Afternoon.
At the unit.
Yang Zhen was also waiting for the higher-ups to punish Dong Xuebing in his department. But there was no reply. He was getting impatient and looked at his watch. Half a day had passed. He called to send his car for repairs and went to Chief Zeng's office.
Knock, knock.
"Come in."
"Chief Zeng."
"Xiao Yang, are your injuries still painful?"
"Thank you for your concern. I am feeling better now."
"Ok. I am sorry for making you suffer this time. Don't worry. I will give you an answer. Our people from the General Affairs Department are not to be bullied!"
"Thank you, Chief Zeng."
"Oh, why is there no news of punishment?"
"That's right. I am also wondering. It's been a long time."
"Ok. Have a seat first. I will make a call to ask."
Yang Zhen did not sit down. He could not wait any longer. Now, he does not even dare to step out of the General Affairs Department. It was because no matter who he met on the streets, they will look at him strangely. Yang Zhen felt embarrassed. He was sent flying by a kick, and his car had to be repaired. He felt embarrassed. If he does not get back at the higher-ups, he would lose all his face.
Zeng Ming made the call, but he didn't call the leader. Instead, he called Deputy Director Zhou's secretary. "Hello, I'm Zeng Ming … Yes … Chief Zhou is in his office? Is he busy? … … Oh … … I want to ask about Dong Xuebing's punishment … … Yes … … What happened? What? " Zeng Ming paused. "… … It is not about the repair fees. I am talking about the punishment … … No? Just a remorse letter? How come … … Are you sure you are not mistaken? … … Ok … … I know. Chief Zhou is free now? … … Yes … … I will go over now … … Yes … … Help me inform him! "
After hanging up, Zeng Ming's face changed.
Yang Zhen also heard what Zeng Ming said. His face changed. "Chief Zeng, what happened?"
Zeng Ming banged the table. "How do I know? How come Dong Xuebing is not punished? He is only asked to compensate for the repair fees and write a remorse letter?!"
Yang Zhen was stunned. "This … …"
Ceng Ming, who was in a fit of anger, immediately said, "I'll go to Chief Zhou's place!"
This was a fight between the Second Corps and the General Affairs Department. This also concerned Zeng Ming's reputation. Zeng Ming had lost to Yin Chengan in the fight for the position of the Second Corps Chief a long time ago. Now, the Second Corps' men had beaten up the General Affairs Department's men, and they did not even give them an explanation? Ceng Ming also couldn't take this lying down!
Deputy Director's office.
Zeng Ming arrived in a minute.
"Chief Zhou!" Zeng Ming rushed in angrily. "What's the meaning of this? He had been beaten up, and his car had been wrecked! Not even a single action? "
Zhou Dai looks at Dong Xuebing. "I had asked Dong Xuebing to compensate for Yang Zhen's losses."
Zeng Ming replied angrily. "This is not considered a punishment. How are we going to answer to everyone?"
Zhou Dai seemed to have forgotten that Dong Xuebing had talked back to him. He changed his attitude and said. "It's just a conflict between colleagues. Chief Zhu said it's not a big deal, and we should settle this internally. If this matter blows up, it will not be good for our Eighth Corps. The leader had already decided, and this matter should end here. I know your colleagues from the General Affairs Department might have suffered, but Old Zeng, you must look at the big picture. "
Zeng Ming was stunned. "Chief Zhu had decided?"
"Yes." Zhou Dai said. "That's why you don't need to look for the higher-ups. The outcome is set, and there will not be any changes. Just take care of your men's emotions. The big picture is more important."
Zeng Ming took a deep breath. "Chief Zhou, can you tell me more? Is that Dong Xuebing … …"
Zhou Dai's relationship with Zhou Dai was quite good. They had worked together for many years, and the General Affairs Department had been very cooperative with him. Zhou Dai looked at Ceng Ming and said. "That newcomer, Dong Xuebing, is not simple. This is all I know. I don't know anything else."
Zeng Ming was stunned. "Chief Zhu … …"
Zhou Dai said. "Chief Zhu cannot punish him."
"… I understand." Ceng Ming's anger seemed to have disappeared, and he completely calmed down.
Zhou Dai said: "Go back and do your job with the General Affairs Department. That's all." Dong Xuebing had argued with him earlier, and Zhou Dai does not have a good impression of Dong Xuebing. He wants to punish Dong Xuebing more severely. Zhou Dai was the one who suggested punishing Dong Xuebing, and he also wants to teach Dong Xuebing a lesson. But Director Zhu's attitude told Zhou Dai that this young man is different. He might even have a special identity. This type of person is common in the Central Government's ministries and departments. Even Zhu Weiye, who is close to the higher-ups, did not touch Dong Xuebing, and Zhou Dai can't do anything about it.
Zeng Ming also knew that this Dong Xuebing might have a powerful background. If not, Zhou Dai and he would have heard of him.
Does he look like a nobody?
Does he look ordinary?
No one knows about him even after asking around?
Others might not take this kind of person seriously, but Ceng Ming had been in the system for so many years, so how could he not know? He knew that the more mysterious a person was, the more powerful their background was. It was not that they could not find out or understand the other party's background, but that the other party's background might be too powerful. It was not something that people at Ceng Ming and Zhou Dai's level could come into contact with and know.
… …
Room 8.
General Affairs Department.
Zeng Ming returned slowly.
Yang Zhen was the first to greet him. "Chief Zeng."
The rest of the staff from the General Affairs Department also looked at Yang Zhen. They were also the ones who had argued with the Second Bureau. That's why they were concerned about this matter.
Zeng Ming did not say anything and called Yang Zhen to his office. After closing the door, he said to Yang Zhen: "The higher-ups had made the decision. It's Chief Zhu's orders."
Yang Zhen was furious: "Then Dong Xuebing … …"
Zeng Ming said: "He is not an ordinary person. Even Chief Zhou does not know about this matter. Only Chief Zhu knows about it."
Yang Zhen does not believe him: "How is he not an ordinary person? He had beaten someone up, and he still thinks he is in the right? How come he is not even given a punishment? "
"I also just found out about this. This matter is not as simple as we thought." Zeng Ming was also furious. But there was nothing he could do. "I heard that even Chief Zhu does not want to punish him."
Yang Zhen stared at Zeng Ming: "How is this possible?!"
"That's about it." Zeng Ming sighed.
Ceng Ming very quickly understood the situation, so even if he suppressed his anger, he admitted it and did not continue to pursue the matter. He would remember this debt, and it would not be too late to settle it in the future, because he knew that the organization was a place with crouching tigers and hidden dragons. People with some background were not people ordinary people could afford to offend. But Zeng Ming knew it's never too late to take revenge. But Yang Zhen could not accept it. He was still young and was not as mature as Zeng Ming.
Yang Zhen was furious. He replied to Zeng Ming and walked out of the office. Yang Zhen did not say a word to his colleagues and walked out of the General Affairs Office. He walked to the end of the corridor and took out his phone. He started to look through the contact list.
Chief Liu?
Secretary Zheng?
Uncle Lu?
After searching for a while, Yang Zhen finally found a Deputy Minister of the highest rank. Of course, this person was not someone he could meet. This Deputy Minister was friends with his father, and Yang Zhen had known him since young. Yang Zhen should not look for this Deputy Minister directly and should at least ask his father. But Yang Zhen had been tortured by Dong Xuebing, and he did not want his family to know about this. That's why he did not care if it was appropriate or not. He just dialed the number. Ring … ring … ring … ring … ring … the line got through after 4 to 5 rings.
"Hello, Xiao Zhen?" It was an old man's voice on the other end.
Yang Zhen immediately replied: "Uncle Fang, it's me."
The old man laughed. "What's wrong? Your father is looking for me for dinner? He might not be free today. "
Yang Zhen paused for a second. "No … Uncle Fang … … I … … I was beaten up in the office!"
"Huh? What happened? "The old man paused." Tell me slowly. Don't be anxious. "
"It's like this." Yang Zhen was filled with grievances. He was too aggrieved. He immediately told his father's old friend everything, "Uncle Fang, you have to uphold justice for me!"
"This is too much!" The old man was furious. "Have you told your father?"
"No. I called you earlier." Yang Zhen replied. "This is too much!"
"This is too much. He crashed into your car and beat someone up. What's wrong with him? Is he still the Commission for Discipline Inspection? "The old man was not happy." What did your leader say? "
Yang Zhen replied. "My leader did not punish him and asked him to compensate us."
"Huh? He did not punish him? "The old man was stunned.
"No. He only wrote a reflection letter for compensation, and that's it." Yang Zhen replied.
The old man was puzzled. "This should not be the case. Oh, what's that person's name?"
Yang Zhen replied. "His name is Dong Xuebing. He was transferred over last month."
The old man was stunned. "Dong Xuebing? It's him? Is he an ordinary-looking young man in his mid-twenties? "
Yang Zhen was stunned. "Yes. Do you know him?"
The old man kept quiet for a while and sighed. "Why did he go to your unit? I don't know him, but I have heard of him. Xiao Zhen, it's not that I don't want to help you, but it's out of my power. "
"How can this be? You …" Yang Zhen panics.
The old man replied. "There are some things that I can't tell you. But that Dong Xuebing is not someone you can offend. Try to avoid him. If you push him too far, he will do anything. Also, in Beijing, no one dares to touch him. Remember what your Uncle Fang said. Forget it."
