Chapter 811: Xiao Dong got mad again

Morning.

The commotion outside the Commission for Discipline Inspection ended, and everybody heard about the clash between Dong Xuebing and Liu Hanqing. Director Dong had used his Porsche to crash Deputy Director Liu’s Toyota Crown and humiliated him. All the staff talked about this incident, as such conflict was rare in a department like the Commission for Discipline Inspection. They were curious about how the leaders handled it.

Are the leaders going to let them be?

Punish both of them?

Only reprimand Liu Hanqing and stop his transfer order?

The Inspection First Office Director Office.

Dong Xuebing drank a glass of hot water from the water dispenser. He was prepared to be punished by the leaders for crashing his car into that Toyota Crown. He did not think he was wrong in this incident. Liu Hanqing is only a Deputy Director of a sub-department. How can he challenge the authority of his direct superior by preventing him from parking? This is insubordination, and it is taboo in the government sector. It might be okay if this incident did not blow up. But now, it had blown up, and the Discipline Inspection leaders must take action. He believed the leaders would not side with Liu Hanqing and might stop his transfer.

Do you think you can leave after stepping all over me?!

Dong Xuebing will not let Liu Hanqing off lightly. He must pay for what he did.

One minute….

Five minutes….

Ten minutes….

Finally, the phone on Dong Xuebing’s desk rang.

A middle-aged man said over the phone. “I am Xiao Bin. Come to my office now.”

Du…. Du…. Du…. Xiao Bin hung up. He sounded angry.

Dong Xuebing frowned. Xiao Bin sounds like the Leader who shouted out of the windows earlier. He was the one who asked Dong Xuebing to stop sounding his horn and park elsewhere. He knew he had offended this Leader by ignoring his instructions and crashing his car into Liu Hanqing’s car.

Upstairs.

Inspection Bureau Chief Office.

Dong Xuebing knocked on the door and entered. Xiao Bin was behind his desk, staring at him. Dong Xuebing had met this middle-aged man during his welcome lunch. This man is the City’s Commission for Discipline Inspection Deputy Secretary and Inspection Bureau Chief. He is the No. 2 of the City’s Commission for Discipline Inspection and is one level below Secretary He.

“Chief Xiao.” Dong Xuebing said. “Are you looking for me?”

Xiao Bin did not let Dong Xuebing sit. He continued to stare at him in an imposing manner. “What happened in the carpark this morning?! What are you trying to do? You are working in the City Commission for Discipline Inspection. Where is your discipline? How can you drive your car into another staff’s car? Do you know your actions negatively impact the Discipline Inspection?”

Dong Xuebing did not admit it. “Chief Xiao, it was an accident. I thought the lot was big enough for me to enter.”

Xiao Bin replied coldly. “I don’t care if it was an accident or not. It had happened, and the damage was done. What else do you want to say?”

Hmph…. What do you mean?

You are blaming me for everything.

Dong Xuebing had sounded his horn to get Liu Hanqing to shift his car yesterday and this morning. But the latter pretended not to hear anything, and this Xiao Bin still asked him to park elsewhere. Xiao Bin was pinning all the blame on Dong Xuebing as if Liu Hanqing had done nothing wrong. This guy was biased, and he made Dong Xuebing’s heart grow cold. He did not expect the Inspection Bureau Chief to target him like this. Are you all want so determined to demonstrate your strengths and put me in place?

Xiao Bin continued to reprimand Dong Xuebing in his office.

However, Xiao Bin did not punish Dong Xuebing and asked him to get out after his lecture.

Dong Xuebing was frustrated when he walked down the stairs.

On his way down, Dong Xuebing saw Zhu Zhu, who was delivering a document.

Dong Xuebing stopped her. “Xiao Zhu, where is Deputy Director Liu?”

Zhu Zhu looked at Dong Xuebing and quickly replied. “Director Liu should be in his office.”

“He was in his office this whole time?” Dong Xuebing asked.

“Yes. I did not see him leave.”

“Alright. I know. Carry on with your work.”

The Commission for Discipline Inspection Deputy Secretary Xiao Bin did not summon Liu Hanqing to his office. Maybe he had scolded him over the phone, but he summoned Dong Xuebing to his office to scold him. He even blamed Dong Xuebing for everything.

Dong Xuebing was infuriated.

Liu Hanqing had climbed over my head, and you all pretended not to see it. Now, you all jumped out from nowhere to blame me just because I retaliated?

F**k!

Are you all forcing me to fall out with you all?

Inspection First Office Deputy Director Office. 

Liu Hanqing appeared to be relaxed as he spoke with his father over the phone. “Don’t worry about anything. The Leader did not scold me or anything.”

Liu Dong asked. “What about Dong Xuebing?”

“He was summoned to Chief Xiao’s office. I think he was reprimanded now. Haha….” Liu Hanqing did not expect this outcome and was gloating about it.

“I warned you to be careful. Why can’t you listen?”

“Dad, nothing will happen.”

“If your Mum had not called your Discipline Inspection leader, and he owed her a favor, do you think you will be fine? This is a critical period for your transfer, and the order will be issued today. Stop messing around. You can always get a new car if it was damaged.”

“I know, Dad.”

“This Dong Xuebing was too much too. How can he crash his car into another car in front of the Commission for Discipline Inspection building? He is too arrogant.” Liu Dong did not expect Dong Xuebing to be more arrogant than his son. “Alright. I still have to entertain a client. Let’s talk tonight.”

Liu Hanqing acknowledged and hung up with a smile.

Dong Xuebing’s office.

Dong Xuebing knew the Discipline Inspection would not punish Liu Hanqing from the Inspection Bureau Chief’s attitude, and this incident would not affect his transfer. He will still be promoted after this incident, and Dong Xuebing cannot accept this outcome. Did you all think I am a pushover?!

You dare to treat me like a pushover?! Fine. I will show you what I can do.

Dong Xuebing took out his phone and called Yu Meixia.

Ring… ring… ring…. “Hello, Xiao Bing?”

“Sister Yu. It’s me.” Dong Xuebing smiled. “I am calling to tell you and Qianqian that I am back in Fen Zhou City now. Oh, how are you doing?”

Yu Meixia replied. “We are fine. My Mum got me a cashier job in the bank.”

Dong Xuebing asked. “How much can a cashier make?”

Yu Meixia happily replied. “I can get around seven to eight thousand a month with bonuses and incentives.”

“Wow…. Your salary is higher than mine.” Although Dong Xuebing was promoted to Deputy Division Chief, his salary was still low.

They chatted for a while, and Dong Xuebing asked. “Is your father and mother at home?”

Yu Meixia replied. “My Dad is not around, and my Mum is in the kitchen. You….”

“Can you pass the phone to her?”

“Ok. Please wait. Mum, Xiao Bing is looking for you.”

The City ICBC Branch President, Qian Lihua, answered the phone. “Xiao Bing? I heard you had been promoted. Congratulations.”

“Thank you, Aunty Qian.”

“What is it?”

Dong Xuebing paused for a second and asked. “Do you have a department head called Liu Dong? Have you heard of him?”

“Liu Dong?” Qian Lihua thought for a few seconds. “Are you talking about Old Liu from the credit department? I know him. What is it? Did he offend you?”

Dong Xuebing felt embarrassed. “How do you know?”

Qian Lihua laughed. “That’s because you are always creating trouble. Meixia had told me about you when we were chatting. I had heard about whatever you did in the County and Subdistrict. Problems and troubles always follow you wherever you go.”

Dong Xuebing cleared his throat. “Err…. Yes. That’s true.”

“What is it this time? You should know Liu Dong’s wife was our City’s former Deputy Mayor.”

“I know. But his son was too much.” Dong Xuebing treated Qian Lihua as his elder and told her everything. “I ignored him the first and second time when he provoked me. How can I keep quiet on the third time?”

“Hmm…. This Liu Dong’s son had crossed the line.”

“It is fine if this is too troublesome or inconvenient to get involved.”

Qian Lihua interrupted Dong Xuebing. “You had saved my life, and you are also my daughter and granddaughter’s savior. No need to say anymore. Leave it to me. Our bank’s Discipline Inspection department has received many reports about the credit department over the past few years. But Old Liu’s performance is not bad, and I suppressed those complaints against him. It’s time to dig out these complaints. To be honest, it’s rare for credit department staff to be clean.”

“Thank you, Aunty Qian.”

“Don’t mention it. If it weren’t for his wife, I would have replaced him long ago.”
