Noon.
None of the airport staff dare to go for lunch or rest. All of them were waiting for Dong Xuebing's scolding.
One second …
Two seconds …
Three seconds …
No one made a sound as they were all embarrassed.
Xie Huilan smiled coldly. "Say something."
Xu Xianglin quickly said. "Secretary Xie, this is our mistake."
Deputy Chief Zhou added. "That's right. We did not investigate this incident earlier. You are right. We did not do a good job." Deputy Chief Zhou's words had a double meaning. He was referring to the incident when the incident happened and the fact that Dong Xuebing was Party Secretary Xie's husband.
"Secretary, I …" Zheng Fei also wanted to explain.
Xie Huilan interrupted him. "Did not do a good job? Then we will investigate now. "
"Err …" Xu Xianglin did not know how to answer Zheng Fei.
Zheng Fei understood what was going on and gritted his teeth. He lowered his stance and said. "You don't need to investigate further. Secretary Xie, this is all my fault. I was careless on the plane, and my luggage bumped into your husband. My attitude was not good, and we got into a fight. When we alighted from the plane, I accidentally bumped into Mr. Dong, and he pointed at me. I even pushed his hand away. I am the one who started it." Zheng Fei knew that even if this incident was investigated, he will be in the wrong. After all, he was the one who offended Dong Xuebing first. Also, there is no need to investigate. Secretary Xie is standing there, and there is no point in investigating.
Zheng Fei admitted defeat.
He also had to admit defeat.
Dong Xuebing had no choice as he was the Station Chief!
Dong Xuebing thought to himself. You had changed so fast. Just a while ago, you had told me not to leave today, and now you are scared of my wife?
Xie Huilan looked at Deputy Chief Zhou. "How are we going to settle this?"
Deputy Station Chief Zhou glanced at Zheng Fei. "This … cough … cough … we did not investigate clearly. Since it was Chief Zheng who started the fight, then our station must bring Chief Zheng back to investigate. Disrupting the order of the airport will result in a fine of at least 200 RMB or detention." After saying that, he looks at Dong Xuebing politely. His attitude had changed from arrogant to cautious. "Mayor Dong, about the compensation … … this is a civil dispute, and we can negotiate to a certain extent."
Dong Xuebing calmly replied. "I had told you my demands earlier. I don't care if you compensate me or not. Just apologize and bring my bag back to me!"
Zheng Fei heard Dong Xuebing's words and clenched his fist. He had no choice but to follow Dong Xuebing's instructions. He squeezed through the crowd and bent down to pick up his bag. He patted the dust off the bag and took out a napkin from his pocket to wipe it clean. After that, he passed the bag to Dong Xuebing. "Sorry Mr. Dong."
Dong Xuebing looked at him and took the luggage from him. But he did not let him off. "Your character is questionable. You are the one in the wrong, and you are still trying to make things difficult for me. Don't you think too highly of yourself? And you're still yelling at me to fight? Let me tell you, I'm afraid of everything, but I'm not afraid of others finding trouble with me, because I do things with a clear conscience, unlike some people! "
Xu Xianglin's face turned red.
Many airport staff were laughing at Zheng Fei.
Zheng Fei could only listen to what Dong Xuebing said. He was furious in his heart. This person, whom he did not even want to look at, had become the City's Party Secretary's husband. Zheng Fei could not do anything about it. He knew he had fallen for Dong Xuebing, and he knew he had fallen for Dong Xuebing. Today, he knew you can't judge a book by its cover. Sometimes, the more people were like this, the more powerful their background was. This was because they were at a different level. For officials like Zheng Fei, sometimes when he went out for an inspection, he would be eager to be surrounded by hundreds of people. This would make him look good, and it would also serve as a window to show his power and satisfy his vanity. However, the leaders of the higher ranks were all very low-key. When they went out, they hoped that no one would recognize them.
Zheng Fei heard Dong Xuebing's scolding and apologized. "I'm sorry. I was too emotional earlier. I'm in a bad mood."
Dong Xuebing waved his hand and walked over to his wife with his handbag.
Those who know Dong Xuebing will know he is a stubborn and domineering person. But those who are more familiar with Dong Xuebing will know he is a forgiving person since young. In the past, Dong Xuebing is ruthless and does not have any scruples when dealing with others. But if the other party does not admit their mistakes or overdid it, Dong Xuebing will return the favor. But if it is a small matter like today, Dong Xuebing will not pursue the matter. He is forgiving and does not care about Zheng Fei and the rest. That's why Dong Xuebing felt he is a forgiving person. He felt the most ruthless people are like his wife, Xie Huilan. She might be smiling on the surface, but she will not show any mercy to her opponents.
One is cold on the outside and warm on the inside.
The other is warm on the outside and cold on the inside.
There is a saying that husband and wife should complement each other, and this saying is true for Dong Xuebing and Xie Huilan. Their characters are totally different.
Seeing Dong Xuebing is about to leave, Xu Xianglin looks at Xie Huilan. "Secretary Xie, what do you think …"
Everyone quietened down and waited for Secretary Xie to speak. No one can say anything, and it depends on Secretary Xie's attitude.
Xie Huilan smiles. "Is it settled?"
Xu Xianglin quickly added. "Oh, we also need to apologize to your husband." He immediately bowed to Dong Xuebing. "I'm sorry, Dong … Mr. Dong. Our airport did not investigate properly and made the wrong judgment. Sorry for letting you suffer."
Deputy Chief Zhou also apologized. "I'm sorry." But he is not sincere. Xie Huilan laughed.
Xie Huilan laughed. "That's all. Can my husband and I leave now?"
Xu Xianglin cannot accept this. "Of course. Of course. I will get a car to send you both back."
Xie Huilan had driven here and ignored Xu Xianglin. She looked at Dong Xuebing and boarded an Audi out of the airport.
In the car.
Dong Xuebing threw his bag on the backseat and stretched. "It's not my first time here. I am puzzled. Do I look so easy to bully? This isn't the first time. Why does everyone want to step on me when they see me? "
Xie Huilan laughed. "You have a bad temper, and you start scolding people. It's no wonder you got into an argument with others." Dong Xuebing does not like to hear that.
"But that Zheng Fei is too infuriating. I only scolded him lightly and did not break his bones because of you. I am afraid if I hit someone on my first day here, it will be bad for my reputation. I am not worried about myself. I am afraid people will gossip about you and your husband. Just be content. If we were somewhere else, I will beat him to death!"
Xie Huilan asked. "What's wrong with the person in charge of the airport?"
Dong Xuebing laughed. "It's a coincidence. I used to live in Beijing's Heping Street. Do you know about that place? You've been there before. It's a pretty run-down district. Me, Xu Xianglin, and Xu Dong, who's his son, used to be neighbors. We lived upstairs and downstairs, and those who took the civil service exam were all together with Xu Dong. We had quite a few conflicts, but I didn't expect that the two of them would come to Xiaxing City. This time, when he saw me and Zheng Fei fighting, Xu Xianglin didn't even think about it and just wanted to teach me a lesson.
Xie Huilan started driving and looked at her watch. "Haha, I was in the middle of something, and I was puzzled when you called me. But it's not strange. I will be surprised if you stop causing trouble."
Dong Xuebing added. "I didn't want to give them your number, but they are too annoying, and I don't want to beat them up. That's why I thought you can handle this. But even if you don't come, I will not have a problem with it. I can also handle this matter well."
"Then what does my little hubby want?"
"He had already apologized. Let's see how he behaves."
"What about Xu Xianglin at the airport?"
"Whatever. I don't really care about them. They had suffered a setback this time, and they will be soft in the future. I can't even be bothered to teach them a lesson. It's a waste of my time."
Xie Huilan shook her head.
"What's wrong?" Dong Xuebing asked.
"Listen to me, alright?" Xie Huilan replied.
Dong Xuebing blinked. "What do you want?"
Xie Huilan looked at Dong Xuebing, who was driving in front. "I know you have calmed down. Your temper comes and goes quickly. But other people choose their own path, and since they had chosen it, they must pay the price for their choices and take responsibility for their mistakes. Also, I had just been promoted, and I don't have enough authority. If we let this go now, others will think we are not magnanimous and easy to bully. Are you a weak person? You are not, and I am not the same. That's why we can't let this go now. I am not done with them yet, and they came knocking on our door. Haha … furthermore, I am the only one who can mess with my little hubby. Others should ask me first. "
Dong Xuebing was speechless. "… do whatever you want. I don't mind." Dong Xuebing thought about how Xu Xianglin and Deputy Station Chief Zhou had called the City's Party Secretary and did not even know they had called him. Dong Xuebing was amused. They asked for it, and they deserve it.
Xie Huilan drove faster and took out her phone to make a few calls.
