Chapter 1579: Warning from the Party Secretary’s husband

City Party Committee.

In the corridor.

Just as he was leaving the City Party Committee Secretary's office, Dong Xuebing's phone in his pocket rang. Looking at the number, it seemed to be a call from Jiangnan Province.

"Who is it?"

"It's from our province."

"It's probably from the province. I'll answer."

"Yeah, you go ahead. I'll be downstairs in a moment."

"Okay, I'll wait for you at the cafeteria entrance. Hurry up."

Xie Huilan met a colleague, chatting with him happily before taking the elevator down together.

Dong Xuebing answered the phone.

"Hello, who is this?"

"Is this Director Dong?"

"Yes, who is this?"

"Hello, I'm from the Discipline Inspection Office of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection."

"Oh, what can I do for you?"

"I just heard that the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection leaders are coming to our province for supervision and inspection. I wanted to ask if we need to cooperate with you on anything. Do we need to send someone down to assist you?"

"No need, I can handle it myself. We'll discuss the rest later. If I need anything, I'll contact the comrades from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection."

"Okay, then."

"Well, that's it for now."

"Okay, sorry for bothering you. You're busy."

Dong Xuebing hung up the phone and went to take the elevator.

"Mr. Dong, you have a good drinking capacity."

Everyone quickly raised their glasses with tea or other beverages instead of alcohol.

Since she took office, many of the subordinates who had leaned toward Xie Huilan didn't think much of it. Still, those who belonged to Mayor Xia's faction or other neutral subordinates felt a bit uncomfortable. There was no other reason but that the husband of the City Committee Secretary was too dominant, both in personality and in his workplace. It felt like he thanked everyone for supporting Secretary Xie by having a Central Commission for Discipline Inspection leader toast to them. It seemed like he was implying something to them.

Mayor Xia remained composed and even chatted with Dong Xuebing with a smile.

However, a few City committee members in Mayor Xia's camp felt slightly bitter when they sipped their tea, and their mood wasn't very high. Some of them even started to think.

Following suit, neutral subordinates or leaders who were previously aligned with the former secretary began to communicate actively with Xie Huilan and Dong Xuebing. Evidently, their attitudes had changed, and they were more polite to Secretary Xie. This incident, where Dong Xuebing intimidated the provincial authorities, was not just about intimidating the province but also about intimidating Xiaxing City. He dared to criticize even the officials from the provincial inspection team.

The situation in Xiaxing City had subtly changed.

Dong Xuebing and his position brought about all of this.

Seeing this situation, Dong Xuebing was also quite satisfied. He came here to support his wife, and if he could help her stand firm and develop smoothly, that would be his most outstanding achievement. Now, it seemed that the effect had been achieved. He didn't say much more. Sometimes, saying a few words was enough, and saying too much would have the opposite effect. Huilan will handle the remaining matters herself.

"Come, let's eat."

"Mr. Dong, I'll toast to you."

"I can't handle alcohol well. Let's all use tea instead."

"Alright, feel free. Here's to you."

The meal was lively, and Dong Xuebing remained the center of attention. Firstly, because of his rank and status, and secondly, his performance today was too eye-catching.

After the meal.

An afternoon passed.

Some of the subordinates who weren't at the City Committee and most of the government officials gradually heard about what happened in the City Committee courtyard that morning. When they heard that the provincial inspection team had criticized Secretary Xie, and then Secretary Xie's husband had promptly revealed his position in the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and criticized the provincial leaders, the officials in Xiaxing City were all amazed. It had been many years since such a dramatic scene had occurred in the city. Many officials wished they had been there to witness it. After all, seeing the provincial leaders being scolded and leaving in embarrassment was quite impressive.

Moreover, many officials also sensed something unsettling:

The new City Committee Secretary's husband is a Central Commission for Discipline Inspection leader.

And he is in charge of Jiangnan Province, which oversees their province.

This matter couldn't be kept secret. In the blink of an eye, it spread like wildfire.
