Official Career Storm
Chapter 37

Chapter 37: Chapter 37

To be honest, Song Guanchao did not like office politics.

Firstly, his rank was too low, and quarreling with a young girl was beneath him.

Secondly, he preferred a more harmonious atmosphere.

After all, they were colleagues, seeing each other all the time; there was no need to become too hostile.

He had no issues with Tian Xue, but now, she had obviously misunderstood him.

Well, that made things tricky.

Song Guanchao did not go to explain, nor did he feel like explaining.

He disliked dealing with fools because it was exhausting.

If there were a misunderstanding, then so be it.

It would be just fine to make some room for himself.

Buzz~

Wu Yun sent a message: "Big hero, you’re trending!"

"?"

Song Guanchao was baffled.

Wu Yun sent over a link, which redirected him to the short video APP upon clicking.

The content of the video was of him capturing Fu Cheng at the restaurant the night before.

He threw a knife with precision at Fu Cheng’s wrist and quickly moved to slam him to the ground.

The entire operation, taking less than five seconds, took care of the armed Fu Cheng.

This video was clearly captured from the restaurant’s surveillance.

He checked the number of likes, and it was astonishingly over two million!

Currently, it was number one on the trending list of short videos!

Song Guanchao furrowed his brows, but soon, his expression relaxed.

For public officials, the most feared thing was being featured in the news.

Staying low-profile was an eternal principle within the system.

But this time, it was positive exposure.

Moreover, now that it was done, even if he did not want fame, he had no choice.

As he scrolled through the comments, the corners of Song Guanchao’s mouth slightly curled upwards.

All the comments were praising him.

Some praised his agility, others his good looks, and there were even fangirls who wanted to marry him.

Wu Yun: "Was that a real gun in his hand?"

"Yes."

"But why did that person point a gun at you?"

"That’s a long story."

"Tell me slowly, I want to know."

"I’ll come to you at lunch, and we’ll talk over a meal."

"Okay."

"People are here, I’ll stop for now, I’ll come find you at lunch."

Song Guanchao put down his phone and looked up at Director Liu walking towards him.

"Brother Song, I had absolutely no idea about last night’s events!"

Director Liu immediately started explaining.

This morning, the director had informed everyone that Chief Zhang had been fired and transferred to the police.

The staff of the General Affairs department were stunned and pressed for details after hearing about the previous night’s events.

When they learned that Chief Zhang and Fu Cheng had colluded with the traffic police to frame the leaders of the Armed Police Department and a deputy director from a neighboring city, as well as Song Guanchao, they were dumbfounded.

Chief Zhang had guts with no bounds!

What shocked them even more was that Song Guanchao had resolved the situation!

He had sent Chief Zhang and the other two straight to jail!

Rumor had it that these three faced at least ten years in prison.

Originally, the people in the General Affairs department were quite hostile towards Song Guanchao, but after hearing about this, they all secretly decided not to provoke Song Guanchao.

This guy was really ruthless!

Director Liu also came at the first opportunity to explain himself to Song Guanchao, frightened of incurring his wrath.

Although he was just a driver, he had connections in the Armed Police Department!

Such a person was not someone a mere director like himself should provoke.

Song Guanchao raised his eyebrow, recognizing that Director Liu indeed was a smart man.

"Hmm." Song Guanchao nodded and asked, "Does this Chief Zhang still have connections in the City Committee?"

Director Liu’s heart chilled.

Was Song Guanchao thinking of getting rid of him root and branch?

He shook his head and said, "I’m not close with Chief Zhang, so I really wouldn’t know."

"Then let it be."

Song Guanchao didn’t continue to press the matter.

Even if Chief Zhang still had connections at the City Committee, he wasn’t intimidated.

Anyone who wasn’t a fool, after seeing what he was capable of, wouldn’t dare provoke him again.

"Secretary Tian," a middle-aged man approached at some point.

Director Liu turned around and immediately said respectfully, "Secretary Wang!"

"Uh-huh." Secretary Wang looked at Tian Xue, "Is Secretary Wu here?"

"Yes, Secretary Wang, please come in."

This was the Secretary of the City Disciplinary Inspection Committee, Wang Pinyan.

Tian Xue knocked on the door, pushed it open, and accompanied Wang Pinyan into the office.

After whispering a few more words to Song Guanchao, Director Liu quickly left.

When Tian Xue came out, she didn’t even glance at Song Guanchao but took out her phone and chatted with Director Liu.

"Brother Liu, what did you mean by what you just said to Song Guanchao?"

She was curious about their conversation, but due to pride, she didn’t want to ask Song Guanchao directly.

Director Liu: "Chief Zhang was put in jail!"

"What? Why? It couldn’t be... Song Guanchao’s doing, could it?"

"Mhm."

From Director Liu, Tian Xue learned the whole story.

She suddenly felt that Song Guanchao was terrifying.

Just because Chief Zhang badmouthed Secretary Wu at the dinner table, he not only beat him up but also sent him to jail.

Such tactics, so insidious, so dirty!

Even though she knew that Chief Zhang was the one who framed him first, she chose to ignore that.

Now she disliked Song Guanchao; even if he was in the right, she felt it was Song Guanchao’s fault.

Half an hour later, Wu Qiangwei saw Secretary Wang out.

"You’re busy first, Secretary Wu," said Secretary Wang cheerfully as he left.

Once he was far away, Wu Qiangwei said, "Xiao Song, come in."

Song Guanchao walked into the office and Wu Qiangwei pointed at the documents on the desk, "Deliver these to the City Government, the City People’s Congress Office..."

Song Guanchao was a bit surprised; Wu Qiangwei was mentioning all municipal-level offices, highlighting the importance of these documents.

Normally, such documents would be delivered by Tian Xue, the secretary.

But now, they had him, a driver, delivering them.

This subtle shift, he understood all too well what it signified!

He grunted a confirmation, grabbed the papers, and turned to leave.

"Wait a second."

"Do you have any other instructions, Secretary Wu?"

"What was the situation last night?"

Last night?

Song Guanchao quickly realized what she was asking about.

He didn’t hide anything and detailed everything that happened the night before.

After listening, Wu Qiangwei asked, "Chief Zhang from the General Office?"

"Yes."

"Do you have any personal grudge with him?"

"Uh... a personal grudge."

"Spit it out." Wu Qiangwei naturally knew about the friction between the two, but she wanted to hear it again from Song Guanchao.

Song Guanchao was mildly annoyed; he had never been one to seek credit for his actions.

Especially in such a situation, to speak of it was actually quite embarrassing.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he said, "A couple of days ago, Director Liu from the General Office invited me and Tian Xue to dinner. At the table, Chief Zhang told a dirty joke about you, and I couldn’t hold back and gave him a beating."

"He told a dirty joke about me?"

"Yes."

"What did he say?"

"Huh?" Song Guanchao was taken aback, did she really want to know such details?

"It was...," Song Guanchao reluctantly said, "He commented that you seem prim and proper but must be a slut in bed, that having sex with you because of your big butt must be really satisfying!"

Wu Qiangwei’s face immediately turned red, a flash of embarrassment and anger in her eyes, pointing to the door she said, "Get out!"

Song Guanchao spread his hands, "I didn’t say it, it was Chief Zhang."

"Get out!"

"Alright, I’m going!"
