Official Career Storm
Chapter 136

Chapter 136: Chapter 136

This matter was originally concluded.

Song Guanchao and Chu Xiao’e came forward. Under normal circumstances, it should have ended.

But, regrettably, Liu Jie’s grandfather died at this time.

Regardless of whether this had anything to do with Yan Dahai, now that the man was dead, Yan couldn’t shift the blame.

Yan Dahai was stupefied, cursing inwardly about the terrible timing.

Chu Xiao’e also hurried over, consoling, "Liu, don’t do anything rash. You go to the hospital first... Xiao He, take him to the hospital."

Liu Jie was too emotional right now. Sending him to the hospital alone, he might encounter some accident on the way.

"I’ll take him."

Song Guanchao said, "Director Liu, let’s go to the hospital."

On the way, Song Guanchao, looking at the tearful Liu Jie in the passenger seat, disheartened, said, "Director Liu, I’m sorry."

Truly, if one were to blame, it had to be him.

Had he not asked Director Liu to come over suddenly, he wouldn’t have missed seeing his grandfather one last time.

"It’s not your fault."

Liu Jie wiped his tears and grabbed his phone to notify his parents.

After informing them, he looked at his wife’s contact and suddenly hesitated.

His relationship with his wife wasn’t what it used to be, and her family was very unsatisfied with his grandfather’s visit.

But now that the old man had passed away, any dissatisfaction remained just that.

He contacted his wife and told her about the incident.

The car stopped in the hospital parking lot, and as Liu Jie was about to unbuckle his seatbelt to get out, Song Guanchao suddenly said, "Are you interested in the position of office director?"

Liu Jie was shocked and turned back, unable to believe his eyes.

Office director...

It was a role he hadn’t even dared to dream of.

He didn’t even have a regular administrative position now.

The office director was a senior role!

But looking at Song Guanchao’s expression and tone, it didn’t seem like he was teasing.

Besides, he had already hit Yan Dahai.

Now, they were in the same boat, he wouldn’t joke about this with him.

Suddenly, he remembered that his purpose in entering the City Committee was to climb upwards.

And the succession of events over the past two years, from Director Yan suppressing him to his wife’s family looking down on him, had subjected him to endless humiliation, constantly thinking about advancing further, to make those who once looked down on him, look up to him!

He nodded vigorously, "Interested!"

Song Guanchao said, "Wait till you come back, I’ll help you with the position adjustments. But, this is only the first step. The most important thing is to bring down Yan Dahai."

Liu Jie was smart, he knew Song Guanchao must have a plan.

And this plan might require his cooperation.

"Secretary Song, as long as I can do it, I won’t refuse!"

"You can do it, but emotionally, you might not accept it."

Emotionally can’t accept?

Liu Jie frowned, and after a few seconds, he gritted his teeth and said, "As long as it helps me climb higher, even if it means kneeling and kowtowing, I’m willing!"

"It won’t come to that." Song Guanchao laughed lightly, handed him a cigarette, and began discussing the plan.

After hearing his plan, Liu Jie pursed his lips tightly, eventually nodding, "Okay!"

...

The news of Liu Jie’s grandfather’s death spread throughout the City Committee.

He was just a regular guy, known by few outside of the General Affairs Office.

But this time, he became famous.

So did Yan Dahai.

Several leaders in the City Committee had heard about it.

Especially the fact that the two had fought in the office, which made them frown.

Yan Dahai found Secretary Sun to complain, and Secretary Sun, also showing an expression of being fed up, scolded him outright.

"Have you got water in your brain?"

"The man’s grandfather was critically ill, and you held up his leave request. What were you thinking?"

Secretary Sun truly wanted to kick this fat fool away.

Why on earth had they chosen such a blockhead in the first place.

In the system, many times it’s not about your ability, but you at least have to handle interpersonal relations well.

This fat pig, relying on his power to decide someone’s fate in administration, loves to make life difficult for others.

It works on the timid ones.

But even a rabbit will bite when cornered, let alone a person defending their grandfather.

To curse like that in front of someone, even a clay figure would be provoked into anger.

Secretary Sun was furious.

However angry he was, Yan Dahai was still his man.

"You go back first."

"Yes, I’ll go back first."

Yan Dahai didn’t dare say anything and left obediently, head bowed.

Secretary Sun went to Chu Xiao’e’s office: "Secretary Chu, what Director Yan did was too much!"

Chu Xiao’e glanced up; she knew they were in this together, and he was here to plead for him.

Chu Xiao’e gave him face and said, "It’s not a big issue. Besides, Liu has already hit him, and this happened at the City Committee. It wouldn’t look good if word got out. Have Director Yan apologize to Liu, and pay respects at the old man’s funeral. We are all colleagues; this isn’t a matter of life and death feud."

"Secretary Chu is right."

Secretary Sun smiled, knowing she wasn’t targeting Yan Dahai deliberately.

However,

the next day, something unexpected happened.

A group of City Committee leaders arrived at work early in the morning only to see a hearse parked downstairs.

On the hearse laid a coffin adorned with black and white photos.

Kneeling in front of the coffin, dressed in hemp and filial attire, was Liu Jie.

Liu Jie was kneeling at the coffin, handling a pile of documents placed in front of him.

Passing staff and leaders were stunned.

They even doubted if they had come to the wrong place.

"Who is that?"

"Why is there a hearse at the City Committee? Has he gone mad?"

Soon, a crowd gathered outside, and some people started taking photos and videos.

Liu Jie, unaffected, continued kneeling and handling official business.

Finally, someone recognized him.

"Brother Liu!"

Li Yiming ran up and said, "Brother Liu, what is this, what are you doing?"

With bloodshot eyes, Liu Jie looked at him and forced a smile, "It’s nothing, go to work; don’t worry about me."

Colleagues from the general affairs department also arrived one by one.

Seeing this scene, their first reaction was that Liu Jie was really going for Yan Dahai’s throat!

Bringing here the hearse and the coffin with a corpse inside.

Even if Yan Dahai had backers, he couldn’t withstand this sort of assault.

When Secretary Sun got out of the car, he saw a crowd blocking the entrance.

He frowned and walked in, thinking what’s going on; this is the City Committee, how could there be such a crowd gathered?

"Secretary Sun."

Seeing it was Secretary Sun, the crowd quickly made way.

When Secretary Sun saw the hearse and Liu Jie kneeling on the ground handling official work, his heart clenched tight.

A surge of nameless rage rose within him.

But he quickly suppressed it.

His face darkened, but he still forced himself to appear amiable.

He squatted down, his tone gentle, "Director Liu, what’s going on?"

Liu Jie forced a smile, "Secretary Sun, I came to work."

To work?

Go fuck yourself!

You’re clearly setting Yan Dahai on fire!

Secretary Sun was livid, nearly spitting out a mouthful of blood.

He never realized before, this unimpressive guy, when ruthless, could be so fierce.
