Power and Wealth
Chapter 958 – This is what I am looking for
Home.
Dong Xuebing and Xie Huilan returned home.
Dong Xuebing stretched and yawned when he entered. “Ah…. I am so tired. Our results are not bad today. Uncle Yang and my mother went to Mayor Zhong’s place for dinner. They should be putting in some kind words for us. When Old Yang worked in Fen Zhou City, he was close to Mayor Zhong. I had offended Party Secretary and had bought Mayor Zhong’s calligraphy. We should join Mayor Zhong’s faction in the future. We can save a lot of trouble with his help. At least someone can back us if anything happens.”
Xie Huilan laughed. “3 million RMB for a calligraphy is quite expensive.”
Dong Xuebing thought nothing about it. “We have the means and don’t need to worry about the amount. Others don’t even have this advantage.”
“We stood out too much earlier, and it’s not good.”
“I understand. Do you think I want the attention?”
“I think so. Haha….”
“Stop. If that Song Fei did not compete with me, I would not increase the bid to 3 million RMB.”
“You are right. I met Song Fei once, and he is too money-minded. I don’t understand why the Construction Committee appointed him as the supplier for the earthquake rebuilding. From what happened earlier, this person is too greedy. He is willing to do anything for profit. We might have bought that painting for other motives, but it’s different from him.”
Dong Xuebing nodded. “He tried to disgrace my wife in public, and I will not let him off. I will investigate and get back the 3 million RMB from him.”
“Don’t do that. Are you trying to make things worse?”
“Don’t interfere. I know what to do. This person should be taught a lesson, or he would think we are pushovers.”
Dong Xuebing would return kindness and respect if the other party respected him. If anyone dares to go against him, he will not hold back. F**k! My wife and I did not offend you, and you want to treat us as stepping stones to please the City Mayor and Party Secretary?! Stepping all over us to make money?!
“What you should do now is focus on your work. Stop thinking about finding trouble with others.”
“Our Commission for Discipline Inspection doesn’t have much work. I had missed many days of work, and all I did today was sign off the documents. I don’t have any missions at all.”
“If you don’t have missions, go and find one. You should not sit there and wait.” Xie Huilan replied. “Many corruptions and bribery cases were initiated by Discipline Inspection staff. You will be too passive if you wait for a complaint to come in. Don’t you want to investigate cases?”
“You are right. If I can solve a case, it would add to my achievements.”
“Achievements? Other than this, you don’t have anything else in your head.”
“I am joking about it. Alright. I will go and investigate.”
“You are going now? It’s after 9 pm.”
“Anyway, I am just going out for a while. Go to bed first.”
“You…. Fine. Come home early.”
Dong Xuebing has been handling all sorts of troubles since he started working in the Discipline Inspection. He dealt with troubles with his colleague and even got involved in Foreign Affairs. Looking back, he had not focused on his duties and had no results. He will never get promoted if this carries on. Xie Huilan had reminded him, and he started thinking of how he should do his job. The auction and political rivalries were unimportant.
Dong Xuebing left home.
He did not go downstairs immediately. He smoked a cigarette in the corridor, thinking of his next step. After thinking for a while, he snubbed his cigarette and looked at the newspaper box outside his door. It’s not easy to investigate corruption and bribery cases. It was hard to gather evidence even if he had clues. That’s why he decided to use FORWARD again. It’s been a while since he used FORWARD. This ability would speed up time on an object. He could receive tomorrow’s or the day after tomorrow’s newspapers and will know what will happen. Previously, he learned about earthquakes through this ability. However, this ability requires too much of his power. One minute can only bring forward the time by one day.
Let me try it today.
I will move one day forward, and if it doesn’t work, I will move two or three more days.
Dong Xuebing had saved sufficient time to bring forward time. He opened the newspaper box in front of his house, and it was empty. He closed it and placed his hand on it.
FORWARD!
One second….
Ten seconds….
Twenty seconds….
The box’s time moved forward quickly
Dong Xuebing deactivated FORWARD after thirty seconds.
It was around half a day to morning, and he didn’t need to use one minute. Thirty seconds was enough.
Dong Xuebing exhaled and opened the box.
A newspaper was lying in the box, which was supposed to be empty. Dong Xuebing checked the date, and it was tomorrow’s newspaper.
He immediately grabbed it and went downstairs.
Party Committee family quarters.
Garden.
Dong Xuebing found a place to sit under a lamppost. He checked the surroundings for anyone before reading the newspapers. He flipped to the third page. Disciplinary reports on government staff are usually reported on this page. To his disappointment, nothing was reported.
Dong Xuebing flipped the following few pages and had no exciting news. There was nothing he could do even if he knew the future news.
The provincial government will hold an event, international meetings, etc. All these had nothing to do with Dong Xuebing.
Dong Xuebing took a deep breath and turned to the front page to see the headlines.
Newly rebuilt school after the earthquake collapsed. Seven dead, and five were injured.
Dong Xuebing was shocked. A school building that was rebuilt after the earthquake had collapsed, and seven people were dead.
This is a severe matter in Fen Zhou City. What was going on? The buildings should not be completed.
Dong Xuebing read the article and was shocked.
The contractors had cut corners and used substandard materials for the building, and the leader in charge had received bribes.
Earning money from a disaster?!
These people were too much.
Dong Xuebing hit the newspapers. This is what he is looking for.
