Official Career Storm
Chapter 507

Chapter 507: Chapter 507

Secretary Sun had been closely following the progress of the high-speed rail project.

Because he knew just how big a background Young Master Tian had, and how troublesome he was to deal with.

In Dujiang City, it was like the sky was high and the emperor was far away; even Lingjiang would have difficulty managing it.

To successfully acquire a piece of land in Dujiang City without spending a significant price was impossible.

Seeing that it was nearly noon, Secretary Sun called the acting head of the Housing and Construction Bureau.

He learned of the incident that had occurred at the factory that morning.

Song Guanchao and his group had been cornered by Lu Xiaotian’s men in the factory, calling out to heaven without response and to earth without any help, utterly embarrassed.

Secretary Sun felt elated inside, thinking to himself, look at you now, young fellow.

Seeing him smile as if blooming like a flower, Li Jun asked, "What’s making you so happy?"

Secretary Sun glanced at Wu Yun at his side and then walked a few steps forward before sharing the joyful news with him.

Li Jun indeed knew about Lu Xiaotian, but since he hadn’t come to Dujiang City last time, he hadn’t expected Lu Xiaotian to be so rampant.

"This won’t be easy for Secretary Song to handle."

Secretary Sun, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, said leisurely, "Zhang Meilin can’t control the situation in Dujiang anymore, even if Secretary Song wants to seek his help, it won’t work. Chen Guanyun is clearly on Lu Xiaotian’s side; without bleeding a lot, the high-speed rail won’t get built."

He glanced at Li Jun, "Secretary Li, this could be your chance."

Li Jun raised an eyebrow, "What’s that got to do with me?"

Secretary Sun said, "The high-speed rail project is, after all, something Mayor Zheng applied for. If the project cannot be advanced for a long time, Mayor Zheng will have a pretext to make it difficult. By then, perhaps the project could be pulled back in and handed over to you."

"Don’t you think it’s your opportunity?"

Li Jun remained silent, not expressing his opinion.

...

Young Master Tian arrived at the City Committee Building and rushed toward the building as soon as he got out of the car.

A young security guard saw this and hurriedly stopped him, "Hello, who are you looking for? Do you have an appointment?"

"An appointment with your mother’s fucking approval!"

Young Master Tian kicked the security guard in the stomach, leaving him utterly shocked.

This was the City Committee Building; how could someone dare to get violent here?

"You can’t leave!" He was still on the ground but shouted loudly.

"Shit!" Young Master Tian, already furious, saw a lousy security guard trying to block him and rushed up to hit him.

An older security guard quickly intervened, saying to Young Master Tian, "Young Master Tian, Liu is new here, please don’t take it the wrong way with him."

"Stupid fucker!"

Young Master Tian, rushed by urgent matters, cursed and headed straight upstairs.

After he left, the security guard said to Liu, "That was Lu Xiaotian, remember him. Next time he comes, don’t you dare stop him."

Liu, feeling aggrieved, retorted, "Whoever he is, he shouldn’t get physical! This is the City Committee and I am a security guard; I must ensure the City Committee’s safety! Shouldn’t he at least register?"

The security guard shook his head, "These people aren’t on the same level as us; they have authority and power behind them. As for us, getting rid of us is no different from crushing an ant. Besides, for a few thousand bucks a month, don’t risk your neck for it."

Liu felt even more wronged.

At this moment, He Cunhao came inside, saw Liu getting up from the ground, and noticed the shoe print on his stomach. He walked over and asked, "What happened?"

Liu wanted to speak, but the security guard interjected before him, "Nothing, Liu just fell over by accident."

He Cunhao wasn’t a fool; Liu’s expression clearly showed he had been wronged.

After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Is your name Liu Ran?"

"Yeah."

"Come with me."

"Oh." Just as Liu Ran was about to follow, the older security guard whispered a warning, "Don’t say what you shouldn’t, or you’re the one who will get into trouble."

Liu Ran opened his mouth, finally nodding, "I understand."

He followed He Cunhao towards the elevator.

"Tell me, what happened?"

"Secretary He, it’s nothing, I just fell over by myself."

"To tell the truth," He Cunhao, who had served as Secretary under Zhang Meilin for a while, had cultivated a certain demeanor. Although his tone hadn’t changed much, it carried an undeniable authority that made people unconsciously tense.

Liu Ran thought of the kick he had just received and of Lu Xiaotian’s arrogant demeanor, and his anger grew.

He was also a man in his twenties, hot-blooded and quick-tempered.

We’re all human, why should I be bullied?

With that thought in mind, Liu Ran told him what had happened.

After listening, He Cunhao said, "You should go back first."

"Okay." Liu Ran was somewhat disappointed.

He had hoped that Secretary He would stand up for him, but it seemed he had expected too much.

He Cunhao went to the office and noticed that the secretary seemed to be in a very good mood.

As he grabbed the teapot and added water, he asked, "Secretary, have you decided on your driver yet?"

"Do you have a recommendation?"

"There’s a security guard downstairs called Liu Ran, he’s quite good."

"Oh? You know him?"

"No, but he is very diligent and responsible."

He Cunhao briefly recounted what had just happened.

"Even when faced with Lu Xiaotian, he did not back down and insisted on him registering, but Lu Xiaotian was too arrogant and hit someone before leaving."

"Lu Xiaotian came here?"

Zhang Meilin still didn’t know what Song Guanchao’s plan was exactly.

He suppressed the thought and said, "Comrades like Liu Ran are indeed rare; let him come to drive for me."

He was in need of confidants now.

Secretaries and drivers, they were the confidants among confidants, not just anyone could be chosen.

This Liu, he was indeed very responsible, and had a kind of simple integrity.

"Okay, I will contact him right away."

After He Cunhao left, Zhang Meilin dialed Song Guanchao’s phone.

"Younger brother, Lu Xiaotian just came to the City Committee. He seemed very anxious, did you make your move?"

"It’s already taken care of."

Song Guanchao was in the car.

Now that the matter was resolved, he felt exuberant and did not conceal any longer, sharing the details of his plan with him.

After hearing his explanation, Zhang Meilin’s eyelids twitched fiercely: "You took pretty drastic measures."

"Drastic?" Song Guanchao chuckled, "Against such people, you can’t be too harsh. If you don’t utterly crush him, who knows how many more he’ll harm in the future."

"Lu Xiaotian will probably come looking for you soon, try to stabilize him first."

"Leave it to me."

If Lu Xiaotian could be taken down, the security in Dujiang County would undoubtedly step up to a new level.

"Should we take control of Yao Jinsheng now?"

"We can’t," said Song Guanchao. "Maybe when we investigate Lu Xiaotian more thoroughly, we will find ties between them. But the investigation hasn’t begun yet, so we have no excuse to take control."

Zhang Meilin said, "There is evidence against Tu Zhaorui."

Song Guanchao sighed, "Even with evidence, it’s not a good time to use it right now. Lu Xiaotian is a madman, not a fool. At such a critical moment, if Yao Jinsheng falls, no one can predict the crazy actions Lu Xiaotian might take."

"So, we must stabilize him first."

Yao Jinsheng was definitely going down this time.

Setting the trap for Lu Xiaotian also served the purpose of clearing the way for Zhang Meilin to take over the public security position.

But there was an order in all this.

If the order was wrong, it could trigger an incident as severe as the Hou Wen Case.

...

In Chen Guanyun’s office, Lu Xiaotian said, "Uncle Chen, you must help me. If you don’t, I’m really done for this time!"
