Chapter 1152: Lending his car
Entrance of the Party Committee family quarters.
After 10 am.
Zhang Wanshui did not want to delay his son’s wedding and decided to put this aside. Many Party Committee members are waiting, and he can’t get the traffic police to settle this dispute. He has no time to wait for the traffic police as Secretary Meng is waiting for him. He waved to the Lexus driver and got back into his car. He can’t be bothered with Dong Xuebing today.
Dong Xuebing returned to his car. He moved his vehicle to the roadside and parked there.
The Lexus driver got in and tried to start the engine.
However, the Lexus was severely damaged, and the engine could not start.
The driver tried several times and got out of the car. He looked towards Secretary Zhang and shook his head.
Zhang Wanshui cursed under his breath. They had to change the leading car to the Audi.
The other side.
Pu An’s family’s driver is also trying to fix their leading car.
Dong Xuebing walked over. “Secretary Pu.”
Pu An nodded. “Mayor Dong.”
“What happened? Why is your car damaged too?” Dong Xuebing asked.
Pu An’s wife sighed. “It was. .h.i.t by that Lexus when we were exiting.”
Dong Xuebing pretends to be surprised. “Sigh…. That driver is reckless. How can he enter our County Driving unit? He is dangerous on the road.”
Mrs. Pu replied angrily. “They purposely did it!”
Pu An frowned. “Stop talking about it.”
Mrs. Pu kept quiet.
The other Party Committee members saw Dong Xuebing, but they ignored him and got back into the cars. The Meng faction is very united.
Only the United Front Department Chief Jian Xiangrong came over. “You are back, Mayor Dong.”
Dong Xuebing smiled. “Oh, Chief Jian. You are here too. Haha…. I arrived this morning.”
“This car….” Jian Xiangrong looked at the Land Rover outside. “Is it yours?”
Dong Xuebing decided not to hide anymore. He replied. “That’s right. I drove it here during my appointment and had never used it. I got it after landing this morning. Sigh…. This is not my car. It belongs to my wife, and I use it these days.”
Pu An was shocked. “This is your car!?”
Dong Xuebing smiled. “Secretary Pu, I had disclosed my a.s.sets before my appointment. This car belongs to my wife and I, and we bought it legally.”
Pu An waved. “I did not mean anything.”
Dong Xuebing replied. “I know you don’t mean anything. I am telling you in case anyone reports me to the Commission for Discipline Inspection. It’s fine for you all to check on my finances.” He said this loudly for the staff behind to hear.
Bought it legally?!
Mayor Dong can afford a 4 million RMB car?!
d.a.m.n! How wealthy are you?!
Everyone discussed it among themselves when they heard it.
Yao Cui, Ma Bing, Zhang Wanshui, and the rest were stunned. Jiang Fangfang’s eyes sparkled, and Secretary Meng frowned. Everyone has different expressions.
Everyone thought Dong Xuebing had borrowed this car and did not expect it to be his.
Dong Xuebing dares to say it in front of everyone, which means he is not afraid of any investigations.
All the leaders here had never seen a government staff buying a top-tier Range Rover legally.
That’s 4 million RMB!
It is an average family’s lifetime wage!
They saw Dong Xuebing was nonchalant about that scratch on his car and knew the latter’s a.s.set was more than a few million RMB.
A twenty-five County Party Committee Member….
A top tier, 4 million RMB, Land Rover….
An air of mystery surrounded Dong Xuebing immediately.
It seems the youngest Deputy Director in the province is more than a good speaker.
The Zhang family changed their leading car and were ready to leave.
The Pu family’s leading car could not start, and it was too late for repairs. Their next best car is the Pa.s.sat. The Pa.s.sat is considered a good car in Zhen Shui County but costs only around 200,000 RMB. It’s too shabby to be the wedding convoy’s leading car.
“Dad!” Pu Tao asked. “What should we do?”
Pu An frowned. “Just use the Pa.s.sat.”
Pu Tao’s face changed. “I am not sitting in that Pa.s.sat!”
“Taotao….” Mrs. Pu persuaded. “Just make do with it.”
Pu Tao replied angrily. “My wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime event. How can I make do with it?! I rather not get married than sit in that Pa.s.sat!”
Pu An said. “But… how can I find a better car now?”
The groom pulled Pu Tao. “Let’s forget it, Taotao.”
“No!” Pu Tao is a proud woman. She suddenly noticed the Land Rover outside and walked towards Dong Xuebing, who was greeting Jiang Fangfang.
“Mayor Dong.” Pu Tao was slightly embarra.s.sed.
Dong Xuebing turned. “Oh, you must be Xiao Tao. What is it?”
“My leading car has broken down, and….”
“And? Just speak your mind.”
“Can I borrow your Land Rover?”
Dong Xuebing paused for a second and smiled. “Of course. It’s not a big deal. Here.” He took out his key and pa.s.sed it to Pu Tao.
Pu Tao smiled brightly. “Thank you, Mayor Dong. Thank you.”
Dong Xuebing smiled. “Don’t mention it.”
Pu Tao is overjoyed and pa.s.ses the key to her family’s driver.
Pu An saw it and quickly said. “Mayor Dong, this is not right.”
“I am attending your daughter’s banquet anyway. Let’s go together.” Dong Xuebing replied.
Pu An looked at Dong Xuebing. “Thanks.”
Dong Xuebing laughed. “It’s fine… it’s fine….”
Pu An felt good when Dong Xuebing crashed his car into the Lexus, and the latter lent his daughter his car. He will remember this favor.
Pu Tao and her husband proudly got into the Land Rover, and Zhang Wanshui’s family and friends looked terrible.
They had suppressed Pu An’s family until Dong Xuebing appeared.
The Pu family’s wedding convoy leading car is a 4 million RMB Land Rover, and the Zhang family’s leading car is a 400,000 RMB Audit. The difference is ten times!
Zhang Wanshui was embarra.s.sed.
It felt like a slap.
Zhang Wanshui refused to lend Dong Xuebing a car this morning to display his side’s power and let Dong Xuebing sees the situation. However, Dong Xuebing showed his power a few hours later.
