Official Career Storm
Chapter 501

Chapter 501: Chapter 501

After hearing Song Guanchao’s explanation, Wu Qiangwei pondered for a moment, then lightly responded with a sound of acknowledgment, "You’ve done very well."

Although it carried a certain risk to act in the name of Governor Qu,

who was doing it and how it was done also mattered.

With Zhang Meilin doing it, there would be no problem.

Even if Qu Xiangru knew about it, she would at most keep it to herself and not say anything.

Besides, this kind of thing wouldn’t reach Qu Xiangru’s ears.

"Mr. Secretary, I have something I’d like to ask you about."

"What is it?"

"This Governor Qu, what’s her background?"

"Why the sudden interest?"

"She’s very young, quite curious."

"Aren’t you very good at investigating? If you’re curious, look into it yourself."

Seeing she could keep a secret, Song Guanchao didn’t ask any further.

He would look into it.

The Qu surname was not common; there weren’t many people at or above the provincial and ministerial levels. It really wouldn’t be hard to investigate.

After ending the call, he did some searching but became more confused the more he looked.

At least on the surface, he had checked thoroughly, but to no avail, there wasn’t a single influential figure with the surname Qu.

"What’s going on here?"

Song Guanchao thought for a long time, then had a notion.

Qu Xiangru didn’t come from a family of officials?

Growing up in a business family?

That was also possible.

Some businessmen reach the top, their power and influence no less than high-ranking officials.

But in his memory, there didn’t seem to be any top-tier businessmen in the country with the surname Qu, right?

Of course, they might exist, but such individuals are good at staying hidden and out of the public eye.

In such a case, it would be very hard for him to find anything, even if he were capable of it.

The old leader would certainly know, but it felt inappropriate to ask him.

Zeng Li?

This girl had connections everywhere; she should be able to find out too.

"Never mind, I’ll stop looking."

After a slight downcast moment, Song Guanchao headed out to join Secretary Sun for their next departmental inspection.

Time flew, and another week passed by.

On Friday, the Dujiang City Government website announced that the Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, Zhu Qing, would no longer retain her former position, having been transferred to serve as the Director of the Office of the CPPCC in Dujiang City.

The duties of the Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee would temporarily be assumed by the Deputy Secretary.

This news didn’t affect the general public much, or even attract their attention.

For ordinary people, the government was almost like living in a different world.

But within the officialdom of Dujiang City, it was like a bomb had been dropped, causing an uproar.

There were few who knew the specifics, and since Zhu Qing was their people, the exact reason for the transfer hadn’t spread.

For those who were unaware, speculations abounded; some said Secretary Zhu had offended someone, others suggested it was influenced by Hou Wen, with the higher-ups wanting to transfer in a new Secretary for the Political and Legal Committee.

But soon someone claimed that Zhu Qing had a shady relationship with Chen Guanyun; it was impossible that she offended anyone.

In any case, the theories were numerous, but the fact that Zhu Qing was demoted remained unchanged.

On Sunday, Song Guanchao received a call from He Songming.

"The city’s task has been completed. Tomorrow, we go to Dujiang City."

Song Guanchao immediately became spirited, "Mr. He, bring Mr. Jiang along too."

He Songming asked curiously, "What exactly are you planning to do, lad?"

"Heh, don’t ask, you’ll know once you get here tomorrow."

"You’re sure you can handle it?"

"One hundred percent certain!"

"No need to spend extra money?"

"Extra money? You must be joking. Government projects are transparent; there’s no way to spend more money even if I wanted to."

"Okay, we’ll be in touch tomorrow."

After the call, Song Guanchao immediately phoned Lu Feng, "Madman, give me Zhijun’s number."

"Is it action time?"

"Mm, the high-speed rail project team is coming over tomorrow, make sure to get everything arranged for them tonight."

"Okay, sending it to you now."

After receiving the number, Song Guanchao pulled out a rarely used phone and first sent a text to ask if the other party was available to talk now.

Once confirmed, he called directly, "Zhijun, it’s me."

"Mr. Song!"

"The high-speed rail project team is coming over for an inspection tomorrow morning, can you handle it on your end?"

"Absolutely, consider it done!"

"Good, remember, I want them to stir up as much trouble as they can, the bigger the scene, the better!"

"Got it, I understand!"

After giving his instructions, Song Guanchao still felt a bit uneasy, like something was missing.

Furrowing his brow, he finally realized what it was.

"Mr. Song, milk tea time!"

Wu Yun suddenly jogged over, handing him a cup of milk tea.

Today was the weekend, and Song Guanchao had specially accompanied Wu Yun to go shopping in Dujiang City.

Song Guanchao took it and glanced at it, asking, "Why is it all milk?"

Wu Yun’s face turned red with a smile, she punched him lightly on the shoulder, then looked around surreptitiously and whispered, "When we go to the movies later, I’ll let you touch a bit."

As she said this, she deliberately thrust her chest out.

Song Guanchao coughed lightly, pretending he hadn’t heard, "I’m going to make a phone call."

He called Fu Ying while walking toward the cinema with her.

"County Magistrate Fu, are you busy?"

"Not at the moment, what’s up?"

"Are you free tonight?"

"Not currently, are you asking me out?"

"I’d like to, but can’t."

"Do you have a date?"

"I don’t, but you do," Song Guanchao said. "Tonight, you and Brother Zhang need to visit Lu Xiaotian’s grandmother’s house, and remember to bring some nutritional supplements."

"Ah?"

"Don’t ’ah’ me, just make sure to clear your schedule."

After that call, he dialed another number, this time to Zhang Meilin.

"Brother Zhang, you alone?"

"Yeah, what is it?"

"Unless something unexpected happens, I might make a move on Lu Xiaotian tomorrow."

"Need me to do anything? Should we take control of Yao Jinsheng in advance?"

"No need," said Song Guanchao. "But I do need a favor from you. Tonight, you and Fu Ying are going to visit Lu Xiaotian’s grandmother as guests."

Zhang Meilin was curious, "Then what?"

"If nothing unexpected occurs, Lu Xiaotian is sure to attend this meal. You don’t have to say much, just show that you’re willing to take care of him."

"That’s easy."

After hanging up, they arrived at the cinema.

Wu Yun didn’t ask about his conversation with Fu Ying and Zhang Meilin. She got the tickets, and they walked into the cinema together.

Wu Yun had booked the movie tickets, and it wasn’t until they sat down that Song Guanchao realized she had picked two seats in the back row against the wall.

And, what’s more, the movie was a dud.

Even a madman could figure out what she was up to.

The movie started soon after, and the large cinema was sparsely filled with only a handful of people, all couples, seated apart from one another in tacit agreement.

The dim lighting left only the flickering images on the screen visible.

Wu Yun soon started misbehaving, her hand creeping up Song Guanchao’s thigh, tickling him.

Her hand wandered, finally reaching his crotch, her fingers playing the piano, lightly tapping Xiao Song through his trousers.

After a while, Song Guanchao’s pants were embarrassingly tented.

Wu Yun turned her head, a mischievous smile on her face, and leaned against his shoulder. She pulled down her cool sleeveless T-shirt, revealing a swath of white skin, "See, I promised you a feel."

Song Guanchao felt his desire rising at her actions and said, "You little siren, do you realize you’re playing with fire?"

Wu Yun tilted her face up unabashedly, "Yeah, I am playing with fire. What are you going to do about it? Eat me up?"

Song Guanchao stayed silent.

"Hmph, all lust and no guts," Wu Yun commented. She quickly looked around, lifted her rear from the seat, and leaned in to kiss Song Guanchao.

Before their lips touched, her tongue shot out first.
