Chapter 208: Chapter 208

When they arrived at the office, Director Qin was already waiting outside.

"Secretary, good morning."

Wu Qiangwei didn’t go in, but stood at the door looking at him.

Director Qin handed over the documents he was holding. "Secretary, there has been progress with the Hui Po Company case; please have a look."

Wu Qiangwei took them, flipped through a few pages, her eyebrows imperceptibly knitted but she soon smoothed her expression.

"Secretary, what do you think about this report?"

Wu Qiangwei handed back the report. "The public security aspect is under Mayor Zheng’s supervision, right?"

Director Qin was startled, then nodded. "Yes, Mayor Zheng is responsible for overseeing it."

"Then take it to Mayor Zheng to see, no need to come to me."

"Alright, alright..."

Director Qin was overjoyed inside; he knew for sure that Mr. He’s connections had made an impact.

This matter was settled!

"Secretary, then I’ll be leaving first."

"Take care."

After Director Qin left, Song Guanchao entered the office to clean.

He brought over a teacup and said, "Secretary, are we handing this case over to Mayor Zheng?"

He felt it actually wasn’t necessary.

Wu Qiangwei picked up the teacup and blew on the steam. "Do you know what he just showed me?"

"What?"

"The revenue invoices of Hui Po Company from the last few years."

"Are there any problems?"

"Yes, they are falsified."

Wu Qiangwei said, "Over four years of operation, the total profit is 47 million."

Song Guanchao nearly laughed.

He could understand falsifying accounts, and indeed it had to be done.

A profit of 47 million meant they only needed to spit out that much.

With this, the matter was also settled.

Wu Qiangwei said, "These are falsified accounts, Director Qin knows it, and he knows that I know it too. But if the case were under my guidance, I’d have to take responsibility if it were ever overturned in the future. Mayor Zheng wants this to finish quickly, right? Then let it be his responsibility."

"Secretary, that’s clever!"

Song Guanchao looked impressed and gave a thumbs up.

There was a problem with the closure of Hui Po Company’s case, because what was discovered were falsified accounts.

Nonetheless, due to the opposition having invited provincial leaders, the case could only be handled this way.

But this handling was problematic.

Even if Wu Qiangwei could report in advance to provincial leaders, it would still have some impact.

She didn’t want to handle this hot potato.

Her stance was clear: the case of Hui Po Company could be handled lightly, but it had nothing to do with her.

Of course, neither Director Qin nor Mayor Zheng might have considered this layer.

Even if they had considered it, they didn’t think it was an issue.

After all, in their view, the matter was already concluded.

"By the way, Secretary."

Song Guanchao said, "There’s something to report to you."

"Go ahead."

"Xu Xin might not actually be Mayor Zheng’s person."

"What do you mean?"

Song Guanchao sat down and went through the events of last night with her.

Wu Qiangwei said, "Don’t rush to conclude, let’s investigate clearly first."

"That’s what I thought."

Song Guanchao said, "I’ve already gone to check her records; I’ll try to find out more about her family situation later on. If it turns out to be true, then we don’t need to vacate the position of Secretary of the Municipal Committee."

"Okay, keep me updated. Anything else?"

"No, that’s all."

"You may leave."

Wu Qiangwei picked up a document on the side, but saw Song Guanchao still sitting there.

She looked up. "Is there something else?"

With a glance around the office and a seemingly casual tone, Song Guanchao said, "Secretary, you drank a bit too much last night."

Wu Qiangwei’s heart skipped a beat. "Hmm? And then?"

"Ahem, so, you drank too much last night and you threw up."

"Did I throw up?"

Song Guanchao carefully looked into her eyes to make sure she really didn’t remember, then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yes, you did, but I cleaned it all up."

"Oh, so, what are you trying to say?"

"Nothing much, just, just... last night you drank too much, and I helped you back to your room. Given the differences between men and women, I didn’t change your clothes or anything."

"Um, thank you."

"You’re welcome, it’s what I should do."

Song Guanchao stood up and said, "Secretary, I’ll head out now."

"Go ahead."

Watching the closed door, Wu Qiangwei suddenly felt a little uneasy.

She took out a cigarette from the drawer and lit it.

She had been focusing on work, but Song Guanchao had to bring up last night.

She knew what Song Guanchao wanted to ask, he wanted to confirm whether or not she had any memory of last night.

This bastard, usually looks smart, how could he be so stupid about this?

Doesn’t he know that even if she had remembered, she would have pretended that it never happened?

He really had to probe.

She had only smoked two puffs of the cigarette before she extinguished it with water and threw it in the trash can.

At 10 a.m., Chu Xiao’e’s secretary suddenly arrived.

"Secretary Song, Secretary Chu would like you to stop by."

"Okay."

Once he got to the office, Secretary Xu gently closed the door.

Just as Song Guanchao sat down, Chu Xiao’e handed him a document, "Xu Xin’s file."

Song Guanchao took it and immediately started reading.

He was seriously reading and Chu Xiao’e did not interrupt, she made a cup of tea and placed it in front of him.

The file was detailed, clearly recording everything from Xu Xin’s entry into the system to now becoming the Secretary of the Municipal Committee.

Xu Xin was registered in Lingjiang, which was clearly a later settlement.

Where it was before Lingjiang was transferred was not written in the file.

Song Guanchao put down the file and took a sip of tea.

"Is there a problem with Xu Xin?" Chu Xiao’e asked.

Song Guanchao shook his head and said, "She has some conflicts with the Mayor."

Chu Xiao’e, being astute, immediately grasped his idea, "You want to pull her to your camp?"

"Yes."

"Hehe."

Chu Xiao’e smiled slightly, "A woman’s mind is like a needle at the bottom of the sea, especially so if she’s the Mayor’s woman. Can you really trust someone like that?"

Song Guanchao said, "Let’s do some investigation first."

"She just became the Secretary of the Municipal Committee Office; it’s not realistic to replace her shortly. If we can directly use her, it would be more convenient."

"Just make sure you think it through yourself."

Chu Xiao’e was non-committal about his decision.

After finishing the tea, Song Guanchao stood up to leave.

Chu Xiao’e had wanted to ask him indirectly if he had time that evening, but ultimately she did not find a chance to speak up.

Song Guanchao didn’t return to his office; instead, he entered the hallway and dialed Chen Jie’s number.

The case with Hui Po Company seemed over, but Song Guanchao still needed to have a backup plan.

At this time, the role of Chen Jie, the Deputy Director of the Commerce Bureau, became apparent.

"Secretary Song, what can I do for you?"

Chen Jie’s tone was icy.

If possible, she didn’t want any dealings with Song Guanchao.

"Director Chen, do you have time to have lunch at noon? Let’s go out to eat."

"Heh, what are you treating me to this time? A food stall? Street food? Or hot pot?"

Song Guanchao ignored her mockery and said, "The same place as last time."

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Chen Jie annoyed him, and he equally annoyed Chen Jie.

Ma Legebi!

This woman’s salary doesn’t exceed his by thousands a month, yet her whole outfit is custom-made, her handbag is LV, and she wears Chanel on her feet.

Without checking, anyone could guess how much she must have embezzled.

What Song Guanchao couldn’t understand was, how dare someone who exploited power for money mock him for not being corrupt?
