Chapter 637: Another Crisis arises
Chapter 637: Another Crisis arises
Next day.
Guang Ming Subdistrict Office, Work Party Secretary Office.
Dong Xuebing sat in front of the coffee table to enjoy his tea. He has nothing to do and brewed Wu Long, Green Tea, Pu Er, etc.
The Subdistrict Office is very busy at times. They had to handle various problems, and the staff might not even have time to take a break. But sometimes, they have nothing to do. Dong Xuebing had finished going through all the reports. The District Government did not have any orders for his Subdistrict after winning the National Respect and Care for the elderly’s model unit award. He had treated District Party Secretary Wang Anshi’s illness yesterday. It improved their relationship slightly, and he is confident he will be accepted by Wang Anshi soon. Although Dong Xuebing does not like how Wang Anshi treated him and still remembers how long he waited to meet him, he should not be affected by his reasons. These are not within his control, and he had to keep his unhappiness within his heart. He got to join Wang Anshi’s faction first. Everything is going smoothly as he has gotten his credit and has a strong backing.
After finishing three cups of tea, Dong Xuebing’s phone rang. It is an unknown number.
Dong Xuebing answered. “Hello, who is it?”
“Are you Director Dong?” A middle-aged man asked. His voice sounded familiar to Dong Xuebing. “I am Yan Tai County First Middle School Principal.”
Dong Xuebing is puzzled. Why is the Principal calling him? “Oh… What is it?”
The Principal replied. “One of my teachers told me that a newspaper reporter had come to our First Middle School yesterday. He seems to be investigating that incident. I just found out about it and felt you should be informed.”
“Reporter?” Dong Xuebing frowned. “Which newspaper agency?”
The Principal replied. “It is a City District newspaper agency called Nan Qi Morning Post.”
Dong Xuebing thought for a while. “Ok. Thanks for telling me.”
“No problem.”
Dong Xuebing is looking terrible after hanging up. Organization Department’s Peng Kun had gotten Nan Qi Morning Post to report about Dong Xuebing beating up civilians while tearing down illegal buildings. They purposely omitted the part where the civilians had attacked the government staff with weapons and made it sound like he was in the wrong. It almost caused Dong Xuebing to be investigated and punished by the Commission for Discipline Inspection Party Committee. It’s only a few days, and this newspaper agency is trying to create trouble again. But how do they know about this?
Huang Shizhong should not be spreading about this incident as he can’t wait for the dust to settle.
It must be Nan Qi Morning Post has received a tip-off and is trying to investigate me!
Zhou Yanru knocked on the door and entered the office when Dong Xuebing thought about this incident. “Director.”
“What’s wrong?” Dong Xuebing puts down his tea and looks at her.
“Look at the papers.” Zhou Yanru is furious. “This Nan Qi Morning Post is too much! What are they trying to do?”
“Is this today’s paper?”
“Yes. We just received it.”
Dong Xuebing started flipping the papers and saw an eye-catching article on the third page. The article did not mention any names, but it wrote Guang Ming Subdistrict Director. This article is also out of context as it did not state what happened before and after the incident. It only stated that the Guang Ming Subdistrict Director abused his authority and disregarded the law by beating up three students and a teacher in Yan Tai County.
Liu Gang had written this article.
It is Liu Gang and Nan Qi Morning Post again!
Dong Xuebing’s temper flared up. Are you all done?!
Didn’t you all learn your lesson previously? What’s the meaning of this?! Am I a pushover?!
This article is misleading. The article included an interview with the students’ parents. They are Huang Tingting’s friends’ parents. They claimed their children had suffered fractures and are still in the hospital. The article also mentioned Dong Xuebing beating up someone else in Nan Shan District. He is referring to Xue Qingrong’s son. This newspaper agency is not reporting facts and being objective. They are trying to paint Dong Xuebing badly and instigate the people to hate government officials and the wealthy.
Are you all a newspaper agency?
You all are making up stories and using them as a tool for revenge.
Dong Xuebing threw the papers aside. Guang Ming Subdistrict Office is about to receive the National Respect and Care for the elderly’s model unit award and Nan Qi Morning Post published this disgusting article about them. This might be their revenge, or someone is trying to frame him.
I can tolerate the previous incident.
I still have not settled the score with you all, and you all are doing it again now.
Dong Xuebing asked Zhou Yanru to leave and called the Disciplinary Work Committee Secretary, Qu Yiqiang. “Secretary Qu, I remember you mentioned seeing Organization Department Deputy Chief Peng Kun having dinner with Nan Qi Morning Post Chief Editor.”
Qu Yiqiang replied. “Yes. It’s a Deputy Chief Editor.”
Dong Xuebing controlled his anger. “What’s his name?”
“His surname is Pang. But I can’t remember his full name. I will check and get back to you.”
“Ok.”
A few minutes later, Qu Yiqiang entered Dong Xuebing’s office. He had found out about that article and came to tell Dong Xuebing the name of the Deputy Chief Editor. His name is Pang Dabing, a local in Fen Zhou City. The reporter, Liu Gang, is his relative. He wrote the first article because of Peng Kun, who wanted revenge against Dong Xuebing. But this time, Nan Qi News Agency had crossed the line.
Dong Xuebing remembers these two names, but he doesn’t have time to deal with them. He is worried about the District Government’s reaction. This incident did happen, and he was in the wrong. Furthermore, he had offended many people, and they might use this incident to attack him.
Dong Xuebing’s face turns cold.
