Chapter 1622 – Cadres with dirty and disheveled appearances
At the mouth of the alley.
After the call.
Director Wang blinked, “Director Zheng, what did the leader say?”
Director Zheng fell silent momentarily, “… He told us to go back to the bureau.”
“Ah? Go back?” Another cadre said, “What about this matter? And the cars?”
Director Zheng growled, “Enough talk! Go back and write self-criticisms! Prepare to be criticized!”
“Write self-criticisms?” Director Wang and the other cadre were stunned, “How could… we…”
The three drivers and the police and traffic officers standing nearby were also dumbfounded. What did this mean? Not only did the higher-ups not support them, but they also wanted them to write self-criticisms.
Everyone felt a sense of unease and disbelief as they glanced at Director Zheng’s darkening face after the call. They almost understood. They all turned their gaze to Dong Xuebing, somewhat incredulous.
Who is this person?
Who did he contact?
How come even the leaders of the Western District didn’t speak up?
At this moment, they realized that this young man who had been challenging them seemed to know people from the City Traffic Management Bureau, too!
This is bad!
We’ve encountered a tough one!
The leading police officer who had just said they would take Dong Xuebing back was now a little pale. After holding back for a long time, he didn’t say a word! The face was irretrievable, and they had no face to continue embarrassing themselves here. Led by Director Zheng, they all left dejectedly.
However, Dong Xuebing stopped them. “Wait!”
The few turned around, not knowing what he still had to say.
Dong Xuebing pointed strongly to the alley entrance and said, “This is the parking space for the residents of our alley. Regardless of your reasons, from now on, if any of your cars dare to park in our alley, I will tow them away!”
This was very arrogant. Director Zheng and the others felt suffocated, but they didn’t retort. Under the gaze of the surrounding residents, they left with their heads hanging low.
All their cars were towed away, and they had no means of transportation.
The cadre, police, and drivers could only stand on the roadside, eagerly hailing taxis.
It took a long time for them to gather their vehicles and disappear quickly from the crowd’s sight.
The onlookers were all delighted!
“Oh!”
“Get lost!”
“Haha! Well done!”
“It’s a relief!”
“Letting you be arrogant! Letting you park wherever you want!”
Everyone cheered and made noise!
This time, Dong Xuebing hit those people hard in the face. Not to mention that they now knew Dong Xuebing wasn’t an ordinary person; even if they didn’t know, after this towing incident, these people would no longer dare to park here in the future unless they didn’t mind causing a scene again. The matter was resolved. It could be considered entirely satisfactory.
Dong Xuebing finally took out the photos he had taken with his phone earlier and texted Secretary Shen the police officer’s badge numbers and the license plate numbers of several Audi cars.
As for how to handle it, that wasn’t Dong Xuebing’s concern. Let Secretary Shen handle it. Dong Xuebing was too lazy to follow up on such trivial matters. With just a phone call from Secretary Shen, everything would be taken care of.
“Xiao Dong!” Sister Ci walked over with a smile and grabbed his hand to pat it.
“You did great! Thanks to you this time!” Aunt Zheng also came over, “That’s right, Xiao Dong. If it weren’t for you making the call and getting people here, we would still struggle against them.”
Dong Xuebing modestly said, “It’s just that I know a few friends in the City Traffic Management Bureau. They were doing their duty. These people were just too careless.”
Next to them, a neighbor said, “Yes, they need to be taught a lesson!”
Someone said, “I bet those people won’t dare to come to our alley anymore!”
A young person laughed, saying, “Even police cars got towed away! This is too satisfying!”
As soon as the matter of the police cars was brought up, everyone burst into laughter.
Today, they had truly witnessed something extraordinary and enjoyed quite a spectacle!
Towing police cars?
That was incredibly domineering!
Many people felt their blood boiling with excitement!
Seeing everyone happy, Dong Xuebing was also in a good mood. Although he had only been living here for two days, he had already immersed himself in the atmosphere. Since they were all neighbors, Dong Xuebing naturally stood in solidarity with everyone in such matters. After exchanging a few polite words with the neighbors who came to greet him, Dong Xuebing made an excuse and returned to his courtyard house.
It was time for dinner.
He decided to cook something himself.
Humming a tune, Dong Xuebing went to the kitchen to prepare dinner. After half an hour, when he came out, many voices were outside discussing the matter. People hadn’t dispersed yet.
“Big brother, what happened?”
“Hey, don’t you know about it? Such a big thing!”
“Hey, I just got off work. Why are there so many people outside?”
“Hehe, let me tell you. Do you know those government officials who always park randomly in our alley? They came again today, and the police came too, showing off their power. The expressions on their faces were… well, you can imagine. But guess what? That guy who had just moved into the single courtyard made a phone call and had six tow trucks come. Without a word, he just towed away their cars, including the police cars!”
“What? Even police cars?”
“Haha, that’s hilarious!”
“Hey, I wish I had finished work earlier!”
“You came late. You didn’t see their faces when they left. They looked utterly embarrassed, couldn’t even hold their heads up!”
“Well, that’s satisfying!”
“Absolutely! It feels so relieving!”
“That young man, who is he…”
“I don’t know, but he’s not ordinary.”
Everyone was still discussing excitedly.
Dong Xuebing listened to the conversations in the courtyard, feeling amused and exasperated at the same time. Shaking his head, he went back to have dinner.
By around seven o’clock in the evening, Dong Xuebing’s courtyard house was bustling with activity. Knock, knock, knock—there were continuous visitors at the door.
“Xiao Dong.”
“Sister Ci, you’re here?”
“I brought some fruits for you.”
“Oh, thank you so much.”
“Young man, I’ve come uninvited.”
“Oh, Uncle, please come in.”
“Hehe, we’re neighbors now. I thought I’d come over and thank you for your help today. You helped us get rid of a nuisance. It’s so satisfying!”
“Uncle, you’re too polite. I’m also from our alley, and everyone’s matters are my matters, too. It’s only natural.”
“Well said! Come to my place when you have time, and we’ll play some chess.”
“Sure, I’ll visit when I have time.”
One…
Three…
Five…
Eight…
Many neighbors visited, making Dong Xuebing’s once-empty courtyard suddenly lively and bustling with people.
