Official Career Storm
Chapter 376

Chapter 376: Chapter 376

The bathroom was spacious, with a dry area and a wet area.

The washbasin was outside; inside was a large bathtub.

There was a wooden stand for clothes and a small round table for drinks and beverages next to the tub.

Hearing the door open, Song Guanchao turned his head and saw Liu Lan Zhi walking over.

Her white robe was loosely draped over her body.

The smooth curve beneath the slanting lapel let Song Guanchao know she had nothing on underneath.

Song Guanchao knew what was going to happen next.

When Liu Lan Zhi reached the bathtub, she saw Xiao Song underwater, already silently standing proud.

Her cheeks were slightly rosy beneath the steam.

She opened her robe, revealing a nearly perfect silhouette that crazily assaulted Song Guanchao’s field of view.

That night in the mountains, they had been wild all night, but due to the pitch darkness and harsh environment, he hadn’t had the chance to appreciate her beauty.

This time, he did.

The robe slid off her fragrant shoulders, falling to the ground.

What smooth shoulders!

She lifted her beautiful leg, tested the water temperature with her foot, slowly immersed herself, and then submerged her entire delicate body into the water.

She lay on top of Song Guanchao, her red lips meeting his as her eyes gently closed.

Song Guanchao wrapped his arms around her waist, caressed her back, and entwined her tongue with his.

In the warm water, their bodies slowly merged.

Half an hour later, they moved to the bedroom.

Liu Lan Zhi leaned her forearm against the wall, her waist collapsed and her buttocks raised, casting a sexy silhouette under the light.

Song Guanchao held her waist, sounding the horn for a vigorous charge.

At nine in the evening.

They lay in bed.

Liu Lan Zhi leaned into his arms and said, "The company is lacking a general manager in Dujiang County; the situation there is complex, and it requires a competent person to manage it."

It was a statement, but also an inquiry.

She was asking if Song Guanchao was willing to come and help her.

Since his political path had encountered obstacles, why not show his ability in business?

She extended an olive branch to Song Guanchao, indeed because of the relationship between the two.

But more so because she believed Song Guanchao had the capability and was up to the task.

"Slap!"

Song Guanchao slapped her buttocks, and without warning, Liu Lan Zhi gasped.

"I’m not interested in doing business. You just keep at it; New City Company has a promising future."

Liu Lan Zhi felt a bit dejected but knew he was a man of conviction, not one to change his mind about his political career just because of a few words from her.

She turned over, climbed on top, cupped Song Guanchao’s resolute face in her hands, and said, "I want more!"

She kissed him while he seized her buttocks and found Xiao Song, guiding her to sit down.

They didn’t sleep all night.

Early the next day.

When Liu Lan Zhi arrived at the company, Ning Lin couldn’t help but stare at her radiant, glowing complexion for a good while.

"What’s wrong?" Liu Lan Zhi touched her face. "Is there something on my face?"

Ning Lin shook her head: "It’s just that, Chairman Liu, you seem especially beautiful today."

"Really?" Liu Lan Zhi smiled.

They say a man is a woman’s best cosmetic. I used to think that was a bit far-fetched, but after experiencing it myself, I realized it’s true.

Despite being up and active until the early hours, Liu Lan Zhi woke up feeling incredibly refreshed.

...

Song Guanchao was still at Liu Lan Zhi’s villa.

She had built a gym on the basement level, fully equipped with professional gear.

Song Guanchao was working out, sweating profusely, clothes soaked through.

Grabbing his clothes, he took a quick shower and, when he came out, saw his phone vibrating non-stop.

He picked it up; it was a call from Liang Hao.

"Hello, Brother Liang..."

"I’ve been reported."

"Reported? What happened?"

A few minutes later, having learned the details, Song Guanchao said, "I understand."

After hanging up the phone, Song Guanchao sat on the stool.

He realized that this matter was aimed at him.

No, it was aimed at Wu Qiangwei!

Everything started from the fire that night.

Because of a disciplinary suggestion from the province, someone grabbed his weak spot and took the opportunity to hit him hard.

Then there was the reporting against Liang Hao.

He subconsciously reached into his pocket, only to remember he hadn’t brought his cigarettes.

He put on his shoes, left the villa, and sent a message to Liu Lanzi to tell her he had something to do.

Buying a pack of cigarettes from a roadside store, Song Guanchao squatted on the curb to smoke, analyzing his current situation and who all were involved in this matter.

The one who reported him, and the one who reported Liang Hao, should be the same person.

The other party’s purpose had become crystal clear, which was to take advantage of the chaos to take down Huayuan District.

Originally, Wu Qiangwei planned to use Huayuan District and Secretary Lu as bargaining chips for exchange.

But with her being disciplined, her brief cooperation with Secretary Lu came to nothing.

This also meant that Liang Hao didn’t have to hand over Huayuan District.

At first, he thought that being reported was simply an act of revenge.

Now it seemed that the real goal of the other party was Huayuan District.

As for who reported, Song Guanchao was quite curious, but that was not important.

What was important was that he had to do something.

If he did nothing, he might be able to continue as a secretary, but Huayuan District would definitely be lost.

Wu Qiangwei, to protect Liang Hao, would surely hand over Huayuan District.

Besides, there were quite a few people who wanted to take down Huayuan District.

So, it was also pointless to try to find out who the whistleblower was.

The other party intentionally muddied the waters to conceal themselves.

"The quota for Dujiang County, Huayuan District..."

If one viewed from an outsider’s perspective, Wu Qiangwei would appear to have been cornered with no power to fight back.

But in Song Guanchao’s eyes, this was not a checkmate!

After finishing a cigarette, Song Guanchao already had a plan to break the game.

Since some people wanted to ruin him and wrest control from Wu Qiangwei, then nobody should play any longer.

Song Guanchao’s strategy to break the game was very simple, three words: Flip the table!

Four words: Take out the linchpin!

"Not in the mood to deal with you and now you think you can manipulate me easily?"

He snorted coldly, dialed Liang Hao’s phone, arranged a meeting place, and hailed a taxi.

Twenty minutes later, the two met in a teahouse.

Liang Hao, like him, was also under investigation by the Disciplinary Committee.

But because there was no concrete evidence, he still worked as usual, only his reputation had taken a hit.

"Brother Song, do you know who’s scheming against you behind the scenes?"

Song Guanchao shook his head, directly bypassing the topic, and said, "Keep holding on to Huayuan District, no matter who talks to you, just ignore them. I’ll deal with the reporting."

Liang Hao gave a wry smile, "What if Secretary Wu talks to me about it?"

Song Guanchao remained silent for two seconds and then said, "If she looks for you, just stall for time. This matter will be resolved in a few days."

Liang Hao asked in surprise, "You have a solution?"

"Yes."

"All right, I trust you."

...

Leaving the teahouse, Song Guanchao called Zhang Meilin.

"Secretary Zhang, does Minister Zhou have time tonight?"

"I’ll ask for you."

"Thanks, Secretary Zhang."

A few minutes later, Secretary Zhang called back, "Minister Zhou has time tonight."

"Please help me set up a meeting..."

"No need to go out, Minister Zhou wants you to come to his house for dinner tonight."

Song Guanchao was astounded.

He was currently under investigation, and a disciplinary action could come down at any time.

In such a situation, Minister Zhou was actually willing to invite him to his home for dinner?

"Okay, please thank Minister Zhou for me."
