Evening.
After work, Dong Xuebing returned to the County's Party Committee Quarters.
Dong Xuebing entered his apartment with his keys. He wanted to take a shower and rest. He had been thinking about how to deal with his colleagues, his subordinates, and how to deal with Lui Dafa. He felt this day is more tiring than working in Public Security for a year. Dong Xuebing is not good at using his brain, but he knows he needs to get used to it. If not, he will not be a good leader.
But when Dong Xuebing was about to take a shower, he was stunned.
He could smell a strong smell of medicine, and it stings his eyes.
Dong Xuebing slapped his forehead and remembered the cockroach infestation in his house. In the morning, he had called the security guards to deal with the cockroach infestation. Spraying cockroach repellent is too slow, and it won't solve the problem. That's why he sprayed insecticide in every corner of his house. The insecticide is effective, but the smell is too pungent. Dong Xuebing will choke to death if he sits in his room for five minutes.
Damn … I can't stay here for the next two days.
Let's go to a hotel.
Dong Xuebing took some clothes and work documents with him before driving downstairs.
To facilitate his work, Dong Xuebing drove back to the County's People's Square and found a hotel not far from the Investment Promotion Agency. It's about six to seven stories high and is not a star hotel. Dong Xuebing checked into the hotel, and it's quite clean. He checked into a room on the sixth floor and went straight to the bathroom after placing his stuff in the room.
Splash … splash … splash …
The hot bath was very enjoyable, and the fatigue all over his body was slightly alleviated.
After drying his body and walking out of the bathroom, he suddenly realized that his phone was ringing. He did not know how many times it had rung.
Dong Xuebing quickly answered. "Hello, Mayor Xie?"
"Yes. Are you still at work?" Xie Huilan laughed. "Is it convenient to talk?"
"Yes. I just got off work. What's the matter?"
"Nothing much, I just wanted to ask how your work went today, hehe."
As a member of Xie Huilan's faction, Dong Xuebing wanted to complain to Xie Huilan and get her to give him some pointers. But as a man and Xie Huilan's future husband, Dong Xuebing does not want to tell Xie Huilan that he had faced many obstacles in his career. So, Dong Xuebing pretended to be arrogant. "My job is doing well, and everything is progressing smoothly. I had started a fire, and my reputation had increased." This was the truth. Regardless of whether the blow to Lui Dafa was fatal or not, this blow was undoubtedly very crucial.
"That's good. I was worried that you wouldn't be able to adapt."
"Hey, what are you talking about? How is that possible?"
"As long as it goes smoothly." Xie Huilan paused for a second and laughed. "But you must be more careful. I heard some County leaders want to make things difficult for you. They want to take you down a notch after you take over. I think someone in your Investment Promotion Agency will step out to oppose you. That person and the County leaders are trying to make things difficult for you. You must be careful."
Dong Xuebing frowned. "Xiang Daofa and the rest? Why are they trying to pick a fight with me? "
"You don't have that much influence, right?" Xie Huilan replied. "They are targeting me."
Dong Xuebing suddenly understood. He is on Xie Huilan's faction, and his victory in the Party Committee meeting is the first time Xiang Daofa lost to Xie Huilan. That's why the conflict is between the County's Party Secretary and Mayor. If Xie Huilan's subordinates humiliate him, Xie Huilan will also be embarrassed. This is equivalent to slapping Xie Huilan's face and telling everyone that Mayor Xie does not know how to use her subordinates. The Chief she appointed cannot even control his subordinates, and this will weaken Xie Huilan's influence.
Dong Xuebing is furious. "You really think I am a pushover?"
Dong Xuebing immediately thought of Lui Dafa. Someone in the County Government must be using Lui Dafa to play chess with him. No wonder Lui Dafa was smiling in the afternoon. Someone must be behind him! F * ck! This group of brats was quite strong! Wasn't he stretching his hand a little too far? You dare to come to my Investment Promotion Agency?!
Xie Huilan asked. "What is it? Can you take it? "
Dong Xuebing replied without hesitation. "Don't worry. If I can't handle a few subordinates, I will be too ashamed to meet you."
"It's good to be confident, but don't be too optimistic. This time, there are people in the county behind this. There are people supporting you. With so much pressure on you alone …"
Dong Xuebing interrupted. "I am fine alone!"
Xie Huilan nodded. "Alright. Just call me if you need anything. Remember, this is not just about you. They are after me."
Dong Xuebing corrected. "They are coming for us!"
Xie Huilan laughed. "Haha … That's right. They are after us."
"Ok. Leave this to me." Dong Xuebing said. "I will teach anyone who dares to mess with me a lesson!" It's fine if it's his problem. But now, someone is supporting Lui Dafa to create trouble for him and even want to use this opportunity to attack Sister Xie. How can Dong Xuebing tolerate this? Xie Huilan is Dong Xuebing's favorite, and she is someone he must marry. Are you all trying to bully us?! Damn! Why should I stand on ceremony with you all?! I will let you all down! I will make sure you all cannot do anything for the rest of your lives!
After hanging up, Dong Xuebing starts to think of ways to deal with Lui Dafa.
Dong Xuebing is thinking of ways to deal with Lui Dafa. Also, he is thinking of how Lui Dafa … or the rest of the County's Party Committee will attack him.
Ring … ring … ring … Dong Xuebing's phone rang.
Dong Xuebing took out his phone. "Hello, Dong Xuebing."
"Chief, I'm Xiao Luo." Luo Haiting replied. "I had just finished working overtime in the office, and the promotional materials are ready. How are you?"
Dong Xuebing had forgotten about this. Deputy Mayor Zhao Xinglong, who is in charge of the Investment Promotion Agency, wants to read the materials tomorrow morning and might need to submit it to the County Government for discussion. This is an important matter, and Zhao Xinglong had told Dong Xuebing to look through the materials. "Alright. I will go back to the Agency."
"No, no …" Luo Haiting replied. "How can I let you make the trip? I will send the materials over to you."
Dong Xuebing wanted to ask Guo Panwei to bring the materials over, but Guo Panwei had just been appointed in the afternoon and does not know anything. If there is something wrong with the materials, Dong Xuebing will have to ask Luo Haiting to change it. "Alright. Sister Luo, thank you. Oh, I am not at the County's Party Committee Quarters. You can come to a Family Hotel on the third street of the commercial district. I will wait for you at the entrance. It is not far from the Investment Promotion Agency, and it will only take a few minutes."
Luo Haiting paused for a second and replied softly. "Alright. I will go over now."
After hanging up, Dong Xuebing dried his hair and put on his clothes before going downstairs.
After a while, a middle-aged woman approached Dong Xuebing. Luo Haiting was riding an electric bicycle and stopped in front of Dong Xuebing. After getting out of the car, Luo Haiting looked a little awkward and uncomfortable. She looked around and said hesitantly, "Chief, the document … is for you." Then she took out a stack of documents from her bag. She had made two versions of the leaflet.
Dong Xuebing was stunned. He looked at the signage of the hotel and understood why Luo Haiting is acting this way. Sigh … I am not considerate enough to ask her to come to a hotel to look for me. But you really know how to think. You're already forty years old. What can I do to you? Dong Xuebing explained. "There are cockroaches in my house, and I had asked someone to give me medicine this morning. I will be staying here for two days. Ok. Let's go to my car." Dong Xuebing felt embarrassed to ask her to go upstairs.
Luo Haiting looked at Dong Xuebing and hesitated. "It is too dark in the car. How about … we go upstairs?"
Dong Xuebing walked towards the carpark, and the street lights were not on. "Ok."
Luo Haiting followed Dong Xuebing to a room on the sixth floor of the hotel.
After entering the room, Dong Xuebing sat on the bed with the documents in his arms. He started reading the documents carefully.
Luo Haiting looked at Dong Xuebing and then looked around. She took off her coat and placed it on the chair. She smoothed her hair and sat beside Dong Xuebing with a complicated look. She looked at Dong Xuebing's side profile and then looked elsewhere. She smoothed her long hair with her fingers. She seems to be feeling uneasy.
One minute …
Five minutes …
Ten minutes …
Dong Xuebing was reading the documents and did not even look at Luo Haiting.
Luo Haiting was relieved when she saw Dong Xuebing. She knew she might have misunderstood and cockroaches might really be in Chief Dong's house.
When Luo Haiting arrived at the hotel, she thought Dong Xuebing wants to sleep with her. If it were someone else, she would not think so. After all, she is in her 40s and is not very pretty. How can a young man in his twenties like her? Luo Haiting also does not believe it, but Dong Xuebing is different. Luo Haiting had heard rumors that Dong Xuebing's housekeeper is very old, and Chief Dong likes mature women. She also remembered Dong Xuebing had asked her to come to the hotel, and Luo Haiting got the wrong idea.
Luo Haiting was thinking if Chief Dong really wants to touch her, she does not know what to do.
Luo Haiting is in her 40s, and she does not want to let someone who is about the same age as her own child do it with her. Luckily, Chief Dong does not seem to have any intention to do so.
After a while, Dong Xuebing finished reading the documents.
"Is it okay?" Luo Haiting asked.
Dong Xuebing nodded. "No problem. These two documents are good. I think we should use the first one and print a few more copies. We will send them to the County tomorrow."
"Ok."
Just when Dong Xuebing was about to leave, he heard footsteps coming from the corridor.
Knock, knock, knock! Knock, knock, knock! Dong Xuebing's room and the rooms on the sixth floor heard someone knocking on the door!
"Open the door! Police! Someone reported prostitution in the hotel! "
