It was already past twelve o 'clock in the morning.
Hui Tian Village Police Station. Dong Xuebing looked at Xiang Chengdong in the interrogation room and shouted. "Molesting a woman, assault, extortion. Xiang Chengdong, you should know what these crimes are. I won't waste any more time with you. You should pay for Da Leng's sister's family's medical fees as soon as possible. Hmm, including the psychological damage, it should be 50,000 yuan. After you pay, you can leave. This will be considered a private settlement. "
Xiang Chengdong stared at Dong Xuebing angrily. "Just you wait!"
Dong Xuebing looked at him. "You are not going to compensate me?"
Xiang Chengdong snorted coldly and picked up the phone to call someone.
Dong Xuebing replied. "If you are not going to compensate me, you can just stay here. Let me tell you, no one can help you!"
After a while, Dong Xuebing's phone rang, and it was Secretary Zhou. He walked out of the interrogation room and answered.
Secretary Zhou shouted angrily. "Dong Xuebing! What are you trying to do?! Ah?! "
Dong Xuebing replied in disgust. "Stop shouting at me. You are the one who asked me to solve this problem, and you are also the one who doesn't want to solve this problem. Why don't you ask Xiang Chengdong to leave? He is drunk, and I have to listen to him? Is he the one who opened the station? Fine. He can't leave even if he wants to. The victim's family is going to sue him in court, and they are in the hospital now. "
Secretary Zhou roared. "Release him now!"
Dong Xuebing replied furiously. "Secretary Zhou, are you trying to set me up? The victim was beaten up by Xiang Chengdong, and if I don't give an explanation to the victim's family, what will my colleagues think of me? What will the people think of me? Are you trying to frame me for being unjust?! I had told you to mediate this matter, and it won't end up like this. Fine. It's useless to say anything now. I can only do what I have to do. "
After hanging up, Dong Xuebing did not enter the room and continued to wait outside.
Ring … ring … ring … Dong Xuebing's phone rang again. This time, it was Liang Chengpeng. "You arrested Secretary Xiang's relative?"
Dong Xuebing nodded. "Molesting a woman, assault, and extortion. I had to arrest him even if I don't want to."
Liang Chengpeng frowned. "How did this happen?"
Secretary Zhou woke me up in the middle of the night and asked me to go to Hui Tian Village to settle Xiang Chengdong's case. He said Party Secretary Xiang's relative was beaten up. But when I went over, it was not what he said. Xiang Chengdong had beaten up one of our station's relatives. One of them was disfigured, and the other had a bone fracture. I gave Secretary Zhou some face and asked Xiang Chengdong to go back. But Xiang Chengdong did not allow the injured to go to the hospital and even demanded compensation. What do you think he is doing? "
"But you don't have to go so far as to arrest people."
"That's right. That's why I called Secretary Zhou and asked him to persuade Xiang Chengdong not to blow up this matter. But Secretary Zhou scolded me for not doing my job well and insisted on letting the victim pay the compensation. Chief Liang, do you think he is doing this on purpose? If I really did that, wouldn't the commoners criticize me? "
Liang Chengpeng sighed. "Secretary Zhou … is too young."
Dong Xuebing replied. "I am doing this for Party Secretary Xiang's sake. If we don't arrest those people and let Xiang Chengdong continue to spout nonsense, it will affect Party Secretary Xiang's reputation. I want to make Xiang Chengdong compensate the victims a few tens of thousands of RMB, and we will let them go."
Liang Chengpeng knew Dong Xuebing might have gone overboard in handling this incident, but he did not do anything wrong. Secretary Zhou was too arrogant and did not consider the people and Chief Dong's reaction. He only cares about Party Secretary Xiang and his relatives. But this is not the way to curry favor with the leaders. If Dong Xuebing had asked the victims to pay the compensation, Party Secretary Xiang will be furious.
God of Plague, Xiao Dong. This nickname is really appropriate.
Liang Chengpeng shook his head helplessly. Whenever Dong Xuebing is involved, there will be endless trouble. Although Dong Xuebing had handled this incident well, Party Secretary Xiang will not appreciate his help. On the contrary, regardless of whether Dong Xuebing arrested those people or not, Party Secretary Xiang will still hate him. This is unreasonable.
In the next two hours, no one called Dong Xuebing.
Dong Xuebing crossed his legs and smoked in the interrogation room, checking his phone from time to time.
Xiang Chengdong had almost sobered up, and he got anxious when he saw his cousin, Xiang Daofa, and Secretary Zhou had stopped talking.
Dong Xuebing looked at him. "Have you made up your mind? Your friends had agreed to pay for the medical and psychological damages. Now, you are the only one left. "
At 3 am, Xiang Chengdong could not take it anymore and called his family to send the money over.
Since Dong Xuebing had beaten him up and asked for money, he did not make things difficult for him and released him. Er Leng had gone to the hospital to take care of his Second Uncle and sister, while Da Leng was still waiting at the station. Dong Xuebing found him and gave him the 80,000 RMB he got from Xiang Chengdong and his friends. "This is their compensation. Take it and use it to pay for your sister's treatment."
Da Leng looked at the stack of money and thanked Dong Xuebing. "Thank you! Thank you! "
Dong Xuebing patted Da Leng's shoulder. "Go back and rest early."
Da Leng is not a good talker, and he will remember Dong Xuebing's kindness.
The rest of the officers in the station were also touched by this incident. Everyone felt Chief Dong is different from other leaders. If it is someone else, they will not offend the Party Secretary's family for a subordinate's relative. Even an idiot can tell who is more important. But Chief Dong had done this, and he is very thorough. This made everyone feel safe working for a leader like him.
… …
The next afternoon.
The sun was high in the sky, and the room was warm.
Dong Xuebing had returned home late last night, and when he opened his eyes, the clock was already at 12 o 'clock. He put on his slippers and got out of bed. He took out his phone from his bag and saw two missed calls. Both were from Deputy Bureau Chief Qin Yong. Dong Xuebing immediately called back. He had a better understanding of what happened last night. Qin Yong told him that everything is fine at the Public Security Bureau, and the County's Party Committee did not make any moves. But Dong Xuebing knew Xiang Daofa will settle scores with him in the future. Even if nothing happens now, Xiang Daofa will settle scores with him in the future.
Dong Xuebing will deal with whatever comes his way!
Dong Xuebing had been scolded by Xiang Daofa last night, and he had to pay him back on the same night. No matter what, Dong Xuebing is in a good mood. He hummed a few songs and can't be bothered to think too much. He took his bag and went downstairs to get something to eat.
Dong Xuebing could hear some people chatting in the courtyard.
"Have you heard? The new Mayor is here. "
"What's there to hear? I saw it. The City's Organization Department Head had sent her here personally, and the car had just passed by our house."
"The Acting Mayor is from the Central Publicity Department? Is she really a woman? "
"Yes. I think the person in the backseat is Mayor Xie. That face …" Dong Xuebing said.
The two family members saw Chief Dong walking towards them, and they immediately shut their mouths and pretended to talk about something else. After all, it is a taboo to talk about the leaders behind their backs. Dong Xuebing's hearing is good, and he heard something. He got excited and wanted to go over to ask them, but he is not familiar with them. Suddenly, Dong Xuebing's Office Director, Hu Silian, appeared in the corridor next door.
Dong Xuebing laughed. "Director Hu, are you free today?"
Hu Silian smiled. "No. I am going home for lunch and am about to return to the Bureau."
"Oh, get in my car. I will send you there."
Hu Silian smiled. "Thank you, Chief Dong. I won't stand on ceremony."
But when Hu Silian saw Dong Xuebing boarding the Mercedes MPV parked not far from the building, she was stunned. She followed Dong Xuebing and sat in the front passenger seat. She looks around enviously. "Last night, my husband asked me whose Mercedes belongs to downstairs. So, you had changed your car?" Hu Silian was impressed by Chief Dong's generosity. He can spend over a million RMB at one go, and his family is very wealthy.
Dong Xuebing waved his hand. "I can't afford it. This is my friend's car, and I am borrowing it."
Hu Silian smiled and did not say anything. She knows this is an excuse.
Dong Xuebing stepped on the accelerator and asked. "I heard the Mayor is here?"
Hu Silian has more sources of information than Dong Xuebing. She laughed and nodded. "I arrived about an hour ago. I had gone to the County's Party Committee with Chief Liang and the rest. Now, Mayor Xie, the County's Party Committee leaders, and the City's Organization Department Head should be having a banquet. My rank is not high enough, so I went home for lunch. Oh, Chief Liang asked me to inform you that the County will hold a meeting at 3 pm to announce the Mayor's appointment."
Dong Xuebing laughed. "I am still a criminal, and I will not go."
Hu Silian had also heard about what happened last night and knew Chief Dong had offended Party Secretary Xiang again. She could not remember how many leaders Chief Dong had offended. Hu Yiguo, Zhao Jingsong, Yu Zhengzhi, Qian Shen, Chang Lei. Hu Silian smiled and replied. "To be honest, Chief Dong, you are the most special leader I have ever met. You are also the leader I respect the most." Most of her words were from the bottom of her heart.
Dong Xuebing quickly shook his head. "Haha … I am not a good person."
Hu Silian replied in a serious tone. "Actually, many people in the lower ranks are full of praises for you. It is rare to see a leader like you who is not afraid of power."
Dong Xuebing replied. "This is not called not afraid of power. This is called political intellect. If I carry on like this, I will offend all the leaders in the Province."
Hu Silian laughed. She knew what Chief Dong said was true. But from the County's Party Committee Secretary to the County's Public Security Bureau Leader, Dong Xuebing had offended all of them, and yet, he is still the Deputy Bureau Chief. This shows how capable Chief Dong is. If it were someone else who had offended so many leaders, he or she would have been removed or transferred to a department without any benefits.
After sending Hu Silian back to the Public Security Bureau, Dong Xuebing went to a random restaurant to have dinner.
After dinner, Dong Xuebing called Xie Huilan. But after two rings, she hangs up.
Dong Xuebing knew Sister Xie must be having dinner or discussing something, and it is not convenient for her to talk. So, he did not call her again.
2.40 pm.
Party Committee Meeting Room.
Yan Tai County's leaders had arrived, and Dong Xuebing does not know many of them. Other than the leaders from the Public Security Bureau, he does not know the rest of the leaders. But Dong Xuebing noticed that everyone seems to know him. Some of them will look at Dong Xuebing when they are talking, and some even point at him. But not many of them went up to Dong Xuebing to greet him.
Dong Xuebing knew he is not well-liked and found a place to sit.
Ten minutes later, the City's Organization Department Head Ci, County's Party Secretary Xiang Daofa, and the rest entered the meeting room and sat in the first row. Many of them had not met Mayor Xie before, and they craned their necks to look at her. There are not many women among the leaders in the County's Party Committee, and everyone saw an unfamiliar face. Many people took a deep breath, and even some of the older leaders frowned.
Why is she so beautiful?!
This is the question that popped up in everyone's mind!
Mayor Xie's hair is tied up in a bun, and she is wearing a white shirt, black trousers, and black high heels. Her beautiful face is dazzling, and her eyes are smiling. She looks dignified, and even when she is sitting there, she can give off an invisible pressure. Her stiff expression and attire make her look like an elegant woman.
This is the new Mayor?!
Everyone looked at each other speechlessly and don't know what to say.
There are very few female government officials in China, and there are even fewer beautiful ones. Hu Silian is considered one of the prettiest women in the government. But compared to Mayor Xie, she is still a far cry. This new Mayor is too beautiful.
Xiang Daofa frowned as he listened to the discussions in the meeting room. He does not understand why the higher-ups sent someone like her. Although he is impressed by Mayor Xie's beauty, he does not want to team up with her. If possible, Xiang Daofa would prefer an experienced leader to be the second in command.
The meeting started.
First, Minister Ci from the City's Organization Department announced her appointment. From today onwards, Xie Huilan will be the Acting Mayor of Yan Tai County. If Xie Huilan wants to be removed from this position, she will have to wait until tomorrow's National People's Congress to appoint her. Following that, Minister Ci represented the City's Party Committee to give a speech. There is nothing new, and it is the same as before. Unity and keeping up with the Central Government. In the end, Minister Ci commented on Mayor Xie. She is a united comrade, reliable, articulate, and mature in terms of thinking and politics.
Minister Ci's speech had become the norm, and it is Xie Huilan's turn to speak.
Xie Huilan walked up to the podium and smiled. She thanked the County's Party Committee for their trust and the County's leaders for welcoming her. She will work together with the County's Party Secretary and the support of the 4 Team Leaders. She will continue to work hard. Although Xie Huilan's words are rustic, her voice is very pleasant to listen to and has a magnetic charm to it. In addition, Xie Huilan's outstanding looks and temperament made everyone enjoy listening to her. She is completely different from Minister Ci's listless manner when she speaks.
Dong Xuebing is clapping so hard that his palms are almost red from clapping.
Twenty minutes later, the meeting ended, and the County's Party Committee meeting will be held next.
All the leaders left the meeting and walked out of the meeting room. Qin Yong also found Dong Xuebing and walked out of the meeting room together. Xie Huilan is chatting with Xiang Daofa, and Dong Xuebing stopped to look at Xie Huilan, who he had not met for a while. But Xie Huilan did not even look at him. She turned around and shook hands with a few leaders.
Qin Yong laughed and pulled Dong Xuebing. "Let's go?"
Dong Xuebing returned to his senses.
After leaving the County's Party Committee Office Building, Qin Yong laughed. "I took a taxi here and did not drive. If it is on the way, can I give you a lift?"
"Sure."
Qin Yong saw Dong Xuebing's Mercedes-Benz MPV from a distance. Even the County's Party Secretary's car cannot be compared to Dong Xuebing, let alone the other leaders' cars. Many senior leaders frowned when they saw Dong Xuebing's car. Qin Yong thought Dong Xuebing was driving a Buick MPV and smiled at Dong Xuebing. Qin Yong rubbed the center of his brows. How many people in Yan Tai County are more daring than Chief Dong?
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Dong Xuebing nonchalantly entered the car.
Qin Yong had no choice but to follow Dong Xuebing.
After the car drove out of the County's Party Committee, Qin Yong said. "Mayor Xie is outstanding. I think only Brother Dong's helper can be compared to her."
Dong Xuebing was pleased to hear Sister Xie being praised. "Sister Yu cannot be compared to Mayor Xie. She is not as elegant."
"Oh." Qin Yong asked softly. "Mayor Xie has connections."
Dong Xuebing had mentioned Xie Huilan's name at Qin Yong's place yesterday, and Qin Yong knew Dong Xuebing might have heard of Xie Huilan's background. But Dong Xuebing did not tell him. "I am not sure. But to be able to reach the grassroots level and is a Divisional Chief at such a young age, she must have connections with the higher-ups." Everyone in the government has connections with the higher-ups. Some have connections, and some have connections.
Not only Qin Yong, Xiang Daofa, and some other County's Party Committee leaders also do not know about Xie Huilan's background. If she is from the City or Provincial Government, it will be fine. But the Central Government is too far away, and no one can reach her. Furthermore, Xie Huilan had been keeping a low profile in the Central Publicity Department. Other than Dong Xuebing, no one in Yan Tai County or even the City knows Xie Huilan is the daughter of Beijing City Party Secretary Xie Guobang.
