Chapter 555 – Playing with fire!

Afternoon.

Dong Xuebing drove back to Guang Ming Subdistrict Office, which is not far away. He saw a few staff members looking at him weirdly when he descended.

“Have you heard about it? Our new Director had got into trouble again.”

“Got into trouble again?! What happened?”

“Ping An Subdistrict Office’s Director had held a wedding banquet, and Mayor Geng and District Party Secretary’s wife were there.”

“I know about this. I heard the firecrackers earlier. What happened?”

“Our Director ordered a dish called Women at 40 for them.”

“What is that dish? I have not heard about it in the past.”

“Err… it is a plate of soybean pulp.”

“WTF?! Women at 40 are soybean residue?! Who came up with this dish?! Director Dong must have offended them! They are getting our Director into trouble.”

“That’s right. I heard Madam Yan’s face changed immediately.”

“Of course. This is insulting her.”

“This is an unfortunate disaster. Who would expect that to be a plate of soybean residue?!”

Although Dong Xuebing did not hear their discussion, he knew the news about what happened during the banquet had spread from their expression. He returned to his office and started thinking about what happened at the banquet. He felt something was wrong the more he thought about it. That restaurant’s Boss, Li Lu, knows Madam Yan and Mayor Geng are there and watched over the kitchen. This is an important banquet, and he should know the dish Women at 40 is not a suitable dish to be served.

Didn’t Li Lu check the dishes before it was taken out from the kitchen? Also, Chu Qinghua was beside Dong Xuebing when he ordered that dish. He should have checked the menu before ordering the food for the banquet. Why didn’t he remind Dong Xuebing about that dish?

Something is wrong.

Dong Xuebing narrowed his eyes and called Zhou Yanru to his office. “Director Zhou, please come over to my office.”

Two minutes later, Zhou Yanru entered Dong Xuebing’s office. “Director, what is it?”

“Have a seat.” Dong Xuebing waved and asked. “I had just come back from Ping An Subdistrict Office, Director Chu’s banquet.”

Zhou Yanru nodded. “I heard about it. I heard his son had gotten married today.”

Heard about it? You think?! Dong Xuebing noticed something was wrong. Both subdistricts are next to each other, and why most of his Subdistrict Office’s staff are not invited, and they look like they don’t know anything about it. Only Wang Yuling was invited. Maybe Geng Xinke was invited, but he did not attend.
