Chapter 1338: Mayor Dong’s shocking betrayal
Party Committee meeting.
Dong Xuebing surprised everyone. Everyone went quiet.
What?
Repair the quarters?
Build new quarters?
Build new buildings?
Jiang Fangfang drank her tea emotionlessly. She said nothing, but Dong Xuebing noticed her eyelids twitching slightly.
Pu An and Jian Xiangrongs face changed slightly, and they looked at Dong Xuebing. Pu An was slightly shocked, and Jian Xiangrong was slightly mad. They knew Mayor Jiang would have spoken to Dong Xuebing about road repairs, and he was back yesterday. He should know about her plans. Why did he betray them? What is he up to?
How can anyone joke about this?
Do you know what you are saying?
Build government departments family quarters? This is bullshit.
The County had decided. The fund must be used in critical areas and not to improve their welfare. Building family quarters building, renovating offices these are vanity projects.
Mayor Dong is brilliant
Why did he make such a lowly mistake?
Pu An and Jiang Xiangrong could not believe their ears.
The Jiang Faction is weak. They had fewer members, and they had to stay united. Pu An and Jiang Xiangrong joined Jiang Fangfangs faction later. But Mayor Dong had supported her since he came to the County. How can you turn your back at this critical moment? What are you doing?
Even the Jiang Factions men, let alone the Meng Faction, were confused.
Zhang Wanshui, Ci Boyang, and other Meng Factions men were speechless when they heard Dong Xuebings suggestion.
WTF?
Repairing the government departments family quarters?
You went back on your words too fast.
Dong Xuebing had scolded those people who came to ask for money yesterday. Many of them requested funds to rebuild their family quarters or build new quarters. He lost his temper and chased them away. Damn! Why did you change your mind overnight?
Meng Rui was confused. Build family quarters?
Dong Xuebing continued as if he had forgotten he had scolded those people yesterday. Yes. Our Zhen Shui County is impoverished and lacks funds. All our units family quarters are run down. I inspected those buildings yesterday and was shocked. Most of them are in danger of collapsing. They might collapse with a small impact, and we are not talking about an earthquake. I am worried after seeing the quarters conditions. This concerns everyones lives. What if anything happens? Thats why I suggest we must repair them immediately.
Zhang Wanshui could not stand it. Mayor Dong, you are exaggerating. How are our quarters in danger of collapsing? All the buildings are fine.
Cheng Fuguang added. The buildings had been there for years. How can it collapse suddenly?
Dong Xuebing insisted. Not quite. I worked in Fen Zhou City before. Fen Zhou City did not have earthquakes for years, and an earthquake happened suddenly. We must take precautions and be prepared. It would be too late if any building collapsed.
Cheng Fuguang was repeating what Dong Xuebing said yesterday. But he was refuted. He almost cursed at Dong Xuebing.
These were what you said yesterday, and you are refuting your own words.
Zhang Wanshui told Dong Xuebing off. This is a vanity project.
Dong Xuebing looked at him. I do not think this is a vanity project. Vanity projects are useless and impractical projects. Building and repairing quarters are different. It concerns everyones lives.
Ci Boyang got impatient. The Central Government gave us the funds not to improve our welfare. It is financial aid to help our County. How can you use it to build family quarters?
Dong Xuebing looked at him. You should get this straight, Mayor Ci. This is not improving our welfare. Our quarters had reached a stage where they must be rebuilt or repaired. Go and look at the quarters yourself. The paint is peeling off, and many cracks appeared throughout the building.
Liao Haiwei said. Those buildings were decades old. Its normal.
Dong Xuebing retorted. This is not normal. Who is going to be responsible if anything happens?
Meng Rui looked at Dong Xuebing. Build quarters? You are inviting gossip. What would the Central Government think if they knew we did not use the money on the civilians? Instead, we used it on ourselves.
Dong Xuebing could make up a reason for anything. Civilians are human, and so are civil servants. Everyone is equal. Why cant we repair and build new family quarters for ourselves? We did nothing wrong and should not be scared of gossip.
Everyone:
Dong Xuebing was different from yesterday. He had an entirely different attitude. No one knows what he was thinking.
Can you be any more shameless?
Did you forget how you scolded those people yesterday?
Meng Rui would have lost his temper if anyone suggested this. But Dong Xuebing suggested it. He got the funds from the Central Government and had a say in how to use it. He shook his head in his heart and suppressed his anger. He looked at Jiang Fangfang. What do you think, Mayor Jiang? He believes this ridiculous suggestion was from Dong Xuebing, and Jiang Fangfang does not know about it. She would have stopped him if she knew.
Build new family quarters?
This is bullshit.
Meng Rui passed the ball to Jiang Fangfang.
Meng Rui wanted to let them fight among themselves.
Dong Xuebing looked at Jiang Fangfang and quickly made eye signals. However, he knew it should not work.
Pu An and Jian Xiangrong looked at Mayor Jiang.
Everyone from the Meng Faction looked at her, too. They were waiting for her to retort her supporter. It would be interesting.
Jiang Fangfang did not look at anyone and continued to drink her tea.
Mayor Jiang? Meng Rui asked.
Jiang Fangfang looked up and said calmly. We should repair the quarters. I have the same opinion as Mayor Dong.
Dong Xuebing was moved when he heard it. Mayor Jiang supported his suggestion.
