's phone number in his phone with a smile and used Guo Mingfeng to dial it. Wang Anshi's phone number is not a secret. Anyone with status can get it when they ask around. But not many dare to call him directly. Even someone at Dong Xuebing's position is not allowed to call him. If he wants to speak to Wang Anshi, he has to call his secretary first. Only the District Party Committee members are allowed to call Wang Anshi's private number. But after Dong Xuebing dialed the first few numbers of Wang Anshi's number, he realized Guo Mingfeng had saved the number in his phone.

Dong Xuebing looks at the number and press call!

Ring… ring… ring….

The call got through. Dong Xuebing prayed in his heart. Please answer the call!

One second…. Two seconds…. Three seconds….

"With his and Xinke's help, I might even be promoted after this incident is settled."

"Huh? You might still be promoted?"

"I had done Xue Qingrong's son a big favor, and he will not allow Dong Xuebing to penalize me after this case is settled. I might get something good out of this!"

"Does that mean offending Dong Xuebing is a good move?"

Wang Anshi answered as the conversation outside continued!

Wang Anshi said into the phone. "Hello, who's this?" Dong Xuebing brightens up and immediately activates STOP in his heart!

Time stopped again!

Dong Xuebing took a deep breath and walked into the living room. He glanced at Guo Mingfeng and his wife and laughed. He carefully placed the phone under the cushion and returned to the bedroom. He took another deep breath and deactivated STOP!

Time resumed!

District Party Secretary Wang Anshi had finished work late today. He was in his Audi on his way home when his phone rang. He didn't recognize the number, and he answered.

One second….

Two seconds….

Three seconds….

The caller is not saying anything.

Wang Anshi frowned. "Hello? Hello?"

Such calls are quite common, and Wang Anshi knows many of his subordinates have his number. Wang is a common surname, and it's easily mixed up. His subordinates will also not save his number under Wang Anshi. Most of them will save it as "Anshi Party Secretary," and his number will appear at the top in the phonebook of most people's phone. When people forget to lock their screens, they might accidentally call Wang Anshi's phone. This happens almost every one or two months.

When Wang Anshi was about to hang up, he heard someone saying his name.

"…… is a good move?"

"You are right. Who cares about offending him? He is not Wang Anshi."

"Hmph! You would have shat your pants if you had offended Secretary Wang."

Wang Anshi's hand stopped and frowned. He did not hang up the call.

Wang Anshi continued to listen to the conversation, and his face changed!

A man said. "What's so great about Wang Anshi? He had gotten his position because of his wife's family. I don't think he is capable of moving up with his capabilities. He had been suppressed by Mayor Geng these few years. Both of them are almost equivalent now."

"You are jealous of him."

"What's there to be jealous of?"

"You are jealous of his wife's family network, and she has a better figure than me!"

"You are wrong about this. Last year, I went to the District Party Committee and knocked into Wang Anshi's wife at a corner. My arm brushed against her breast. It felt soft, and it's obvious she had used padding to increase the size. Your figure is better."

"Stop touching me."

"Your man had even touched the District Party Secretary's wife. Why can't I touch you?"

"Get lost! It's dinner time."

"Haha… your breasts are bigger than Wang Anshi's wife."

"Stop it! I dare you to say this in front of Wang Anshi!"

Dong Xuebing covered his forehead and couldn't bear to listen anymore.

Their laughter in the living room continues. Guo Mingfeng is in a good mood as he feels he might be promoted because of this incident, and he enters the kitchen with his wife to prepare dinner. Suddenly, the phone on the sofa rang.

Ring… ring… ring…

"Wash the vegetables while I answer this call." Guo Mingfeng returns to the living room to get his phone. He was about to answer when he saw the caller ID. "Ah!"

"What happened?" Guo Mingfeng's wife asked.

"Wang Anshi is calling."

"Wang Anshi? Our District's Party Secretary?"

"Shh… keep quiet." Guo Mingfeng doesn't know why Secretary Wang is calling him, and he answered cautiously. "Hello, Secretary Wang…. Huh? I'm Guo Mingfeng from Guang Ming Subdistrict Office…. Hello? Hello? Secretary Wang? Are you there?" The other party hangs up.

Guo Mingfeng's wife walks out of the kitchen. "What happened? What did he say?"

Guo Mingfeng is puzzled. "Secretary Wang only asks who am I and hangs up after I tell him my name."

"I think he had called the wrong number." Guo Mingfeng's wife shook her head.

Guo Mingfeng also felt the same. Why would the District Party Secretary call him? He must have dialed the wrong number. "I think so too." He thought nothing about this.

Dong Xuebing almost burst out laughing. He had achieved his purpose and had no reason to remain there. He mumbled STOP!

Time stopped!

Dong Xuebing walked out of the bedroom and was about to leave. But he thought for a while and walked into the kitchen. He patted Guo Mingfeng's shoulder sympathetically. He sympathizes with him. "I have respect for you, Bro. You dare to touch the District Party Secretary's wife and gossip behind his back. You even dare to say he got to his position by depending on a woman, and his wife's breasts are soft. If this does not bring you down, I will walk backward for the rest of my life!"

Guo Mingfeng and his wife were frozen in place and could not hear what Dong Xuebing said.

Dong Xuebing patted Guo Mingfeng's shoulder again and walked out of the apartment. He closed the door behind him and deactivated STOP!

Dong Xuebing shook his head as he looked at Guo Mingfeng's apartment before walking up the stairs. You are finished!

Chapter 596: The District Party Secretary's anger!

The next day.

Morning. Guang Ming Subdistrict. The staff is still talking about yesterday's incident.

"Do you think something will happen today?"

"I don't think so. You should know our Director had offended a lot of people."

"That's right. Director Dong had offended almost all the District Leaders. Even if Deputy Director Guo had given a false statement, he can't do anything to him."

"Nothing will happen to Director Guo as the District Government will not take action, and there is no evidence."

"If Director Dong cannot do anything to Director Guo, it will be a blow to his authority. Everyone knows Director Guo had stabbed Director Dong in his back."

"Let's stop talking about this. This is too sensitive."

"Director Dong is here."

Dong Xuebing's car entered the compound and parked outside the building. Guo Mingfeng had framed the Subdistrict's No. 1. if he doesn't do anything to him, it will give others the impression that he is useless. That's why Dong Xuebing must deal with Guo Mingfeng and use him as an example to warn others.

"Good morning, Director Dong."

Guo Mingfeng had arrived at work and greeted Dong Xuebing.

Guo Mingfeng has analyzed the situation and knows Dong Xuebing cannot do anything to him. He might even get a promotion. That's why he is not worried and is in a good mood. He made it look like framing Dong Xuebing was a trivial matter from the smile on his face and even greeted him warmly.

Dong Xuebing tried his best to hold his laughter. He let out a laugh and walked over to Guo Mingfeng. He patted his shoulder lightly. "Good morning, Director Guo."

Guo Mingfeng was stunned. Why are you so happy today?

The staff was also puzzled. What happened to Dong Xuebing? How can he smile in this situation?

"Eh? Secretary Qu is here." Dong Xuebing saw Qu Yiqiang entering the compound.

"Director." Qu Yiqiang greeted Dong Xuebing, and he frowned when he saw Guo Mingfeng.

"I need to discuss something with you. Let's go to my office now." Dong Xuebing waved and walked towards the side building with Qu Yiqiang.

Dong Xuebing's office.

Dong Xuebing asked Qu Yiqiang to sit and asked. "Have you sorted the materials to report Guo Mingfeng?"

"I had sorted it yesterday." Qu Yiqiang looks at Dong Xuebing. "But those reports are ambiguous. The higher-ups might not…."

Dong Xuebing interrupted. "Send it to the District Commission for Discipline Inspection Party Committee! Now!"

"This…." Qu Yiqiang felt this was too rash. Such a report should go through the Work Party Committee before it is being submitted to the District. But it can still be submitted if Dong Xuebing signs it. However, this will create conflicts between the Subdistrict Leaders, and the District will not like it. Even if the report is given to the District Leaders, there is no evidence of these allegations. It is impossible to bring down Guo Mingfeng with it. Mayor Geng and Secretary Wang will not allow it. That's why Qu Yiqiang felt this move was useless and is puzzled why Dong Xuebing wanted to do this.

Dong Xuebing knew what Qu Yiqiang was thinking and laughed. "I know what I am doing. Hurry up and submit it."

Qu Yiqiang paused for a second and nodded. "Alright…. I will go to the District Commission for Discipline Inspection Party Committee now."

"Oh, I remember there will be a District Party Committee Meeting today. Do you know what time is it?"

"Most Party Committee Meetings are held around 10 am."

Dong Xuebing nodded and hurried Qu Yiqiang again. He wants the report to be given to the District Committee before the meeting starts.

Qu Yiqiang sensed Dong Xuebing must have a plan as the latter kept hurrying him. He did not ask any more questions and immediately left.

Dong Xuebing lit a cigarette in his office with a smile. He doesn't know how Wang Anshi would react, and submitting this report against Guo Mingfeng now is the right time. This is equivalent to giving Wang Anshi a bullet to shoot him. No evidence? The allegations are insufficient? These are not problems. It might be impossible if the District Party Committee wants to bring down Geng Xinke. After all, Geng Yuehua is one of the Committee Members. But it is not a problem if Wang Anshi wants to bring down an insignificant Deputy Director of a Subdistrict Office. Dong Xuebing is making use of him to get rid of Guo Mingfeng.

……

News of Qu Yiqiang submitting a report against Guo Mingfeng to the District spreads. It is impossible to hide it as this is through the proper channel. Everyone in Guang Ming Subdistrict is speechless.

This new Director is always doing things no one can expect!

Geng Xinke immediately calls Dong Xuebing in his office. He did not come over to look for him as he was too angry. He also doesn't have any respect for him now. "How come I am not informed that a report against Guo Mingfeng is submitted to the District Commission for Discipline Inspection?"

Dong Xuebing laughed. "I am the one who approved it."

"Those allegations have no evidence! Director! You will disappoint our comrades!"

"Secretary Geng, you should not think this way. I also believe there is nothing wrong with Comrade Guo's finances. But we must look into it when someone reports it. This is our responsibility to every comrade. We can also prove Comrade Guo is innocent after the investigation."

Geng Xinke's angry expression disappeared after hanging up the call. He smiled and felt Dong Xuebing had gone crazy. He is attacking everyone without thinking about the consequences. How old is he? Twenty-four? He is too inexperienced. The District will not do anything with such a report!

Guo Mingfeng, who is in his office, is furious when he hears about it. He did not expect Dong Xuebing to be so ruthless. There is a lack of evidence, and he still submits the report to the District. This shows everyone that they had fallen out. Guo Mingfeng knows Dong Xuebing is still the Subdistrict's No. 1. Even if he has a bad relationship with the District Leaders, he still has bigger authority than him, and Geng Xinke can't stop him. Guo Mingfeng thought for a while and calmed down. The District will not take action as there is no evidence of those allegations. The damage towards him is negligible. Instead, Dong Xuebing will be in trouble and will be reprimanded. The District Leaders will scold him for overreacting. This is putting him in trouble!

Half an hour……

One hour……

Two hours……

Everyone thought Dong Xuebing had made a bad move this time.

When Guang Ming Subdistrict Office staff heard of the outcome after the District Party Committee Meeting ended, they were shocked. The District Commission for Discipline Inspection will be investigating the allegations, and Guang Ming Subdistrict Deputy Director Guo Mingfeng will be suspended!

Everyone is stunned.

How is this possible?!

Suspended for investigation?! Guo Mingfeng is finished!

Everyone knows no one is clean in the government service. Even if someone is not corrupted or receives any bribes, they will receive gifts during festivals. These gifts are enough to bring down a Government Leader. This means Guo Mingfeng is finished after the District's Commission for Discipline Inspection stepped in. The chances of him escaping unharmed are almost zero. Not only will his career come to a standstill, but he might also even lose his current position!

What happened?

What the hell is going on?!

……

Work Party Deputy Secretary Office.

Guo Mingfeng rushed into the office without knocking. He is panicking. "Secretary Geng! I…… the District…. Are the news real?"

Geng Xinke looked terrible and waved to Guo Mingfeng. He is on a phone call.

One minute later, Geng Xinke threw his phone on the table and stared at Guo Mingfeng. "It's confirmed. You…. When did you offend Wang Ahshi?"

"Secretary Wang?" Guo Mingfeng is confused. "When did I offend Secretary Wang? Impossible. I have not even spoken to him before!"

Geng Xinke clenched his teeth. "Secretary Wang was furious during the Party Committee Meeting. He threw the report Dong Xuebing submitted on the table in front of everyone!"

Wang Anshi is targeting me?!

Guo Mingfeng does not believe this is happening. "This is impossible!"

Geng Xinke did not continue and sighed. He knows this is over, and he cannot help Guo Mingfeng anymore. It is not difficult if Wang Anshi wants to bring down Guo Mingfeng. Furthermore, he had heard Wang Anshi had lost his temper from his sister's secretary. It's rare for Secretary Wang to lose his temper, and even the Mayor got to give in to him under such circumstances. That's why Guo Mingfeng is finished, and no one can help him.

Knock… knock… knock….

Three men entered the office and showed their work passes. "We are from the District Commission for Discipline Inspection. Are you Guo Mingfeng? We need you to come with us."

Guo Mingfeng turns pale. Until now, he still doesn't know what happened!

Didn't Dong Xuebing have offended the District Party Committee? Why is Wang Anshi helping Dong Xuebing now?!

Not only is Guo Mingfeng is confused, everyone in the Subdistrict Office is puzzled. No one had expected the District Government to accept that report!

The only thing everyone knows is Dong Xuebing has directly caused Guo Mingfeng to be suspended using some unknown methods. If not, the allegations will not be accepted!

Some of the staff, who had thought nothing of Dong Xuebing previously, shivered. Director Dong had shown everyone that even if he doesn't have a good relationship with the District Leaders and doesn't have evidence, he can still deal with the ones who offended him! No one can escape!

Chapter 597: Guo Mingfeng changed his statement!

Before noon.

The District Commission for Discipline Inspection staff knocked and entered the Work Party Committee Secretary's office.

The staff asked politely. "Are you Director Dong? I am from the District Commission for Discipline Inspection. We had received instructions to bring comrade Guo Mingfeng back for investigation about his finances."

Dong Xuebing nodded. "Do we need to do anything to assist in the investigation?"

"We might need to conduct a follow-up investigation here later."

"Alright. I will make the necessary arrangements."

The District Commission for Discipline Inspection staff is following the protocol. They are bringing Guang Ming Subdistrict Office's staff back, and they need to inform Dong Xuebing.

After they left, Dong Xuebing walked to the window and looked at them, escorting Guo Mingfeng into the car. He narrowed his eyes and felt he had done a good job. His next target is Xue Qingrong and his son. He will not let anyone who had accused and framed him off lightly, even if he is the District's Organization Department Chief!

Dong Xuebing picked up the phone and called the District Public Security Bureau, Enforcement Unit's Team Leader.

"Hello, I'm Dong Xuebing. Is there any progress with the investigation?"

"Not yet. We… still can't gather enough evidence."

"Xue Xiaoliang's fabricated injury report is insufficient? He should be confirmed to be not injured by now. It's been a day."

"We confirmed it was Second Hospital's Director Wu who had changed the injury report, and the investigation is passed to the relevant department."

"Huh? The case had been withdrawn?"

"No. It's not withdrawn. It is handled to the Health Ministry to investigate."

Dong Xuebing is no surprise after hanging up. He knows Xue Qingrong will use his network to drag this case and push everything to the suspended Deputy Director Wu. It will be treated as a medical misdiagnosis to lessen his son's responsibility. If his son can shirk responsibility, he will not be affected. He has been the Organization Department Chief in Nan Shan District for many years and has built a strong network. But Dong Xuebing is not anxious. He had thought carefully before targeting Guo Mingfeng first. This incident is not over, and he is waiting for the show to start.

District Party Committee.

Organization Department Chief's office.

Xue Qingrong is on the phone with his son. "Where are you?"

"I am at home. Dad, am I fine now?"

"Yes. Just stay at home and don't go out these few days."

"I know. But Dong Xuebing……"

"Stay out of this and try to stay low these few days. Do you understand?"

"Yes." Xue Xiaoliang could not accept this. He has never suffered such a big loss in his life and is thinking of ways to get back at Dong Xuebing.

After hanging up, Xue Qingrong's eyes turned cold. Although Dong Xuebing had caused a lot of trouble for him, it didn't affect him. He is the Organization Department, and his son's incident is considered settled after utilizing his networks. But he is still puzzled why the District Party Secretary, Wang Anshi, had lost his temper and wants to target Guo Mingfeng. Xue Qingrong is in Wang Anshi's faction, and everyone knows it. If Wang Anshi is going after Guo Mingfeng, he should be informed before the meeting. He did not stop Wang Anshi at the meeting because this was suggested by the latter. He guessed Guo Mingfeng should have offended Wang Anshi in the past.

Xue Qingrong thought for a while and decided to meet Secretary Wang. He wants to know if Secretary Wang had targeted Guo Mingfeng because of him.

District Party Secretary Office.

Xue Qingrong knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Xue Qingrong entered the office and saw Wang Anshi drinking tea at his desk. "Secretary, have you taken your lunch?"

"I was about to go." Wang Anshi gestured to Xue Qingrong. He seems to be in a better mood. "Have a seat." Xue Qingrong felt relieved as he knew Secretary Wang was not angry with him or had punished Guo Mingfeng to give him a warning. "Secretary, Guang Ming Subdistrict Office Guo Mingfeng……"

Suddenly, Wang Anshi's face changed, and he shouted. "Such black sheep should have been terminated a long time ago!" Xue Qingrong took a deep breath and did not dare to continue. Guo Mingfeng must have offended Secretary Wang deeply. He can tell Secretary Wang might not know about his son's incident, or he does not know Guo Mingfeng is involved in it. A District Party Secretary is too busy to know about everything in detail. If Wang Anshi knew about the incident and Guo Mingfeng's role in it, he would speak to Xue Qingrong before the meeting.

Luckily, Secretary Wang is not targeting me.

Xue Qingrong didn't answer, but he was not worried as it didn't concern him.

Many people within the District also don't know why the District Party Secretary had gotten angry with a Subdistrict Office's Deputy Director.

How did Guo Mingfeng offend Secretary Wang?

It seems Secretary Wang has a deep grudge against Guo Mingfeng.

Afternoon.

Nan Shan District Commission for Discipline Inspection.

After Guo Mingfeng was brought here, he was interrogated by the Commission for Discipline Inspection staff.

Guo Mingfeng's lips are tight and only say the things he can say. But he is not as calm as he looks. He is panicking as he knows the Commission for Discipline Inspection staff should search his apartment and check his account. He had not received large bribes, but he had previously received small amounts from his subordinates as 'festive gifts.' If the Commission for Discipline Inspection wants to bring him down, they will soon find out about these small gifts.

Half an hour….

One hour….

Two hours….

The Commission for Discipline Inspection had collected enough evidence against Guo Mingfeng. These are small issues, but they are enough to remove him from his position.

Guo Mingfeng gave up explaining himself in front of evidence and started answering the questions.

He knows he is finished. He can no longer make a comeback.

Guo Mingfeng's heart had turned cold. He would never be removed from his position with these 'small issues' if the District Party Secretary did not target him.

Wang Anshi…… Wang Anshi……

Guo Mingfeng knows it. Everyone suspected he had offended the District Party Secretary, but he knows he had never offended him in anyways. He had always been careful with his words when he was outside, and how could he offend Wang Anshi? The only reason he can think of is the false statement. Secretary Wang's sudden anger must be related to this case. He is in this situation because of his false statement! He is furious!

Guo Mingfeng is not angry with Dong Xuebing. He is angry with Xue Qingrong and Xue Xiaoliang!

Did Guo Mingfeng give the false statement to the Police willingly? He knows this is against the law. If Xue Qingrong had not called him, he would never testify for Xue Xiaoliang. He is in his forties and was almost knockdown by Xue Xiaoliang. He also beat him up, and the bruises on his face are not healed. How can he forget this incident?

Guo Mingfeng will never risk offending Dong Xuebing if Xue Qingrong is not the District Organization Department Chief. But what happens now? Your son had hit me, and I swallowed my pride and followed your orders to give a false statement to help him. Now, you and your son are out of trouble, and I had offended Secretary Wang because of this false statement. I had helped your son, but the ones investigating me are from your faction!

You bastard!

F*CK you!

This is burning the bridge after you crossed it!

Guo Mingfeng could not hold back his anger. He had forgone his pride and testified for the one who hit him. not only did he not benefit from it, Xue Qingrong still stabbed him.

Since this is how you repay me, don't blame me!

Guo Mingfeng has nothing to lose now. He had lost his position and could no longer remain in the Government Service. What else is there to worry about? If he didn't do anything as revenge, he would feel like a coward for the rest of his life!

"I have something to add." Guo Mingfeng said.

The Commission for Discipline Inspection staff looks at him. "What is it?"

Another staff held up his pen and was prepared to record what Guo Mingfeng was about to say.

Guo Mingfeng clenched his teeth. "I had given a false statement for the assault incident along Guang Ming Street and accused our Subdistrict Office Director of being the attacker. It was the Organization Department Chief Xue Qingrong's son who had almost knocked into me with his car, and he attacked me with a baton. Director Dong was driving past and stopped to help me. It was not Director Dong who attacked Xue Xiaoliang."

Not many people in the District had heard about this incident. They become tense when they hear Xue Qingrong is involved. "You had given a false statement?!" Guo Mingfeng nodded. "Yes. Chief Xue had called me and threatened me to testify for his son. He wants me to tell the Police that his son had not attacked anyone." The Commission for Discipline Inspection staff looked at each other, and their faces changed. The Organization Department Chief had conspired to frame a government servant!

This is no longer a small incident!

Chapter 598: Punishment!

Chapter 598: Punishment!

Late afternoon.

District Party Committee Office Building.

Xue Qingrong received a call, and his face changed within a second. He banged his desk angrily!

Guo Mingfeng! You crazy dog!

How dare you bite my son and me?!

Xue Qingrong had spent yesterday settling his son's case with his connections. He had been focusing on the fabricated injury report. Although he felt it was wrong for Guo Mingfeng to be suspended for investigation, he couldn't do anything. Who asked him to offend Secretary Wang in the first place? He had wanted to wait for the investigation to be over before visiting Guo Mingfeng to give him some benefits. Even if he can no longer stay in the government service, he can do business in the future. Xue Qingrong can assist him with his business. But before he can do anything, Guo Mingfeng starts to drag him down with him!

The fabricated injury report has not been settled, and this problem has arisen.

The Organization Department Chief had threatened a witness to help his son?!

Framing a government servant with a fabricated injury report?!

This is not a big case and can be easily covered up with Xue Qingrong's network. But Dong Xuebing, a Section Chief ranked Government Leader, is involved. Secretary Wang Shian ordered Guo Mingfeng to be investigated. Nan Shan District Party Committee also agreed with this decision. Many eyes are watching Guo Mingfeng closely, and his changing of statement can no longer be a cover-up. Xue Qingrong's political rivals will not give up this opportunity.

Xue Qingrong is about to explode with anger!

Xue Qingrong had planned everything when his son was beaten up. If everything goes according to his plan, his son will not be charged with assaulting a Government servant, and Dong Xuebing might lose his job. But after Dong Xuebing appears at the hospital, everything changes. The injuries on Xue Xiaoliang disappeared, and Guo Mingfeng had offended Secretary Wang for no reason and was ordered to be investigated by the Commission for Discipline Inspection. In the end, Guo Mingfeng changed his statement and turned against Xue Qingrong. It is Dong Xuebing who had messed up his plans!

Cannot admit it!

Xue Qingrong will never admit he had instigated Guo Mingfeng to give a false statement.

Xue Qingrong immediately retaliates and claims Guo Mingfeng was lying.

But Guo Mingfeng refused to back down. He even claimed Xue Qingrong would make things difficult for him if he didn't testify for Xue Xiaoliang. Xue Qingrong had never said these, but there's nothing for Guo Mingfeng to lose now. He dares to say all sorts of things to drag Xue Qingrong down with him.

Nan Shan District's Leaders can't be unaware of this incident after it had blown up.

This incident involves the Organization Department Chief, and it is too sensitive. The District Leaders kept quiet because they did not expect a simple investigation into Guo Mingfeng would become a big saga.

Guang Ming Subdistrict Office.

Dong Xuebing was laughing in his heart when he heard Xue Qingrong and Guo Mingfeng had turned against each other. He thought to himself. My political wisdom had improved.

Dong Xuebing knows Guo Mingfeng has no evidence against Xue Qingrong. Still, his testimony had confirmed it was Xue Xiaoliang who had attacked him that night. He had used a weapon to hit Guo Mingfeng, and Dong Xuebing had retaliated to save him. This proved Dong Xuebing's incident, and Xue Xiaoliang can't escape anymore. With all the District Leaders watching the investigation, it can no longer be covered up!

When it was about time to finish work, Dong Xuebing's phone rang.

It's the Police officer from the District Public Security Bureau. "Director Dong, the investigation is completed. Xue Xiaoliang had admitted he had attacked Guo Mingfeng first. We are proceeding with the charges against him."

Dong Xuebing knew Xue Xiaoliang had no choice but to confess because of Guo Mingfeng. "Oh, what will be his punishment?"

The Officer paused for a second. "His sentence is not confirmed, but we proposed a fifteen days remand at a remand center."

Dong Xuebing nodded and was satisfied with this punishment. Guo Mingfeng's injuries are minor, and if he had not accused Dong Xuebing, he might not even need to spend a night at the remand center. Fifteen days at a remand center is not only a punishment for Xue Xiaoliang. It is also a slap on the face for Xue Qingrong.

This incident had blown up.

But at this moment, the District had announced they would be giving Nan Shan District Organization Department Chief Xue Qingrong a verbal warning. Xue Qingrong could not escape punishment in the end, and this announcement is a form of protection for Xue Qingrong. Wang Anshi doesn't want this saga to continue and announced this punishment. This is not a harsh punishment, and it means putting a stop to this saga.

This incident had finally concluded, but Xue Qingrong is burning with rage.

His son is arrested, and he is punished.

Xue Qingrong could not accept this outcome and felt disgraced. Although he is still the Organization Department Chief, his authority had suffered a severe blow!

Dong Xuebing! Dong Xuebing!

Xue Qingrong pinned everything on Dong Xuebing!

At the same time, Dong Xuebing's name appeared in front of everyone because of this incident. The way this incident had progressed is too weird. No one had expected this outcome. Dong Xuebing had beat up the District Organization Department Chief's son, and nothing happened to him. He even sent Xue Xiaoliang into the remand center and let Chief Xue receive a verbal warning. Everyone is shocked as a Deputy Division Chief with the District's Party Secretary as backing had lost to a twenty-five-year-old Dong Xuebing with no backing within the District!

What the hell is going on?!

This is a miracle!

No one knows what Dong Xuebing did to win against Xue Qingrong. It happened too fast, and Xue Qingrong could not even retaliate!

Chapter 599: Work Party Committee!

Next day.

Friday.

Dong Xuebing was preparing for work when he received a call from a Beijing landline. It's a call from the National Respect and Cares for the elderly's model unit award to notify Guang Ming Subdistrict had passed the first round of selection. They need to submit the application materials.

It's finally here!

Dong Xuebing brightens up. "Thank you. Where should we submit the materials to?"

"The final selection is under the Ministry of Civil Affairs. You all can submit the application to them."

"……. Alright. We will do it as soon as possible."

"The Central Government should have started the final selection now. You must submit the materials soon, or it will affect your results."

"Thank you. I will do it immediately."

"That's all."

This is the first major award Dong Xuebing has worked on since he becomes the Director. This award is what he needed now. He knows getting past the first round of selection does not mean anything, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs will eliminate more than half of the remaining teams. But his chances of winning this award are slightly higher than 30%. If he can get this award by luck, it will be an impressive achievement on his resume. His Subdistrict Office will get more funds from the District, and they will stand out among other Subdistrict Offices. He is not confident of getting it, but he will try his best.

On the way to work, Dong Xuebing called Zhou Yanru to notify all the Work Party Committee members that he was calling for a meeting.

Half an hour later.

Small meeting room.

Dong Xuebing remained in his office to check the National Respect and Care for the elderly's model unit award materials. He waited until the last minute before entering the meeting room and saw everyone was waiting for him. After Guo Mingfeng backstabbed dong Xuebing, he realized his authority among the middle and higher management was weak. After yesterday's incident, he decided to strengthen his status. As the Work Party Secretary, it's normal for him to be slightly late to show his authority.

The meeting room is quiet and tense.

Dong Xuebing looks at everyone and walks to his seat. "Let's start the meeting."

The Work Party Committee Members straighten their backs subconsciously. Dong Xuebing can tell many of them had changed their attitudes towards him.

Geng Xinke is looking down and drinking tea. He seems to be in a bad mood.

Deputy Director Yu Rongfeng looks nervous and unsettled.

Police Station Chief Peng Gang is also looking nervous.

They are looking terrible because Dong Xuebing had eliminated one of the three members of the Geng faction because of the incident.

Dong Xuebing purposely brings up Guo Mingfeng. "All of you should know what happened to Deputy Director Guo Mingfeng. I had asked the District Commission of Discipline Inspection about the progress of the investigation. He has serious issues with his finances and moral issues. We must take this as a warning!" He knocked on the table three times and raised his voice. "Our Organization Department must be more careful in the future!"

Geng Xinke is in charge of the Subdistrict Office's Organization Department's personnel matters. Although he cannot decide on a Section Chief position, he can select the candidates. Everyone here knows he was the one who helped Guo Mingfeng get promoted to Deputy Director. Now, the latter is in trouble, and Geng Xinke has to share the blame.

Dong Xuebing's statement made the situation more tense.

Zhou Yanru glanced at Geng Xinke and continued to record meeting minutes.

After giving out his warning, Dong Xuebing sipped on his tea and paused for two seconds before saying slowly. "Someone has to takeover Deputy Director Guo's duties. I will reassign his duties now. Office Director Meng will take over Deputy Director Guo's Ministry of Civil Affairs duties from now."

Office Deputy Director Meng Shenguo had not handled the dispute between Wang Yuling and the resident well. After that incident, he tried to show he wants to be on Dong Xuebing's side, but he did not accept. Meng Shenguo heard this and brightened up. Ministry of Civil Affairs work means he will have some authority. This is Dong Xuebing's way of telling Meng Shenguo he accepted him into his faction. He was one of the longest-serving staff in the Subdistrict Office. After the former Director left, he did not join other factions. Now, he is accepted into Dong Xuebing's faction, and he is excited.

Meng Shenguo immediately expresses he will do a good job.

Zhou Yanru looks at Meng Shenguo and smiles.

Dong Xuebing continues. "As for Deputy Director Guo's Respect and Care for the elderly work and Disabled Persons' Federation…." He paused for a while and said. "Director Yuling, please take care of it."

Wang Yuling was shocked. She did not expect Dong Xuebing to give her this responsibility.

Everyone looks at the District Party Secretary's niece.

Guang Ming Subdistrict's Respect and Care for the elderly work is important. They might have a chance to win the Respect and Care for the elderly work's model unit award. This is a good position, and everyone is eyeing to get a slice of this cake. If their Subdistrict wins the award, Wang Yuling will get this credit. Even if she is not interested in the Government Service and is not ambitious, she still wants a promotion. Her salary and welfare benefits will increase.

Wang Yuling felt embarrassed as she had not participated or helped with the inspection. Now, she will be getting this credit, and her face turns red. "Errr… Director, I…"

Dong Xuebing smiles. "What's wrong? Is this responsibility too big for you?"

"I am afraid I can't do a good job." Wang Yuling said she might not do this job well, and not she is not willing to take on this job.

"I know about your capabilities. You must be more confident in yourself. That's it. Anyone else has any problems with this arrangement?" Dong Xuebing looks at the rest.

The other members kept quiet.

You had decided everything. Who dares to raise any objections?

If Dong Xuebing had done this in the past, the Geng Faction would be the first to oppose and demand a vote to decide these appointments. But yesterday's incident had shocked them. He had sent Guo Mingfeng to the Commission of Discipline Inspection. He even caused the District Organization Department to get a verbal warning. That's why no one dares to go against him now.

Dong Xuebing is satisfied by their reaction. This is the first time he felt he was the No.1 in the Subdistrict. "Since you all don't have any objections, it is finalized. Lastly, I want to share a piece of good news. I had received a call from the Nation Respect and Care for the elderly work's Role Model Unit award's office this morning. We had passed the first round of selection, and the final round of selection will be held these few days. I want everyone here to pay attention to the work and don't want any problems during this period."

The nomination list is out?

Everyone started to discuss the Nation Respect and Care for the elderly work's Role Model Unit award.

When the meeting ended, Dong Xuebing looked up. "Director Zhou, Director Wang. Please stay back for a minute."

Everyone left the meeting room, except for Zhou Yanru and Wang Yuling.

Wang Yuling looks at Dong Xuebing and smiles. "Thank you, Director."

"Are you talking about the Nation Respect and Care for the elderly work?" Dong Xuebing waved his hand. "Haha… this is the trust by the Organization. Why are you thanking me for? But since you have taken over this role, you must work hard. I will hold you responsible if there are any problems."

Wang Yuling is not confident, but she still nods.

"Director Zhou." Dong Xuebing turns to Zhou Yanru. "You got to work closely with Director Wang."

Zhou Yanru smiles. "I know. Don't worry about it."

Dong Xuebing had let Zhou Yanru handle the Nation Respect and Care for the elderly work a few days ago, and he added Wang Yuling now. It means both of them are in charge of this. They are close friends, and he believes they can work well together. Also, Wang Yuling is considered in his faction, and he has full control over this role model unit award.

Everything was going smoothly, and Dong Xuebing felt good. This is the result of him establishing his authority yesterday. He had strengthened his foothold, but there are consequences to it. Other people will use their subordinates to establish their authority, but he is different. Not only had he used his subordinate, he even used a District Government Leader, Xue Qingrong, to establish his authority. This will put him under the spotlight.

No…

I got to stay low for a while.

Zhou Yanru asked. "The application materials…."

"The Nation Respect and Care for the elderly work's Role Model Unit Office want us to send it to Beijing as soon as possible." Dong Xuebing thought for a while. "Alright. Both of you go back and pack your stuff. You all will go to Beijing with me, and be prepared to stay a few days there." Besides trying to stay low and submitting the materials, Dong Xuebing also wants to treat the Role Model Unit Award Office Leaders to dinner. They are already late, and many units should have left for Beijing now.

Chapter 600: Where can you find such a Good Leader?

Friday morning.

Guang Ming Subdistrict family quarters.

Dong Xuebing is prepared to stay in Beijing for a few days and return on Sunday or Monday. After all, it's not easy to establish a relationship with Leaders. He has to treat the Leaders to meals and might even need to send gifts. That's why he brought a few sets of clothes. It's the weekends, and staying a few days in Beijing will not affect his work.

Dong Xuebing went downstairs to his car and started to load his luggage.

After a while, Wang Yuling walks out of the building with big luggage. She looks very excited.

Dong Xuebing laughed. "Your luggage is big."

"These are all clothing." Wang Yuling smiles. "Director, which car are we using?"

"Use mine. The road condition is poor, and an SUV is more convenient. Place your luggage here."

"Ok." Wang Yuling got more excited. This Cayenne is more powerful than the Subdistrict Office's cars. She looks like she is going on a vacation. Although Fen Zhou City is not far from Beijing, she has only been there a few times.

After a while, Zhou Yanru and a little girl, around fifteen or sixteen, appear with their luggage. They saw Dong Xuebing is waiting by his car, and she walked over quickly.

"Sorry to keep you waiting. I was searching for some things, and it took a while."

"It's alright." Dong Xuebing helped Wang Yuling with her luggage. "I will put your luggage into the boot."

"I can do it myself…." Zhou Yanru is touched. Her Leader had helped her with the luggage, and this shows his respect for her.

Wang Yuling also did not let Dong Xuebing carry Zhou Yanru's luggage. She smiles and helps her put it into the car boot. After that, she stroked the girl's cheeks. "You have grown taller."

The girl blushed. "Sister Yuling." Dong Xuebing asked. "Who is this?"

Zhou Yanru quickly answer. "This is my daughter, Chen Chen. Chen Chen, this is Uncle Dong."

"Uncle Dong." Chen Chen greeted and helped her mother with her luggage. She seems to be scared of strangers.

Zhou Yanru had brought a few pieces of luggage. After loading everything into the car, she smiled embarrassedly. "Her Aunt is working in Beijing, and she is going to stay with her for a while during her vacation. But she can't bring too much luggage when traveling alone. So, I am bringing some of her luggage for her." Dong Xuebing nodded. "Alright. She can come together with us."

Zhou Yanru replied. "This… this is not suitable."

Dong Xuebing understood what Zhou Yanru meant. They are going to Beijing for official business, and it's not right for them to mix personal matters. But he is not an unreasonable person. He waved his hand. "We are not outsiders. What's there to worry about? Furthermore, are you sure you want to let her travel alone to Beijing?"

Dong Xuebing patted Chen Chen's shoulder. "Let's go. Have you gotten all your luggage? If you are ready, we will go now." Zhou Yanru wants to bring Chen Chen along, or else she would not ask her to help her with her luggage. She immediately turns to her daughter. "Hurry and thank Uncle Dong."

"Thank you, Uncle Dong." Chen Chen replied with a sweet smile.

"Don't mention it. Haha… let's go."

"Director, please sit at the back." Wang Yuling immediately volunteers. "I will drive!" Dong Xuebing asked with a smile. "Xiao Wang, do you have a driving license?"

"Of course. I had gotten it when I was in University." Wang Yuling replied. "Don't worry. I promise we will get there safely. Hehe…"

Dong Xuebing had driven Wang Yuling and Zhou Yanru around previously, but those were short distances. It is different this time. It will take at least one to two hours, and it's not right to let him drive them to Beijing. But Dong Xuebing felt Wang Yuling just wanted to try driving his Cayenne.

Dong Xuebing is fine with it.

Half an hour….

One hour….

Two hours….

Wang Yuling drove the Cayenne excitedly. She kept praising the car's performance. Of course. How can a two million car be the same as a two hundred thousand car?

Beijing.

This is a city bustling with life. Chen Chen's eyes are opened wide as if this is the first time she has come to Beijing.

Wang Yuling is also unfamiliar with the roads. She slowed down and asked. "Director, where should we go first? Err… I don't know the roads here." Dong Xuebing looked at his watch and laughed. "It's almost noon. Let's have lunch first. Chen Chen, what do you want to eat?"

Chen Chen shyly reply. "I am fine with anything."

"What is anything? Name something."

"Let's eat street food."

Zhou Yanru turns and gives her a stare. "This kid is too much."

"Haha… street food is good. You must try Beijing's street food when you are here." Dong Xuebing points to the front. "Go street from here, and turn towards east. We will go to Qian Meng."

Wang Yuling paused for a second and remembered. "Ah, I forgot Director is from Beijing."

Zhou Yanru also remembered she had seen Dong Xuebing's resume. He is from Beijing, and his vehicle's registration plate is from Beijing.

Dong Xuebing smiles. "That's why I must play host when you all are in Beijing. Haha… there's a food street at Qian Meng."

Chen Chen blinked. "I have heard of Qian Meng. But I thought people from Beijing call that place Qian Meng Er?" Wang Yuling laughed. "That's their accent. They like to add 'Er' at the end."

Dong Xuebing is speechless. "Chen Chen, who did you hear this from? That's not how it is called. Qian Meng, Tian An Meng, He Ping Meng, Di An Meng, and all other 'Meng' don't have 'er' at the end. It is the same as everyone else. Oh, there are exceptions." He thought for a while. "There's a Dong Bian Meng Er, and Xi Bian Meng Er. These are the only two with Er at the end." Chen Chen is confused. "Beijing's accent is so difficult."

Dong Xuebing shook his head. "I have never thought about this, but not everything can end with Er. I don't know how to explain, but… haha… there doesn't seem to have any rules to it." He really doesn't know how to explain as this accent was passed down for generations.

Chen Chen listened attentively. "Uncle Dong, can you tell me more about Beijing?" Dong Xuebing smiles. "What's wrong? Are you very interested in Beijing?" "Yes!" Chen Chen nodded.

Zhou Yanru smiled and explained. "Director Chen Chen had just finished her Middle School exams, and she is going to a High School. Her Aunt is living in Beijing, and Chen Chen wants to study here. That's why she is looking forward to coming here. I had asked around about the entry requirements. I heard it's hard for outsiders to enter the schools here."

Her Middle School exams had finished?

Dong Xuebing nodded. "Is her Aunt's household registration (Hukou) in Beijing?"

"No." Zhou Yanru replied. "They are from Fen Zhou City. It's not easy to get to Beijing Hukou. They are registered under their workplace."

Dong Xuebing nodded. "Then she must pay a sponsorship fee to study here. I heard it's not a small amount. How are Chen Chen's results?" "She has just completed her exams, and the results are not out." Zhou Yanru continues. "But she had checked her answers and should be getting good results. That's why I want to see if she can enter one of the top High School in Beijing."

Top High School?

It's quite difficult. The top schools might need the students to take an entry exam, and it might be over. Also, there are limited spots, and sponsorship fees might not even work. Of course, Dong Xuebing did not tell Zhou Yanru about these.

On the way, Chen Chen asked a lot of questions. Dong Xuebing is considered a 'native' as he had grown up here. He patiently answers Chen Chen's questions until they reach the food street. He told Chen Chen the history behind Qian Meng and the origins of the street food names.

Many people are looking at them because they have three pretty women in their group.

Dong Xuebing felt good. He likes to bring women around as it feels better to be surrounded by women than men.

Dong Xuebing noticed the women were looking around excitedly after lunch and decided. "Alright. I had checked, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs, National Respect and Care for the elderly's model unit award office are working on Saturday and Sunday. We are going there today. It's free and easy today. You all can go shopping or visit attractions today. Don't need to report to me." Wang Yuling cheered. "Thank you, Director!"

But Zhou Yanru is worried. "Director… this is not right… we…"

"Just listen to me. We need to have a work-life balance." Dong Xuebing is a caring boss. He passed his car keys to Wang Yuling. "I will leave my car with you. Go and enjoy yourself, and we will carry on with our work tomorrow." Wang Yuling was stunned. "Ah… how can I take it? Then, what will you be driving?" Zhou Yanru also felt it was not right. "No… we can't do that." I will have a car. Just go." Dong Xuebing waved his hand.

Wang Yuling and Zhou Yanru exchanged looks. Dong Xuebing had paid for their lunch, given them time off to enjoy themselves, and let them drive his car. Where can you find such a Good Leader?

Chapter 601: Asking for favors

Noon.

Qian Meng.

After parting ways with Zhou Yanru and Wang Yuling, Dong Xuebing hailed a taxi to get to Qu Yunxuan's parent's house. This is one of the reasons he comes to Beijing. It's been almost two weeks since they met, and he missed her and their child. She is due in less than four months.

Dong Xuebing took out his phone to make a call in the taxi. Ring… ring…

Qu Yunxuan answered. "Hello, who's this?"

"You don't know my number?" Dong Xuebing laughed.

"Oh, it's you." Qu Yunxuan sounded weird.

Dong Xuebing could hear Qu Yunxuan's mother shouting in the background. "Hmph! Is it Xuebing?!"

"It's not him. It's a former colleague. I am going to my room to answer this call." Sounds of footsteps and door closing. "Alright. We can talk now."

Dong Xuebing is speechless. "What happened?"

Qu Yunxuan giggled. "My Mum and Dad are waiting to beat you up."

"Are you serious?" Dong Xuebing took a deep breath.

"Why should I lie? Our baby is almost due, and they had been pushing us to get married. I could not hide it anymore and told them we could only get married five to six years later because of your work. They don't agree and want to confront you."

Dong Xuebing is sweating. "Then I should meet them. I am in Beijing now and will arrive at your place in ten minutes."

"You… better don't add more problems. Don't come over now. They will calm down after a few days."

"I am about to reach. How about you come out and meet me?"

"They are watching me closely, and I cannot leave the house alone. My Mum will even accompany me when I go downstairs for a stroll. Haha… How long will you be staying in Beijing? If you are staying overnight, I can sneak out at night to meet you."

"Do you need to go so far as to sneak out at night?"

"Yes."

Dong Xuebing is speechless. "Alright. Let's meet and talk at night."

"We can have a chat, but we cannot do other things. Don't even think about it."

"Hehe…" Dong Xuebing asked. "What do you mean by other things?"

"Are you asking for a beating? How dare you talk to me this way?" Qu Yunxuan joked.

Dong Xuebing laughed. "Then I will wait for you to punish me tonight. Oh, since you cannot leave your house, what am I going to do this afternoon? I had lent my car to my colleagues and didn't have a vehicle. How about I go over to your place, and you throw your keys to me from the windows?"

"You must be careful not to get spotted."

"I know… I know…."

A few minutes later.

The taxi entered Qu Yunxuan's parents' neighborhood, and Dong Xuebing alighted. He looked around and walked quickly to the building.

A window upstairs opened.

Qu Yunxuan's pretty face appeared at the window and looked at him. She is holding back her laughter as she throws her car keys down. Thud! The keys landed on the grass patch.

Dong Xuebing smiles and picks up the keys before giving an 'OK' sign to Qu Yunxuan.

Qu Yunxuan pointed in a direction, indicating her car was parked there and waved him away. She was smiling and mouthed the words 'Stupid fool.'

Dong Xuebing rolled his eyes and waved to Qu Yunxuan before driving away.

Dong Xuebing received an SMS from Qu Yunxuan when he left the neighborhood. "Drive carefully. See you tonight."

Dong Xuebing smiled. It warmed his heart, and he is determined to show his love and passion for her tonight.

One hour….

Two hours….

Three hours….

Dong Xuebing drove the Silver Mercedes around aimlessly. He doesn't have a place to go. Although he grew up in Beijing, he doesn't have many close friends. He was quiet during his school days. After his father passed away, he was depressed and stopped contacting his remaining few friends.

4 pm.

Dong Xuebing is bored after leaving the petrol station. He called Zhou Yanru. "Sister Zhou, where are you?"

"We…" Zhou Yanru hesitated. "I think this place is called Hu Fang Bridge."

"Which side of Hu Fang Bridge?"

"I think it's the west side. We are along the west service road."

"Ok. Stay there and wait for me. It's almost dinner time. I will bring you all out for dinner."

After a while, Dong Xuebing arrived and saw the black Cayenne parked along the roadside. Wang Yuling and Zhou Yanru are waiting beside the car under an umbrella. They expected Dong Xuebing to arrive in a taxi and did not notice him until he descended from the Mercedes. Wang Yuling and Zhou Yanru are shocked when they see the S-class Mercedes Benz.

Dong Xuebing got another car worth over a million RMB within hours after lending them his Cayenne. What does his family do? Why is he so rich?

"Where did you all go this afternoon?" Wang Yuling and Zhou Yanru did not ask about the Mercedes, and Dong Xuebing did not explain. "We went shopping at the mall. See, Xiao Wang had changed her outfit."

Wang Yuling laughed. "I had just tried it on and didn't take it off."

"We also went to Xi Dan. It was so crowded." Zhou Yanru seems to be in a bad mood but tries her best to smile.

"Eh, where's Chen Chen?"

"She is in the car." Zhou Yanru turned and called her daughter. "Chen Chen."

Chen Chen alighted from the Cayenne. Her eyes were red, and she was crying.

Zhou Yanru felt her heartache but still gave her a stare. "Stop crying."

Dong Xuebing asked. "What happened?"

Zhou Yanru sighed. "We went to Xi Dan, and Yuling drove us to a few top High Schools. I thought it would be easy, but all of them are unwilling to accept students from other provinces. Sixty-six High School has limited spots for students from other provinces and is all given out. It is useless even if you had gotten high scores for your Middle School exams. Some of them still have entry exams."

Dong Xuebing replied. "It's hard to enter the top schools. What about other High Schools?"

"I checked with one of them. The sponsorship fee is over 100,000 RMB, and that school is not good. The student also needs to take an entrance exam. We might as well remain in Fen Zhou City."

Zhou Yanru had finally experienced how difficult it is in other Cities. In Nan Shan District, she can use her connections to contact the schools. Even if her daughter has poor results, she can also get admitted. But no one knows her in Beijing. The Principal of the High School here held the same rank as Nan Shan District Party Committee Members. She can only go through the normal registration procedures and can't use her status as a Government staff. But all the available spots are given out, and her daughter might not even get into an ordinary High School in Beijing.

Chen Chen sniffed and started crying again.

Zhou Yanru felt sorry towards her daughter. They had brought their luggage along but realized it was too hard for Chen Chen to get into her school.

Wang Yuling consoled. "Sister Yanru, let's ask other High schools."

Zhou Yanru sighed. "That teacher had told us that all Beijing High Schools are the same. If they didn't set a barrier, everyone would be rushing to study there."

Dong Xuebing knew it would not be easy from the start. He can only enter an ordinary High School with his Beijing Hukuo previously, let alone an outsider. He looked at Chen Chen and stroked her hair. "You are going to be a High School student soon. Stop crying."

Chen Chen wiped her tears, but her eyes were still red.

Dong Xuebing got softhearted as he doesn't like to see women cry. He thought for a while and said. "How about this, Chen Chen. I will call someone and ask if it is possible."

Zhou Yanru quickly says. "Director, how can I trouble you… This…"

Dong Xuebing laughed. "I am only trying, and it's not guaranteed."

Dong Xuebing walked away and took out his phone. He thought for a while and called Xie Huilan's younger brother, Xie Hao's number.

The call was answered immediately.

"Haha… Brother Dong! My idol! Why are you calling me suddenly?" Xie Hao is always so cheerful.

Dong Xuebing is amused. "I am in Beijing now. I am calling you to ask you where you are."

"In school. The teachers are giving us vacation homework. Sigh… my vacation only starts next week."

After chatting for a while, Dong Xuebing asked. "Xiao Hao, are you in Yu Cai High School? Is your school still recruiting students from outside provinces?"

"Hehe… how would I know about this? Why are you asking?"

"My colleague's child wishes to enter your school. Can you help me ask around?"

"Oh… No problem. I am close with our Principal, and I will ask him to accept this request."

Dong Xuebing is suspicious. "Are you sure about this?"

"Brother Dong, rest assured. You should know I am a reliable person. Where is that student? Ask him to look for me, and I will bring him to register."

Chapter 602: Mention my name

Afternoon.

5 pm.

A Cayenne and a Mercedes Benz stopped along Nan Wei Road. They alight and look at the main gate of Beijing Yu Cai High School opposite. Yu Cai is a famous top High School in Beijing with a long history. The main gates and red brick walls made It look grand. It gave the same majestic feeling as the Palace Museum. If it is not a good school, the Xie family will not send Xie Hao here. Zhou Yanru and Chen Chen were stunned by the grand school gates. Even their Province's Party Committee Building is not this grand.

Chen Chen asked. "Is this a school?"

Wang Yuling laughed. "I think it looks more like a museum."

"The facilities here are better." Dong Xuebing nodded. "Let's go in."

Zhou Yanru quickly follows Dong Xuebing. She is unsure as her daughter could not even enter Beijing District's top High Schools. How is it possible for her to enter this City's Top High School?

Suddenly, someone laughed loudly.

"Hahaha… Brother Dong!" Xie Hao shouted from a distance and ran over. He hugged Dong Xuebing. "You are finally here!"

Dong Xuebing laughed and patted his back. "Why are you so loud?"

"This is not loud. It's called cheerful."

"Haha… come, let me introduce. You can address this lady as Aunt Zhou, and that is Sister Wang. This is Chen Chen." Xie Hao happily greeted everyone, and Dong Xuebing pointed at him. "This is my Brother. You all can call him Xiao Hao."

This is still a student. Are you sure he can decide on this?

Zhou Yanru was disappointed when she saw Director Dong ask a student to do this favor.

Dong Xuebing asked. "Xiao Hao, how is it? Have you asked your Principal?"

Xie Hao laughed. "I had asked. All the spots are taken up before the mid-year exams." Chen Chen heard it and her eyes became red again. But Xie Hao continues. "Hehe… but that's what the school tells others. Everyone will give me 'face' in Yu Cai High School. Ms. Chen Chen, come with me. I will bring you to meet our Principal. This is Brother Dong's instruction, and I will make sure the school gives you a spot."

Dong Xuebing looks at Xie Hao. "Stop boasting. Are you sure you can do it?"

"I had looked for Old Liu earlier, but he was in a meeting. We will go and see him now."

"Who is Old Liu?"

"The Principal."

Zhou Yanru and Wang Yuling are speechless.

But Dong Xuebing knows Xie Gao should be close with the Principal. The Principal should know his background since he is attending this school.

Xie Hao has many friends on the campus.

"Brother Hao, why did you come back?"

"Brother Hao."

"Xiao Hao, why are you still around after school?"

Not only do the students greet Xie Hao, even the teachers will greet him.

Xie Hao waved to them with a smile.

The campus is big, and they had to walk for five minutes to reach an office building. Xie Hao seems like he has returned home. He leads Dong Xuebing and the rest to a sofa. "Brother Dong, you all have a seat first. I will bring Chen Chen and Aunt Zhou to register."

"Ok." Zhou Yanru is suspicious as she follows Xie Hao with her daughter.

"Ah!" Xie Hao exclaimed as they turned a corner. "Uncle Liu! Over here! Have you just finished your meeting? I had been looking for you."

"Principal." A teacher besides the Principal said. "About that matter…."

Principal Liu saw Xie Hao and turned to that teacher. "We will talk about it tomorrow. Just do what you did previously."

After that, Principal Liu walks over with a smile. "Why are you still around after school? What do you want from me?"

Zhou Yanru got excited when she saw Xie Hao know the Principal.

Xie Hao laughed. "This is a serious matter. Uncle Liu, is our school still accepting students from other Provinces?"

Principal Liu looks at Zhou Yanru and Chen Chen and knows what this is about. "All our spots have been taken up. We only have seven to eight places this year."

Xie Hao let out a 'hmph.' "Then create one more spot."

Principal Liu smiled. "You brat is always giving me problems."

"It's rare for Brother Dong to ask me for favors, and I had agreed. I will be disgraced if you can't help." Xie Hao continued. "Uncle Liu, just tell me if this is possible."

Principal Liu smiled helplessly and looked around. "Let's go to my office."

Zhou Yanru is overjoyed as she knows the Principal might let her daughter enroll in the school.

Half an hour later.

Zhou Yanru, Xie Hao, and Chen Chen returned.

Zhou Yanru is full of smiles.

Xie Hao gave Dong Xuebing an 'OK' sign and a smile.

Wang Yuling knew this problem had been settled, and she looked at Dong Xuebing.

"Director, sorry to keep you waiting." Zhou Yanru walked quickly and stopped smiling.

Dong Xuebing asked. "How was it?"

Xie Hao beats his chest. "How can there be problems when I am around?! Everything is settled. No matter what grades Chen Chen gets in her Middle School exams, she will be accepted by Yu Cai High School. The application form had been sighed, and she just needed to report after her school holidays."

Dong Xuebing nodded. "What about the sponsorship fee?"

"Old Liu says one to two thousand will do." Xie Hao proudly replied.

One to two thousand? This is nothing compared to the sponsorship fee of over one hundred thousand requested by other schools.

Dong Xuebing is impressed by Xie Hao. This little brat is quite reliable after all and has made him look good.

"Thanks to Xiao Hao." Zhou Yanru is grateful. "Thank you, and thank you, Director. I am speechless." This is an almost impossible task for her, but it's just a simple request for Xie Hao and Dong Xuebing. Not only is her daughter accepted, but she also doesn't need to pay a high sponsorship fee. She knows how big this favor is and did not expect this outcome.

Chen Chen can finally study in Beijing, and this is the City's Top School. She looks at Xie Hao. "Thank you."

Xie Hao waved his hand. "Don't mention it. We will be schoolmates soon. If you encounter any problems, just mention my name."

Zhou Yanru pushed her daughter lightly. She knows her daughter can get accepted by the school is because of Dong Xuebing.

Chen Chen stepped forward. "Thank you, Uncle Dong."

"Don't thank me." Dong Xuebing patted her head and smiled. "Just study hard and don't let your mother down."

Chapter 603: The successful Xie Family

Evening.

Qian Meng Jian Guo Hotel.

Zhou Yanru is in a good mood and insists on treating Dong Xuebing and Xie Hao to dinner. They found a good restaurant nearby to have dinner. This restaurant was formerly called Old Beijing Qian Meng Restaurant, but it was renamed as Qian Meng Jian Guo Hotel after they merged with the hotel. (Jian Guo means nation-building.)

"Director, Xiao Hao, I will offer you two the first toast."

"Don't say this, Sister Zhou. Let's just drink together."

"No… I must offer this toast to you two. I will finish this glass, and you two can take a sip."

"Haha… sure. I will also finish this glass with you."

"Brother Dong, give me a glass of alcohol."

"You are underage. Drink your fruit juice."

"Huh? I will only take one sip."

Xie Hao could not get the alcohol he wanted and sat there sulking. Wang Yuling, Zhou Yanru, and the rest are laughing. He is not a good student and will frequent pubs and discos with his friends. But Dong Xuebing will not allow him to drink when he is around.

After dinner.

Zhou Yanru was feeling tipsy and went to settle the bill.

Dong Xuebing did not pay for the meal as this is her way of thanking them. He looked at the time and passed his bank card to Xie Hao to book two hotel rooms.

"Director." Zhou Yanru returned. "I want to thank you for today."

Dong Xuebing laughed. "You had thanked me a dozen times today. Alright, this is only a small matter."

"This concerns my daughter's future. I…"

"We are not outsiders, and stop saying these."

"Alright. I will not continue, but I will remember this in my heart." Zhou Yanru replied excitedly. "Watch my performance in the future."

Dong Xuebing had helped Zhou Yanru and Chen Chen was because he didn't want to see Chen Chen cry, and Sister Zhou has been assisting him since he became the Director. He is grateful for her help and is willing to lend a helping hand. Also, it will be a good signal to the rest in Nan Shan District. Everyone will know he will return the favor to those who helped him.

After a while, Xie Hao returns with the room keys. "Brother Dong, I had booked the rooms."

"You are quite fast." Dong Xuebing kept his bank card and passed the keys to Zhou Yanru and Wang Yuling. "The hotel rooms are ready. If you all are tired, rest early. If not, you all can go shopping."

Zhou Yanru asked. "Are we going to stay here?"

Wang Yuling added. "Director, the Beijing Office had made arrangements for us. This…"

"Chao Yang District is too far. Just stay here, and we can save time on traveling."

Zhou Yanru and Wang Yuling don't know if Qian Meng Jian Guo Hotel is a five-star hotel, but it should be expensive. They know people will talk behind their backs if Dong Xuebing submits it for reimbursement. He must be paying for the rooms from his pocket. They felt Dong Xuebing's family might own a bank. Or else, how can he spend money like this?

Dong Xuebing doesn't care about their activities at night and leaves with Xie Hao.

They boarded the Mercedes Benz. "Are you satisfied with my performance today?"

"Not bad." Dong Xuebing patted Xie Hao's back. "I can tell you will have a good future."

"I think so too… Hahaha…."

"What's with that laughter?"

"Ah… it's so late now. Hurry and send me home."

"You didn't inform your parents?! Alright. Fasten your seatbelt."

Xie Hao might be mischievous, but he knows what to say and what's not to say. Dong Xuebing's engagement with Xie Huilan is not announced to the outside, and only their family members know about this. That's why he addressed Dong Xuebing as Brother Dong in front of Zhou Yanru and Wang Yuling.

7 pm.

PLA General Political Department family quarters.

The guards at the main gate saw Xie Hao and let them enter. Dong Xuebing continues driving to his house.

"We are here." Xie Hao alighted. "Let's go in, Brother-in-law."

"It's late, and I did not bring any gifts with me."

"Let's go. You don't need to bring any gifts."

Dong Xuebing thought for a while and felt it was not right for him to leave at the doorsteps. He opened his boot and saw a few cartons of Huang He Luo cigarettes. These might be gifts given to Qu Yunxuan or gifts she prepared to give others. But it's better than visiting Xie Hao's house empty-handed. He took out the cigarettes and entered the two-story house. Xiao Hao's father, Xie Guo Jian, is the third son in the Xie Family. He is a Deputy Director in PLA General Political Department and holds at least a Lieutenant General rank. His wife, Ci Lifen, is a Leader in the National Press and Publication Administration. He had met both of them at Senior Xie's mansion.

When they entered the house, they saw a middle-aged woman in the living room. This woman is in her forties, but she is still black and doesn't have many wrinkles.

This woman should not be a soldier or a helper.

Dong Xuebing looks at the woman, and the woman is looking at him.

Xie Hao laughed and greeted. "Aunt, why are you here?"

"I dropped by to have dinner. What's wrong? Am I not welcome?" Xia Yanzhen joked.

"Of course, you are welcome. Where are my Mum and Dad?"

"Your Dad and Mum had gone to a dinner invitation. They had just left, and I am about to leave." Xia Yanzhen did not stand up, and she looked at Dong Xuebing. "Who is this?"

Xie Hao laughed. "This is Brother Dong. My Eldest Sister's boyfriend."

"Huilan's boyfriend?" Xia Yanzhen paused for a second and stood up for a handshake. "Xiao Dong, haha… I had heard a lot about you."

Dong Xuebing quickly shakes her hand with both hands. "Nice to meet you… Aunt." He doesn't know how to address this woman.

Xia Yanzhen smiles. "Xia Yanzhen. You should address me as First Aunt. I am Xiao Ran and Xiao Jing's mother."

Xie Jing and Xie Ran's mother?! Wife of the Ministry of Finance's First Deputy Minister, Xie Guoliang?!

Dong Xuebing quickly changed the way he addressed her.

Dong Xuebing had met most of the Xie Family members, except Senior Xie's youngest daughter, Xie Guohua, and her husband, Hou Xingan, and Xia Yanzhen. He had not met her during his two visits to Senior Xie's mansion, and Xie Huilan told him her First Aunt has been working in a Northwest Province. She doesn't have time to return.

"Have a seat, Xiao Dong." Xia Yanzhen gestured to Dong Xuebing, and she continued to observe him. "Huilan had praised you when we spoke over the phone. I have wanted to meet you. Oh, why are you here? I heard you are working in Fen Zhou City."

Dong Xuebing replied. "Yes. I am here for some official matters."

Xie Hao saw they started chatting, and he sat on the sofa to watch TV.

Xia Yanzhen looked at Xie Hao and shook her head. She leans forward to take the electric kettle to pour water for Dong Xuebing.

"Let me do it." Dong Xuebing quickly jumps up and taps up the hot water in Xia Yanzhen's cup before pouring a glass for himself.

"Have a drink, and don't mind me." Xia Yanzhen laughed. "We are a family, and you don't need to be so uptight."

Dong Xuebing looks at Xia Yanzhen. "First Aunt, are you also here for official matters?"

"I had finished my term and was posted to Beijing last month. I will not be leaving Beijing for some time. We will have many opportunities to catch up in the future."

"Oh, congratulations on your promotion. I didn't know about this."

"Haha… thank you. This is just a job transfer, and it's not considered a promotion."

Xie Hao laughed. "How is this not a promotion? Moving from a Bureau-Director to Deputy Minister is not an easy feat."

"What do you know? Go and watch your entertainment news." Xia Yanzhen laughed and shook her head.

Deputy Minister?! Dong Xuebing is speechless. Sister Xie's family are all holding shocking ranks within the Government. Senior Xie was formerly a Premier. He is one of the National Leader, and Dong Xuebing heard he has a brother who is currently still serving in the Politburo as one of the Committee Members. Xie Huilan's father is also a Politburo Committee Member and Beijing City Party Committee Member. He holds a Sub-national Leader rank. Senior Xie's second son, Xie Guoliang, is the first Deputy Minister of Finance and holds a Minister rank. Xie Guojian should be holding a Deputy Commander position of a Military District. Now, Xia Yanzhen has been promoted to Sub-Provincial (Ministerial) level. He does not know what position she is holding, but she is still a Deputy Minister regardless of her role.

Xie Family's second generation is doing very well.

Although no one had told Dong Xuebing about this, he knows the Xie Family focuses on the second generation. They might be thinking of pushing Xie Huilan's father to reach the top position. Xie Guobang is in his fifties. He is only a step away from becoming one of the nine members of the top Committee of the Government.

Dong Xuebing started to let his imaginations run wild. The Xie Family is so powerful now. Will Xie Huilan become a Premier in the future?

PRC's first female Premier.

Dong Xuebing got excited when he thought about this.

Chapter 604: The Proactive Xuan Xuan

Evening.

The sun has set, and it's dark.

Dong Xuebing drove out of the PLA General Political Department family quarters. He switched on the music player and listened to the pop songs while driving towards Qu Yunxuan's place.

Dong Xuebing immediately calls Aunt Xuan when he enters the neighborhood.

"Xuanxuan, I have reached your building."

"Oh, you had reached? Wait a while more."

"It's already 9.30 pm. It will be too late if I am going to wait a while more."

"My parents had just entered their room and should not be sleeping yet. Wait a while more."

"Ah… how about I go upstairs to look for you? They can scold and beat me for all they want."

"Stop creating trouble for me. Just wait downstairs, or else I will give you a beating."

Dong Xuebing smiles after he hangs up. He looked up and saw Qu Yunxuan looking down from her window. She signaled to him and closed the windows. The lights were off, and he finally heard footsteps down the stairs after waiting for ten minutes. A while later, Qu Yunxuan slowly walks out of the building in a white cotton maternity dress.

Dong Xuebing quickly got out and carried her across his arms, and kissed her forehead.

"Don't be naughty." Qu Yunxuan gave Dong Xuebing a stare. "You might hurt our child if you drop me."

"I know what I am doing." Dong Xuebing replied. "I missed you a lot. Here's another kiss."

Qu Yunxuan laughed. "Get lost. We had only met two weeks ago, do you have to do this? Let's get into the car first."

Dong Xuebing laughed and carried her into the Mercedes. "Are you tired these few days?"

"The company is almost sold, and I just need to settle some minor matters. But it is not busy."

"Let's not talk about work now. Your priority is to give birth to a healthy baby. Let's go back to our house."

Dong Xuebing drove to North He Ping Street. This is the place they first met.

Qu Yunxuan's apartment.

This small one-bedroom apartment still feels homely.

Qu Yunxuan pinched Dong Xuebing's nose lightly. "Why do you have to carry me up the stairs? Are you treating me as our national treasure?"

"You are my national treasure." Dong Xuebing pushed her hand away and moved closer to kiss her.

"Stop it." Qu Yunxuan pushed him away. "Move aside. I need to clean up. I have not been here for a few days, and it's dusty."

"Let me look at our baby first." Dong Xuebing helped Qu Yunxuan to the sofa and kneeled in front of her. He kissed her tummy. "Haha… it has gotten so big now. Did the doctor tell you if our baby is a boy or girl?"

Qu Yunxuan rubbed her tummy gently. "The Doctor let me take a peep at the result during my last checkup. She is a girl."

Dong Xuebing laughed. "Girl is good. She will be as pretty as you when she grows up."

"What if he is a boy?"

"If he is a boy, he will be as capable as me."

Qu Yunxuan is amused. "Stop boasting. You might be slightly capable, but you should be modest."

Dong Xuebing retorted. "What else do I have other than my capabilities? I don't have good looks."

"Stop." Qu Yunxuan stroked Dong Xuebing's hair. "It's good if our baby looks like you. I find you quite handsome."

"I am handsome?!"

"I say you are handsome."

Dong Xuebing is touched and lifts up Qu Yunxuan's maternity dress, exposing her deep pink underwear.

Qu Yunxuan chided. "What are you trying to do?"

"I want to kiss your belly." Dong Xuebing moved closer and kissed Qu Yunxuan's tummy, near her belly button. He found her belly button interesting as it was protruding out and kissed it lightly. After that, he stroked her fair thighs.

Qu Yunxuan laughed and pushed his hands away. "Did I put on weight recently? My appetite had improved a lot recently."

"No, you are fine. You are eating for two people and should eat more."

"Stop kissing." Qu Yunxuan covered her belly button and blushed. "It's ticklish."

The more Qu Yunxuan tries to stop him, the more Dong Xuebing wants to kiss her. He lifted her legs and started kissing her inner thighs.

Qu Yunxuan's face had turned red, and she lifted her arm. "Stop it, or I will hit you."

"I know you will not hit me." Dong Xuebing ignored her warnings and continued kissing her body.

"Stop… ah… ah…." Qu Yunxuan moaned. "Stop bullying me."

The kissing continued for a while, and Dong Xuebing stood up. He put his arm around Qu Yunxuan's waist. "It's getting late. We should go and rest now."

Qu Yunxuan gave Dong Xuebing a stare. "Are you thinking of something else?"

Dong Xuebing replied. "This is not the first or last trimester, and it's fine for us to do it. If you are worried, we can go through the backdoor."

"Stop having these naughty thoughts." Qu Yunxuan pinched Dong Xuebing's nose. "Are you not shy?"

"Then tell me, what should I do? I missed you badly."

"Let's talk in the room first. I shall see your performance before I decide."

"Oh, this means I stand a chance?"

"Haha… I did not say that."

Dong Xuebing got excited and carried Qu Yunxuan into the room. He closed the door behind him and placed her gently on the bed before taking off all his clothes.

"Your complexion is so smooth."

"Stop touching and chat with me."

"What do you want to talk about?"

"Who did you offend after you were posted to Nan Shan District?"

"Hah… how do you know I had offended others?"

"How can you not offend people or create trouble with your temper?"

"This is not my fault. They are the ones who provoked me first. For example, our District Organization Department Chief, Xue Qingrong…."

Dong Xuebing started to grumble to Aunt Xuan.

After talking for a while, Dong Xuebing's hand started moving.

A few minutes later, Qu Yunxuan pinched Dong Xuebing's roaming hand and turned her head away. She closed her eyes slightly and hooked her legs around his waist. "I shall make an exception for you today. But don't be too strenuous. Do you hear me?"

Dong Xuebing is surprised. This is the first time Aunt Xuan has been so proactive.

Dong Xuebing moved into position carefully and started moving gently.

Chapter 605: Stop pushing me around

Saturday.

Morning. Qu Yunxuan's apartment.

Ring… ring… ring… Dong Xuebing's phone rang.

Dong Xuebing opens his eyes, and the sun shines through the windows, making him feel uncomfortable. He reached over for his iPhone4s by the bedside table.

It's Shen Fei, Nan Shan District Executive Deputy Mayor, who called.

"Good morning, Mayor Shen."

"Director Dong, how is the progress with the Role Model Unit award?"

"Oh, I am in Beijing to settle it currently."

"Ok. Inform the District if you have any progress. We must get this award."

"I know."

Dong Xuebing threw his phone on the bed and yawned. Qu Yunxuan is not sleeping beside him, and he thinks she might have returned home to prevent her parents from finding out she had sneaked out. He slowly gets dressed and walks out of the room. Eh? Why is the bathroom light on? He walked over and saw Qu Yunxuan standing by the basin, washing his socks. The whole bathroom smells of washing detergent.

"You are up." Qu Yunxuan looked at Dong Xuebing through the mirror and laughed. "Who called you just now? Is it your Leader?"

Dong Xuebing nodded. "It's our District Executive Deputy Mayor who called to check on the progress of my work."

"Then wait a while. I will prepare breakfast for you after I finish washing your socks. Go and wash your face first."

"Stop washing. You are almost seven months and should not be tired." Dong Xuebing walked over and snatched the socks. "Let me do it."

"No need. I will not be tired from washing a pair of smelly socks."

"Let me wash it."

"I told you no need. Get aside and brush your teeth."

Dong Xuebing could not stop Qu Yunxuan and wash up before changing to a pair of new socks. When he comes out of the bathroom, a sumptuous breakfast is set on the dining table. He looks at her and pulls her to the table to have breakfast together.

"Eat slowly." Qu Yunxuan smiles and wipes his mouth with a paper napkin. "Are you going out later?"

Dong Xuebing nodded. "I need to go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs."

"Are you coming back tonight?"

"Yes. I am going back the day after tomorrow. This trip is to spend time with you."

"Haha… I will prepare dinner and wait for you tonight. Hey, slow down. No one is fighting with you over the food."

"It's been a while since I ate your food. It's delicious."

Qu Yunxuan knocked Dong Xuebing's head lightly. "Stop your flattery."

Dong Xuebing left Qu Yunxuan's apartment before 9 am. He drove her Mercedes to Qian Meng Jian Guo Hotel to meet Zhou Yanru and Wang Yuling.

A standard room upstairs.

Dong Xuebing knocked on the door. Zhou Yanru is already up, and Wang Yuling is in her room.

"Director. Please come in."

"Have you taken your breakfast?"

"Yes. We had breakfast in the hotel."

"Eh? Where's Chen Chen?"

"I sent her to her Aunt's place last night."

"Ok. Get ready, and we will leave now. Mayor Shen had called this morning. The District Government is very concerned about the Model Unit Award and wants us to win it."

After Dong Xuebing left last evening, Zhou Yanru and Wang Yuling drove around Beijing and visited malls and attractions. They had a good supper and had fun. It's rare to meet such a considerate supervisor. Now, their attitudes changed. They are serious and know they will embarrass the Subdistrict Office and Nan Shan District if they are eliminated. They must try their best to get this award.

Civil Affairs Ministry.

The Cayenne's registration plate is restricted today, and they had to use the Mercedes Benz.

The guards at the gates stopped Dong Xuebing's car. "Who are you all looking for?"

Wang Yuling rolls down the windows. "We are here to submit the National Respect and Care for the elderly's model unit award materials and application."

"Wait here." The guard returned to the guardhouse to make a call before coming back. "Which unit are you all from?"

"Fen Zhou City, Nan Shan District, Guang Ming Subdistrict Office." Wang Yuling replied.

The guard nodded and pointed to a grey building. "Second floor of that building. Chief Lin is in charge of this."

"Thank you." Wang Yuling thanked the guard politely.

"Don't mention it. Come down and register first."

Wang Yuling alighted and registered their car at the guardhouse.

Since they came to Beijing, Wang Yuling had tone down on her spoilt brat attitude. She is wary of her actions as she knows many hidden dragons and crouching tigers here. She dares to do anything she wants in Nan Shan District because her Uncle is the District Party Secretary. But in Beijing, her Uncle is a nobody. That's why she toned down a lot, and Dong Xuebing nodded with satisfaction.

The Office Building at the west.

This is the General Office of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Zhou Yanru asked the staff about Chief Lin and told them her purpose of visit.

The staff looked at them and said. "Wait here." After that, he went upstairs.

After a while, another staff came down from the stairs. "Chief Lin is busy now. You all can wait here." The staff walked away with a stack of documents and ignored them.

Dong Xuebing looked at the staff. They have no choice but to wait.

The three of them wait at the rest area. Zhou Yanru found a water dispenser and poured water for them.

Half an hour….

One hour….

Two hours….

Zhou Yanru looks at her watch. It's almost noon.

Dong Xuebing is getting impatient. "Xiao Wang, go and ask them again."

"Ok." Wang Yuling nodded and went to the staff they spoke with earlier. "Is Chief Lin available now? We have been waiting for two hours."

That staff frowned and made a call. After that, he told her. "Go to the second floor in ten minutes."

Wang Yuling quickly thanked him. "Thank you."

After a while, the three of them went to an office upstairs with a staff. A man, around thirty-five or thirty-six, is sitting behind the desk. He is writing something on a document and did not look at them.

"Chief Lin, they are here." The staff said.

Chief Lin waved his hand. "I know."

The staff left the office and closed the door behind him.

After the staff leave, Zhou Yanru quickly takes out a set of application forms and materials. They are still standing. "Chief Lin, we are from Fen Zhou City Guang Ming Subdistrict Office. This is the materials and application for the National Respect and Care for the elderly's model unit award. Please take a look."

Chief Lin did not look at her and continued to read his document. "Isn't the application close?"

"The Inspection Team had added us last minute, and we had passed the first selection."

"The application is handled by the National Respect and Care for the elderly's model unit award office." Chief Lin continues to write on his document. "This is not under my department. Submit the application and materials to them."

Wang Yuling interrupted. "But the National Respect and Care for the elderly's model unit office said…."

"Give them the materials. You all can leave now." Chief Lin said.

Dong Xuebing frowned. Damn! You made us wait for two hours and tell us it is not under your department? What's the meaning of this? Are you trying to waste our time?!

Zhou Yanru is pissed, but she doesn't dare to show her displeasure as Chief Lin is Ministry Leader. "Sorry to bother you."

After leaving the office, Wang Yuling grumbled. "What's wrong with his attitude?!"

Zhou Yanru stopped her. "Lower your voice."

"We wasted the whole morning just to be told he does not handle this. His time is precious, and our time can be wasted?!"

"It's hard to do things in other areas. Furthermore, this is the Central Government." Zhou Yanru is not surprised. "Stop grumbling. Let's go."

"Director, we…." Wang Yuling looks at Dong Xuebing.

Dong Xuebing suppressed his anger. "Go to the National Respect and Care for the elderly's model unit award office first."

Dong Xuebing might be mad, but he needs to settle the application first.

Noon.

Dong Xuebing, Zhou Yanru, and Wang Yuling had a quick lunch and drove to the National Respect and Care for the elderly's model unit award office at Hai Ding District. It's a distance from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and they reached around 1.30 pm because of the heavy traffic. They told the staff, and the staff brought them to Director Liu's office.

"Good afternoon, Director Liu." Dong Xuebing greeted with a smile.

Director Liu paused for a second. "Your voice…. Are you Director Dong from Guang Ming District?"

Dong Xuebing also finds his voice familiar. "Oh, we had spoken on the phone yesterday."

"That's right." Director Liu smiles. "Have you submitted the materials? The judging has started, and you all must hurry up. Any later, you will miss the selection."

Dong Xuebing smiled wearily. "We are here to submit the materials. We went to the Ministry of Civil Affairs this morning, but Chief Lin says we should submit it to your office. He does not handle this."

Director Liu frowned. "They do not handle it?! All the nominees' materials had been given to the Ministry of Civil Affairs this Wednesday. Our office is only in charge of recommending selected units for this award. They are the ones who are in charge of collecting the applications and materials. Director Dong, I am not trying to push you around, but it's useless for us to collect your materials. The Ministry of Civil Affairs needs to enter it into their database."

Director Liu had not shown any airs and is very sincere. Dong Xuebing knows he should be telling the truth, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs handles this matter.

Zhou Yanru and Wang Yuling exchanged looks. They have to return to the Ministry of Civil Affairs again.

Dong Xuebing is frustrated. He has not encountered such 'practices' after entering the Government Service.

Chapter 606: Losing his temper

Afternoon.

The sun is up, and it is scorching hot.

After leaving the National Respect and Care for the elderly's model unit award office, Dong Xuebing noticed Zhou Yanru and Wang Yuling looking terrible. He made a gesture to ask them to wait and called the Inspection Team Leader, Cheng Yandong. He had helped Cheng Yandong repair his mother's pendant, and he will not lie to him.

"Hello, Team Leader Cheng. I am Dong Xuebing."

"Haha…. Xiao Dong. What is it?"

"I am in Beijing to submit the application and materials for the award, but I don't know who to hand it to."

"Oh, did anyone contact you all? The application forms should be given to the Ministry of Civil Affairs. They have someone in charge of handling the application. The National Respect and Care for the elderly's model unit office had handed everything to them."

"But the Ministry of Civil Affairs says they are not in charge of this."

"Cannot be. They are the ones handling this award."

"Alright. I will check with them again. Thank you, Team Leader Cheng."

"Don't mention it. Oh, let's meet up for dinner when you are free."

"Sure. Sorry to bother you."

After hanging up, Dong Xuebing's face changed. They got into the car, and he said. "The Ministry of Civil Affairs is in-charge of this. Let's go there again."

Wang Yuling is frustrated. "Why is it so difficult to do such a simple thing?"

Zhou Yanru sighed. They had planned to foster a good relationship with the leaders by treating them to meals. Still, they could not even submit the application and materials. She felt it was impossible to get this award, and her fear of Beijing increased. Subdistrict Office staff and Leaders are nobodies in Beijing. They could not even submit a simple application without difficulties, building a relationship with the related Leaders. They can break the rules by giving the leaders expensive gifts, but she knows Dong Xuebing will not do this.

Ten minutes….

One hour….

They reached the Ministry of Civil Affairs building at around 3 pm.

Wang Yuling was about to descend when Dong Xuebing stopped her. "Yuling, stay in the car. There's nothing you can do even if you follow us."

"Director, I don't mind." Wang Yuling replied.

"I will go with Director Zhou. Keep the engine running and enjoy the air-con. You should be tired after driving around the whole day.

Wang Yuling is touched. She doesn't want to face Chief Lin again, and Dong Xuebing knows it. "Ok… I will wait in the car."

Dong Xuebing nodded. "Sister Zhou, let's go."

Zhou Yanru nodded and followed Dong Xuebing with the materials.

The first floor of the Ministry of Civil Affairs General Office. Zhou Yanru approached a staff. "Hi, we are looking for Chief Lin. Can you help us inform him?"

That person interrupted. "Didn't you all come in the morning?"

"We have some important matters."

That staff went upstairs impatiently.

Although the Ministry of Civil Affairs is not a powerful department within the Government, they have higher authority than the National Respect and Care for the elderly's model unit award office. That's why the staff here are more arrogant and have bad attitudes.

The staff returns a while later. "Chief Lin is busy now. Wait here."

Zhou Yanru asked. "Err… how long do we need to wait?"

"Someone will call when Chief Lin is free to meet you all. Go there and wait." That staff continued with his work and ignored them.

"Director." Zhou Yanru looks at Dong Xuebing.

Dong Xuebing's patient is running low. "Wait."

Half an hour….

One hour….

It was almost time for the staff to knock off, but no one called for them. Zhou Yanru saw Dong Xuebing was looking terrible, and she asked the staff. "Hi, is Chief Lin free now?"

The staff is chatting with a female colleague, and he looks at Zhou Yanru. He let out an annoyed 'tsk' and said to his colleague. "Let's decide on which restaurant later. Haha… ask Xiao Li to join us." After that, he went upstairs and came back after one minute. "Chief Lin asks you all to go in."

Zhou Yanru quickly thanked him. "Thank you."

The staff returned to his seat and continued chatting with his colleague.

"Director." Zhou Yanru looks at Dong Xuebing.

"Let's go." Dong Xuebing walks up the stairs without saying anything. Those who know him will know he is fuming mad now.

Second floor.

Chief Lin's office.

Knock, knock…. Zhou Yanru knocks on the door.

"Come in." Chief Lin looks at them with an annoyed look. "What is it again?"

Zhou Yanru is burning with rage inside, but she forced a smile. "We went to the National Respect and Care for the elderly's model unit award office, and they told us the Ministry of Civil Affairs handles this."

Chief Lin frowned. "Did they say this?"

"Yes. Our application…." Zhou Yanru asked.

Ring… ring… ring… the desk phone rang, and Chief Lin answered. "Hello… Good afternoon…. Yes…. I will be there immediately." He grabbed a document bag and stood up. "Go and check with the National Respect and Care for the elderly's model unit award office. I am busy." He said and walked towards the door.

Zhou Yanru quickly followed. "Chief Lin, we had asked them, but…."

Chief Lin says as he walks down the stairs. "Our department does not handle this. Go and check with other departments."

Zhou Yanru continued. "Chief Lin, we had made three trips…. This is…."

"Alright… alright…." Chief Lin is frustrated and stops at the first floor. "Where are the materials? Let me see."

Zhou Yanru quickly gave him the materials.

Chief Lin flipped the pages nonchalantly and threw them back at Zhou Yanru. "The application format and the official seal's position are wrong. Go and change it before submitting it again."

Zhou Yanru is speechless. "We had followed the application guidelines format, and it is the same as other units."

"Chief Lin."

"Chief Lin."

The staff in the General Office greeted Chief Lin when they saw him.

Chief Lin nodded to the staff and continued walking out. He repeated to Zhou Yanru. "You all go back and find out about the correct format. Amend it before submitting it again."

"Chief Lin… Chief Lin…. We……"

Suddenly, Dong Xuebing exploded. He rushed forward and blocked Chief Lin. "Amend your #[email?protected]#!"

Report chapter Comments

Chapter 607: "First Aunt"

Ministry of Civil Affairs Office building lobby.

Dong Xuebing's curse caused the whole office to quiet down.

Everyone is stunned.

Chief Lin could not believe his ears. "What did you say?"

Dong Xuebing looked at him in his eyes and repeated. "Amend your #[email?protected]#!"

"How dare you scold me?!" Chief Lin is furious. "Do you know what this place is?! How dare you create trouble here?!"

"Director…." Zhou Yanru panicked and grabbed Dong Xuebing's arm. "Calm down."

Other than Xie Huilan and Qu Yunxuan, no one can stop Dong Xuebing once he loses his temper. He pushed Sister Zhou aside and walked to Chief Lin. He pointed at him and shouted. "You still dare to ask me what this place is?! I should be the one asking you this question! This is the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and your duty is to serve the people and other government departments. We followed the procedures to come and submit the model unit award application and materials before 10 am today. But how did you treat us?! Ah?! We are made to wait for more than two hours. If we did not ask your staff to check with you, are you going to make us continue to wait?! What is this attitude?!"

"Director…." Cold sweat is pouring down Zhou Yanru's forehead. She knows Director Dong has a foul temper, but she did not expect him to go crazy in the Ministry of Civil Affairs. This is a Central Government Department, and they are the judges for the final selection. Creating a scene here is equivalent to them giving up this award.

Chief Lin got mad. "Then are you saying that I should put aside my work and welcome you downstairs?!"

"I don't need you to welcome me." Dong Xuebing looks at him coldly. "I understand everyone has work to do, and that's why I waited for more than two hours. But what is your attitude when you meet us? You brushed us off to the National Respect and Cared for the elderly's model unit office without looking at our application forms. We checked with others and were told that the Ministry of Civil Affairs handles this. What's the meaning of brushing us to other departments?! Ah?! Are we fools for you to push us around?! What is wrong with your working attitude?!"

"I am warning you." Chief Lin points at Dong Xuebing. "You better watch your attitude towards me!"

"This is the way I am." Dong Xuebing shouted. "Why should I be polite to you when you gave us that bad attitude?! Who do you think you are?! You had caused us to waste one day because of a simple thing. Look at the time now! It's almost after office hours! After making us wait and run around the whole day, you told us you all were in charge of accepting the application and materials. We ended up waiting for more than one hour again for you. In the end, you tell us we had used the wrong format and want us to amend it before submitting it. Why didn't you say so this morning?! Our format follows the guidelines issued by the National Respect and Care for the elderly's model unit office. Which part is wrong?! Ah?! Tell me!"

Chief Lin is furious because of Dong Xuebing's attitude. He grabbed the application and materials from Zhou Yanru and threw them across the floor.

Pages of the document were scattered all over the place.

"I am telling you that the whole document is wrong. Go back and re-do the whole thing!" Chief Lin replied coldly.

Zhou Yanru shouted. "What are you doing?!"

Dong Xuebing's eyes turned red when he saw Chief Lin throwing the materials on the floor. "Chief Lin! Who do you think you are?! You are throwing away a document submitted by Grassroot unit just because you don't like it."

Chief Lin retorted. "This is not a place for you to create trouble! Get out!"

Dong Xuebing narrowed his eyes. "I am returning the same words to you. This is a Government Agency, and it is not a place for you to do what you want!" He points to the floor. "Pick it up!"

Chief Lin can't be bothered with Dong Xuebing, as he is only a Subdistrict Office Director. "Call the guards!"

The staff was whispering among themselves.

"Who is this person? Why is he so aggressive?"

"That's right. I have never seen anyone who dares to scold others in the Ministry of Civil Affairs."

"I heard he is a Subdistrict Office Director from other places. He has no idea what he is getting himself into."

"Alright… hurry up and call the security office to send some guards here."

"Chief Lin is angry now. Those two from the Subdistrict Office are idiots. Don't they know this place is part of the Central Government?"

"Chief Lin, the guards will be here soon."

Dong Xuebing continued pointing at the documents on the floor. "I am telling you again. Pick it up!"

You want me to pick up the documents?!

Chief Lin smirked and took a step forward. He stepped on the document on the floor and was about to leave the lobby.

An A4 paper on the floor is imprinted with Chief Lin's shoeprint.

Dong Xuebing is furious. He raised his hand to grab Chief Lin by his collar and pulled him back.

Everyone in the lobby is shocked.

This guy is going to attack Chief Lin!

"Stop!"

"How dare you?!"

"Someone help! Where are the guards?! Get the guards!"

Many staff rushed forward to stop Dong Xuebing.

Suddenly, a middle-aged woman appears at the office lobby entrance. She walks in with an angry look. "What are you all doing?! Why is it so noisy?!"

Everyone looked at that woman and felt a shiver down their spines.

"Minister Xia."

"Minister Yanzhen."

Chief Lin is stunned and quickly pushes Dong Xuebing's hands away before greeting politely. "Minister Xia."

Zhou Yanru's heart skipped a beat when she heard the word, 'Minister.' Her face turned pale, and knows they were in deep trouble. Minister Xia should be the Minister or Deputy Minister of the Civil Affairs. This has blown out of proportion.

Chief Lin quickly explains. "Minister Xia, it's like this…. This person had come here to create trouble. He had scolded me and even tried to hit me. We have informed the guards, and they will be here to kick him out."

But before Chief Lin can finish, the angry-looking Minister Xia suddenly smiles. "Xuebing."

Dong Xuebing was stunned from the moment he saw this woman. "First, Aunt. Why are you here?"

First Aunt?!

This guy had addressed Minister Xia as First Aunt?!

Chief Lin almost fainted when he heard it. Damn!

Report chapter Comments

Chapter 608: Ministry of Civil Affairs Deputy Minister Xia

Office lobby.

Dong Xuebing's greeting, 'First Aunt,' had shocked everyone.

Zhou Yanru was also stunned and wondered what was going on.

Chief Lin's eyes almost popped out of his sockets. He took a deep breath and swallowed everything he wanted to say.

The jaws of the staff dropped as they looked at them. They were wondering what was going on.

First Aunt is different from the generic way of addressing others as 'Auntie, Mdm, Uncle, etc.' Not anyone can call another middle-aged woman 'First Aunt.'

Dong Xuebing is also surprised. This middle-aged woman is Senior Xie's second daughter-in-law, and she is Xie Ran and Xie Jing's mother. He is still angry with Chief Lin and could not understand what was going on. "Why are you here?"

Xia Yanzhen laughed. "I am working here. Didn't I tell you about it?"

Dong Xuebing exclaimed. "Ah… you are transferred to the Ministry of Civil Affairs?!"

"Oh…. I didn't tell you about this." Xia Huizhen suddenly remembers that they had chatted for a while but did not mention her new position.

Dong Xuebing felt this was a coincidence. Minister Xia is the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Deputy Minister.

"Xuebing, the Official business you told me is this?" Xia Yanzhen asked.

"Yes." Dong Xuebing smiled wearily. "I am here to submit the Role Model Unit application and materials."

The crowd heard the way Minister Xia addressed Dong Xuebing and knew they were related.

Damn!

Chief Lin is panicking.

WTF is going on?! Why don't you tell me that you are related to Minister Xia?! You had gotten me into trouble!

The look in everyone's eyes changed as they looked at Dong Xuebing. No wonder he dares to create a scene at the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

Xia Yanzhen looked around the lobby. "What happened here?"

Xia Yanzhen had asked earlier, and Chief Lin had answered. She is asking again as she wants to hear it from Dong Xuebing.

"Oh, First Aunt. If I knew you were here, I would have looked for you. I came here in the morning, and I was informed Chief Lin was in-charged of this matter. But I ended up waiting two hours to meet him, and he told us this was not under him. He pushed us to the National Respect and Care for the elderly's model unit Office. The National Respect and Care for the elderly's model unit office told us this was under the Ministry of Civil Affairs when we reached there and got to come back. In the end, Chief Lin tried to brush us away and claimed we had used the wrong format and wanted us to re-do the application again. The selection had started, and we needed to return to the District to get a new application stamped. We will not have enough time. Moreover, the format is according to the guidelines set by the higher-ups." Dong Xuebing started complaining. He points to the floor. "Look at these. There is a serious problem with Chief Lin's working attitude. We had prepared these materials, but he threw it all over the place without looking at it."

Chief Lin's face turns pale. He wanted to kill Dong Xuebing on the spot, and he quickly explained. "Minister Xia, it's not like this. These documents are…."

Xia Yanzhen looked at Chief Lin and interrupted him. "Come to my office later."

"Minister Xia, I…. Please listen to me…." Chief Lin tried to explain.

Xia Yanzhen did not look at him and patted Dong Xuebing's shoulder with a smile. "I need to attend to some matters first. Come to my office later. I will get someone to enter the application and materials into the database."

"Ok. Please carry on with your work." Dong Xuebing replied politely.

"Alright. Wait for my call. Haha…" Xia Yanzhen said and left the office building.

Dong Xuebing pulled Zhou Yanru aside. "Sister Zhou, let's sit here and wait."

"Ok." Zhou Yanru is looking better, and she looks at Dong Xuebing. After that, she turns to Chief Lin with a smile. She was still surprised to know Director Dong knows a Sub-Provincial (Ministerial) level Leader, and they might even be relatives.

The lobby is quiet, and no one dares to make a sound.

At this moment, a few security guards rushed in.

"Who is it? Where is the person that is causing trouble?"

"Where is he?"

Chief Lin knows he is in trouble after hearing Dong Xuebing address Minister Xia as First Aunt. He had offended Minister Xia, and he is finished. He turned to the guards and shouted. "Go back! No one is causing trouble here!"

"But…." The guards hesitated.

"Can't you all hear what I said?!" Chief Lin shouted.

The guards exchanged looks and quickly left the lobby.

Everyone knows Dong Xuebing is Minister Xia's relative. Who still dares to chase him away?

The lobby fell into silence again.

The staff quickly lowered their heads and pretended not to see anything. They know Chief Lin had shot himself in his foot.

The staff, who treated Dong Xuebing and Zhou Yanru impatiently earlier, is panicking. He doesn't know if Dong Xuebing will remember him and complain to Minister Xia. He clenched his teeth and poured two cups of water before bringing them to Dong Xuebing and Zhou Yanru. "Have some water. You can call me if you need anything else."

The staff's attitude changed completely.

Chief Lin felt disgraced when his subordinates bowed down to Dong Xuebing. He wanted to scold that staff, but he didn't dare. He clenched his teeth and kneeled on the floor to pick up the documents he threw earlier. He arranged the pages properly and walked to the rest area. Although Minister Xia said she would get someone to process the application, he knew it was a warning. He can't wait for Minister Xia to get someone and got to do it immediately. He went to Dong Xuebing and said. "Err…. We will process the application and enter it into the database immediately. Please… come to my office and wait."

Dong Xuebing did not move and took out a cigarette. "Didn't you say the format is wrong?"

Zhou Yanru took out a lighter and lit Dong Xuebing's cigarette. She did not look at Chief Lin.

Chief Lin smiles. "Please forgive my bad attitude earlier. There is no problem with the materials."

Dong Xuebing glared at him. "You claimed our format is wrong, and you are telling me there is no problem with it?! Are you treating me as a fool?!"

Chief Lin is cursing in his heart but dares not to show any displeasure. "No… no…. I didn't check it thoroughly."

"You think you can get away with a reply like this?!" Dong Xuebing points to his watch. "I had wasted from 9 am to 5 pm. How many hours is it? Just because you did not check it thoroughly, you had wasted so much of our time. Yet, you still dare to throw our documents on the floor?! Who gives you the right to do this?! Ah?! Answer me!" Dong Xuebing points at Chief Lin and gives him a lecture.

Chief Lin did not retort and stood there quietly.

The staff in the office felt amused when they saw Chief Lin getting lectured by a young man. But no one dares to laugh.

Dong Xuebing got tired and thirsty after scolding for a while and took a sip of water.

Chief Lin finally got a chance to speak. "The proper procedure for the National Respect and Care for the elderly's model unit award application should be sent from the role model unit office. Late submission format is different from normal application and requires an official seal."

"Don't tell me all these." Dong Xuebing knows the way these offices work. If they are willing to accept your submission, they can still enter it into the database even when you don't have the full set of documents. But if they are lazy, they can find one thousand and one excuses to not do it for you. "Since we are using the wrong format and don't have all the required materials, I will not submit it."

Zhou Yanru is laughing in her heart. She knows Director Dong will not let the ones who offended him off lightly.

This guy doesn't want to submit it now?!

Please…. Don't make my life miserable….

This is putting Chief Lin in a spot. Minister Xia knows about this, and you don't want to submit the application now? What will she think of me? After knowing you are her relative and I still did not process your late application?! I will be fired from my job!

"Comrade…." Chief Lin panics. "I am sorry for wasting your time. It's my fault, and I will process the materials immediately. As for the missing materials, I will get someone to do it for you. Everything is alright." He did not wait for Dong Xuebing's reply and walked off with the documents. "Xiao Liu, come with me. Make a copy of these materials. Hurry."

A staff acknowledged and ran after Chief Lin.

Dong Xuebing looked at him and did not stop him.

Zhou Yanru had encountered similar situations where government agencies pushed her around. This was the first time she saw work efficiency. Chief Lin went upstairs for two minutes and returned to tell them the application was processed. He gave them a copy of the materials and acknowledgment slip for their records. They don't need to do anything else, as he will get someone to help them with the missing materials.

After seven to eight hours, a simple task that could not be settled was settled within two minutes.

Dong Xuebing had a cold smile on his face as he thought to himself. All these would not happen if you had a better attitude.

Chapter 609: Lessen Chief Lin's workload

5.30 pm.

Ministry of Civil Affairs, East Office building.

Knock… knock…. A woman replied. "Come in."

"First, Aunt." Dong Xuebing greeted Xia Yanzhen with a smile.

Xia Yanzhen smiles and points to the chair in front of her." Have a seat. What tea would you like?"

"It's alright. Plain water will do. I will get it myself."

"Haha…. Is your application processed?"

"Thanks to you, it's all completed. This might not even be settled tomorrow without your help."

Dong Xuebing sat opposite Xia Yanzhen with a disposable paper cup. She is looking at him and says. "I had heard from Xiao Jing that your working style is quite special. You are indeed special after seeing what you did today. From a certain perspective, you and Huilan are compatible. She is also impulsive like you when she is young and dares to talk back to everyone, including Senior Xie. You have the same character as her. Haha…."

Dong Xuebing felt embarrassed and explained. "First Aunt, this is an accident. I am normally not like this. It is because that Chief Lin is too much."

"Really?"

"It's true. I seldom lose my temper at work and try to be as amicable as possible."

"Good to know you understand this. It is important to settle things amicably in the Government service."

"I understand." Dong Xuebing lied.

Xia Yanzhen doesn't believe Dong Xuebing. This is a Ministry, and it's part of the Central Government. He dares to scold a Department Chief in the lobby in front of everyone despite not knowing she was transferred here. This means he is not afraid of anyone, and she wonders why did Huilan choose him? She looks at Dong Xuebing from head to toes and finds him interesting.

Dong Xuebing felt the hair on his back stands from the way Xia Yanzhen looked at him.

Xia Huizhen continues. "Tell me about the Role Model Unit award. Why are you submitting the application and materials now? Why didn't you submit it before the inspection?"

Dong Xuebing straighten his back. "I took over the Subdistrict two weeks ago, and the submission was before my transfer. When the Inspection Team for Hebei Province came to our District, they noticed our Subdistrict and gave us a floating quota as they felt we had done well."

Xia Yanzhen nodded. "Oh, I see…. This means you all had done well. Every inspection team only has a floating quota, and the Role Model award office controls it. Even our Ministry cannot get it."

Dong Xuebing blinked and asked. "I heard the Ministry of Civil Affairs is in charge of the final selection."

"Yes." Xia Yanzhen laughed. "You had done your homework."

Dong Xuebing smiles. "The District Government had given us a task, and we must get this award. First Aunt…."

Xia Yanzhen thought for a while. "This selection is not under me. I think it is under Minister Liu. Ok… I will try to talk to him. Fen Zhou City, Nan Shan District, Guang Ming Subdistrict Office, right? Go back and wait for the call."

Dong Xuebing is overjoyed. "Thank you, First Aunt."

"Don't thank me first as I don't know how it will turn out. Wait until you get it before you thank me. Haha…."

Dong Xuebing is excited as this is equivalent to his unit getting the award. "Are you free this evening? Can I treat you to dinner?"

Xia Yanzhen looks at her watch. "Another day. I still have some work later."

"Oh, it's almost after office hours. I shall not bother you anymore."

"Ok. Let's have dinner another time."

As they were chatting, the phone on the desk rang.

Xia Yanzhen answered. "Hello, what is it? Lin Feng is outside?! Tell him he doesn't need to see me anymore."

Lin Feng is Chief Lin. Dong Xuebing sees Xia Yanzhen is not rushing to send him out, and he remains there.

After hanging up, Xia Yanzhen made another call. "Hello, Bureau Chief Sun? I am Xia Yanzhen…. Yes…. There was an incident in the General Office lobby earlier. The staff is Lin Feng, a subordinate under Old Xu. He is not serious with his work, and it might be due to a heavy workload. Go and arrange for a meeting with him next week. We should lower his workload since he is stressed out. Settle this for me…. Yes…. Alight. That's all."

Chief Lin is in trouble.

Dong Xuebing is laughing in his heart. Xia Yanzhen had made this call in front of him is to show him her respect for him. After stealing the stolen artifact from Tokyo National Museum previous, he had gained the respect of all Xie Family's members.

Dong Xuebing saw Zhou Yanru waiting for him outside the building.

"Let's go, Sister Zhou." Dong Xuebing is in a good mood.

"Director, the role model unit award…."

Dong Xuebing felt there was no need to keep it from her. "We should get it."

Zhou Yanru is overjoyed. Their clash with Chief Lin is not as important as the award. Everyone in the Subdistrict will benefit if they get this award. "Director, I knew you would find a way. If we get this award, our Subdistrict Office will……." She started talking excitedly.

Dong Xuebing knows Zhou Yanru is talkative and reminds her. "Don't tell others what happened earlier."

Zhou Yanru smiles. "Don't worry. I know what to do." Getting the award through connections is not something to be proud of. Furthermore, it is not confirmed.

Dong Xuebing nodded, and they walked to the parked Mercedes.

Wang Yuling asked nervously. "Director, Sister Yanru, I saw many security guards running into the office building earlier. Did something happen?" She had wanted to go to the building to see what had happened.

Zhou Yanru secretly glanced at Dong Xuebing. Those guards were going to arrest us, but she did not tell Wang Yuling. "Nothing… nothing happened." Director Dong had asked her not to say anything, and she will keep it a secret from everyone, including her good friend Yuling.

"Ok. What are we going to do now?" Wang Yuling asked.

Dong Xuebing laughed. "We had almost finished our task. Let's just enjoy ourselves here. Take tomorrow off, and we will go back on Monday."

Wang Yuling was excited when she heard this. "But Director, aren't we supposed to build a relationship with the related Leaders?"

"We don't need to do that anymore. Let's go."

Chapter 610: Getting drunk and sleeping on a beauty's lap

7.30 pm.

North He Ping Street. Qu Yunxuan's apartment.

The sun is setting. Qu Yunxuan's body is moving to a rhythm, forming waves across her meaty butt. 'Pa… Pa… Pa…"

"Ah…. Please slow down…."

"Huh? I am moving very slow."

"It's too strenuous. I can't stand it."

"You said this every time, but you are fine. Ah…. I am reaching my limit."

"Stop your nonsense…. Ah…. Ah…."

Qu Yunxuan pants as she lets out a cry and hugs Dong Xuebing tightly. Her body trembles for a few seconds and both of them collapse on the bed. Dong Xuebing is also tired. He had finished dinner and immediately started their 'exercise.' It went on for almost an hour, and he almost surrendered. He finally experienced the saying, 'pregnant women have big appetites.' Luckily, he is young and energetic. If not, he cannot satisfy Qu Yunxuan. He decides to carry on with his physical training to ensure his stamina can catch up with her demands.

One minute….

Two minutes….

Three minutes….

The sun had set.

Dong Xuebing caught his breath and kissed Qu Yunxuan on her forehead. Aunt Xuan is covered in sweat, but she still smells nice. He kissed her back, and it tasted a bit salty. He can't get enough of kissing her. "Aunt Xuan, you had squeezed me to my last drop."

Qu Yunxuan felt embarrassed after the excitement subsided.

"I am exhausted." Dong Xuebing laid against the headrest, and his sweat rolled down his forehead.

"Who asked you to conceit?" Qu Yunxuan laughed and took a few pieces of tissue to wipe his sweat and body. After wiping him, she reached under the blanket to clean herself. She pinched his arm lightly. "Don't boast you are strong next time. If you can't stand it, let me know."

Dong Xuebing rolled his eyes. "You kept seducing me, and I have to satisfy you."

Qu Yunxuan laughed and pinched his nose lightly. "You just want to put on a strong front."

"I am not in my best condition today." Dong Xuebing explained. "I spent my whole day at the Ministry of Civil Affairs. It's tiring."

Qu Yunxuan stroked his hair. "How was it?"

"It's almost settled. I need to wait for the result."

"When are you going back?"

"Monday. I can accompany you tomorrow. If you want me to accompany you longer, I can return on Tuesday."

"You are busy with work." Qu Yunxuan continues to stroke his hair gently. "I am fine. We can always meet when you are free. Your work is more important."

Dong Xuebing hugged her. "I just want to hug you every day."

"Sweet talker." Qu Yunxuan smiled and flicked his nose. "You are saying this to make me happy. I wonder if you really mean it."

"Hehe… I will never lie to you. Of course, it's real."

Qu Yunxuan looked at Dong Xuebing and hugged him.

Dong Xuebing stroked Qu Yunxuan's legs. It's smooth and meaty.

"Stop touching."

"Let me touch your tummy. Our daughter wants me to touch her."

"Stop it, or I will hit you."

"Huh? You are the one who initiated this earlier. What's wrong with me touching you now?"

"I dare you to say that again?" Qu Yunxuan pinched Dong Xuebing. "I don't remember anything. Haha…."

"Fine…. I will not argue with you."

"What do you want to argue? Huh?!"

"Cough… cough…. I am wondering when you can act in a cutesy manner?"

Dong Xuebing remembers Qu Yunxuan is thirty-one years old this year. She is six years older than him, and she has never acted in a cutesy manner in front of him. She is independent and doesn't need him around her. This might be due to her character, but he felt it's more because of her age.

"Act cutesy?" Qu Yunxuan is speechless. "How do you want me to act?"

Dong Xuebing cleared his throat. "I don't know. How about you try acting cute?"

Qu Yunxuan laughed and pinched Dong Xuebing's nose. "Don't you try to order me around. No matter how old you are or how high your rank is, you are forever a kid in my eyes."

Dong Xuebing retorted. "I am in my mid-twenties now."

"Can you be older than me?"

"That is because you are born earlier than me."

"That's it." Qu Yunxuan rolled her eyes. "Don't even think of asking me to act cutesy in front of you."

Dong Xuebing argued. "Who was the one who kept moaning… Hao Gege… Hao Gege… earlier?"

Qu Yunxuan blushed and raised her arm. "Talk about something else before I beat you up!"

Dong Xuebing is unhappy for being called a 'small brat' by Aunt Xuan all the time. He rolled over on top of her and slowly spread her legs. He needs to 'teach her a lesson.'

Qu Yunxuan gave him a stare. "Stop it…. who was the one who can't stand it earlier?"

"You think you are great? Huh? I shall see who can't stand it this time!"

"I think you are asking for a beating. Get off me…. Ah…. Stop…. I am due in three months…. This is not good for our baby…."

"You are four months away from your due date. It's still early."

"Are you not going to listen to me?"

"You are the one who refused to listen."

"Alright… I will listen and obey what you say. Be good and get off me."

"You got to act cutesy first."

"……"

"Hurry."

"Hao Gege…. My good nephew's… hubby… please stop…."

Dong Xuebing is satisfied and kisses her. "That's more like it. Alright… I will go and do the dishes."

Qu Yunxuan slapped Dong Xuebing's chest lightly. "You keep bullying me."

"Eh? Why are you holding on to me?"

"You are tired today. I will do the dishes."

"I'm not tired. I can wash them."

"I am asking you to rest. You don't need to do any household chores." Qu Yunxuan got off the bed and got dressed. "Your focus should be on your work, and I will take care of the house. Our child and I will depend on you in the future. Haha…"

Dong Xuebing nodded. "I will give you two a good life and make sure you all will grow fat."

Qu Yunxuan laughed. "Our daughter is not born yet. But I am warning you. You must not spoil her in the future."

"There's an old saying, Boys should be strict, and girls should be pampered." Dong Xuebing had gone through hardships when he was young, but he will not let his children suffer. "We will give our daughter what she wants. She must not suffer any hardships."

Qu Yunxuan looks at him. "You are not going to be a responsible father. How can you pamper our daughter like this?"

"You don't know this. Just listen to me."

"I am older than you. How can you say I don't know anything?"

"Aunt Xuan, stop using your age against me. You might be older, but that does not mean you are always right." Dong Xuebing sat up and smiled. "Your due date is more than three months away. Why are we arguing over this? Come over…. I will help you wear your clothes." Dong Xuebing grabbed a pair of stockings and tried to put them on her feet.

Qu Yunxuan laughed. "I don't need to wear this at home."

"You got to wear it, or you might catch a cold." Dong Xuebing used this opportunity to stroke her legs. "Your legs are pretty."

"Stop it."

"I am telling the truth. I am fortunate to have you as my wife." Dong Xuebing kissed her tummy again. He had lost count of the times he kissed it today. "Oh, are you going home tonight?" He asked and pressed his ear on her tummy. "Hehe…. I can feel her moving."

"I got to go back. My Mum had called several times today. I told her I went to the company to do some work, but she is worried about me."

"Sigh…. What's there to be worried about?"

"She is worried because I am pregnant. I will be leaving around 8.30 pm, and I can accompany you a while longer. Stop making that face. Haha…. I will come back tomorrow."

It's almost 8 pm after they cleaned the apartment. Dong Xuebing cherished the remaining time together with Qu Yunxuan and hugged her in his arms. They chatted and kissed every few minutes. He likes the tranquility of being around his loved ones after his political rivalries ended. This is the only time he can rest peacefully.

Holding all the power under the sky and getting drunk on a beauty's lap.

What else can be more blissful than this?

Dong Xuebing…. You must continue to work harder….

Chapter 611: Mum cried

Evening. 8 pm.

The moon is up, and the stars are shining brightly.

Dong Xuebing smiled and lit a cigarette as he watched Qu Yunxuan drives off in her Mercedes Benz. He hummed a song as he walked back to his residential building.

First floor….

Second floor….

Third floor….

As Dong Xuebing was about to open Aunt Xuan's apartment, he noticed the lights of his old apartment were switched on from under the door. His first thought is someone had broken into his old apartment. He quickly took out his keys and opened the door.

"Who is it?" A woman asked.

Dong Xuebing was relieved to hear this voice. He had listened to this voice his whole life. "Mum, why are you in Beijing?"

"Xiao Bing?" Luan Xiaoping walks out of the kitchen with a broom. "Why are you here?"

"I was here since yesterday. I am here for some official matters."

"Why didn't you let me know?" Luan Xiaoping grumbled. "You frightened me. I thought someone had broken into our house."

"You are the one who had frightened me. I was wondering why the lights are switched on."

"Sit there and stop walking around. I had just mopped the floor. Look at your shoeprints."

Dong Xuebing laughed. "Why have you come back to Beijing?"

Luan Xiaoping took a mop from the bathroom to clean the dirty shoeprints. "It's Sunday tomorrow, and Old Yang is not working. He wants to come to Beijing to look at our former apartment. That's why I came back to pack up the house and buy some groceries. It's been vacant for more than a year. How can we have guests over in this state? Lift your legs."

Dong Xuebing lifted both his legs. "Why is Old Yang coming over?"

Luan Xiaoping mopped the floor. "He wants to see our apartment."

"What's there to see in this small rundown apartment? Did you two register your marriage?"

Luan Xiaoping blushed. "We are considering this, but it's not finalized."

Dong Xuebing is unhappy. "You had met his family, and Old Yang is coming to our house. Isn't this the proper procedure? What do you mean by it's not finalized?"

Luan Xiaoping gave Dong Xuebing a stare. "Don't try to be smart. Go and change to slippers, and help me clean the windows. I can't reach as I am short."

"Sigh…. I am tired." Dong Xuebing mumbled as he massaged his aching waist. He took a cloth and started wiping the windows unwillingly. "This is going to happen eventually…. I can understand this feeling."

Luan Xiaoping overheard him. "What did you say?"

"Err…. Nothing. I am saying you have become prettier."

Ring… ring… ring… Luan Xiaoping's phone rang.

Dong Xuebing turned and saw his mother wiping her hands and answering the call. "Hello… Yes…. I'm Luan Xiaoping. Oh…. Zhaojuan…. That's right…. what's wrong? Oh, you are coming with your Mum and Old Yang tomorrow? Of course, I welcome you all… Are you driving over? Then…. Then…. I will go and fetch you all."

Dong Xuebing asked after his mother hung up. "Who was that?"

Luan Xiaoping replied with a somber tone. "It's Old Yang's sister, Yang Zhaojuan, and their mother."

"Yang Zhaojuan? Is she Su Jia's mother? The one I met before?" Dong Xuebing could not remember their names.

"No." Luan Xiaoping replied. "The one you met in the City Committee family quarters is Yang Zhaofen. Zhaojuan is Old Yang's youngest Sister. You had not met her."

"Oh, why are they coming over?"

Suddenly, Dong Xuebing noticed his mother's phone was still on. He frowned and picked it up. "It's not hung up."

Luan Xiaoping looks over. "I am not good with mobile phones. Help me hang up."

"Wait…. The other party had not hung up, and someone is talking."

"What are you doing?"

"Shh…. Don't say anything."

Dong Xuebing could hear the sounds of cloth rubbing against the cloth and could not hear the conversation. But he can hear someone saying his mother's name. He put the phone on speaker and increased the volume.

"We got to wake up early tomorrow." A woman said, and it should be Yang Zhaojuan.

"You can just go on your own. My legs are not good, and I don't want to travel." This person should be Old Yang's mother. Her voice is hoarse and sounds old.

"Mum, how can you not go? You got to be my Brother's gatekeeper."

"I had met Xiaoping before."

"What do you think of her?"

"Average…. Sigh…. I don't like her."

"That's right. My Brother is mesmerized by her and can't see everything. As a family, we should be the gatekeeper in case he makes the wrong decision. I spoke to my Brother over the phone yesterday, and he is going to register their marriage. I don't know what's so good with Luan Xiaoping. She got average looks, and her dressing is off. She got no taste at all. Moreover, she is from a small farming village.

Yang Zhaode's mother asked. "Isn't she from Beijing?"

"I heard her mention that she is from a village in Fen Zhou City. Her former husband is from Beijing." Yang Zhaojuan smacked her lips. "She is not good enough for my Brother."

Suddenly, a man's voice said. "Xiao Jia had said Luan Xiaoping's son is rich."

Yang Zhaojuan retorted. "How rich can a Subdistrict Office Director be?"

"Xiao Jia said he is driving a good car."

"How can you call someone rich with over a million RMB? Just our two houses are worth over two million RMB. I heard Luan Xiaoping does not even own a house, and she lived in a small single bedroom apartment in Beijing with her son. It's still a rented apartment. You are a nobody if you don't own a house. We can buy three BMWs if we sell our houses."

The man replied. "You are too biased. Don't ever say these in front of your elder Brother."

Yang Zhaojuan replied. "I am doing this for my Brother. I don't like Luan Xiaoping, and I wonder what my Brother is thinking."

Yang Zhaode's mother replied after a short pause. "If it's like what Zhaojun said, then it's really…."

"Don't you agree with me?" Yang Zhaojuan added. "Mum, you must stop my Brother before he regrets in the future. I have a classmate who got divorced last year. She is around forty years old and is pretty. She comes from a good family and has two houses in Hebei Province. One of them is a mansion, and she is driving a BMW. If you agree, I will recommend her to my Brother."

Yang Zhaode's mother replied. "Show me her picture."

"I got it with me. Here."

"Hmmm…. This girl is quite good-looking. How old is she again?"

"Forty-one. She is much younger than Luan Xiaoping."

The middle-aged man asked. "Then why are you going to Beijing?"

Yang Zhaojuan replied. "We still have not met Xiaoping's family. It's only my Sister who had met her son. I want to see her family's condition and make my Brother change his mind. Mum, I am not saying she must own property. We are not snobs. But if her family is poor and she is from a village, they will have differences in the future. They will not be compatible. My Brother is a City Organization Department Chief and a Party Committee Member. If they get married, she will have to attend public events with him in the future. She will be a laughing stock."

Dong Xuebing is looking terrible and hangs up the call. F*CK you!

Luan Xiaoping's eyes were red, and she wiped her tears.

Dong Xuebing got more furious when he saw his mother cry. "How dare they look down on you?! I should be the one looking down on them! Mum, break off with Old Yang and move in with me. I will take care of you for the rest of your life."

Luan Xiaoping's tears rolled down her cheeks.

Dong Xuebing is frustrated and paces around the living room. "Who the hell do they think they are? Mum, are you aware that his family is not willing to accept you?"

"Yes."

"I should be the one who is unwilling to accept this!" Dong Xuebing cursed. "It's their fortune for my Mum to get married into their family. They should thank their ancestors for doing good deeds. How dare they look down on you because you are from a village and say you have average looks?! You all are the ones who should be thankful!"

Dong Xuebing took out his phone to call Yang Zhaode.

Luan Xiaoping tried to snatch the phone away. "Stop it, Xiao Bing. You are not allowed to call him."

Dong Xuebing replied angrily. "Why?!"

"I am dating your Uncle Yang and not his family."

"But marriage is between two families. If Old Yang's family are unwilling, you will suffer when you get married into his family."

"Listen to me. Sit!" Luan Xiaoping is angry too. "Are you not going to listen to me?! Give me your phone!"

Dong Xuebing threw himself on the sofa. "Who the hell do they think they are?! They must be blind!"

Chapter 612: Shock them to death

Evening.

Dong Xuebing's apartment.

Dong Xuebing cursed and swore for almost ten minutes without stopping in the living room.

"What sort of characters do they have?!"

"How dare they say such things behind your back?! I dare Yang Zhaojuan to say it in front of me!"

"I will beat her to death! Does she think she is superior?"

"What's wrong with being a villager? Are you saying that your family's previous few generations are not from a village?!"

"You dare to look down on my mother because she is from a village?! Your whole F*cking family are villagers!"

Luan Xiaoping stopped crying when she saw her son cursing and swearing. She even burst out laughing. She pulled her son to the sofa and patted his hand.

Dong Xuebing is still angry. "Why are you smiling?"

Luan Xiaoping smiled. "I am smiling because I have a good son."

"Of course. I am the best." Dong Xuebing took a sip of water. "I think you should break off with Old Yang. Mum, I am not angry with Uncle Yang. He had helped me a lot, and I know he is a good man. He treats you well, and I like him too. But this is making me mad. His family is looking down on us, and why should we try to please them? Who do they think they are?"

"Are you done?" Luan Xiaoping gave Dong Xuebing a stare.

Dong Xuebing replied. "Not yet. Let me scold them for a while more."

"That's enough. Which family doesn't gossip about others? Just let them be."

"This is not you, Mum. You were crying a while ago." Dong Xuebing looks at his mother. "Why are you so calm now?"

Luan Xiaoping laughed and stroked Dong Xuebing's hand. "I am happy to see you so getting agitated because of me. I am not angry anymore. Zhaojuan talks like this, but she is a good person."

"Good person, my ass!" Dong Xuebing scolded.

"Xiao Bing, don't say that."

"Mum, tell me the truth. Are you going to get married to Old Yang regardless of anything?"

Luan Xiaoping is slightly embarrassed. "You…. If you don't want me to re-marry, I will not re-marry."

Dong Xuebing smacked his lips. "Don't push it to me. I am asking you this. Are you sure about this?"

Luan Xiaoping thought for a while and nodded. "Old Yang treats me well."

Dong Xuebing understood. His mother cannot be separated from Old Yang. He took out a cigarette and took a few puffs. "Alright… since you have decided, I will listen to you." He continues after a short pause. "But this is not over yet. I cannot pretend I have not overheard what Yang Zhaojuan said. Who says my mother doesn't have the makings of beauty just because she is from a village?!"

Luan Xiaoping pulled her son. "What are you going to do?"

"Mum, we cannot take this like it is. Since you decided to be with Old Yang, we must gain his family's respect. If not, you will be bullied by them in the future. You will be the Eldest Sister-in-law to Yang Zhaojuan, and you got to establish your authority. What are you going to do if she tries to sow discord between you and her mother? Old Yang will side with his mother."

Luan Xiaoping is amused. "Old Yang is coming tomorrow. Don't make things difficult for them."

"I am going to prove them wrong." Dong Xuebing replied angrily. "They dare to talk behind your back, and I am not allowed to get back at them?! Leave this to me. We are different now. They dare to look down on us because we have no car, no properties, and you have average looks?! Go to hell! I will let them know they are the ones who are not good enough for you!" He pulled Luan Xiaoping up. "It's just pretending. Who doesn't know how to do that? Let's go."

Luan Xiaoping did not move. "Where are we going?"

"Just follow me."

"It's late now."

"Just listen to me." Dong Xuebing dragged his mother out.

Luan Xiaoping smiled helplessly and followed him. "Haha… I wonder who you get this foul temper from."

"It's definitely from you."

"I don't have such a foul temper."

"You are too good to others, and that's why Yang Zhaojuan dares to look down on us. We are going to show them!" Dong Xuebing closed the door and walked down with his mother. "She is going to recommend her friend, who drives a BMW and owns a mansion in Hebei Province, to Uncle Yang. Is she kidding? I think she has never met anyone rich before."

Luan Xiaoping smiled and patted Dong Xuebing's back. "Alright."

Dong Xuebing doesn't have any cars now. He had lent his Cayenne to Zhou Yanru, and Qu Yunxuan had driven the Mercedes back. They can only hail a taxi by the roadside.

A taxi stopped in front of them.

Dong Xuebing opened the door for his mother and sat in the front passenger seat.

Luan Xiaoping asked. "Son, where are you bringing me to?"

"Wang Fu Jin. I am going to buy some clothing for you."

8.40 pm.

Wang Fu Jin Street.

Luan Xiaoping thought Dong Xuebing was bringing her to Xin Dong Dan shopping mall in Wang Fu Jin Street, but he kept walking straight. They went to a few top international brand stores and entered.

An assistant went up to them. "Welcome."

Dong Xuebing nodded and turned to his mother. "The handbags look nice. Which one do you like?"

Luan Xiaoping whispered to Dong Xuebing. "Those bags look expensive."

"It's above ten thousand. Louis Vuitton, which is also known as LV."

"Above ten thousand?!" Luan Xiaoping turns and wants to walk away. "I don't want it. It's too expensive for a handbag. My bags cost less than one hundred."

"It's different." Dong Xuebing pulled his mother. "Hurry up and pick one. I am going to dress you up today. Don't you want to prove Yang Zhaojuan wrong?"

Luan Xiaoping kept quiet.

"If you are not saying anything, I will pick one for you."

"Alright. We will buy it. I will listen to you today." Luan Xiaoping replied.

"That's right. Haha…. This is also an opportunity for me to show my filial piety."

Luan Xiaoping laughed. "Only this time. Don't anyhow spend your money on me in the future."

Dong Xuebing waved the store assistant over. "Can you recommend your handbags to us? Thank you."

The store assistant noticed Dong Xuebing's watch and knew he was a rich customer. She brought them around the shop and recommended the various models to them. Dong Xuebing kept looking at his watch as it was getting late. He saw a red handbag and did not even look at the price.

"Mum, what do you think of this?"

Luan Xiaoping looks at the bag. "It's too bright."

"This looks good on you. Let's get this."

That handbag cost over 80,000 RMB and Dong Xuebing swiped his credit card without any hesitation. After that, he dragged his mother to the next shop.

9 pm.

Dong Xuebing and Luan Xiaoping come out from one of the boutiques, carrying seven to eight shopping bags. They had brought dresses, clothes, handbags, shoes, and some necklaces. He had spent over one million RMB on all these.

Luan Xiaoping regretted it after they left the stores. "Xiao Bing, it's too expensive…. These…."

"It's not expensive. It will be well spent as you can dress up nicely, and you look pretty."

"I am almost fifty years old. How can I be pretty?"

"What's wrong with being pretty at your age? You still have not put on make-up and done up your hair. We have enough clothes. Let's go to a beauty salon.

Near to the Northern City.

Dong Xuebing and Luan Xiaoping entered a luxurious-looking beauty salon.

The staff quickly walks over to greet them. "Welcome."

Luan Xiaoping felt they had spent a lot today and is not willing to spend anymore. She pulled Dong Xuebing back and wanted to go home. But he refused and stopped her. "Help me doll up my mother. What packages do you all have? Show me your menu."

"Alright. Please wait a while."

The staff returned with a menu and started recommending the various packages.

Dong Xuebing doesn't know anything about these. "What time do you all close?"

The girl smiles. "We are open 24 hours."

"Good." Dong Xuebing took a step back and touched his mother's hair. "Let's start with her hair. Dye and give her a perm. Try to make her look younger and prettier. After that, I want this… this… this… this… and this…."

Luan Xiaoping looks at Dong Xuebing. "Xiao Bing, it's too late."

Dong Xuebing laughed. "If it's too late, you can sleep here. Anyway, they are the ones servicing you. Everything will be done when you wake up."

The girl saw Dong Xuebing choosing a few packages worth over sixty thousand without blinking, and she immediately smiled. When he went to pay for the packages, she turned to Luan Xiaoping. "Auntie, your son is so good towards you."

"Yes." Luan Xiaoping felt proud. "He has always been like this since young."

"I can tell." The girl has an envious look in her eyes. "You are so fortunate."

"Mum, it's paid." Dong Xuebing returns after settling the payment. "Let's go. We will do your hair first. They will be shocked by your beauty when they see you tomorrow."

Chapter 613: Mum is a great beauty

Sunday.

The sky is clear, and there's a warm breeze.

Dong Xuebing woke up early in the morning and took a taxi to Qian Meng Street to get his car before driving to the beauty salon in the northern part of the city.

When Dong Xuebing entered the salon, he saw his mother talking on the phone in the reception area. Her back is facing him.

"Are you all reaching? Xiao Bing and I will be there soon."

"Haha…. Xiao Bing is also in Beijing?"

"Yes. He is here for some official businesses."

"Alright. Tell Xiao Bing to drive safely and don't rush. See you later."

After hanging up, Luan Xiaoping turns and sees her son. She smiles. "Your Uncle Yang had called to say they are reaching the City area."

Dong Xuebing pretends to be surprised. "Eh? Who are you?"

Luan Xiaoping gave him a stare. "I am your mother!"

"You are my mother?!" Dong Xuebing exclaimed. "I can't recognize you. You are too pretty."

"Nonsense. Haha…." Luan Xiaoping lowered her head and looked at herself in the mirror. She is satisfied with the results.

It's impossible for Dong Xuebing not to recognize Luan Xiaoping. They had been living together for so many years, and he could even recognize her blindfolded. But Luan Xiaoping is very pretty today. She wore the clothes and accessories they bought yesterday. She wore a blouse, a light-colored skirt, a pair of trendy high heels, and held a red handbag. With her necklace and earrings, she looks fabulous. Her hair is permed and pinned up. She is a different person now. The salon had covered most of her wrinkles with make-up, and she looks seven to eight years younger.

Dong Xuebing gasped. "Mum, you look different today. Err…. Did anyone try to pick you up before I reach?"

Luan Xiaoping blushed and cleared her throat.

Dong Xuebing was stunned. "Really?!"

Luan Xiaoping stuttered. "I don't know him, and he asked me for my number. I just ignored him."

"Hahaha…." Dong Xuebing laughed. "Mum, you had charmed everyone here."

Luan Xiaoping also laughed. "Stop making fun of me."

"Let your son look at you for a while more." Dong Xuebing stood in front of her and examined her face. "Not bad…. You will surely shock Uncle Yang later. I dare to say they will not recognize you."

Luan Xiaoping laughed. "Stop exaggerating."

"I am telling the truth."

"Mum, you are really pretty. These clothes suit you well."

"Alright… alright…. Let's go now."

Dong Xuebing noticed a few men stealing glances at Luan Xiaoping when they stepped out of the beauty salon, and he was happy. He opened the door for her and helped her into the car. He also let her wear his Patek Philippe watch, and she is now wearing at least three million RMB.

Let's go!

Guang An Meng.

The service road outside of China Construction Bank.

A Hebei registered Audi stopped by the roadside. They had arranged to meet here. Yang Zhaode did not let his driver drive him as this was his private affair and a meeting between both families. His brother-in-law, Yang Zhaojuan's husband, is driving, and she is sitting in the front passenger seat. Yang Zhaode, Yang Zhaofen, and their mother are in the back seat.

"Mum, why are you looking so grumpy?" Yang Zhaode looked at his mother and smiled. "Who made you mad?"

His mother did not reply to him.

Yang Zhaojuan blinked. "Brother, she is unhappy because she thinks Luan Xiaoping and you are not compatible."

Yang Zhaojuan's husband tapped his wife's arm to stop her.

Yang Zhaode did not get mad, and he laughed. "Zhaofen, what do you think?"

Su Jia's mother, Yang Zhaofen, replied. "I have met Sister Luan and her son before. I like them." Luan Xiaoping had given Su Jia an expensive ring, and Dong Xuebing had helped her get an internship with Xin Hua News Agency. Of course, she will side with her.

Luan Xiaoping smacked her lips. "Sis, Mum is not saying Luan Xiaoping has a bad character. It is because her family conditions are not good enough for Brother."

Yang Zhaode has a good temper. "You keep saying our Mum says this and that. I think all these are how you feel. Haha…."

Yang Zhaode's mother interrupted. "Zhaojuan is right. I don't deny Xiaoping is a good person, but her family is poor." Yang Zhaojuan is the youngest and is spoilt. "Also, Xiao Ping is from the countryside."

Yang Zhaode laughed. "Then why did you two come along?"

"I want to see her family's condition and act as your gatekeeper." Yang Zhaode's mother replied.

Yang Zhaode was about to reply when a Porsche Cayenne stopped in front of them. Yang Zhaojuan looked at that car and gasped. "That's a beautiful car. People in Beijing are rich."

Yang Zhaofen replied. "This is the capital, and there are many rich people here. Is that a Porsche?"

"Yes." Yang Zhaojuan looks at her watch. "Why is Xiaoping not here yet?"

Yang Zhaode replied. "We are meeting at 10 am, and we are fifteen minutes earlier."

"Eh? That young man looks familiar." Yang Zhaofen looks at the man's back.

That young man is opening the passenger door of the Cayenne and helping someone out. A while later, an elegant middle-aged woman got out of the car. She is wearing Channel, holding an LV handbag, and is wearing a beautiful necklace.

Yang Zhaojuan looks at her enviously. "People in big cities are different. We can easily see well-dressed people on the streets. Is she going to attend the Paris Fashion Week?" She is into fashion and knows this woman is wearing at least a few million RMB on her.

The young man and middle-aged woman turn and walk towards their car.

Yang Zhaode is stunned. "Huh? Xiaoping and Xiao Bing?"

Yang Zhaojuan and the rest had only met Luan Xiaoping once or twice, but Yang Zhaode is different. He recognized her immediately.

"Xiaoping is here?" Yang Zhaojuan looks around. "Where is she?"

Yang Zhaode smiles. "There… the one you say she is dressed up for Paris Fashion Week."

Yang Zhaojuan's jaws dropped. "Ah? She is Xiaoping?"

Yang Zhaofen realized that woman was Xiaoping. "Ah…. It's her."

They got off the car with a shocked expression.

Luan Xiaoping held Dong Xuebing's arm and walked towards them. "Zhaojuan, Zhaofeng." She turns and introduces. "Zhaojuan, you have not met my son, right? This is Xiao Bing."

Dong Xuebing smiled and greeted them. He glanced at Yang Zhaojuan to remember her. This is the woman who looked down on Luan Xiaoping.

Yang Zhaojuan was still shocked. "Xiaoping…. What happened?"

Yang Zhaode looked at his sisters and smiled. "Zhaojuan and Zhaofen could not recognize you. Why did you dress up so beautifully today? I almost did not recognize you."

Luan Xiaoping felt shy, but she felt good when she saw Zhaojuan's shocked expression.

Yang Zhaojuan was stunned by Luan Xiaoping and felt little beside her. Where did she get these clothes?"

After the introductions, Dong Xuebing and Luan Xiaoping chatted with Yang Zhaode's mother and Yang Zhaojuan's husband for a while.

Yang Zhaode's mother started to look at Luan Xiaoping differently. She did not expect her to become so pretty suddenly, and her impression of her changed.

A few minutes later, Yang Zhaode interrupted. "Let's go. This is not a good place to chat."

Yang Zhaojuan looks away from Luan Xiaoping's diamond necklace and smiles. "That's right. Let's go to your house."

Dong Xuebing looks at her. "Sure."

"Our car is too cramp." Yang Zhaode walks over. "Let's go. I will sit in Xiao Bing's car."

Dong Xuebing smiles and opens the rear passenger door for them.

In the car.

Yang Zhaode asked. "When did you change car?"

"Haha…. It's been a while."

Luan Xiaoping is anxious and asks softly. "Xiao Bing, are we going to North Heping Road?"

"Don't worry about anything." Dong Xuebing will not bring them to their small rented apartment. Since Zhaojuan thinks we are poor, we will show her.

Yang Zhaode sensed they were trying to compete, and he looked at Luan Xiaoping. "Haha…. What is going on?"

"Nothing." Dong Xuebing laughed. "Nothing happened."

Luan Xiaoping slapped Dong Xuebing's back lightly and turned to Yang Zhaode. "My son wants to make me glamourous for this first official meeting between both families."

Yang Zhaode laughed and understood what had happened. He held Luan Xiaoping's hand. "I don't know anything about fashion brands, but I think it should be worth ten of thousand from the way Zhaojuan looks at you."

Luan Xiaoping doesn't know how to reply.

Yang Zhaode was surprised. "Is it more than that?"

Luan Xiaoping whispered. "Over one million."

Yang Zhaode took a deep breath. "Wow…." He laughs and turns to Dong Xuebing. "Xiao Bing, you are so good to your mother. One million is more than ten years of my salary."

"He is messing around." Luan Xiaoping said this, but she is proud of Dong Xuebing.

Chapter 614: Mansion

Morning.

The Audi followed the Cayenne towards the western district.

Yang Zhaojuan doesn't believe Luan Xiaoping is so well off. Channel clothes, LV bag, Patek Philippe watch, Porsche…. How is this possible? Luan Xiaoping should have borrowed all these from friends. But she is unhappy because she looks like she is from the countryside when standing beside Luan Xiaoping. The truth will be out when they go to her house. If she is rich, she should own property. Of course, Yang Zhaojuan doesn't believe Luan Xiaoping is wealthy.

Yang Zhaode doesn't know about Luan Xiaoping's wealth. He knows she is rich, but he does not know she is rich. That's why he is shocked to find out Luan Xiaoping's clothes and accessories are over a million.

Yang Zhaode can understand if someone buys a house or car with one million. But spending so much on clothes and shoes is ridiculous.

How rich must you be for you to spend your money like this?

Everyone, including Yang Zhaojuan and Yang Zhaofen, is looking forward to seeing Luan Xiaoping's house.

Ten minutes….

Half an hour….

One hour….

Dong Xuebing drives into a suburb mansion district. The houses here are cheaper than in the City area, but the mansions here are different. These mansions are more expensive than the houses in the City area. For example, this new residential area they are in now. Only a few units are occupied, and all the cars here are Mercedes and Bentleys.

Dong Xuebing stopped the car and got out.

Luan Xiaoping quickly got out and pulled him. "Xiao Bing, is this our house?"

Dong Xuebing did not reply. "Mum, just leave everything to me. Let's go."

Yang Zhaode's mother is shocked as she gets out of the car. Luan Xiaoping saw her and quickly went over to help her.

Yang Zhaojuan was shocked again. "Xiaoping, you are staying here?"

Yang Zhaofen is looking around curiously.

Luan Xiaoping stuttered. She is not living here and has never been to such a high-class residential area. "Err…."

Dong Xuebing interrupted. "Yes. Our house is here. Please come in."

Yang Zhaojuan knows how expensive the houses here are. They cost over ten million. "Sister Luan, which unit is your house?" She did not realize she had changed the way she addressed Luan Xiaoping. All this while, she calls her by her name.

Dong Xuebing looked at her and sneered in his heart. "Auntie, which unit do you think?"

"I think?"

"That's right. Which unit do you think is good?"

Everyone, including Yang Zhaojuan, could sense the hostility in Dong Xuebing's tone. She got mad and pointed at a luxurious three-story mansion. It is much bigger than all the other units there. "That unit is not bad."

Dong Xuebing laughed. "You have good eyes. That's right. That is my house."

Yang Zhaojuan is speechless.

Luan Xiaoping quickly pulls her son. "What are you doing?"

Dong Xuebing did not reply to her and brought everyone into that mansion. They walked past the front porch and garden. The main door is opened, and everyone is curious why Dong Xuebing did not close it. This mansion comes with a bigger garden and has one more floor than other mansions. It also includes a swimming pool.

"Come in…."

"This…."

"Mum, you are the host."

Yang Zhaode looked at Luan Xiaoping and asked softly. "When did you buy a mansion?"

Luan Xiaoping replied. "Xiao Bing arranges all these. I also don't know what he is up to. We are not staying here."

Yang Zhaode is amused. He knows Dong Xuebing is helping his mother to establish authority and does not expose him. It's normal for the son to side with his mother.

Dong Xuebing looks at Yang Zhaojuan and smiles. "Auntie, what do you think of our house?"

Everyone can tell Dong Xuebing is challenging Yang Zhaojuan.

Yang Zhaojuan looks at him. "Is this your house?"

"Of course." Dong Xuebing saw his mother helping Yang Zhaode's mother to the sofa and asked everyone to sit. "Sorry for being a bad host. We don't have any good tea here."

Yang Zhaode's mother looked around and nodded with satisfaction.

How can she not be satisfied? Their mansion in Fen Zhou City might be better, but its worth is not even one-fifth of this house.

Yang Zhaofen did not expect Luan Xiaoping to be so wealthy and looked at her in surprise.

When everyone is in awe, a housing agent walks down from upstairs with a man. He looked at Dong Xuebing and the rest and was stunned for a while. "Eh? Are you all also here to view this unit? Welcome." The man, walking behind the housing agent, looks at them and leaves the mansion. The staff walks over to them. "Let me introduce this unit. I believe everyone has noticed the environment here. This is a new residential project, and all the units are spacious. We are offering a 5% discount if you are making full payment, and it just cost 19.8 million."

Yang Zhaojuan's face changed. "Xiaoping, this is not your house!"

Luan Xiaoping is embarrassed and gives her son a stare. They are exposed.

Yang Zhaofen and their mother are also looking terrible. They felt Luan Xiaoping and her son had fooled them.

But Dong Xuebing laughed. "Who says this is not our house?"

Yang Zhaojuan is furious. "This house is not even sold. You all…."

Before Yang Zhaojuan could finish, Dong Xuebing took out his checkbook and wrote a check. "19.8 million, right? Ok. Take this." He gave the check to the housing agent casually in front of everyone.

Everyone is speechless.

Dong Xuebing smiles and turns to Yang Zhaojuan. "This is my house now."

Chapter 615: This is a really wealthy person

Before noon. Beijing western suburb.

Hai Ge Garden Mansion, No. 6.

Yang Zhaode's mother and Yang Zhaofen looked at Dong Xuebing in shock. The sentence, 'This is my house now.' had made Yang Zhaojuan speechless. When the housing agent appeared, they thought Luan Xiaoping and her son had fooled them. But her son wrote a check of almost twenty million and bought the house on the spot.

That's twenty million!

Yang Zhaojuan cannot make this amount in ten lifetimes.

No words can describe how Yang Zhaojuan and the rest felt. They only have one question in their heads. How rich are Luan Xiaoping and her son?

One can even hear a needle drop in the house.

One second….

Two seconds….

Three seconds….

The housing agent came back to her senses and quickly looked at that check. Everything was fine, and she smiled. She is impressed by the way Dong Xuebing buys this house. They didn't even view the rooms, and he paid in full.

How do you determine a person is wealthy or not?

This is a really rich man!

"What's wrong?" Dong Xuebing looks at the staff. "Is there anything wrong with the check?"

"No…." The staff replied. "Sir, I will prepare the transaction paperwork for you immediately."

"There's no hurry. This house is renovated and has furniture. Are these included at that price?" The staff nodded, and Dong Xuebing laughed. "Good. You can cash in the check first, and we will settle the paperwork in the afternoon. Is this house considered mine now?" He did not forget to 'slap' Yang Zhaojuan again.

Although the paperwork was not completed, Dong Xuebing had paid for it. The staff smiles. "Of course. This is your house from now. I will pass you the keys and the contract later."

"Thank you." Dong Xuebing said and looked towards the door.

The staff got the hint. "I shall not disturb you all."

The staff walked out of the house quickly.

Dong Xuebing turns back and sees Yang Zhaojuan is still in a daze. "Auntie, have a seat."

Yang Zhaojuan has a grim expression.

Luan Xiaoping gave Dong Xuebing an angry stare. "Stop your nonsense." After that, she turns to Yang Zhaojuan. "Zhaojuan, don't bother with him."

Yang Zhaojuan quickly reply. "Ah…. It's alright."

Yang Zhaofen also tried to change the topic. "Sister Luan, this house is beautiful, and it comes along with a garden and swimming pool. Let's go upstairs to look at the bedrooms."

Everyone went to the second and third floors to look at the rooms.

When everyone was at a balcony on the third floor, Dong Xuebing pulled his mother aside. "Mum, did you bring your identification card and other documents with you? This house will be registered under your name, and you will be signing the contract later. This is my gift to you."

Luan Xiaoping quickly waves her hand. "I cannot accept it."

"It's already bought, and you got to accept it."

"Let's return it." Luan Xiaoping replied. "It's too expensive."

Dong Xuebing let out a hmph. "It's not expensive. I don't mind spending more to get back at them. I dare her to say we are poor again." Yang Zhaojuan and the rest will never call them poor. How can someone who wears over a million worth of clothes and lives in a twenty million mansion be poor?

Luan Xiaoping is touched and scolded by her son. "Why are you so revengeful?"

Dong Xuebing replied. "This is not revengeful. I will never allow anyone to bully you."

"Your Uncle Yang and his mother are still around. Don't embarrass Zhaojuan anymore. Do you understand?"

"Ok." Dong Xuebing had Zhaojuan look bad today and is not so angry with her now. "But you must accept this house. I have always wanted to buy a mansion for you. Don't reject it."

Luan Xiaoping replied helplessly. "Alright. But I will not be staying here. You hold on to the keys, and you can stay here when you come to Beijing."

"Let's keep a set of keys each."

"Ok."

Noon.

Purple Bamboo Park, Shangri-La Hotel.

Dong Xuebing made a lunch reservation in Beijing's top five-star hotel to host Yang Zhaode and his family, and it cost at least 200,000 RMB.

Dong Xuebing will go all out to make her mother look good. He uses practical ways to show them his mother's condition is not inferior to Yang Zhaode and might even be better. She can get any men if she wants. Stop thinking my mother is not good enough for him.

That's why Dong Xuebing did not mention anything about his mother and Yang Zhaode's marriage during lunch.

Dong Xuebing and Luan Xiaoping did not bring up this topic, but someone else did.

They might have discussed among themselves, and Yang Zhaojuan was shocked again by the five-digit dishes served on the table. She stopped talking and knew she had embarrassed herself today.

"Sister Luan." Yang Zhaofen has been close to Luan Xiaoping, and she is the best person to bring up this topic. "Have you and my brother decided on your marriage date?"

Luan Xiaoping blushed and looked at Yang Zhaode.

Yang Zhaode smiles at her.

"We…." Luan Xiaoping was about to say something when Yang Zhaode's mother interrupted. "Hurry and decide on the date."

Yang Zhaode laughed. "We are not going to hold a wedding ceremony, and we will just have a simple lunch between both families."

Yang Zhaode's mother nodded.

"Xiao Bing." Yang Zhaode looks at Dong Xuebing. "What do you think?"

Dong Xuebing laughed. "You can decide with my Mum. I will listen to her."

The marriage was settled, and everyone felt better.

Chapter 616: Sister Xie is here

Evening, 7 pm.

The sun is setting with a cooling light breeze.

Hai Ge Mansion District. Dong Xuebing's mother returned to Fen Zhou City with Old Yang's family, and Dong Xuebing smoked alone in the mansion. This meeting between both families is a success. He can tell his mother had gained Old Yang's family approval and respect. Everyone agrees to their marriage, and they should be registering it soon. He is happy for his mother as she has toiled all her life, and it's time for her to live in comfort.

Dong Xuebing snubbed his cigarette and walked about his house. The paperwork was settled this afternoon, and they had gotten the keys.

One minute….

Five minutes….

Ten minutes….

This house is beautiful.

Dong Xuebing is satisfied as he toured the house. Although he has around 200 million RMB worth of assets, he had never spent lavishly on himself. After his Auction Company is sold, the 200 million RMB will be banked into his account. The annual interest is large, and spending twenty million now is nothing.

Dong Xuebing is in a good mood and wants to share it with someone. He called Qu Yunxuan. "Hello, Aunt Xuan. Where are you?"

"I was about to call you."

"Haha… we think alike."

"Stop your nonsenses. Haha… I wanted to call you to tell you I will not be meeting you tonight."

"Ah?! Why?"

"I am having dinner at my parents' place, and I don't know what time I can come back."

"Alright. I will visit you the next time I come back."

After hanging up, Dong Xuebing went to the balcony on the third floor and sat on a bamboo lounge chair. He smacked his lips and thought to himself. I am alone again. If I knew this would happen, I would have returned with Mum. What am I going to do later? It's too boring. He thought for a while and called Zhou Yanru and Wang Yuling. They are shopping in An Zhen District, and he told them to meet him in front of Qian Meng Jian Guo Hotel tomorrow morning.

What should I do tonight?

Where should I go?

When Dong Xuebing was thinking, his phone rang. The caller display showed Xie Huilan's number.

Dong Xuebing quickly answered. "Sister Xie."

A cheerful voice replied. "I heard you are in Beijing."

"Yes. I am here to settle some work issues. How do you know?"

"I heard it from Xiao Hao. Haha…." Xie Huilan paused for a second. "I am also in Beijing. I came back this morning to see my family and have nothing to do after dinner. I am offering you a chance to bring me out for a date. It's been a while since we met."

Dong Xuebing cheered. "Sure! I am bored."

"Let's talk later."

"Ok. Come to Hai Ge Mansion District, No. 6."

"Did you buy a mansion?"

"I had bought it for my Mum and had just gotten the keys this afternoon."

"Haha…. You are so rich. Alright. I should be reaching in 30 minutes."

Dong Xuebing had not seen Xie Huilan for two weeks, and he missed her. He looks around and quickly drives to the nearest shopping mall. He grabbed a shopping cart and started buying toothbrushes, toothpaste, blankets, food, drinks, coffee, etc. Although the mansion comes with furniture and appliances, he still needs to get other stuff. If not, he can't live there tonight.

Half an hour later.

The sky is not dark, and Dong Xuebing drove to his house, covered in sweat.

Dong Xuebing opened the door and started carrying the stuff he had bought from his car.

Suddenly, a black Passat, with a Hebei registration plate, drove up the driveway and parked in the garage. A while later, Xie Huilan alighted and walked over. She is wearing a black suit, black heels, and a white blouse.

Dong Xuebing wiped his sweat and waved. "You are here!"

"Are you moving house?" Xie Huilan narrowed her eyes as she walked closer.

"The house is empty, and I went to a supermarket to get all these." Dong Xuebing carried a blanket out of his car. "Go in first. I will be done soon."

Xie Huilan smiles. "Let me help you."

Dong Xuebing waved his hand. "No need. Go and watch TV. I am fine."

"I said I will help. Give it to me."

"Fine. Be careful not to hurt your back."

"Haha…. Do you think I am in my seventies or eighties?"

They finished moving the stuff into the house a while later and packed it.

Xie Huilan laid on a lounge chair under a parasol by the pool to rest. Dong Xuebing is wiping his sweat as he comes out and sits on the floor beside her with a smile. He rested his head on her sexy long legs.

"What are you trying to do?" Xie Huilan laughed.

Dong Xuebing closed his eyes and lay there. "I'm tired, and I am taking a rest. It's more comfortable to rest on your legs."

Xie Huilan touched his face and tickled his nose and lips. Dong Xuebing sneezed. "Stop… it's ticklish."

"Stop fooling around."

"You are very pretty today."

"Really?"

"Yes. Why are you so pretty? I can't get enough of you."

"Haha… thank you." Xie Huilan narrowed her eyes and twirled Dong Xuebing's hair with her fingers.

Dong Xuebing opens his eyes. "What are you thinking?"

Xie Huilan looked at him and smiled. "I am thinking of you."

Dong Xuebing doesn't believe her. "Hehe… how is this possible?"

"Then what should I be thinking about? Huh?"

"It should be about work." Dong Xuebing looks at her. "Oh, how is the situation in Yan Tai County? Is your work going smoothly?"

"Not bad."

"Are there any changes to the key positions?"

Xie Huilan smiles. "Nothing much has changed except the County's Ministry of Education Director, Yu Zhengzhi, and Public Security Executive Deputy Bureau Chief, Hu Yiguo, had been arrested."

Dong Xuebing was surprised. "How can this be considered not many changes? What happened?"

Xie Huilan stopped smiling. "Do you remember about Hui Tian Village Middle School, Teacher Zhou, who was gang-raped? You are the one who told me about this case. At first, we didn't have any evidence, and I was too busy to deal with them. After you were transferred, I spoke to Daofa. We formed a special investigation team with the Commission for Discipline Inspection to investigate this case. We got evidence that Yu Zhengzhi and Hu Yiguo were involved and also found to have accepted bribes. A few days ago, they and their men had been arrested."

"Good!" Dong Xuebing clapped. "These people should be locked up forever."

Xie Huilan nodded. "Yes. They should have been arrested much earlier."

Dong Xuebing had not forgotten about this case. He learned about it two weeks after being transferred to Yan Tai County because Teacher Zhou is his Mum's colleague. Luan Xiaoping had also asked him to help her. But he could not find any evidence, and Yu Zhengzhi and Hu Yiguo are close with the former County Party Committee. Another reason is Teacher Zhou is afraid of reporting it to the authorities. This case is finally closed, and he is relieved. "This is something to celebrate. Oh, who will be replacing them?"

"The Public Security Executive Deputy Bureau Chief's replacement is not decided and will be decided next week. But the Ministry of Education Director has been decided. He is Huang Shizhong, from Xi Ping District."

"Is Huang Shizhong your man?"

"No. I have never met him. The higher-ups post him to our County."

"Oh, do you think Qin Yong has the opportunity to be the Executive Deputy Bureau Chief?"

"He is too young to take on this position." Xie Huilan shook his head.

Qin Yong and Dong Xuebing are close, and the latter wants to help him. "What has age got to do with it? I am young, and I am a Section Chief now. Furthermore, Old Qin is older than me. What's wrong with him getting a promotion?"

Xie Huilan stroked his hair. "Do you think everyone can overcome all problems and issues like you?"

Dong Xuebing felt proud. "You are right."

"Haha…. You are not being modest."

"It's the truth, and why should I be modest?" Dong Xuebing suddenly change the topic. "Let's not talk about these. You had eliminated the evil, and this calls for a celebration. Let's celebrate."

Xie Huilan laughed. "How are we going to celebrate?"

"A kiss." Dong Xuebing sits up.

Xie Huilan pushed Dong Xuebing and laughed. "It's still bright, and you should know I am shy."

Dong Xuebing is speechless. "You say you are shy? Then there will be no more shameless people in this world."

"You are getting bolder now. You even dare to make fun of me?! Huh?"

"Fine… fine… you are shy…." Dong Xuebing replied and laid on Xie Huilan's lap again. "You are the Leader, and I got to follow your orders." Suddenly, he saw Xie Huilan smiles, and her sexy lips moved closer to give him a peck on his lips.

"Your mouth stinks of cigarette." Xie Huilan looks at him. "Don't smoke too much."

Dong Xuebing nodded with a smile.

Chapter 617: Xie Huilan in Bikini

Evening.

It is almost dark.

Dong Xuebing has been resting on Xie Huilan's lap for more than fifteen minutes.

"Sister Xie, are you leaving later?"

"Haha…. I will go back to my Mum's place later and return to Yan Tai County tomorrow morning."

"Are you kidding me? You are already here and should just stay here tonight."

"What are you up to again?"

"No. I just miss you and want to chat with you longer."

"I shall decide based on your performance later."

Dong Xuebing rolled his eyes and did not reply to Xie Huilan. She might be smiling all the time, but no one knows what she is thinking, including himself. She is too independent, and no one can change her mind. So, he decided to save his breath from persuading her. He knows he can never gain the upper hand in this relationship because of her age, position, family background, and character.

Fine….

But Dong Xuebing is not a good boy. His hands started moving along her legs down to her heels. Xie Huilan is wearing a pair of stockings.

"Is there something on my legs?"

Dong Xuebing laughed and nodded. "There's a mosquito, and I am chasing it away for you."

Xie Huilan laughed. "Oh, thank you."

"Don't mention it." Dong Xuebing replied and continued to stroke her legs. After a while, he took off her heels and massaged her feet.

One minute….

Two minutes….

Three minutes….

Xie Huilan opens her eyes. "That's enough."

"Mosquitos keep buzzing around your legs. I will wipe them away." Dong Xuebing doesn't want to release her feet.

"I can only see you buzzing around my legs. I think I should swat you away. Haha…."

Dong Xuebing released her feet unwillingly. "Oh, let's go for a swim." He points to the pool.

Xie Huilan looks at her watch. "It's so late and dark now."

"What's there to be afraid of? Wait for me." Dong Xuebing ran into the house and found the switches for the lights. He switched on all of them.

Suddenly, the backyard is as bright as day.

Dong Xuebing also went to his room and took out two swimsuits to the backyard. "I have prepared swimsuits too."

Xie Huilan laughed and looked at him. "You had planned this."

Dong Xuebing cleared his throat. "That doesn't matter."

Xie Huilan stood up and took the swimsuit from him. "Alright. I shall accompany you today."

Dong Xuebing is overjoyed and starts unbuttoning his shirt.

Xie Huilan looks at him and enters the mansion gracefully. She returns after Dong Xuebing changes and enters the pool. She looks at Dong Xuebing and points to herself. "Are you trying to embarrass me?"

Yes. Dong Xuebing had bought a bikini for Xie Huilan.

It's a 'simple' black bikini.

Xie Huilan is too sexy in a bikini. Her slim body is exposed, and only the 'important' areas are covered.

Dong Xuebing's heart is pumping very fast.

Xie Huilan walked over and sat by the pool. She touched the water with her feet. "The water is cold."

"It's just right. You will be fine after swimming for a while."

"Huuuu……" Xie Huilan exhaled as she entered the water.

Splash…… Dong Xuebing swam towards Xie Huilan and saw her rubbing her legs with her hands to warm up. He hugged her from behind and started rubbing her calves. After a while, his hands started roaming, and he squeezed her butt.

Xie Huilan smiled and did not say anything.

Dong Xuebing got bolder as she did not reject him. He squeezed her butt again, and his other hand went to her top. He slowly slid his hand under her bikini top……

Ah…… it's so big……

Before Dong Xuebing could do anything else, he lost his balance and fell backward. Xie Huilan laughed and started swimming away from him gracefully.

Dong Xuebing is mad. "How dare you push me?"

"Haha…… how many times have I told you? I will let you do what you want when we get married next year. It's too early now, little brat."

"Don't you dare to run away." Dong Xuebing chased after her.

Xie Huilan laughed and waved at him. "If you can catch me, I will stay here tonight."

Dong Xuebing brightens up. "You said this yourself."

"Yes. Haha…. It's all up to you now."

"If I can't get you in this small pool, I might as well kill myself."

Dong Xuebing cornered Xie Huilan in the corner of the pool within thirty seconds and hugged her by her waist.

Xie Huilan smiled. "Alright. I surrender."

Chapter 618: Sleeping with Sister Xie

It is a starry night.

Xie Huilan is taking a shower in a bathroom of a bedroom on the third floor. The bathroom's walls use full-height frosted glass. Dong Xuebing, who is sitting on the bed, can see the silhouette of a slim woman behind the glass.

She's so seductive.

Sister Xie is too skinny.

Dong Xuebing is blushing, and his heart is racing. Although he knows it is impossible to sleep with Xie Huilan before their marriage, he still gets under the covers to wait for her.

Ring… ring… ring…. A phone rang.

The ringtone is from Sister Xie's handbag.

Sister Xie is a County Mayor, and Dong Xuebing knows she cannot miss any phone calls. Unwillingly, he got off the bed and took out Xie Huilan's phone from her handbag. It is an unknown number, and it seems to be calling from Hebei Province. He walked over to the bathroom and knocked on the door.

"Sister Xie…. Sister Xie…." Dong Xuebing shouted.

The water stopped. "Hehe… What is it?"

"Your phone is ringing. Open the door." Dong Xuebing waved the phone.

"I think it is my mother who is calling. Help me answer and tell her I am not going back tonight."

"It's not Auntie Han. It is an unknown number which is not saved in your phone."

The woman's silhouette got closer to the door, and she opened it. A gust of sweet-smelling shampoo and body foam fragrance gush out together with some water vapor.

A hand sticks out. "Pass me my phone. Thank you."

Dong Xuebing blushed. Although Xie Huilan did not open the door wide, she is naked behind the door. Her other hand is sweeping her hair back as if she is walking down the streets. He always wanted to touch her, and he touched her several times when they were swimming. But when she is naked in front of him, he doesn't dare to look at her or make any moves. He quickly passes her phone.

Xie Huilan smiles and closes the door.

"Hello? Chief Huang? Oh…. What is it? Yes…. I am not in the County. How about another day?"

Dong Xuebing did not listen to Xie Huilan's conversation and returned to the queen-size bed. He lit a cigarette and admired the silhouette behind the frosted glass. It's blurry, but he can see the outline of her body.

Five minutes….

Ten minutes….

Twenty minutes….

The bathroom door opens. "Xiao Bing, can you help me to dry my hair?"

Dong Xuebing is speechless. I have been waiting under the covers for so long, and you want me to dry your hair? "The hairdryer is over there. Why do you still need me to help you?"

"You had dried my hair previously, and I like it. Hehe…"

Dong Xuebing got off the bed again. "Alright… alright…. You are always ordering me around."

"If you are tired, then forget it."

"I did not say that. Sigh…. I think I am going to get married to an Empress." Dong Xuebing grumbled jokingly. He switched on the ventilator to clear the misty bathroom and was about to help Xie Huilan comb her hair. "Ah… why are you not wearing your pants?" He got shocked.

"I am going to sleep. Why should I wear back my pants?"

"But you should still put on something."

"There is no one else at home. Haha…"

Xie Huilan is only wearing dark green underwear with rose prints on it with her white blouse. Most of her legs are exposed.

Dong Xuebing tried his best to take his eyes off her legs. "Oh, who called just now?"

"Huang Shizhong." Xie Huilan stroked her wet hair.

"Huang Shizhong? Oh…. It's the new County Ministry of Education's Chief."

Xie Huilan smiled and nodded. "They are at my apartment and want to visit me with his wife."

"Oh, is he trying to join your faction?"

"No. He visited Xiang Daofa yesterday."

"He is not sincere since he visited Xiang Daofa first. Just ignore him."

"Haha…. It will be chaos if everyone is like you."

Dong Xuebing continued to comb and dry Xie Huilan's hair with the hairdryer. She closed her eyes to enjoy this feeling.

They left the bathroom after ten minutes.

Xie Huilan yawned and looked tired. She got under the covers and glanced at Dong Xuebing.

Dong Xuebing blinked and also got into the bed shamelessly.

Xie Huilan is amused. "You think you can get into my bed because you had dried my hair?"

"I can't?"

"What do you think?"

"I think it's fine."

Xie Huilan shook her head and smiled. She took out a book about economics from her bag and started reading.

Are you trying to ignore me?"

Dong Xuebing's heart skipped a beat, and she knew she would not chase him out of the room. He adjusted the covers and laid down, using Xie Huilan's legs as pillows.

"I will sleep first."

Xie Huilan did not reply and continued to read her book.

No rejection. This means Xie Huilan is allowing Dong Xuebing to sleep with her. This is the first time Dong Xuebing is sleeping on the same bed. He is very excited.

After a while, Dong Xuebing felt a hand in his hair, massaging his scalp gently.

Slowly, Dong Xuebing drifted to sleep.

Chapter 619: Shocking video clip on the internet

Next day.

Monday morning.

The sun is up and is shining through the windows onto the bed. Ring… ring… Dong Xuebing woke and grabbed his phone.

"Hello, who is it?"

"Director, it's me, Zhou Yanru. Sorry to wake you up."

"It's fine. I was about to get up too. Are you all still at the hotel?"

"No. Yuling and I had returned to Nanshan District last night."

"Oh…." Dong Xuebing opens his eyes. "Did something happen in the district?"

"Secretary Wang was admitted to the hospital for acute appendicitis, and Yuling is worried for her uncle. That's why she rushed back last night. I am worried for her safety and followed along."

Dong Xuebing frowned. "Why didn't you call me?"

Zhou Yanru quickly explained. "I called you around 10 pm last night to inform you. But a lady answered and said, you are sleeping. That's why I…." Zhou Yanru knows Dong Xuebing is not married but doesn't know if he has a girlfriend. The woman who answered sounds mature, and she doesn't know if she is his girlfriend, sister, or relatives.

A lady answered the call?

It must be Xie Huilan.

Dong Xuebing sat up. "Oh, I went to bed early last night as I was too tired. I should have sent you all back last night. Is Secretary Wang alright?"

"He is fine now. It is not very serious."

"Did he undergo any operation?"

"Not yet."

"That's good. Alright. Let's talk after I get back in the afternoon. Is everything fine in the Subdistrict Office?"

"Everything is fine. But some documents are waiting for your approval."

After hanging up, Dong Xuebing scratched his head. Last night, he was in a deep sleep and did not hear his phone. But since Zhou Yanru and Wang Yuling had returned, he does not need to rush back. He looked around and did not see Xie Huilan. There is a set of breakfast on the bedside table and a note. 'I did not wake you because you are sleeping soundly. Haha… I had returned to the County. Reheat the breakfast before you eat. Oh, someone called you last night. You can check your phone. That's all.'

Dong Xuebing felt blissful as he read the note and looked at the breakfast. He felt they had already gotten married.

Sister Xie is also virtuous. She knows how to prepare breakfast for me.

Dong Xuebing quickly send out an SMS. 'Have you reach?'

One minute later, Dong Xuebing's phone beeped. Xie Huilan replied. 'Still on the road.'

Dong Xuebing smiles. 'Drive safely. You don't need to reply.'

After washing up and eating breakfast, Dong Xuebing grabbed his newly bought laptop to the balcony on the third floor. He sat under the parasol to have his tea and surf the internet.

One minute….

Five minutes….

Ten minutes….

It's around 9 am, and it's still early. Dong Xuebing can enjoy a relaxing morning in the mansion. But when he was about to play some games on his laptop, his phone rang.

It's Yu Qianqian's number.

Dong Xuebing smiled and answered. "Hello, Qianqian."

"Uncle…." Yu Qianqian's voice is hoarse. "I…. I…."

"What happened?"

"No…. nothing. I miss you."

Dong Xuebing smiles. "I also miss you. Where are you now?"

"I am in school."

"Eh? Isn't it the school holidays now?"

"We need to return to school today to take our graduation photo and collect our result slips."

"I heard from your mother that you had good grades. You are our little genius. When school reopens, I will transfer you to a school in the City, and I will get you a gift." Dong Xuebing had slept with Sister Yu dozens of times, and he sees Qianqian as his daughter.

"Thank… Thank you, Uncle."

"Are you alright?" Dong Xuebing asked. "How come you sound like you had cried?"

"No…."

"Is it because your grades are not up to your expectations?"

"No…. My grades are good. I am fine…. I will hang up now."

"Ok. Remember to call me if anything happens."

"I know. Bye."

"Bye."

After hanging up, Dong Xuebing noticed he had lost the game and was kicked out by other players. He did not continue playing games and called Yu Meixia.

"Hello, Xiao Bing."

"It's me. What's wrong with Qianqian?"

Yu Meixia asked puzzledly. "Qianqian had gone to school today. Why are you asking?"

Dong Xuebing replied. "She called me earlier but did not mention anything. Are you all fine?"

"We are fine. Maybe she misses you."

"Are you sure?"

"We are fine. Nothing had happened."

"Ok."

Dong Xuebing did not continue and hung up after chatting for a while. Sister Yu and Qianqian are soft and like to keep things to themselves. That's why Dong Xuebing is always worrying about them. Yu Meixia is not good at lying, and he knows everything should be fine from her tone.

Dong Xuebing looked at his watch and surfed the net to pass the time.

More than one hour passed.

Suddenly, Dong Xuebing noticed a web post with the header, 'Look! This is how students behave in schools." He clicked on it, and there's a link to a video.

Dong Xuebing clicked play, and the video started with an advertisement.

15 seconds….

10 seconds….

5 seconds….

Half an hour ago, this post was posted, but the views are moving up quickly.

The video started playing after the advertisement.

"Huang Tingting, I am going to start recording."

"Don't point the camera at me after you started."

"Hehe…. I know…."

The camera showed the back of a few boys and girls in school uniforms. They are in a sports equipment room. The side stacks up basketballs, footballs, and exercise mats. Dong Xuebing is surprised because the uniform seems familiar.

The camera is shaky. It should be recorded from a mobile phone.

A few students are surrounding a girl in the same uniform. She is crying while holding her head in a squatting position.

"You are in Year Three?"

"Haha… all you know is cry. Such a disgrace."

"Get her to kneel and crawl around." The one talking is that female student Wang Tingting. "Hey, did you hear me? Kneel!"

Two other boys and a girl laughed. "Kneel! Kneel!"

"Didn't you hear what Tingting said? Hurry up and crawl!"

The girl on the floor cried. "Sob…. No…."

Dong Xuebing got shocked when he heard the girl's voice. Although the video is unclear and the girl lowers her head, he recognizes her voice and body. These boys and girls are bullying Yu Qianqian!

This video was recorded in Yan Tai County First Middle School.

It's Qianqian's school.

Dong Xuebing stood up immediately in shock. He could not believe what he saw.

The video has not ended.

Huang Tingting pointed at Yu Qianqian and scolded her. "Bitch! Why didn't you apologize to me when you knocked into me along the corridor? You are asking for it!"

Yu Qianqian wiped her tears. "I…. I had apologized. I really did."

"I didn't hear it."

"I'm sorry. Sob…"

"It's too late now." Huang Tingting grabbed Yu Qianqian's hair and pulled her head between her legs. "Are you going to crawl or not?"

"No." Yu Qianqian's face is covered in tears.

Huang Tingting's eyes turned cold. Slap! "Bitch!"

Yu Qianqian's face had turned red from crying, and a handprint appeared on her face.

"You are asking for this." Huang Tingting said and gave Yu Qianqian another slap. "Kneel down and apologize to me!"

Yu Qianqian covered her face and cried louder.

Huang Tingting shouted angrily. "Lei Zi! What are you waiting for?"

That boy, called Lei Zi, stepped forward with a smile and stomped on Yu Qianqian's stomach.

Yu Qianqian fell onto the floor. She was still crying and started vomiting from that kick.

"Xiao Fan!" Huang Tingting went over and grabbed Yu Qianqian's hair again. "Hurry up!"

Another boy laughed and picked up a basketball. He aimed and threw it hard at Yu Qianqian's face.

"Hahaha……"

"I am asking you again. Are you going to kneel or not?"

Yu Qianqian plead. "Please… stop hitting me…."

The other girl, who did not hit Yu Qianqian, said. "Tingting, it's enough. The teachers might notice if she got more injuries."

The video ended.

But Dong Xuebing's eyes are burning with rage. He threw his laptop aside and went downstairs to his car.

You all are dead!

Chapter 620: The God of Plague has returned

Late morning. Yan Tai County.

The sky is overcast.

Dong Xuebing has returned. He did not expect to return to Yan Tai County in such a bad mood. He unleashed his black Porsche's full performance and reached Yan Tai County slightly more than one hour. His lungs are about to explode from anger when he remembers what he saw in the video. He had heard of bullying incidents in schools, but he did not expect it to happen on Yu Qianqian.

You all dare to slap my Qianqian?!

Throw a basketball on her face?!

You all want her to kneel and crawl like a dog?!

Dong Xuebing's eyes had turned cold. When he was about to reach the school, he took out his phone to call Qianqian.

Ring… ring…. The call got through.

"Hello, Uncle."

"Where are you now?"

"I… I am in school. We are going to take our graduation photo."

"Wait for me at your school gates! I am reaching soon."

"Uncle… why… why are you here?"

"Don't care about the graduation photos. Wait for me at the gates now."

Dong Xuebing hung up and made a turn. He even ran past two red lights. In Yan Tai County, no one dares to issue fines for this car.

Five minutes later.

County First Middle School.

Dong Xuebing ignored the guards and drove into the school. The guards were about to scold him, but they stopped when they saw the registration plate number. They know this driver is someone they cannot afford to offend. They pretended not to see anything and returned to the guardhouse. They recorded Dong Xuebing's numberplate in their entry and exit records and added "parent of a student at the back.

A petite figure walks out of a school building slowly.

It's Yu Qianqian.

Yu Qianqian walked slowly and quickly covered her face when she saw Dong Xuebing. She bit her lips and wanted to turn back.

Dong Xuebing alighted and walked over to her.

Yu Qianqian stood there and dared not move. She greeted Dong Xuebing in a hoarse voice. "Uncle."

Dong Xuebing felt his heart aching. "Put down your hand and show me."

"No…." Yu Qianqian quickly covers her face with both hands.

"Show me." Dong Xuebing kneels in front of her.

Yu Qianqian's eyes turned red, and her tears started flowing. "I…. I… had a fall and hit my face.

Yu Qianqian slowly removes her hand. Her left face is still red, but the handprints had faded. But her right side had swelled. There's a big handprint on her cheek and some bruises on the corner of her lips. Other than slaps, she was punched. Her school uniform is covered with dust, and Dong Xuebing can see a shoeprint on it.

These bastards!

"Where are they now?!" Dong Xuebing's eyes had become bloodshot. "Tell me!"

Yu Qianqian panics and cries. "No…. Sob…. I… I fell myself."

Dong Xuebing raised his voice. "How can you get these injuries from a fall? They had recorded everything and posted the video on the internet. Stop trying to lie."

Yu Qianqian looks at Dong Xuebing in a daze and suddenly bursts out in tears. "Sob…. Uncle…. Sob…."

Dong Xuebing hugged Yu Qianqian tightly. "It's alright now. I am here with you."

"Sob…. They… hit me."

"Why did they hit you?" Dong Xuebing suppressed his anger. "Which class are they from?"

Yu Qianqian is scared and hugs Dong Xuebing tightly with her trembling body. "It's… Huang Tingting from Year 2 class 1… Sob… They have additional classes this week, and I came back this morning to get my results this morning. I knocked into her this morning along the corridor… Sob… Huang Tingting is a new transfer student and has been bullying others in the school. I knew about this and immediately apologized to her. But…. She and a few others dragged me into the sports equipment storage room and hit me…."

"Just because of a knock?!" Dong Xuebing took a deep breath. "This is too much!"

Yu Qianqian cried. "Sob…. They slapped me, threw a basketball at me, kicked and grabbed my hair…. Sob… sob…. They tried to force me to kneel and crawl around…. I refused, and they continue to hit me…."

Dong Xuebing is looking terrible. "Did you kneel?"

"No… but… but they didn't let me off. Sob… sob…. They asked me to bark like a dog."

Dong Xuebing's face turns pale from his anger. How dare they ask my Qianqian to bark like a dog?!

Yu Qianqian cried louder. "I… I am afraid they will continue to hit me… Sob…. Sob…. So, I barked. They laughed at me and continued to hit me. They threatened me not to tell my parents or teachers, or they would go to my house to beat me. Sob… sob… I am scared to tell you and the teachers."

"Don't be scared." Dong Xuebing hugged her and stroked her hair. "It's my fault for not noticing this earlier."

Yu Qianqian replied. "It's not your fault. Sob…. Sob…. They are too evil."

"You don't need to be scared now. I will help you get back at them!" Dong Xuebing held Yu Qianqian's hand and walked towards the school building. "Let's go. I will show you how I deal with them!"

"That… That Huang Tingting's father is the Ministry of Education Chief. Everyone is scared of her." Yu Qianqian said.

Ministry of Education Chief?!

The newly appointed Huang Shizhong?!

Dong Xuebing narrowed his eyes. No wonder this newly transferred student dares to bully others in the school.

She is fearless because of her father.

Dong Xuebing continues forward. "Bring me to those students. I don't care if her father is the County's Ministry of Education Chief or the Central Government Ministry of Education. I will not let anyone who bullies you off lightly!"

Chapter 621: Help!

Before noon.

County First Middle School.

Dong Xuebing pulled Yu Qianqian into the school building.

A math teacher walked past them and noticed something was wrong. He frowned and turned to look at Dong Xuebing. Dong Xuebing's mother had taught in this school previously, but he had never visited his mother at the school. At most, he had waited for his mother outside the school. That's why no one recognizes him.

Stairwell.

Dong Xuebing asked. "Year 2 class 1 is on which floor?"

"It is on the second floor." Yu Qianqian's eyes had swelled from crying, and she held onto Dong Xuebing's hands tightly. "They still have lessons."

Lessons?!

Go to hell with your lessons!

"Let's go." Dong Xuebing walks up the stairs.

Yu Qianqian followed Dong Xuebing closely. She is still afraid.

Second floor.

Year 2 Class 1.

A man in his mid-thirties is standing in front of the class with a book in hand. He is the class teacher of this class. "All of you will be in Year 3 next semester and will be sitting for the High School Entrance Examination next year. The classes we had over the past few days prepared you all for that examination. You all must listen attentively. Alright. I shall continue to talk about the Tang and Song Dynasty."

The teacher continued with his lesson. Most of the students are listening attentively, except for a few. Huang Tingting and her friends.

"Lei Zhi, what are you all doing?" Huang Tingting asked.

"We are watching a video clip. The one we took when we beat up that girl." Lei Zhi laughed.

Xiao Fan interrupted. "I had posted that video online and gotten lots of views."

"How did you post it?" Huang Tingting asked excitedly. "Show me… quick."

Xiao Fan replied. "I went to the teacher's office to tell them you need to check for some information online, and they let me use the PC."

Huang Tingting asked. "Why didn't you delete the part where you called my name?"

"Huh? I forgot. I don't think it's a problem."

"That's right. Many people are also called Tingting." Huang Tingting thought nothing about it and laughed. "Anyway, we did not show our faces, and the video is not very clear."

"See… look at how Yu Qianqian cries."

"Hahaha… this is so funny. Let's teach her a lesson again."

"That bitch is graduating soon. How about we call her over during noon?" Huang Tingting said. "We shall see who can hit her face with a basketball the most." Yu Qianqian is prettier than her, and she is jealous.

"Ok!"

"How about we strip her and then hit her with basketballs? It should be fun!"

"That's right." Huang Tingting laughed. "We will record and post the video on the internet. I want to know how she will face others in the future. Hahaha…."

They are talking softly, but other students, including the teacher, can hear them. But they are used to it. Since Huang Tingting was transferred to the school, she mixed around with hooligans like Lei Zhi and Xiao Fan. They go around and bully other students. Most students dared not say anything, and a few students complained to the teachers. But the teachers did not take any action against them.

The teacher pretended not to hear Huang Tingting and continued with his lesson.

Everyone in the school knows Huang Tingting's father is Yan Tai County's newly appointed Ministry of Education Chief. The Ministry of Education oversees the schools and oversees the teachers. That's why Huang Tingting enjoys special privileges in school.

"Remember to take notes." The teacher wrote on the board. As long as Huang Tingting and her friends had not gone overboard, he will not reprimand them.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang. The classroom door was pushed open from outside.

It seems to be kicked open. Everyone in the class got a fright from the loud bang.

Dong Xuebing held Yu Qianqian with his right hand and stepped into the classroom. "Who is it? Point them out for me!"

Yu Qianqian looks around the classroom nervously and quickly lowers her head. She mustered her courage and lifted her head slowly. She pointed at Huang Tingting, Lei Zhi, and Xiao Fan, sitting in the middle row. "It's the three of them."

The teacher frowned. "We have classes. What are you all doing?!"

Dong Xuebing looks at the teacher coldly. "Go to hell with your lessons! Your students beat up my child, and you still want to carry on with your lesson?!"

"What is wrong with you?! Ah?! Why are you shouting?" The teacher gave Dong Xuebing a stare. "You are in a school!"

Dong Xuebing laughed. "School? You still know this is a school!? I sent my child to school is to learn and not send her here to be beaten up. Are you the teacher for this class? How did you teach them?! Your students had been bullying my child, and you pretend not to see anything?! Huh?!"

Dong Xuebing had started scolding the moment he stepped into the class. All the students were shocked.

The class teacher had met many unreasonable parents, and Yu Qianqian had pointed Huang Shizhong's daughter as one of the people who hit him. He had no choice but to intervene. He pointed at Dong Xuebing and shouted. "This is not the place for you to create trouble. Get out now!"

Your students had beaten up Qianqian, and you want to kick us out of the classroom?!

F*ck you!

Dong Xuebing is fearless when he loses his temper. He raised his leg and kicked the teacher in his stomach. The teacher flew backward from the impact and hit the wood podium, smashing it into pieces.

"Arrrgh…."

"……."

"Help! Help!"

The classroom is in chaos.

Lei Zhi, Xiao Fan, and Huang Tingting were also stunned. Who is this person?

Yu Qianqian is also stunned. She did not expect Dong Xuebing to hit the teacher.

The teacher groaned and pointed at Dong Xuebing. "How dare you hit me?"

Before the teacher can finish, Dong Xuebing steps forward and kicks him again. "Yes! You are the one I am hitting!"

The teacher was scared as he groaned in pain. Out of all the unreasonable parents he met, Dong Xuebing is the most extreme.

Dong Xuebing felt it was the class teacher's responsibility to teach the students. It is impossible for him not to know what Huang Tingting and her friends did in school. But he did not take action, and this made her more fearless. He has to be held responsible for her actions. You want to suck up to the County's Ministry of Education Chief's daughter using Qianqian?! Go to hell!

"Uncle!" Yu Qianqian panicked and was about to cry again.

Dong Xuebing patted Yu Qianqian's head. "It's alright. Don't be scared. No one can bully you with me around!"

Yu Qianqian was touched and calmed down. She is no longer as scared as before.

The class teacher was beaten up, and all the students quickly retreated to the side of the classroom.

Only Huang Tingting and her friends remain seated. She looks at Yu Qianqian and smiles. "Oh, you had asked your family to come… that's so smart of you."

Yu Qianqian lowered her head and bit her lips.

Dong Xuebing looks at Huang Tingting. "Are you the one who hit her?"

Huang Tingting is not afraid. "It's me. What do you want?"

Dong Xuebing nodded and walked towards her.

Huang Tingting looked at Dong Xuebing and threatened. "Do you believe that no schools in Yan Tai County will accept her if you touch me?!"

Before Huang Tingting could finish, Dong Xuebing grabbed her by her hair and pulled her up from her seat.

Huang Tingting was shocked. "What are you trying to do? Let go of me!"

Dong Xuebing raised his hand. Slap!

"Ah!" Huang Tingting could not believe this was happening.

Dong Xuebing looked at her and asked. "Did you slap Qianqian this way? How many times did you slap her?"

Huang Tingting cursed. "F*ck you."

Slap! Dong Xuebing slapped the other side of her face. "If Huang Shizhong doesn't know how to teach his children, I will do it for him."

Huang Tingting fell to the floor, and her tears were flowing. "You…. You know who my father is?"

"Who cares who your father is!" Dong Xuebing replied. "Even if your father is Liang Chengpeng, I will also beat you up!"

Who is Liang Chengpeng? Other students might not know him, but the class teacher, who is still lying on the floor, knows. He is Yan Tai County's Public Security Bureau Chief.

The class teacher, Li, felt his heart turns cold.

This person is not a nobody.

Report chapter Comments

Chapter 622: How does it feel?

The classroom is in a mess.

The class teacher was beaten up and struggled to get back on his feet. Huang Tingting was slapped twice and fell on the floor. She is staring at Dong Xuebing and Yu Qianqian with anger. She has been bullying others and has never been bullied like this since young.

"You two better watch out!" Huang Tingting shouted angrily.

"Shut up!" Dong Xuebing glanced at her. "I am waiting."

Huang Tingting continues shouting. "My father will not let you two off! You are dead!"

Dong Xuebing looks at Huang Tingting. "Oh, I still want to settle this score with Huang Shizhong! I want to know how did he teach his daughter."

"Tingting." Lei Zhi rushed over to help Huang Tingting up.

The teacher saw Huang Tingting's face had turned red from the slaps and knew he was in trouble. The daughter of the County's Ministry of Education Chief was beaten up in school in front of him. His face turns pale. He knows Dong Xuebing should be someone backing from what he said earlier, but this is not the time to care about that. Ministry of Education Chief Huang Shizhong is his direct superior and has power over all teachers' promotion in the County. How is he going to face Chief Huang if anything happens to Huang Tingting? Furthermore, this young man is in his mid-twenties. No matter how capable he is, he can never win against Huang Shizhong.

The teacher quickly got up as he feared Dong Xuebing would hit Huang Tingting again. He cannot allow Huang Shizhong's daughter to hit again. "Hurry up and get help! Go over and protect Huang Tingting.

The other students did not move and stood there watching.

The teacher took a few steps forward and shouted angrily. "Someone get the security!"

The school holidays started, and only a few classes had additional lessons, other than the graduating classes' results. That's why not many people heard the commotion, and the students got to go downstairs to get help.

The other students looked at each other and did not move. Dong Xuebing is standing near the door, and none of them dares to go near him. Another reason, which is the main reason, is they are the top students within their cohort. Huang Tingting managed to enter this class because of his father after being transferred to this school. She also bullies her classmates frequently with Lei Zhi and Xiao Fan. All of them are angry with her, but no one dares to retaliate. Now, they feel good when they see Huang Tingting getting slapped. They will not help her or call for security.

She deserves it.

Someone should have taught her a lesson a long time ago.

Dong Xuebing was pissed when he heard what the teacher shouted. He turns to the teacher. "Protect her?! You are such a good class teacher, and I want to ask you questions. Where are you when Huang Tingting and her friends bully Qianqian? Ah? Where are you when they bully the other students in your class?! Who did you protect?! Just because she is Huang Shizhong's daughter and she gets special privileges?! She can bully others, and no one can touch her?! F*ck!"

The class teacher was about to retort.

"Swoosh!" Dong Xuebing gave the teacher another kick.

The teacher was sent flying again.

Dong Xuebing points at the teacher. "We have so many bullying incidents because of teachers like you. If you all had taken actions to punish or expel the bullies, all these incidents would be stopped. All you think about is your personal interest. This is why so many students don't dare report bullying incidents to teachers. You all can't be bothered to discipline the bullies and will only give them a verbal warning at most. This resulted in them continuing to bully others. How can you be a teacher with such character?! If you don't have this responsibility, you should pack up and leave. A school is to educate the students, and the students are not tools for you to sacrifice to suck up to your superiors. This is not the way you treat your students!"

The other students agree with Dong Xuebing. If the school and teachers punished the bullies for every incident, all these would be stopped.

Suddenly, Yu Qianqian shouted. "Be careful!"

Lei Zhi had grabbed a chair behind Dong Xuebing to attack him. "I will f*cking kill you!"

Dong Xuebing is unfazed by this sneak attack. He turned around and grabbed one of the chair's legs. He twisted the chair out from Lei Zhi's hands and swung it against him. "Crash!" the chair broke into pieces, and Lei Zhi slammed onto the concrete floor.

Dong Xuebing bent down and grabbed Lei Zhi by his hair. "You little bastard. I still have not found you, and you are so eager to come to me. Tell me, how did you hit Qianqian."

Lei Zhi is scared. He knows he is no match for Dong Xuebing and could not do anything.

Xiao Fan started retreating. They only dare to bully the weak and chicken out when they meet someone more unreasonable than them.

"You refuse to say anything?!" Dong Xuebing looks at Lei Zhi coldly. "The shoeprint on Qianqian's stomach is yours?! How dare you kick a girl in her stomach and ask her to kneel and bark like a dog?!"

Dong Xuebing got angrier as he spoke and smashed Lei Zhi's face against a table beside him.

"Argh…." Lei Zhi shouted in pain, and blood started flowing out from his nose.

Dong Xuebing shouted. "Who did you ask to kneel?! Ah?! Who did you ask to bark like a dog?! Ah?! Say it again!"

Lei Zhi is crying. "I am still underage. You…."

"Underage?" Dong Xuebing looks at him. "Do you think you kick a girl and ask her to kneel in front of you all just because you are underage? Ah? I don't believe you know about morals and the differences between right and wrong. Don't use underage as an excuse for what you did. You are not a kindergarten kid who doesn't know what he is doing. You knew the differences between right and wrong, but you still hit Qianqian. This is because you know the school and parents will not do anything to you. If no one is willing to teach you all, I will!"

Dong Xuebing released his grip on Lei Zhi's hair and threw him on the floor. He stood up and looked at Xiao Fan. "You…."

Xiao Fan was shocked nervously. "Don't come near me!"

"Is it fun to bully a little girl? Are you satisfied and happy?" Dong Xuebing stares at Xiao Fan. "Then I should also bully you to make myself happy."

"F*ck!" Xiao Fan knew he could not escape and threw a pencil case from the table at Dong Xuebing.

Dong Xuebing casually raised his hand and grabbed the pencil case without blinking. He flicked his wrist and threw pencil case back.

Bam!

The pencil case hit Xiao Fan's face hard.

Xiao Fan shouted in pain as he covered his face.

Dong Xuebing continued. "Do you think you are great when you threw a basketball into Qianqian's face? I dare you to do it again!"

"Damn!" Xiao Fan went crazy. He grabbed a few stationary, like a ruler, fountain pen, ballpoint pen, etc., from the desk and threw them at Dong Xuebing.

"Uncle!" Yu Qianqian shouted anxiously.

Dong Xuebing smiles and lifts his hand lightly. He moved his hand slightly and caught that ruler between his thumb and index finger. He caught the fountain pen with his index and middle finger and the ballpoint pen with his middle and fourth fingers.

This move shocked everyone.

A pencil case is big, and it is easier to catch it. But metal rulers and pens are small, and it's not easy to catch them. Moreover, Dong Xuebing caught it between his fingers on one hand!

Dong Xuebing flicked his hand again and sent those stationary flying back to Xiao Fan.

Swoosh!

The ruler and fountain pen hit Xiao Fan's face. He shouted in pain and started bleeding from his nose.

Dong Xuebing paused for a second and asked. "Who was the one that recorded the video this morning?!"

A girl standing among the other students turned pale and burst out crying.

"It's you." Dong Xuebing extended his hand. "Where is your phone?"

The girl cried as she quickly took out her phone.

Dong Xuebing took the phone from her and smashed it on the floor, followed by a stomp. This Nokia phone was smashed into pieces.

After doing this, Dong Xuebing looks at them coldly. "You all finally got to taste how it is like to be bullied by others now. Does it feel good?"

Chapter 623: Police! It's him

Dong Xuebing's words linger in the Year 2 Class 1 classroom.

You all finally got to taste how it is like to be bullied by others now. Does it feel good?" No one will like being bullied.

But Huang Tingting is used to being arrogant in school and has not learned her lesson. She pointed at Dong Xuebing and shouted. "Don't you dare to run!" She turns to a female classmate. "Give me your phone." That girl was bullied previously and quickly passed her phone to her. She dialed her father's number immediately. "Dad! Come over quickly. I was beaten up in school."

Huang Tingting cried when she was on the phone with her father.

After hanging up, Huang Tingting wiped her tears and stared at Yu Qianqian. "Yu Qianqian! You are dead!"

Yu Qianqian was scared and moved closer to Dong Xuebing.

"Hmph! You still want to threaten Qianqian?!" Dong Xuebing held Qianqian's hand. "Alright. I want to see how we are going to die. Please show us."

"Don't you dare to run. Wait here!" Huang Tingting shouted.

Dong Xuebing laughed. "Sure. I will wait. Even if you don't call Huang Shizhong, I will also look for him."

The class teacher secretly took out his phone to call the police. "Hello, City Police Station? I am a teacher in County First Middle School. Someone had entered the school and is attacking others. Hurry up and send someone over."

Dong Xuebing saw the teacher making the phone call but did not stop him. After the teacher hung up, he looked at him. "Huang Tingting's parent is on his way here. Call that Lei Zhi and Xiao Fan's parents to come over too. Oh, get your school principal to come too. Damn! I had sent Qianqian to school is to study and not be a punching bag for others. If you all don't know how to teach children, you all should better shut down the school! How can this school be the County's top middle school if you all can't protect a child?"

The class teacher thought to himself. "You still want me to get the students' parents and principal? You had beaten up the Ministry of Education Chief's daughter, and the police will not let you off. The teacher hated Dong Xuebing to the core for beating him up in front of his students. Until now, his stomach is still twitching.

"Qianqian, let's go." Dong Xuebing pulled Qianqian.

Xiao Fan wiped the blood on his face and thought Dong Xuebing was trying to escape. "Where are you going? Don't try to escape."

Lei Zhi heard Huang Tingting's father and the police are on their way to the school, and he got bolder.

Dong Xuebing sneered. "I want to escape?! Why should I go when I am still not done with you all? I will not leave until this matter is settled. I will be waiting for your parents in the medical room." Failing to educate the child is the fault of the parents. He will not let these people off easily.

The medical room is at the end of the corridor.

The door is unlocked, and there's nobody inside.

Dong Xuebing and Yu Qianqian entered and closed the door behind him. He made Qianqian sit on a chair and look around for a first-aid box. He took out an alcohol wipe and started cleaning the wounds on her face. "Don't move."

Yu Qianqian nodded.

"Is it painful?" Dong Xuebing applied for medicine on her face gently. "Tell me if it hurts."

Yu Qianqian smiles sweetly. "It's not painful now. Thank you, Uncle."

Dong Xuebing felt guilty. "If I knew this would happen, I would have warned the school not to let anyone bully you before I go to Nan Shan District."

Yu Qianqian smiles and shakes her head. "You are the best."

"Haha… are you happy now?"

Yu Qianqian nodded and asked worryingly. "But… but the police…."

Dong Xuebing stopped her. "I will be fine even if the police are here. They can catch me if they want. I am not afraid of anyone."

Five minutes later.

County First Middle School. Two police cars sped into the school compound.

A student's family member attacking others in school is a big incident, and the City Police Station is very concerned. That's why they sent two police cars and five officers to handle this case.

The police cars stopped, and the officers alighted.

The class teacher rushed out of the school building. "Officers."

"Are you the one who called?" An officer, Qian Dong, asked. "Where is that guy?"

The teacher pointed upstairs angrily. "He is in the medical room on the second floor."

Another officer asked curiously. "He is in the medical room and did not escape?"

The officers rushed into the school building, and the teacher said while running. "He did not escape and is in the medical room now. Officers, you all must arrest this criminal. He is too arrogant. How can he attack others in the school?"

Qian Dong looks at the teacher. "You are also injured?"

"Yes." The teacher replied. "Not only me, but three other students were also beaten up too."

"Did he attack others because his child is bullied?" Qian Dong asked.

The teacher paused for a second and replied. "He did say this, but I don't know if anyone had bullied his kid."

Qian Dong exchanged looks with the other officers, and they frowned. This person is too arrogant. He had come to the school and beat up a teacher and students, and he still dared to wait for the police in the school's medical room. It's been a while since they had met someone so arrogant. Before they reached the school, their leader informed them that one of the students beaten up was the County's Ministry of Education Chief Huang Shizhong's daughter. This made them speechless. Who is so daring to attack a County Government Leader's daughter?

The officers ran up the stairs.

Qian Dong is always careful and has his hand on his baton. "Be careful. Subdue him the moment we enter the room, and we will interrogate him at the station."

"Yes, Sir." The officers know this is a serious case involving Chief Huang's family member, and the station's higher-up had hinted to them to be more 'forceful' against the culprit.

"Go!"

The officers started moving.

Qian Dong and his men surrounded the medical room and confirmed the suspect's position through the small glass panel on the door.

The class teacher is hiding and waiting behind the officers.

But when the teacher thought the officers would kick open the door and rush in, he saw Qian Dong froze after he looked into the room.

The other officers were also frozen in place. Their hand on the door handle stopped moving.

Qian Dong turned to the teacher nervously. "Are you sure the person inside is the one who attacked you?"

The teacher looks into the room. "That's right. Officers hurry up and arrest him.

Qian Dong held his breath and almost fainted.

Arrest him?!

I will arrest you instead!

Chapter 624: Huang Shizhong VS Dong Xuebing

Before noon.

County First Middle School, second-floor Medical Room.

Qian Dong, the team leader of the officers from the County's City Police Station, is sweating. He quickly turns around and walks away from the medical room's window. His officers don't need his order and quickly hide behind the wall.

Qian Dong held his breath and asked softly. "Are my eyes playing tricks? Is it him?"

The officer beside him wiped the sweat on his forehead and replied. "I think so."

"It is him." Another officer interrupted. "I am sure it is him."

The officers stopped talking for a second and took a deep breath simultaneously. They felt they had not read the almanac before coming to work today. Why are they so unlucky to encounter this person?

The class teacher is puzzled. "Officers, hurry up and arrest him."

Qian Dong gave the teacher a stare. Is this teacher trying to get him killed?

Other people might not know Dong Xuebing, but all Police Officers in the County know him. He was formerly a Deputy Chief of the County's Public Security Bureau and is notorious for being the God of Plague.

Arrest him?

Are you trying to get us killed?

Who dares to arrest the God of Plague in Yan Tai County?

Qian Dong doesn't know what to do or handle this situation.

The class teacher was confused and said. "Officers, when he was beating up the students, he shouted. He would still beat up the student even if his father was Chief Liang. He has no respect for the law and the government." He instigated and wished for the Officers to beat Dong Xuebing before his arrest.

The Officers heard this and looked at the class teacher weirdly.

He dares to beat up Liang Chengpeng's children?!

Others might not dare say anything like this, but Dong Xuebing will definitely do it.

Qian Dong said in his heart. Dong Xuebing had even beaten and arrested a County Party Committee Member's relative in the past. In the end, nothing had happened to him. No one will bat an eyelid if he really beat up Liang Chengpeng's son, let alone Huang Shizhong's daughter. He has a record for doing outrageous things.

A younger officer whispered. "Brother Qian, it is not easy to handle this situation…. Ermm…. This is a serious case. Should we inform the station and ask someone from the Bureau to take over this case?"

Push this case to someone else? This is a great idea!

Qian Dong didn't want to get involved and nodded. He took out his phone and walked to the other end of the corridor."

"Hello, Chief Wan. I am Xiao Qian." Qian Dong said.

City Police Station Chief Wan Tao asked. "Is the person arrested?"

Qian Dong stuttered. "Err…. Not yet."

Wan Tao paused for a second. "Why is he not arrested yet?!"

"It's like this…." Qian Dong replied. "I…. We… the suspect is…. Chief Dong."

Wan Tao frowned. "Chief Dong? Which Chief Dong?"

Qian Dong lowered his voice. "Errr…. It's Dong Xuebing."

There was a loud crash on the other line. Qian Dong wonders if Chief Wan had fallen off his chair or dropped something.

Qian Dong asked. "Chief Wan, can we push this case to the Bureau?"

"We had accepted the case, and how are we going to pass it to the Bureau?" Wan Tao quickly reply. "You all handle it by yourselves. Try to reach for a private settlement. Even if you all can't make them settle this privately, you all must not bring him back to the station."

"Chief Wan, we…."

Du…. Du…. Du…. Chief Wan hung up.

Qian Dong is mad. What do you want me to do? How am I going to handle this case?

Qian Dong walked back to his officers and shook his head.

The officers are speechless.

The class teacher is not stupid. He knows the person inside is someone even the police don't dare to arrest. Who is this person?

Rapid footsteps approached from a distance.

County First Middle School and an angry Ministry of Education Chief walk towards them.

Huang Shizhong is in his forties, with a square face. He is furious as his only daughter, Huang Tingting, was beaten up in school. When she called him, he was stunned for a few seconds. She is his precious daughter and has spoilt her since young. How can she be beaten up in a school under his jurisdiction? How can he tolerate someone who barged into the classroom and slapped his daughter?

"How did you manage your school? How can you allow anyone to enter the premises like this?" Huang Shizhong shouted at the Principal. "How did he enter the school?"

The Principal cautiously replied. "It's our fault."

"This is ridiculous! How can the school allow anyone to enter?"

The Principal was not working today, but he rushed over immediately after hearing about this incident. He met Huang Shizhong at the entrance and entered the school with him. Yu Qianqian's family member had to take revenge on Huang Tingting, who had bullied her, which made him worried. Many teachers know Yu Qianqian had transferred to the school through connections. Still, only the Principal and some higher management staff know Dong Xuebing helped her get the transfer. That's why the Principal had a bad feeling when he heard about it.

Second floor.

"Chief Huang."

"Principal."

Huang Shizhong shouted. "Where is he?!"

The class teacher points to the medical room. "Inside."

"Why is he not arrested?" Huang Shizhong looks at the Officers. "What are you all waiting for?" He had called the City Police Station Chief before he left for the school, but why didn't the Officers take any actions? These Officers are still waiting outside.

Qian Dong and his Officers are troubled. Chief Wan had instructed them not to arrest anyone or bring the God of Plague near their station. "We just arrived and are about to enter."

"Then what are you all waiting for?" Huang Shizhong stepped forward and opened the door. "Who is the one who hit the students?"

Dong Xuebing is applying for medicine on Qianqian's arm, and he turns to the person who entered. "Me, and who are you?"

County First Middle School's Principal almost fell when he heard the voice and saw Dong Xuebing's face. Damn! Why is the God of Plagues back? Although the Principal had a bad feeling when he received the call, he regretted returning to school when he saw Dong Xuebing. That's right. Who else has the guts to beat up the Ministry of Education Chief's daughter other than the notorious God of Plague?

The class teacher saw the Principal's face change and got worried.

"Who am I?" Huang Shizhong shouted. "I am Huang Tingting's father!"

Yu Qianqian hid behind Dong Xuebing when she saw many people entering the room.

Dong Xuebing looks at Huang Shizhong from top to toe. "You are Huang Shizhong? You are finally here. How the hell did you teach your daughter?"

You hit my daughter, and you still dare to scold me?! Huang Shizhong could not hold back his anger. "You bastard! The police are here, and you still dare to scold others?!"

Dong Xuebing bangs on the table. "I am only shouting, and you are so angry. I dare you to scold me again!"

The Principal broke out in cold sweat when he saw Huang Shizhong and Dong Xuebing started scolding each other."

"Calm down…. Chief Huang, Chief Dong…. Director Dong…. Please calm down." The Principal tried to calm them.

"Leaders…" Qian Dong quickly added. "Please talk things out nicely."

The Officers exchanged looks and quickly moved closer to both. They are afraid both parties might exchange blows.

Huang Shizhong heard the Principal addressing Dong Xuebing as Director Dong and turned to him.

The Principal quickly explains softly. "Chief Huang, this person is Dong Xuebing, Director Dong, from Nan Shan Subdistrict. He is formerly our Yan Tai County Investment Promotion Agency Chief."

Huang Shizhong was posted to Yan Tai County not long ago and had never heard of Dong Xuebing. He sneered when he heard Dong Xuebing was transferred away. So what if you are a Subdistrict Director? You are no longer under Yan Tai County, and you are the one who hit my daughter. He is not afraid of someone who was transferred out.

Huang Shizhong might not know who Dong Xuebing is, but the class teacher knows.

The class teacher's legs almost gave way when he heard this name.

Dong Xuebing.

This person is Dong Xuebing!

Holy shit!

The class teacher turned pale and felt the world spinning. He wants to slap himself. He will never get involved if he knows this person is the infamous God of Plagues. Everyone in Yan Tai County knows about Chief Dong's revengeful nature and his aggressive ways of doing things.

The class teacher stood at the back and quickly sneaked out of the medical room. He cannot afford Dong Xuebing, but he can try his best to hide from him.
