Power and Wealth
Chapter 557 – Let’s see who will win!
It’s almost after office hours.
The noisy promotional activity is still ongoing behind the Guang Ming Subdistrict Office building.
“Li Zhi Restaurant had given out three sets of vouchers. Anyone else wants to participate in our quiz?”
“Me! It should be my turn. I had a queue for half an hour.”
“Alright. Let’s welcome this guy to the stage.”
The glass windows vibrate from the noise, and the Subdistrict Office’s staff cannot concentrate on their work.
Work Party Secretary Office.
Dong Xuebing calmly called Chu Qinghua. They had exchanged numbers at the banquet earlier.
“Hello, Director Chu?”
“Oh, Director Dong. What is it?”
“Many of our residents had lodged complaints against Li Zhi Restaurant under your jurisdiction. Didn’t your residents complain against them?”
“Really? I don’t know about this. No one had told me about this. What happened?”
“Noise pollution. They are shouting through speakers and affected our residents. Our Subdistrict Office can hear them even with our windows closed. Director Chu, I don’t believe that your residents did not complain against them. Shouldn’t you send your men to check?”
“Oh? I don’t know about this. I will get someone to investigate.”
Dong Xuebing sneered. “You don’t know about this?! Maybe. But let me put this straight. Don’t go overboard.”
Chu Qinghua coldly replied. “What do you mean?”
“You should know what I mean.” Dong Xuebing has a foul temper and doesn’t mind falling out with Chu Qinghua. He did not give Dong Xuebing any ‘face’ and still used dirty tricks behind his back. How can Dong Xuebing tolerate him? “I will not mention this afternoon’s incident, but I will keep that in mind. You might not understand my character, but you will know soon enough. Now, your Subdistrict Office is letting Li Zhi Restaurant cause disturbance to the surrounding residents and ignoring their complaints. Not only are your residents affected, but our residents are also affected. I hope Ping An Subdistrict Office will do your job and do something with Li Zhi Restaurant!”
Chu Qinghua laughed. “We don’t need Guang Ming Subdistrict to teach us what to do.”
“I also hope so. If this dispute is not solved, I don’t mind helping some useless Leaders do their job!”
Dong Xuebing hangs up the phone.
Five minutes….
Ten minutes….
Twenty minutes….
It’s after work hours, but Dong Xuebing did not see any staff from Ping An Subdistrict Office appearing at Li Zhi Restaurant. They are not going to do anything.
Is this a provocation against me?!
Fine! Let’s see who will win!
Dong Xuebing grabbed his bag, got into his car, and sped to Li Zhi Restaurant. He has never been afraid of anyone when it comes to causing trouble. Or else, he will not be called the God of Plague!
A big crowd is still outside of the restaurant’s entrance.
Dong Xuebing stopped his car and saw Zhou Yanru, Qu Yiqiang, Meng Shenguo, and other Subdistrict Office staff. Many staff will use this road to return to their Quarters. Guang Ming Subdistrict Office staff were furious over the noise disturbance and had come over to question Li Zhi Restaurant. Guang Ming Subdistrict and Ping An Subdistrict are not on good terms for years and have clashed countless times. Li Lu’s actions had also pissed them off.
“Remove the speakers immediately! This is an offense!”
“It’s only a promotion activity, and it’s not that serious.”
“You all had affected a Government Department office! Are you all trying to revolt?”
“It’s after office hours now. We will end our activity soon.”
Meng Shenguo and the rest had started arguing with Li Lu. Still, the latter showed an arrogant attitude and ignored them.
Dong Xuebing got out of his car.
“Director.”
“Director Dong.”
Dong Xuebing looked at the few speakers and asked. “Did anyone from Ping An Subdistrict Office came?”
Qu Yiqiang shook his head. “I didn’t see them.”
“They did not come.” Zhou Yanru angrily replied. “It’s been the whole afternoon. Some Ping An Subdistrict residents had come over to tell them to lower the volume and even called the Police. But none of their Police Officers came.”
Meng Shenguo asked. “Director, what should we do?”
Li Lu frowned when he saw Dong Xuebing.
Dong Xuebing stared at Li Lu. “Are you not going to remove the speakers?”
At this moment, one of the waiters shouted. “Boss, we have given out all the vouchers.”
“Give out another 2,000 RMB worth of dining vouchers!” Li Lu shouted and did not look at Dong Xuebing. This implies that he is going to carry on with his promotion activity.
Zhou Yanru is furious. Guo Mingfeng and Yu Rongfeng, who had just arrived, were also furious. This is not the time to talk about factions. They are all from Guang Ming Subdistrict, and they are united against outsiders. All of them could not work because of the noise.
They are continuing?!
Dong Xuebing smiled and walked aside to make a phone call. He is calling Yu Meixia’s father, Liu Chenlong.
“Hello, Uncle Liu? I’m Xiao Dong.”
“Haha… I heard you had been transferred to Nan Shan District. When are you free? Let’s meet up for a drink.”
“Sure.” Dong Xuebing paused for a second. “Uncle Liu, there’s something I need….”
“What’s wrong?”
“There is a stubborn guy, the owner of Li Zhi Restaurant, at Nan Shan District, Ping An Street No. 3. They are making noise pollution with large speakers, disturbing our work. I hope you….” Dong Xuebing had looked for Liu Chenlong because Dong Xuebing had helped him once in Japan. Liu Chenlong owed him a favor, and he was recently appointed as Fen Zhou City’s Electricity Company General Manager.
Liu Chenlong thought for a while. “This is a small matter. Ping An Street No. 3, right?”
“Yes.”
“Alright. I will make a call.”
“Thank you, Uncle Liu.”
After hanging up, Dong Xuebing lit a cigarette and saw Zhou Yanru and the rest waiting for his instructions. He took a puff and walked back slowly. He tapped Li Lu, who is ordering his staff. “I had given you a chance, and you are the one who refused it. We have nothing more to say now. Mr. Li, since you want to play this game, I will play with you. Let’s see who will win.”
Li Lu had a smirk on his face.
Zhou Yanru and the rest heard what Dong Xuebing said to Li Lu and were stunned.
Suddenly there was a loud click, and the speakers stopped working. All the lights in Li Zhi Restaurant went out. It was total darkness!
Li Lu got shocked and is stunned!
