Chapter 571: Snatch it!
Geng Xinke was shocked by what Dong Xuebing said. This new Director is different and dares to say everything. He plans to make things worse for Ping An Subdistrict, and he still wants to snatch their nomination!
Geng Xinke finally sees Dong Xuebing’s guts!
This guy dares to do what others don’t dare!
Geng Xinke knows the consequences of doing this. The District Government supports Ping An Subdistrict Office and wants all Subdistricts to work on Respecting and Caring for the elderly. This is to support Chu Qinghua and help them get selected for the role model unit award. Although Chu Qinghua had not done a good job and something unexpected happened, who says they don’t stand a chance? Will the District Government agree if Guang Ming Subdistrict snatches the nomination from behind?
This is too evil!
But Geng Xinke understands why Dong Xuebing is telling him about this. He is trying to pull him over and use his relationship with Geng Yuehua to lower the pressure from the District Government.
Dream on!
Don’t drag me along if you want to get yourself into trouble!
Geng Xinke is scared of how Dong Xuebing works. The latter is not afraid of anyone or anything, and he doesn’t dare to join him. who knows what trouble he will be getting himself into? “Director Dong, this is not right.”
Dong Xuebing casually replied. “What’s wrong with it? This is a fair competition.”
Geng Xinke is speechless. “Yes, it is fair competition, but we had not submitted our application for this award. We cannot fight to be selected.”
“Isn’t there an exception last year?” Dong Xuebing replied patiently. “The Inspection Team had selected a unit in our Henan Province that was not nominated.”
Geng Xinke can tell Dong Xuebing is determined to snatch this nomination. He paused for a second and replied. “I still have reservations on this.”
“……, oh, ok.”
“I still have work to do. Bye.”
Geng Xinke doesn’t want to remain in Dong Xuebing’s office for one more second as he doesn’t want to get involved. He can go ahead and do whatever he wants.
Dong Xuebing shook his head and thought to himself. You all are so timid. High-risk, high returns. When will you all achieve results if you all remain in your offices and wait? This is the time you all take action. Never mind. Since you all don’t want the credit, I will get it myself! Dong Xuebing decided to go all out to try and get the nomination. You never know if you don’t try. Dong Xuebing might be fearless, but he knows he cannot snatch the nomination openly. He needs to find a way to get around it!
What should he do?
How should he get the Inspection Team to select Guang Ming Subdistrict?
Dong Xuebing thought for a while and decided to get in touch with Cheng Yandong first. He knows it is very difficult as Cheng Yandong has no reason to pick Guang Ming Subdistrict. If Cheng Yandong refuses to pick another Subdistrict, he doesn’t need to waste his time. But if Cheng Yandong and his team have something against Ping An Subdistrict, he might have a chance to replace them.
Dong Xuebing asked around and found out the Inspection Team was having lunch near Ping An Second Street. He left his office and drove there.
Ping An Second Street.
Dong Xuebing saw Chu Qinghua using his phone outside of a restaurant.
Chu Qinghua said softly into the phone. “Mayor Shen, we….”
Executive Deputy Mayor Shen Fei interrupted him. “I don’t want to hear your explanation! Go and explain it to Secretary Shi and Mayor Geng! Director Chu! You have been in the government service for a long time! What do you expect me to say?! How come this happened during the inspection?! What have you been doing?! Residents creating trouble and fighting with the nursing home staff?! Even the Inspection Team Leader is hurt!”
Chu Qinghua sighed. “I had not done my job well.”
Shen Fei continued. “Our District had won several role model units over the years, but we have never won the National Respect and Care for the elderly’s model unit award! Do you know how important this inspection is?! But what is your Subdistrict doing?!”
“Mayor Shen, this is an accident. But don’t worry, we will not let the District down.”
Shen Fei asks. “Do you still have a chance to get selected?”
Chu Qinghua replied. “We will find ways to compensate Team Leader Cheng’s pendant, and we had paid Su Xiaochun’s family 150,000 RMB. Her problem is considered settled, and the Inspection Team doesn’t seem to be angry. I think we still stand a chance.”
“Remember, this must not go wrong!”
“Don’t worry. We will try our best to get selected.”
Chu Qinghua felt his heart turns cold after hanging up. He doesn’t know if his Subdistrict can be selected. He was 80% confident of getting selected before the incident and is only 40% confident now. It’s all Dong Xuebing’s fault! Suppose he had not informed Su Xiaochun about the inspection. In that case, she will not turn up with her family to create trouble, and they would be selected!
Dong Xuebing!
Chu Qinghua is determined to get his revenge.
This is not the time to settle the score with Dong Xuebing. He needs to salvage the situation and get selected!
Dong Xuebing is laughing in his heart as he looks at Chu Qinghua.
Five minutes later.
Cheng Yandong walks out of a restaurant, and his team is following behind. They seemed to be saying something to him, but he waved them off. His team members returned to the restaurant, and he continued his way towards the north direction.
Dong Xuebing quickly drives over. “Eh, Team Leader Cheng?”
Cheng Yandong paused for a second. “It’s you… Director Dong?”
“Where are you going? I have just finished lunch and am free now. I can give you a lift.”
Cheng Yandong noticed the vehicle in front of him was a Porsche, and he looked at Dong Xuebing again. He hesitated for a second. “Alright. I heard there is an antique shop along West Street. I want to go there, but I don’t know my way. Sorry to trouble you.”
“Don’t mention it. I know where it is.”
Cheng Yandong got into the front passenger seat.
Dong Xuebing felt he might stand a chance as Cheng Yandong had not to ask Ping An Subdistrict’s staff to send him.
“Team Leader Cheng, how’s the Inspection Team’s impression of our Nan Shan District?”
“Not bad.” Cheng Yandong replied.
“We had been waiting for the inspection team to come and point out which areas we need to improve.”
Cheng Yandong smiles and seems distracted.
Dong Xuebing is disappointed to see Cheng Yandong not showing any signs of anger towards Ping An Subdistrict. He is wondering how he can get him to consider Guang Ming Subdistrict.
They arrived, and Cheng Yandong entered the antique shop.
Five minutes….
Ten minutes….
Twenty minutes….
Cheng Yandong noticed Dong Xuebing was waiting for him when he came out.
Dong Xuebing got out and smiled. “There are many other antique shops in the city. I can send you there if you want.”
“Never mind.” Cheng Yandong sighed and waved his hand.
Dong Xuebing is curious. “Then, you are….”
Cheng Yandong seems to be feeling down. “My jade pendant, left behind by my late mother, was shattered. I was hoping to get it repaired. But the antique shop’s staff told me it is impossible to return to its previous state even when they glue it back.” He knows it is impossible to repair the pendant, but he wanted to try his luck. This pendant is very important to him. It was his mother’s final gift to him. He had not shown anger or other emotions after the pendant was shattered, but he is hurting inside!
Dong Xuebing remembered that the pendant was shattered this morning as he looked at them from a distance. He had got his first pot of gold from dealing with antiques, and he knows it’s almost impossible to repair a jade pendant. Even if the pieces were glued back, the cracks would still be visible. That pendant was worth more than 1 million RMB, and it should be worth a few thousand now. Wait!
Dong Xuebing suddenly paused!
Impossible to repair?!
It’s not impossible! I have REVERSE!
Damn! Why did I forget about this?!
“Director Dong, I shall not bother you.” Cheng Yandong said. “I will go back myself.”
Dong Xuebing brightens up and quickly stops him. “Team Leader Cheng, can I see the jade pieces?”
Cheng Yandong hesitated and took out seven to eight jade pieces from a small clear plastic bag. “What’s wrong?”
Dong Xuebing replied. “Err… Let me hold on to these pieces for a day. I will help you think of a way to repair it. But I am not sure if it can be repaired.”
“……” Cheng Yandong thought for a while and passed the plastic bag to Dong Xuebing. “Alright.”
But Cheng Yandong did not get his hopes high as Dong Xuebing said he would think of ways to repair it.
