Chapter 83: Apology

Xiao Dong was stunned when he heard what Guo Panwei said.How could his father help other people open car doors? This material is rooted in n0velbin★

Section Chief Xu was shocked. "Your uncle is..."

Guo Panwei glanced at the both of them and said proudly:"Liu Guowei!"

Section Chief Xu jumped. "Chief Liu? Chief Liu from Economicand Technological Development Zone Customs?" He immediately looks at GuoPanwei's face. One second passed, two seconds passed, three seconds passed....Section Chief Xu remembered that day. He took in a deep breath and had anembarrassed look on his face. His face turned red immediately. "Ahh... You areChief Liu's nephew... This... it's a misunderstanding. This is amisunderstanding!"

Xiao Dong was still in shocked. "Dad!"

Section Chief Xu shouted: "Get back to your room!"

"I... I..."

From his father's reaction, Xiao Dong knew the other party'suncle was a higher rank than his father, and it was much higher. Yes. SectionChief Xu might be somebody in the main office, but compared to Chief Liu, hewas miles behind. There were not on the same level. Section Chief Xu wasregretting. If he knew this person was Chief Liu's relative, he would not saythose words just now! Also, how did that brat become Chief Liu's nephewsuperior? Section Chief was puzzled.

"I don't think this is a misunderstanding!" Guo Panwei wasnot willing to let him off. "Tell me, which part of this matter is amisunderstanding?"

"Errr..."

Dong Xuebing was surprised to see Guo Panwei taking controlof the whole situation. He exchanged looks with Qu Yunxuan and then give GuoPanwei an approval look. This Guo Panwei was really something, Dong Xuebingthought to himself.

Guo Panwei saw the appreciative looks from Dong Xuebing, andhe knew he had left a good impression with him. He immediately stares atSection Chief Xu and indirectly bootlicks Dong Xuebing. "I don't know whathappened in the past. But our Chief Dong is kind and generous to everyone. Hehas a mild temper. Since he has conflicts with your family, then it must be youhave done something wrong and make Chief Dong angry!"

What Guo Panwei said was very unreasonable. But it waspleasant to Dong Xuebing's ears.

Section Chief Xu did not dare to refute Guo Panwei. He wipedthe cold sweat in his palms. "It's my son who is at fault. That..."

"Stop finding excuses!" Guo Panwei interrupted him. "Sinceyou all are at fault, why are you all still so arrogant? Who do you think youare? You still dare to scold my sister earlier? Damn! Who are you to scold him?Let me tell you! Scolding sis is the same as scolding our Chief Dong! ScoldingChief Dong is the same as scolding me, Guo Panwei! This is equivalent toscolding my uncle! What are you trying to do? Ah? You dare to scold my uncle?If I remember correctly, you should be a Section Chief at one of the branchoffices? Your surname is Xu?! Fine! I will remember you!"

Section Chief Xu was panicking. How did this turn out to bescolding Chief Liu? He immediately tried to defend himself. "No. I did notscold Chief Liu..."

Guo Panwei really knows how to handle such situations. Heimmediately passes the ball to Dong Xuebing. "Chief Dong, what do you think weshould do? Just one word from you, I will call my uncle now."

Section Chief Xu quickly shouted: "No! No! Xuebing, it's amisunderstanding. It's really a misunderstanding!"

Dong Xuebing was feeling good from what Guo Panwei had said.He looked at the flustered Section Chief Xu and his humiliated son, Xiao Dong.His anger subsided. A few seconds later, Dong Xuebing looked at Qu Yunxuan andGuo Panwei. "Let's go back." Dong Xuebing had the upper hand right now, and hewas not in a rush to make any decision.

Xiao Dong's lips had turned purple. "I'm very sorry."

Section Chief Xu slapped the back of Xiao Dong's head. "Ihad spoiled him!" He kept quiet for a few seconds and then said to DongXuebing. "Xuebing, I still have not congratulated you for your promotion.Hahaha, you have just entered the bureau, and you got promoted? Ah.... You willhave a bright future. Let's find a day to celebrate. I will treat you todinner. Errr... Xuebing, can you tell Chief Liu's nephew..."

Dong Xuebing had a stern look on his face. But in his heart,he was laughing. They had apologized and compensated him with a pair of leathershoes and two bottles of Maotai. This was more than what he and Aunt Xuan haddiscussed earlier. They had only wanted to demand an apology and a new pair ofshoes. Now, they received two bottles of expensive Maotai. But Dong Xuebingcannot accept the apology too quick. He kept quiet and looked at Qu Yunxuan.

Section Chief Xu smiled awkwardly: "Yunxuan..."

Qu Yunxuan knew what Dong Xuebing had in mind. She pausedfor a while and sighed. "You all go back first. Let me speak to Xiao Bing."

Section Chief Xu felt better. "Ok, ok. Thank you."

Xiao Dong said with a stiffed voice. "Thank you, Sister Qu."

"Xuebing, we will go back first. We will treat you to dinnersome other days."

The door closed, and the father and son went back.

Qu Yunxuan walked back to the living room and saw DongXuebing still had a stern look on his face, pretending to drink his tea. Shelaughed and knocked his head playfully. "Stop pretending! They had leftalready. Are you trying to put on aires with me?"

Dong Xuebing laughed and asked: "Aunt Xuan, are you feelingbetter?"

Qu Yunxuan also laughed and rolled her eyes. "You ah... Let'ssee what shoes did they buy for you." She turned and opened the shoebox. "Oh...this leather feels good, and it's branded. It is much more expensive than thepair I bought for you. The Maotai is also a costly brand. Oh, we still have notopened up the two cartons of cigarettes your colleague gave you." She walkedover to the sofa and unwrapped the two cartons of cigarettes given by Guo Panwei."Chunghwa brand? Two cartons? It cost a few hundred RMB for one carton."

Dong Xuebing suddenly stood up and said. "I nearly forgot.Aunt Xuan, check if there is any cash in the gifts."

"Cash?" Qu Yunxuan checked the cigarettes and the Maotaiboxes. She smiled and shook her head. "There is nothing in the Maotai boxes,and the cigarettes are still wrap up in a plastic wrap."

Dong Xuebing replied: "Ok. We must not do anything wrong."

"But you still received the cigarettes? Isn't that wrong?"

"Ahhh... This is different. Cigarettes and alcohol are usualgifts. But if money is given as gifts, it will be different. Money cannot beaccepted!" Dong Xuebing did not want to make this mistake over a small sum ofmoney. It was not worth it.

After keeping the cigarettes and alcohol, Qu Yunxuan stoodin the living room, looking at Dong Xuebing for a long time.

Dong Xuebing blushed and touched his face. "What's wrong?"

Qu Yunxuan smiled. "Since the day Section Chief Xu waspromoted, his family had become very arrogant. Everyone in the estate is afraidof offending them. Look at what happened earlier. Sighed... Our Xiao Bing hadgrown up and became successful. Now, people have come up to your apartment togive gifts and bootlick. When something happens, your subordinate will stepforward to help you settle it. If it was our newspaper agency or a privatecompany, a leader with the same rank will not be able to enjoy this respect andtreatment."

After hearing this, Dong Xuebing had a sense of achievement.That's right. He and his mother had to bow down to Section Chief Xu in the pastwhenever they met. They were afraid of offending this 'Big Shot.' But now?Section Chief Xu and Xiao Dong had lost face in front of him. In the future,they will try all means to avoid him!

Notes: Typical face slapping plot in Chinese novels. But it still feels good to see arrogant characters being slapped in the face. Maotai is a ChunghwaCigarrette.
