The City Commission for Discipline Inspection building.
Words about the parking lot incident had spread, and everyone in Inspection First Office was watching closely.
“This is a show of strength between Director Dong and Director Liu.”
“How can it be a show of strength between them? Director Dong did not do anything.”
“Sigh…. Director Dong is too righteous. Maybe he is not used to dealing with such incidents.”
“Maybe Director Dong is generous and wanted to avoid conflicts with Director Liu.”
“That’s right. Director Dong had saved over a thousand people and was almost killed when buried under the rubble. Anyone who is scheming will never sacrifice himself for others.”
The staff was discussing the incident among themselves.
Dong Xuebing had guessed correctly. His glorious deeds during the earthquake had overshadowed his notoriety. Everyone thought he was a righteous and innocent person.
When Luo Haiting overheard everyone saying how generous and innocent Dong Xuebing was, she almost fell off her chair. She had worked with Dong Xuebing for a while and understood his character better than anyone else.
Second-floor corridor.
Dong Xuebing met Liu Hanqing along the corridor while walking back to his office. Liu Hanqing looked like he had just come out of his office. His office windows were opened, and it was facing the carpark directly. It was impossible for him not to hear Dong Xuebing’s horning.
Liu Hanqing pretended nothing had happened. He smiled at Dong Xuebing. “Oh, Director Dong. You are back from lunch?”
Dong Xuebing looked at him. “Director Liu, is that Toyota Crown downstairs yours?”
“Yes. What’s wrong?” Liu Hanqing asked.
Dong Xuebing smiled. “Nothing. I just want to remind you to park properly. You had occupied two lots today.”
Liu Hanqing replied. “Oh, did I block the other lot? I didn’t notice it. I will shift it now.”
“Never mind. Take note of it the next time.” Dong Xuebing appeared generous and showed no intentions of pursuing this matter.
Inspection First Office’s Zhu Zhu passed by and overheard their conversation. She was impressed with Dong Xuebing for being so forgiving.
Liu Hanqing sneered in his heart.
Director Office.
Dong Xuebing returned to his seat and called Luo Haiting to his office.
Luo Haiting said the moment she stepped in. “Xuebing, our Inspection First Office staff are discussing the earlier incident. The other offices were also….”
“I know.” Dong Xuebing replied. “I want to ask you something. You mentioned Liu Hanqing’s father was working in the bank. Is he working in the Provincial branch or the City ICBC bank?”
Luo Haiting replied without thinking. “He is the City’s ICBC bank’s credit department’s leader.”
Dong Xuebing nodded. “What is his name?”
“Ah…. I think it’s Liu Dong. Let me check and get back to you.”
Dong Xuebing nodded. “Ok. Let me know his name and position before the end of the day.”
Luo Haiting was speechless. She wanted those staff members to hear what Dong Xuebing said. Innocent and righteous?! Bullshit. He is asking about Liu Hanqing’s family members now. She knew he would target Liu Hanqing’s family members to get back at him. She started to pity Liu Hanqing. Ignorant people are not afraid of anything. Why did you provoke Dong Xuebing in the first place? If he could be bullied easily, he would have been dismissed many years ago. Didn’t you find out what he did in the past? You are shooting yourself in your foot.
Luo Haiting had confidence in Dong Xuebing and knew he would never give in. Most of his opponents did not have good endings.
Luo Haiting suddenly remembered something. “Oh, Xuebing. I heard a piece of news, but I am not sure of the reliability.”
Dong Xuebing looked at her. “What is it?”
Luo Haiting frowned. “I heard the Organization Department had wanted to promote Liu Hanqing to be Inspection First Office’s Director before you came. The latest information I heard was he would be transferred to another Inspection Office as the Director or another City’s Commission for Discipline Commission.”
Liu Hanqing is going to be promoted? Did he use his family’s connection to get it?
Dong Xuebing knew this information should be reliable. He immediately understood why Liu Hanqing dared to go against him. He is leaving this department and is not afraid of Dong Xuebing. He knew he could not do anything drastic as it would jeopardize his transfer, and he could only make small movements to gross Dong Xuebing.
Liu Hanqing…. You are too full of yourself.
Do you want to make me a fool before leaving?!
Dong Xuebing was amused. This was Liu Hanqing’s plan. It’s been a while since Dong Xuebing taught someone a lesson.
But how is Dong Xuebing going to teach him a lesson? He will come up with a plan.
Luo Haiting was relieved when she saw Dong Xuebing’s reaction. She knew Liu Hanqing was a nobody to him. She smiled and asked. “Xuebing, I saw it earlier. You had changed car.” Everyone thought Dong Xuebing’s car was borrowed, and only she did not think like this. He drove a Mercedes MPV when he was in the Investment Promotion Agency and drove a Porsche Cayenne when he was in the Subdistrict Office. All his cars were over one million RMB, and she knew he would never borrow someone else’s car to drive. She did not know where he got his money from, as the five million lottery winnings would not last so long from the way he spent his money.
Dong Xuebing laughed. “Yes. Porsche Panamera.”
Luo Haiting gasped. “I know it’s expensive from the name.”
“It’s not.” Dong Xuebing pointed at his key on the desk. “Take it out for a spin if you want.”
Luo Haiting waved her hand. “Thank you, Director. I dare not drive such an expensive car. Later, I will help you get our City Party Committee Building’s entry permit.”
“Ok. Thank you.”
