Chapter 323: Chapter 323

"Xiao Sun, come here for a moment."

Secretary Lu put down the handset of the desk phone.

Soon, Secretary Sun entered.

"Secretary Lu, you called for me?"

"Sit."

Secretary Sun sat down, and Secretary Lu pulled open a drawer, took out an envelope, and placed it in front of him.

"Take a look."

Secretary Sun opened the envelope, and the text on the letter was neatly arranged.

Date and content, clear.

He had only read the first line when his expression changed.

On April 7, he received a Patek Philippe watch as a gift from the marketing director of Zhicheng Company.

On May 22, he purchased an apartment in Haiyue Garden, and later, when the developer breached the contract, he received a compensation of 5 million yuan for the breach.

...

One item after another, line by line, Secretary Sun hadn’t finished reading when his body turned ice cold.

The hands holding the letter trembled violently, his face drained of all color.

The details of the bribes he had received over the years, his comings and goings in Yunhai Club, and even information about several mistresses outside, were all meticulously recorded.

This small piece of paper, seemingly as heavy as a thousand pounds, fell from his hands onto the desk.

He suddenly looked up, his gaze complex.

There was confusion and panic.

"Secretary Lu, this, this letter..."

"Xiao Sun, how have I taught you?"

Secretary Lu took out a cigarette, tossed one over, "Always remain calm in the face of significant events, don’t panic when you encounter problems. Once you panic, you’ll be in disarray, and when you’re in disarray, that’s when accidents happen."

Secretary Sun took a deep breath, picked up the cigarette, fumbled for his lighter, and shakily lit it.

After taking several strong drags, he nodded, "What you said is right, Secretary."

However, in his mind, he was wondering, how on earth did these materials end up in Secretary Lu’s hands?

Was it someone’s report?

But, who else knew so much about him?

If this letter got to the Disciplinary Committee...

No, nothing would happen if it got to the Disciplinary Committee, Director Qin had a good relationship with Secretary Wang, he wouldn’t be in trouble.

What he really feared was if this fell into the hands of Song Guanchao.

Then he would truly be living a fate worse than death.

Once his emotions settled, Secretary Lu said, "Tell me, who arranged for you to be by my side?"

Hearing this, Secretary Sun’s head shot up again, somewhat incredulous.

Had Secretary Lu been secretly investigating this?

Was he investigating me?

And had he been from the very start?

Did he know from the beginning that I was planted by his side?

It was as if Secretary Sun was seeing the seemingly harmless Secretary Lu for the first time.

"Secretary, I..."

"Xiao Sun, I’ve taught you a lot, and I hope you remember my teachings. Making a mistake isn’t the end of the world, everyone makes mistakes."

"But, not correcting your mistakes after making them is a serious problem."

"I hope you are someone who can acknowledge and rectify their errors."

A chill passed through Secretary Sun’s heart, extinguishing any last faint hope.

He knew that his response now would determine the fate of this letter.

Gritting his teeth, he said, "It was Director Qin."

"Director Qin, that’s more or less what I expected," Secretary Lu nodded in satisfaction. "Pick up the letter."

Secretary Sun picked up the letter.

"You can go now."

"Secretary..."

He couldn’t fathom Secretary Lu’s intentions.

Was this letting him off the hook?

"Haven’t I said it? To admit and rectify a mistake is still not too late."

Secretary Lu smiled amiably like an affable person, "Young man, a lack of experience isn’t a big deal. After all, you’re young and haven’t seen much money."

"But you need to be more restrained in the future, understand?"

Secretary Sun immediately stood up, "Understood, Secretary Lu, I will definitely heed your advice from now on!"

"Advice might be overstating it, but there are some things that I need to make clear to you."

"Please speak, Secretary Lu."

"For any moves Director Qin makes from now on, report to me."

"Write down everything he had arranged for you to do in the past and hand it over to me."

"Understood!"

"You can go now."

"Yes, Secretary, I’m leaving now."

Secretary Sun left the office, feeling a weight lift off his shoulders.

He never imagined he would face such a situation.

Even less did he expect Secretary Lu to be so cunning.

He had actually sent someone to secretly collect evidence of his violations and misconduct!

But why bring this up now?

Was Secretary Lu preparing to flex his muscles?

Over half an hour later, he handed over the tasks Director Qin had arranged for him over the years to Secretary Lu.

Secretary Lu leisurely browsed through them.

Most of these matters he was already aware of; he just couldn’t be bothered to expose them.

Director Qin’s little schemes, compared to his, were as clear as day.

In fact, he was not at all worried about Director Qin causing trouble.

In his eyes, Director Qin’s political career had been on a countdown ever since Director Zhang’s accidental death.

He just wasn’t aware of it himself.

And even less so, Secretary Sun.

Secretary Lu would not point this out to him.

This secretary was average in capability and character; he couldn’t truly commit to nurturing him wholeheartedly.

It was just that training a new secretary would take time, and since Secretary Sun had proven handy, he didn’t plan to replace him for the time being.

Suddenly, he noticed a piece of information.

"Director Qin told you to win over Song Guanchao?"

"Yes."

"Did you get any evidence?"

"No," Secretary Sun said with a bitter smile. "I was almost there, but he got scared off after rumors spread that he drove a Benz, so he returned the car."

"If it weren’t for that incident, Song Guanchao would have already been in bed with that woman, and I would have gotten a video of him."

Secretary Lu chuckled softly, "Xiao Sun, you’re a bit naive."

"Ah?" How am I naive?

Secretary Lu continued, "Do you really think that your little tricks are invisible to Song Guanchao?"

"After just a few meetings, you offered him a car. That’s not how you win someone over; your approach is too crude."

"You’ve seen Song Guanchao’s tactics over these few months, do you think he can’t see through your intentions?"

Secretary Sun felt a little indignant, "But he accepted the car!"

Secretary Lu said, "Taking the car doesn’t imply a problem. Besides, as you said yourself, the car was lent to him."

Secretary Sun said, "But if it wasn’t for this, he would definitely have slept with that woman from the club! I don’t believe he could resist!"

Secretary Lu asked, "And what if he had slept with her? Is Song Guanchao married? Is that woman married? Is there a law saying single men and women can’t sleep together?"

"This..." Secretary Sun was at a loss for words.

He hadn’t thought about these things.

"At the club, when there’s a chance, continue to arrange for him to have fun. Additionally, you can set up a few more women."

"The high-speed rail project, keep a close eye on that. Once the project is approved, you can arrange it, give a share to Song Guanchao."

Secretary Sun said, "After the approval, wouldn’t that be Mayor Zheng’s responsibility?"

Secretary Lu raised his eyes slightly, speaking indifferently, "The project is currently under your management, what does it have to do with Mayor Zheng?"

"Ah?" Secretary Sun’s heart skipped a beat. "Secretary means..."

Secretary Lu stated, "The meat that has reached your mouth has no reason to be spat out. The high-speed rail project, from now on, will be managed by the City Committee."
