Official Career Storm

Chapter 1704: Chapter 1704

On the second day, Song Guanchao did not continue his visits and investigations. Over the years, many residents have been affected by the pollution in the park, and it is impossible for him to visit them all on his own.

After arriving at the City Government, he called Zhou Xingjian over.

"Director Song." Zhou Xingjian pulled out a chair and sat down. After some time working together, he was already quite familiar with Song Guanchao.

Moreover, he could feel that Song Guanchao’s trust in him was growing daily.

"Director Zhou, there’s something I need you to do."

"Please, go ahead." Zhou Xingjian was full of enthusiasm.

He wasn’t afraid of Song Guanchao assigning him tasks; he was afraid of not being assigned any.

Song Guanchao briefly explained the issue of pollution in the park and asked him to arrange for some people to visit and investigate the surrounding areas, to make a record of the residents affected by the pollution.

Zhou Xingjian listened intently, occasionally jotting down notes. After clarifying Song Guanchao’s core requirements, he closed his notebook and said, "Then I’ll head over now."

Initially, Song Guanchao had been cautious of Zhou Xingjian, but after interacting for over half a year, he found that Zhou Xingjian was indeed a capable person and gradually delegated some authority to him. Zhou Xingjian did not disappoint, handling the tasks assigned to him quite well.

Bzz bzz~

The phone on the desk vibrated, and seeing the incoming call from "Fu Ying," Song Guanchao knew she must have arrived.

"Director Song, I’ve arrived in Jiangzhou." Fu Ying spoke with a playful tone.

Song Guanchao smiled: "Alone?"

"Yes, alone. I’ll go to the guesthouse to drop off my things first. Will you meet me at the guesthouse, or shall we meet somewhere else?"

Fu Ying’s words were full of hints.

They had only met in Pinghai City not long ago, so they hadn’t been apart for very long.

"Don’t go to the guesthouse. Choose a different hotel, and I’ll come to you."

The inspection team was operating out of the guesthouse, so the chance of running into them was quite high.

Although both he and Fu Ying were single, and even if they were together it wouldn’t be inappropriate, if Su Rong found out and made a news story out of it, there would be repercussions.

After hanging up, he grabbed his car keys and set off.

Fu Ying was a step behind him, and when she arrived at the hotel, Song Guanchao stood up from the waiting area in the lobby and walked towards her, and the two entered the elevator together.

As soon as they entered the room, before Song Guanchao had a chance to speak, his mouth was sealed with soft, fragrant lips.

Their clothes fell piece by piece to the floor, and the atmosphere in the room quickly became sultry, filled with groans and sounds of collision, only restoring to silence after a long while.

"Do you want me to come to Jiangzhou?" Fu Ying rested her head on his arm, her hair speckled with tiny beads of sweat.

Song Guanchao analyzed rationally: "Dujiang City has limited prospects for development; breaking away from Lingjiang is impossible, at least not in the next ten years. Rather than linger in Dujiang, it’s better to come to Jiangzhou."

Fu Ying understood everything he was saying.

In terms of personal development and the city’s resources and accessibility, Dujiang City couldn’t catch up to Jiangzhou.

She gently stroked Song Guanchao’s muscular chest, pondering something, and after a while, asked, "Does Mayor Wu know?"

"Yes."

"Does she hope I move to Jiangzhou?"

Song Guanchao lowered his head to look at her. Fu Ying also raised her head and they locked eyes for a few seconds before she asked, "You’re together with her, aren’t you?"

She had long sensed the unusual relationship between them and had previously tried to probe, but Song Guanchao always deftly changed the subject.

Song Guanchao shook his head, still avoiding her question directly: "She respects your decision."

Fu Ying’s eyes dropped, and her fingers traced circles on his chest, tactfully choosing not to pursue the topic, instead switching gears: "What’s the situation with the High-tech Zone?"

After receiving Song Guanchao’s call last time, she specifically researched it and learned that the head of the High-tech Zone was Mayor Chang, who was concurrently serving as Vice Mayor.

Though Mayor Chang wasn’t very old, there hadn’t been any news of him advancing to a higher position, so why had he suddenly stopped being the head of the zone?

Something must have happened.

Song Guanchao explained the recent occurrences to her.

Fu Ying listened quietly and said, "What is Mayor Wu planning to do about the pollution issue in the park?"

"Shutdown, merger, and relocation." This has always been the approach.

Fu Ying bit her lower lip gently and asked, "When can I take office?"

Song Guanchao smiled: "Have you decided?"

"Yes."

As he said, Dujiang City had limited prospects, and she had no backing; it would be difficult to climb higher in the future.

The best outcome would be to lead a direct department in another prefecture-level city.

Jiangzhou is different.

Song Guanchao has already established himself in Jiangzhou, and she heard that Governor Lu Zhizhong is backing him.

Moving to Jiangzhou with Song Guanchao’s support, the position of High-tech Zone head would only be a stepping stone.

Her only concern was Wu Qiangwei.

She could see that the relationship between Song Guanchao and Wu Qiangwei was not ordinary, so wouldn’t Wu Qiangwei notice her relationship with him?"

"Rest for a bit, have lunch, and come to the City Government in the afternoon to meet and talk with Mayor Wu. Mayor Chang has only been temporarily relieved; the position won’t be truly vacant until the pollution management decision is made. It’ll likely be by the end of the month." Song Guanchao calculated the timing.

Fu Ying responded with an "Oh," glancing at her phone: "It’s only ten-thirty."

With that, she moved her supple body, slowly crawling onto him, her face still flushed from the aftereffects, gazing intensely at him with eyes full of affection.

Song Guanchao straightened his back and sat up, pulling her flexible waist and engaging with her joyfully.

...

After having lunch, Song Guanchao drove her to the City Government.

Meanwhile, in a coffee shop outside the guesthouse, Du Canyang was discussing matters with a voluptuous, charming mature woman, whose every gesture exuded allure.

This woman was the journalist from the Ministry of Propaganda whom Du Canyang had invited, Xu Zi.

"Mr. Du, when did you become so righteous? You brought me all the way from Beijing just to seek justice for those residents affected by pollution?" Xu Zi’s voice was seductive, and her reclining posture particularly enticing.

Du Canyang chuckled: "I’m still an inspector, so I have to address the issues inherent to my role, can’t just ignore them, right?"

Xu Zi giggled, clearly skeptical of his words.

"I’m not interested in probing your motives; just tell me, what do you want me to do?"

"I want to blow up the issue of park pollution!"

Xu Zi held her teacup and said: "This is the Provincial City; if things get dramatic, I’d be offending the local leaders. The Provincial Committee’s leaders might even resent me."

Du Canyang said: "Don’t worry, you just need to conduct interviews and investigations. No need to show your face. Once we get the interview footage, I’ll find someone to release it."

Xu Zi said: "It’s quite a workload, very tiring."

Du Canyang, smiling, handed her a bank card. Xu Zi glanced at it, naturally took it, and slipped it into her bag.

Afterwards, she took a sip of coffee and said: "Wait for my call."

Xu Zi winked at him alluringly, stood up, and swayed her slim waist as she left the coffee shop.
