Chapter 660: Does your Party School still have a vacancy?

Afternoon, 4 pm.

District First Hospital.

Wang Anshi almost fainted from the pain, and his sweat had soaked the bed.

Secretary Cang returned to the ward after hanging up. He suppressed his anger and said. “Secretary Dong Xuebing is not coming.”

Wang Anshi’s face changed. “Did he say that?”

Secretary Cang nodded. “He says he didn’t know how to treat illness and asked you to look for someone else.”

Wang Anshi grabbed his stomach in pain. This Dong Xuebing is too arrogant.

Wang Yuling can’t bear to see her Uncle suffer, and she sighed. “Let me try.”

A few minutes later.

Dong Xuebing arrived at Luan Xiaoping’s apartment building and received Wang Yuling’s call.

“Director.” Wang Yuling felt embarrassed to make this call, but she had no choice. After all, Wang Anshi is her Uncle. “My Uncle is sick, and his condition will worsen if he does not receive treatment. He might need to undergo surgery, but he has diabetes. The doctor says surgery is very risky…. Can you help to treat my Uncle? I know what my Uncle did was too much, but….”

Dong Xuebing was not surprised to receive Wang Yuling’s call, but he still shook his head. “Yuling, I want to help you, but this is not as simple as you think. I don’t need to lie to you. I am not a doctor and don’t have any medical experience. You had seen what happened previously. I was lucky that the massage worked and relieved your Uncle’s pain. But what happened after that? Are you asking me to help him and get backstabbed again? Once is enough. I don’t want it to happen again.”

Wang Yuling quickly says. “Director, this time is different. My Uncle will not….”

Dong Xuebing laughed. “Is this your promise or your Uncle’s promise?”

Wang Yuling kept quiet. She knows Dong Xuebing had embarrassed her Uncle, and her Uncle will not let him off. Even if Dong Xuebing went to the hospital and treated her Uncle, he will continue suppressing him after he recovers. He wants Dong Xuebing to treat his illness and target him. He would not be grateful even if he recovered because of Dong Xuebing’s treatment.

Wang Yuling could not continue to beg Dong Xuebing because she knew it was her Uncle’s fault. He was the one who burned the bridge.

After hanging up, Dong Xuebing went up to his mother’s apartment and called Yang Zhaode over for dinner.

If canceling his name from the Party School training course had offended Wang Anshi, not treating him would result in a fight to the death. But Dong Xuebing doesn’t care. He is prepared not to join any faction. He will not treat Wang Anshi even his mother asked him to, let alone Wang Yuling. Once he made his decision, very few people could change his mind.

At the same time.

News of District Party Secretary hospitalized had spread. Many people know Secretary Wang was mad at Dong Xuebing, and the anger triggered his appendicitis.

Guang Ming Subdistrict Office.

Deputy Work Party Secretary Office.

Geng Xinke and Yu Rongfeng are sitting together, frowning.

“Is Dong Xuebing going to be transferred?” Yu Rongfeng asked.

Geng Xinke shook his head. “I have not heard about this. I think he is not leaving.”

Yu Rongfeng asked puzzledly. “If his backing in the City Government is so powerful, he should be getting a transfer to another District. Why is there no action?”

Both looked at each other and came to the same conclusion as Wang Anshi. Dong Xuebing’s backing can only influence the Party School and is not powerful to help him get a transfer.

“Secretary Wang is in the hospital.” Yu Rongfeng said.

Geng Xinke nodded. “He might need to undergo surgery and might be warded for some time.”

“Mayor Geng….”

“Hmmm….”

This matter will affect Geng Xinke indirectly, and he needs to think about the upcoming situation. Wang Anshi will be warded for quite a while because of his condition and age. This situation will favor his Sister, Geng Yuehua. Although the Party School incident had disrupted his plans and Dong Xuebing had won, if he is not transferred away, he will be caught in a bad situation. He will be facing pressure from all District Leaders, especially those from the Wang faction. Wang Anshi’s followers will not let him off.

Geng Xinke tried to think in Dong Xuebing’s shoes.

If Dong Xuebing wants to survive, he needs to join a faction. Who will he pick?

Dong Xuebing will surely not join Wang Anshi, and he is only left with Mayor Geng.

Geng Xinke is unsure if Dong Xuebing will do this, but this is the only option left. He had heard of Dong Xuebing visiting Wang Anshi with gifts and knew he wanted to join Wang Anshi’s faction. This is not possible now, and he can only turn to Geng Yuehua, which he had not offended as badly as Wang Anshi. ????n????????????????????. ????????????

Under normal circumstances, this would not happen.

But comparing both sides, Dong Xuebing had offended Geng Yuehua lesser times than Wang Anshi.

It will be an opportunity for Geng Xinke if Dong Xuebing wants to join Geng’s faction to protect his current position.

Geng Yuehua is Geng Xinke’s elder Sister.

If Dong Xuebing joined Geng Yuehua’s faction, Geng Xinke will gain the upper hand and make it easier to steal the Role Model Award credit.

Evening.

A private dining room at a seafood restaurant.

“Uncle Yang, let me pour a glass of alcohol for you.” Dong Xuebing said.

Yang Zhaode laughed. “Ok. Let’s drink together.”

Luan Xiaoping is unhappy. “My son had driven here. How can you ask him to drink? How is he going to drive after drinking?”

Dong Xuebing laughed. “Mum, you should know I am a good drinker. It’s fine.”

Luan Xiaoping scolded. “What will happen to me if anything happens to you? You are not allowed to drink!”

“Xiao Bing, listen to your mother.” Yang Zhaode pushed the alcohol glasses aside. “We will drink another day.”

“Ok….”

The three of them started to eat.

After a while, Yang Zhaode suddenly asked. “I heard your District Party Secretary is warded for a critical condition.”

Dong Xuebing nodded. “Yes. He was warded this afternoon.”

“You didn’t visit him?”

“No. Why should I visit him after how he treated me?”

Yang Zhaode smiled and shook his head.

The subordinate must go to the hospital if their Leader is warded. This is a formality regardless of whether the subordinate get to meet the Leader at the hospital. Dong Xuebing knows about this, but he will not visit Wang Anshi after their fallout. When the dinner was over, Dong Xuebing left the private room to settle the bill and called Geng Xinke to go to the hospital.

“Secretary Geng, Party Secretary Wang is warded, and I don’t have time to visit him. Can you represent our Subdistrict Office to visit him at the hospital?”

Geng Xinke had thought about Dong Xuebing’s situation the whole afternoon and felt his analysis was correct. He concluded Dong Xuebing’s backing is not powerful. Still, he is unsure if Dong Xuebing would move closer to Geng Yuehua. So, he decided to test Dong Xuebing. “Director Dong, I am also busy.”

Dong Xuebing narrowed his eyes. “You are also busy?”

Geng Xinke continued. “Yes. How about you ask Director Zhou to go? I can’t leave now.”

This is not giving ‘face’ to Dong Xuebing.

Geng Xinke felt that if Dong Xuebing had decided to join Geng Yuehua’s faction, he would not need to follow his orders. Maybe Dong Xuebing might need to follow his orders instead in the future. He can guess Dong Xuebing’s intention through his response this time. If Dong Xuebing did not get mad, it means he has this intention, and Geng Xinke can plan his next move. At the same time, he can tell his Sister.

“Oh, then forget it.” Dong Xuebing calmly replied and hung up.

Geng Xinke is excited after hearing Dong Xuebing’s calm tone. This means he had guessed correctly.

Geng Xinke is guessing Dong Xuebing’s intention using most people’s logic. But he doesn’t know Dong Xuebing doesn’t think like everyone else.

I am only asking you to visit Wang Anshi at the hospital, and you are giving excuses…. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ Noᴠelꜰire

Geng Xinke, you are not behaving like a subordinate.

Damn! I had treated you too well in the past. Do you think that no one dares to touch you because your Sister is the District Mayor?!

Dong Xuebing returned to the private room and asked Yang Zhaode. “Uncle Yang, is there any more vacancy for tomorrow’s Party School training course?”

“Yes. Why are you asking?” Yang Zhaode asked.

Dong Xuebing laughed. “Can you add one more candidate?”

Dong Xuebing had offended too many people, and one more doesn’t make a difference. He doesn’t care anymore.
