Chapter 652: The person behind all of this

Monday.

Nan Shan District. Guang Ming Subdistrict Office.

A dark cloud covered the sky and blocked the sun.

“Director.”

“Director Dong.”

“Good morning, Director Dong.”

Everyone greeted Dong Xuebing with a weird expression.

Dong Xuebing frowned and nodded to them before entering the office building.

Dong Xuebing had returned last night after Xu Yan told him about the piece of news. He tried to find out more by making some calls but could not confirm. Almost no one within the District heard about Dong Xuebing will be sent to the Party School. However, he is still cautious. This information should be reliable as information gathering is part of Xu Yan’s job. When he saw the weird expression on everyone’s face, he knew this would happen.

A few minutes later.

The phone in Dong Xuebing’s office rang moments after he entered it.

“Hello.”

Dong Xuebing answered. “This is Dong Xuebing.”

A man replied. “Good morning, Director Dong. I am calling from the District Organization Department. Chief Xue asked me to notify you to come to the District Party Committee today.”

It is happening.

Dong Xuebing’s face changed. “What is this about?”

“I am not sure.”

“Ok.”

District Party Committee building.

Xue Qingrong’s office.

Dong Xuebing knocks on the door and enters. Xue Qingrong is sitting behind his desk, having tea.

“Director Dong, you are here.” Xue Qingrong smiles. “Have a seat.”

Dong Xuebing sat on the chair and crossed his legs. “Chief Xue, what is this about?”

Xue Qingrong and Dong Xuebing had fallen out because Dong Xuebing had beaten up his son. Dong Xuebing has no intention to show any respect for him.

Xue Qingrong glanced at Dong Xuebing’s sitting posture, and his face twitched. “I am representing the Organization to speak to you. Correct your attitude before we continue.” He puts down his teacup and starts reading the document in front.

Dong Xuebing puts down his leg and sits properly.

After a while, Xue Qingrong looked at Dong Xuebing and said. “You should know about the article published by Nan Qi Morning Post. The Commission for Discipline Inspection had investigated this incident, and the article had exaggerated the injuries of those students. They do not suffer any fractures, but that does not mean this incident has no impact. The Party Committee has decided to send you a one and a half month stay-in training at the City’s Party School the day after tomorrow. Your name has been summited.”

It is as expected.

Dong Xuebing is prepared for this and appears to be calm. i????????????????????d. c????????

“What will happen to my work at the Subdistrict Office if I go to the Party School?”

Xue Qingrong smiled. “The training will start the day after tomorrow, and you have to report to the City Party School tomorrow. Work Party Deputy Secretary Geng Xinke will take over your duties when you are not around.”

“I am referring to the National Respect and Care for the elderly’s model unit award ceremony.”

“The District had discussed this, and Geng Xinke will receive the award in Beijing on behalf of the Subdistrict. He will also be handling the National Respect and Care for the elderly work with Wang Yuling.”

Dong Xuebing laughed out of anger. All these have been arranged for him.

Xue Qingrong asked. “Do you have any other questions?”

“What if I refuse to go?”

Xue Qingrong looks at Dong Xuebing in his eyes. “You do not decide this. It is the Organization that decides this. I am informing you and not asking for your opinions.”

Dong Xuebing stood up. “I have reservations on this decision.” He said and left.

Going to the Party School made Dong Xuebing’s blood boil again.

If Dong Xuebing had worked in Nan Shan District for one to two years, he would be excited to train at the Party School. It will look good in his resume and is a sign he would be promoted. But being sent to the Party School now is not an honor. It is a punishment for beating up others. He had seen many civil servants sent to the Party School as punishment and did not return. He is afraid he will be one of them.

Is it possible?

Although the possibility is not strong, it will not be ruled out.

Xue Qingrong has a grudge against Dong Xuebing. His son is still under custody at the detention center because of him. As the Organization Department Chief, Xue Qingrong has the authority over all Civil Servants. He can use Dong Xuebing beating up students as an excuse to deal with him. Mayor Geng Yuehua should be glad to see him being punished. Geng Yuehua should have something to do with sending him to the Party School because he has taken away the Subdistrict Director position from her brother, Geng Xinke. But this should not be happening with Party Secretary Wang Anshi. Xue Qingrong is Wang Anshi’s man, and he should not allow this to happen. After all, Wang Anshi owes Dong Xuebing a favor.

Nevertheless, Dong Xuebing is unwilling to go to the Party School even if he can return after the training.

Dong Xuebing had taken over Guang Ming Subdistrict for a short time and didn’t have a strong foundation. Geng Xinke, on the other hand, had been working there for years. His sister is the District Mayor, and who knows what will happen to the Subdistrict Office after one month? This will destroy whatever foundation Dong Xuebing had built, and his authority will be gone when he comes back.

The most frustrating is the Role Model Unit award’s credit.

With Dong Xuebing out of the picture, Geng Xinke will receive the award and get the credit. He had done everything he could to get this award, and Geng Xinke had objected to this initially. He was the one who put in the effort to get the nomination and used his connections at the Ministry of Civil Affairs to get it. Geng Xinke and the rest had not done anything at all.

But now, Geng Xinke will be getting all the credit.

F*CK!

How can they do this to me?!

I had offended everyone to fight for this award, and you jumped out of nowhere to claim the credit.

Dream on!

Dong Xuebing doesn’t mind giving this credit to Wang Yuling, but not Geng Xinke. He turns around and is about to go upstairs to look for Wang Anshi. He will not accept going to the Party School now. The award ceremony is just a few days away.

A conversation is happening along the corridor.

“Mayor Geng, the Sports Administration….”

“Talk to the person in charge for this matter.”

“I went there but….”

“Continue and try talking to him, and ask him to see me.”

The high heels footsteps got nearer, and Geng Yuehua and a middle-aged Leader walked down the stairs.

Dong Xuebing almost lost control of himself when he saw Geng Yuehua. He felt other than Xue Qingrong and Geng Xinke, and this woman is also involved in sending him to the Party School. He stepped out and blocked her path. “Mayor Geng.”

Geng Yuehua stopped and looked at Dong Xuebing with a frown.

Dong Xuebing is not in the mood to admire Geng Yuehua’s pretty face now. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ novelenglish.net . ꜰirᴇ - ɴovᴇlbin

Before Geng Yuehua could say anything, Dong Xuebing said. “I don’t think it is right to send me to the Party School now. I am not disobeying the Organization’s decision. Still, the Role Model Unit award ceremony will be held in a few days, and we have received the invitation. Should we wait for the ceremony to be over before I am sent to the Party School?” Dong Xuebing is trying to tell Geng Yuehua that he is fine with her abusing her punishing him by sending him to the Party School. But she should not abuse her authority to suppress him and let her brother claim the credit.

Geng Yuehua looks at Dong Xuebing emotionlessly. “You should not be talking to me over this matter.”

You are the one behind this matter. Who else should I talk to other than you?

But Geng Yuehua’s next sentence shocked Dong Xuebing. “It was Secretary Wang who suggested sending you to the Party School. Although I had voted in favor of this decision, you should speak to the Organization Department and Secretary Wang about this. I am not in charge of this matter.”

Dong Xuebing is stunned.

Geng Yuehua continued walking downstairs.

The staff beside Geng Yuehua looked at Dong Xuebing and shook his head before following her.

Secretary Wang?!

Wang Anshi is the person who is after him.

Dong Xuebing doesn’t believe this is happening. He had helped treat Wang Anshi’s life-threatening illness, and he still wanted to go after him. Are you joking with me?! Wang Anshi owed me a big favor, but he turned out to be the person behind this! How is this possible?!

But Dong Xuebing knows Mayor Geng is not lying as she doesn’t need to do so.
