Chapter 378 – Chaos at the Finance Department! (1/2)

Finance Department Administration Office.

After walking out of the office, Dong Xuebing sat down on a sofa in the waiting area and crossed his legs. He lit a cigarette and smoked slowly. Luo Haiting poured some warm water in a paper cup from the water dispenser for Dong Xuebing, and he thanked her.

“Sister Luo, sit down.”

“Ok.” Luo Haiting sat beside Dong Xuebing. “Chief…”

Dong Xuebing continued to smoke. “… huh?”

Luo Haiting asked. “Is waiting here going to be effective? The last time I came, I had waited here the whole afternoon with several other leaders. But all of us did not get a single cent. Err… there are still lots of work in the Agency, and waiting here is not the solution. Do you think it will be better for us to report the situation to the higher-ups, and let Mayor Zhao speak to them?”

Dong Xuebing replied. “I had reported, and Mayor Zhao also cannot do anything.”

“Then…” Luo Haiting sighed. “Are we going to sit here and wait?”

“Yes. I got this. Let’s just wait here.”

Luo Haiting couldn’t understand how waiting here can solve this problem. It might be more effective to quarrel with Ding Li and exert some pressure on him. Do you think the Finance Department is afraid of you waiting here?

Everyone in the office looks at Dong Xuebing from time to time. Some of them recognized him and were whispering among themselves. They knew Dong Xuebing is here to ask the Finance Department for money, and they were used to it. Too many people had come to ask for money these few days, but all of them returned empty-handed. That’s why the staff were not too bothered by Dong Xuebing. They took a glance at the legendary ‘God of Plagues’ and returned to work. They believed Dong Xuebing will leave soon.

One minute…

Two minutes…

Three minutes…

Xu Xu walks out of the office with a worried look on his face. He looked at Dong Xuebing and nodded before leaving. He had not gotten any money from Ding Li.

Luo Haiting cannot stand it. She felt it is meaningless to wait any longer.

Dong Xuebing looked at his watch and took a deep breath. He mumbled to himself. “STOP!”

After a while, the Office Director, Tang Xiaojun, walks out of the office and saw Dong Xuebing sitting there. He said to himself in his heart. Just go ahead and wait here. Chief Ding will never give you a single cent. He turned and walks to a cubicle to continue with his work. Ding Li had occupied his office, and Tang Xiaojun can only work in the shared office.

Suddenly, a commotion was heard in the office.

A staff shouted in, shocked. “Where are the documents? Did anyone see the brown document envelope on my desk?”

The staff sitting beside him said. “Did you keep it in the drawer?”

Tang Xiaojun frowned. “How can you lose such an important document?!”

Before that, staff can continue to look for his document, a female staff shouted. “My PC monitor had blacked out. Can anyone who knows about PC help? My work is not saved.”

Tang Xiaojun scolded. “Quiet down!”

The female staff quickly shut up and pulled a young staff over to check on her PC. If the PC had broken down, she had to type the document all over again. This document contains important information required for tomorrow’s County Government’s meeting. There is not enough time for her to redo everything. After some checking, they realized someone had unplugged the PC. When the PC was switched on, most of the documents were gone. The female staff slapped her forehead in despair.

Immediately after that, everyone felt the office become colder. Some of the staff wore their coats, and some were shivering. Although it’s Spring, it is the start of Spring, and the temperature is still very low. Tang Xiaojun is feeling frustrated. He asked one of the staff to check the temperature of the air conditioner. That staff pressed on the remote controller a few times and told Tang Xiaojun the air conditioner had broken down. Tang Xiaojun shook his head and asked his men to call the repairmen. Like the rest of the staff, Tang Xiaojun also wore his coat. Despite wearing his coat, he still felt cold and went over to the water dispenser to get some hot water.

Click… click… the water dispenser is not working.

Tang Xiaojun shouted angrily. “What is going on today? Why is the water dispenser not working?”

A staff walked over. “Director, I had just poured a cup of water, and it was working fine.” The staff tried again and discover the dispenser had broken down.

“Send it for repairs!” Tang Xiaojun shouted.

“Eh?!” Someone shouted behind Tang Xiaojun.

Tang Xiaojun is getting furious. He turned around and stared at the staff. “What is it again?”
