Unit.
Afternoon, 4 pm.
Dong Xuebing drove his battered Xiali back slowly and parked his car downstairs. But he was not in a hurry to go upstairs. He took out a piece of paper and a pen from his bag and started to write a self-reflection letter. The letter was written with regret and promises to change for the better in the future. He will work together with his colleagues and get along well with them, etc. But in his heart, he did not take it seriously. After he finished writing, he re-read the letter and got out of the car.
Upstairs.
Dong Xuebing went to the 8th Section Chief Zhu Weiye's office to submit the self-reflection letter to his leader. He also settled the compensation for the repairs and medical expenses.
Dong Xuebing paid 70,000 RMB.
It was not too expensive.
After settling all these, Dong Xuebing returned to the Second Bureau.
… …
In the office.
When Dong Xuebing entered the office, it was chaotic.
"Aiyo, Director Dong!" Zhang Dongliang shouted.
Han Fei also stood up from the chair in surprise. "You're finally back!"
Dong Xuebing nodded to everyone and did not say a word. He was about to return to his office as it was almost time to knock off. He was thinking of watching a movie. If Dong Xuebing was bored when he watched the movie in the morning, he felt bored. But now, he felt satisfied and wanted to relax.
But this time, Han Fei and the rest did not let Dong Xuebing go back. They stopped him and kept asking him questions. Apparently, they had heard about what happened.
"What did the leader say about you?"
"Why is there no punishment?"
"How much compensation did you get?"
"This … … will it affect you?"
Dong Xuebing did not want to talk about it and waved his hand. "It's fine."
At this time, Yin Chengan heard Dong Xuebing's voice and came out. "Chief Dong, how did you settle it? Is everything settled? "
Dong Xuebing had to answer his leader. He nodded and said: "It's settled. I had written a self-reflection letter and sent it to Chief Zhu. I had also given the General Affairs Department 70,000 RMB. It is enough to repair my car. The leader did not say anything after that, and everything is fine."
Yin Chengan nodded, "That's good, that's good."
He Zhou said: "We were afraid something might happen to you and thought the leader might punish you."
"It's fine." Dong Xuebing replied casually. "It's just a small dispute between colleagues. Chief Yin, I will go back first."
Yin Chengan smiled and said, "Well, there's nothing much to do. You must have been busy today. Go back and rest. It's almost time to get off work."
Dong Xuebing replied: "Ok. Call me if there is any work."
"Don't go." Han Fei, however, did not agree. She stood in front of him and mumbled, "Director Dong, thank you for today."
Dong Xuebing asked. "Why are you thanking me?"
Han Fei said, "Anyway, it's all thanks to you for standing up for me!"
Dong Xuebing calmly replied. "I only dislike that Yang Zhen. It has nothing to do with you."
"How can it not matter? It's useless even if you're stubborn. Anyway, I'll remember this. If you need anything in the future, just say it. I'll definitely go through mountains of blades and seas of flames!" Han Fei patted her chest like a young man. Dong Xuebing and Yin Chengan were amused. "Oh, 70,000 RMB? "Dong, Dong.
Dong Xuebing nodded. "Yes."
Han Fei said anxiously, "How can I do that? How can I let you pay for it alone? This happened because of me. It's my business anyway. No, no, I have to pay at least half of it." Han Fei pondered for a moment and seemed to calculate how much money she had left. In the end, Han Fei blushed and coughed. "I've been spending a lot of money recently. I don't have that much left. Well, I'll give you 20,000 yuan tonight and return the rest to you later. You'll have to wait for me to give you a few months' salary first."
No one said anything.
Dong Xuebing looks at her. "Forget it."
"That won't do. I'll pay half!" Han Fei refused.
Dong Xuebing replied. "I am the one who knocked him and hit him. This has nothing to do with you. Why would I want your money? Hurry up and get back to work."
Han Fei glared at him and said, "You're looking down on me if you don't want it!"
Dong Xuebing smiled helplessly. "The problem is I don't want your money. It's only 70,000 RMB. I can't afford it. It's not a big deal. Alright. "
Han Fei pouted. "Your monthly salary is not much higher than mine. You are still so young, and you can only work for a few years. 70,000 RMB is still a small amount." Others and the society defined them as civil servants and cadres as wealthy. But only they knew that although their salary was higher than the average salary, it wasn't much higher. Moreover, they had to socialize and spend a lot of money. They couldn't be compared to those senior officials in private enterprises. In fact, their salary couldn't even be compared to those middle-level employees in private enterprises. Han Fei is from the Moonlight Clan, and from what she knows, Sun Zhaobang and Zhang Dongliang are about the same as her. Even if they have some savings every month, it's not more than 3,000 RMB.
The prices are rising.
The property prices are high.
Paying off the mortgage, living, and even raising children. Which part of it doesn't need money?
Money now is different from the past. It's not easy to spend, and it might be gone after a trip.
Everyone knows Dong Xuebing just had a son, and his son is still young. That's why he needs to spend more. Also, Dong Xuebing had been driving a second-hand Xiali since he started work. That's why everyone thinks Dong Xuebing, who had only worked for a few years, is not rich. If not, which Divisional level leader from the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection will drive a broken Xiali to work every day? None of them can find such a car. The worst car should be a few hundred thousand RMB. Most of the cars are mid-range cars worth 200,000 RMB. These are the mainstream cars. Even Yang Zhen's car cost 400,000 RMB.
He Zhou blinked. "How about we split it equally? I will also contribute some money. After all, this is our Second Bureau's matter. The conflict was caused by our argument."
Sun Zhaobang agreed. "That's right. Everyone should split it equally."
Seventy thousand yuan was not much if they shared it among themselves. They could all afford it.
But Dong Xuebing will not let them pay. He is someone who cares about his reputation. "Alright. What are you all talking about? I appreciate your kindness, but this has nothing to do with you all. Don't join in the fun. I had already paid you all, and that's all. Why do I need your money?" It's only 70,000 RMB, and Dong Xuebing felt it was too cheap to buy a watch. It's not worth it.
Han Fei did not agree. "But …"
"No buts. That's it." Dong Xuebing said.
Seeing Director Dong is so stubborn, Han Fei did not say anything. She also knows she does not have enough money, and she can only ask her parents for money. But she cannot bring herself to ask Dong Xuebing. "Then … I will treat you to dinner tonight! You must not reject this invitation. We had invited you to dinner many times since you were appointed, and you had not attended all the dinners. You are always busy, and you are always busy. This time, I must treat you. If you don't go, you are not giving me face! "Director Dong had helped them vent their anger, and Han Fei must show her gratitude.
Sun Zhaobang laughed. "That's right. Director Dong, you had been appointed for many days, but we still have not had a proper meal together. Since Xiao Fei said so, you …"
Dong Xuebing thought for a while and felt he had been too low profile when he joined the Bureau, and he did not pay attention to his relationships. Now, he can no longer keep a low profile, and he doesn't mind. He looked at Han Fei and said. "Alright. But how can I let you treat me? This is the first time I am here, and I must be the one treating."
Han Fei shouted. "Me! Me!"
Dong Xuebing laughed. "Then I will not be going."
"Ah … why are you like this?" Han Fei was speechless. "Alright. You can treat this time, and I will treat the next time. No one can snatch this meal from me!"
Dong Xuebing looked at Yin Chengan. "Director Yin, can I have the honor to invite you for dinner tonight?"
Yin Chengan laughed. "What honor? If there is a dinner, I must go. My wife is coming back late, and I am still worried about dinner."
Dong Xuebing asked. "Where are we going? I also don't know if there are any good restaurants nearby. "
Dong Xuebing had just spent 70,000 RMB, and Yin Chengan should be worried about him. He said. "Sigh … … Xuebing, I heard your wife is not in Beijing. Why don't we go to your place for dinner? Let's buy some groceries and cook ourselves. It will be more comfortable, right? "
Han Fei clapped her hands. "That's right. I will cook for you all!"
He Zhou laughed. "I can also cook scrambled eggs with tomatoes. This is the only dish I know."
Dong Xuebing hesitated for a while. "My place … …"
Yin Chengan looked at him. "Not convenient? Then … … "
"Not really." Dong Xuebing thought for a while and said. "Alright. But my house is slightly far. It is around the West Third Loop, and it will take about half an hour to get there."
Yin Chengan replied. "That's fine."
"Ok." Dong Xuebing said. "I will leave earlier to buy groceries."
Zhang Dongliang volunteered. "No need. I will go and wait for you all at the entrance. There is a supermarket nearby, and it's very convenient." Dong Xuebing cannot let the leader go personally. He is the lowest rank in the Second Bureau, and he can do it for him.
After discussing, dinner was set.
Dong Xuebing and Yin Chengan returned to their respective offices.
Han Fei, Sun Zhaobang, and the rest were discussing softly outside.
"Do you all think Director Dong has such a powerful background?" Han Fei asked.
"Of course. If not, why did the higher-ups not give him any disciplinary action?" He Zhou replied.
"But … … he doesn't look like it. Also, how come I have never heard of him? I know all those second-generation officials in Beijing. "Han Fei's status is also not ordinary.
He Zhou calmly replied. "Sometimes, this kind of person will have a powerful background. Also, your father knows him. If your father knows him, he should not be an ordinary person."
Han Fei was extremely curious and said, "I'll ask my dad again later. He won't tell me anything. Really, is there a need to be so secretive?"
