Official Career Storm

Chapter 1784: Chapter 1784

Ever since they crossed that line last night, whether Wu Qiangwei admitted it or not, she really had gotten a taste for it.

When she was free and alone, she would sit in her chair and quietly recall the details of rolling in bed with Song Guanchao.

She’d say no with her mouth, not let him come, but Song Guanchao didn’t care about that at all; shameless as he was, he had to come over.

At first, Song Guanchao was worried her body might not be able to handle it. As his "development" went deeper and deeper, though, he let go of the desire in his heart and fooled around with her until deep into the night.

The next evening, Song Guanchao snuck over again.

The two weekend days passed in the blink of an eye in their shameless lovey-dovey entanglement.

During that time, Song Guanchao also got a call from Jiang Zhengdong; the Jiang Family had finally decided to get involved.

...

On Monday morning, Wu Qiangwei went to the City Committee to attend an emergency Standing Committee meeting.

The meeting was called for personnel appointments and removals.

First, Chang Hai voluntarily resigned.

Second, Secretary Bao announced that Director Huang of the Judicial Bureau, due to serious violations of discipline and law, would be expelled from the Party and dismissed from public office. The application had already been reported to the Provincial Committee and Provincial Government.

Third, Xiao Chenlei, former Executive Deputy District Chief of the High-tech Zone, would assume the post of Director of the Judicial Bureau.

Fourth, Wu Qiangwei recommended Mayor Fu of Dujiang City, Fu Ying, to serve as District Chief of the High-tech Zone.

All four personnel appointments and removals were passed unanimously.

...

On the other side, in the main conference room of the City Government, a discussion meeting was also being held.

The main topic of the meeting was the shutdown and restructuring of 22 pollution-related enterprises.

In addition to Song Guanchao, Zhou Xingjian, and Secretary Han, the heads of the relevant departments were all present.

Also present were the heads of each company, as well as Jiang Zhengdong, Tan Xiang, Lin Jingsheng, and Yang Gaolin.

The meeting was led from start to finish by Song Guanchao, and there were two key points.

First, the Jiang, Tan, and Lin families would jointly establish a new company, and the discussion was over the shareholding ratios among them.

Tan Xiang would put in 200 million, but would not participate in major decision-making authority of the company.

Jiang Zhengdong would put in 800 million, demanded decision-making power, and wanted three seats on the board of directors.

This was rejected by Lin Jingsheng.

Lin Jingsheng made it clear that at most he could only accept the Jiang Family putting in 300 million, and that the company’s board of directors would be fully allocated and managed by the Lin Family.

In other words, Tan Xiang and Jiang Zhengdong could only put up the money; how the company would be operated, managed, and developed in the future would have nothing to do with them.

Chairman Fang and the others attending the meeting, as well as the department heads, were all a bit shocked.

It was the first time they had seen someone push money away.

You had to know that just taking over these 22 pollution-related companies would require funds calculated in the tens of billions.

With someone voluntarily bringing money to ease the pressure, yet Lin Jingsheng was still pushing it away?

They knew the Lin Family was very strong.

But no matter how strong, it didn’t seem very likely they could pull out over ten billion all at once, right?

In the end, Jiang Zhengdong and Lin Jingsheng still reached a unified intention.

The Jiang Family would put in 500 million, take no board seats, not participate in company operations and major decisions, and retain the right to withdraw investment at any time.

With this most important matter settled, what remained was the reappointment issue for Chairman Fang and the 22 enterprise executives.

On this point, Song Guanchao had spoken with Lin Jingsheng; Lin hadn’t given a clear promise, only saying it could be discussed.

At the meeting, however, Lin Jingsheng told them bluntly that after the mergers and restructuring, they would serve as department heads.

As for the position of executive director, they could forget about it.

Chairman Fang and the others had more or less guessed this.

During the earlier negotiation between Lin Jingsheng and Jiang Zhengdong, when Lin refused to give up power, they had guessed that the Lin Family was using this opportunity to enter the chemical industry.

The Lin Family was going to reconfigure its business layout.

Since that was the case, the Lin Family naturally couldn’t let this group of outsiders hold important posts in companies under the Lin banner.

So, faced with the terms offered by Jiang Zhengdong, they agreed without much hesitation.

In any case, at least they still had an executive job.

Although the salary and benefits wouldn’t be as good as before, they could still maintain their previous standard of living and wouldn’t suffer a cliff-like drop.

Once the basic framework was set up, what remained were the specifics of the acquisitions.

This was a fairly complex project, requiring the Audit Bureau and lawyers to first audit each company...

Even if every department gave the green light throughout, the whole process would still take at least over a month to complete.

For these matters, Song Guanchao didn’t plan to personally keep an eye on them; he didn’t have the energy.

Besides, he wasn’t a professional. Even if you put a lot of things in front of him, he might not understand them.

He’d let professionals handle professional matters; he only told Zhou Xingjian to keep an eye on it, and that every step of the process had to leave a trace and a signature.

Whichever link went wrong, whichever department would be held responsible.

On this point, the way Song Guanchao put it was very harsh.

Everyone knew his style of doing things and how seriously he took this matter, so they didn’t dare to slack off.

"Meeting adjourned." Song Guanchao stood up.

Leaving the conference room, he glanced at the time; it was already past eleven, almost twelve.

On Wu Qiangwei’s side, her meeting should be over too, right?

As he was thinking about it, a call came in from Shu Xue.

"Director Song, Mayor Wu is asking you to come over."

"Got it."

Song Guanchao shoved his phone into his pocket and headed upstairs.

When he reached the office, he didn’t see any trace of Shu Xue.

She hasn’t come back yet?

Then why call me so early...

Song Guanchao was a bit speechless. Suddenly, he heard sounds from inside the office.

He paused, frowned, walked over, pushed the door open, and saw Wu Qiangwei making tea.

Back already?

"You’re here?" Wu Qiangwei sat down.

Song Guanchao walked over and asked, "How come I didn’t see Secretary Shu?"

"What, you miss her?"

"???" Song Guanchao said helplessly, "I came in and didn’t see her, so I thought you two weren’t back yet."

"She went to get food." Wu Qiangwei said, "All the personnel appointments and removals were approved at the meeting."

Song Guanchao said, "Things are going smoothly on my end too; the mergers and restructuring will take about a month."

They chatted for a while, then Shu Xue came back carrying the food.

After eating, Song Guanchao stayed in the office for a bit longer before leaving.

He had actually wanted to hug and kiss her here, but Wu Qiangwei saw right through him. Her eyes stayed fixed on him, unnerving him to the point that he didn’t dare act recklessly.

He could only wait until after work in the evening to go see her again.

Leaning back in his chair, Song Guanchao dialed Fu Ying’s number.

"Mayor Fu, congratulations," Song Guanchao said with a smile.

"I’ll head over this weekend." Fu Ying had already received a call from the Organization Department and gotten the new personnel appointment.

Song Guanchao said, "I’ll find you a place to stay first. Contact me when you come over this weekend."

Fu Ying said with a bright smile, "I think the place you’re living in is pretty nice. Just help me rent a unit there."

"..." Song Guanchao was speechless for a couple of seconds. Sensing the change in his tone, Fu Ying guessed that he might not want her living in the same compound as him.

Her words seemed to have put him in a difficult spot.

Fu Ying chuckled softly and said, "The compound you’re in sounds quite high-end; the rent must be expensive, right? Forget it, just rent a random place."

In his heart, Song Guanchao sighed; what a sharp-minded girl.

But being too sensitive wasn’t always a good thing.

Especially when it came to matters involving herself.

Like now: from his reaction, she had guessed what he was thinking, and her mood was affected, inevitably turning a bit downcast.

"I’ll rent you two places," Song Guanchao said. "One in my compound, and another in the High-tech Zone."
