Chapter 385: Chapter 385

"Yes."

Song Guanchao nodded, acknowledging it directly.

"Tell me, what should we do?"

"It’s simple," said Song Guanchao. "Initiate the project."

"Initiate the project?"

Mr. He was stunned. What kind of solution was that?

"If you trust me, Mr. He, go back to the city tomorrow and submit the survey report to the National Railway Bureau at the fastest speed and initiate the project."

"Initiate the project... and then what?"

He didn’t quite understand what medicine Song Guanchao was selling in his head.

Song Guanchao said, "After initiating the project, bring the Chief Engineer responsible for this high-speed rail section over. Take him to go through Dujiang County again."

Mr. He vaguely understood his meaning: "You want the Chief Engineer to be informed about the situation here?"

"Right."

"But even if the Chief Engineer knows, it’s useless. In the end, it still falls to the county government to solve."

Song Guanchao revealed a sly smile and asked, "Who funds the high-speed rail project?"

Mr. He said, "It depends on which section. For a section like that in Dujiang County, the main funding comes from the National Railway Bureau and the county finances."

"That’s right."

"How is that right?"

Mr. He was increasingly confused.

Song Guanchao deliberately teased, "Mr. He, just listen to me, initiate the project first, and once that’s done, bring the Chief Engineer here. I’ll tell you the final step of the plan then."

Mr. He said, "Alright, I’ll listen to you. I’ll apply for project initiation tomorrow."

After all, this matter was bound to be resolved.

The normal way to resolve it would be for the county government to mediate, bringing the land compensation to a level acceptable to both sides.

But Mr. He did not want that bastard Lu Xiaotian to benefit.

He didn’t know what Song Guanchao had in mind, but he had no other choice.

Even if Song Guanchao didn’t look for him, he would have to initiate the project in a few days regardless.

It was better to trust him this time.

"Come on, let’s drink."

...

The next day.

At breakfast, Secretary Sun even suggested they go for an inspection later.

Mr. He said directly, "The inspection is already complete, we’re heading back to the city afterward."

"Ah?" Secretary Sun was puzzled. "That’s the inspection done?"

"The only section where a high-speed rail can be built in Dujiang County is this one. There’s no need to waste time on further inspections."

Secretary Sun thought about it and felt it made sense.

"Mr. He, does that mean we should initiate the project now?"

"Hmm, I’ll apply when we get back."

Secretary Sun was overjoyed. They were finally going to initiate the project!

After initiating the project, the high-speed rail project would be under his charge!

After eating, they returned.

At ten in the morning, Secretary Sun arrived at the City Committee and reported to Secretary Lu.

Mr. He, on the other hand, contacted the Chief Engineer and submitted the survey report.

Initiating a project also takes time.

They needed to review the survey data, create drawings, apply for funding—many procedures were involved.

Additionally, the City Committee needed to cooperate, applying for funds from the city’s finances. This matter would also have to be discussed at the Standing Committee meeting.

Bringing it up for discussion meant that all parties needed to enter the fray and share this piece of the cake.

Secretary Lu was determined to snatch the high-speed rail project from Mayor Zheng’s hands.

For the time being, Mayor Zheng was still unaware of his wolfish ambitions.

Therefore, this was bound to be a game of strategy.

Song Guanchao’s plan had succeeded only halfway so far.

The other half would have to wait until the project was completely initiated before it could be implemented.

Song Guanchao also knew that this matter couldn’t be solved in an instant.

He completed the checkout procedures and crouched with Lu Feng in the parking lot, smoking.

"Squad leader, heading back next?"

"You go back by yourself. I still have some things to do."

Lu Feng’s eyes spun, and he chuckled mischievously.

Song Guanchao’s mouth twitched, too lazy to scold him.

After finishing a cigarette, Lu Feng patted his buttocks, "Then I’m off."

"Right, are Zhijun and the others still hanging around that Young Master Tian?"

"Yeah, let them stay for now; I’m counting on them to stir the waters."

"Alright, I’m leaving."

After Lu Feng left, Song Guanchao made a phone call to Fu Ying, then took a taxi to her place.

It was Saturday.

But Fu Ying was quite busy as she was serving as the director of the Housing and Construction Bureau, and nearly every weekend involved bidding for projects.

After a busy morning, Fu Ying had lunch with some developers, then immediately drove home.

Upon opening the door, she saw Song Guanchao, stark naked except for his underwear, doing push-ups on the living room floor, covered in sweat.

Song Guanchao stood up from the ground, took a breath, and asked, "You’re back?"

"Mhm."

Fu Ying glanced at the noticeable bulge in his underwear, her face slightly reddened, and whispered softly, "I’m going to take a shower."

Song Guanchao walked over to take her handbag and said, "I’ll wash up too."

He threw the handbag on the couch and teased purposefully, "Want me to help scrub your back?"

"No need."

Fu Ying turned and ran into the bathroom.

Song Guanchao followed her with a smirk.

Soon after, the sounds of Fu Ying’s pleasure-filled moans and the thuds of flesh on flesh echoed from the bathroom.

After the passion, Song Guanchao held her in bed and said, "I’m going back to my hometown tomorrow."

"Oh." Fu Ying didn’t think much of it, assuming he hadn’t been home in a long time and wanted to visit the old folks.

Song Guanchao didn’t explain much either; she obviously hadn’t heard about the city’s situation.

Since she hadn’t heard, he decided not to tell her to avoid causing her worry.

"Has the decision to upgrade the county to a city come through yet?"

"Not yet."

"It should be soon."

Just as he finished speaking, Fu Ying’s phone suddenly rang.

She picked it up, surprised, "A call from Secretary Tu."

She answered.

"Hello, Secretary Tu... Tonight? Alright, I understand."

After hanging up, Fu Ying said, "Secretary Tu invited me to dinner at his place tonight."

Song Guanchao smiled, "He must want to discuss your promotion to County Party Secretary."

"Mhm, I figured as much."

She and Secretary Tu rarely interacted, their encounters usually limited to polite smiles and greetings.

Privately, they had never been in touch.

At this time, an invitation to dinner could only mean one thing besides her promotion to County Party Secretary.

Suddenly, Song Guanchao’s phone also rang.

Seeing the caller, Song Guanchao was surprised—it was also Secretary Tu.

Fu Ying craned her neck to look, curiously asking, "Secretary Tu?"

"Yes." Song Guanchao answered, "Good day, Secretary Tu, alright, I’ll make arrangements for tomorrow night."

After the call, Fu Ying eagerly asked, "What did he want from you?"

"Guess, see if you can figure it out."

Song Guanchao, with hands on her perked-up buttocks, said, "If you guess right, you get a reward."

Fu Ying asked, "What reward?"

Song Guanchao extended a finger, suddenly stirred a bit, and said, "A kiss."

Fu Ying quivered at his stirring, her lips biting down and her breath quickening.

After a few seconds, she guessed, "About the succession for County Party Secretary?"

"You guessed right."

Song Guanchao was a bit surprised, then lifted her off him and said, "Alright, time for your reward."

With that, he leaned down and kissed Fu Ying’s neck.

His tongue trailed from her neck, downward, licking past her pert breasts, across her flat, taut belly, and towards that fragrant place bit by bit.

Fu Ying guessed where his promised "kiss" would be, and her heart raced.

She had never been this intimate with Song Guanchao before and was incredibly nervous.

"Guan Chao, no, don’t... Ah!"

The moment Song Guanchao buried his head between her thighs, stirring with his tongue, her body shook violently as if struck by lightning, trembling, and her moans of ecstasy eroded Song Guanchao’s bones like a scraping knife.
