Morning.
10 am.
Dong Xuebing sat in his office, looking at the photos.
Dong Xuebing had not notice Li Hong’s ass was big and round last night.
The office door opened suddenly, and Lui Dafa entered without knocking. Lui Dafa is no longer composed and is burning with rage. The photos were sent to him, and it is obvious someone is threatening and trying to embarrass him. Other than Dong Xuebing, who else will do such a thing? No one can take these photos easily from the angles. Dong Xuebing has the God of Plague, and weird things always happen around him. That’s why Lui Dafa is sure this is done by Dong Xuebing!
Dong Xuebing looks up with a straight face. “Old Lui, I can understand your feelings, but can you knock before you enter? This is basic manners.”
Lui Dafa kept quiet.
Bam! Dong Xuebing threw the photos on his desk. “What are these photos?! I want you to give me an explanation!”
Lui Dafa’s face is red with anger. Before he comes up to Dong Xuebing’s office, he had torn the photos into pieces.
Dong Xuebing stared at Lui Dafa and scolded. “Lui Dafa! Are you trying to create problems for me?! Ah?! You are a leader in the Agency and should be setting an example for the rest of the staff. This is the job of a leader! But look at you! Don’t tell me you didn’t notice your problems at home?! Now, these photos are sent to the Agency! How are you going to carry on with your duties?! You had disgraced the whole Agency! This is tarnishing our Agency’s reputation. Do you still have a collective spirit?!”
Lui Dafa finally spoke. “I don’t know anything about this!”
Dong Xuebing banged his desk. “Old Lui, I am scolding you for your own good. You better settle this as soon as possible, and don’t let this affect the morale of the staff!”
Lui Dafa replied angrily. “I know!”
“It’s not that I want to commend on this…” Dong Xuebing continued to add salt to Lui Dafa’s wound. “Your wife and brother are too much. But managing your family is also your responsibility. Old Lui, you must not overlook this. From what I know, these photos were only sent to our Agency. If all the County departments received these photos, even I could not handle this. The influence will be too big for me to cover it up.”
Lui Dafa’s brows twitched, and know Dong Xuebing is threatening him.
Dong Xuebing waved his hand. “Alright. That’s all I have to say. Go back to work.”
“… I would like to take a few days off work.” Lui Dafa is too embarrassed to continue working. On his way to Dong Xuebing’s office, he noticed the staff’s weird stares as they greeted him. They seemed to be mocking him. His wife is having an affair with his younger brother. Nothing is more disgraceful as this, and Lui Dafa suddenly had the urge to stabbing Li Hong and Lui Dacai to death! Now, taking time off from work is his way of admitting defeat and retreating.
Dong Xuebing nodded. “Ok. I approved it. Take some time to rest and settle your family problems.”
Lui Dafa walked out of Dong Xuebing’s office. He suddenly felt very tired and don’t feel like going against Dong Xuebing anymore.
Dong Xuebing had not to paste these photos along the streets because the impact will be too big on Lui Dafa and himself. Anyone will suspect this is done by him, and Dong Xuebing will leave a bad impression, making everyone stay far from him. Secondly, letting the whole Agency knows about this is enough to reduce Lui Dafa’s influence and tarnish his reputation. Dong Xuebing will have something against him. As long as Dong Xuebing has these photos in hand, he can keep Lui Dafa in place. But once these photos were exposed to the whole County, who knows what Lui Dafa will do.
That’s why keeping the photos is the best option.
Suppose Lui Dafa carries on to make things difficult for Dong Xuebing. In that case, Dong Xuebing will not mind exposing these photos to the whole County and let everyone know about Lui Dafa’s scandal.
Ring… ring… ring… Dong Xuebing’s phone rang.
Dong Xuebing saw it was Xie Huilan and answered with a smile. “Mayor Xie, what are your instructions?”
“Is it not convenient to talk?”
“Haha… No, I am afraid you are not convenient.”
Xie Huilan laughed. “I heard you used a few photos to deal with Lui Dafa and his wife.”
Dong Xuebing was stunned. “How did you receive this information so fast?”
“Although I am not in your Agency, I have been monitoring your side closely. Haha… You had done a good job.” Xie Huilan seldom praises Dong Xuebing like this. “I am looking forward to seeing those County Leaders’ expression. They had sent Lui Dafa and a few Police Officers to create problems for you, but in less than a day, the Officers were arrested, and Lui Dafa is disgraced by you. I think Lui Dafa will not dare to create any more problems now. This is a good move. You had given Lui Dafa a slap and gave a slap to those who wanted to deal with us. Hahaha…”
Dong Xuebing is overjoyed. “Are you impressed?”
“Very impressed. You are always full of surprises.”
After hanging up, Dong Xuebing laughed. He knows Sister Xie is trying to cheer him up. This political struggle might seem to be his win, but it’s not good enough to be considered a ‘Good job.’ Never mind. Who cares if it is a good job or not as long as he had achieved what he wanted!
The whole Agency is behaving weirdly this morning.
Lui Dafa’s family scandal had shocked everyone, and their impression of him had changed for the worse.
Pu Yang, Guo Junbao, and the other Offsite Office Directors quickly notice the changes. Office Director Luo Haiting, Deputy Office Director Dan Guoen, and the rest of the Department Heads suddenly realized Lui Dafa is no match for the newly appointed Chief Dong!
In one day, Chief Dong had won before Chief Lui can do anything.
The competition between both only lasted one round, and Chief Lui had lost too fast.
Before lunchtime, Dong Xuebing visited all the offices in the Agency.
“Chief Dong.”
“Chief.”
The staff quickly greeted Dong Xuebing, but they are still thinking about the photo incident in their hearts.
Dong Xuebing waved to them, asking them to go back to work. Luo Haiting heard the commotion outside of her office and quickly walks out to greet him. “Chief.”
Dong Xuebing smiled. “Carry on with your work. I am just walking around.”
Luo Haiting replied. “I am approving the reimbursement forms. This year, our Agency’s finances are very tight.”
Dong Xuebing also knows the Investment Promotion Agency is running low on funds. This is because their past results were too poor, and the County Government will not allocate more funds to the Agency. But the expenses for a department like the Investment Promotion Agency is very high. For example, the staff must dine and interact with prospective investors, transportation, etc. All these activities need money. The reimbursement for the amount below 1,000 RMB will be approved, and anything above 1,000 RMB needs to be verified. This is to prevent the staff from making false claims.
Dong Xuebing said. “Show me the forms.”
Luo Haiting paused for a second and passed a stack of receipts to Dong Xuebing.
Dong Xuebing flipped through the receipts, and the majority of them are for meals. “Ok. Our fund allocation is low, and you must verify the claims carefully. Director Luo, from today onwards, all the claims above 500 RMB must have my approval.”
Luo Haiting’s eyes brighten up. “Yes.”
The other staff in the Office were stunned. Claims above 500 RMB must get the approval from Dong Xuebing? This…
After Lui Dafa’s incident, this change or policy for staff’s reimbursement is Dong Xuebing’s second move today. Dong Xuebing continued with his rounds in the office and went to the cafeteria for lunch.
Chief Dong’s changes to the reimbursement policy are quickly disseminated to the rest of the departments. Everyone, especially those from the Business departments, was distressed. This means it will be heard for them to get reimbursements in the future.
Now, all the staff had to admit that Chief Dong is calling the shots in the Agency!
After Lui Dafa was embarrassed and left work early, Dong Xuebing’s influence had increased. Everyone becomes wary of him, and with his swift and ruthless actions, the Agency will have big changes. The various department heads suddenly realized those rumors about Dong Xuebing being young and inexperienced are all bullshit. With Lui Dafa setting an example, none of them dares to go against Dong Xuebing.
Afternoon.
Dong Xuebing’s office door was knocked on non-stop.
“Chief Dong, I am here to update you on my work progress.”
“Chief, I need your approval for this document. It is about the honey factory investment…”
“Chief, I will be returning to Beijing’s Offsite Office tomorrow, and what are you directions for this year?”
Many leaders went to look for Dong Xuebing in his office using work as an excuse. But all of them were actually pledging their allegiance. Dong Xuebing welcomed them and spoke to them with a smile. Almost all the number one and two men of the various departments had visited Dong Xuebing except for Deputy Chief Sun Shuli.
Dong Xuebing had made three major moves within two days after his appointment.
Now, Dong Xuebing had finally established his authority in the Agency and has it under control!
