Chapter 1667

In the courtyard.

Han Fei asked, "So what do we do now?"

He Zhou said, "Secretary Wu asked Director Dong to go to his office."

"Sigh, just wait for the leadership's punishment," Yin Cheng'an sighed.

Dong Xuebing said to them, "Sorry to trouble you all, I'll go first."

Yin Cheng'an reminded him, "Be more polite, try to admit fault as much as possible, and don't act like you did earlier. Although this incident had a very bad impact, there may still be room for maneuvering. It mainly depends on the attitude of the leadership and how they handle it. Director Dong, remember that." Although he didn't know who was backing Dong Xuebing, he knew he had some background and wasn't insignificant, so there might still be some chance.

Dong Xuebing just nodded without saying anything and walked away.

Just as he took a few steps, his phone rang.

Dong Xuebing glanced at it and saw that it was his mother-in-law, Han Jing, calling. He couldn't help but feel a headache. After a moment's thought, he answered reluctantly, "Mom."

"What's going on?" Han Fei shouted.

Dong Xuebing could argue with Fang Wenping and ignore Yin Cheng'an's authority, but he dared not argue with his mother-in-law. "Mom, you heard about it?"

Han Fei said angrily, "With such a big incident, how could Mom not know?"

Dong Xuebing sighed, "It's just a minor disagreement, Mom, don't worry about it. It's nothing."

"I'm puzzled. How did you end up fighting with Fang Wenping?" Han Jing said, "She's a nasty woman from the Fang family, famous for her bad temper. Well, your reputation isn't much better than hers. You two are equally matched, so don't blame each other."

"I'll handle it," Dong Xuebing said.

"How will you handle it? Even your fourth grandpa wouldn't be able to handle it," Han Jing said bitterly, "Ordinary matters are one thing. I don't want to criticize you, but this is the open day of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, with so many foreign journalists present. You, you don't let me rest assured."

Dong Xuebing apologized, "I'm sorry, Mom."

Even after hanging up the phone, Dong Xuebing didn't tell Han Jing why he had such a big conflict with Fang Wenping, because they hadn't told the family about the matter concerning Xie Ran and Fang Shuling, and Dong Xuebing didn't want to bring it up. He concealed the events of the past few days.

But as soon as he took a few steps forward, his phone rang again. This time, it was an unfamiliar number.

"Hello, who is this?" Dong Xuebing said.

"Brother Dong, it's me, Fang Shuling," a soft female voice said.

"Oh, Xiaoling, what's the matter?" Dong Xuebing said indifferently.

Fang Shuling said, "It’s my fault that cause you to argue with my aunt."

Dong Xuebing continued walking, "This has nothing to do with you. This is between the two of us. You don't need to blame yourself."

Fang Shuling hurriedly said, "Actually, my aunt is quite nice. She's not as irritable as others see her. I practically grew up with her when I was a child. She always treated me like her own daughter, spoiling me and being very good to me. You two must have some misunderstanding. Let me call my aunt..."

"No need, there's no misunderstanding in this matter," Dong Xuebing said.

"Brother Dong," Fang Shuling's voice was almost crying.

"I can't settle things with Fang Wenping. This matter isn't over yet. Don't worry about it," Dong Xuebing said.

Fang Shuling hurriedly said, "Then let me apologize to my aunt on behalf of her. I'm sorry. You..."

"There's nothing to apologize for. Let's leave it at that," Dong Xuebing was determined. He hung up the phone directly. It wasn't that he was angry with Fang Shuling, but he was a straightforward person. He isn't in the mood to discuss this matter with others.

On the other end.

After Dong Xuebing hung up the phone on Fang Shuling, she felt distressed for a few seconds, then hurriedly called her aunt. "Auntie, what are you doing?"

On the other end of the phone, Fang Wenping said, "What am I doing?"

"Why are you fighting with Brother Dong again?" Fang Shuling was also angry.

Fang Wenping chuckled, "This little bastard owes me a scolding. Xiao Ling, don't worry about this matter. Focus on your studies."

"But he is Brother Ran's brother-in-law. How can I not care?" Fang Shuling said.

"I'm still your aunt," Fang Wenping said impatiently, "Are you being disloyal?"

Fang Shuling's eyes turned red. "I'm not, but you and Brother Dong shouldn't be like this. I've heard Brother Ran say that Brother Dong is a good person. He has almost risked his life over ten times to save ordinary people. I believe a person who is willing to sacrifice himself to save others who are unrelated cannot be bad. You should know more about Brother Dong's background than me, so why can't you..."

Fang Wenping said, "I don't care what he's done. I don't like him."

Fang Shuling suddenly had nothing to say. She suddenly felt that her aunt and Brother Dong were too alike, both are hooligans and unreasonable.

Who was right and who was wrong seemed to be meaningless.

Dong Xuebing and Fang Wenping seemed the same; they were just finding fault with each other.

These were two people with similar personalities and temperaments, but often, the more similar they were, the more irreconcilable their conflicts became.

At the office.

The news spread quickly.

With hundreds of people watching, the news spread rapidly.

"Hey, did you hear?"

"Hear what?"

"Hey, Old Xu, don't you know? The head of the First Office, Fang Wenping, and the director of the Eighth Office, Dong Xuebing, fought and exchanged insults in the cafeteria."

"No way. How is that possible?"

"So many people witnessed it. Why would I lie to you?"

"This time it's a big deal."

The matter was so sensational that it caused a stir.

Within ten minutes, almost everyone at the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection knew about it, and even some foreign dignitaries who had come to inspect heard about it from the translators. Many people's first reaction was disbelief, unable to believe such a thing could happen.

But many people were not too surprised, just amazed.

They weren't surprised because they knew what kind of people Fang Wenping and Dong Xuebing were.

Fang Wenping, a woman who could personally send her husband to prison, was a veteran of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection with a big reputation. Almost everyone knew her, and coupled with her deep background, she was a presence that no one dared to provoke in the unit. Everyone knew she was a tough woman. Under her influence, the First Office had not dared to oppose her for many years.

The new leader, Dong Xuebing, was also a rascal, daring to collide with colleagues' cars and fight with colleagues right under the leadership's noses.

Two troublemakers.

Two thugs.

This time, when they collided, some people felt that no matter what they did, they wouldn't be surprised.
