Afternoon.
In the Guangming Street Office Building, the gentle summer wind blew on the glass of the secretary's office, bringing in the heat.
Knock, knock, knock. The short Deputy Chief Guo Mingfeng entered the office with a document in his hand.
"Chief, this is the work report from the various communities."
"Ok. I will read it later. What is it about?"
"It is about respecting and helping the elderly. The District Government had instructed us to start this last month."
"Ok. Leave it here."
"If there is nothing else, I will go back."
After he left, Dong Xuebing opened the envelope and flipped through the documents. These were the instructions from the District Government before he was appointed. Dong Xuebing does not know the details, but he could read from the reports from the various communities. This time, Nanshan District will be carrying out a comprehensive program of respecting and helping the elderly. All the streets and communities must learn from Ping An Street's approach and passion. Dong Xuebing was still thinking of how to teach Chu Qinghua and Li Lu a lesson, and he was unhappy when he saw this.
Ping An Street Office wants us to learn from them?
What a joke!
For example, Geng Xinke, Guo Mingfeng, and the rest, Dong Xuebing was in their way when Dong Xuebing was promoted. They had clashed with Dong Xuebing in terms of authority and benefits, and it's normal for them to get Dong Xuebing drunk during the banquet. Organization Department Deputy Minister Peng Kun is also the same. He had helped Xue Gui to flatter Minister Xue Qingrong and got into conflict with Dong Xuebing. But what about Chu Qinghua and Li Lu? But Chu Qinghua and Li Lu were the same. Dong Xuebing had only been here for a week, and he did not offend them. I even went to congratulate Chu Qinghua's son for getting married and support Li Lu's restaurant. But in the end, you all still dare to plot against me? Just because Ping An Street Office and Guangming Street Office had been at odds for a long time? That's why you all want to embarrass me for no reason? Damn! What kind of human are you all?!
Dong Xuebing will not let this go. This is not the style of these people.
He walked to the window sill and coldly looked down, staring at the entrance of Li's Restaurant.
The wedding banquet had ended, and there are not many restaurants in the afternoon. By right, most restaurants will close for two hours and reopen at 5 pm. But Li's Restaurant does not seem to be doing this today. Dong Xuebing noticed a few waiters moving things out. There are microphones, sound systems, and even the temporary stage and red carpet for the wedding banquet were moved to an empty space outside. Dong Xuebing saw Li Lu, who was giving out instructions, but he could not hear what he was saying.
What was he doing?
Why do you still want to hold a concert?
Dong Xuebing returned to his office and continued to work on the documents in his hands. He was thinking about how to punish Li Lu. Although Chu Qinghua might be the one who ordered the dishes to be served, he is of the same rank as me. But what about you, Li Lu? Instead of doing your business properly, you're meddling in other people's business and plotting against me? Who the hell are you!
Five minutes …
Ten minutes …
Fifteen minutes …
But before Dong Xuebing could find trouble with Li Lu, Li Lu's troubles came to him again.
"Hello everyone, Li's Restaurant is offering a big discount today. All dishes are 20% off, and in order to thank everyone for your support and patronage in the past two weeks, our Boss Li has decided to hold a prize-winning quiz. We will randomly pick five of our restaurant's dishes and invite friends to come up and guess which dish it is. If you can answer all of them correctly, you will get a voucher worth 300 yuan from our restaurant."
"300? Five dishes? "
"Yes. Do you want to give it a try?"
"Ok. I will do it. Shall we start now?"
"Yes. Please hold the microphone. I will ask the first question. What is the Snow Volcano?"
"That's easy. Tomato salad."
"Congratulations. You got the first question right. Seems like you are our regular. Please listen to the second dish. What is the Phoenix Swimming on Phoenix Terrace?"
A loud noise came from the entrance of Li's Restaurant.
Dong Xuebing, who was in his office, frowned. He walked to the window and saw Li's Restaurant's promotion. The 300 RMB voucher was very attractive. If one person bought it, he could eat at Li's Restaurant for free for a few days. Many residents had gathered at the venue, and they were attracted by the commotion. But Li's Restaurant was overjoyed. The speakers were aimed at Guangming Street Office. Even though Dong Xuebing's windows were closed, the loud noises could still be heard through the gaps!
"Sorry. This dish is not right."
"Really? Impossible. "
"I'm sorry. Let's welcome the next guest."
"Let me! Let me do it!"
Dong Xuebing was in a bad mood, and Li Lu's Restaurant's loud noise made him even angrier. He banged on the table. "What the hell is this?!"
A few cadres of the Guangming Street Office could not do it anymore. The Administrative Service Hall was still fine, as it was at the back, and the sound did not travel too far. However, the building of the Party Working Committee was directly facing the Li's Restaurant. The sound could not be covered at all, and it had already seriously affected their work. Their ears were buzzing non-stop for even a second. Not to mention looking at documents and talking about work, they could not even calm down to sign a document!
Dong Xuebing immediately called Zhou Yanru's office, but no one answered. He then called Zhou Yanru's mobile phone. "Hello? It's me."
"Director."
"Get someone to go to Li's Restaurant! Ask them to switch off the speakers! "
"Hello? What did you say? Sorry, I could not hear you. It's too noisy. "
"Go to Li's Restaurant! Ask them to stop the noise! What a fuss! What's the point of working?! "
"I am already downstairs, and I am about to go over. It's the same for our side. The windows are open, and we can't hear anything." Zhou Yanru replied angrily. "Don't worry. I will get it done now!"
After hanging up, the phone on Dong Xuebing's desk rang.
It was the Secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, Qu Yiqiang. "Director, I had just returned from the Letters Department, and the phone had been ringing nonstop. Many residents had complained that Li's Restaurant is disturbing the residents. How do you think we should settle this?"
"I had asked Chief Zhou to go over."
"The advertisements and promotions these days are getting too much. How can they do this?"
After hanging up, Dong Xuebing walked over to the window and looked at Li's Restaurant. His face was black.
The Q&A session was still ongoing, and Li Lu was smiling with his arms crossed. He looked satisfied, and there were more than 50 residents gathered in front of the VIP stand.
At this time, Zhou Yanru walked up with a few Guangming Street Office staff with a black face.
"Who is the boss?" Zhou Yanru asked. "Where is your person-in-charge? What are you all doing?! "
Li Lu frowned and glanced at her. "What's wrong?"
Zhou Yanru turned and looked at Dong Xuebing. "You are the boss? Remove the VIP stand now! Switch off the speakers! Do you all know you are disturbing the residents?! "
Li Lu ignored her and smiled. He thought to himself, You are such a busybody.
One of the staff immediately stared at Dong Xuebing. "Our Chief Zhou is talking to you! Why are you putting on airs?! "
Chief Zhou? Li Lu was stunned and looked at the building diagonally opposite. He understood what was going on. "Are you all from Guangming Street Office? We are only organizing an event, and it will be over at night. Disturbing the residents? It's not that loud, and it's not nighttime. It will not affect the residents' lives. "
Zhou Yanru replied coldly. "It will be over at night? You are not only affecting the residents' lives! You are also affecting our office's work! Remove it now! "
Li Lu looked at them in annoyance. So what if it affects your work? What does it have to do with me? This event was planned by Li Lu long ago. He was afraid that there would be disputes, so he did not hold it after the opening. He knew that the noise was a little loud, but in order to gain popularity, Li Lu still used his connections to get the Pingan Street Office to do it. This way, even if someone reported him, no one would cause trouble for him. As for the Guangming Street Office? Li Lu would not care about them. This was the Pingan Street Office's area of jurisdiction.
Li Lu did not say anything and continued to watch the question and answer session on the VIP stand. He ignored Zhou Yanru and the rest.
"Congratulations, friend. You have answered all five dishes correctly."
"Haha."
"This is our voucher. Please take it."
Zhou Yanru was furious. "I will say it one last time! All of you, remove it! "
Li Lu turned a deaf ear. Not only did he not remove the equipment, but he did not even lower the volume. He continued to do things his own way. In any case, the people from the Guangming Street Office could not control him. That would be crossing the line. Li Lu's thoughts were not complicated. Since he had established his relationship with the magistrate, why would he care about the Guangming Street Office? Anyway, he had offended the Street Office's Chief Dong Xuebing in the afternoon, and there was no need to care about this. Furthermore, the Guangming Street Office could not do anything to him. What can the Guangming Street Office do?
Ten minutes later.
Party Secretary's office.
Zhou Yanru returned with a belly full of anger. "Chief."
Dong Xuebing could still hear the noise, and his face changed. "Why are you still here?"
"Li's Restaurant is not working. No matter what we say, their boss did not respond. He ignored us. I suggest we contact the Police Station to enforce the order."
"That is under the jurisdiction of the Pingan Street Office, right?"
"Yes."
"I know. You can go back first."
After Zhou Yanru left, Dong Xuebing took a deep breath and laughed. Li Lu, ah, Li Lu. You are such a troublemaker. You had tricked me in the afternoon, and now, you want to mess with our street? I will teach you a lesson! You really don't know what your surname is?!
