Power and Wealth
Chapter 1319 – Creating trouble out of nothing
Noon.
Heping hospital.
Dong Xuebing does not dare to go too far from the hospital. He bought a few packets of food outside and returned to eat with Sun Kai’s sister and brother-in-law.
After lunch.
Sun Kai’s sister and brother-in-law were dozing off and looking terrible.
Dong Xuebing asked them to go back to rest. He can take care of Sun Kai himself.
Ring… ring… ring… Dong Xuebing’s phone rang.
Dong Xuebing took out his phone. It was Xie Huilan.
“Hello, Dear.”
“How is Xiao Sun?”
“Huh? How did you know?”
“Your mother just told me.”
“He is fine after the operation but needs to stay a few days more for observation.”
“I called Xiao Jing earlier. I heard you are the main surgeon for the operation. When did you become a doctor?”
“Ahem… I am more capable than you think.”
“You are getting proud after some praises.”
“I am telling the truth. You are lucky to get married to me.”
“Enough. Can you stop boasting?”
“How am I boasting? You do know I learned Chinese medicine. I read up on Western medicine recently and learned a bit. I am a fast learner and have nimble hands. Doing a few sutures is nothing.” Dong Xuebing said. “Oh, I am staying here with Sun Kai for a few days and will return after he recovers. Our County has an important Party Committee meeting I must attend next month. I might be flying back from Beijing.”
“You are so busy. We only got intimate a few times when you are back. Haha…”
“Ah… why are you talking about this?” Dong Xuebing quickly looked around to ensure the nurses did not hear it. “You are pregnant now.”
“Haha… Did you miss me?”
“Of course.”
“Ok. Go and do your things. I am busy here and might not return to Beijing soon. My Mum is at home alone. Go and visit her when you are free. Remember to visit my uncles and aunts too. You are in Beijing for many days and must stay in touch with your friends. It’s fine if I am in Beijing. But both of us are not working there now. We must keep in touch with our contacts. Do you understand? We must not let others find fault with us.”
“I know what to do.”
“You are smart. Haha… kiss me.”
“Stop it. I am in the hospital.”
“No one knows you. Hurry. Haha…”
“You are always doing this to me. Why are you not kissing me over the phone?”
“I will kiss you after you kiss me.”
“Deal.” Dong Xuebing looked around and kissed his phone. “I kissed. It’s your turn.”
“I got to attend a meeting. Bye.”
“Hey, you are cheating.”
“Hahaha… that’s all.”
“You…”
Xie Huilan hung up.
Xie Huilan’s antics amused Dong Xuebing. She loves to tease him.
Dong Xuebing looked at his phone and called Qu Yunxuan, Yu Meixia, and Geng Yuehua.
“Hello, Yunxuan, I might not be going back.”
“Why? Didn’t you say you are coming back these few days?”
“Sigh… something happened. How is our daughter?”
“She is fine. Don’t worry about us.”
“You treat me the best, Aunt Xuan. Haha… I will try to get a transfer back soon.”
“Hello, Meixia. I said I wanted to visit you but cannot leave Beijing now. I will visit you next time.”
“Ok. It’s fine. Take care of yourself.”
“All right, I will. You must take care of yourself and Qianqian.”
“Yuehua, it’s me.”
“Yes.”
“You were not around when I came back. I think we cannot meet this time. I got an urgent matter and have to leave from Beijing.”
“Ok.”
“Let’s meet again.”
“Ok.”
“I know you can’t talk right now. Bye.”
Dong Xuebing’s throat was dry after all the calls. He looked around for a water dispenser but could not find one. He was about to go downstairs when a nurse noticed him. She quickly gave him a paper cup of water. “Doctor Dong.”
Dong Xuebing thanked her. “Ah, thank you.”
The nurse smiled. “Don’t mention it.”
Everyone in the hospital treated Dong Xuebing as one of their own.
Dong Xuebing tried to explain the whole morning and could not be bothered to explain anymore.
Dong Xuebing quenched his thirst and called Xu Yan.
Ring… ring… ring… Xu Yan answered. “Xiao Dong?”
“Where are you, Sis Xu?”
“At work. Did you go back?”
“No. Something happened to a friend, and I cannot leave. How is your transfer? I am booking my flight back. I can book a ticket for you. You can board the flight in Beijing.”
“When are you leaving?”
“About eight days later.”
“Oh, I cannot go back with you.”
“Huh? Your transfer order is out?”
“Haha… yes. I received it this morning. I tried to call you, but I could not reach you.” Sister Xu seems to be in a good mood. She should be overjoyed as it’s hard for her to get promoted at her age. The Division Chief and a Deputy Bureau Director might be a rank apart, but their powers differ.
“Huh? I was busy this morning. What is your new position?”
“Qing Xi Province State Security Bureau, Deputy Bureau Director. I am reporting next month as I have to hand over my work to the person taking over. Go back first if you are busy. You don’t need to wait for me.”
Dong Xuebing was happy for her. “Congratulations.”
Xu Yan laughed. “It’s all because of you.”
“Are you coming back to Beijing? We can celebrate if you are coming back.”
“Go and do your things. We can meet after I go over to the Qing Xi Province. I will call you after I settle down in your province.”
“Sure.”
“I am hanging up. Haha.”
Dong Xuebing accomplished many things on this trip.
He settled the school issue for Huilan, protected Zhang Longjuan, solved her company’s financial issues, helped Xu Yan get revenge and promotion, and saved Sun Kai’s life. Dong Xuebing was satisfied. He could not stay still. Even when nothing happens, he will create trouble.
Book the air ticket.
It’s time to go back.
