Chapter 654: Surrounded by enemies

District Party Secretary Office.

A few moments after Wang Yuling left, Wang Anshi’s phone rang. It was his wife.

“Old Wang, I heard you are sending Xiao Dong to the Party School.” Madam Yan said.

Wang Anshi frowned. “Did Yuling tell you?”

“It doesn’t matter who told me this. I will never interfere with your decisions, but sending Dong Xuebing to the Party School…. What will you do if you have appendicitis again?”

Wang Anshi laughed. “Do you think he is the only one who can treat me?”

Madam Yan continued. “But you had visited two hospitals and undergone treatment for several days with no effect. Xiao Dong had only massaged you for a few minutes, and you recovered. You….”

Wang Anshi thought nothing about it. “Since he can suppress the pain, that means Chinese Traditional Medical Massage will work. I can look for another Chinese Medicine Doctor to massage me when I relapse. Are you asking me to beg Dong Xuebing for the rest of my life? There are a lot more to this.”

Madam Yan sighed. “I hope so. I just felt doing this was wrong. Xiao Dong had called yesterday morning to ask about your condition.”

Wang Anshi got impatient. “Do you think he cares about me? You don’t know anything.”

“No matter what, he had treated you. You are….”

“Who asked him to beat up others in a school?”

“That’s not a big deal, and you don’t have to send him to the Party School.”

“Xue Qingrong had brought all the evidence to me, and his son is still in the detention center. I got to soothe him during this period. Are you expecting me to let Dong Xuebing off? He is a troublemaker. To be honest, I will not accept him even if you want to join me. What if he got into another trouble? I would have to clear his mess. Old Xue is unhappy now, and if I don’t do something to Dong Xuebing, he would think I had worked with Dong Xuebing to target his son. This would change our relationship and might push Old Xue to Geng Yuehua. No matter what, Dong Xuebing must be given a warning. Stop talking about this matter.”

After a while.

Guang Ming Subdistrict Office.

“Hey, is it true?”

“I heard about it this morning. Everyone knows about it, and the District Organization Department had met our Director.”

“How come things change so fast? Our Director had just helped us win the Role Model Unit. Why is he being sent to the Party School suddenly?”

“Sigh…. Our Director had offended others.”

“Secretary Geng will be receiving the Role Model Unit award in Beijing.”

“Yes. Secretary Geng will also be taking over our Office operations from tomorrow onwards.”

“Sigh…. All of Director Dong’s effects are in vain. This is not looking good for him.”

“This is because Director Dong had not joined any faction. No one is willing to speak up for him.”

“Maybe Director Dong might lose his position after going to the Party School. Someone in the District Government is targeting him, and he might not even return after his training. Everything is going to change.”

“Eh, Director Dong is back. Let’s stop talking about this.”

A black Cayenne enters the Subdistrict Office compound and stops outside the office building. Dong Xuebing got out of the car and entered the building. A few staff saw the angry expression on Dong Xuebing’s face and quickly greeted him. News of Dong Xuebing going to the Party School had spread. Everyone knows he is in a precautious situation and might not keep his title.

Side building.

Work Party Secretary Office.

Dong Xuebing lit a cigarette behind his desk. He can feel the pressure suffocating him. He had not expected Wang Anshi to backstab him, but he could guess why. It must be because of Xue Qingrong and his son. Xue Qingrong is Wang Anshi’s trusted aide and holds a higher status than him. This is why Wang Anshi had targeted him to please Xue Qingrong. He was never bothered by what Dong Xuebing was thinking or how he felt.

This is what I get after sending you gifts and treating your illness.

If it were not for me, you would still be groaning in pain at the hospital!

Damn! This is too much! Who will do such things?

Dong Xuebing did not expect Wang Anshi to be someone like this. He is only concerned about his personal interest and doesn’t care about others.

Dong Xuebing had visited Wang Anshi in his office on his first day but was stopped by secretary Cang at the office. He was made to wait outside the office for no reason. Later, Dong Xuebing followed Xie Huilan’s advice and tried to mend his relationship with Wang Anshi. He had expressed his intentions by sending gifts and treating his illness. Suddenly, Wang Anshi turned around and targeted him. This implies that he is not grateful for Dong Xuebing treating his illness, and Dong Xuebing should be glad he was given a chance to render treatment to him.

F*CK!

Who do you think you are!?

Knock… knock…. Wang Yuling enters the office awkwardly.

Dong Xuebing looks at her. “Yuling?”

Wang Yuling apologetically said. “Director, my Uncle…. I went to look for him at the District Party Committee, but…. Director, I’m sorry.”

Dong Xuebing forced a smile. “Why are you apologizing? You have nothing to do with this.”

“But….”

“I…. I had asked for this myself. Haha….”

Dong Xuebing mocked himself for treating Wang Anshi.

Wang Yuling doesn’t know what to say, and she feels bad towards Dong Xuebing. He will be going to the Party School tomorrow, and Geng Xinke will be taking over his duties. She has been in charge of the National Respect and Cares for the elderly project, and Geng Xinke and her will get all the credit.

“Director….” Wang Yuling said. “How about I let Director Zhou take over the National Respect and Care for the elderly work?”

Dong Xuebing is pleased when he hears this, but he cannot agree. “Yuling, do you think this is a game, and you can pass it to whoever you want? Since I put you in charge of it, you must do your best.”

“But I….”

Knock… knock… knock…. Someone knocked on the door.

Dong Xuebing waved his hand. “Alright. Go back to work and stop thinking about this.”

Wang Yuling felt helpless and left.

Work Party Deputy Secretary Geng Xinke is outside of the office. He looks at Wang Yuling as they walk past each other and close the door behind him.

Dong Xuebing looked at Geng Xinke. “Secretary Geng?”

“Director Dong.” Geng Xinke slowly says. “The District Government met me earlier to inform me that you will be reporting to the Party School tomorrow, and I will be taking over your duties when you are not around. I am here to see what outstanding work you have and prepare for the handover.”

Hmph! You are so eager to replace me!

Dong Xuebing laughed. “I am leaving tomorrow.”

Geng Xinke smiles. “I know, but some work cannot be delayed. It’s good to prepare earlier.”

Geng Xinke is considered the Subdistrict Office’s No. 2, but he is only a Work Party, Deputy Secretary. Dong Xuebing is the Work Party Secretary cum Subdistrict Office Director. He is the No. 1 within the Subdistrict and is Geng Xinke’s direct superior. He did not hold back after hearing what Geng Xinke said. “Since Secretary Geng knows some work cannot be delayed, then you should go back and finish your work first. Send me this month’s report this afternoon.”

Geng Xinke did not say anything. After all, winners should not be petty.

Geng Xinke knew Dong Xuebing would be sent to the Party School yesterday afternoon. His sister’s secretary had told him after Mayor Geng had a meeting with Secretary Wang and Xue Qingrong. He was overjoyed when he heard about it. Dong Xuebing had suppressed him, and the situation had changed in his favor. The District Party Secretary is targeting Dong Xuebing, and he is practically dead now.

Geng Xinke will be the biggest beneficiary from this incident.

If Dong Xuebing is transferred away, Geng Xinke will be the Subdistrict Office’s No. 1. Even if Dong Xuebing returns from the Party School, he would have gotten the credit for the National Respect and Care for the elderly’s model unit award. Who doesn’t like to get free credits? He had opposed Dong Xuebing’s plan of snatching the nomination spot from Ping An Subdistrict and had not done anything to help. Dong Xuebing did everything, but the credit ended up in his hands in the end. This was the first time he had gotten credit without doing any work. Who asked Dong Xuebing to offend so many people? Even the District Party Secretary is targeting him.

So what if you are capable and achieve outstanding results? You will not get the credit if no higher-ups speak up for you.

This is how the system works.

Geng Xinke knows Dong Xuebing’s time is up with so many enemies surrounding him.
