Chapter 531 – Dark Red! (1/2)

Morning.

Family Quarters, unit 601.

Thunders and the rain started.

Dong Xuebing walks out of the kitchen and doesn’t dare to let his eyes wander around again. His arrival had disrupted Mayor Geng’s plans to let her younger brother become the Subdistrict Office Director. He had also caused her younger brother to be hospitalized for over-drinking, and he knows she should not have a good impression of him. But he must still show his respect.

Geng Yuehua sat on the sofa and gestured to Dong Xuebing to sit.

Dong Xuebing smiles. “Are you District Mayor Geng? Sorry for recognizing you so late.”

“I remember you are… call Dong Xuebing. Thank you for your help.”

“This is nothing. Are you feeling unwell? Do you need to go for a checkup at the hospital?”

“I am fine.” Geng Yuehua glanced at Dong Xuebing from top to toe. “Don’t be so restrained. Sit down and talk.”

“Alright.” Dong Xuebing sat opposite her. He thought for a while and explained. “I had wanted to report to you, but you are not around both times when I went to the District Government. I have finally met you today.” His eyes automatically look at Geng Yuehua’s long and slim legs when she is drinking her tea.

Geng Yuehua moves forward slightly to put her teacup on the table. “You are here for three days now. Are you use to it?”

“I’m used to the environment here. This place is wonderful, and it must be due to your good leadership.”

Brown-nosing is free, and Dong Xuebing doesn’t mind saying all these things.

Geng Yuehua doesn’t like to hear such things and did not reply to anything.

Dong Xuebing can feel the pressure or an overpowering aura from Geng Yuehua after he tried to kiss her ass. He heard rumors that she hates flattery. He felt uncomfortable, and her behavior is the opposite of Xie Huilan’s. She had not smile since he enters her apartment and treats others coldly.

This is not Dong Xuebing’s first time meeting a Leader as rigid as Geng Yuehua. He stopped smiling and don’t dare to make jokes.

Geng Yuehua suddenly said. “I heard Guang Ming Subdistrict Office had pegged the staff’s bonuses to residents’ complaints, and the Neighborhood Committees have started accepting residents’ complaints.”

Dong Xuebing raised her brows. “Yes.”

Geng Yuehua looks at Dong Xuebing. “You all are setting a precedent.”

“Someone has got to do it, and I feel accepting residents’ complaints can improve our Subdistrict Office’s efficiency and services. This will be a great motivating factor to the staff, and I was about to report this to the District.”

Geng Yuehua picks up the newspaper and replies. “Others had already reported this to me regarding this issue. Many comrades strongly object to accept the resident complaints and raised this to me. What is your view on this?”

Dong Xuebing frowned. “This proposal had been discussed at different levels, including the Neighborhood Committees. There will surely be opposing views, but most people agreed with it. Did someone complain about this to the District Government? I have failed in my duties, but I have not met any opposition yet. I will set up a meeting with the staff on Monday to speak to them again.”

Geng Yuehua flips her newspaper and continues reading it.

Dong Xuebing saw she did not reply, and he kept quiet.

After a while, Geng Yuehua places the newspaper on the table and knocks on an article. “Subdistrict Offices’ and Neighborhood Committees’ service standards have been an issue. Look, something happened to a Subdistrict Office under Xi Ping District.” She paused for a second. “Your Subdistrict Office’s residents’ complaint counter will be a pilot project to see its effectiveness. Report to me if there are any issues. That’s all.” Dong Xuebing is surprised as she had given her approval.

That’s all, is another way to ask Dong Xuebing to leave.

Dong Xuebing stood up. “Alright. I will be leaving now.”

Geng Yuehua nodded her head slightly.

Dong Xuebing had heard about District Mayor Geng’s serious attitude and did not think she was cold.

As Dong Xuebing is leaving, there is a gust of strong wind. The unit’s windows are all opened because of the gas leak earlier, and rain started pouring through it. The hot water flask on the table almost toppled.

Geng Yuehua frowned and got up to close the living room’s windows.

Dong Xuebing quickly says. “I will close the balcony’s windows.”

Geng Yuehua nodded and closed the living room’s windows. Her white blouse got wet from the rain and turned slightly translucent. After that, she went to the guest room.
