Next morning.
Da Feng County, Rui He Hotel.
Dong Xuebing, who had just woken up in a bath towel, is smoking a cigarette. He thought for a while before switching on his phone. He wants to know the County's attitude towards him. In the past, Dong Xuebing will switch off his phone before he goes out to do evil things. This is not only because he is afraid of being scolded, but he also does not want to offend anyone. Xie Huilan is still fine as she is one of his people. But Secretary Cao might call Dong Xuebing and order him to return, and Dong Xuebing refuses.
Ring, ring, ring … Dong Xuebing's phone rang after a few seconds.
It's from the Investment Promotion Agency, and Dong Xuebing answered. "Hello …"
"Chief." Luo Haiting is on the other end of the line.
Dong Xuebing snubbed his cigarette. "What's the situation in the County? What did Mayor Zhao and Mayor Xie say? Did they scold me? "
"… I don't think so."
"Eh? What happened? "
They did not scold me? No!
Luo Haiting laughed. "Mayor Zheng, who is in charge of the Investment Promotion Agency, had called yesterday to reprimand our County for you going to Da Feng County. Mayor Xie is furious and retorted to Mayor Zheng. After that, Mayor Xie ordered the Health Department and Fire Department to seal up Peng Kenong's teahouse. This time, the teahouse will not be opened within a month, and the fines were increased. But … the City and Provincial Government did not do anything after that."
Xie Huilan is furious?
She retorted to the City Leaders? Seal up the teahouse?
After listening to Luo Haiting, Dong Xuebing was stunned. He knew something serious had happened yesterday, and Xie Huilan must be the one who settled Zheng Shizhang's matter. If not, there will be more news. "What is the County's decision now? They want me to return? "
"Errr … the County did not give any instructions and did not ask you to return."
No instructions? His attitude was rather subtle.
Dong Xuebing paused for a while. "I know. That's all. Keep an eye on the Investment Promotion Agency. I will not be back this week."
After hanging up, Dong Xuebing calmed himself down. Xie Huilan had helped him to clear all the obstacles from the higher-ups. If he does not make Da Feng County bleed, he will not be able to face Sister Xie's anger. The County's Leaders' silence should be a sign of approval. Dong Xuebing suddenly thought of another possibility. Is Huilan trying to establish her dominance by acting so fiercely this time? Yan Tai County's "adaptation period" is over? Is Xie Huilan going to start governing?
I won't let my imagination run wild.
I'll do what I have to do!
In the morning.
Dong Xuebing adjusted his collar and walked out of the room. He pressed the elevator button.
A moment later, the elevator door opened and two familiar faces appeared. It was Li Feng and his secretary, Wang Bo.
Dong Xuebing blinked. "Oh, Mayor Li, Secretary Wang. Good morning."
Li Feng's face changed when he saw Dong Xuebing. Yesterday, he had called the higher-ups and wanted to use the City Government to chase Dong Xuebing out of the County and force Yan Tai County to punish him. But Yan Tai County's Leaders are furious. Not only did they challenge Deputy Mayor Zheng, but they also sealed up the teahouse with the Provincial Leaders' Secretary. In the end, when Li Feng contacted Zheng Shizhang that night, Zheng Shizhang's attitude suddenly changed. He said a few bureaucratic words and let go of this matter. This made Li Feng's heart slightly shiver. Is the city not going to deal with this matter? They are going to let that Dong Xuebing do whatever he wants in our County?
Li Feng was truly enraged!
The teahouse was sealed up again, and Peng Kenong kept calling him for help. But what can Li Feng do? That teahouse is within Yan Tai County's jurisdiction, and the local government does not give any face to the Provincial Leaders' Secretary. Li Feng can only call the Provincial Government to ask for help, but he cannot ask the Provincial Government to intervene. Li Feng does not have the authority to do so. There are rumors that he is related to a Provincial Leader, but only Li Feng and a few people know that the Provincial Leader is not related to him. It's the Provincial Leader's Secretary. That's why Yan Tai County did this to Li Feng!
The City Government is not going to do anything about this?
Then I will settle this myself!
Li Feng is a strong-willed person. He had snatched Yan Tai County's project and refused to apologize for the diving incident. That's why he is furious after this incident. An Investment Promotion Agency Chief from another County dares to not give him face? How dare he create trouble in our County?! You must be tired of living!
In the elevator.
Li Feng ignored Dong Xuebing.
Secretary Wang Bo saw Dong Xuebing and stared at him. He did not wait for Dong Xuebing and pressed the elevator door.
Dong Xuebing had no intention of going up. This elevator is going up, and he had pressed the button for both buttons. Dong Xuebing snorted when he saw their attitude. How dare they not even greet him?!
The elevator door closed, and Li Feng's eyes turned cold. "Call Sun Pengpeng! Get the Public Security Bureau to keep an eye on him! Watch him 24/7! "
Wang Bo was stunned. Secretly watch a Section Chief?! Is this … But this is a critical period, and many foreign businessmen and local businessmen are gathered here. There are also many media reporters, and it will be troublesome if Dong Xuebing causes any trouble. The investment fair must not go wrong. Wang Bo gritted his teeth and called Public Security Bureau's Deputy Bureau Chief Sun Pengpeng. He is in charge of this investment fair's security.
On the other side.
Dong Xuebing waited for the elevator to arrive and took it to the lobby. But to his surprise, he did not see any investors in the lobby. Only the staff and security guards were looking at him. Da Feng County's people must have said something to them. Dong Xuebing thought for a while and understood. Yesterday was the time for the investors to check in, and today is the official opening of the investment fair. The County's leaders and investors' representatives should be giving speeches at the auditorium on the top floor, and Li Feng should be there.
Dong Xuebing did not go upstairs and went out for lunch.
Dong Xuebing had spoken to the investors in front of Li Feng and Da Feng County's leaders yesterday because he wanted to piss them off. Although he is impulsive, he still knows the rules. That's why he will not go to the auditorium on the top floor to create a ruckus.
After lunch, Dong Xuebing drove around the county town.
Suddenly, he frowned and looked at the rearview mirror. A Beijing Hyundai entered his sight. This car had been following him since he left the hotel. Ordinary people might not notice it as this car is not following him closely. Sometimes, there are one or two cars in between them. But Dong Xuebing had worked in the Public Security and State Security before, and he is very vigilant.
Following me?!
Dong Xuebing turned the corner and arrived at Rui He Hotel. He stepped on the brakes and alighted!
The Hyundai slowed down and was about to turn right. But Dong Xuebing had blocked the front of the car, and the Hyundai was forced to stop. There were two people in the car. One was in his thirties, and the other was in his late twenties. Dong Xuebing had been in the Public Security system for a long time, and he could tell that these two should be police officers.
This Da Feng County!
How dare you send people to spy on me?! Do you think I am a criminal?!
Dong Xuebing is furious. Even if he wants to spy on a criminal, he must get approval from the higher-ups. Supervising me?! There will be no approval from the higher-ups! Damn! Da Feng County must be crazy!
"Alight!" Dong Xuebing opened the door.
The person in the front passenger seat stared at Dong Xuebing coldly. "What's the meaning of this? Why are you blocking our car?! Can't you see I am turning right?! "
Dong Xuebing sneered. "You had been following me all the way here! You are quite reasonable! "
That young man replied. "Following you?! Only you can walk on this road, and not us?! Does your family own this place?! "
"Heh … Not bad!" Dong Xuebing narrowed his eyes, but there is no evidence, and he can't say anything. He points at them. "I will remember your faces. If you dare, continue to follow me."
The young man laughed. "Why are you talking to yourself? Are you crazy? "
They had received orders from the higher-ups and know this is against the rules. That's why they will never admit to it. But when Dong Xuebing alighted from the car and walked towards them, they were stunned. Didn't they say this person is an Investment Promotion Agency's leader? How come he still noticed us despite us being so careful? Since when did the Investment Promotion Agency's anti-surveillance ability become so strong?
A few people walked out from the hotel behind.
The leader is a middle-aged balding man in a police uniform. He should be the County's Public Security Deputy Bureau Chief. "What happened?"
The two young officers alighted from the car. "Chief Sun, we had just returned from our patrol, and this man stopped us and claimed we were tailing him!"
Sun Pengpeng frowned and looks at them. How can they not handle such a small matter?
Dong Xuebing looks at them. "Chief Sun? Deputy Chief Sun Pengpeng? I have heard so much about you. "
Sun Pengpeng laughed. "I should be the one who has heard of Chief Dong's name in the Public Security Bureau." Sun Pengpeng only knows a little about Dong Xuebing. Of course, he had heard about him from others.
This person had worked in the Public Security before? The two officers following Dong Xuebing suddenly realized why Dong Xuebing was so alert.
Dong Xuebing continued. "This is the first time, and I don't want you to give me an explanation. But I don't want this to happen again. Don't tell me you don't know it is against the law to follow a government leader without proper documents!"
Sun Pengpeng frowned. "Chief Dong, don't you think you are being unreasonable? My men are on patrol, and when did they follow you? "
Dong Xuebing sneered. "You should know in your heart whether I did or not! That's all I have to say. If you all want to ignore me, then you all can try following me again! "Dong Xuebing said and walked away.
