Power and WealthChapter 81 – Receiving gifts!

Buy me a coffee or tip me on or .

Because Dong Xuebing had to monitor Guo Shunjie editing ofthe document, he left work later than usual.

This was the first time Dong Xuebing experienced the feelinghaving authority. He walked slowly towards his apartment. When he was about toenter the building, he heard the sound of windows opening and a bag of trashwas thrown out from a fourth story. Bang! The bag of trash landed beside garbagesorting bins at the ground floor. The plastic bag of trash broke from theimpact, and the garbage was spewed all over the place. Some leftover soupsplashed onto Dong Xuebing’s shoes and socks. The feeling was grossed!

It’s from Section Chief Xu’s unit!

Dong Xuebing stood there in a daze for a while and looked athis dirty leather shoes. His anger was rising!

“Xu Dong! Are you fucking blind? Did you do that onpurpose?” Chief Xu’s whole family had this habit of throwing their garbage outof their windows. There was once the trash almost hit Dong Xuebing and hismother. But at that time, Dong Xuebing’s family do not have any authority anddare not offend Section Chief Xu, who was working for the government. But now,Dong Xuebing was also an official, and he knew the custom officials had limitedauthorities. This was why he dare to shout at the fourth story window. “Howmany times has it been? Ah? Who will throw their garbage like this?! Is thisyour family’s upbringing?”

Dong Xuebing did not know if it was Xiao Dong or his parentswho threw the garbage. So, he just scolded the whole family.

Many windows in the building opened to look at thecommotion. There were also some residents who had just returned from workstanding there to watch. Everyone living in that building was furious withChief Xu’s family arrogance. But no one dares to offend them. Now everyone wasglad to see Dong Xuebing, who had become a Civil servant scolding the Xufamily. All of them felt good!

Suddenly, Xiao Dong’s head appeared from the fourth story’swindow: “Fuck! Who are you scolding?”

Dong Xuebing looked up at him and shouted: “I am scoldingyou! What’s wrong?”

“Fuck you!” Xiao Dong was still feeling sore when DongXuebing passed the entrance exams. He was pissed with Dong Xuebing, and he spitsout for the window.

Dong Xuebing quickly dodged, and the spit landed justcentimeters away from him. It was a narrow escape.

Xiao Dong had a smirk on his face, and he closes the window.

Dong Xuebing was furious. “Damn! Fuck!” Dong Xuebing hadnever scolded so many vulgarities in life. He still wanted to hurl morevulgarities, but he saw Qu Yunxuan running out of the building towards him.Dong Xuebing swallowed all the vulgarities as he did not want to leave any wrongimpression with Qu Yunxuan. No women would like a guy full of vulgarities.

“Xiao Bing, what happened?”

“Nothing. Let’s talk upstairs.”

Dong Xuebing returned back to his unit and explained to AuntXuan what happened as he changed his socks.

After hearing the whole incident, Qu Yunxuan’s face changed.“This is too much! They are bullying others!”

Dong Xuebing pulled a long face. “I suspect he is targetingme. If I am not downstairs, he will not throw that garbage bag!”

“No! We cannot let this matter rest!” Qu Yunxuan picked upthe dirty socks from the floor and place it in a pail with detergent. Shefrowned and said angrily. “Xiao Bing, you stay here and watch TV by yourself. Iwill go upstairs to reason with them. How can they be so arrogant? How can theynot apologize to you?”

“Let’s eat first. After dinner, we will go and look forthem. I will not let this matter rest!” The Xu family had been looking down onDong Xuebing and his mother since the day they moved into this building. Beforethe Civil Service Exams, Section Chief Xu and Xiao Dong were mocking DongXuebing’s mother. This incident today was the breaking point for Dong Xuebing.He will no longer tolerate this family any longer. No matter what, he must getthem to apologize!

All his mood was gone, and the dinner felt tasteless.

After dinner, Dong Xuebing went to the bathroom to wash hisfeet again. He looked at the pair of new leather shoes. This pair of shoes weregiven to him by Aunt Xuan. Food stains were hard to remove, and this pair ofshoes could not be worn anymore. Dong Xuebing was boiling. He put on a pair ofcanvas shoes and was about to go upstairs.

Ding-dong, ding-dong, ding-dong...... Someone rang the doorbell.

Dong Xuebing thought to himself. I still have not gone up,and you are here to find trouble with me?! Fine!

Qu Yunxuan went to open the door with a black face!

The person at the door was shocked as the door was openedforcefully. “Errr...... Is this Chief Dong’s house?” It was Guo Panwei at the door!

Qu Yunxuan was surprised too. She immediately smiles. “Yes.May I know who you are?” She could see Dong Xuebing nodding from the corner ofher eyes, and she steps aside to let him enter.

Guo Panwei cautiously said: “Nice to meet you. I am GuoPanwei. One of the staff members under Chief Dong.” He was carrying a plasticbag, and there were two items wrapped in newspaper in it. After entering theunit, he saw Dong Xuebing. He immediately smiles. “Chief Dong, sorry I did nottell you before coming. Errr...... these two cartons of cigarettes are a small giftfor you. Ah...... you are still having dinner? Sorry. I will not disturb you.” Heleft his gift there and was about to leave.

Here to send gifts?

Dong Xuebing was surprised. “I have just finished dinner.Don’t leave so soon. Have a seat.”

“Am I disturbing you?”

“Don’t worry. Have a seat.”

“Ok!” Guo Panwei sat down on the chair where Dong Xuebingpointed just now. He sat cautiously with half his butt touching the chair.

Qu Yunxuan almost laughed as she saw Dong Xuebing trying toact calm. She walked to the coffee table and poured Guo Panwei a cup of tea.“Have some tea.”

“Ah.....! I will pour it myself!” Guo Shunjie stood up toreceive the cup of tea. “Thank you, sister.”

Qu Yunxuan smiled. “Don’t mention it. I will go back to domy laundry. Both of you can have a good chat.”

This was the first time Dong Xuebing received gifts. It doesnot matter how much this gift was worth. It’s the thought that matters. He waspleased with Guo Panwei’s gift. He did not stop Qu Yunxuan from leaving as hewanted to have a casual chat with Guo Panwei. There are no everlasting friendsnor everlasting enemies in the world.

After Qu Yunxuan left, Dong Xuebing chatted with Guo Panwei.

Suddenly, there was a commotion upstairs. They could hear thesounds of people arguing and scolding!

It was Xiao Dong and Aunt Xuan’s voices.

Dong Xuebing’s heart skipped a beat. Damn! Aunt Xuan wentupstairs by herself to reason with the Xu family. He was afraid Aunt Xuan wouldget scolded by them, and he immediately walked upstairs.”

“Chief Dong......” Guo Panwei realized what happened andfollowed Dong Xuebing upstairs.
