The next day.
Morning, 10 am.
It's foggy today, and the air is not good.
Dong Xuebing visited all the departments in the district office. Everyone's attitude was good, and they did not talk about anything special. He was relieved. News of Geng Xinke and Lin Pingping's videotape did not spread, and only a few people know about it. The Commission for Discipline Inspection's Secretary, Qu Yiqiang, also knows about it. Mayor Yuehua's family will not spread it around, and the DVD recording did not cause any commotion. No one even heard about it through the grapevine.
Dong Xuebing nodded and walked towards his office.
Suddenly, footsteps could be heard from the corridor above, and Geng Xinke appeared.
"Secretary Geng." Dong Xuebing laughed. "Are you busy?"
Geng Xinke paused for a second. "Yes. I am going to the communities to check on the progress of the earthquake awareness campaign."
"Thank you." Dong Xuebing looked at him. "Are you free tonight? Let's have dinner together? "
Geng Xinke replied. "I still have something on at home. Maybe another day."
Dong Xuebing laughed. "Alright. Let's talk about it in the future."
"… Chief, I will make a move first."
"Ok." Dong Xuebing patted Geng Xinke's arm and walked past him.
Dong Xuebing is not surprised by Geng Xinke's attitude. He knew Geng Xinke had some misunderstandings with him. Hmmm … it's not a misunderstanding. There are conflicts between them, and it's not something that can be resolved in a day or two. Dong Xuebing does not care about Geng Xinke's attitude towards him. He can't let the first in command fawn over the second in command. It's best if Dong Xuebing can improve their relationship. If not, it's fine as long as Geng Yuehua understands that Dong Xuebing will not spare any effort to help his family.
But because of this, there are other voices in the Street Office.
"Eh, what happened to Chief Dong and Secretary Geng?"
"You don't know? Secretary Geng fought with Chief Dong yesterday. "
"What? When? What happened? "
"Yesterday afternoon, outside the District Committee's compound. I don't know what happened."
"I also heard that Secretary Geng had grabbed Chief Dong's collar, and Chief Dong did not retaliate."
"This is strange. Since when did Chief Dong's temper become so good? This isn't our director's style! "
"Aiyo, the second-in-command beating up the first-in-command. This is not a small matter. Secretary Geng is …"
"I heard that Yuehua District Mayor criticized Secretary Geng in the office yesterday. I don't know if he will be punished. The Commission for Discipline Inspection seems to be investigating."
The matter of the recording did not spread, but the matter of Geng Xinke making a move had become a hot topic.
…
Secretary's office.
Dong Xuebing received a call from Nanshan District's Commission for Discipline Inspection Secretary, Wu Liang.
"Are you Chief Dong?" Wu Liang asked seriously.
"Secretary Wu, it's me." Dong Xuebing replied.
"I'm looking for you about something that happened yesterday afternoon. Someone reported that Deputy Secretary Geng Xinke fought with you outside the District Committee's compound yesterday? What was the situation at that time? Tell me in detail. " Dong Xuebing is Geng Xinke's leader, and hitting a leader in public will affect the district's reputation. Since someone had reported this incident, and so many people witnessed it, the District's Commission for Discipline Inspection cannot ignore it. Even if Dong Xuebing is the Mayor's brother, he must be punished.
Dong Xuebing heard this and understood that Geng Xinke will not be able to escape punishment.
Although Geng Yuehua will not be punished severely because of Geng Yuehua, Dong Xuebing does not want to see this happen.
Dong Xuebing thought for a while and pretended not to know. "Secretary Wu, what do you mean by hitting me?"
Wu Liang was taken aback, unable to react. "Mm?"
"How can Secretary Geng hit me?" Dong Xuebing replied. "Did someone misunderstand? At that time, I did have some arguments with Secretary Geng. It was because of some work matters, so I won't go into the details. Later, I showed a document to Secretary Geng, and Secretary Geng reached into the car to take it. That wasn't a fight. If anyone misunderstood, then I have to clarify that we just had some differences in opinion, but it wasn't to the extent of fighting. "
Wu Liang asked. "He really did not hit you?"
"Really."
"… Alright. Then it's fine."
Wu Liang does not know what Dong Xuebing is up to, but since Dong Xuebing said it's fine, he can't be bothered to investigate further. Furthermore, Wu Liang is under Yuehua Mayor's faction, and he wants to punish Geng Xinke as soon as possible to protect him. He wants to give Geng Xinke a light punishment, and it will not be easy for others to use this incident in the future. But now, it's not necessary.
After hanging up, Wu Liang immediately reported to Geng Yuehua.
"Dong Xuebing said Geng Xinke did not hit him because they had some differences in opinions." Wu Liang said.
Geng Yuehua kept quiet for two seconds. "Ok."
… …
At the same time.
In the community.
Geng Xinke was inspecting the area absent-mindedly and waiting for the results of the District's punishment. His sister had settled the surveillance video, and Lin Pingping had returned to Yan Tai County. But Geng Xinke knew he cannot escape from the punishment for grabbing Dong Xuebing's collar.
However, after waiting for so long, the result made Geng Xinke a little stunned.
His sister had informed him yesterday and asked him to be mentally prepared. However, a few hours had passed, and there was no news from the district. The Commission for Discipline Inspection did not look for him either. Even when he was about to get off work, he did not hear anything. It was as if the matter had been left unsettled.
No punishment?
It's over just like that?
Geng Xinke immediately called Geng Yuehua's secretary, Ma Li, to ask about the situation.
Ma Li replied softly. "I also did not hear much. The Commission for Discipline Inspection had investigated but did not find anything. It should be fine now."
Fine now?
Geng Xinke let out a sigh of relief. He felt it should be his sister who had helped him. After all, he had only grabbed Dong Xuebing's collar and did not do anything extreme. That's why there should be room for negotiation.
If possible, Dong Xuebing does not want to be punished.
Geng Xinke's mood became better. It's finally over.
But when it was almost time to knock off, Geng Xinke received a piece of news from the District. The District had allocated 1.5 million RMB to Guangming Street Office for an earthquake drill! Geng Xinke remembered Dong Xuebing's ridiculous request for an earthquake drill. He did not expect the district to agree to it!
