Morning.
In the classroom.
After the conversation, Dong Quan left the room. But Dong Xuebing did not leave. He lit a cigarette and took out his phone. He crossed his legs and found the number of the Second Bureau's Chief Yin Chengan. He dialed. He must greet Yin Chengan.
Beep … beep …
Dong Xuebing answered.
"Hello, Director Dong."
"Director Yin, are you busy?"
"Haha … I had just finished a meeting. What's up?"
"Well, I have something to report to you. I asked for leave today and went out. I happened to meet Dong Quan, the Executive Deputy Mayor of Wuyang City in Jiangdong Province. He is the one who approved the project from the General Office and the Letter and Visitors Office. Well, there are some other things. When I saw it, I called him over to talk to him and asked him to hand in the report within this week. I originally wanted to ask you for instructions, but things are a bit complicated here, so I didn't have time."
"Haha … it's fine. It's good that you went to look for them. During the meeting just now, I had assigned the tasks to everyone. But the one assigned to you is another City in Jiangdong Province. Since you are talking about Wuyang City, I will speak to He Zhou later and ask him to contact that City. He will give him his task, and you will be in charge of Wuyang City. I will pass the report from Wuyang City to you, and you can follow up on it. After that, you can give me your final opinion on what to do with that City."
"Ok."
"But it's better to give them a warning. Of course, if they are not clear on what to do, then you don't have to be soft on them."
"I understand, Director Yin."
"Haha … alright. Carry on with your work."
"Ok. I will let you know if there are any updates."
"There's no need. You handle it. Just let me know one last time."
Yin Chengan is still easy-going and flexible. He is not as rigid as the other Discipline Inspection officers. After this call, Dong Xuebing's impression of him got better. He had been working for many years, and this is the first time he met such a kind leader. Of course, the way they interact might also be related to their ranks. Although Dong Xuebing's work and office are in the Eighth Bureau's Second Department, he is still a Divisional Inspector, and his relationship with the Eighth Bureau is still there. Yin Chengan is also a Divisional Inspector in the Eighth Bureau. From this angle, both of them are of the same rank, but Dong Xuebing is not a leader.
With the approval, Dong Xuebing can do whatever he wants. Now, it all depends on Dong Quan. If Dong Quan continues to be stubborn, then don't blame Dong Xuebing for being merciless. But Dong Quan is a smart man. For him to be the Executive Deputy Mayor, he should know when to give up.
… …
Outside the school building.
The conversation did not last long. Only a few minutes had passed, and the students and teachers were still waiting for the results.
Vice Principal Wang was panicking. It's almost 10 am, and the leaders and attendees should be arriving. But the scene is still in a mess. What should he do? Also, is Jiang Min's student really a leader from the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection? He is too young. Since when is there such a person among their graduates? How come they had not heard of him before? If they knew this earlier, Dong Xuebing will surely be on the leader's invitation list, and things will not end up like this. Who dares to offend you after knowing you are a leader from the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection? Vice Principal Wang's face turned red and white as he thought about how he had been bossing him around in the auditorium for a long time. He began to feel uneasy.
He looked at Jiang Min and quickly said to the security guards: "Go to the infirmary and call the school's doctor over to check on Teacher Jiang's leg."
The security guards immediately replied: "Ok!"
Vice Principal Wang wanted to make amends. He does not know Dong Xuebing's identity and caused many misunderstandings. He hopes he can make it in time.
But before the security guards could go, someone arrived at the infirmary. Someone had called Jiang Min earlier.
A doctor from the infirmary came over and squatted in front of Jiang Min to check on her leg. "It's fine. It should only be a slight sprain. But I suggest you go to the hospital for an X-ray. Our school does not have the equipment and medicine."
Vice Principal Wang said: "Yes, yes. Go to the hospital."
Many students rolled their eyes when they saw Vice Principal Wang's attitude changed.
Jiang Min waved her hand. "There's no need for that, Principal Wang. My leg is fine now." After resting for a while, she could already stand on her own and walk a little. She felt much better.
Vice Principal Wang was concerned: "How can you do that? You still need to take a look."
"Don't bother. I am fine." Teacher Jiang said: "Principal Wang, ask the students to disperse. The guests will be arriving soon."
Vice Principal Wang also wanted to ask the students to disperse, but the students had no intention to leave. He had no choice. "There is a stone bench over there. Let one of my students help you over."
"Yes. Please take a seat first." Sun Ruhua and Zhao Meng immediately follow Jiang Min to the bench.
Seeing only a few of them, Le Haidong quickly asked: "Teacher Jiang, Dong Xuebing … …"
Sun Ruhua was also curious. "How did he become a Divisional level leader?"
Jiang Min shook her head helplessly and looked at the teacher. "I am also not sure. I only know that this kid had entered the government after graduation and became a Civil Servant. After that, he was transferred to a poor county in the west and was transferred back to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection recently. But I also do not know what rank he is at. I did not expect him to be a Divisional level leader. This kid had hidden his talents well. "
Le Haidong also took a deep breath.
A few of Dong Xuebing's old classmates did not know what to do. They had a bad impression of Dong Xuebing when they saw him driving an old Xiali and ignored him. They even let him do the heavy lifting. But in the blink of an eye, Dong Xuebing, who used to be a nobody in their class, had become a Divisional Leader. This was hard for them to accept, and they were shocked by Dong Xuebing's rank. Especially Le Haidong. He felt his face was burning. He had thought highly of himself in front of Dong Xuebing earlier, but now … … Le Haidong felt embarrassed. Dong Xuebing was the best graduate in their class, but he kept a low profile and did not say a word about it. On the other hand, Le Haidong, Sun Ruhua, and the rest had been bragging about Dong Xuebing all the time. It was too shameful.
Suddenly, there was a commotion.
"He is here!"
"He is out!"
"What happened?"
"I don't know. Let's wait and see."
Everyone's eyes were on Dong Quan, who had just walked out of the school building.
Seeing so many people looking at him, Dong Quan subconsciously twitched the corner of his mouth. However, as an official of this rank, he still had the ability to maintain his composure. His expression was no longer the same as before. From an indifferent expression, it was replaced by an apologetic one. Seeing Jiang Min sitting on the stone bench at the back of the crowd, he immediately quickened his steps to greet her. "Teacher Jiang, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
Jiang Min wanted to stand up.
However, Dong Quan walked over and quickly reached out his hand to help Jiang Min down. "Your foot is injured. Don't just stand there. Sit down." After saying that, Dong Quan sighed and said, "It's all my fault. At first, I didn't know why everyone rushed out when I entered the school gate. I didn't pay attention and bumped into you. Just now, Director Dong talked to me, and I found out that everyone was here to welcome me. If I had known, I would have gotten out of the car and apologized. I even bumped into someone. Sigh, this is all my fault. It's all my fault." He even added a sentence for himself to get out of this embarrassing situation.
Jiang Min was not unreasonable. "It's fine. It's just a sprain."
"Oh, the medical fees … …" Dong Quan took out his wallet.
Jiang Min pushed him away. "No need. It's fine."
After pushing for a long time, Teacher Jiang still did not ask for the medical fees. Dong Quan saw this and gave up. "Then I will apologize to you again. I'm really sorry."
Dong Quan apologized a few times, and his attitude was very humble.
Jiang Min, the students, and the teachers saw this, and their anger subsided.
It was nothing more than a fight for face and reason. Now that Dong Quan had admitted defeat and apologized, the matter was over.
Dong Quan turned around and saw Dong Xuebing was still not out. He walked closer and whispered to Jiang Min: "Teacher Jiang, if your leg is fine, I would like to treat you to dinner tonight as an apology. Hmmm … … Chief Dong and I might have some misunderstandings earlier. You see … … I would also like to invite Chief Dong for dinner to explain. But if I invite him … … Chief Dong might … …"
Jiang Min thought for a while and said. "It's fine with me. I will help you ask Xuebing." Dong Xuebing nodded.
"Ok. Thank you." Dong Quan was relieved. This was the best solution Dong Quan could think of.
This was the best solution Dong Quan could think of. He had no choice but to give in to Dong Xuebing. If not, he does not have the power to wrestle with Dong Xuebing. Dong Quan thought for a while and decided to apologize. A wise man knows better than to fight when the odds are against him. But he was afraid Dong Xuebing would not let him off. So, he apologized in a humble manner and invited Dong Xuebing for a meal. Dong Quan does not mind if Dong Xuebing does not come over. Actually, Dong Quan did not expect Dong Xuebing to agree to his invitation. Dong Quan wanted Jiang Min to speak up for him in front of Dong Xuebing. From Dong Xuebing's attitude towards Jiang Min, Dong Quan could tell that Dong Xuebing cared a lot about his teacher. If Jiang Min could speak up for him, it would be more useful than Dong Quan's explanations. Dong Quan also does not want Dong Xuebing to go to his place!
