Chapter 466 – I will get back to you in other ways!
Before noon.
Dong Xuebing is suddenly hospitalized. But this is expected.
Everyone knows Chief Dong is very angry.
Although the Agency’s Chief refusing to work now is wrong, the leaders will not blame him even if they know he is malingering. Xiao Dong is being replaced as the organizer of the investment fair by a newly appointed Deputy Chief. Moreover, during the investment fair period, he does not have any work. They can’t be expecting him to report to work and listen to his Deputy’s instruction.
County’s People Hospital.
A single ward.
Dong Xuebing laid on the bed and called Xie Huilan. “Has your meeting ended?”
Xie Huilan replied. “Yes. Just ended.”
“I am at the hospital now, and there are some issues with my health. The doctors will be putting me on drip later.”
“Haha… you are fast. Have a good rest these few days.”
Dong Xuebing is still feeling frustrated. “Huilan, I am still pissed over this. If it weren’t that I recently got into lots of trouble, I would not come to the hospital. It’s just Xiang Daofa and Jia Yan. I don’t believe I will lose to them if I go all out! I will not let them live in peace!”
“What are you planning?”
Dong Xuebing is not scared to say all these. “How about we find a way to bring down Xiang Daofa?”
“Haha… and then?”
“And then?! Just bring him down first, and we decide later!” Dong Xuebing is furious with Xiang Daofa for making use of him.
Xie Huilan laughed. “You are always thinking of these. You are lucky to bring down the former Party Secretary. It’s not easy to bring down a County’s Party Secretary. Alright, even if you manage to bring down Xiang Daofa, what is going to happen next? Have you considered the consequences after that? Other than venting our anger, it is meaningless.”
Dong Xuebing thought for a while and keep quiet.
Xie Huilan continued. “You might not like to hear this. Haha… I will be the first person to object if anyone is going to bring down Xiang Daofa.”
“Huh?” Dong Xuebing is stunned.
“Politics is not child’s play or hooligans fighting.” Xie Huilan laughed. “I had become the County’s Mayor for less than a year. If Xiang Daofa is brought down, do you think I can take over his position?”
Dong Xuebing suddenly understood what Xie Huilan is trying to say.
“Do you understand?”
“Yes.”
Dong Xuebing understood everything. Xie Huilan had just stabilized her position as the Mayor, and the County Government work is on track. Even though Xiang Daofa had been finding faults and making things difficult for her, these are nothing to her and the County Government. Suppose a new Party Secretary replaces Xiang Daofa. In that case, everything will change, and Xie Huilan will need time to get used to it. If the new Party Secretary is more overbearing than Xiang Daofa, it might get complicated. The new Party Secretary might even remove Dong Xuebing from his position using conflict of interest as an excuse.
Bring down Xiang Daofa, and then bring down the new Party Secretary?
After bringing down the new Party Secretary, is he going to bring down the new replacement again?
How can this still be politics?! Even if Sister Xie’s family is influential, but they also cannot afford to do this. They are not the only voice in the government.
No wonder Xie Huilan refused to do anything against Xiang Daofa in the past. She has her considerations.
After listening to Sister Xie, Dong Xuebing felt he had learned a lot about politics. He has been a frog in the well, and there are lots more for him to learn.
“… alright, I will just have a good rest in the hospital obediently.”
“Haha… maybe not.”
“Huh? You are the one who asked me to be hospitalized.”
“But I did not ask you to remain there obediently. Keep your spirits up. You must be prepared to show me your fighting spirit when I need you.”
Dong Xuebing sits up. “You mean things might change?”
“I don’t know if things might change or not. But it will not be easy for Xiang Daofa to steal your credit. I only don’t want him to be transferred out, but that does not mean he can do whatever he wants in the County Government. Just wait in the hospital and leave the rest to me.”
“Ok.”
Dong Xuebing is assured after hearing what Xie Huilan said. His rank is too low to interfere with the rivalry between the County’s No.1 and No. 2.
But Xie Huilan has her way of fighting, and Dong Xuebing has his way of doing things. He might not be as mature and experienced as Xie Huilan in politics. Still, one hundred Xie Huilan cannot be compared to him when creating trouble for someone. That’s right. He is still angry with Xiang Daofa backstabbing him, and he will use his ways to get back at him!
Suffer in silence?!
That is not my style!
But Dong Xuebing had learned his lesson. His biggest flaw is not his vengeful character, but it’s the way he conducts his revenge. It’s too evil and not suitable for government service. That’s why he decided to “play by the rules” this time against Xiang Daofa!
My Huilan is going to deal with you with political means! Then I will get back to you in other ways!
This is called a two-pronged attack!
After a while, Luo Haiting, Guo Panwei, and the rest found out that Dong Xuebing is hospitalized and knew the investment fair’s leadership changes. All of them quickly called Dong Xuebing and wants to visit him at the hospital. But he refused to meet them and only asked them to carry on with their work. This is office hours, and it’s not right for them to visit him at the hospital. But it’s fine for them to visit after work. Dong Xuebing still doesn’t know about Xie Huilan’s plan against Xiang Daofa and doesn’t want others to get a hold of him.
Noon.
After lunch, Dong Xuebing looked at his watch and called Hu Silian. “Hello, Sister Hu? Have you taken your lunch?”
“I just finished work and am about to go home to have lunch. How are you feeling?”
“Ah… it’s just some minor issues.”
Hu Silian knew Dong Xuebing was feigning sick and did not continue to ask. She laughed. “Do you need anything from me?”
“Yes. Do you know where Secretary Xiang is now? Is he still at work or had returned to the quarters?”
Hu Silian blinked. “Secretary Xiang still has not reported off and might be in his office. But he should be returning home soon to have lunch. I heard his son had returned from Beijing.”
“Oh… thanks.”
“Xuebing, you are… you must not do anything rash. You…”
“Don’t worry. What else can I do? It’s fine. It was just a simple question.”
Hu Silian doesn’t believe him. Her heart skipped a beat when Dong Xuebing asked where Xiang Daofa is. It might be fine if it was someone else. But Xiao Dong had done lots of outrageous things, and how can she not worry? Furthermore, Xiang Daofa had just taken away his authority, and she knows Dong Xuebing will not suffer in silence.
“Xuebing, you…”
“Don’t tell Huilan about this. I will not cross the line.”
Hu Silian doesn’t know whether to cry or laugh. When have you kept yourself in check? She got a bad feeling after hanging up and rushed to the quarters.
At the same time, Dong Xuebing left the hospital and drove to the quarters. He had not brought anything with him to the hospital and need to return to get his clothes, toothbrush, shaver, etc., and look out for opportunities to get back at Xiang Daofa. Of course, he will not leave any evidence or let anyone know he is up to no good this time.
Entrance of the County Party Committee family quarters.
Dong Xuebing drove nearer and saw Hu Silian rushing to the quarters on her electric bike. He knew she is worried and is here to watch over him. But no one can stop him. Suddenly, he noticed a silver-colored Corolla parked by the roadside, and a big dog rushed out when the door opens. Xiang Daofa’s son and his friends also alighted from the car. They seem to be around his age, in their twenties.
“Renjie, why are you bringing your dog everywhere you go?”
“That’s right. I am scared of your dog. Can you keep it on a leash?”
Xiang Renjie nonchalantly replied. “What leash?! How is it considered walking the dog if it is on a leash?”
Another university student asked. “What if your dog bites others?”
“So be it.” Another guy laughed and said softly. “His father is the Party Secretary. Do you think he is afraid of Da Huang biting others? That person is just unlucky to be bitten, as there is nothing he can do.”
Xiang Renjie laughed. “Alright. You all go ahead first. My father is coming back, and I must go back for lunch.”
This dog is the Xiang family’s treasure. They had kept it for around seven years and had bitten others before. The relevant authority has the power to investigate and take away the dog, but who dares to take away the Party Secretary’s dog? Even when big dogs are not allowed in the quarters, and all dogs must be leashed within the compound, no one dares to voice it. Xiang Daofa is the No. 1 in Yan Tai County!
Dong Xuebing’s Santana passed by them and overheard their conversation. He is furious when he saw that dog staring at him without a leash. Damn! Blame the luck of the person who got bitten? You are too arrogant! Do you think Yan Tai County is your family’s backyard?! Useless brat. You refused to listen to me when I asked you to leash your dog this morning? Fine! I will enforce justice on behalf of heaven!
Dong Xuebing suddenly has an evil plan in his mind!
