Power and Wealth

Chapter 1003: Banquet

Morning.

Da Feng County’s town.

Dong Xuebing drove his Passat slowly along the road and looked around. He was familiar with this area and had visited Da Feng County several times as the Investment Promotion Agency Chief. He had also clashed with Da Feng County leaders. He snatched their county’s investor, beaten up their Investment Promotion Agency leader, and scolded their County Party Secretary. He had caused lots of trouble here and believed the leaders knew him well.

Zhong Xin Road….

Guang Zhang North Road….

Guang Zhang West Road….

Dong Xuebing droves around aimlessly and looks around. He was here unannounced to look for any issues and to catch them off guard. It was the same as what he did in Ma Yang County. However, he was in a bad mood after Secretary Zhan’s call. He kept thinking about that incident while looking around.

Dong Xuebing had no intention of finding problems, but problems seemed to have found him.

When Dong Xuebing drove past the main street, firecrackers startled him. He turned towards the sounds and saw a crowd outside a two-stories restaurant. The people standing outside looked like soldiers, and a few wore uniforms. He slowed down and saw the soldiers in uniforms holding high ranks. The parking lots were full of military and government vehicles.

It was a wedding banquet.

It was none of Dong Xuebing’s business. But when he was about to drive away, he saw two familiar people.

Liu Guowei….

Liu Haibin….

They were here too.

Liu Guowei was quite noticeable with his bald head. Although Dong Xuebing had never spoken to him, he had seen him at the City Government Building when the latter came for meetings. Liu Haibin was more recognizable, and Dong Xuebing heard he was still in the hospital last night. The bruise on his face was obvious today, but he did not look injured. He was still smiling while talking to Liu Guowei.

Dong Xuebing narrowed his eyes and stopped the car.

Who’s a wedding banquet is this?

Did Da Feng County have a high-ranking military official?

Even the City Party Committee member, Liu Guowei, brought their son to attend, and most of the guests were from the military.

Dong Xuebing was deep in thought when a car stopped before him. It was another person he knew.

“Mayor Li.” Dong Xuebing smiled.

Li Feng was surprised for a second. “Oh, Director Dong.”

Dong Xuebing got out of his car. “I did not expect to meet you here.”

Li Feng looked awkward as he went over to shake Dong Xuebing’s hand. “I did not expect the Inspection Team’s leader to arrive so early. We were told the inspection is tomorrow.”

Dong Xuebing replied calmly. “I am here earlier. The Inspection Team will be here tomorrow.”

Li Feng was here to attend the wedding banquet. After meeting Dong Xuebing, he weighed the importance and did not enter the restaurant. He stood there and chatted with Dong Xuebing. The people who came with Li Feng also went to Dong Xuebing to greet him.

“Director Dong”

“Nice to meet you, Team Leader Dong.”

Dong Xuebing smiled and nodded to these familiar faces.

The people who came with Li Feng were from Da Feng County Government leaders, and Dong Xuebing had met them. They immediately recognized the God of Plagues and were worried. Nothing good will happen when he appears. As a County Investment Promotion Agency Chief, he had turned Da Feng County upside down. Many of the leaders were punished and fired because of him. Now, he is a City Commission for Discipline Inspection leader and the Investigation Team leader. How are they going to survive if he starts creating trouble again?!

Sigh….

The tides had changed.

Li Feng looked at Dong Xuebing and thought to himself. Around one to two years ago, Dong Xuebing was a nobody in front of him. He even assigned him to be a driver. But now, he had been cautious about what he said in front of him. A report from him would get everyone in trouble.

They chatted for a while, and Li Feng asked. “Director Dong, are you here….”

“I was passing by and saw someone holding a banquet.” Dong Xuebing asked. “Who’s wedding, is it?”

Li Feng and Dong Xuebing had a bad relationship in the past and had clashed several times. Although it was some time ago, Li Feng still worried the latter would bear grudges. After all, Dong Xuebing’s status is different now, and Da Feng County will lose if they fall out. “It’s a Military General. He is from Da Feng County and had returned to celebrate his sixtieth birthday.”

Dong Xuebing blinked. “Military General?”

Li Feng moved closer and said softly. “Navy, Deputy Commander.” It was a taboo to talk about high-ranking leaders in public. That’s was he did not mention the name.

Deputy Commander?

Dong Xuebing thought for a second. “Is he still with the military?”

Li Feng nodded. “Yes. Commander Xiong is still on the front lines.”

No wonder many soldiers were here for the celebration, and Liu Guowei and Li Feng also had to attend. Only someone at Commander Xiong can command such respect in the military and local government. Liu Guowei, a Commander of a local military base, does not even qualify to sit at the same table as Commander Xiong. At most, he can only sit at one of the tables outside.

More military vehicles arrived.

All of them were high-ranking officers, and one was a General.

It was crowded, but there were not a lot of people.

This old man should prefer quiet celebrations. Since I am here, should I attend the banquet?
