Power and Wealth
Chapter 1318 – Everyone knows him
Hospital.
In front of the lobby.
Everybody almost fainted when they heard Dong Xuebing.
Dong Xuebing said casually because this was normal to him. But Sun Kai’s colleagues and students were shocked.
Smashed their newspaper agency office?
This guy smashed a Beijing newspaper agency!
Who the hell are you?
Xie Jing paused for a second and asked. “Are you serious, Brother-in-law?”
Dong Xuebing nodded. “It’s a long time ago.”
Xia Yanzhen laughed and joked with Xie Jing softly. “Did you see it? This is your Brother-in-law. Other civil servants were cautious of their behavior and scared of creating trouble. They would scold or bang the table when angry. But your Brother-in-law barged into the City State Security Bureau, creating trouble at the Finance Ministry, and smashed a newspaper agency. Look at him. He is influential, and others are scared of him. I don’t have his influence. Hahaha… We should mention his name in the future. I think his name is more useful than Senior Xie’s.”
Xie Jing laughed.
The three Beijing Daily reporters reached the carpark and got into a Jetta.
Inside the car.
The reporters were unhappy.
“Why did we meet him here?” The younger reporter grumbled.
The middle-aged man looked at Dong Xuebing in the crowd. “Those few seemed to be Teacher Sun’s relatives, and he is among them. I think he is either a relative or friend.”
The female reporter asked. “Then what should we do?”
The middle-aged reporter waved his hand. “Let’s go back to the agency first.”
An intern reporter, waiting for them in the car, asked. “We have not interviewed the victim, Director Zhou.”
The middle-aged reporter lost his temper. “Interview? What interview? Just go.”
The female reporter explained. “You are new and don’t know what happened, Xiao Zhan. Let’s talk when we are back.”
They were furious but could not do anything against that hooligan after what happened previously. They were not afraid of those teachers and students. After all, they are from other cities and don’t dare to hit them. But Dong Xuebing is different. He dares to beat them up if they don’t leave.
They believed they would be beaten up if they remained there.
The intern reporter kept quiet and drove. He looked at that young man who scolded them earlier. He does not know him, but he knows Director Zhou’s temper and way of working. Director Zhou will do anything to get what he wants and is unafraid of anyone. This is why the agency likes him and assigns him to cover many negative news. However, the intern did not expect Director Zhou to leave after getting scolded by that young man.
The car left.
Many patients who were watching them left as well.
Dong Xuebing snubbed the cigarette in a rubbish bin and looked at the teachers and students. “You all must be tired. Go back and rest.”
A female teacher was worried. “Will those reporters write negative reports about Teacher Sun?”
Dong Xuebing laughed. “Don’t worry. They don’t dare to write anything bad about Teacher Sun. I smashed their newspaper agency once and can do it again.”
The female teacher: “……”
The students: “……”
This guy kept talking about smashing their newspaper agency.
Dong Xuebing continued. “Go back. Thank you for being worried about Teacher Sun. Ah, you all don’t have transport. I will arrange a bus for you all.”
The male teacher said. “No need. We are staying nearby.”
A female student said. “Please take care of Teacher Sun.”
Dong Xuebing looked at the student and recognized her. She was one of the students Sun Kai saved, and he scolded her last night. He walked over. “Sorry for yesterday. I was frustrated when I saw Xiao Sun severely injured. I’m sorry for scolding you. Don’t take it to heart.”
The female students quickly replied. “It’s fine… it’s fine…”
“I will treat everyone to dinner a few days later. Oh, when are you all returning?” Dong Xuebing asked.
Xie Jing told him their school trip was over and they should return soon.
A teacher replied. “The bus is coming this afternoon. The school worries about the students’ safety and wants us to return them quickly.”
The students protested.
“Teacher Sun is still warded!”
“That’s right. We are not leaving!”
“Let us stay until Teacher Sun is out of danger.”
“Teacher Li, can you speak to the school?”
The teachers do not want to leave. They were concerned about Teacher Sun’s condition but had no choice. Their principal ordered them to return, and they didn’t have enough funds to stay a few more days.
“Teacher…”
“Let us stay and care for Teacher Sun for a few more days.”
“We cannot leave Teacher Sun alone here.”
The students pleaded. The teachers discussed and called the school principal.
The principal replied firmly. “Let two teachers remain to care for Teacher Sun. The students must return!”
The male teacher replied. “But the students do not want to leave. They wish to…”
“An accident had happened. Who is going to be responsible if something else happens? You? Me?” The principal scolded.
“This…” The teacher does not know what to say. “We…”
Dong Xuebing could guess the outcome from that teacher’s expression. He looked at the reluctant students, and he walked over. He reached out to the teacher. “Pass me the phone. I will speak to your principal.”
The teacher was stunned. “You? But…”
Dong Xuebing took the phone from the teacher. “Hello, Principal?”
The principal frowned. “You are?”
Dong Xuebing said. “I am Teacher Sun’s friend. I understand the school is worried for the student’s safety. But you might not understand the current situation. The students are worried, and they waited in the hospital last night. They are exhausted, and I think they should not leave today. Let them stay a few days until Teacher Sun is better. Don’t you think this is better for them?”
The principal thought to himself. Who the hell are you to order me?
But the person on the phone was Teacher Sun’s friend, and the principal replied nicely. He was also touched by Sun Kai risking his life to save his students. His actions brought honor to his school. He heard Beijing TV station and newspaper agencies went to interview them. “This is an order from the city, young man. We are afraid something similar will happen. That’s why…”
“The city?”
“Yes.”
“All right. I will get my Mum to call you later.”
“Ok… Huh? Your mum?” The principal was stunned. Why are you getting your mother to call me? He was confused.
Dong Xuebing hung up. He looked at the teachers and students and took out his phone to call his mother.
The line got through.
Dong Xuebing said. “Hello, Mum?”
Luan Xiaoping asked. “Is Teacher Sun all right?”
Dong Xuebing laughed. “How can anything happen to Xiao Sun with me around? Oh, the city wanted the students on the school trip to return. They are worried about Teacher Sun. I think they should stay until Teacher Sun’s condition improves.”
Luan Xiaoping thought for a while and said. “They should be asking the students back for their safety.”
“It was an accident. Beijing is not dangerous, and those criminals were caught. It’s fine. I will ask them to stay in their rooms at night.”
“I… I got to ask Old Yang.”
“Don’t trouble Uncle Yang over this small matter. You can call their principal and talk to him. All right. It’s settled, then. I will accompany Xiao Sun for a few days and will not return soon. Ok. Bye.”
“You brat only knows how to order your mother.”
Dong Xuebing turned to the students after hanging up. “It’s done. Go back and rest. You all will stay for a few more days. Call the school if you run out of funds. Call me if you cannot get funds from your school. I will settle it for you.” He likes these teachers and students.
“But…”
“What about the school?”
The teachers were stunned. What are you talking about? Stay for a few more days? Their principal had just told them to return immediately. Do you think calling your mother will help?
Who is your mother?
Is she that influential?
The next moment, that male teacher’s phone rang. It’s their principal.
The teacher quickly answered. “Principal?”
The principal’s tone changed. “Stay there with the students for a few days, Teacher Zheng. You must take care of Teacher Sun. I will get the finance department to send you more funds.”
The male teacher was shocked. “Huh?”
“Oh, is that young man who spoke to me over the phone earlier, surname Dong?”
“Ah? Yes.”
“All right. I know. Bye.”
The male teacher kept his phone and announced the good news to everyone.
The students cheered, and the teachers turned to Dong Xuebing. They did not expect he could change the school and city’s decision with a phone call.
All the teachers knew Teacher Sun’s friend was extraordinary.
The principal was sweating after he hung up. He thought to himself. Luckily, he spoke nicely to that young man, or he would be in trouble now. When he received the Mayor’s wife’s call, he remembered what that young man said. He also remembered a young man blocked the entrance to Lui An City’s Party Committee family quarters with his Porsche, stopping the wedding convey to leave. He also played funeral songs there.
The whole city knows about that incident.
Who does not know Lui An City’s Mayor’s wife has a wicked son?
Dong Xuebing was notorious in Lui An City, and everyone knows him.
