Chapter 28 – Guo Shunjie in trouble!

The disadvantage of BACK was it could only return back to 1minute ago. After Daqin Railways had reached the daily limit, Dong Xuebingcould not predict what would happen next.

Half a minute past. Daqin Railway share prices fell slightlyto +6.28%.

Even though the prices had fallen slightly, Zhou Changchunwas still excited. He was impressed with Dong Xuebing’s observation of theultrashort-term trading. Even those experts on TV could not be compared withDong Xuebing. Who dares to claim that this share will surely rise? Who dares toguarantee a stock which was plunging will rise? Dong Xuebing had beenaccurately forecasting these.

Zhou Changchun looked at Dong Xuebing, who was sittingbeside him. He likes this young man.

“Come, drink some water.” Zhou Changchun took out a papercup and poured a cup of water for Dong Xuebing.

Dong Xuebing stood up and received the cup with both hands.“Thank you chief. I will pour myself.”

Zhou Changchun smiled and patted his shoulders, asking himto sit down. “You don’t need to be so courteous with me. From the first day Imet you, I know you are exceptional. Hahaha...... See, I am right! Your skills inpredicting the ultrashort-term trend are on a different level.”

“Thank you for your praises.”

Dong Xuebing felt these words were not sincere. The firsttime he met Zhou Changchun, he accidentally addressed him as “Deputy Chief,”and he was frowned upon by him. The other time, it was because of his sittingpostures. If he does not have the ability BACK, Zhou Changchun should be givinghim a hard time now. Hah, someone exceptional? Who are you trying to fool?

This was how it works in government agencies.

Still, water runs deep here.

The leader had helped him poured water, and he must finishit. After drinking the cup of water, Dong Xuebing said: “Chief Zhou, I will goback to work now?”

Zhou Changchun nodded. “Let me know immediately if youencounter any issues at work.”

Everyone in the office looks at him when he walks out of theroom. Dong Xuebing remembered that Guo Shunjie had ordered him to do somethingand his anger rise again. He looked around the office. Guo Shunjie had notreturned back to the office. So, he returned to his sit and continued with hiswork.

Since both of them had fallen out, Dong Xuebing decided toignore him.

Zhuang Zhi wanted to say something to Dong Xuebing butchanged his mind.

Suddenly the door opened, and Guo Shunjie walked in.

The General Affairs Office became tense again. Dong Xuebingdid not look at him and continued typing on his computer.

Guo Shunjie saw the water dispenser was still empty and felthe was being challenged. His face changed, and he walked closer to Dong Xuebing.He pointed at Dong Xuebing and angrily said: “Fine. I can’t even order you tocarry a bottle of water up? Who do you think you are?”

Dong Xuebing looked back at him coldly. “It’s not me. It’syou who thinks you are somebody.”

Guo Shunjie grabbed Dong Xuebing’s collar. “I am giving youone more chance. Go and bring up a bottle of water now! You hear me?” Hethought Zhou Changchun had not arrived at the office yet and did not controlhis volume.

Old Yan shouted: “Guo Shunjie, you are too much.”

Tan Limei stole a glance at Chief Zhou’s office and shoutedlouder than Old Yan. “Don’t fight! Let’s settle this peacefully.”

Changjuan and Guo Panwei also did not warn Guo Shunjie thatChief Zhou was in the office. They were sitting at their places as spectators.

“Settle peacefully? I had told him nicely earlier.” GuoShunjie tried to control his anger. “But he is the one who is disrespecting theseniors in this office.”

Dong Xuebing knew that Tan Limei and Old Yan had shoutedloudly because they wanted to let Chief Zhou know and he could step in tosettle this dispute. But Dong Xuebing suddenly had an idea. He replied nicely:“I am busy just now and had no time to do it.”

Guo Shunjie saw Dong Xuebing “admitting defeat” and becamemore arrogant. “Busy? What are you busy with?”

Dong Xuebing purposely did not saw Chief Zhou had looked forhim and replied. “Something very important.”

“Important?” Guo Shunjie grabbed his collar more tightly andshouted. “What is more important than bring up the water? Huh? I have justfinished my work, and I can’t even have a cup of hot tea when I return? Youstill have the time to do other things? You should put aside all other task andbring up the water first!”

A door opens. It was the small office room’s door.”

“...... Chief Zhou?”

“Chief Zhou.”

“Errr...... you are around?” Guo Shunjie was not panicking. Heslowly releases his grip on Dong Xuebing’s collar and retracts his hands. Hetried to complain about first. “Chief Zhou, this Xiao Dong is too......”

Zhou Changchun facial expressions were not too good. Hestared at Guo Shunjie in the eyes and interrupted him: “I am the one who askedXiao Dong to do something. Are the things you said for me?”

Guo Shunjie was dumbfounded. “Ah..... I...... I don’t know aboutthis. I did not.....”

Zhou Changchun continued: “I want to know which is moreimportant. Is your task more important or mine? Whose tasks is more urgent?Yours or mine? Huh? Xiao Dong have to help you change the water for thedispenser first before he can do the task I assigned to him? Huh? Are you theChief or am I the Chief?”

Guo Shunjie knew that he had said something wrong. Heimmediately said: “I..... That’s not what I meant......”

“Shouting and grabbing a colleague’s collars during workhours? Are you trying to beat him up? Where do you think this place is? Do youstill have any respect for the leaders? Huh?” Zhou Changchun asked with a sternlook. His following words were obviously siding with Dong Xuebing. “Can’t youcall Old Wang to bring the water? Why must you call Xiao Dong to do it? Did heoffend you?”

Guo Shunjie was embarrassed, and his face turns red. “No, Iwill call Old Wang now.” But no one answers his call. “...... Old Wang is notaround.”

Chief Zhou continued scolding. “He is not around, the wholeoffice no need to drink water?”

Guo Shunjie had not expected his words would make ZhouChangchun so angry. He immediately replied. “I will go and carry the water up.”

Guo Panwei looked at Dong Xuebing in shock. He was puzzledwhy Chief Zhou would help Dong Xuebing. Seems like he could not order DongXuebing around in future.

Dong Xuebing immediately says: “Chief Zhou, I am alsoresponsible for this. I should have changed the water first.”

Zhou Changchun waved his hand. “Call Old Wang to do thosemanual work next time.” Zhou Changchun also felt Guo Shunjie had become morearrogant recently. He wanted to make use of this opportunity to give him awarning. If Guo Shunjie carries on like this, he might not give Zhou Changchunany respect. Although Zhou Changchun had been nice to Guo Shunjie, it wasbecause he respects the Political Commissar. It was not because he was afraidof Guo Shunjie. No leaders will be afraid of their subordinates. Guo Shunjiedoes not have a direct relationship with the Political Commissar, even if the PoliticalCommissar was his father, he still has to listen to Zhou Changchun in theoffice. Guo Shunjie must also obey his instructions.

Not long later, Guo Shunjie returns with a bottle of water.He was panting when he places the water bottle beside the dispenser. He musthave lack exercise and seldom do manual labor. He spent a long time to changethe water and still got wet. His expression was really pathetic.

Dong Xuebing was laughing in his heart when he saw thepathetic Guo Shunjie. Don’t you like to order people around? How do you feelbeing ordered around?

Old Yan and Changjuan were secretly laughing at him.

Tan Limei also showed Dong Xuebing a thumbs up under thetable secretly.

Most of the people in the office had experienced GuoShunjie’s arrogance, and everyone was happy to see him getting into trouble. Atthe same time, every one of them saw a different Dong Xuebing. Chief Zhou seemsto value him more recently.
