Official Career Storm

Ministry of Propaganda?

Upon hearing this, Mayor Cai was taken aback, and his face changed slightly.

Song Guanchao looked at Lin Wanqiu: "Journalist Lin, has the recording been sent out?"

Lin Wanqiu nodded in cooperation: "It has been sent back."

Mayor Cai knew very well that Song Guanchao was saying this intentionally for him to hear.

Not only was what he said just now recorded, but it was also sent back...

If he kept them here today, what happened here would be exposed.

He's not afraid of a Provincial City mayor, but he doesn't dare provoke the Ministry of Propaganda.

That's the national mouthpiece!

Mayor Cai's face changed unpredictably, and at this moment, the door was pushed open, and several security guards walked in briskly.

Song Guanchao leaned calmly on the chair, as if he hadn't heard any commotion behind him.

"Get out!" Mayor Cai rebuked.

The security guards stopped, puzzled.

Only when Mayor Cai reprimanded again: "Get out!"

They looked at each other, the secretary was also puzzled, but still left with the security guards.

"Heh, Director Song, why didn't you introduce yourself earlier?" Mayor Cai plastered on a smile, his preposterous yet deferential attitude was laughable.

"I forgot." Song Guanchao replied casually, tossing the cigarette he had taken two puffs of into the ashtray, and stood up: "Since Mayor Cai isn't planning to terminate the contract today, we'll head back. The city's pretty busy, and I can't stay here too long."

"No rush, no rush." Mayor Cai tried to keep him: "Since we agreed to terminate the contract, we can't let Director Song make the trip for nothing. Have some tea first, I'll have someone bring the contract over."

This round, he lost.

He originally thought that this young Mayor Song would be easy to deal with, but unexpectedly he's a deep thinker; no wonder he climbed to Vice Mayor at such a young age, you can't judge a book by its cover.

Moments later, the secretary brought the termination contract.

Two copies.

Song Guanchao handed one copy to Qiao Zi, and picked up a copy for himself to go through.

After confirming there were no issues with the contract, Qiao Zi signed it with a pen.

It wasn't until four-thirty in the afternoon that they left the office, the secretary watching Mayor Cai speaking and smiling in a perplexed manner, unsure what act he was playing.

Escorting Song Guanchao and the other two downstairs, and watching them leave, the secretary noticed Mayor Cai's face suddenly turned cold.

Though he didn't know what was discussed in the office, he could tell that Mayor Cai seemed to have suffered a loss.

...

"Let's get something to eat first, then head back."

Song Guanchao also wanted to stay one more day, but the inspection team had already arrived today, and there were issues concerning industrial park pollution to handle.

Lin Wanqiu glanced at him resentfully, but Song Guanchao pretended not to see.

During the meal, as Qiao Zi went to the bathroom, Song Guanchao held her hand: "Let's go back together tonight."

"Why should I go back?" She said this, but Lin Wanqiu felt secretly delighted in her heart.

"Come stay at my place for a few days, treat it as a little vacation for yourself." Song Guanchao brushed her thigh and winked: "You helped me a lot today, I'll have to reward you well tonight."

Lin Wanqiu's eyes glistened and she intentionally asked, "How will you reward me?"

Song Guanchao's hand that was on her thigh reached further in, everything was understood without words.

They returned to Jiangzhou at ten-thirty at night.

Exhausted from the journey, tiredness was visible in the expressions of both women.

Once in the car, he first sent Qiao Zi back to the guesthouse. Lin Wanqiu claimed to have booked a room in another hotel, but Qiao Zi knew she would surely end up at Song Guanchao's place at night.

After sending Qiao Zi into her room, as Song Guanchao was about to leave, he was suddenly called: "Coming over tonight?"

Song Guanchao paused, looking awkward.

What he feared most was overlapping schedules.

No matter how energetically he was, he was only one person and couldn't handle two women at the same time, unless they all slept under the same blanket.

But that was obviously impossible.

Song Guanchao's brain raced, thinking of reasons to decline, while Qiao Zi merely teased him, not wanting to trouble him: "Seeing you a bit tired, go back and rest, recharge your energy."

Phew~

Song Guanchao breathed a sigh of relief: "Hmm, you should also rest early, call me if anything comes up."

Going downstairs, getting in the car, the two exchanged glances, and Song Guanchao asked: "Hungry?"

"Hungry."

"What do you feel like eating?"

"Eat you!"

"Are you teasing me? Just wait, you'll see."

Song Guanchao turned the steering wheel, and the car headed towards the neighborhood.

...

The next day.

When Song Guanchao went out, Lin Wanqiu was still resting.

Having flown early yesterday and transferred to high-speed rail, then following Song Guanchao back to Jiangzhou at night, exhausted as she was by him, it would take until at least noon to recuperate her drained energy.

Today is Saturday, yet the City Government was still bustling, Song Guanchao brewed a cup of tea in the office, and walked into Wu Qiangwei's office at nine-thirty.

"The termination contract is signed, releasing Director Zhang today?" Song Guanchao asked.

"Yes, release them."

Now that the goal was achieved, there was no need to continue holding them.

If avoidable, she didn't wish to offend other officials, even if they weren't in the same province as her.

Song Guanchao hummed in agreement, then said: "The inspection team arrived yesterday and their office is set up at the guesthouse."

Wu Qiangwei pondered for two seconds and said: "Go arrange a lunch meeting with them."

Song Guanchao nodded, returned to the office, and called Zhou Xingjian over.

"Contact the inspection team, Mayor Wu wants to treat them to lunch, see if they have time."

"Okay." Zhou Xingjian went to contact the inspection team, and Song Guanchao called Director Ma to ask him to release Director Zhang.

He looked at the time, it was already ten.

The schedule was tight.

After two seconds of contemplation, Song Guanchao decided to go to the industrial park in the afternoon.

But before that, he needed to contact over there and confirm someone would be there in the afternoon to avoid making a futile trip.

"Which Vice Mayor is in charge of the industrial park?"

Song Guanchao mumbled, unable to recall after a long thought, and decided to ask Zhou Xingjian.

Then he remembered Zhou Xingjian was contacting the inspection team…

He happened to see Jiang Yiren's number, hesitated for a moment, then dialed.

Jiang Yiren, sitting at her desk and attentively processing documents, saw the caller ID, Song Guanchao, and her serious work demeanor instantly turned a bit joyful.

"Hello, Director Song, oh, okay, I'll check."

Jiang Yiren put down her phone to look up the information that Song Guanchao needed.

It was easy to find and she quickly found it.

She specifically printed a copy to deliver it in person, giving her an excuse to see him.

"Knock, knock."

"Come in."

Upon entering the office, Jiang Yiren saw a familiar figure sitting before Song Guanchao, it was Wu Yun.

"Director Wu." Jiang Yiren's smile froze for a second, then quickly returned to normal.

"Hello, Director Jiang." Wu Yun glanced at the file in her hand and then looked away.

"Director Song, here's the file you wanted."

"Thank you."

Song Guanchao accepted the file. With no reason to remain, Jiang Yiren cast a longing glance at him where Wu Yun couldn't see, and left, looking back repeatedly.

After she left, Song Guanchao opened the file, which contained the personal information of Vice Mayor Chang Hai.

The industrial park was under Mayor Chang's supervision.

Wu Yun tilted her head, asking: "I heard that Jiajia went to Beijing?"

Song Guanchao looked up, and with a nod, replied: "She's been there for some time."

"Oh~" Wu Yun's eyes curved into crescents, a smile spilling over: "Then I'm going to your place tonight."
