Power and Wealth

Afternoon.

Dong Xuebing left secretary Cang’s office and returned to his car. He slammed the door loudly and drove out of the compound. Many people were shocked by him, but they would know this is his temper if they knew him. He would return the respect several folds if someone showed respect to him. But if someone is to disrespect him or trampled over him, he will not show face. So what if you are the District Party Secretary?! F**k off! Do you think I must suck up to you?

My life will still go on without your support!

I can still carry out my duties without you!

Do you think you are the Province Party Secretary?!

After this incident, Dong Xuebing can confirm Xiang Daofa was up to no good when he helped him get this position. He must have said something to Wang Shian, and that’s why he and his secretary are showing this attitude. Is this a warning to ask him to be obedient? Even if I had created many problems in Yan Tai County, I have never offended you or your district! This is ridiculous! You can show your powers and authority to whoever you want! I can’t be bothered with you!

Dong Xuebing doesn’t care if the District Secretary will have a bad impression of him. He has wasted almost an hour of his time and met two other people with low ranks while letting him wait. He is the one who provoked Dong Xuebing first. You all don’t have any respect for me, then don’t blame me for whatever is going to happen! Dong Xuebing had offended too many people and didn’t mind offending one more. He even dares to scold Xie Huilan’s Grandfather, Senior Xie, after drinking, and this is nothing.

…….

Guang Ming Subdistrict Office.

Level One Administrative Service Lobby.

“Is this how your Subdistrict Office do things? What kind of attitude is this?”

“Why don’t you talk about yourself?! You are grabbing my hand and still insisted I apologize?! You are the one who didn’t make yourself clear, and how can you blame me when you go to the wrong counter?!”

“You all… are too much!”

“This is a Government Agency! I am warning you not to create a fuss just because you are old!”

“This is the third time you scolded me! The third time! Where is your Leader?! I want to speak to your Leader!”

“Are you done?! Hurry up and get lost! Stop creating trouble here!”

“I demand an apology!”

The argument attracted a crowd. An Old Lady with a walking stick is grabbing onto the Subdistrict Office’s Office Department Deputy Director Wang Yuling. Wang Yuling can’t be bothered with the Old Lady, but the Old Lady refused to let her go. Many Leaders are aware of this incident but don’t want to get involved because of Wang Yuling. Only the Deputy Chief of the Service Lobby, Meng Shengguo, and Office Director Zhou Yanru are around.

Zhou Yanru persuaded. “Yuling, stop it!”

Wang Yuling retorted. “This Old Lady is too much! What else does she want?! She is purposely creating trouble here!”

Meng Shengguo is on Wang Yuling’s side, and he shouted to the Old Lady. “You are the one who didn’t ask properly and still dare to create a scene here?! You are affecting our work. If you carry on, we will call the Police!”

The Old Lady is furious. “Police?! What crime has I committed?! Ah!?”

The crowd could not stand it any longer and started whispering among themselves. All of them had been unhappy with the service staff of the Subdistrict Office.

“That Lady was asking for the filing counter, and I heard it from a distance!”

“That’s right. You all are the ones who gave the wrong directions and still dare to blame others?! You all are bullying us!”

“Even if she did not make herself clear, you all should not scold her! What upbringing do you have?!”

Wang Yuling is looking terrible. “Guards! Get the guards to chase them out!”

This is very common in the Subdistrict Office. Arguments between civilians and service staff happen almost every day, but the Subdistrict Office is not a bank. They don’t accept any complaints, and most of the time, the civilians will leave. Also, this incident involves Wang Yuling, and she is the District Party Secretary’s niece. No one will blame her, and she will get a lenient punishment at most. The other Leaders know the outcome and did not go downstairs to settle it.

Two security guards entered the lobby.

Wang Yuling ordered. “Chase her out!”

The guards exchanged looks and nodded. They went over and were about to drag the Old Lady out.

Dong Xuebing enters the lobby and is furious when he saw what was happening. “What is this?! Why is this not settled?!”

Meng Shengguo had not attended the welcome dinner yesterday as he had something on at home. But he had lunch with Dong Xuebing yesterday. He saw the new Director entering and quickly reply. “Director, we are working on it. Don’t worry. We will drag her out now.”

Dong Xuebing got more furious. “Drag her out?! I think you should be the one who should get out!”

Meng Shengguo is stun. “Huh? I…”

Wang Yuling took a glance at Dong Xuebing. “Director, this Old Lady….”

“Did I ask you to speak?!” Dong Xuebing shouted.

Wang Yuling is also shocked as she did not expect Dong Xuebing to shout at her.

Dong Xuebing turned and went over to hold that Old lady’s arm. “Auntie, sorry to have frightened you. It is our Subdistrict Office that had failed in our duties. Please calm down. I will apologize on behalf of the Office. Sorry… Are you going to do a filing? I will help you to the counter.” He saw the counter. “The counter is over there. I will help you over. Please watch your steps.”

The Old Leader looks at Dong Xuebing. “You are….”

“I am the Subdistrict Office’s Director. You can call me Xiao Dong.”

“Ah…” The Old Lady is surprised. “Are you their Leader?”

The Subdistrict Office Director is a high-ranking Officer to the Old Lady. Her anger is appeased when she saw Dong Xuebing apologizing and helping her. “Young man, I am not purposely creating a scene here, but that young lady is too much. She had wasted my time and scolded me.”

Dong Xuebing replied. “Don’t worry. I will handle this.”

The other Leaders heard Dong Xuebing’s voice and went downstairs. Geng Xinke, Qu Yiqiang, and Guo Mingfeng, who had just returned from the hospital, went to the lobby.

“Director.”

“Director Dong.”

Everyone is surprised by Dong Xuebing shouting at Wang Yuling over this incident. No Leaders have ever raised their voice at Wang Yuling since she started working here, let alone scold her. If she complains to the District Party Secretary, the Leader will be in trouble.

Dong Xuebing’s actions had exceeded everyone’s expectations. After the Old Lady completed her matter, Dong Xuebing turns to Wang Yuling and points at her. “Wang Yuling! Is this your working attitude?! Do you know what your role is?! You are a Civil Servant in a Subdistrict Office! Your duty is to serve the people! Instead of apologizing after giving the wrong directions, you still scold her?! What are you trying to do?! Do you have the self-consciousness of Civil Servant?!”

Wang Yuling stared at Dong Xuebing furiously. “You….”

Zhou Yanru, Qu Yiqiang, and the rest were shocked by Dong Xuebing. No one dares to say a word in the lobby, and even Geng Xinke is looking at him in shock.

Dong Xuebing continued. “What is the role of the Subdistrict Office?! Do you need me to repeat myself?! Did you forget about the rules and discipline guidelines?! How dare you argue with civilians at your workplace?! Stare?! Do you think you are right?! Try staring at me again!’

Wang Yuling’s eyes are all red.

It’s fine if you have no respect for me. But how dare you scold the civilians?! This is tarnishing the Subdistrict Office and my reputation! Dong Xuebing had already offended Wang Anshi and didn’t care about him anymore! When he remembers secretary Cang’s tone earlier to ask him to be lenient towards Wang Yuling, he got more furious. “You absented yourself from work yesterday and didn’t turn up for work this morning! Yet you didn’t even submit your leave application! Do you think the Subdistrict Office is your playground and you can come and go as you like?! If you don’t want to work here, pack up and leave!”

The new Director is scolding others!

He is scolding the District Party Secretary’s Niece!

All the Subdistrict Office Leaders and Staff Members drew a deep breath!

No one had ever shouted at Wang Yuling before, and her tears started flowing.

Dong Xuebing had been angry since morning and did not stop scolding, although Wang Yuling is crying. He continued for more than ten minutes in front of everyone. This is the first time he had scolded anyone like this.

Wang Yuling cried louder as Dong Xuebing scolded her.

Dong Xuebing stopped as he felt his voice is getting hoarse. Wang Yuling is covered in tears, and everyone is looking at him in shock.

The crowd of civilians are happy and felt this young Director is right to scold her.
