Chapter 1178: Unforgiving

Single ward.

The situation is tense.

Dong Xuebing knows the situation. He knows Xie Jing had contacted the Xin Hua News Agency here, and that’s why the City leaders came so fast. The City is pressured to settle this issue as soon as possible, but it is not urgent.

The ward was quiet for a while.

Zhao Xu said. “Then make it 300,000 RMB.”

Dong Xuebing replied unhappily. “Are you belittling me?”

Zhao Xu looked at him. “Then how much compensation is enough to settle this problem?”

He said when everyone thought Dong Xuebing would ask for a large amount, like 500,000 or 600,000 RMB. “Mayor Zhao, I am not an unreasonable person. I had never mentioned anything about compensation. I came to the City to get back our funds. I am here for work and our County’s people. I accept my injuries and will not take a cent more than I should. However, the fund is given to Zhen Shui County by the Central Government. Everyone in Zhen Shui County is waiting for this fund. I can break my arm and leg. But how will I face our people if I do not bring back the fund?”

Meng Rui nodded. Well said.

Yan Yizhi, Chen Xiaomei, and the rest looked at them. They are finally entering the main topic.

Jiang Fangfang added. “Mayor Zhao, our County needs this fund. We must pay our staff, increase people’s living standards, develop our economy, and make up our financial deficits. We know the City might have other plans for our County, but the money....”

Dong Xuebing was direct and aggressive.

Jiang Fangfang was different, and she did not make the City look bad. Maybe she does not want to fall out with the City.

Zhao Xu listened and nodded. “We understand your County’s plight, and we intend to release the fund bit by bit to you all. Hmm,... it seems like you all needed the fund badly.” He had received a call from the City Party Committee and knew Zhen Shui County would want their funds back. He was prepared for this.

Jiang Fangfang looked at Meng Rui.

Meng Rui thought for a while and organized the words in his mind. They want the return of all the remaining funds.

Dong Xuebing cleared his throat softly and felt since he had offended the City, it did not matter if he offended one more leader. He said. “Mayor Zhao, our County had a shortfall of 46 million RMB.”

“46 million RMB?” Zhao Xu was stunned.

The few leaders who came with Zhao Xu and Wei Lin were shocked.

The City had held back 45 million RMB. How did you come up with 46 million RMB?

One million RMB more?

Where did this one million RMB come from?

Everyone in the ward is smart and quickly understands Dong Xuebing’s intentions. He will take back the remaining funds and get one million RMB more from the City.

F**k!

What are you thinking?

Not only Zhao Xu and Wei Lin were shocked, but even Yan Yizhi Chen Xiaomei and the rest were stunned by Dong Xuebing’s guts. This is not something one can say out loud. But Dong Xuebing had said it as if nothing had happened. Meng Rui was impressed.

Dong Xuebing did not feel awkward when he said it. He had traveled so far to the City to get back the funds, and the people here gave him a lousy attitude. He was forced to injure himself in the end. He will not get injured in vain and will get back some interest from them. His thinking is different from others, and not many can understand him.

Zhao Xu could not stand it anymore. But he remembered the City Mayor’s instructions and Xin Hua News Agency. He suppressed his anger and said. “We will release 30 million RMB and the remaining 15 million RMB a few days later....”

Dong Xuebing looked at him and turned to Yao Cui. “Xiao Yao, this hospital’s facilities are not good. Help me arrange a hospital in the Provincial City and transfer me there.”

What do you mean? You want to escalate this incident to the Provincial Government?

Zhao Xu was furious. He had tried to settle this issue peacefully as the City Deputy Mayor, but Dong Xuebing did not care.

Zhao Xu stormed out of the ward.

The other city leaders exchanged looks and followed him.

Only Zhen Shui County’s leaders remained in the ward.

Meng Rui said. “Mayor Dong, we should not push our luck. It was good enough.”

Dong Xuebing replied. “The remaining 45 million RMB are given to us by the Central Government, and we should get it back.”

“I am talking about the extra one million RMB.”

The ward’s door opened again.

A City leader entered. They did not leave the hospital. Zhao Xu had enough of Dong Xuebing and sent someone else to negotiate.

“Mayor Dong.” That man said.

Dong Xuebing interrupted him. “Don’t say anymore. I want to know whether the money can be deposited into our finance Department’s account. I will transfer to County's hospital if the money can reach us within two days. If the money cannot reach us, I will transfer out of this hospital. I will seek treatment in Beijing. I heard their hospitals are good. Ah.... My body is in pain....”

Fine....

Earlier, you want to go to the Province, and now you are going to the Central Government.

That man wants to bash his head against the wall. Are you a civil servant or a hooligan?

Ten minutes later.

Along a hospital corridor.

That leader came out and said. “They insisted on 46 million RMB and refused to give me. He says he will transfer himself to a Beijing hospital if the City does not give his County this amount. He is going to complain us.”

Zhao Xu had no choice but to inform the City Mayor.

The Mayor heard and paused for a while. “Give them the money!”

Zhao Xu hesitated and said. “We cannot set this example, Mayor.”

“Give it to him!” The Mayor shouted. “This incident had blown up, and we must press it down as soon as possible.”

Zhao Xu sighed. “All right. I know.” He hung up the phone and turned to his staff. “Go in and tell them the City will send the money to them soon.”

The City had wanted to stop Zhen Shui County’s fund to ease the City’s financial pressure. But they had to return the fund and an additional one million RMB after so much trouble.

What the hell is this?!

This Dong Xuebing is sickening!

He dares to take advantage of the City! How did Zhen Shui County get such a shameless leader?!
