Chapter 701 – I will make you beg me to remove them
Afternoon.
The sun is shining brightly, and the sky looks like it’s on fire.
Dong Xuebing is in his office thinking about the whole incident. He knows many eyes in the District are watching him. His enemies are waiting for him to embarrass himself, but this advertisement board incident had become a stalemate.
The District Government is turning a blind eye to it.
The Industry and Commerce Bureau is dragging it out.
The Urban Enforcement Bureau is refusing to do anything.
All these people are targeting Dong Xuebing and Guang Ming Subdistrict Office.
Dong Xuebing knows he must handle this incident well, not only for himself and his career. It is also for the 43 lives lost in the earthquake because of the advertisement boards. This is not about giving in to settle it. He needs the wine factory’s advertisement boards to disappear from Guang Ming Subdistrict. There’s no room for negotiations.
Zhou Yanru sighed. “Director, what should we do now?”
Wang Yuling is simple. “How about we send our people to remove those advertisement boards?”
“This is against the regulations because we don’t have the removal paperwork.” Zhou Yanru rejected her suggestion.
“But the Industry and Commerce Bureau is refusing to investigate, and they are going to drag it until next week.” Wang Yuling felt terrible when she saw Guang Ming Subdistrict Office getting isolated.
Dong Xuebing calmed down. “Alright. That’s it for today. Go back and rest. I will settle this myself.”
Zhou Yanru and Wang Yuling exchanged looks and left.
Dong Xuebing looked at the time and left his office.
Dong Xuebing can hear those Subdistrict Office staff talking about this incident on his way to his car.
“When Director Dong was just transferred here, our Subdistrict Office is the best.”
“That’s right. But Director Dong had offended too many people now.”
“What are the Industry and Urban Enforcement Bureau doing? We only want to remove those illegal advertisement boards.”
“They see us as pushovers now and know we cannot do anything to them.”
Dong Xuebing’s eyes turned cold after he got into this car. Pushovers? We are not pushovers. That’s right. He is in this plight because he has offended many Leaders and can’t continue with his work properly. But they are wrong to think he is a pushover. Song Qingming, do you think I can’t do anything to you? If he wants, he has more than a dozen ways to deal with Song Qingming without the District Government support. No one can imagine what he will do if he puts his mind on it.
Dong Xuebing drove to a restaurant to have his lunch. He parked his car in front of a restaurant and called the Wine Factory. He is giving Song Qingming one last chance. He knows how Song Qingming will respond, but he is still making this call. He is someone who does things openly. This is his working style. He is telling Song Qingming that he is going to deal with him.
Health Wine Factory.
Office.
Song Qingming is talking to ICBC bank’s Director Tang.
“Director Tang, we are all depending on you to help us with the loan.” Song Qingming lit Director Tang’s cigarette.
Director Tang nodded. “Don’t worry. Today’s appraisal is only a formality. It will be approved.”
Song Qingming laughed. “Thank you so much. Oh, what about the documents?”
“Next week.” Director Tang replied. “Come over next week with the documents.”
Song Qingming asked. “Our factory urgently needs this fund. Can your side give us the ten million….”
“The earliest is next week. There are a few more procedures to settle and cannot be rushed.”
“Alright. Please help us look into it.” Song Qingming has worked with Director Tang several times, and they are close.
Song Qingming walked Director Tang to the door and looked at him leave before returning to his office. His office phone rang.
The loan is settled, and Song Qingming is in a good mood. He answered the phone. “Hello?”
“Boss, Guang Ming Subdistrict Office Director Dong is on the line. He wants to speak to you.”
Song Qingming frowned. “Transfer his call in.”
The next moment, Dong Xuebing asked over the phone. “Is this Mr. Song?”
“Director Dong.” Song Qingming asked. “What is it?”
Dong Xuebing calmly replied. “There’s something I need to make clear to you. Your company’s advertisement boards are serious safety hazards to our residents. I believe no one wants to see another accident like this morning again. I hope you will remove your advertisement boards as soon as possible. You are a businessman, but I believe a good businessman should not only focus on profits. He should also be responsible for society. What do you think?”
Social responsibility?!
Who are you to teach me what to do?!
Song Qingming shook his head. “I already said that it was an accident. We will get someone to strengthen the fixtures of our advertisement boards. We will not remove them as our factory cannot afford the losses, and I don’t see the need to do that.”
Song Qingming had heard about the Industry and Urban Enforcement Bureaus’ response to Guang Ming Subdistrict Office. He knows these two District departments are unwilling to cooperate with Dong Xuebing, making him bolder. He knows Dong Xuebing can’t do anything to him and will not listen to what he says. Dong Xuebing had offended everyone, and many people were waiting to deal with him. Also, most of the Leaders Song Qingming knows are from Wang’s faction, and he is considered a member. Dong Xuebing had offended Wang Anshi, and he is his enemy.
Dong Xuebing continues. “If possible, I hope you will take the initiative to remove advertisement boards. Mr. Song, are you sure you are not going to remove them?”
Song Qingming sneered.
“Alright.” Dong Xuebing laughed. “Since this is your attitude, then I am telling you this. Your advertisement boards in our Subdistrict must be removed, but there’s no rush. Mr. Song, I will be waiting for you in my office to beg me to remove them.” Du… du… du… He hangs up.
Song Qingming laughed.
I will beg you to remove them?! Are you out of your mind?!
