Chapter 1014: Newspaper Agency Chief Editor was suspended
Chapter 1014: Newspaper Agency Chief Editor was suspended
Noon.
City Commission for Discipline Inspection.
Inspection First Office Director Office.
Ring… ring… ring…. Xie Huilan called. “Do you know about Nan Qi Morning Papers?”
Dong Xuebing replied. “I just saw it. Is their Chief Editor still Dong Haitao? I guess he had not learned his lesson previously.”
“I think Liu Haibin had looked for him, and Dong Haitao thought it was Commander Liu’s instruction.”
“I think this had something to do with Liu Guowei too. His son was removed from his position and is trying to get me into trouble.”
“This has nothing to do with him. He just looked for me in my office. Although he did not say anything, he told me he did not know about this. He would not visit me at my office if it was him and would not use such a low trick.”
“Then it must be Liu Haibin.”
“Yes. I heard Dong Haitao, and he is close.”
“This guy is asking for trouble.”
“Don’t blame me for being naggy. You should maintain good relationships with everyone and not offend them greatly. Look at what happened now. Everything you did was exposed. What are you going to do now?” Xie Huilan paused for a second. “But this is also good. Those incidents cannot be covered forever, and this is like a time bomb. You are just promoted to Deputy Division Chief and cannot be promoted for the time being. It’s better to be exposed now than later. Your promotion chances would be gone if it was exposed later. I will make a few calls to settle this. Don’t prepare my dinner tonight. I might be late.”
Dong Xuebing replied stubbornly. “You don’t need to do anything. I can clear the mess I created.”
“The City leaders know the truth behind this article, but the civilians do not. Civilians hate corrupted officials, and the City might give in to online comments.”
“Anyway, I can settle this on my own.”
“You are stubborn.”
Dong Xuebing took a deep breath after hanging up. He picked up his phone and called Nan Shan District, District Party Committee Geng Yuehua. “It’s me, Yuehua.”
“I know.” Geng Yuehua coldly replied.
“Have you seen Nan Qi Morning Papers?” Dong Xuebing asked.
“My secretary had just shown me. I am reading it.” Geng Yuehua continued coldly before Dong Xuebing could say anything. “Dong Haitao will be gone within two days.”
“Thank you.”
“Don’t mention it. We cannot retrieve all the papers. Be careful.”
“I know. I will think of a way.”
“Ok.”
Both of them do not need to say anything much.
Dong Xuebing did not keep his phone after hanging up. He called Inspection First Office Deputy Director Liu Hanqing. “It’s me, Old Liu.”
“What is it, Director?”
“Continue to investigate Liu Haibin.”
“Isn’t he dismissed from his position?”
“Continue to investigate him. I want to know everything he did since he entered the government service.”
“Ok. I will do it now.”
Liu Haiqing had heard about Nan Qi Morning Papers and knew Dong Xuebing was furious. He understood what Dong Xuebing wanted. The latter wants evidence of Liu Haibin receiving bribes or involvement in criminal activities. He wanted to put Liu Haibin in jail. Dong Xuebing saved Liu Hanqing, and he did not waste any time. He also understood why Dong Xuebing gave him this task and not Luo Haiting. He had worked in the Discipline Inspection longer than her and was better at investigation.
Liu Haibin had provoked the Discipline Inspection again and again.
Liu Hanqing was also mad at Liu Haibin. Even if your father, Liu Guowei, had bowed down to Director Dong, you still want to find trouble with him?! You are seeking death! Do you think the Discipline Inspection staff is useless?! Only the Discipline Inspection can investigate others, and a lowly Tourism Bureau leader cannot challenge them!
Liu Hanqing immediately made a few calls.
You must be taught a lesson!
Nan Qi Morning News Agency.
Chief Editor office.
Two hours passed after the papers were distributed, and Dong Haitao regretted his actions. He did not expect Liu Guowei to call him first. Commander Liu gave him a lashing, and he was shocked. Didn’t you get your son to ask me to publish that article?!
It was at this moment he realized Liu Haibin had lied to him. The former had not gotten permission from his father!
Dong Haitao’s heart skipped a beat, and he knew he was in trouble.
Liu Haibin! You bastard! You had set me up!
After the last article about Dong Xuebing, Nan Qi Morning Papers had been ostracized in Nan Shan District. Dong Haitao was suppressed for over six months, and he hated him to the core. He thought he finally had the opportunity to get back at Dong Xuebing with Liu Guowei’s help, but it was all lies.
A few minutes later.
Before Dong Haitao could think of a solution, Nan Shan District, District Party Committee Secretary Geng Yuehua’s secretary, Ma Jian, called.
“Hello, Secretary Ma.” Dong Haitao greeted politely.
Ma Jian said coldly. “The District Party Committee had decided. You will take a few days off with immediate effect.”
Dong Haitao was stunned. “Take a few days off? We….”
“You can understand it as a suspension. Do you understand?!” Ma Jian said and hung up.
Suspension?!
Dong Haitao drew a cold breath. Suspension, followed by investigation and dismissal. His face changed as he became familiar with the procedures. He did not know Secretary Geng was close with Dong Xuebing and had never heard of them having any dealings. Why was she helping him?!
This is politics.
One wrong step and everything was gone.
Taking sides is an art.
