Official Career Storm

Chapter 14: Chapter 14

Wu Yun’s pretty face turned icy, "Guan Chao, if you don’t want to eat, don’t force yourself!"

Guan Chao replied, bewildered, "I’m not forcing myself."

"Then why are you pulling such a long face? I’ve been talking to you, and you’ve just been humoring me the whole time!"

"..." Guan Chao explained, "I was just lost in thought."

"Hmph! Excuses! You’re obviously doing this on purpose because of what happened last night!"

"That’s not true," Guan Chao said with a wry smile, "Fu Hai was taken in by the Disciplinary Committee, and I was lost in thought about what I should do in the future."

Wu Yun’s eyes softened, "Really?"

"Really," Guan Chao sighed, "I’m just a driver who’s been driving for half a month, and my immediate boss was taken in. Who would want to employ me now?"

"Forget it, let’s not think about those things."

Guan Chao took her hand and sat down again, saying, "It’s my honor to be invited to dinner by such a beautiful lady like you, and it was wrong of me to neglect you. I apologize, I’m sorry!"

His words seemed a bit flirtatious, and only then did Wu Yun realize that he was still holding her hand.

This was the first time she had held hands with a man she barely knew, and her pretty face couldn’t help but flush.

She pulled her hand away, pouting, "I accept your apology."

Guan Chao grinned, "A gorgeous woman like you must have a broad mind. You have such a great personality; there must be a lot of guys chasing after you, right?"

"Not that many," Wu Yun replied, twirling a lock of her hair, her demeanor somewhat shy.

Seeing her shy demeanor, Guan Chao deliberately raised his hand and sniffed it.

Embarrassed and annoyed, Wu Yun asked, "What are you doing?"

Guan Chao chuckled, "Smells good."

"You, you... rascal!" Wu Yun’s face turned red as a sunset.

She had never been teased by a man like this before!

Yet, she didn’t feel annoyed at all.

She couldn’t help but reassess this man, suddenly noticing that he was tall and handsome,

with wheatish skin that exuded masculinity.

Her previous suitors or matchmade dates were either effeminate pretty boys or self-proclaimed elite sleazy men.

Guan Chao was nothing like those men.

"Hey, Guan Chao, what kind of soldier were you in the army?" she suddenly became very curious about this man.

Guan Chao casually said, "I raised pigs."

"Pfft~"

"Really?"

"Fake."

"Then what kind of soldier were you?"

"A cook."

"Really?"

"That’s also fake."

"Guan Chao!" Wu Yun fumed, "Can you stop joking around? I’ll get mad if you keep this up!"

Guan Chao laughed, "Just an ordinary soldier."

"Really?"

"Guess."

"You..." Wu Yun was both annoyed and could tell he didn’t want to divulge.

So, she changed the subject, "Then why did you leave the army?"

Guan Chao pondered for a few seconds, then suddenly put a piece of rib on her plate, "Let’s not ask so many questions. Eat up, you’re so skinny, you’ve lost your breasts, eat more."

"You’re the one without breasts! I wear a C cup!" she retorted indignantly, puffing out her chest.

Guan Chao stretched his neck and widened his eyes, "Quite impressive indeed."

"Rascal!"

Wu Yun turned away, her face flushing as she spat out the word.

Later, she tried indirectly asking about Guan Chao’s military service, but no matter how she asked, Guan Chao avoided the topic.

Her feminine intuition told her that this man had a story.

After interacting with him, she became even more interested in Guan Chao.

She found this man to be extraordinary.

Unlike those men who brag about themselves upon first meeting, he didn’t say much about himself.

Moreover, he was humorous and occasionally took small advantages of her, but it wasn’t off-putting.

On the contrary, she somewhat enjoyed it.

After the meal, when they were about to part ways, she felt a bit reluctant.

Guan Chao stood in the parking lot and said, "Be careful on the way home, and let me know when you arrive."

Wu Yun curled her lips, "Why should I tell you?"

"You definitely should tell me, after all, it’s late at night and I’m worried. Besides, aren’t we friends?"

"Mhm."

Wu Yun softly responded, "Then you should also let me know when you get home."

Song Guanchao chuckled, "What would I tell you?"

"Didn’t you just say we’re friends!"

"Uh... alright, I’ll let you know when I get home, and we’ll see who gets there first."

"Mhm, I’m leaving now."

Just as Wu Yun was about to turn around, Song Guanchao suddenly said, "Wait a second."

"What’s wrong..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Song Guanchao suddenly reached out to touch her head.

His affectionate gesture made Wu Yun’s heart race.

"There’s some lint in your hair."

Song Guanchao flicked the lint off her hair and said, "Let’s go."

"Mhm." Wu Yun’s cheeks turned crimson, and she got into the car somewhat flusteredly.

After getting into the car, she realized her breathing was also somewhat erratic.

...

On the way home, Song Guanchao received a message from Wu Yun.

She got home already?

It seemed she must live near the city center.

Geez, this girl’s family background isn’t ordinary at all.

Half an hour later, Song Guanchao also got home and sent her a message before taking a shower.

After showering, he brought all the evidence from the motorcycle back into the house.

He had already looked through Li Fuhai’s evidence.

He took out the evidence organized by Zhang Yue and examined it one by one.

Zhang Yue’s evidence was primarily financial.

During her years as a bank president, she helped some enterprises issue loans in violation of regulations, accepted kickbacks, and committed embezzlement and bribery...

Even helping some officials transfer assets.

The involved officials were all recorded by her, with corresponding evidence present.

After organizing the evidence, he kept some that he needed and put the rest back in the car.

He put the evidence he kept into an envelope, ready to meet the new Secretary Wu tomorrow to present his proof!

Whether he could connect with Secretary Wu, success or failure hinged on this moment!

If successful, then the future situation would be clear.

If not, there would not be another chance for a long time.

This decision wasn’t made blindly.

Rather, it was the optimal solution after meticulous thought.

Liang Hao had sent Li Fuhai’s crime evidence to the Provincial Disciplinary Inspection Committee, which should have taken the lead in implementing double regulations on Li Fuhai today.

However, Wu Yun told him that it was this newly appointed Secretary Wu who brought the evidence.

That is to say, the Provincial Disciplinary Inspection Committee received the evidence but did not act, and instead handed the evidence over to Secretary Wu.

From this, it was evident that Secretary Wu had support from the province behind him.

And the province doing this clearly aimed to enhance Secretary Wu’s prestige in the short term.

This move had a purpose akin to killing a chicken to scare the monkeys.

It also intended to stir up the political scene in Lingjiang City.

From this, it was also evident that the political scene in Lingjiang City indeed had issues.

With Secretary Wu’s transfer to this position, he was undoubtedly here to rectify Lingjiang City, or even to purge!

But, as a parachuted leader, no matter what she wanted to do, she needed her own reliable people.

Secretaries, drivers.

These are indispensable confidants for a leader.

For a parachuted leader like Secretary Wu, confidants must have a clean personal record and no political entanglements locally.

Song Guanchao, with connections in the military and a clean background.

He had been in the municipal government for less than a month, and Li Fuhai had also used him as a scapegoat.

Speaking of a clean personal record, no one was cleaner than him.

He was undoubtedly the most suitable candidate!

No one was more suitable than him!
