Chapter 1548: Another Leader came

Central Commission for Discipline Inspection

Eighth Supervisory Office

Division Chief Level Inspector

Everyone listened in stunned silence, seemingly beyond everyone's comprehension. Many people remained silent, staring at Dong Xuebing.

Vice Principal Wang was dumbfounded.

Dong Quan was also stunned.

Le Hai Dong and Sun Ruhua were also at a loss for words.

Dong Xuebing looked at Dong Quan and said, "It's not convenient to talk here. Come with me for a while." Then, he turned to Vice Principal Wang and said, "Help me find a classroom; the closer, the better. I hope it's just the two of us and others should avoid it. Please cooperate."

Vice Principal Wang took a deep breath. "You"

Dong Quan finally took a look at the work ID held up in front of him by Dong Xuebing. He could tell at a glance that it was genuine. Moreover, who would dare to impersonate a Central Commission for Discipline Inspection member? It was even less likely that such a document would be carried around casually. When Dong Quan realized this, his face changed immediately. He knew what the Eighth Supervisory Office was all about. Their jurisdiction included provinces, and Jiangdong Province was among them. Not to mention, their city of Wuyang, even their province, fell under the supervision of the Eighth Supervisory Office. Dong Quan had never expected to encounter such trouble today, and he had never imagined that the unremarkable young man in front of him was at a similar level as himself, a Division Chief level cadre.

How old are you?

How did you reach this level?

Jiang Min looked puzzled. "Xuebing, how"

Sun Ruhua also widened her eyes in disbelief. "You're a Division Chief level inspector?"

Many other students and teachers watching the scene began to discuss animatedly, and the atmosphere became chaotic.

"Is there a problem?" Dong Xuebing stared at Vice Principal Wang. "Everyone's time is not abundant. Hurry up and prepare the classroom."

Vice Principal Wang quickly looked at Dong Quan.

Dong Quan felt a chill in his heart, but he could do nothing. If a cadre from the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection wanted to talk to him, how could he refuse or leave? Even if he were of his level, even if the Secretary of the City Party Committee came, he wouldn't be able to refuse because he couldn't refuse. That was the superior supervisory department. So, Dong Quan had no choice but to take Dong Xuebing's words seriously.

Vice Principal Wang looked and understood everything. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and quickly instructed a nearby teacher to prepare the classroom.

The situation became tense.

But at that moment, another car slowly drove in.

A sharp-eyed teacher spotted the person in the car at a glance. "Mayor He is here."

Seeing Deputy Mayor He remaining silent for a long time, Dong Quan called out, "Old leader."

He Zhengfei glanced at him and whispered in a voice only they could hear, "You, why pick a fight with him? Forget it. Let me give it a try. I can only say I'll try."

Dong Quan was puzzled, not understanding the meaning behind He Zhengfei's words.

You're a Deputy Mayor of a directly-administered City. Isn't it just a matter of saying a word?

Under the gaze of everyone, He Zhengfei slowly walked up with a smile and said, "Hello, Division Chief Dong."

Dong Xuebing looked at him and shook his hand when he reached out. "You must be Deputy Mayor He," he said. He does not recognize him but has seen him on TV.

He Zhengfei said calmly, "I've heard about the situation. It's not a big deal. Later, I'll have Dong Quan send the money to your teacher. Let's call it even. Today is the 30th anniversary of United University. It's a great day. With so many people gathered here, it's inconvenient, don't you think?"

Dong Xuebing looked at him and said, "Deputy Mayor He, it's not that I don't give you face. I've just said, in my opinion, this is not a trivial matter. Teacher Jiang is my mentor. As you should know, there's a saying: A day as a teacher, a lifetime as a father.' Teacher Jiang is like a father to me, a family member. If someone in your family were hit by someone else and the other party didn't even apologize, how would you feel? This can't be considered a small matter."

He Zhengfei said, "That's true, but"

Dong Xuebing interrupted him, "Moreover, I have something work-related to discuss with Comrade Dong Quan. I received a task from the General Office of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. I can't discuss the details with you. We have confidentiality principles to adhere to. Since it's official business, please don't interfere."

He Zhengfei didn't get angry either. He just shook his head helplessly. "Okay, if it's official business, then I won't say anything." He then turned to Dong Quan. "You cooperate."

Dong Quan hesitated for a moment. "Old leader"

He Zhengfei waved his hand, saying nothing, and walked directly into the campus.

"Deputy Mayor He left."

"Huh, why didn't he intervene?"

"Yeah, isn't he acquainted with Dong Quan?"

As they watched He Zhengfei leave, many students and teachers were stunned.

Le Haidong was also surprised. He works in Beijing Education Bureau and naturally knew He Zhengfei and his position. He also knew what kind of person he was and his temper. How could a Deputy Minister-level leader advise someone to cooperate and then leave when it wasn't a difficult task? He hadn't expected Dong Xuebing to disregard He Zhengfei's authority altogether, and He Zhengfei didn't say much after a couple of sentences and walked away.

He Zhengfei didn't want to meddle.

Why didn't He Zhengfei intervene? Wasn't Dong Quan his former subordinate?

Confusion and puzzlement were written all over their faces. They couldn't understand what was going on.

Perhaps only Dong Xuebing and He Zhengfei knew what was going on. It was Dong Xuebing's first time meeting He Zhengfei, but as a city leader in Beijing, he wouldn't be unfamiliar with the son-in-law of the city's top leader. He probably knew Dong Xuebing's tricky temperament and tried to mediate with a few words, but seeing that Dong Xuebing didn't listen, He Zhengfei knew it was futile. His rank couldn't suppress Dong Xuebing, so he left first.
