Chapter 84: D*mn! Did something wrong!

The next day.

"Eh, have you heard it?

"Heard what?"

"Xuebing had scolded Section Chief Xu and Xiao Dong!"

"Really? When did that happen?"

"Last night. I tell you..."

News of the arrogant father and son getting scolded by DongXuebing spread in the estate. Everyone who heard the news was shocked, and manydo not believe it. But when they saw the gloomy look on Section Chief Xu andhis family coming downstairs, they knew it was true. Section Chief Xu's familywas moving out! Those residents who were strolling, playing chess, marketing,etc. were all talking about last night incident. Some said that Dong Xuebinghad become a high ranking official and some said that Dong Xuebing had beat upSection Chief Xu and Xiao Dong, and they were too embarrassed to continueliving in this building. They had no choice but to move out. All sorts ofrumors were flying.

Section Chief Xu and his family were finally moving out.

Actually, the Customs had given Section Chief Xu anapartment more than 6 months ago, and they should have moved a long time ago.But Section Chief Xu was someone who wanted to be first in a village thansecond in Rome. There were many high ranking officers at the new apartment, andhe was nothing there. He could not show off his status. Only in this smallhousing estate at North Heping Street, he could enjoy the sense of superiority.But now, after he was forced to bow down to Dong Xuebing, he could no longerlive here. So, last night, Section Chief Xu contacted a housing agent to rentout this apartment and move out early this morning.

Western District Branch Bureau, General Affairs Office.

Dong Xuebing was sitting in his office with his legs crossed,reading the newspapers when he received an SMS from Qu Yunxuan. 'The Xu familyhad moved out.'

"Huh? Move out over such a small matter?" Dong Xuebing wassurprised. He immediately replied to Qu Yunxuan. "Then we will have peace inthe future." Good riddance. Dong Xuebing also did not want to see theirirritating faces. He put down his iPhone 4 and thought about last night'sincident. The incident was settled because of Guo Panwei. Dong Xuebing pickedup the phone on the desk and called outside. It was Tan Limei who answered it. "TanZhi, ask Guo Panwei to come into my office."

A few seconds later, Guo Panwei knocked and entered theoffice. "Chief Dong, are you looking for me?"

Dong Xuebing nodded and said: "Tomorrow I will be out of office. When I am not around, help me look after the rest of the staffs. Makesure everything in the office is in order. If I am not back in the afternoon,send the important documents or any documents which require a signature toChief Xu Yan and let her handle it. Remember to handle those classifieddocuments yourself. Just say it's my instructions if anyone questions you. Idon't trust anyone else."

Guo Panwei was on cloud nine. He replied excitedly. "Thankyou for your trust in me. Rest assured, I will make sure everything in theoffice is in order. I will pay special attention to Guo Shunjie. Oh, should Iincrease his workload? He does not have much work every day. This will affectthe other colleagues. If any leader comes in for rounds, they will think thatour General Affairs Office have nothing to do." Guo Panwei had conflicts withGuo Shunjie a few days ago and had a grudge against him.

'You are very evil.' Dong Xuebing thought to himself. "Youcan make the decisions."

Guo Panwei acknowledged. "Then I will go back to work. If you need anything, just give me a call."

Dong Xuebing nodded. After Guo Panwei left the office andcloses the door, Dong Xuebing picked up a few forms and walk out of his room.Tan Limei and Guo Panwei immediately sit upright, and Changjuan quickly putdown her eyebrow pencil and place her hands on the keyboard. Old Yan also putdown his newspaper and pick up a piece of report. Guo Shunjie looked up andthen continue typing furiously. Dong Xuebing was feeling great to seeeveryone's reaction. It feels good to be a leader!

Dong Xuebing walked around the office and then went upstairsto Xu Yan's office to discuss his task tomorrow.

After Dong Xuebing returned to his office, he sat down inhis leather chair and sip on his tea. It was so relaxing at work.

Just when Dong Xuebing was thinking about how to completethe task given to him by Deputy Chief Xu Yan, he heard people outside greeting"Director Li!" Dong Xuebing's office door opened suddenly, and Li Qing walkedin without knocking.

Dong Xuebing was shocked. He immediately stands up."Director Li." What was wrong? Why was Li Qing so furious?

Li Qing looked at Dong Xuebing in his eyes and asked: "ChiefXu had given a task to the General Affairs Office in the morning? How can I amnot informed?!"

Dong Xuebing was stunned. "Ah.... Chief Xu did not tell youabout it?"

Li Qing shouted with a black face. "Tell me? Chief Xu is myleader! Does she have the need to report all these things to me? Chief Dong,what is wrong with you? The relocation of 'Guesthouse' is a critical missionordered by Branch Bureau Party Committee! Fine! It's been several hours, and I,as the Chief of General Affairs Office, is still not aware of this task? If itweren't for Guo Shunjie, I still would not know about this mission given by theCommittee and Chief Xu!"

Guo Shunjie?

Damn! He backstabbed me!

But this was also Dong Xuebing's fault. He had become conceitedafter his promotion to Deputy Chief. Also, Li Qing had left everything to himand seldom care about the work in the General Affairs Office. This was why DongXuebing forgot to inform him and went to Chief Xu Yan straight with the formsfor approval. Damn. He had skipped his direct superior and went directly to thetop leader. This was a taboo in the Government sector. Dong Xuebing had coldsweat when he thought about this. He knew why Li Qing was so furious. AlthoughLi Qing had helped him in the past, he should not have done this!

Dong Xuebing tried to explain himself: "Director, it's myoversight. I..."

"Don't need to explain!" Li Qing stared at Dong Xuebing andstormed out of the office. He was considering taking back all the authoritieshe had given to Dong Xuebing and the General Affairs Office.

Guo Shunjie was laughing in his heart when he thought aboutwhat was going on in Dong Xuebing's office. Hahahaha. Serve you, right!

Dong Xuebing chased after Li Qing: "Director! Director!" LiQing did not even look back. Dong Xuebing could see Guo Shunjie holding backhis laughter and was furious. He stopped chasing immediately!

Fuck!

BACK!

BACK!!

BACK!!!

...

The scenes changed!

Dong Xuebing was holding on to a cup of hot tea and wasstill smiling. The moment time returns back to one minute ago, his smiledisappeared. He quickly put down his teacup and grabs the few forms on hisdesk. He immediately rushes out of his office with the forms.

Tan Limei, Guo Panwei, and the rest were shocked. They didnot know what happened.

Guo Shunjie could see Li Qing walking towards the main doorof the General Affairs Office from the corner of his eyes, and he knew the showhe was waiting for was starting. He smiled to himself and was waiting for DongXuebing to disgrace himself. Guo Shunjie had been tolerating Dong Xuebing andthe other staff members these two days. He was waiting for a chance to makeDong Xuebing fall out of favor with the leaders. Guo Shunjie knew there weremany unspoken rules in the government sector and the inexperienced Dong Xuebing could not be compared to him. Dong Xuebing will bound to make mistakes, and GuoShunjie will use the opportunity to blow up his mistake. This morning, GuoShunjie finally got the chance. He accidentally overheard that the Bureau willbe giving the General Affairs Office an important task of preparing a proposalfor the relocation of the 'Guesthouse' and he noticed Dong Xuebing going to XuYan's office several times. So, Guo Shunjie looked for an excuse to go to LiQing's office and "unintentionally" mentioned about this task to him. He only wanted to try his luck. But who knows that this Dong Xuebing was too na?ve. Hedid not report this task to Chief Li Qing! Skipping the direct supervisor andgoing to the top management? Hahahaha. This was a deadly mistake!

"Oh, Director Li, you are here?" Dong Xuebing asked inshock.

Li Qing was furious as he entered the office. He had highhopes for Dong Xuebing, but this time, Dong Xuebing had made a grave mistake.Li Qing had waited in his office for over an hour. He thought to himself thatif Dong Xuebing went to report to him, he would let him off after somescoldings. But he waited for 2 hours, and Dong Xuebing did not even show up.This had crossed the line!

Li Qing showed Dong Xuebing a black face and looked at him.He was about to question Dong Xuebing.

But before Li Qing said anything, Dong Xuebing saidsomething that surprised Li Qing and Guo Shunjie. Dong Xuebing said: "DirectorLi, I was just about to look for you to report a task!"

Li Qing stopped whatever he wanted to say. "What task?"

"Oh, it is about the guesthouse. Errr... I had wanted to tellyou about this in the morning. But I knocked on your office, and you are notaround." Dong Xuebing made up an excuse.

"Morning? You went to look for me in the morning?" Li Qingfrowned.

"Yes. I waited for quite a while."

"Oh... Maybe I went to the restroom."

Dong Xuebing passed the pieces of A4 papers to Li Qing. "Can I write this form in this way?"

Li Qing's anger was slightly appeased and looked at theforms. He nodded slightly.

Dong Xuebing continued: "Director, I should have informedyou once I received the task, but you are not in your office, and Chief Xuneeds it urgently. I am afraid that I would mess things up, so I made a draftof the proposal first. I wanted to report to you after I had completed it andyou should be back by then."

So, this was the reason. Li Qing patted Dong Xuebing'sshoulder and smile. "It's ok. In the future, just give me a call will do."

"How can I do that? It's better to report to you personally.After all, you are the person in charge of the General Affairs Office, and I amonly assisting you."

Li Qing nodded. He knew he had misunderstood Dong Xuebing.

"Oh,Director Li, youare looking gloomy just now. Did anything happened?"

"Haha, nothing. I have a toothache."

Guo Shunjie was furious as he saw Dong Xuebing and Li Qingchatting happily. He was sure that Dong Xuebing had forgotten to report to LiQing. If not, Dong Xuebing would not be panicking 10 seconds before Li Qingarrived. But Guo Shunjie was not sure why Dong Xuebing could rush out at thelast moment to save his skin. How did he know Li Qing was coming to the General Affairs Office? A coincidental?

Dong Xuebing secretly wiped his sweat. It was a close shave!
