The next morning.
Teacher Sun from Hanhai Auction House called Dong Xuebing to inform him that the pearl necklace was ready and will be auctioned in the morning. Teacher Sun asked Dong Xuebing if he would like to attend the auction. In fact, the filming that was about to start couldn't be considered a small one. A real small one didn't even have a preview. Dong Xuebing did not attend the auction. He only asked Teacher Sun to help him prepare the entry fees for the auction tomorrow. It was because he does not have the money to pay the deposit. He had no choice but to get in through the back door.
At 7.30 am, Dong Xuebing went to Qu Yunxuan's apartment after brushing his teeth.
Qu Yunxuan was about to leave with her handbag. "I thought you are going to sleep in. Why are you up so early?"
Dong Xuebing replied: "Didn't I say last night? I will go with you to the newspaper agency! I want to see what that Gong wants! "
Qu Yunxuan heard this and said: "Xiao Bing, stop fooling around. Just stay at home. I can settle this myself."
"What can you settle? That Gong is trying to bully us. Why did he ask his brother to come to your house so late at night? Ah? What does he mean? Let's have a chat? Bullshit! "Dong Xuebing was furious." If you did not stop me last night, I would have beaten him up! What the hell?! He thinks he can do whatever he wants just because he is the Deputy Editor? Who does he think he is? "
Qu Yunxuan stared at Dong Xuebing: "You are not allowed to go. Listen to me and stay at home!" After arguing for a while, Qu Yunxuan forced Dong Xuebing to sit on the sofa. "I am going to work now. If I can't handle it, I will resign. Don't follow me. Listen to me and stay at home to watch TV or play on the computer. It's rare for the office to be on holiday. Don't run around." Qu Yunxuan reminded Dong Xuebing and left the house with her handbag.
But Dong Xuebing did not listen to her. 10 minutes later, he also left the house. Aunt Xuan was framed, removed from her position, and beaten up. That Gong had bullied her to this extent, and Dong Xuebing can only swallow his anger and resign? Damn! Why?! Dong Xuebing remembered how Aunt Xuan was dragged by her hair and beaten in Suzhou because of that old bastard's arrangement. He was filled with hatred. This is not the end! It was definitely not over yet!
Beijing Times.
Members and reporters walked into the news agency in twos and threes to get to work.
He knew Aunt Xuan wanted to save her face, and the Deputy Editor had forced her to date his brother. It was too embarrassing. Dong Xuebing was here to reason with Aunt Xuan. He does not believe that there are no reasonable leaders in the newspaper agency. If the Deputy Editor can investigate the framing of the Advertising Department, then Aunt Xuan's name will be cleared. He can also expose that Old Man Gong's true colors. If he can use this opportunity to shake his position as Deputy Editor, it would be even better.
When Dong Xuebing was about to enter, he saw a familiar face. He paused for a second and remembered that this person was the man who went upstairs to look for Aunt Xuan with a bouquet of roses. But this person was slightly older and had wrinkles on his forehead. That's right. This person must be Deputy Gong!
"President Gong."
"Good morning, President Gong."
Deputy Editor Gong smiled and nodded to them. He carried his briefcase and walked in briskly.
Dong Xuebing suppressed his anger and did not want to beat him up. After the incident with Zhou Guoan, Dong Xuebing's temper had grown. He knew this was not a good thing and must control himself. Hitting someone was not the best way to vent his anger. It might also bring trouble to himself. After all, he was working for the government. It was fine if he met some hooligans, but this was a government agency and was managed by Beijing Daily Newspaper Group. Beijing Daily Newspaper Group was a subsidiary of Beijing City Party Committee's Publicity Department. Dong Xuebing must not be rash.
After Deputy Editor Gong disappeared from Dong Xuebing's sight, Dong Xuebing took a deep breath and walked into the news agency.
The guard glanced at him and moved his lips, but he didn't say anything and didn't stop him.
Dong Xuebing thought the guard was intimidated by his authority. But the guard saw Dong Xuebing walking in arrogantly and felt Dong Xuebing must be here for something. That's why he did not stop him.
"Eh, Chief Xiao Dong?" Someone called Dong Xuebing from behind. "Why are you here?"
Dong Xuebing turned and saw Cao Ping. "Oh, I am here to look for someone."
"Looking for Yun Xuan? Really? Who are you looking for? I will bring you to her. " Cao Ping had a good impression of Dong Xuebing. After knowing Dong Xuebing was a government department leader, she did not address him as Dong Xuebing.
Dong Xuebing was still wondering where the leaders' offices were and replied: "Thank you. I am here because of Aunt Xuan. She had told me about it yesterday." Seeing Cao Ping was stunned, Dong Xuebing continued: "I am here to talk to the leaders of your agency. Just tell me the address of your agency's President, Chief Editor, or any of their offices."
Cao Ping replied: "To tell you the truth, Yun Xuan had already reported to the higher-ups, but … …"
"Sister Cao, just tell me."
"Alright. Here, do you see that 6-storey white building? Our Reporter's department is on the second floor. You can go up to the top floor and turn left. You will reach the Chief Editor's office. But it is useless for me to tell you this. You do not have an appointment, and you are not from the agency. They will not let you in. "
Dong Xuebing was stopped by the security at the first floor elevator. They asked him to register there.
Dong Xuebing told the female staff at the reception desk: "I want to look for your Chief Editor."
"Do you have an appointment?"
"No."
"May I know your name?"
"Dong."
"How can I help you?"
"I want to look for him."
"May I know … …"
The staff asked a lot of questions, but in the end, they did not allow Dong Xuebing to go upstairs. They told Dong Xuebing that the Chief Editor was in a meeting and did not have time. Who are you trying to fool?! Dong Xuebing wanted to get angry, but he forced himself to calm down. He took a deep breath and said to the female staff. "I will look for Qu Yunxuan. She is in the Reporter's department now."
That staff made a phone call and nodded to the security guard in front of the elevator.
Dong Xuebing entered the elevator, and the elevator stopped on the second floor. A staff from the Reporter's department walked out, but Dong Xuebing did not leave. He pressed the button for the sixth floor. Ding! The elevator door opened, and opposite Dong Xuebing was the reception desk. Further down, there was a glass partition. The office Cao Ping mentioned was also inside the partition. Without the agency's key card, one cannot enter. Dong Xuebing could only register at the reception desk.
"Sir, who are you looking for?"
"I am looking for your Chief Editor."
"Do you have an appointment?"
It was another round of questioning, and in the end, the Chief Editor was in a meeting. Just when Dong Xuebing banged on the table and was about to say something, the door opened, and a man in his fifties walked out. The female staff saw him and immediately greeted the Chief Editor. She pointed to Dong Xuebing and said: "Someone is looking for you. He said he wants to look for you."
Dong Xuebing quickly went over. "Hi, I will take up some of your time. I want to … …"
The Chief Editor pressed the elevator button and interrupted Dong Xuebing: "Take a seat and wait for a while. I will talk to you after I am done."
Dong Xuebing frowned, but he still nodded.
They waited for a full two hours. It was almost noon when the elevator door opened and the editor-in-chief appeared.
Damn! Are you giving birth? Dong Xuebing suppressed his anger and stood up from the resting area. He said directly: "I want to look into your agency's Deputy Editor Gong. A while ago, he had colluded with a client to get the client to say that Qu Yunxuan from the Advertising Department had problems with her work attitude. Deputy Editor Gong used this as an excuse to fire Qu Yunxuan and transferred her to the Reporter's department. He even threatened … …" Dong Xuebing lowered his voice so only the two of them could hear. "He also threatened Qu Yunxuan to date his younger brother. Qu Yunxuan did not agree and was sent to Zhejiang Province to do a dangerous undercover job. Is your agency going to do something like this?"
The Chief Editor thought Dong Xuebing was serious and was annoyed when he heard this. "I am not in charge of this. You go and look for the relevant leaders."
"Then which leader is in charge of this?"
The Chief Editor ignored Dong Xuebing and took a paper bag from the reception desk. He then entered the elevator.
Dong Xuebing was furious. Damn! I've been waiting for you for two hours, and you only left me a message in a taichi manner? Dong Xuebing took a few deep breaths and said to himself: I am here to reason with you and not to create trouble. I must be mindful of my image. I must be mindful of my image!
Dong Xuebing suppressed his anger and entered the elevator. "Chief Editor, that Deputy Editor Gong had used his job to threaten his staff. How bad is this? Shouldn't this be stopped? You might not know about this, but because of Deputy Editor Gong, Qu Yunxuan was sent to Suzhou and Hangzhou. In the end, she and another female reporter were beaten up by an illegal tour guide. If I had not arrived in time, I don't know what would have happened. "
The Chief Editor frowned. "This is our agency's internal affairs. If it is investigated, we will settle it ourselves. You don't need to worry about this."
"But someone must go and investigate."
Ding! The elevator reached the second floor. The Chief Editor quickly walked towards the Reporter's department.
Dong Xuebing tried his best to be patient and chased after the Chief Editor: "Chief Editor, this incident … …"
"What the hell are you doing?! Ah?! " Suddenly, a middle-aged man shouted. Dong Xuebing looked towards the direction of the voice and saw 3 people standing behind a row of desks. One of them was Deputy Gong, and the other two were Qu Yunxuan and Cao Ping. Dong Xuebing saw Deputy Gong pointing at Qu Yunxuan's nose and scolding: "Why did I ask you to go to Su Hang? You had messed up a small undercover investigation?! You were beaten up! You even dropped your camera?! Good! Good! You are really capable! "
Deputy Editor Gong only has one younger brother, and both of them were very close. So, when he saw his younger brother was in his thirties and was still single, he got worried. He tried to persuade his younger brother to marry Qu Yunxuan. But his younger brother fell in love with Qu Yunxuan and insisted on marrying her. Deputy Editor Gong was also very happy and tried to help them get together. But things did not go according to plan. Qu Yunxuan did not agree to his terms. That day, she slammed the table with him and stopped answering his brother's calls. Vice President Gong was furious with Qu Yunxuan's actions. Coupled with his brother's urging, he decided to demote Qu Yunxuan. He wants her to taste the bitterness of her actions. But over the phone yesterday, Deputy Manager Gong did not hear any change in Qu Yunxuan's attitude towards him. She even scolded him, and his brother complained to him after he returned home. Deputy Manager Gong was furious. Bitch! My brother's annual salary is several times more than yours. It is your fortune that he likes you, and you still don't want him to like you? You are still picky?! Fine. I will make sure you will not have a good day in the newspaper agency!
Qu Yunxuan replied with a straight face: "Deputy Editor Gong, I also do not want to get beaten up and snatch my camera. But no one can predict what will happen. This is the risk of being a reporter. Furthermore, I am sorry. I came from the advertising department and had worked there for 4 years. You want me to become a top reporter suddenly? I think you are overestimating me. "
Deputy Editor Gong's face changed. "You can't do well in the advertising department. You also can't do well in the reporter's department. Fine. Since you can't do this and that, do you know how to operate the elevator? You can? That's good. The elevator operator last week had just resigned. You can go and replace her for a few days! " Deputy Editor Gong could only demote Qu Yunxuan to the lowest rank in the office. He could not transfer her to operate the elevator. But he could still transfer her for a few days.
"Operate the elevator?" Qu Yunxuan's expression changed!
The Chief Editor frowned: "Be quiet!"
Deputy Editor Gong turned and saw the Chief Editor. He explained: "Chief Editor, this Qu Yunxuan's work attitude is too much. She had just returned from Zhejiang and did not even get a photo."
Bear with it! I must bear with it! Dong Xuebing clenched his fists and said to the Chief Editor: "Did you see it? Letting an old man who had worked for the newspaper agency for 4 years to operate the elevator? Isn't this an abuse of power? Isn't this disappointing? I am puzzled! How can this kind of person be the Deputy Editor?! "
"Xiao Bing!" Qu Yunxuan panicked.
Deputy Editor Gong was stunned. He knew Dong Xuebing was the one who had scolded him over the phone last night. His face turned black: "Who are you? Is this a place where outsiders can come and go? Get out! "
Dong Xuebing looked at the Chief Editor: "Chief Editor! You must be reasonable. He had abused his power several times … … "
"Enough!" The Chief Editor turned to someone beside him: "Call security to chase him away! What is he doing?! Tell the receptionist next time! Don't just let anyone into the newspaper agency! "
Deputy Editor Gong stared at Dong Xuebing coldly. He was thinking to himself: Who do you think you are?
Dong Xuebing had been tolerating from the moment he stepped into the newspaper agency. He had been tolerating until now … … He could not take it anymore!
Be mindful of your influence?
F * * k your influence!
Crash!
Dong Xuebing was furious and kicked an empty desk in front of him!
"Motherf * * ker! Chase me away?! You all better tell me what happened today! I'm not f * cking leaving! "
Everyone was shocked by Dong Xuebing, and everyone in the reporter's department was looking at him in shock!
The Chief Editor also did not expect Dong Xuebing to behave atrociously in the newspaper agency.
Dong Xuebing saw the Chief Editor looking at him and pointed at his nose: "What are you looking at?! Do you know how long I had waited for you by asking me to wait? I had waited for you on the sixth floor for 2 hours! I had tolerated you for 2 hours! I had called you Chief Editor, and you think you are someone important? You don't care about anything and only know how to talk like a bureaucrat! How can someone like you be the Chief Editor?! Bullshit! "
The Chief Editor's face turned green. "Call security!"
Dong Xuebing pointed at the culprit, Vice President Gong. "And you! Old bastard! Why don't you let your brother look at himself in the mirror?! Is he worthy of my Aunt Xuan?! You still dare to use your authority to pressure my Aunt Xuan?! She was beaten up for nothing because of your inexplicable undercover work! F * ck! You even colluded with a client from the advertising department to frame my Aunt Xuan?! Aren't you a little too daring? "
The reporters in the department looked at each other. How could there be such a thing?
Deputy Editor Gong's face turned pale. "What are you shouting for?! Get out! "
Qu Yunxuan was afraid things would blow up and quickly went over to stop Dong Xuebing. "Xiao Bing!"
Dong Xuebing was furious and will not listen to anyone. "Aunt Xuan, don't stop me. We must make things clear today. How can you bully me like this?!"
The elevator doors opened, and two security guards ran over!
Deputy Editor Gong pointed at Dong Xuebing angrily. "It's him! Bring him to the ground floor! That's right! Call 110! "
The two security guards rushed over in an instant.
"I want to see who dares to touch me!" Dong Xuebing took out his work pass from his pocket and threw it on the table. There was no State Security on his work pass. There was only a Police badge and the words "Police". Dong Xuebing also knew this incident would affect his reputation, and he does not want others to know where he was working. Most people will only think of him as Public Security.
When the two security guards saw this, they stopped and looked at Deputy Editor Gong. They do not dare to be charged with assaulting a police officer.
Dong Xuebing pointed at Deputy Editor Gong's nose and said: "Gong, don't think you are so great just because you are a Deputy Editor. Don't think you can do anything just because you are close to the leaders of the newspaper agency!" Dong Xuebing did not want to cause trouble, but this incident was too disgusting. He and Qu Yunxuan were in the right, and Dong Xuebing must get an explanation. Of course, he was not acting rashly. If it was another place, Dong Xuebing would not be so angry. This was because this was a newspaper agency, and it was under the jurisdiction of the Publicity Department. Xie Huilan, who owed him a favor and told him to look for her if he needed help, was the leader of the Central Publicity Department. "Fine. No one in your newspaper agency is involved in this incident. No one can give me an explanation. Fine. I will give you all an explanation today! "
Dong Xuebing took out his mobile phone and called Xie Huilan!
