Chapter 1665

Morning.

A little past nine.

Formal work hours have begun.

Dong Xuebing washed the tea set, brewed a few cups, and busied himself in his office for a while. Director Yin wasn't around, so the work here could only be managed by him. Dong Xuebing made a few phone calls to the Provincial Discipline Inspection Departments in Jiangnan Province and the provinces responsible for the Second Division, instructing them to track and learn from the open day at the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. He also instructed them to convey relevant directives in the internal party newspaper. It was just about discussing some details; the general direction had already been decided, and personnel from various departments would attend meetings at the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection this Saturday.

Five minutes... ten minutes passed, and there was a knock on the door.

Dong Xuebing looked up. "Please come in."

"Director Dong," Zhang Dongliang entered. "The people have arrived."

"Where have they reached our side?" Dong Xuebing asked.

Zhang Dongliang replied, "Not yet. They've just arrived at the press conference hall and are inspecting. They'll probably come to our side around eleven o'clock."

Dong Xuebing nodded. "Okay, let everyone be alert."

"Got it." Zhang Dongliang excused himself and left.

After a while, Dong Xuebing received a call from Yin Cheng'an about this matter. Yin Cheng'an repeatedly reminded Dong Xuebing not to let any problems occur. Dong Xuebing naturally understood. He wasn't new to working in government offices. He had more experience dealing with leadership inspections and media personnel than others. After all, Dong Xuebing didn't climb up through internal promotions within the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection or other ministries. He had worked in many grassroots counties and cities, where work was much more complicated than here. Dong Xuebing was probably the only one with so much grassroots experience in the Second office. People like Han Fei and He Zhou probably hadn't worked at the grassroots level. Inspections there were real inspections. Even if there were problems during inspections at the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, there probably wouldn't be any media coverage. The tasks and missions here only required reporting good news without mentioning any problems, which were political tasks. The Central Commission for Discipline Inspection represented the country's image, so their pressure wouldn't be as complex as at the grassroots level even with such an important inspection.

It was almost noon.

The inspection team arrived a bit late, almost at lunchtime.

They couldn't wait for them, so they still had to eat. The cafeteria was already open. So when it hit noon, Dong Xuebing walked out of his office. "Let's go, it's time for lunch."

They all put down what they were doing, took their meal cards, and went downstairs with Dong Xuebing.

The inspection team members didn't know which office building they went to. Anyway, they didn't see anyone outside, just journalists scattered around, and some foreigners with cameras busy taking photos everywhere. Some blonde female journalists also caught Dong Xuebing's attention, and he couldn't help but take a second look. This exotic atmosphere had its charm for him.

"There are a lot of people here," He Zhou said.

Neither of them acknowledged each other.

After serving their food, Dong Xuebing carried his tray to find a place. Today, there were many people, including many outsiders, and the cafeteria was crowded, with people rubbing shoulders with each other.

Suddenly, Han Fei found a seat and called, "Director Dong, He Zhou, Zhao Bang, come over here quickly." After speaking, she sat down and occupied the space.

Dong Xuebing looked over and walked towards them.

But at this moment, Fang Wenping also walked up from the opposite direction, seeming to want to go in the opposite direction. Many people were around, so they had to walk with their bodies turned sideways. As a result, Fang Wenping and Dong Xuebing ended up facing each other again. Enemies meeting was particularly awkward. However, neither of them gave way to let the other pass. The result was that they ended up shoulder-to-shoulder, and in their collision, both their trays flew out of their hands and fell to the ground.

Clang!

Clatter!

The trays they were holding fell to the ground.

People around them turned their heads one after another, making way for the spilled food, avoiding the two of them.

Originally, no one paid much attention. Such collisions were inevitable, especially with so many people here today for the open day. But they didn't know that Dong Xuebing and Fang Wenping had just fought a couple of days ago. The Fang family and the Xie family were arch-enemies among arch-enemies.

At that moment, Fang Wenping got angry. "Are you blind?" she cursed.

Dong Xuebing wasn't one to hold back, either. Hearing her, he narrowed his eyes. "Are you blind? Are you deliberately walking like that?"

They started arguing again.

Obscenities and dirty words flew everywhere.

The people from the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection around them were all dumbfounded. They looked at Dong Xuebing and Fang Wenping in shock and bewilderment.

What's going on?

This can't be happening!
