Chapter 1550: Apologize

Chapter 1550: Apologize

Morning.

Inside the classroom.

After the conversation, Dong Quan slinked out of the room while Dong Xuebing stayed behind. He lit a cigarette and took a few puffs, then took out his phone, crossed his legs, and scrolled to the number of Yin Chengan, the director of their Second Department. He dialed the number, intending to give him a heads-up.

Ring ring.

The call went through.

"Hello, Director Dong."

"Director Yin, are you busy?"

"Hehe, just finished a meeting. What's up?"

"Well, I have something to report. I took leave today and encountered Dong Quan, the Deputy Mayor of Wuyang City in Jiangdong Province, where the office and petition office approved the vanity project for us. There were also some other matters, so I took the opportunity to talk with him and gave them a push. I asked them to submit a report by the end of the week. I planned to inform you and seek your approval, but things got complicated here, so I didn't have the chance."

"Hehe, no problem. It's good that you found them. I assigned tasks to everyone during the meeting just now, but I assigned you to another city in Jiangdong Province suspected of having a Vanity project. Since you've talked to Wuyang City, let's do this: I'll talk to He Zhou later and have him contact that city to free up the task I assigned. You'll be in charge of Wuyang City. Once they submit the report, you can follow up on the supervision. Lastly, give me your final opinion on how to deal with their city."

"Okay."

"But it's best to focus on giving them a push. Of course, if their attitude is unclear, don't hesitate to take disciplinary action."

"I understand, Director Yin."

"Hehe, good. Get busy now."

"Got it. I'll report back if there's any news."Finnd new chapters at novelhall.com

"No need. Handle it yourself. Just let me know the outcome."

Yin Chengan was still as easygoing as ever. He is reasonable, flexible in his work, and not as rigid as typical disciplinary officials. After this call, Dong Xuebing's impression of him improved. After working for so many years, it was the first time he had encountered such an amiable leader. Of course, their relationship might also be influenced by their ranks. Although Dong Xuebing's work and office were under the Eighth Office's Second Department, he was still a supervisory officer at the Division Chief level. His relationship was still within the Eighth Office. If the Eighth Office had any key tasks or meetings, Dong Xuebing could participate and give his opinions. Yin Chengan was also a supervisory officer at the departmental level in the Eighth Office. From this perspective, they were at the same level, except Dong Xuebing didn't hold a specific leadership position.

With the directive in hand, Dong Xuebing could now act freely. It depended on whether Dong Quan would cooperate or not. If he persisted in his ways, Dong Xuebing wouldn't hesitate to take action. However, he believed Dong Quan was an intelligent person. To reach the position of Deputy Mayor, he must know how to weigh the pros and cons.

Outside the classroom.

"They're here."

"Here they come."

"What happened in the end?"

"I don't know. Let's see."

All eyes shifted to Dong Quan as he left the classroom.

Feeling the gaze of so many people, Dong Quan's lips twitched subconsciously. However, as an official of his rank, he had cultivated some composure. His expression changed from indifference to a somewhat apologetic look. Seeing Jiang Min sitting on the stone bench behind the crowd, he quickly approached her. "Teacher Jiang, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Jiang Min tried to stand up.

But Dong Quan stepped forward and gently pressed her back down. "Your foot is injured. Don't stand up. Please sit." Then, Dong Quan sighed and continued, "It's my fault. I didn't know what was happening when I entered the school gate. Everyone was crowding around, and I accidentally bumped into you. Just now, Director Dong talked to me, and I realized that everyone was here to welcome me. I would have apologized when I exited the car if I had known. I bumped into someone. It's all my fault."

Trying to save face for himself, Dong Quan added a self-criticism.

But Jiang Min didn't want to make things difficult. "It's nothing, just a minor sprain."

"Oh, the medical expenses," Dong Quan immediately reached for his wallet.

Jiang Min pushed his hand away. "It's okay."

After some back and forth, Jiang Min refused to take the money, so Dong Quan gave up. "Then, let me apologize to you once again. I'm sorry."

Dong Quan apologized several times, showing a very humble attitude.

Jiang Min and the hundreds of students and teachers around felt relieved. After all, it was just a matter of saving face and reasoning. Now that Dong Quan has apologized, the matter is resolved.

Dong Quan looked back and saw that Dong Xuebing had not come out yet. He walked a few steps forward and whispered to Jiang Min with a bitter smile, "Teacher Jiang, if your foot is okay, I'd like to invite you to dinner tonight to express my apologies. There may have been a misunderstanding between Director Dong and me. I also want to invite Division Chief Dong to explain. But if I invite him, Division Chief Dong might"

Jiang Min thought about it and said, "Never mind about me. Its not a serious matter. But I will help you ask Xuebing.

"Thank you very much," Dong Quan breathed a sigh of relief.

This was the best solution Dong Quan could think of. The situation forced him to compromise. Otherwise, he wouldn't stand a chance if he were to confront Dong Xuebing. Dong Xuebing's position had inherent advantages. So, after thinking for a long time, Dong Quan decided to apologize. A wise man doesn't fight when the odds are against him. After all, he had foolishly walked into trouble. However, he feared Dong Xuebing wouldn't let it go. So, this time, his apology was very humble. He also wanted to invite Dong Xuebing to dinner. Whether Dong Xuebing came or not didn't matter much to him. Dong Quan mainly intended to convey his message to Jiang Min, hoping she could put in a good word for him in front of Dong Xuebing. From Dong Xuebing's attitude towards Jiang Min, he could tell that he valued his mentor a lot. If Jiang Min could intercede for him, it would be more effective than a hundred explanations from Dong Quan. Dong Quan also didn't want Dong Xuebing to come after him.
