Power and Wealth
Chapter 546 – Seeking help!
Morning.
Subdistrict Office, Party Secretary Office.
Zhou Yanru and Qu Yiqiang dropped by Dong Xuebing’s office to ask him for updates.
They heard the District is going to punish Director Dong. Although they know Dong Xuebing is innocent, and the punishment will not be severe, it is still frustrating even if it is an unrecorded verbal warning. If someone with malicious intent reveals Dong Xuebing is punished, it will confirm that Nan Qi Morning Post’s article is right. That means Guang Ming Subdistrict Office is wrong.
“Director, the District…” Zhou Yanru.
“I had reported to the higher-ups.” Qu Yiqiang said. “But the District did not give me an answer.”
Wang Yuling also entered the office angrily. “They injure our people, and they still want to punish us?! Director, I will go to the District now!”
Dong Xuebing is pleased with their concerns and waved his hand. “Don’t need. I will handle this. Go back to work.”
“But…” Wang Yuling wants to ask her uncle for help.
Dong Xuebing knew her intentions but didn’t allow her to call her uncle. He told them to return to work. Ask her uncle for help?! From Cao Xupeng’s tone, it seems Wang Anshi does not have a good impression of him. Maybe this incident is created by Wang Anshi and the Organization Department Chief Xue Qingrong. This is the disadvantage of not having a good relationship with the Leaders. If Dong Xuebing is close with the District Leaders, they will speak up for him and not allow anyone to blow up this incident. After the article is published, all the Leaders are going after him.
You all want to punish me?!
Come on!
Do you all think I am afraid of you all?!
Dong Xuebing suppressed his anger. Do you think you all can do anything you want with me just because you all are District Leaders?! I shall see who dares to punish me!
Dong Xuebing is different species in the Government Service. His first reaction is not to improve his relationship with the Leaders when they are picking on him. He would challenge the Leader instead and will not allow himself to be picked on by anyone! Submissive?! This word does not exist in his dictionary!
Dong Xuebing can see through Peng Kun now. The District Leaders should not be united. Even if those Leaders are from the same faction, they will have their thoughts. Peng Kun was questioned by the Commission for Discipline Inspection yesterday and might be punished. From his meeting with Secretary Wu Liang, he can tell Wu Liang does not like Peng Kun, and the Xue Qingrong could not help him. That’s why Peng Jun got Nan Qi Morning Post to publish this article to push the blame to Dong Xuebing. He might escape punishment if all the attention is on Guang Ming Subdistrict.
Dong Xuebing doesn’t know what happened or Peng Kun’s relationship with the Leaders. But his guess should be right.
Do you want to use the newspaper to attack me?!
Do you think you are the only one who knows people in the newspaper agency?!
Dong Xuebing took out his phone and called Su Jia. “Hello, Sis. Are you busy?”
“I had just finished writing an article and am free now.”
“Have you read today’s copy of Nan Qi Morning Post?”
“Nan Qi? No. That is a small agency, and we do not subscribe to them. I think they are more active in Nan Shan District.” Su Jia is currently the Leader of Fen Zhou City Daily’s editorial department. Her newspaper agency is the mouthpiece of the City Government. It is one of the biggest newspaper agencies in the city. Naturally, she will not notice a small agency like Nan Qi. The papers they subscribe are Provincial newspaper or People’s Daily. “What happens with Nan Qi Morning Post?”
Dong Xuebing relates the whole incident to Su Jia.
Su Jia frowned after Dong Xuebing finished. “These scums are tarnishing our media department’s image!”
“Someone is behind them, and they are trying to make me the scapegoat!”
“What about the District?” Su Jia asked. “What did your District Leaders say?”
“They did not say anything, but they refused to recall Nan Qi Morning Post’s papers. I heard they are also going to punish me and go along with the article.”
Su Jia slapped her forehead. “Don’t tell me that you still have not established any relationships with your Leaders?”
Dong Xuebing laughed. “You should know me well. I am good at my work and am not afraid of any problems. But I am not good at building relationships.”
Su Jia knows Dong Xuebing well and knows why he doesn’t want to have a good relationship with his Leaders. He must be unhappy with his Leaders because of some reason. He ignores all orders when he is mad, but this is also why she admires him. It is a miracle for someone who doesn’t abide by the rules to be promoted to his current rank.
“Sis, can you help me?”
Su Jia replied without hesitation. “Leave it to me. There should have been enough time.”
“Thank you.”
“What’s there to thank? They are bullying our family!”
Dong Xuebing had become more experienced after facing so many similar incidents. The former him would have gone to smash up Nan Qi Newspaper Agency now. But now, he learned to get help from others.
After hanging up, Dong Xuebing called the Office Department. “Hello, Director Zhou? It’s me.”
“Director, do you have any orders for me?” Zhou Yanru replied.
Dong Xuebing looks at his watch. “Does our Office subscribe to the City Daily?”
Zhou Yanru replied. “We subscribed to City Daily and City Morning Post. The Morning Post is here, and City Daily will arrive in the afternoon. Do you need it? I will bring over the Morning Post now.”
“No need. Just send a copy of this afternoon’s City Daily to me.”
“Yes.” Zhou Yanru is puzzled. What’s wrong with City Daily?
One hour….
Three hours….
Five hours….
Rumors about the District is going to punish Dong Xuebing spreads. Rumors appear for a reason. For example, news about the transfer of Leaders starts from rumors, and it is a signal. Everyone in Guang Ming Subdistrict Office is furious, and all of them are scolding Nan Qi Morning Post.
But as everyone thought Dong Xuebing would become a scapegoat, the City Daily newspaper is out.
