Chapter 1848
Dong Xuebing was quite the jerk.
This was something everyone knew.
Dong Xuebing could have changed his attitude when facing the Provincial Disciplinary Committee members. It wasnât that he couldnât be polite or show respect for the higher-up enforcement agencies, but Dong Xuebing didnât want to do that. His temper was just that bad. He had already sensed the provincial attitude toward him before taking office. The city didnât like him, and the province didnât like him either. They probably couldnât wait for him to leave. You could tell this from the upcoming news reports; this time, the provinceâs main target for the knife was Jiaolin County, or rather, Dong Xuebing himself. He had been suspended for investigation, and the weight of this as a county party secretary was obvious. Such an investigation could almost end his political career. But the province still decided to proceed with this, which spoke volumes. They didnât care about him or his situation, so how could Dong Xuebing be polite to them?
Impossible!
Whatâs wrong with the higher-ups?
Donât they know what kind of temper I, Dong Xuebing, have?
Iâm giving them face by not outright dismissing them! Donât even talk about ignoring them! Iâve punched leaders before. Do you think Iâm scared of them?
So Dong Xuebing wasnât being politeâhe was intentionally provoking them!
The members of the provincial investigation team could tell, and they were furious. They made up their minds that they couldnât let this Dong guy get away with this. They had already grasped the evidence against Jiaolin County, and now he was challenging them? Was he out of his mind?
The trucks drove out of the county party compound.
Dong Xuebing and his colleagues from Jiaolin County followed behind.
The provincial investigation team followed in their cars.
âŠâŠ
In the car.
One of the Provincial Disciplinary Committee members asked, âDirector Cheng, who is this guy?â
Cheng Wei answered with a serious face, âHe used to be a cadre in the Central Disciplinary Committee. I heard he had a notorious temper back then, even daring to yell at leaders. Looks like itâs true.â
Another disciplinary committee member remarked, âIsnât he just asking for trouble?â
A different cadre commented, âRight? The investigation team has been established, and they still dare to move in now. I donât know what the county party secretary is thinking.â
Cheng Wei replied, âDonât let him throw us off track. Stick to the plan. Stay sharp and make sure we get everything on record.â
âŠâŠ
Meanwhile, in Dong Xuebing's car.
Meng Hanmei, Chang Lin, Sun Changzhi, and the other leaders were all in this car.
Sun Changzhi, the head of the publicity department, was extremely worried. âSecretary, why are you still letting them move in? This isnât⊠sigh, what should we do?â
Dong Xuebing responded indifferently, âYouâll know soon.â
Meng Hanmei and Chang Lin exchanged surprised glances. What did he mean? Did Secretary Dong already have some strategy in mind? But it shouldnât be possible. The evidence was right there, and they couldnât move it. With the province set on investigating them, how could they escape now? Meng Hanmei and the others couldnât figure out why Dong Xuebing remained so calm. As long as the new county party compound was there, and as long as the province had decided to investigate them, they wouldnât be able to get away with it.
Up ahead, they reached the new district of Jiaolin County.
However, when the trucks ahead started heading west, Dong Xuebing immediately called ahead. âNot this direction. Tell them to stop. My car will lead the way.â
He then told the driver, Xiao Wang, âXiao Wang, take the southern entrance. Right, turn here and pass them. Weâll lead the way.â
This command left many people confused.
Xiao Wang was also puzzled. "Secretary, the new county party compound is not here. If we go this way, won't we be..."
Dong Xuebing cut him off. "Just follow my instructions. Go straight ahead. Yes, weâll turn right in a bit."
As Dong Xuebing's car sped ahead, the formation was immediately disrupted, but luckily, with Dong Xuebing leading the way, the trucks and many of the county cars slowly followed. However, everyone was slightly suspiciousâwasnât this a detour? áčáŒĆá»đ±ĂĆ
Five minutes later.
The cars arrived at a desolate location.
Dong Xuebing immediately said, "Stop here. Yes, this is the place."
Meng Hanmei hesitated, "This place?"
Where was this? They had never been here before!
Dong Xuebing left the car confidently and looked toward a small gate. The people from Jiaolin County, also full of question marks, got out of the cars.
"What is this place?"
"Uh, I donât know?"
"Isnât the new county party compound on that street?"
Everyone started whispering; none of them understood what was going on. They hadnât expected Secretary Dong to bring them here. Now that they thought about it, Dong Xuebing had always said they were moving, but he had never said where they were going to move to.
Zhang Dongfang and the others arrived, and Cheng Wei and the provincial investigation team members looked around, equally confused and unsure of what was happening.
At that moment, someone walked out from the small gateâit was Dong Xuebingâs secretary, Su Yan. As soon as Su Yan saw everyone, he hurried to Dong Xuebing. "Secretary!"
Dong Xuebing asked, "Is everything ready?"
"The contractâs signed, everythingâs set," Su Yan replied.
Dong Xuebing said "Good," patting his shoulder, then turned to the others and loudly said, "Move everything in! Everything needs to go in!"
Several rows of small houses were now visible inside. They were in terrible condition, looking like temporary housing on a construction site for workers.
Zhang Dongfang widened his eyes, "Here?"
Dong Xuebing replied matter-of-factly, "Yes."
Cheng Weiâs face darkened. "Youâre fooling us, right? This is your new county party compound?"
Dong Xuebing looked at him like he was crazy. "Of course. Where else do you think our new compound is? Itâs right here. I had Xiao Su rent this place under the countyâs name. The conditions are tough, but we wonât work here forever. Weâve already decided to renovate the old county compound. Once thatâs done, weâll move back there. Director Cheng, whatâs the problem? Is there an issue?"
Cheng Wei felt like heâd been played. He angrily pulled out a few photos of their grand palace-like compound. "Iâm talking about the new county party compound exposed by the provincial TV station!"
Dong Xuebing feigned ignorance. "What new compound? I donât know anything about that."
Cheng Wei slammed the photos in front of him. "Donât play dumb with us!"
Dong Xuebing glanced at the photos and said, "Oh, youâre talking about this place? Hah, I thought you all made such a fuss for something more important."
Dong Xuebingâs way of speaking was genuinely infuriating!
