Official Career Storm
Chapter 179

Chapter 179: Chapter 179

Liu Lanzi was a very smart woman.

She knew what Wu Qiangwei, who had just taken office, needed most.

She had to stimulate the economy quickly, needed to increase employment rates, needed a beautiful political achievement!

She could fulfill all of these.

What she needed in return was to build a mutually trusting relationship with Wu Qiangwei.

This indirectly revealed that New City Company didn’t seem to have very good connections within the government.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t be thinking about connecting with Wu Qiangwei.

As for Secretary Sun...

Although they appeared to have a good relationship, Liu Lanzi, a mere woman, had grown her company to its current size; she was certainly not a fool.

She knew Secretary Sun was interested in her.

But she clearly was very repulsed by this.

That’s why she was looking to make contact with her, seeking out another government connection.

What she wanted was a pure, healthy political and business relationship.

This was something Secretary Sun couldn’t give her.

However, all these were Song Guanchao’s speculations.

Whether or not to establish a relationship with Chairman Liu depended on whether she was a person who got real work done.

"Alright, then I’ll have to trouble Chairman Liu," Song Guanchao replied with a smile.

He planned to spend some time getting to know the company properly.

Chairman Liu smiled charmingly, finished smoking a cigarette, chatted with him for a few more words, and then headed to a nearby Mercedes-Benz business van, accompanied by her assistant Ning Lin.

Song Guanchao called for a designated driver service to drive his car back.

After paying, he didn’t go home.

Sitting in the car, he dialed Liang Jianfeng’s number.

Liang Jianfeng was quite surprised to suddenly receive a call from Song Guanchao.

Since the last case was closed, they had had no contact.

He knew Song Guanchao well; he never called without good reason, and if he called, there was definitely something important.

"Secretary Song."

"Director Liang, have you finished work?"

"Something the matter?"

"I have something I would like to ask Director Liang."

"Have you been drinking, Secretary Song?"

"Can you tell?"

"Uh-huh," Liang Jianfeng asked, "Where are you now, Secretary Song?"

"At home."

"Send me your address, I’m coming over now."

"Okay."

About twenty minutes later, Liang Jianfeng arrived.

As soon as he parked, he saw Song Guanchao standing outside the apartment building.

"Director Liang, this way."

He led Liang Jianfeng into the house and was about to say something when he noticed Liang Jianfeng was observing the living room.

Liang Jianfeng’s gaze fell on the sofa.

There, lay a pair of ladies’ underwear, black in color.

Song Guanchao immediately felt a bit awkward and belatedly realized that Liang Jianfeng’s offer to come over seemed intentional.

He knew that Liang Jiajia and he were living together...

Song Guanchao suddenly felt the embarrassment of spiriting away someone’s daughter without the parent’s consent, like he’d been caught red-handed by his future father-in-law.

"Cough cough."

"Would you like something to drink, Director Liang?"

"Water," said Liang Jianfeng, a man of few words.

He walked over to the dining table, pulled out a chair, and sat down.

Song Guanchao took a bottle of beverage from the fridge: "I haven’t had the chance to boil water yet."

Liang Jianfeng frowned at the beverage and said, "Young people should drink less soda; it’s not good for your health."

"What Director Liang said is right."

"Do you normally eat at home?"

"Not really."

"Takeout?" Liang Jianfeng looked at the takeaway boxes on the table that hadn’t been thrown away yet, his frown deepening, "Making your own is cleaner."

"You’re right, Director Liang, I’ll try to eat at home more often."

He knew Liang Jianfeng was reminding him indirectly to take better care of Liang Jiajia.

It didn’t matter if he ate junk food, but he couldn’t let his daughter do the same.

Obviously, Liang Jianfeng was a bit dissatisfied with him, thinking his daughter wasn’t being well cared for here.

Song Guanchao felt even more guilty.

Luckily, he didn’t ask anything else.

"What did you need to see me for, Secretary Song?"

Song Guanchao quickly filled him in on the parking space issue.

Liang Jianfeng’s eyebrows knitted tighter, "Are you sure you want to investigate this?"

"I’ve already started the investigation, and if nothing goes wrong, it should blow up in the next couple of days."

Song Guanchao asked, "Does Director Liang have any suggestions?"

From his reaction, he must know something about the ins and outs,

Like who is really behind Hui Po Company.

Liang Jianfeng spoke directly, "If you’re going to touch Hui Po, be prepared to fall out with Director Qin."

Song Guanchao asked, "Is Director Qin behind this company?"

Liang Jianfeng said, "I’m not clear on the specifics, but something like privatizing sidewalk parking spaces can’t happen without the tacit approval of the city bureau. I can only say that Director Qin definitely has a share in it."

"Moreover, companies like Hui Po aren’t the only ones in Lingjiang."

"If you go after Hui Po, it means you’re bringing the issue into the open."

"Other districts’ parking companies may be backed by the transportation bureau or the urban management department. The implications are broad and deep."

"My suggestion is, if you’re going to act, use Hui Po Company to set an example but don’t pull up the radishes to bring out the dirt."

Song Guanchao nodded, "I understand."

Then, he also discussed the issues of the standardized signage and the extortion from the fire department.

Liang Jianfeng looked at him with a curious gaze.

He suddenly realized that Secretary Song had more courage than usual.

These few things he was doing seemed ordinary and were even matters most people wouldn’t care about.

But Liang Jianfeng knew better than anyone how much these issues affected people’s livelihoods.

He quickly realized that Secretary Wu was aiming to clean up Lingjiang’s business environment.

Liang Jianfeng asked, "Did you propose these things to Secretary Wu?"

Song Guanchao was about to say that these were Secretary Wu’s insights.

But once he met Liang Jianfeng’s gaze again, he suddenly understood that Liang Jianfeng was asking him this question as Liang Jiajia’s father.

Is he evaluating me?

Guessing as much, Song Guanchao nodded, "Yes."

"Not bad." Liang Jianfeng’s gaze held a bit more admiration, quite satisfied.

This look made Song Guanchao feel even more uneasy.

"Extortion is everywhere, you can’t completely eradicate it, so don’t think about solving it completely. Even Secretary Wu’s drastic reforms will only be temporary."

"Of course, I’m not saying that trying to resolve this issue is a waste of effort."

"As for the standardized signage, that’s easier to solve. Ultimately, the issue is mainly with the leaders in charge. It’s simple to deal with."

"I suggest you start by resolving the parking space issue..."

Liang Jianfeng gave a lot of advice; despite being a policeman, he had been a leader for so many years.

Moreover, policemen work directly on the front line; they’ve seen a lot of injustice and know the problems that exist in Lingjiang.

Liang Jianfeng had considered many solutions, but he was, after all, just the deputy director of the police bureau and couldn’t directly manage.

He shared his ideas, gathered over many years, with Song Guanchao, benefiting him immensely.

The two were deep in conversation when the sound of the front door opening was heard.

Song Guanchao immediately snapped out of his absorbed state, feeling a bit nervous.

Liang Jiajia was back!

Song Guanchao felt the uneasiness of a daughter-in-law meeting her in-laws for the first time.

"Dad, what are you doing here?"

Liang Jiajia, upon entering and seeing Liang Jianfeng, also stood still in surprise.

Beyond surprise, there was a sense of panic, with a shy and evasive gaze, hesitant to meet his eyes.
