Thousands See You Off!

Afternoon, Municipal Party Committee Courtyard.

According to Dong Xuebin's plan, he had originally intended to return to his office in the morning, pick up his things, say goodbye to the leaders, and leave. But he ended up chatting with Secretary Zhan for half the day and talking with Luo Haiting for another half, dragging things out until noon. Luo Haiting, Liu Hanqing, and the others even pulled him to the cafeteria for a meal.

After lunch.

"No, I really have to go."

"Director, leave tonight instead."

"There'll be plenty of chances later. Next time I come back, I'll treat everyone."

"Then... then take care of yourself. Have a safe trip."

"Alright, thank you, everyone. Until we meet again."

His things had already been packed and placed in the car. After leaving the cafeteria, Dong Xuebin walked over to the jet-black Land Rover Range Rover, opened the door, got in, and waved goodbye to everyone.

Some of his colleagues waved back at Dong Xuebin as well.

But when Dong Xuebin drove to the courtyard gate, something unexpected happened.

A crowd of people, young and old, suddenly blocked the entrance. More and more gathered, numbering several hundred, nearly a thousand!

"What's going on?"

"Why are there so many people at the gate?"

"Could it be another protest blocking the gate, like last time?"

"This is bad. Notify the security department, hurry!"

Most of those outside were ordinary citizens, and their numbers kept growing. People were arriving from every direction!

Because of the previous mass brawl, everyone in the Municipal Party Committee Courtyard immediately became alert. Before long, even the Municipal Party Secretary and the mayor had come down. Xie Huilan and several city leaders followed behind, directing security personnel, while the police quickly arrived as well.

What was happening?

No one knew!
