Chapter 647: Gold will shine eventually

5.45 pm.

Dong Xuebing returned to Guang Ming Subdistrict Office before the day ended. He parked his car and walked towards his office.

The staff is packing up, preparing to go home.

“Director.”

“Director Dong.”

A few staff members greeted Dong Xuebing.

Dong Xuebing nodded and asked an administrative staff. “Is Secretary Qu still around?”

That staff paused for a second. “I think so. I saw the lights in his office are still switched on when I walked past earlier.”

“Ok.” Dong Xuebing replied. “Let me ask Secretary Qu to come to my office.”

“Yes. I will go now.” That staff quickly went to inform Qu Yiqiang.

Work Party Secretary office.

Qu Yiqiang knocked on the door and entered. “Director Dong.”

Dong Xuebing is taking a glass of water at the water dispenser. He turns around and smiles. “Secretary Qu, why are you still around?”

“I still have some work to do.” Qu Yiqiang replied. “Do you need me for anything?”

Dong Xuebing nodded and gestured for him to take a seat. “I heard the District Commission for Discipline Inspection is looking into the incident reported by Nan Qi Morning Post. Is it true?”

Qu Yiqiang frowned. “I don’t know the details, but I heard about it. I thought it was a rumor.”

Most people will know the Commission for Discipline Inspection will investigate someone secretly unless it is a special situation. But both Dong Xuebing and Qu Yiqiang had heard about it now. This means someone within the Commission for Discipline Inspection Party Committee is up to something. It should not be the Commission for Discipline Inspection Party Secretary Wu. He is with Mayor Geng’s faction and has nothing to do with Wang faction’s Xue Qingrong. If Secretary Wu is targeting him, he can do it openly. The person behind should be someone close to Xue Qingrong.

Dong Xuebing decided to see how it went.

Just like what Dong Xuebing told Pang Dabing. He is not scared of anything or anyone. Since someone is targeting him, he shall wait and see.

Do you think I am afraid of you all? Go and find out who I am first!

Dong Xuebing thought nothing about it. “Secretary Qu, it’s after office hours. Go back and have a good rest. Oh….” He pulled a drawer and took out two cartons of cigarettes. “I just returned from Beijing and know you are a heavy smoker. These two cartons are for you.” These are Zhong Nan Hai cigarettes which are cheaper than the Zhong Hua brand. But these cigarettes are expensive too. Secretary Qu is on Dong Xuebing’s side, and Dong Xuebing had to be fair to him. He had previously given Zhou Yanru and Wang Yuling a few cartons of cigarettes.

Qu Yiqiang smiles. “Thank you. Zhong Nan Hai cigarettes are good. I will accept them. Next time, I will give you some local products from my hometown to try. I am sure you will like it.”

“Haha…. I am looking forward to it.”

They chatted for a while, and Qu Yiqiang left.

Zhou Yanru was about to rush into Dong Xuebing’s office when she saw Qu Yiqiang closing the door. “Secretary Qu, is Director back?”

Qu Yiqiang nodded. “He just came back.”

“Is… is Director alright?” Zhou Yanru lowered her voice. “I heard the District’s Commission for Discipline Inspection is going…. Did he say anything?”

Qu Yiqiang smiles. “Yes.”

“What did he say?” Zhou Yanru asked seriously.

“He was discussing with me about which cigarettes taste the best.”

Zhou Yanru burst out laughing. Who is not afraid of the Commission for Discipline Inspection? But Director Dong still has time to talk about cigarettes after knowing he is being investigated. She had rushed here to warn him about the Commission for Discipline Inspection investigation and talked about whether Nan Qi Morning Post will continue with their reports on this incident. She decided not to meet Dong Xuebing after hearing from Qu Yiqiang.

Dong Xuebing’s character is conflicting.

Director Dong is a calm person, but he does all sorts of ridiculous things on impulse.

But Director Dong can remain calm when facing any difficulties and doesn’t seem fazed.

Never mind. Zhou Yanru decided not to think about this.

Zhou Yanru and Qu Yiqiang walked down the stairs together.

A few minutes later, a piece of shocking news spread throughout Nan Shan District. Almost every staff heard about it.

Liu Gang, who had written the article about Dong Xuebing beating up others, and Nan Qi Morning Post’s Deputy Chief Editor Pang Dabing, were arrested by State Security. Their homes and offices were searched and sealed. The reason for their arrest is reporter Liu Gang had followed Guang Ming Subdistrict Office Director Dong Xuebing this afternoon. Halfway doing his tailing of Dong Xuebing, he switched to follow the City State Security Bureau Chief Xu for an hour. He even took pictures of Chief Xu and was arrested by the State Security Officers. Pang Dabing was brought back for investigation, and Nan Qi Morning Post’s higher management decided their punishment. Liu Gang is ‘double dismissed,’ and Pang Dabing is fired from the agency.

The jaws of Guang Ming Subdistrict Office staff dropped when they heard this.

Nan Qi Morning Post had just published an article to tarnish Director Dong, and that reporter and his superior were arrested by the State Security and fired by the agency within hours.

This is too fast.

They are even suspected to be spies. What the hell is going on?

Zhou Yanru was stunned when she heard about this. She understands why Dong Xuebing is so calm and what he meant when he said, “I will be impressed if they dare to make any false reports tomorrow.” Within a few hours, Liu Gang and his superior were locked up by the State Security and fired from the newspaper agency. Even if they are released, they can’t frame Director Dong.

This is Director Dong’s way of dealing with the situation.

Could it be Liu Gang had foolishly followed the wrong person? How come he can’t tell the difference between a young man and a middle-aged woman?

Since Dong Xuebing came to Nan Shan District, he was involved in ridiculous incidents. He beaten up dozens of civilians, won against the neighboring Subdistrict, beaten up the Organization Department Chief’s son, and created all sorts of troubles. He quickly got the nickname of “Biggest troublemaker in Nan Shan District.” But this incident had escalated his status to another level. Whoever gets involved will encounter bad luck and don’t have any good endings. This is no longer a troublemaker.

This guy is the God of Plagues!

Gold will shine eventually. Dong Xuebing’s nickname in Yan Tai County had appeared in Nan Shan District for the first time.
