Chapter 385 – Scolding!

Noon.

Investment Promotion Agency.

Li Shengbing, Wang Na, and Wang Ting looked at Dong Xuebing angrily. “Who are you scolding?”

“I am scolding you all!” Dong Xuebing continued. “Xin Hua News Agency?! Do you all even understand what we are saying?!” Cao Xupeng and Zhao Xinglong knew Dong Xuebing’s foul temper had acted up again. They were also angry with these reporters, but they cannot offend Xin Hua News Agency. Scolding the reporters now is making things worse, and they will have more things to write. Cao Xupeng quickly shouted at Dong Xuebing. “Xiao Bing! Watch your attitude!” Zhao Xinglong also gestured to Dong Xuebing to ask him to keep quiet.

Dong Xuebing ignored them. “Secretary Cao, Mayor Zhao, I had tolerated them the whole morning! Who the hell do they think they are?! Did they really think they are someone great?!” Cao Xupeng gave Dong Xuebing a stare. “Stop it!” Li Shengbing was pale with anger. “Are you even a civil servant?! Is this the way you work?!”

“You are nobody to care about how I work!” Dong Xuebing stared at Li Shengbing in his eyes and pointed at him. “I had never seen anyone as shameless as you all! What place is Xin Hua News Agency? What is a newspaper agency? Do you all even know about your duties as a reporter?! You all f**king dare to criticize our work?! The first rule of a journalist is to uphold the truth through unbiased reporting! But what did you all do? You all had been nitpicking over everything since you all arrived here! You all cannot see our results, refused to find out the County’s current situation, and ignored what the investors and people said! You all just keep finding faults with us! Who gave you all the authority to do this?! Ah?!”

Li Shengbing sneered. “Recording all the flaws is not unbiased reporting?! Who said that?! We don’t need you to teach us how we work!” Luo Haiting is afraid things will be blown out of proportion and quickly rushed over with Sun Shuli to pull Dong Xuebing back. “Chief!”

Dong Xuebing could no longer hold back and points at Li Shengbing. “You! Why the hell are you here?! The Provincial Xin Hua News Agency Branch had told us about the interview! Who the hell are you?! Are you from the Provincial Xin Hua Agency Branch?! Are you authorize to say anything here?! We are hosting the reporters from Xin Hua Branch, and why are you tagging along?! I had tried my best to ignore you, but you just can’t stop creating trouble for us!”

Cao Xupeng knew he could not hold Dong Xuebing back. He quickly called Xiang Daofa to tell him about the situation.

More and more people gathered as Dong Xuebing started scolding the reporters.

More than a dozen staff from the Investment Promotion Agency are looking out of the windows, and some even walked out. They had heard about Xin Hua Agency reporters purposely finding trouble with them and were excited to see their Chief scolding them. This is also their first time seeing Chief Dong’s legendary working style, and they even wanted to join in. But none of them dare to scold those reporters in public. Chief Dong is the only person in the whole Yan Tai County who dares to scold them.

Wang Na and Wang Ting were also angry. “You are full of vulgarities! What sort of leader are you?!” Li Shengbing added. “You are a black sheep and must be removed from your position! I will report you to the higher-ups when I get back!”

Dong Xuebing laughed. “Oh, when did you become a Commission for Discipline Inspection officer? Your identity can switch so fast!” Xiang Daofa had answered Cao Xupeng’s call, and he overheard Dong Xuebing scolding the reporters.

Xiang Daofa slapped his forehead and is speechless. “What is Xiao Dong doing?! Old Cao! Drag Xiao Dong away! You will host those reporters yourself, and don’t let Xiao Dong get close to them! He is just a trouble maker! Hurry! We might still salvage the situation!” Xiang Daofa will also stand to gain if the County can attract more investments. That’s why his attitude towards Dong Xuebing changed slightly after the Investment Promotion Agency brought in 20 million RMB worth of investments. He had closed one eye during the ball and when Dong Xuebing created chaos in the Finance Department. But Xiao Dong is scolding the reporters now, and this is not a small matter.

After hanging up, Cao Xupeng walks over quickly. “Xiao Dong, enough!” Dong Xuebing had vented his anger and stopped scolding.

Cao Xupeng looks at Li Shengbing and the rest. “Let’s go in to have lunch first. Chief Dong is a bit rash as he is worried about the County’s economic development. I will reprimand him later.”

Li Shengbing coldly replied. “Just reprimand him?” Wang Na looks at Wang Shaoyan, who was still sitting on the floor. “I think what this guy said about corruption is true.”

“Then, we should investigate it.” Li Shengbing took out his camera and continued to take pictures. This time, he even took pictures of Cao Xupeng and Zhao Xinglong. After that, he kneeled beside Wang Shaoyan and asked. “Tell me about the 50,000 RMB. Why did you say they refuse to give it to you?” Cao Xupeng’s brows twitched as he was about to explode from his anger.

Sun Shuli shouted furiously. “The Investment Promotion Agency has never promised him 50,000 RMB! There are no contracts or documents on this transaction! We will not give him money like this! What do you all mean by this? Are you all saying that we must give out money when people come and create trouble?! If we refuse to give them, we are corrupted? The money belongs to the government and the people! We cannot give out money just because someone claims we owe them! Have you all find out about the whole situation first?! Ah?!”

Li Shengbing turned and looked at Sun Shuli. “I only saw you all beating up a commoner!” Luo Haiting replied. “We had never hit him! He had come to create trouble at our Agency more than once! What’s wrong with us chasing him away?! He had feigned his injuries! I don’t believe everyone here did not see it!”

Li Shengbing ignored them and continue to ask Wang Shaoyan questions.

Wang Shaoyan poured his ‘sorrows’ to Wang Shaoyan.

Dong Xuebing looked at Li Shengbing coldly. “Are you done?! Li Shengbing! What are you all up to? You all claim to be upholding justice for the commoners, but you are just listening to his side of the story and ignoring our staff. Is this how you uphold justice?! Stop pretending. You want to find trouble with us?! Fine!” Dong Xuebing looked at the reporters. “You all! Show me your reporter passes!” Li Shengbing stared at Dong Xuebing. “You want my pass?!” Wang Na looked at Dong Xuebing furiously. “Can’t you see I am wearing it?”

“I can’t see it!” Dong Xuebing looks at them. “Xin Hua News Agency is a national news agency, and they have the best reporters in the country. But I can only see you all being unreasonable. I suspect you all are not from Xin Hua News Agency reporters! Alright! Give me your passes now. If you all don’t have journalist passes, the Public Security will be glad to bring you all back for impersonation!” Li Shengbing took out his pass from his pocket and threw it at Dong Xuebing with a smirk.

Wang Na and Wang Ting also gave their passes to Dong Xuebing.

Dong Xuebing looked at the three passes in his hands and nodded. He turned and walked to a corner to make a call.

No one knows what Dong Xuebing is up to.

Dong Xuebing made a call, and someone answered after a few rings.

Xie Hao shouted excitedly. “Haha, Brother-in-law! My idol! Why are you calling me today? Are you in Beijing now?! Where are you? I will go and look for you now!” Dong Xuebing lowered his voice. “I need your help. What position is your Second Sister holding in Xin Hua News Agency?” “Second Sister? She is from the HR department. I remember she is a Section Chief with Deputy Divisional Chief’s benefits. Why are you asking?” Deputy Divisional Chief’s benefits from the HR department?! She has high authority.

“A few Xin Hua News Agency reporters had come to our Investment Promotion Agency to create trouble…”

“Hmph! How dare they do this? Xin Hua News Agency? My Second Sister’s family is very close to Xin Hua News Agency’s Chief Editor. Do you want me to help you get the Chief Editor’s number?” The Chief Editor of Xin Hua News Agency is a Ministerial level official.

Dong Xuebing replied. “He also doesn’t know me. Can you give me your Second Sister’s mobile number?”

“Sure. You take it down…” Xie Hao told Dong Xuebing the number.

After hanging up, Dong Xuebing immediately dial Xie Jing’s number.

The line got through. “… Hello? Who is it?” Dong Xuebing cleared his throat. “Xiao Jing. I’m Dong Xuebing. Is it convenient to speak now?”

Xie Jing paused for a second and laughed. “Brother-in-law. It’s convenient now. What is it?”

Xie Jing is a few years older than Dong Xuebing, and it felt awkward to hear her calling brother-in-law. Dong Xuebing said. “Someone from Xin Hua News Agency news-editorial section had come to our Agency to create trouble. He did not find out the truth and jumped to conclusions. He even tried to interfere with our work and even claim he will get me fired by complaining against me to the higher-ups. Hmph! I don’t understand how he can become a reporter!” Xie Jing frowned. “What’s his name?” “… Li Shengbing.” Dong Xuebing also told Xie Jing Li Shengbing’s work pass number.

“Wait a minute. I will make a call first.” The line on the other end went silent. Xie Jing had muted the call, and she came back after a while. “… there is someone named Li Shengbing in our domestic news section. Brother-in-law, can you pass the phone to him? I will reprimand him.”
