Su Yan had guessed right.
That was indeed what Dong Xuebin had in mind.
Immoral? A Dirty Trick? Heh, after working all these years, when had Dong Xuebin ever not been immoral? When had he ever not used Dirty Tricks? That was how he worked!
Book out the hotels?
Force the Foreign Guests out alive?
Ordinary people could not come up with something like this. Even if they did, they would not dare do it. Even if they dared, they would not have the means to pull it off. But Dong Xuebin could think of it, he dared to do it, and he had both the means and the money. There would not be many vacant rooms left in the better hotels anyway. Booking them all would only cost a few hundred thousand. Dong Xuebin did not care about such small money at all. What he cared about was never money, but face and momentum. The reason he had not ordered those hotels to refuse Deputy Director Niu and the others was, first, because he did not want to make things difficult for the local hotels and businesses, and second, because he did not want to leave himself open to accusations of abusing his authority. So he paid for it himself, under his own name. Even if someone brought it up later, Dong Xuebin would have every reason to stand firm. Who said a County Party Secretary could not book hotels? I just want to book them. I just want to reserve every room. I'm using money I earned legitimately. What's it to you!?
As for their county's Guest House? It went without saying that, after everything that had happened, Deputy Director Niu would never lower his head and ask them to arrange accommodations. Other hotels were even less worth
