Power and Wealth

Next day.

Morning.

The cold wind had picked up, and the temperature had dropped.

Dong Xuebing drove his black Porsche sportscar into the City Party Committee Building compound. When he reached the Discipline Inspection Office Building, he saw two empty lots. Liu Hanqing did not block the lots with his Toyota Crown. His car should be in the repair shop, and he had called in sick today. Dong Xuebing did not know if he was sick or wanted to avoid work due to his father's arrest. He had asked for it, and Dong Xuebing understood why Xie Huilan and many others told him to restrain himself in the government sector. Someone who is too arrogant will be targeted, and Liu Hanqing is an example.

But Dong Xuebing will still maintain his working style. He will not mess with others if they do not mess with him.

Dong Xuebing got out of his car and closed the door.

Some staff, who were on their way to work, saw him with weird looks.

Dong Xuebing knew everyone was still talking about yesterday's incident and was okay with it. Putting Liu Hanqing in place was also establishing his authority. He cannot let others think he is a pushover, or he will face countless troubles in the future. He had to show others what he was capable of, and they had to think twice before finding trouble with him.

Luo Haiting arrived at work on her electric bicycle.

Sister Luo was wearing a white dress with floral prints, and Dong Xuebing felt cold watching her. A gust of wind blew her dress helm higher, showing her black stockings. It attracted the stares of much older Commission for Discipline Inspection staff.

Dong Xuebing stopped and smiled. "Good morning, Director Luo. You are very early today."

Luo Haiting smiled and locked her bicycle in the bicycle stand. "I am staying opposite here. It is only three minutes by foot, and it's faster with my bicycle."

Dong Xuebing was puzzled. "Opposite here? Where?"

Luo Haiting smiled and pointed towards the entrance. "City Party Committee Second Guesthouse."

"Huh? You still have not been assigned an apartment?"

"There is a shortage of apartments in the Commission for Discipline Inspection quarters."

"Oh, I see. Let's go up together."

"Director, I heard Deputy Director Liu Hanqing is in the hospital now."

"I know. Old Liu had been working too hard recently."

The Commission for Discipline Inspection Building.

Dong Xuebing and Luo Haiting were on their way upstairs when they met Deputy Secretary cum Office Director Gao Wenrong. He was on his way downstairs.

Dong Xuebing smiled. "Director Gao. Are you busy?"

Gao Wenrong replied. "Haha…. Not really. I am looking for you."

"Oh? What is it?" Dong Xuebing asked.

Gao Wenrong took out a bunch of keys and an envelope for Dong Xuebing. "The address and unit number are inside. We had an empty apartment recently, and I had asked my men to clean it. You can move in tonight. These are the keys, and it is a two bedrooms apartment."

Dong Xuebing took the keys from Gao Wenrong. "Thanks, Brother Gao. Oh, didn't we have a shortage of apartments?"

Gao Wenrong sighed. "Yes. Many buildings were damaged because of the earthquake. But we have to clear an apartment for you first."

Luo Haiting looked at the bunch of keys enviously but did not say anything. She still had not been assigned an apartment too.

Dong Xuebing thought for a while and placed the keys back into Gao Wenrong's hand. "Thank you, Director Gao. I know it was not easy to clear an apartment. But I am alone, and I can stay everywhere. Leave this apartment for someone who needed it more."

Gao Wenrong shook his head. "How can I do this? You are Inspection First Office Director, and I settled your lodging problem first. We will think of other solutions to help those staff without apartments."

Dong Xuebing refused. "Many people had been waiting for their apartments, and I had only come for two days. I will feel uncomfortable if I accept this apartment. Brother Gao, please listen to me."

Gao Wenrong smiled. "I know you are concerned for others, but I had brought the keys. This…."

Dong Xuebing thought for a while and glanced at Luo Haiting. "How about this? Our Director Luo Haiting has been here for a week, and she is different from me. She has a son, husband, and elderlies in her family. I think she needs this apartment more than me."

Luo Haiting quickly waves her hand. "I cannot accept it. No…."

Gao Wenrong was okay with this arrangement. "Alright, since Director Dong had requested for this."

"This is not right." Luo Haiting tried to reject. "Director, you should stay in the apartment."

Dong Xuebing replied. "Just hold on to the keys and stop pushing. That's it."

Gao Wenrong passed the keys and envelope to Luo Haiting. "That's right. Director Dong is concerned about his subordinates, and you should stop rejecting his kind gesture. Alright, I have finished my job here. Bye."

Dong Xuebing brought Luo Haiting to his office a while later.

Luo Haiting held the bunch of keys and envelope and looked at Dong Xuebing gratefully. "Thank you, Xuebing."

Dong Xuebing smiled. "Don't mention it."

Dong Xuebing knew he would have a place to stay when Xie Huilan came over. No matter how significant the shortage of apartments was in Fen Zhou City, they will find a house in the City Party Committee Family Quarters for the Deputy Mayor. Furthermore, it will be a lovely apartment or house.

Dong Xuebing didn't mind having an apartment for himself, but it was a big deal for Luo Haiting. Sister Luo immediately says. "I will help you clean up your office."

"Ah, you don't need to do this."

"It's alright. I got nothing to do anyway."

"Hey, Sister Luo, you are making me angry."

"Haha…. Just leave it to me."

Luo Haiting ignored Dong Xuebing and started sweeping and wiping the bookshelves.

Dong Xuebing could not stop Luo Haiting and started working. He took out a document with his department subordinates' simplified resumes to read.

Suddenly, Luo Haiting started to clean Dong Xuebing's desk.

Sister Luo bent over, and her dress opened slightly due to the weight of her breast. Her fair breasts and pink lacy bra were exposed to Dong Xuebing.

Dong Xuebing took a deep breath, and his heart was racing.

Luo Haiting seemed like she did not notice it and continued to wipe the desk. Her breasts swayed with her movements in front of Dong Xuebing.

Dong Xuebing could smell the scent of a mature woman.

The distance between both was close, and Dong Xuebing felt his face was about to be buried into Sister Luo's huge racks. It was too near, and he could see it clearly.

Swaying…. Swaying….

This was enticing.
