Official Career Storm

Chapter 1707: Chapter 1707

The next day, Du Canyang arrived at the office area. As he passed by Su Rong, he casually placed the USB drive on her desk and walked to his workstation without looking back.

Su Rong looked at his back, the corners of her mouth slightly curved up.

What happened last night indeed surprised her, and she almost lost herself.

Fortunately, at the last moment, he managed to restrain his impulse.

Although she was still kissed and touched by him and suffered quite a bit, at least she could ensure that Du Canyang wouldn’t try anything with her for the time being.

Su Rong plugged in the USB drive and couldn’t wait to edit the interview video into segments.

...

"Director Song, these are my compiled statistics, take a look." Zhou Xingjian handed over a document.

This week, he personally led a team to conduct surveys and compiled the statistics of residents within ten kilometers of the industrial park.

He left a complaint window, encouraging affected residents to call and report their situation.

The results were gratifying. In just a week, they received hundreds of reports.

Song Guanchao was reviewing the statistical data when suddenly the phone on his desk rang.

He casually picked up the receiver and heard Wu Qiangwei’s somewhat heavy voice: "Are you in the office?"

"I am."

"Come over."

"Okay."

Song Guanchao put the receiver down and placed the document in the drawer: "The Mayor is looking for me, I’ll look at this later."

"Alright, Director Song, you go ahead."

Song Guanchao hummed in response, left the office with him, and after taking a few steps, saw Wu Yun walking towards him, her face full of anxiety and tension.

Zhou Xingjian immediately understood that Director Wu was here to see Song Guanchao, and wisely took his leave first.

"We’ll talk later, the Mayor is looking for me." Song Guanchao continued walking.

"Then I’ll wait for you in the office, you hurry up." Wu Yun seemed to have something very important to tell him.

Song Guanchao nodded and went to the office, where Shu Xue opened the door, poured a cup of tea, and then left.

Wu Qiangwei looked serious, holding her phone tightly.

She put the phone down and slid it over: "Take a look."

What is it?

Song Guanchao picked up the phone and gradually his expression became grave.

The pollution incident in the chemical park was trending online!

Someone had investigated the pollution issue and clearly laid out the entire process.

He put the phone back and pondered, "I don’t know who did it."

There were only a few suspects, with Zhou Zheng and Sun Jiajun being the most suspicious.

But thinking it over, he felt that these two shouldn’t be so foolish.

One was a City Secretary and the other was a Deputy Mayor. If the pollution scandal blew up, they wouldn’t escape responsibility.

But if not them, then who could it be?

Song Guanchao racked his brain but couldn’t figure out who would have the motive.

"Does Secretary Zhou know?" Song Guanchao asked.

Wu Qiangwei shook her head: "He’s in a meeting. I just tried to contact him, but he didn’t pick up. He probably doesn’t know."

Just like Song Guanchao had analyzed, a big scandal wouldn’t benefit anyone. If Zhou Zheng knew, the right move would be to have the publicity department tamp down the heat right away.

"Does Minister Liu not know either?"

"He’s also in a meeting." Wu Qiangwei said, "I’ve already messaged them. They’ll contact me after the meeting. Right now, it’s not about who did it, but how to solve it."

She’s not afraid of causing a stir; the pollution issue at the park has been a longstanding problem, predating her tenure.

If she can solve the issue perfectly, not only will she be blameless, but she will also be credited.

Song Guanchao sighed. He originally wanted to wait and see who would oppose Wu Qiangwei on this issue.

But with this incident, it’s not a good idea to wait any longer.

"I’ll handle it as soon as possible."

Returning to his office, Wu Yun hadn’t spoken yet when the office door was suddenly slammed open.

Both looked up to see Sun Jiajun, with his secretary, rushing in one after the other.

Sun Jiajun was full of rage, angrily stormed to the desk, and pointed at Song Guanchao’s nose, cursing him: "Song Guanchao, are you deliberately making things difficult for me? You, a mere office director, want to fight with me? Do you think with Wu Qiangwei around, I won’t dare to touch you?"

Song Guanchao was not exactly good-tempered, and being inexplicably scolded like this, he found his anger boiling up.

But he managed not to act rashly. There was definitely some misunderstanding because he certainly hadn’t done anything against Sun Jiajun.

"What is Mayor Sun talking about?"

"Playing dumb, huh?" Sun Jiajun said, "Has the park’s handling result been released? Who allowed you to send people to conduct interviews without any decision? Even dared to post videos online! What are you trying to do? Drive these 22 companies to their end? Do you want to throw the City Government into a media frenzy?"

Song Guanchao suddenly realized: he thought the video online was posted by him.

"Mayor Sun, you’ve misunderstood, I didn’t post that video."

"Of course you won’t admit it." Sun Jiajun sneered, pointing his finger at him: "I’ll report this to Governor Yang, I’ll report to the Provincial Committee, just wait for your punishment!"

Sun Jiajun turned on his heel and left, slamming the door shut.

Wu Yun asked, "You know about the news already?"

"Yeah." It seems Wu Yun was also here for this matter.

"Creak." Just then, the door was pushed open again, and this time Jiang Yiren came in.

Her face too was full of anxiety, but seeing Wu Yun was also there, she hesitated to speak.

"Here to talk about the news?" Seeing her expression, Song Guanchao guessed it was about the same issue.

Jiang Yiren blinked: "You know?"

"Yes." Song Guanchao said, "You can head back for now."

"Oh..." Jiang Yiren glanced at Wu Yun, reluctantly walked out.

Leaning back in his chair, Song Guanchao appeared thoughtful.

He was no longer concerned about who secretly interviewed and made a big fuss out of it.

What intrigued him was why Sun Jiajun was having such a big reaction?

What did this have to do with him?

Even if he wanted to perform in front of Governor Yang, he didn’t need to be this excited, right?

Really puzzling.

Bzz bzz...

The phone on the desk buzzed non-stop.

He glanced down; the call was from a corporate manager in the park, Chairman Qian.

He wasn’t particularly annoyed by this unexpected event.

"Chairman Qian..."

"Director Song, isn’t your way of doing things a bit inappropriate?" Chairman Qian’s voice was sinister.

From that, Song Guanchao knew it; Chairman Qian also thought the video was posted by him.

"I just found out as well."

"Hah." Chairman Qian clearly didn’t believe him: "Director Song, it’s best to leave some leeway when doing things, there’s no need to be so ruthless. Even clay figures have some fire."

Song Guanchao squinted: "Chairman Qian, are you threatening me?"

"Hah." Chairman Qian offered no response, just a cynical laugh before hanging up.

Soon after, another corporate manager called.

Connecting the call, he continued to explain, continued to be threatened...

One call after another came through, and not until he finished the last one did he have peace.

"I seem to have offended all these big bosses at once."

Song Guanchao chuckled self-deprecatingly, but he didn’t take it too seriously.

After all, a confrontation was inevitable at some point.

He stood up, saying, "Come with me to the park."

Since things have blown up, no time like the present, he’d resolve it thoroughly today.

Just as he was about to leave, the phone rang again.

He didn’t plan to pick it up, but seeing it was Wu Qiangwei calling, he immediately answered.

"Is it you who allowed the polluting companies to resume operations?" Wu Qiangwei asked.

"Resume operations?" A slight frown crossed Song Guanchao’s brow, "These companies have resumed operations?"

Wu Qiangwei affirmed: "They resumed operations some time ago, and it’s been exposed. Now online, everyone’s saying the City Government took bribes from the polluting companies and is colluding with them... You better come here."
