Noon.
City Police Station.
Everyone had gone to the cafeteria for lunch. But the cafeteria was just opposite Dong Xuebing's office. Almost everyone who passed by the cafeteria subconsciously looked towards the windows of the office.
Curious.
Surprised.
Speechless.
Everyone had the same reaction.
This was because Dong Xuebing was too carefree, and no one could tell what he was thinking. He was just smiling and cooking, ignoring what others thought of him. He was not aware that he was in the police station. He was acting very self-centered.
Suddenly, a car entered the courtyard.
"Chief Chang?"
"Errr … Chief Chang."
A few of them hurriedly greeted him respectfully.
Chang Lin entered and asked. "Where is Secretary Dong?"
One of the officers replied. "He is in the office. He is … cooking."
Chang Lin's eyes widen. "Cooking? You all want Secretary Dong to cook for himself? "
The officer quickly replied. "Deputy Bureau Chief had instructed us to do so, but when someone went over to help, Secretary Dong rejected us."
Chang Lin did not say anything. He thought for a while and knew Secretary Dong was like this. But cooking for himself? Chang Lin was embarrassed. Maybe he was feeling guilty. Secretary Dong had just taken over, and they did not give him a proper welcome. Instead, they arrested him, and the officers below even hit him with a stick and pointed a gun at him. Secretary Dong was almost killed by a minibus, and the driver of that minibus was the Station Chief Hu Hanbin's friend. Chang Lin felt bad.
Chang Lin strode in and went straight to the on-call room. He calmed his breathing and knocked on the door lightly. He only knocked twice. There was a reason for this. If a subordinate were to knock on the door of his superior's room or office and press the doorbell, it would seem too casual and the person inside might not be able to hear him clearly. If he were to knock three times, it would seem too disrespectful and too hurried. Two knocks was the most important standard.
Dong Xuebing replied. "Come in."
The door was not locked, and Chang Lin entered. "Secretary Dong."
Dong Xuebing looked at Dong Xuebing. "I had said I am not appointed yet. Just call me Xuebing."
Changlin knew Dong Xuebing is just being polite, and he will be stupid if he goes along with Dong Xuebing. Sometimes, leaders' words are like this. You can't take it seriously even if it's just a casual remark.
Chang Lin looked at the two dishes and a bowl of soup on the table and pretended not to know. He asked, "Secretary Dong, you … why are you cooking personally?"
Dong Xuebing laughed. "I can't cook?"
Changlin said, "No, I was just about to treat you to a meal."
Dong Xuebing waved his hand. "Never mind. I can cook for myself at home. It will save money and effort."
"I can tell." Chang Lin smiles as he looks at the table. "I can tell your cooking is not ordinary." He took a deep breath. "It smells good." Yesterday was the first time they met, and Chang Lin did not speak much to Dong Xuebing. Today, he changed his approach slightly. Of course, this is also to test Dong Xuebing. He still does not know Dong Xuebing's temper and needs some time to get used to it.
Dong Xuebing laughed. "What do you mean it smells good? It's just some random cooking. Look at your local spicy soup. I had tried it this morning, and it's my first time cooking it. I wonder how it tastes." Dong Xuebing paused for a while and asked. "Chief Chang, you also have not eaten?"
Chang Lin replied. "I had wanted to invite you out for a meal, but …"
Dong Xuebing waved his hand. "Alright. Come, let's eat together. It's too troublesome to eat out. I had just finished copying, and the dishes are still warm."
Chang Lin hesitated. "Then I will not stand on ceremony."
"Have a seat." Dong Xuebing gestured for Chang Lin to take a bowl.
Chang Lin quickly steps forward and did not let Dong Xuebing take anything. He took the bowl and a pair of chopsticks from Dong Xuebing before sitting down.
Dong Xuebing looked at him. "Do you want to drink?"
Chang Lin was stunned. "Drink? You want to drink? I don't mind. "
Dong Xuebing points to his luggage. "I brought some Baijiu from home. If you like it, we can have a few sips. I am afraid you still have to work in the afternoon, and it might be inconvenient for you to drink."
Chang Lin agreed. "I am fine with it. I also like drinking Baijiu. I am from the North. Haha."
Dong Xuebing nodded and rummaged through his luggage. He took out a bottle of Maotai and placed it on the table. The alcohol he brought over will not be bad, and Maotai is not an ordinary Maotai. It's an aged bottle, and most of it was given to him by others.
Chang Lin knows his stuff, and his eyes brighten up. "This is a good liquor." Of course, Feng Yu did not wait for Dong Xuebing to open the bottle and poured a glass for Dong Xuebing and himself. Both of them are drinking from a large glass. Northerners usually drink from a large glass, and they seldom drink from small glasses.
"Try the dishes first."
"Ah … let me try … it's delicious."
"Really?"
"It's really delicious. The soup is delicious too. Is this your first time cooking Hu La soup? Ah … this is amazing. I feel even the Hu La soup in the provincial capital is not as good as yours. "
"Haha."
Dong Xuebing knew he is not being serious and did not mind.
At this moment, Chang Lin raised his glass and stood up. "Secretary Dong, I have to give you a toast. I'm really sorry this time. My men had eyes but failed to recognize you and caused you so much trouble. Alright, I'll drink up.
Dong Xuebing sat down and clinked his glass with Chang Lin's and emptied his glass.
Chang Lin knew what to do when he saw Dong Xuebing giving him face. This is a signal. He continued. "I had sent my men to investigate what happened yesterday, and the results are out today. The City Police Station Chief, Hu Hanbin, will be removed from his post and investigated. The rest of the officers involved will also be suspended for investigation. As for the two men in the black car, the County's Public Security Bureau had taken over their cases and detained them. There will be further investigations in the future. What do you think of this …" Dong Xuebing laughed.
"You are the Bureau Chief, and I will listen to you. You don't need to ask me." Dong Xuebing poured a glass of wine and raised it. "Let's drink."
Changlin understood that Dong Xuebing should be satisfied with this punishment and was relieved. Changlin had made up his mind to punish Dong Xuebing harshly. He was afraid Dong Xuebing will not be satisfied with this punishment. If Dong Xuebing disagrees with this punishment, Changlin will be in a passive position. That's why he decided to punish Dong Xuebing.
