Chapter 1013: Conflict arises again

A few days later.

Morning, 9 am.

It should be the beginning of Spring, but this year’s winter started late, and it was still cold and dry. Spring should arrive in another few days.

Fen Zhou City.

Monday. Everyone arrived at work.

The Inspection ended, and Dong Xuebing returned to the City Commission for Discipline Inspection with his team. He was tired after traveling around for so many days. As the Investigation Team leader, he had lots of work to do. The past week was exhausting, and he felt relaxed after returning to the City Government.

Commission for Discipline Inspection.

Meeting room.

All the Investigation team members had returned for this meeting.

Discipline Inspection Secretary He Shuien chaired this meeting. “Thank you for the hard work. All teams, please report the issues you discover during this inspection.

Inspection Bureau Chief Xiao Bin reported first.

Dong Xuebing’s third Investigation Team was the last to report.

Dong Xuebing read the report he prepared, and the results were similar to the other two teams. When it was time to identify the problematic leaders, the first person he announced was Liu Guowei’s son, Liu Haibin. “There is a serious problem with Ma Yang County’s Tourism Bureau Deputy Chief Liu Haibin’s lifestyle. I had put up a detailed report about him. Our team also discovered other issues with him. He is not serious at work, and we have verified his lifestyle issues. I suggest suspending his duties temporarily or removing him from his position immediately.” Although Liu Guowei had dismissed the investigation on him, he would not let Liu Haibin off. Liu Haibin was the cause of everything; he would not let him off lightly.

Everyone in the meeting becomes quiet.

As Dong Xuebing’s deputy, Luo Haiting, took out the investigation report she had prepared and gave it to the Discipline Inspection Committee Members.

He Shuien read the report and frowned. “Let’s discuss this.”

Zhan Guiping glanced at Dong Xuebing and said. “I have read Director Dong’s report, and we have sufficient evidence. We should remove him from his position. We cannot let him do whatever he was doing in the Government agency.”

Xiao Bin frowned. “Shouldn’t we investigate further?”

Zhan Guiping shook his head. “All the evidence is there.”

“Dismissing him from his position as punishment is quite serious. Don’t you all think so?” Xiao Bin insisted.

“A warning is insufficient. Liu Haibin knew about the inspection and was still caught red-handed. Who knows what he had been doing all this while?”

City Discipline Inspection Chief Secretary Wang Youfu added. “This Liu Haibin is too much.”

Everyone discussed for a while, and they looked toward Secretary He.

He Shuien tapped on the table and said. “Let’s remove him from his position for investigation.”

Xiao Bin did not say anything. There was nothing he could do to help Liu Haibin. After all, he had made a mess at his workplace. Xiao Bin knew City Party Committee Member Liu Guowei had given in by dismissing the investigation on Dong Xuebing a few days ago. He should have lost against Dong Xuebing and Xie Huilan. It was not a big deal to punish Liu Haibin. He was only a Deputy Section Chief leader, and the Discipline Inspection did not even need to inform the City Party Committee about his punishment. Dong Xuebing does not need to bring it up in the meeting as he can dismiss him.

Liu Haibin’s punishment was finalized.

This was not a surprise to everyone.

If Dong Xuebing was determined to punish Liu Haibin, Fen Zhou City could not stop him. After all, he had gathered sufficient evidence and his wife held the same rank as He Shuien. Liu Guowei might be ranked higher than Xie Huilan, but the latter was more influential than him.

Meeting ended.

Dong Xuebing returned to his office.

News of Liu Haibin’s dismissal spread quickly in the City Party Committee building. However, many people had heard about it and were shocked by Dong Xuebing’s fearless attitude.

Ring… ring… ring…. Dong Xuebing’s phone rang.

Dong Xuebing answered. “Hello, Huilan.”

“Why did you dismiss him? Why can’t you listen to me?”

“I understand your intentions. You don’t want me to offend Liu Guowei. But I am a Discipline Inspection member. I must be responsible for the civilians. How can I let Liu Haibin off because of Commander Xiong? It was his fault for not teaching his son.”

“Haha…. I did not ask you not to investigate Liu Haibin. I only want you to watch your method. There are many ways to investigate someone.”

“What other methods?”

“Give him some light punishment first and dismiss him later.”

“Do you think I can wait so long? I don’t want to wait. You should know me well.”

“Fine. You are righteous, and I am in the wrong.”

“Err…. I don’t mean that. I know you want to please everyone, which is what we should do in the government sector. But you should know the way I work.”

“Never mind. Just dismiss him. That guy is not suitable to work in the government. He will get into trouble sooner or later.”

“Yes. You are right.”

“We have not met for more than a week. Prepare something nice for dinner night. Haha….”

“Don’t worry. I will buy groceries after work. I will cook your favorite food.”

“Oh, I am looking forward to it. I had been eating outside food for the past week.”

“Didn’t I ask you to call my Mum over?”

“Mum is looking after a baby. How can I disturb her?”

“Fine. I will let you eat to your fill tonight.”

“I can’t wait. Haha….”

Dong Xuebing’s mood got better after speaking to Huilan. He started thinking about what food to cook tonight.

Dong Xuebing’s experience told him that his good mood would not last long. All sorts of troubles and problems will arise when he is in a good mood. It was the same today. Something happened before he could even take his lunch.

Luo Haiting was the first to call. “Director! This is serious!”

“What happened?” Dong Xuebing was drinking his tea and sighed when he heard this. Something happened again.

Luo Haiting continued. “Do you remember Nan Qi Morning Newspaper?”

“Yes. What did they do this time?”

“They had reported about you. I will bring the papers to you now.”

“My news?! Alright. I will wait for you.”

Luo Haiting knocked and entered. She passed Nan Qi Morning Papers to Dong Xuebing. “Take a look at this. This is too much! What are they trying to do?!” Nan Qi Morning’s Deputy Chief Editor, Pang Dabing, and his reporter had clashed with Dong Xuebing in Nan Shan District before, and Luo Haiting knew they were suspended. She did not expect this newspaper agency to pick on Dong Xuebing again.

Dong Xuebing looked at the article and looked terrible.

Luo Haiting suppressed her anger. “I heard Ma Yang County’s Liu Haibin is close with Nan Qi Morning News Agency’s higher-ups. Could this be something to do with Commander Liu and him?”

“This should have nothing to do with Commander Liu.”

“Then it must be Liu Haibin. He is dismissed and is taking revenge.”

“This should be the case. Go back to work, Sister Luo. I will make a few calls to settle this.”

Luo Haiting left, and Dong Xuebing looked at the newspaper again. He was furious. This newspaper had tried to tarnish his reputation again.

The first sentence of the article exposed Dong Xuebing’s assets. The City leaders and City Discipline Inspection investigated his asset and found no problems. He had gotten his money through legitimate means, but it was not revealed to the public. However, Nan Qi Morning Papers exposed it and reported what he had done in the past. For example, he had smashed a Mercedes blocking his cousin’s wedding convey, crashed his car into another car in front of the City Discipline Inspection Building, blocked the Lu An City Party Committee family quarters’ entrance, etc. Everything he had done was reported, and the report implied he was a corrupt official.
