Chapter 480 – Xiang Daofa’s heavy losses!
It should not be. Secretary Xiang’s political awareness should not be so poor. It must be his son’s decision.
But this had happened, and who knows if Mayor Xie will blow it up and complain to the City Government.
One hour...
Two hours...
Evening. County Party Committee Family Quarters.
Dong Xuebing drove back to the quarters after accompanying the investors the whole day. But he did not return home and went to Sister Xie’s apartment instead. He pressed the doorbell. Ding dong... ding dong...
The door opened. “Haha, you are here.”
Dong Xuebing nodded. “Yes.”
Xie Huilan smiles and lets him entered.
After Dong Xuebing entered the apartment, he noticed the Executive Deputy Mayor, Geng Yuchao, and County Government Office Director, Yao Yi, are in the living room. He heard Director Yao had joined Xie Huilan’s faction recently.
Dong Xuebing quickly greeted them. “Mayor Geng, Director Yao.”
Geng Yuchao and Yao Yi quickly stood up to greet Dong Xuebing.
Dong Xuebing knows they are here to discuss something and saw the teapot is empty. “You all can continue. I will prepare some fruits. Oh, what tea do you all prefer?”
Geng Yuchao quickly replied. “No... we are fine.”
“That’s right, Chief Dong.” Yao Yi added. “You don’t need to do this.”
Xie Huilan smiles. “It’s my fault. I had forgotten about this. Xiao Bing, brew two cups of Tieguanyin.”
Dong Xuebing nodded. “What about you? What do you want?”
“I will drink whatever you prepared. Haha...” Xie Huilan took Dong Xuebing’s leather bag and placed it on the sofa.
Dong Xuebing is still not used to Sister Xie speaking to him in this manner in front of other people. He cleared his throat and poured three cups of tea for them.
“Thank you.” Geng Yuchao and Yao Yi stood up to receive the teacups before returning to the sofa.
Geng Yuchao and Yao Yi should not be treating Dong Xuebing this way in the past. Their ranks are higher than Dong Xuebing, and they are his superiors. But this is not at their workplaces or in public. They are in Mayor Xie’s apartment, and Dong Xuebing is her fiancé. That’s why they must treat him with respect.
But Dong Xuebing is not used to this. He is only a Section Chief and the Head of a small department. Even Yao Yi, the Government Office Director, has more authority than him. He felt uncomfortable to see them treating him respectfully and went into the kitchen to prepare dinner.
Dong Xuebing listened to Sister Xie, Geng Yuchao, and Yao Yi’s discussion about this afternoon’s incident.
“Mayor Xie, did Secretary Xiang say anything about...”
“Secretary Xiang had called me to explain that he has no idea about this incident.”
“But this is still....”
“I thought about this and felt our priority should be stability. Fighting against each other will not benefit us, and the civilians might complain to the higher-ups.”
Twenty minutes later, Geng Yuchao and Yao Yi left.
Dong Xuebing and Xie Huilan walked them to the door, and after the door is closed, Dong Xuebing asked. “You are not going to pursue this?”
Xie Huilan nodded with a smile. “You have overheard us? Haha... what’s the point of going against each other. In politics, we must have a balance. This incident is another blow to Secretary Xiang’s reputation. Still, we cannot blow it up, and it can only be limited to our County. The City Government Leaders will not want to hear about this afternoon’s Corolla incident. It will also look bad on me. That’s why we should stop at this level. Yan Tai County has been in lots of controversies lately, and we cannot afford any more troubles.”
Dong Xuebing smacked his lips. “This is letting him off lightly.”
“Not really.” Xie Huilan sips on her tea. “Secretary Xiang had given in on several matters.”
Dong Xuebing finally understood why Xie Huilan is willing not to blow this incident up. They are political rivals because they want to implement the policies according to their ideologies smoothly. Both parties will not benefit if the City Government learns about these incidents. Moreover, Sister Xie had just become the mayor. She will not succeed Xiang Daofa even if he is transferred away. That’s why she is willing to let it go after getting some benefits from him.
“In conclusion, my job has become easier after these few rounds of fighting.” Xie Huilan held Dong Xuebing’s hand and played with his fingers. “You had contributed a lot to this. Haha...”
Dong Xuebing shamelessly asked. “Am I getting any reward?”
Xie Huilan giggled. “What rewards do you want?”
Dong Xuebing wanted to tell her to he wants to touch her, but it’s too obscene. He must not let Huilan thinks he is too desperate. “Since Xiang Daofa had given in, and your County Government gained from it, what about our Investment Promotion Agency? He had caused lots of trouble for us. Shouldn’t he compensate us?”
“I will not forget about you all.”
“Huh?”
“Do you still remember about the investor Xiang Daofa invited?”
“The one who is going to invest 40 million? Of course. I had spoken to him this afternoon. How can I forget about him?” Dong Xuebing will pay special attention to the investors who are about to sign contracts.
Xie Huilan smiles. “Secretary Xiang seems to be very close to this investor. I am not sure about their relationship, but he told me that he would speak to the investor again to double his investment. This is one of the conditions he offered to cover up the troubles his son caused.”
Doubled of 40 million?!
80 million RMB?!
Dong Xuebing is overjoyed. This old bastard is paying a heavy price this time.
Dong Xuebing knows it’s not an easy task to get an 80 million investment. If not, Xiang Daofa would have gotten it instead of 40 million when Jia Yan took over the investment fair. He must have paid a heavy price to get that investor to invest so much.
80 million...
Eh?!
Dong Xuebing suddenly brightens up. Maybe he can achieve the 500 million RMB target from this investment fair!
