Chapter 530 – The Pretty District Mayor! (1/2)
The next day.
Saturday.
It’s a gloomy day with overcast skies. The wind had picked up, and looks like it is going to rain.
Morning. Dong Xuebing looked at the time and decided to have a good rest today. The Subdistrict Office is not open on weekends, but some staff will be on duty. They will inform the Leaders if there are emergencies.
Dong Xuebing will go to work yesterday, even if it is a weekend. But everything is fine after he started work two days. Although there are still some issues like Geng Xinke and his men are trying to bring him down, the Neighborhood Committees are keeping a distance from him, etc. He had established his authority at the Subdistrict Office and has a few followers now. These issues can wait as he had just got appointed less than three days ago.
After washing up, Dong Xuebing checked his fridge to look for food, but it is empty. He took out his phone and called his mother lazily.
Ring… ring… ring….
“Mum, I am not working today. Are you coming over? If you are, help me buy breakfast. I am starving.”
Luan Xiaoping replied helplessly. “I have supplementary classes today, and the first class is starting soon.”
“Alright. Forget it then.” Dong Xuebing replied unhappily. “I will go downstairs to buy something to eat. It’s going to rain, and I wonder if the breakfast stores are open yet.”
“They should be open.”
“I will go now.”
“Oh, I heard Meixia and Yunxuan are moving to the city, and Meixia is going to buy an apartment.”
Dong Xuebing replied with a guilty conscience. “Sister Yu wanted to work at the Neighborhood Committee and had applied for it. Her entry exam is next month, and I think Aunt Xuan will work at the TV station here. But it should be after the birth of her baby in October.”
Luan Xiaoping paused for a second. “You must take care of them if they come.”
“I know.”
“Alright. Go and buy your breakfast before it rains.”
After hanging up, Dong Xuebing grabbed his wallet and keys and is about to leave home. He hesitated for a second and placed a blue foldable umbrella into his bag. The moment he opens his door, he could smell a faint gas smell. He frowned and noticed the opposite apartment’s door is open. The windows are also opened, and there’s a soft hissing sound.
Is there a gas leak?
Who is staying in this unit?
Dong Xuebing knows everyone living in this building is staff and family members of the Subdistrict Office. Still, he had not asked Zhou Yanru, who is staying in the apartment opposite his. He has not seen this unit with its door opened since he moved here three days ago. If the apartments are assigned based on position, Geng Xinke should be living here. But Dong Xuebing saw Geng Xinke entering a unit on the fifth floor yesterday. Other Subdistrict Office’s Leaders are all staying on the fifth or lower floors.
Dong Xuebing thought for a while and decided to help his neighbor. He cannot pretend not to see it, and it might be a gas leak.
Knock… knock… knock…
“Is there anybody in?”
“…. Come in.”
A lady replied. Her voice is deep but sounds pleasant to Dong Xuebing.
Dong Xuebing entered the apartment with his nose covered. The gas smell is much stronger, but the windows and doors are opened. So, it should not be life-threatening.
The lady, in her early thirties, is in the kitchen meddling with a rubber hose at the stove. She is dressed in a white blouse and grey pants and is curvy. Dong Xuebing got surprised when he saw her face.
Pretty!
This woman is beautiful and captivating!
Dong Xuebing took a deep breath and wonder whose family member is she? Her beauty is comparable to Xie Huilan, Qu Yunxuan, and Yu Meixia!
The woman turns and looks at Dong Xuebing from top to toe.
Dong Xuebing asked. “Is there a gas leak? The smell is too strong.”
The pretty woman nodded.
“Have you switch off the main?”
The woman nodded with a straight face before making a call on her phone. She seems to be calling the property manager, but no one is answering.
