Official Career Storm

Chapter 1761: Chapter 1761

Around seven in the evening, Wen Ru came.

Song Guanchao was a bit surprised and said, "There’s nothing much wrong with me, you don’t need to make a special trip to see me."

Wen Ru sat down and asked, "How are you planning to handle this matter?"

She normally wouldn’t ask about Song Guanchao’s work. This time, it was because the incident was too vile, and she was a bit worried.

Plus, the two of them hadn’t seen each other for a long time, and she couldn’t quite hold back the longing in her heart.

Song Guanchao saw the worry and concern in her eyes and told her his plan.

Seeing that it was almost nine o’clock and she still had no intention of leaving, Song Guanchao glanced toward the door and asked, "Are you cold?"

Wen Ru avoided his gaze and said, "The hospital has heating, it’s not cold."

Song Guanchao lifted the quilt. "It’s even warmer in here."

Wen Ru rolled her eyes, and just then, footsteps sounded—the nurse came in on rounds.

A few minutes later, after the nurse left, Wen Ru stood up and said, "I’m heading back. Take good care of yourself."

Song Guanchao grabbed her arm; her body lost balance and fell into his arms.

The next second, Song Guanchao kissed her.

After more than ten seconds, Song Guanchao finally let her go. Wen Ru’s pretty face was already flushed, full of shyness.

"Once this matter is settled, I’ll come to you," Song Guanchao said gently.

Wen Ru didn’t respond, stood up and straightened her clothes, then walked away with small steps.

Watching her slightly flustered back, Song Guanchao smiled, lay down, and rested.

...

Song Guanchao stayed in the hospital until Monday before being discharged.

He went to the office, ready to contact Zhou Xingjian, when Zhou Xingjian had already come looking for him on his own.

"Director Song, here’s the information you asked for." Zhou Xingjian handed over a file; on it were the IDs and contact details of the secretaries and drivers of the responsible persons of the polluting enterprises.

Song Guanchao opened it and skimmed it, saying, "Thanks for the hard work."

Then he picked up his phone, found Tan Miao’s number, and called: "Secretary Tan, busy?"

Now whenever Tan Miao saw Song Guanchao’s number, his scalp would tingle a bit.

Because he’d gotten too close to Song Guanchao, Bao Qi was very displeased with him.

Especially the fact that Song Guanchao had bypassed Bao Qi several times and gone to him, the Disciplinary Committee Deputy Secretary, to handle some issues, which made Bao Qi very unhappy.

Tan Miao had even thought it through: worst case, he’d just fall out with Bao Qi; at least he still had Song Guanchao and Wu Qiangwei behind him.

But after the series of events that had happened recently, he regretted it endlessly.

This Mayor Wu, why is he so rash?

Just for a pollution problem, he actually didn’t mind offending so many leaders.

Song Guanchao too—he acts simply without thinking.

But the deed was done; now all he could do was regret. Even if he wanted to fix it, it was too late.

Resigned, Tan Miao said, "What is it?"

"I want to look into a few people."

"What kind of people?"

In his heart, Tan Miao silently prayed: please don’t let it be those leaders from the Park.

He really didn’t want to get entangled in this.

"There are two junior staffers in the Park Management Committee suspected of embezzlement and taking bribes, and the responsible persons of those polluting enterprises are suspected of offering bribes. Have their secretaries and drivers come in. I’ll send you the list later."

Hearing this, Tan Miao’s mind boomed.

Damn, the very thing you’re afraid of is exactly what comes.

What he feared most was getting involved with the Park, and in the end he still didn’t escape.

Tan Miao asked, "How many people?"

"There should be thirty to forty."

"That’s too many." Tan Miao tried to struggle: "The Disciplinary Committee is already short on manpower. With this many people, I’m afraid we won’t be able to manage."

"I’ll give the City Bureau a heads-up and ask the police to assist."

"...Alright." What else could Tan Miao say? He could only grit his teeth and agree, then added, "Director Song, do you want to give Secretary Bao a heads-up?"

"I will."

After hanging up, Song Guanchao went to find Wu Qiangwei and told her the action plan.

Wu Qiangwei immediately called Bao Qi; faced with such a request, Bao Qi couldn’t refuse.

Wu Qiangwei specifically reminded him that this operation must be kept confidential and absolutely must not be leaked!

Then she called Liang Jianfeng, and Liang Jianfeng arranged for Director Ma to get in touch with Bao Qi.

After arranging these matters, Song Guanchao went back to his office.

Within fifteen minutes, he received calls from Tan Miao and Director Ma one after another; both sides had begun to move.

...

Park Management Committee, inside the office.

Yan Jing and Zhang Zhixiang had become much more honest now. They clocked in and out on time every day and didn’t dare to mess around anymore, afraid that Song Guanchao would catch them doing something.

"I heard our Director Song was attacked," Yan Jing said in a low voice.

Zhang Zhixiang let out a dry laugh. "Serves him right."

The two of them had no goodwill toward Song Guanchao at all; they couldn’t wait to see him take a hit.

Creak~

The Committee’s main door was suddenly pushed open, and a group of men in uniforms walked in. Yao Linghua and the others all looked over.

Police?

The junior staffers all felt a jolt inside.

Yao Linghua walked up and had just opened her mouth when Director Ma had already shown his ID and asked, "Who’s in charge here?"

"I—I am," Yao Linghua said.

"Are Zhang Zhixiang and Yan Jing here?"

"They are." Yao Linghua’s heart skipped a beat, then settled slightly.

The two who were named immediately panicked, their hearts pounding, glancing at each other, not knowing what had happened or why the police had suddenly come looking for them.

Only when Yao Linghua led Director Ma over to them did the two slowly get to their feet.

"Name."

"Zhang Zhixiang."

"Yan Jing."

"Come with me." Director Ma tossed out these words and turned to leave.

Their legs felt like they were filled with lead. Only when some officers stepped forward did they finally lift their feet and follow.

...

The polluting enterprises had already been shut down for a long time, and the secretaries and drivers of people like Chairman Fang were enjoying the leisure.

They weren’t those ordinary workers on the assembly line.

Even if the company didn’t resume operations, their salaries still had to be paid.

With their positions, they were more comfortable than many civil servants in the system.

Qin Hao was Chairman Fang’s secretary. During his time off, he spent his days accompanying his girlfriend shopping and eating out.

When he’d been working before, he’d wished he could rest more, but now that he’d actually gotten a long break, he was starting to get sick of this kind of life.

Suddenly, his phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number.

"Hello, is this Qin Hao?"

"Yes, speaking. Who’s this?" Qin Hao’s tone was polite; as Chairman Fang’s secretary, the people he dealt with were never ordinary.

He had no idea what kind of identity the owner of this number had. If it happened to be someone he couldn’t afford to offend, using an impolite tone on impulse could easily offend someone for no reason.

"This is the Jiangzhou Public Security Bureau. We have a case that requires your cooperation. Please come to the Police Department immediately."

Qin Hao was completely baffled; he racked his brain but couldn’t figure out why the police would come looking for him.

But he did know a bit about how the system worked: the one contacting him was the City Bureau, not a substation. That was quite a high level.

"Officer, may I ask what kind of case it is?"

"Sorry, it’s not convenient to talk about it over the phone. Don’t worry, we’re only asking for your cooperation in an investigation."

"Oh, I see..." Qin Hao looked at his girlfriend who had just come out of the fitting room and said, "Then I’ll come over after I finish up here."
