Afternoon.
A street in the city.
The County's Party Secretary, Zhang Feng, is driving a small car, and a black Land Rover is behind. Chen Xiaomei is driving. Yan Yizhi is sitting in the front passenger seat, and Dong Xuebing is leaning against the back seat. He is in a semi-reclining position. This is different from the past few times he was injured. In the past, he used Reverse to recover immediately, and no one can tell. But this time, everyone saw his fractures, and the results from the hospital are out. If he used Reverse to recover, it will be unjustifiable. Dong Xuebing can only wait for his injuries to recover slowly.
Dong Xuebing closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep as the car drove. Dong Xuebing had asked Yao Cui to go back two days ago, and she will coordinate with her work. If there is any problem, she can call him and let him know. That's why he was hospitalized for the past few days.
Everything is going smoothly.
The money had arrived, and his work is on track.
Sigh … I can have a good rest now.
A few minutes later, Chen Xiaomei, who was in front, stopped the car.
"Chief Chen?"
"Secretary Zhang had stopped the car."
"Stopped the car? She is not there yet, right? "
"Yes. She had stopped by the roadside. Err … I alighted."
Dong Xuebing stretched his neck and looked ahead. He saw Zhang Feng and Chen Xiaomei walking towards them. Chen Xiaomei had also opened the door and went downstairs.
"What's wrong, Secretary Zhang?"
"Mayor Jiang had called and said she will be arriving soon."
"Eh? Isn't Mayor Jiang returning at night?"
"She should have finished her meeting and asked us to wait for her."
"Alright. I will inform Mayor Dong."
… …
Ten minutes later.
Mayor Jiang's car slowly drove over from behind.
Jiang Fangfang alighted and nodded to them. "Sorry to keep you waiting. Let's go."
Yan Yizhi, Chen Xiaomei, and the rest greeted Mayor Jiang and were about to board the car. But Jiang Fangfang bent over and entered the backseat of the Land Rover. Yan Yizhi saw this and asked Chen Xiaomei to drive, while he boarded Zhang Feng's Secretary Zhang's car.
After a while, the three cars drove off.
In the car.
Dong Xuebing greeted. "Mayor Jiang."
Jiang Fangfang nodded calmly. "How do you feel?"
"It's fine. It will recover in a few days." Dong Xuebing replied.
"You've worked hard this time, and I'm sorry. It wasn't a good job to ask you for money, and now you're covered in injuries."
"Don't say that. This is all for work." Dong Xuebing replied. "As long as I can get my money back, I am willing to suffer any injuries."
Jiang Fangfang looked at Dong Xuebing. "I might have implicated you this time. I just came back from a meeting in the City, and some of the leaders in the City are not very nice to our County. They are unhappy that we took the money away. One of the leaders from the City Construction Department was even more direct. His face turned black when he saw me. The City should have wanted to use the money for the construction of the city. I think the Standing Committee had already approved it. Now that the money is gone, there is no way to carry out the project."
Dong Xuebing replied. "It's my fault."
Zhen Shui County's relationship with the City Government was strained after this incident.
"It's not your fault. Asking the City Government for money will surely be pressured. Party Secretary Meng and I were prepared for this. But we felt bad for you. The City Government should be blaming you for this incident, and you are the one bearing the brunt of it." Dong Xuebing was the one who had offended the City Government. He was the one who asked for the money, and in the end, he was also the one who extorted 1 million RMB from the City Government. The City will definitely hold this grudge against him, and they will not make things difficult for Zhen Shui County.
Dong Xuebing replied: "I am fine."
Jiang Fangfang continued: "You had just been appointed, and you still have a long way to go. If I knew this would happen, I would not have let you come to the City Government."
"It's fine. I am used to it." Dong Xuebing replied.
Chen Xiaomei, who was driving, looked at Dong Xuebing from the rear view mirror. Used to it? Used to what?
Dong Xuebing was talking about offending people. The number of people who hate him could hold a concert with more than 10,000 people. He does not care about the number of people who hate him.
"Anyway, you better be careful." Jiang Fangfang said. "That day, before I left, I noticed something was wrong with Wei Lin's gaze. Anyway, you know what I am doing."
Something was wrong with his gaze?
She wants to take revenge on me?
Dong Xuebing knew Mayor Jiang was not joking. Gaze? Just a gaze should not be enough. After all, Dong Xuebing had offended Wei Lin and even suspended him from his position. It would be weird if Wei Lin's gaze was good. Maybe Jiang Fangfang had heard something or knew about Wei Lin's character. That's why she told Dong Xuebing to be careful. But Dong Xuebing did not mind.
Take revenge on me?
Come on! This bro is waiting for you!
I asked you to come over standing! Go back lying down!
Dong Xuebing had been in the government service for a few years and had seen many situations. But he was the one who caused trouble. He had never suffered any losses!
"Mayor Jiang, I think … … Cough … … Cough … …"
Dong Xuebing had been talking since he boarded the bus. He is sitting in the bus and not lying down, and he is not feeling well. He started coughing again, and his chest hurts. His body swayed a few times, and his wound and cast were affected. Dong Xuebing's face turned pale, and cold sweat started dripping down his forehead. He doesn't dare to say another word.
Chen Xiaomei quickly slowed down. "How are you, Mayor Dong?"
Jiang Fangfang took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat off Dong Xuebing's forehead.
Dong Xuebing was surprised and quickly said. "Don't … … cough … … it's fine."
Jiang Fangfang slowly said. "Stop talking and rest. We are already out of the city, and we will be there soon."
Dong Xuebing nodded and adjusted his breathing to calm down.
"Chief Chen, have you contacted the County Hospital?" Jiang Fangfang asked.
Chen Xiaomei replied while driving. "I had informed them, and the ward is ready."
Jiang Fangfang nodded. "Ok. Drive slowly to the County Hospital. It's too bumpy, and Mayor Dong might not be able to take it."
Dong Xuebing slowly closed his eyes to rest. He felt helpless.
Sigh … … How long do I need to recuperate?
I will think about it after this month. If not, I will use REVERSE next month. If not, I will not be able to recover in this state. I can only bear with it for the rest of this month.
… …
At the same time.
Elsewhere, Meihe City.
In a quiet courtyard, a middle-aged man was sitting beside a grape trellis. He was the suspended Finance Department Chief, Wei Lin.
Dong Xuebing's incident in the city was not only caused by him and Zhen Shui County. Wei Lin was the one who had to bear the City's anger. Although Dong Xuebing's actions were too extreme, at least he had done what he did. He had almost lost his life in the City, and it was reasonable for him to make demands. But Wei Lin was different. This incident was caused by Wei Lin's push. It was just a small push, and the City had to compensate 1 million RMB!
How can the City let Wei Lin off?
Impossible! His suspension was a sign of hope!
Wei Lin does not know if Dong Xuebing could pull through this incident, and he does not know if he will be reinstated. He had called his friends many times over the past two days, and the rest was up to fate.
As for those people in Zhen Shui County … …
Wei Lin's face turned cold. He took out his phone and called a friend who had gone to send Dong Xuebing to another hospital in the afternoon. Ring … ring … ring … the call got through.
"Hello, Chief Wei."
"Old Cao, don't call me that."
"Your suspension is only temporary. It will be fine after the investigation."
"I hope so. Oh, I need to talk to you. Did you go to the hospital earlier?"
"That's right. Sigh … I had sent those people from Zhen Shui County away, especially that Executive Deputy Mayor Dong. He is such a headache. Even Mayor Zhao was disgusted by him and almost slammed the table. The higher-ups had asked Mayor Zhao to go to the hospital to see Dong Xuebing, but this matter was settled privately. Still, no one can guarantee that nothing will happen. But after Mayor Zhao got the news in the afternoon, he fell sick and went home to rest. In the end, someone from the City Government could only lead the team to the hospital. Sigh … … Let's not talk about this."
Dong Xuebing was just an Executive Deputy Mayor, and a Deputy Mayor was forced to pretend to be sick. This showed how difficult it was to deal with Dong Xuebing!
Of course, everyone knew Deputy Mayor Zhao was not afraid of Dong Xuebing. It was because he could not stand Dong Xuebing's disgusting words!
Old Cao had been present since the start of the meeting with Dong Xuebing and knew what Deputy Mayor Zhao was thinking. That Dong Xuebing's background was unknown, but his mouth was full of sarcasm. Anything that comes out of his mouth will not be nice, and he will not say it out loud. He will beat around the bush to disgust you. Just one sentence from that Dong Xuebing will shorten your lifespan by one year. If Old Cao could avoid Dong Xuebing, he would also not go there.
"Chief Wei, why are you asking this?"
"What time did they leave?"
"About half an hour ago. I think they should be out of the city by now."
"How many of them left? Who are they? "
"Zhen Shui County Finance Department's two bureau chiefs. Oh, there is also a secretary."
"Their Party Secretary and Mayor are not around? They did not come to fetch them? "
"Zhen Shui County's Party Secretary had returned a few days ago. Mayor Jiang … … should have a meeting in the morning. He is not with them. Anyway, I did not see him."
"Ok. I got it."
"Huh? What are you talking about?"
"I am just asking casually."
No higher-ups or leaders? Only Dong Xuebing and his subordinates left?
Wei Lin made up his mind. After hanging up the phone, he called an old friend he had helped in the past!
