Official Career Storm
Chapter 379

Chapter 379: Chapter 379

"My point is, under what circumstances. Didn’t County Magistrate Hou know she was Secretary Tu’s girlfriend?"

"He knew, how could he not know? He knew, and that’s precisely why he wanted to bed her."

Director Qin said, "His girlfriend was a minor clerk at the street office at the time. He Kang had organized a dinner party and invited her. County Magistrate Hou wanted to seduce her so that later, whatever Secretary Tu did, he couldn’t hide it from County Magistrate Hou."

"It’s the guy beside the pillow, after all."

"Actually, this kind of thing is quite common, after all a minor clerk only has to take off her pants, spread her legs, and she could cozy up to a leader. Many people can’t even beg for such an opportunity."

"But who knew, his girlfriend was stubborn, wouldn’t listen to reason, and had no other way, so County Magistrate Hou drugged and raped her."

"Who would have thought that this girl had such a fiery spirit? When she woke up the next day and realized she had been violated, she left Secretary Tu a suicide note and jumped off a building."

Song Guanchao’s face darkened as he listened.

Suddenly, he felt that Secretary Tu’s revenge was justified.

"What was the name of the woman who jumped off the building? Which street in Dujiang County did she work on?"

"Why do you want to know?"

"Just curious."

"... ’Just curious,’ my ass, who would believe that bullshit."

But believe it or not, Song Guanchao was not going to tell him the truth.

Director Qin said, "Who remembers after so many years."

"You must remember which street she worked on? Of course, you can say you don’t remember, but I can also go ask County Magistrate Hou, I believe he definitely won’t forget."

Director Qin’s mouth twitched; he disliked being threatened.

"Wangqiao Road."

Song Guanchao noted down the location, threw his cigarette butt, and said, "Enjoy your meal, Director Qin. I’m going to head back to sleep."

Director Qin meant to ask what exactly he intended to do, hesitated, and then didn’t ask.

What he does is none of my business, since I never saw him today.

He picked up the leftover skewers and continued to eat.

Not to mention, the taste of this barbecue is really good.

Full and ready to leave, the waiter came over: "Sir, you still haven’t paid the bill."

"???" Director Qin was bewildered, instinctively looking towards the direction Song Guanchao left in.

Calling me to eat and then letting me foot the bill?

Are you fucking human?

What a beast!

...

Back home, Song Guanchao took a shower, leaned on the couch, and dialed the phone of Minister Cheng from the Dujiang County Organization Department.

This Minister Cheng was a living fossil of Dujiang County, directly ask him if you want to know anything.

However, he had previously spoken to Minister Cheng over drinks, and it seemed that the other party was not aware of the specific grievances between Secretary Tu and County Magistrate Hou.

"Hello, Minister Cheng, am I disturbing you?"

"Secretary Song, what’s the matter?"

"I want to inquire about something."

"Go ahead."

"About a decade ago, there was a clerk at the Wangqiao Road street office who committed suicide by jumping off a building. Does Minister Cheng remember anything about that?"

"You mean Hao Ting?"

Song Guanchao was a bit surprised; Minister Cheng really knew.

And even after so many years, he still remembered her name.

Minister Cheng sighed, "That young lady had a hard life, her parents died early from illness, and she and her younger sister depended on each other. She finally got into a university in the provincial city and was assigned to our county. Just when her good days were about to start, she ended up committing suicide by jumping off a building."

Song Guanchao asked, "Didn’t the police investigate?"

Minister Cheng was silent for a few seconds, then said, "They did, but it seemed to involve some people and nothing came of it."

Song Guanchao asked, "She had a younger sister? Didn’t her sister make a fuss?"

"At first, she did come to make trouble, but later it was Secretary Tu who stepped in to resolve it."

Minister Cheng said, "Rumor has it, Secretary Tu promised Hao Ting’s younger sister a job position. Although it’s all hearsay, Hao Ting’s younger sister indeed ended up working for the street office."

Song Guanchao asked, "What’s her sister’s name? Which department is she in now?"

"Hao Jiajia," Minister Cheng said, "Secretary Tu really took care of her. She went from a junior clerk to a director in just a few years, and later she entered the county committee’s inspection office. A few years ago, she suddenly resigned."

"She resigned?"

"Yes, it was said that she married a rich man and was pregnant, so she resigned and moved away to live elsewhere."

"Minister Cheng, could you get the files of Hao Ting and Hao Jiajia?"

"That’s not a problem; I have them on my computer. I’ll send them to you in a moment."

"Okay, thank you, Minister Cheng."

"Let’s dispense with the niceties. By the way, Secretary Song, did you hear about the fire at the Dujiang County factory a couple of days ago?"

"I did," Song Guanchao said. "This matter will be resolved soon."

After hanging up the phone, Minister Cheng quickly sent over the two files.

The files were detailed, from home addresses to the changes in their careers over the years.

In the photos, the sisters looked somewhat alike.

Hao Ting had a hint of heroism in her brow, while Hao Jiajia looked more gentle and graceful.

Both women had oval faces and large eyes, very beautiful.

He dialed Liang Jianfeng’s number.

"Mr. Liang, is it convenient to talk?"

"Yes, go ahead."

Seeing the call from him, Liang Jianfeng knew that Song Guanchao must be in need of his help again.

"I need to check on someone."

There was silence for a few seconds on the other end, then: "Who?"

Song Guanchao sighed with relief; he had indeed been afraid that Liang Jianfeng would block him with procedures.

At critical times, his future father-in-law was indeed helpful.

"I’ll send the file over to you shortly."

"Alright, anything else?"

"That’s all."

"Beep beep..."

Song Guanchao was accustomed to Mr. Liang’s style, shook his head, and put down his phone, waiting for a reply.

An hour later, Liang Jianfeng sent him a long string of messages, all about Hao Jiajia.

Liang Jianfeng had high-level access, so the information he could find was quite detailed.

The information showed that Hao Jiajia had gone to Hong Kong Island five years ago and stayed there for a week.

Over the next year, she traveled back and forth to Hong Kong Island five times.

Then, four years ago, Hao Jiajia went to Hong Kong Island again, this time staying there for over three months.

As a public servant and head of the county committee’s inspection office, she needed to report her travel plans in advance.

Moreover, at her level, personal passports needed to be surrendered.

After reading the information, something felt off to Song Guanchao, but he couldn’t pinpoint what it was.

He took out a cigarette and smoked half of it when he suddenly realized the issue.

Ordinary people going to Hong Kong Island could only stay for a maximum of seven days at a time.

But four years ago, Hao Jiajia had stayed in Hong Kong Island for over three months.

Strange, very strange.

However, Song Guanchao was not particularly knowledgeable about visa matters and wasn’t sure whether there was some kind of visa that allowed for extended stays in Hong Kong Island.

He searched online and discovered that there were only three types of visas, the longest of which, the talent visa, allowed a stay of up to one month.

Yet she had stayed for more than three months.

Song Guanchao thought of a possibility—immigration!

He immediately dialed Liang Jianfeng’s number: "Mr. Liang, can you help me check this Hao Jiajia to see if her nationality has been revoked?"

Liang Jianfeng responded indifferently, "It hasn’t been revoked, but she likely has a foreign green card."
