Chapter 1005: Invitation card’s serial number
Noon.
Outside of the restaurant.
All the guests had entered the restaurant, leaving Dong Xuebing, Li Feng, and his men outside. The soldiers and that guard were looking at them.
“Sorry, Mayor Li.” Dong Xuebing apologized because Li Feng had offended a City Party Committee member because of him.
Li Feng waved his hand. “It’s fine. We came together, and how can I enter myself?”
Dong Xuebing’s impression of Li Feng improved. “Alright. I will treat you to dinner this evening.”
Li Feng laughed. “Since we are not welcome, how about we have lunch together?”
“No, we cannot have lunch.” Dong Xuebing saw the puzzled look on Li Feng’s face and pointed inside. “We are here to attend the banquet. Why should we leave since we are here?”
Li Feng and his men were stunned. Dong Xuebing still wants to enter?!
Dong Xuebing had no intentions of attending the banquet in the first place, as he felt it was unnecessary to waste his time talking to that guard. But it is different now. Liu Guowei and Liu Haibin had embarra.s.sed him, tried to turn Da Feng County’s leaders against him, and demanded he is punished for something caused by his son. How can he tolerate these insults?! He must attend the banquet today!
Dong Xuebing walked towards the restaurant.
The guard had been watching Dong Xuebing and raised his hand to stop him. “What are you doing?”
“What do you think I am doing?” Dong Xuebing asked.
The guard said. “Show me your invitation card. You are not allowed to enter without any invitations.”
Dong Xuebing had a wrong impression of this guard and frowned. “Who are you to ask me for my invitation card?!”
Dong Xuebing was loud and immediately attracted many people’s attention.
Many military officers’ faces changed. How dare someone create trouble at Commander Xiong’s birthday banquet?!
Some of the officers were armed and immediately became wary of Dong Xuebing.
Li Feng and his men were stunned. They thought the G.o.d of Plagues had changed and become gracious earlier. But to their surprise, Dong Xuebing had been suppressing his anger. He is still the G.o.d of Plagues and has not changed. Today was Deputy Commander Xiong’s birthday banquet, and most of the guests were high-ranking military officers. Even Feng Zhou City Party Secretary came. He had to be polite and respectful here. They could not imagine the consequences of creating trouble here.
However, Dong Xuebing does not care. He was determined to create trouble today.
The guard was furious. “I am Commander Xiong’s guard! I received orders to stop anyone without invitations from entering. Is there any problem?!”
Dong Xuebing sneered. “You talk big. I would have thought you were the Commander if you did not tell me you are a guard.”
“How dare you!” The guard reached for his gun.
Dong Xuebing laughed. “Stop pretending to draw your gun. I had experienced this before. You all are trying to scare me and don’t dare to open fire. You picked the wrong person. No one can scare me.”
“Director Dong….” Li Feng walked over quickly. “Let’s forget it. We can have lunch at another place.”
Dong Xuebing’s foul temper acted up. “No! I must go in for lunch today.”
Li Feng turned to the guard. “Let’s talk things out nicely. It’s Commander Xiong’s banquet today. Why are you drawing your gun? Your temper is quite bad for a young man.” He was slightly mad when the guard reached for his gun. He was not concerned for Dong Xuebing’s safety, as everyone in Da Feng County knew even ten more guards were no match for him.
The guard shouted. “Who asked you all to create trouble here?!”
Dong Xuebing laughed. “I am creating trouble here! What can you do?”
An officer walked out of the restaurant. “What’s wrong? What happened?”
The guard immediately replied. “Someone is creating trouble here.”
That officer seemed to be Deputy Commander Xiong’s trusted aide and was not as strict as that guard. He looked at Dong Xuebing and Li Feng. “Hi, it is Commander Xiong’s birthday today. Can you all please give me ‘face’?”
A Da Feng County Government staff said. “This is Mayor Li and Director Dong.”
That officer paused for a second. “Are you Da Feng County’s Mayor Li? Commander Xiong did not want to trouble the local government and did not send out invitations. I hope you all can understand.” He replied politely and did not bend the rules.
Ring… ring… ring…. Dong Xuebing’s phone suddenly rang.
Dong Xuebing looked at the number and stepped aside to answer. “What is it, Huilan?”
Xie Huilan said. “I was busy because of you and had forgotten something important. You are nearby Da Feng County now. Navy Deputy Commander Xiong is celebrating his 60th birthday and sent me the invitation card. He is inviting both of us to attend. I am busy and cannot attend. I wanted to ask you first, but I had forgotten about it. Are you free to attend? If you are busy, it’s fine.”
“We are invited?!”
“Yes. If you can go, I will give you the invitation card number. Oh, it is today’s noon. Can you reach there in time?”
“Haha…. I am here.”
“Oh, you are there.”
“Yes. But I could not enter without any invitations.”
“The invitation card serial number is 002. Just let them know. They should have records.”
“Ok. I know.”
Dong Xuebing returned after hanging up and saw that guard waiting for him. “I did not bring my invitation card. Serial number 002. Dong Xuebing!”
The guard was stunned.
That officer looked at Dong Xuebing weirdly and checked the guest list. Dong Xuebing’s name was on the second line.
Dong Xuebing continued. “These are my friends. Can we enter now?”
The officer had wanted to ask Dong Xuebing for his ID, but he didn’t dare to ask. “Yes. Please come in. I’m sorry for what happened.”
Before Li Feng and his men could realize what was happening, Dong Xuebing dragged them in.
