Power and Wealth
Chapter 1627 – Is this the true Director Dong?
Silence.
Not a sound could be heard.
With the deafening sound of the car collision, the entire scene fell silent. Everyone stared dumbfoundedly at Dong Xuebing in the Xiali car.
“Oh my god.”
“What’s happening?”
“Sweat, is this still tolerable?”
“What’s going on? Did he step on the wrong pedal?”
“Hey, how did it hit over here?”
The next moment, the scene erupted into chaos belatedly.
Many people there were left gasping for breath in shock. The most embarrassed were Yang Zhen and the others from the General Division because they were involved in the conflict with the Second Office. They were standing next to the Audi A4. Although some people had shouted to warn them, many from the General Office were still slow to react. When the Xiali car finally collided with the Audi A4’s rear, they realized and hurriedly stumbled away. Yang Zhen almost tripped and twisted his leg while another clerk from the General Office ran in a panic and ended up colliding with an Odyssey parked nearby. It was quite a scene.
The crash was too loud.
It exceeded everyone’s expectations.
Instantly, many windows in the Supervision Office’s office building opened, and people stared in astonishment, speechless.
“What’s going on?”
“Why did they crash again?”
Other departments might not understand the situation, but the staff from the first to the seventh offices of the Supervision Office knew of the conflicts between the Eighth Division of the Second Office and the General Office, as they were in the same office building and were familiar with each other. Over the years, they had seen the two departments argue and quarrel many times. They were used to it. Each time such disputes occurred, the leaders would eventually settle them. Although Yin Cheng’an from the Second Office tended to protect his subordinates, he still had a broad perspective on such matters. The head of the General Office was the same. So, despite the ongoing conflicts between the two Offices, nothing serious had happened. Therefore, many people in the building heard the commotion downstairs, glanced at it out of curiosity, and then returned to work. They were accustomed to such scenes and didn’t find them surprising anymore.
But today, the development of the situation shocked everyone.
When the people who opened the windows upstairs saw that Yang Zhen, the deputy head of the General Office, had his Audi A4 hit, and the car’s rear was almost crushed, they were simply incredulous.
“Xiali.”
“Whose car is that?”
“Shh, it’s the new level inspector from the Second Office.”
“What’s going on? How did they collide?”
“Look. Today’s incident between the Second Office and the General Office will not end well.”
More and more windows were opened upstairs, and almost all the staff from the first to the eighth Division of the Supervision Office learned about it almost instantly. Some people even came downstairs to watch the commotion.
The atmosphere at the scene became extremely strange.
He Zhou, Sun Zhaobang, and the others from the Second Office stared in astonishment.
Especially Han Fei. She looked at Dong Xuebing on the Xiali with incredulity. How could she have expected that after seeing them being bullied, Dong Xuebing not only didn’t leave but directly drove over aggressively? This completely exceeded Han Fei and the Second Office’s understanding of Dong Xuebing. Wasn’t he a low-key leader who didn’t even want to eat with subordinates? Wasn’t he a reclusive leader who didn’t bother to talk to subordinates? How could Director Dong be so domineering today?
Yes,
That’s being domineering.
When they saw the Xiali collide with the Audi’s rear, Han Fei and Sun Zhaobang felt goosebumps all over their bodies. The collision was so satisfying. But while it was satisfying, how would this situation end? The nature of the incident was too severe, and the impact was too negative. Once the leaders above knew about the situation, they would be furious. It was no longer a simple matter of apologizing and compensating with money. The leaders wouldn’t sit idly by.
They could think of it, and others naturally could, too.
Everyone at this moment had the same thought: What was this new Director Dong planning to do? This was called making a striking entrance. He had only been here for a few days, and during office hours, he crashed into a colleague’s car. They were all dumbfounded by Director Dong’s jerk behavior. They couldn’t understand it at all. They wouldn’t do this if it were anyone else or any cadre with a bit of political insight. At most, they would get out of the car, try to smooth things over, help their people, reason with others, clarify the situation, and solve the problem. Even if you got out of the car and scolded Deputy Director Yang a few times or yelled at the people from the General Office, it would be okay. But what did you do? You didn’t say anything; you just stepped on the gas and drove over. You even backed up the car for more impact, reversing for more than ten meters.
This was too unethical.
This was too aggressive.
All eyes were on Dong Xuebing’s face.
However, Dong Xuebing didn’t care. His expression was indifferent, as if he had done something wholly ordinary and didn’t care. But indeed, for others, this might be too exaggerated. But for Dong Xuebing, bumping into cars and dragging them away was something he had done countless times. It was too familiar.
As for being low-key?
What low-key?
Any more low-key, and he’d suffocate.
Dong Xuebing had already forgotten the advice of his mother-in-law and wife. In this situation, his temper didn’t allow him to be patient. As Dong Xuebing had said to his wife and family before, even if he didn’t want this official position, he, Dong Xuebing, would live his life freely.
That was Dong Xuebing for you.
There was no retreat in his dictionary.
There was no compromise in his character.
His head was held high, his feet firmly on the ground, and he couldn’t change it for a lifetime.
The Xiali engine turned off, but only for a few seconds. While everyone was still discussing and staring, Dong Xuebing started the engine again, stepped on the gas again, and slowly drove the car away amidst everyone’s exclamations. The front of the Xiali was pressed against the rear of the Audi A4, and the speed was relatively slow. The Xiali didn’t have much power, but even if the power was weak and the car was old, it was still a car. Despite the creaking and creaking, the front of the Xiali was scratched many times, and the paint was continuously peeled off, but Dong Xuebing didn’t feel sorry. There was nothing to feel sorry for. It was just a second-hand car worth a few thousand RMB. Even if it were stolen, he wouldn’t bat an eyelid. So, he pushed the Audi forward for five or six meters. After pushing the Audi A4 out, he turned the steering wheel. He calmly parked the Xiali in the designated parking space, unfastened his seatbelt with composure, straightened his collar, and leisurely exited the car.
Very chic.
As if nothing had happened at all.
The onlookers around were also speechless, utterly speechless.
The more Dong Xuebing behaved like this, the more furious the people from the General Office became. They had almost been hit! It was Deputy Director Yang’s car! However, those clerks and junior staff members who had just dared to criticize Han Fei, He Zhou, and others didn’t dare to say harsh words in front of Dong Xuebing. He was a leader from the Second Office, on the same level as Deputy Director Yang. It wasn’t their place to speak. Not everyone inside had backgrounds like Han Fei’s, nor did everyone dare to confront the leaders like Han Fei did.
Yang Zhen’s face turned pale with anger. He had almost fallen earlier, and now he was still a bit shaken. Coming to his senses, he rushed towards Dong Xuebing. “Are you trying to kill someone?”
Dong Xuebing looked at him coldly. “Are you trying to die? What were you doing when parking? If you want to commit suicide, find a car to hit on the road. No one’s stopping you.”
“You…” Yang Zhen never expected to encounter someone like this. He was furious.
It was clear that Dong Xuebing was the one whose car got hit, but he seemed to have a bigger temper than Yang Zhen. “This is a road within the unit, everyone’s road. It’s not a big place, and you’re parking here. How long have you blocked it? Do you think this is your family’s road?”
A clerk from the General Office dared to speak up, “There’s another road over there.”
Dong Xuebing chuckled, “I know there’s another road there, but why should I go that way? I drove on this road. We all have to give way to you guys from the General Office. Who do you think you are? You’re overestimating yourselves. Go back and take a look in the mirror. Stop embarrassing yourselves here.”
Han Fei was stunned.
He Zhou, Sun Zhaobang, and others were also dumbfounded.
Director Dong was usually taciturn based on their interactions with Dong Xuebing over the past few days. When someone greeted him, he just nodded, not saying a word. How come today, when he opened his mouth, he was so imposing and majestic?
Was this still Director Dong?
Why did he seem like a completely different person?
Or perhaps this was his true colors.
The group from the Second Office exchanged astonished glances. Dong Xuebing’s impact on them today was too great.
They guessed right. This unreserved attitude was Dong Xuebing’s true character. He had been so bored during his time at the Disciplinary Inspection Commission. Hadn’t they seen him arguing with people on online forums under a pseudonym? This guy was bored. Now that he had exploded, how could he hold it back? Dong Xuebing felt he would die of boredom if he didn’t find something “interesting”. Yang Zhen was just unlucky. People who knew Dong Xuebing knew he was the kind of person who could find trouble even when there was none. Yang Zhen went looking for trouble with him not once but twice. He was practically inviting Dong Xuebing to deal with him.
