Power and WealthChapter 56 – Must win!

 

 Beep, beeeeeep, beeeep!

 

 It was the fulltime whistle!

 

 0:0. It was a draw!

 

 Dong Xuebing released the ball in his arms and supportedhimself up with both arms. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and panted. Tothe spectators, it was a great save. But only Dong Xuebing knew how close itwas. He nearly couldn’t reach it. Luckily his fingertips on his left hand andhis right thumb touched the ball and stopped it.

 

 It was really a close shave!

 

 He was lucky to save it!

 

 The Chaoyang team lowered their heads in despair. TheWestern District team and its supporters were cheering at the top of theirvoices!

 

 “Bing Zhi!” The tall and fat Zhuang Zhi ran over. “Youreally did it!”

 

 A yer which Dong Xuebing does not know gave him a thumbsup. “It was a perfect save! If we know you are so good, we should have let yoube our goalkeeper in the past few matches! This way, we will not lose 6 gamesin a row!”

 

 Tan Limei also shouted in her high-pitched voice: “Bing Zhi!You are terrific! You can even save that ball! You are the best!”

 

 Changjuan only shouted: “Terrific!”

 

 All the yers crowded around Dong Xuebing to thank him.

 

 Guo Shunjie saw Dong Xuebing had saved the day again and wasspeechless. That ball was aimed for the top left corner. How did Dong Xuebingblock it so easily? This Dong Xuebing was really lucky.

 

 Eastern District’s Xu Yan saw they did not lose the matchand she shook her head and walk away.

 

 Chief Xu smiled as she looked at her back view. She walkedover to Dong Xuebing. “You did well! It was a nice save!”

 

 Dong Xuebing immediately replied: “Thank you. It is allluck.” Hahaha. I finally have the chance to impress Xu Yan. Her impression ofme should improve.

 

 “Xiao Dong, don’t be humble.” Li Qing was full of smiles.“You are our hero today. Without you, our team will lose!”

 

 Actually, Xu Yan had heard of a capable newbie from the GeneralAffairs Officest month. She heard about Dong Xuebing from Deputy BureauChief Yang Yizhong. Later, she heard that it was that newbie who risked hislife to enter a burning office to retrieve some important documents. But shehad been swamped and did not have the time to meet this newbie. She only knewXiao Dong was that newbie just now. Xu Yan looked at Dong Xuebing closely andnodded. Dong Xuebing really deserved the nickname “Firefighter.” He could evensave that penalty kick.

 

 On the bus back, everyone was still talking about the matchexcitedly.

 

 In thest row of the bus, Xu Yan asked Dong Xuebing to sitbeside her. “I heard from Director Li that you had just been discharged fromthe hospital and is not fully recovered yet. Can you y in tomorrow’s match?I am thinking of letting you be our first-choice goalkeeper. I think the restof the yers will agree to this.”

 

 “Huh?” Dong Xuebing was shocked. Damn!

 

 Xu Yan asked with a stern look: “What’s wrong? You cannoty?”

 

 Dong Xuebing knew how good he was at ser. He was able tosave the penalty kick because of his power BACK. He can’t use his power for theentire match. He can’t imagine what would happen if he were to y the whole game.He was only able to take advantage of his powers within a minute. Heimmediately exined. “Chief Xu, I’m sorry. The doctors told me to avoidstrenuous exercise for some time. I don’t think I will be able to y the fullmatch. Errr...... How about this? If there is a penalty or some free kicks in adangerous position, substitute me in.”

 

 Xu Yan thought for a while: “Fine.”

 

 Dong Xuebing sighed with relieved.

 

 After that, Xue Yan took out her pen and start scribbling onher notebook. She seems to be nning for tomorrow’s tactics.

 

 Xu Yan had influence over who to take over the role ofDeputy Chief of the General Affairs Office. These few days, Guo Shunjie hadtried to be closer to her but was unsessful. When he saw Dong Xuebingsitting beside her, he was furious. Guo Shunjie had made ns to get rid ofDong Xuebing once District Political Commissar Zhou helped him get theposition. He must get rid of him at all cost!

 

 Dong Xuebing also noticed Guo Shunjie staring at him. Hefelt ufortable.

 

 Dong Xuebing would rather offend a gentleman than to offenda viin. This Guo Shunjie must be up to no good!

 

 No! He must not be the Deputy Chief! I must work harder toget the position!

 

 Soon, the bus enters the Western District Branch Bureau’smain gates, and everyone starts to alight. It was after working hours, andthere were no one around.

 

 Xu Yan was thest to alight from the bus. She stood therelooking at all the yers. “Thankfully Xiao Dong was able to save that penaltykick today, and we can end our 6 matches losing streak. But remember this. Westill have not won a match for 7 matches. We are thest team of thetournament. Don’t you all feel embarrassed?”

 

 Guo Shunjie wanted to voice out that they were embarrassed.But the team was not strong enough.

 

 Xu Yan continued with a cold look on her face. “Today, Iwant all of you to go back and have a good rest. At the same time, reflect onthe reason why we can’t win a single match. Tomorrow is thest match of thetournament. I don’t want to see us getting a draw or lose. Tomorrow we will befacing Eastern District. We must win! We will show them how good the WesternDistrict is! Are you all confident of getting a win tomorrow?”

 

 “Yes.”

 

 “...... Yes.”

 

 The yers replied weakly.

 

 “I can’t hear you!” Xu Yan shouted. “Are you all confident?”

 

 “Yes!” This time, the yers’ replies were louder.

 

 “Good. Dismiss!” Xu Yan was acting like a coach.

 

 Actually, the yers who knew the insider information knewwhy Xu Yan was so serious. The opponent tomorrow was Xu Yan’s long-time rival,Deputy District Political Commissar Xu. No matter whether it was officially orprivately, Xu Yan does not want to lose to Deputy District Political CommissarXu.

 

 On the way home, Dong Xuebing was thinking about the day’sevent.

 

 He had left a good impression with Xu Yan. But it was notenough. She would not help him get the position of Deputy Chief over such atrivial matter. If he wants Xu Yan to help him, he must do something moresignificant and will mean a lot to her. But what should he do? Eh? Tomorrow’smatch is significant to Xu Yan and the Western District team! 7 games without asingle win?! No one will want that result! This is a must win the match! Then......what should Dong Xuebing do to perform and let Xu Yan be grateful to him?

 

 That’s right!

 

 Must make use of this opportunity to get closer with theleaders! This way, Guo Shunjie will not be promoted!

 

 Penalty! Let tomorrow’s match have a penalty!

 

 I pray for a chance to save a penalty kick again tomorrow!

 

 Tomorrow’s match is critical!
