Chapter 552 (1/2)
Chapter 552 – Wedding banquet in the adjacent street!
Before noon.
11 am.
Dong Xuebing went to Liu Xiang Hu Tong to check on the progress. The debris had been cleared, and he drove back to the Subdistrict Office for lunch. When he was about to reach the Subdistrict Office, he heard the sounds of firecrackers.
Why are people letting off firecrackers during this time?
Is it a wedding?
Dong Xuebing frowned and drove towards the firecrackers sound.
Ping An Street. This street is not under Dong Xuebing’s jurisdiction. It is under Ping An Subdistrict Office, and it is located diagonally next to his office building. He can see the street from his office’s windows. Guang Ming Subdistrict Office was at Huai An Yi Li formerly and had moved to its current location a few years ago. Their current location is one street across Ping An Subdistrict Office. That street acts as the boundary between both Subdistrict Office.
One hundred meters….
Two hundred meters….
Three hundred meters….
Dong Xuebing finally found the place where people were letting off firecrackers.
Someone is holding their wedding at a big restaurant. A convoy is parked in front, and it is very crowded.
Dong Xuebing took a look and is not interested. He made a turn and was about to leave.
But suddenly, someone called him. “Director! Director Dong!”
Dong Xuebing looked around and saw Wang Yuling waving to him from the restaurant‘s entrance. He remembered her mentioning she had taken time off from work to attend her friend’s wedding. He drove over and parked by the roadside.
Dong Xuebing alighted. “Director Wang, why are you here?”
Wang Yuling laughs. “My high school friend is getting married. Director, are you here to attend the wedding too?”
“I just happen to pass by this area.” Dong Xuebing replied with a smile. “Alright. I am leaving.”
Wang Yuling stopped Dong Xuebing. “Wait. The banquet is starting, and you should come along.”
Dong Xuebing laughed. “It’s your friend’s wedding, and I don’t know her.”
“My friend’s husband is Director Chu’s son, and many people from the District Government are here.”
“……. Director Chu?” Dong Xuebing had heard of this name.
“Yes. Ping An Subdistrict Office’s Director, Chu Qinghua.”
Dong Xuebing remembers this person. The adjacent Subdistrict Office Director’s son is holding his wedding today. He had not met Chu Qinghua as he is new to the area, but he had heard of him.
Wang Yuling’s political wisdom is not high and insists Dong Xuebing enter the banquet with her.
Dong Xuebing smiled. Although many of the District’s Leaders are attending, Chu Qinghua did not invite him. Why should he attend the banquet? But he frowned as he thought about it. I am your adjacent Subdistrict Office Director, and you had invited Wang Yuling. Why didn’t you send me an invitation or give me a call? This is so disrespectful! He thought for a while and felt he would be embarrassed if he left now. Others will think that he left because he did not receive the invitation. Damn! It is too embarrassing! I will attend the wedding and not give you a red packet since you all are not giving me face!
Dong Xuebing does not act or behave like others. “Director Wang, I will join in the fun. Let’s go.”
“Eh? Who is this?” A family member of the wedding couple walks over.
Wang Yuling laughed. “This is our Subdistrict Office, Director Dong.”
Wang Yuling’s reply attracted the stares of surrounding people. Everyone turns and looks at Dong Xuebing, who is standing in front of his Cayenne.
“That guy is Director Dong?!”
“The guy who beat up others?”
“Why is he driving a Porsche? Is that his car?”
“Damn! This Subdistrict Office Director is so daring to drive this car.”
