Chapter 1177: Apology has arrived
Dong Xuebing woke up, and he reached for the bell with difficulties. He pressed it, and the music sounded.
Six to seven seconds later.
The door opened, and that nurse entered.
“Oh, you are awake.”
“Yes. What time is it?”
“6.10 am.”
“Do I have other checks and treatments later?”
“Yes. The specialists will come at 7 am, and you will undergo some checks in the morning.”
“Ok. Can you help me make a call?”
“Ok. Who are you calling? Your wife?”
“No. It’s Xie Jing. Help me look for her number in the phone book.”
“I found it. I am calling her now.”
“Ok. Help switch to speaker mode, and you can go.”
“Ok.”
The nurse called, turned on the speaker, and placed the phone by Dong Xuebing’s bedside before leaving.
“Hello, Brother-in-law.”
“Are you sleeping, Xiao Jing?”
“My Sis’s phone call woke me up.”
“Oh, Huilan called you?”
“Yes. What happened? My Sis said you are seriously injured.”
“I am fine. It’s only some fractures, and I am used to it. Oh, what else did Huilan say?”
“She told me you encountered some problems at Mei He City and wanted me to contact Xin Hua Agency’s reporters there to pressure the city leaders.”
Dong Xuebing smiled to himself. Ah, my wife is still the best. She did not say anything, but she was still concerned about me. He called Xie Jing to ask Xin Hua Agency to pressure the City Leaders. They will not report this news, but this will pressure Mei He City. Xie Huilan knew what he would do and had informed Xie Jing first.
“I will contact my friends, Brother-in-law.”
“Thank you. Just pressure them will do and don’t need to report it.”
“Ok. How are your injuries? Sis does not sound happy.”
“I am fine after a few days\' rest.”
Xie Jing laughed. “Haha…. That’s right. It’s only on the third floor. That is nothing to you.” She knows Dong Xuebing will not die from this height. He might be dead if he was pushed off from the tenth floor.
Morning.
Medical examinations, checks, treatments….
Dong Xuebing could not move and had to go along with the arrangements.
City Party Committee Building.
Zhao Xu arrived at work. Many staff members greeted him, but he ignored them. He entered his office in a bad mood.
Ring… ring… ring….
The phone rang.
Zhao Xu looked at the caller ID and answered. “Mayor.”
A man said. “What did the hospital say?”
Zhao Xu replied. “I called earlier, and Zhen Shui County Executive Deputy Mayor is out of danger, but his injuries are serious. He is still undergoing treatment.”
“Are Zhen Shui County’s Party Secretary and Mayor here?”
“Yes. I heard they arrived yesterday afternoon.”
“I received a piece of news earlier.”
“What is it?”
“Someone from the Provincial Xin Hua News Agency called to ask about the situation. They said we had stopped a County’s fund and pushed someone from the County off a building. They asked if this was true.”
Zhao Xu took a deep breath. “Xin Hua News Agency?!”
F**k! How did this catch Xin Hua News Agency’s attention?”
The Mayor continued. “This is difficult.”
“Finance Department’s Old Wei did not handle this well, but I believe it was an accident. He doesn’t have the guts to do this.”
“Both of us know, but what about the rest? The police have started an investigation. I checked, and many people saw what happened. They said Wei Lin pushed the Zhen Shui County leader, causing him to fall out of the windows. This is a serious matter and cannot be covered up. Old Zhao, do you know what I mean? We will be in trouble if Xin Hua News Agency reports it.
“So, you want to….”
“Try to communicate with Zhen Shui County and settle among ourselves.”
“Alright. I know what to do.”
“Ok. Handle this yourself and do it as fast as possible.”
Morning, 10 am.
City Third People Hospital.
Meng Rui, Jiang Fangfang, and the rest had arrived to visit Dong Xuebing. Dong Xuebing was feeling better and could speak without difficulties.
“Do you still have other checks later?”
“I think so. The Hospital arranges it, and I don’t know.”
“It’s fine. Rest well. Mayor Jiang and I will go to the City Party Committee.”
Suddenly, the door opened, and everyone turned towards the door.
Deputy City Mayor Zhao Xu entered with a few staff. Wei Lin followed behind them unwillingly.
Zhao Xu held a fruit basket and smiled at Dong Xuebing. “I am here on behalf of the City, Mayor Dong. Are you feeling better?” He said and put the fruit basket aside.
Dong Xuebing groaned and did not reply. He was chatting with Secretary Meng and Mayor Jiang earlier and was looking in pain now.
The nurse taking care of him saw and almost laughed.
Meng Rui, Yan Yizhi, and the rest cleared their throats. They did not expect Dong Xuebing to act so well.
Zhao Xu quickly asks. “Ah, are you in pain?”
Dong Xuebing replied hoarsely. “Try falling from the third floor, and you will know how painful it is.”
The staff, who came with Zhao Xu, frowned but dared not get angry.
Zhao Xu paused for a second and said. “Err… I will get a doctor here.”
“No need.” Dong Xuebing replied. “I was only pushed off the third floor. It’s fine. It is only on the third floor. I will not die.”
Dong Xuebing was being sarcastic. He was targeting Wei Lin and Zhao Xu.
Zhao Xu would have exploded if it was another time. But this situation is different now. He got to bear with it no matter how angry he was. He said. “We know you suffered grievances, Mayor Dong. This incident is an accident, and the City is very concerned. They send me here to settle the issue. You can tell me your requests.”
Dong Xuebing did reply and looked at Wei Lin, who was standing at the back.
Zhao Xu turned to Wei Lin. “Chief Wei, this accident happened at the Finance Department, and you accidentally pushed Mayor Dong. Shouldn’t you apologize?”
Wei Lin clenched his teeth and walked forward. “Sorry.”
Wei Lin hates Dong Xuebing but cannot do anything to him.
“Only an apology?” Jiang Fangfang looked at Wei Lin.
Meng Rui added. “Mayor Dong almost died. This incident cannot be settled with an apology.”
Wei Lin had met Meng Rui and Jiang Fangfang several times before. He got angrier after hearing what they said.
Zhao Xu said. “The City decided to suspend Wei Lin from his duties until the investigation is over before we came.”
Suspended?
That’s more like it.
Zhen Shui County was satisfied with this outcome.
“The hospital bills too.” Zhao Xu looked at Dong Xuebing sincerely. “The accident happened in a government department, and we will pay for all the operation and treatment costs. You don’t need to worry about anything. The compensation… I shall decide. 200,000 RMB for your emotional and physical damages. Wei Lin will pay a portion, and the department will pay the rest. What do you think, Mayor Dong?” The compensation for such cases is around 100,000 RMB. Dong Xuebing’s neck was not injured, and it will not affect him in the future.
They are giving Dong Xuebing 200,000 RMB now.
This is a considerable amount here.
It’s a big amount for others, but the Zhen Shui County people in the ward know Dong Xuebing’s Land Rover steering wheel cost more than it.
Dong Xuebing ignored Zhao Xu and said to Yao Cui. “Xiao Yao.”
“I am here.” Yao Cui walked over and looked at Dong Xuebing.
Dong Xuebing said. “My wallet and bank cards are with you, right? Go to the bank and transfer two million RMB to Chief Wei’s account.”
Everyone was stunned.
Two million RMB?
It should be Wei Lin compensating him. Why is he giving Chief Wei money?”
“You….” Yao Cui was confused.
Dong Xuebing said. “200,000 RMB, and you can push someone off a building. It’s cheap. Where else can you find such deals? Help me give him the compensation money first. I will push Chief Wei off the building when I am in a good mood. I can push him ten times.”
Everyone understood what Dong Xuebing meant.
Damn! Who will do such things?
Chen Xiaomei laughed, and Jiang Fangfang smiled.
Wei Lin almost cursed. I apologized. What else do you want?
Zhao Xu was getting frustrated. Why is Dong Xuebing’s mouth so wicked? Can’t you be nicer?
Moreover, two million RMB?
Do you have so much money?
Zhan Shui County’s people do not know if Mayor Dong has twenty million RMB. Still, he definitely can afford two million RMB. His four million RMB Land Rover is still parked outside the City Finance Department. Most of them had also experienced Dong Xuebing’s skill in arguing. This guy could argue with the Party Committee members until they were speechless. How can he let these people off lightly?
