Official Career Storm
Chapter 54

Chapter 54: Chapter 54

Sun Mingliang patiently explained to him that apart from salaries, the company had other necessary expenses.

It’s not like the money just sat untouched in the account.

Song Guanchao understood that they had called him in to deal with a financial issue.

To him, this wasn’t much of a problem.

If money was short, they could just continue to borrow.

It’s just 20 million, much easier than last time.

"Chairman Sun, please urge Lawyer Fu to communicate with the economic investigation department. Also, contact the bank first; regardless of whether the economic investigation department approves, get the loan first."

"Okay, I got it."

Song Guanchao was already well-versed in handling such matters.

He Yong and others realized they couldn’t burden him with this, each feeling frustrated.

After the meeting, everyone left, leaving only Song Guanchao and Wu Yun.

Wu Yun leaned on her palm and said with a smile, "Secretary Song, you have to treat us to a meal when you get promoted."

"I’m just a driver, what promotion could I possibly get?"

"Come on, don’t play innocent."

"Anyone with eyes can see that once you return to the City Committee, Secretary Wu will definitely rely on you heavily."

"Let’s talk about that when it happens."

Song Guanchao also felt that his place as a secretary was almost secure, but until everything was officially settled, he needed to keep a low profile.

"Let’s go, I’ll buy you a coffee."

"Sure."

"Do you want milk with your coffee?"

"Song Guanchao!"

"Hahaha!"

They arrived at a nearby coffee shop and chose a table by the window.

Song Guanchao, under the guise of reading her palm, was taking the advantage of holding her small hand.

Wu Yun blushed, letting him hold and stroke her hand back and forth, making her feel like there was a deer running wild in her heart.

At that moment, Tian Xue and He Yong from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau entered the coffee shop.

He Yong ordered two cups of coffee, and after some laughter with Tian Xue, they left and got into a Mercedes parked by the roadside.

Wu Yun saw this too and watched the car drive away, saying, "They seem to be quite close."

Song Guanchao sneered silently.

This Tian Xue, after taking up the position of Secretary Wu’s secretary, really became highly sought after.

Look, even the head of the office at the Industrial and Commercial Bureau was actively courting her.

Even giving her a ride in a Benz.

Where was he taking her?

Probably to introduce her to some people.

It seemed Tian Xue had also realized that her position as a secretary wasn’t secure, which is why she was keen on making connections and seeking help.

While he was pondering, Sun Mingliang called again.

"Mr. Song, something has come up."

Another problem!

Song Guanchao massaged his forehead and said, "I’ll be right there."

Downing his coffee in one gulp, he stood up and said, "I need to step out for a bit."

Wu Yun pouted. It was rare for her to have a date with Song Guanchao, and just when she was enjoying this appropriately ambiguous moment, an ill-timed phone call interrupted them.

But she knew that Chengda Company wouldn’t contact him unless it was important.

She felt both distressed and curious; the issues at Chengda Company were just too numerous.

In the office,

Sun Mingliang, smoking and with a troubled expression, shared the situation with Song Guanchao and Wu Yun.

Right after the previous meeting, as Sun Mingliang went to arrange the loans, he also contacted twenty-one singers to confirm the schedule for the day and arrange accommodations.

As a result, there was a problem with the singers.

Some singers wanted to back out and return their deposits, refusing to come.

Others suddenly raised their prices, refusing to come without more money.

In short, there was every imaginable issue.

"Out of 21 singers, only two are willing to fulfill the contract!" Sun Mingliang felt these singers were damn unprofessional.

They had signed contracts and paid deposits, and now they were saying they wouldn’t come or demanding a price increase.

Was the contract a joke to them?

Did they regard the law as nothing?

Song Guanchao said, "It’s such a simple matter, just sue them if they won’t come. Don’t we have legal staff for that, kept on payroll just for such times?"

Sun Mingliang gave a bitter smile, "If they ultimately don’t come, we will definitely sue. But it’s not time for that yet."

"Besides, our main goal isn’t to sue but to ensure the concert goes on."

"This concert has been promoted for months now, and a space had been specifically cleared outside the shopping street, with many fans from other provinces having booked their plane and train tickets."

"The concert is supposed to be this weekend, and it’s already trending online. If they suddenly refuse to come, not only the concert will fail but the reputation of the shopping street will also be affected."

Hearing this, Song Guanchao understood where the difficulty lay.

Chengda Company didn’t care about spending money, as it was all for corporate image promotion.

But now, while the singers were reluctant to come, the fans had already bought their tickets.

If this turned into a fiasco, both Chengda Company and the shopping street’s reputations would be damaged.

Most importantly, Lingjiang City’s reputation would also suffer a negative impact.

Song Guanchao stubbed out his cigarette and said, "Give me their agent’s phone numbers, I’ll handle this!"

"Mr. Song, if it doesn’t work, you need to tell me in advance so we can invite other singers at the last minute."

"No need to invite others, just them!"

Song Guanchao’s response was firm.

After getting the list and contact information, Wu Yun glanced at it and exclaimed, "Wow, Chengda Company actually invited Jiang Qi!"

"Do you know her?"

"She’s a big star, how could I possibly know her personally, but I really like her songs. She seems to be only 22 years old, one of the more impressive young generation singers, with incredible singing skills. Last month she released two songs in quick succession and dominated the trending list for over a month, becoming widely popular!"

Song Guanchao stared at the name of this singer, Jiang Qi, noticing the reason she was unwilling to comply with the contract.

Temporary price hike!

The originally agreed performance fee was 300,000, and now she suddenly demanded 2.8 million.

Hearing Wu Yun explain, he understood the reason.

When the contract was signed, Jiang Qi was not yet popular, only somewhat known.

After the contract, she suddenly became a sensation, her fame and popularity skyrocketing, placing her among the A-list singers.

Feeling that the 300,000 performance fee no longer matched her status, she demanded a spontaneous price increase.

Song Guanchao sneered coldly, deriding such unprincipled behavior as short-sighted.

"How do you plan to handle this?"

Ever since Wu Yun witnessed how Song Guanchao dealt with Chengda’s financial issues, she had become particularly curious about how he would handle these singers.

"A man of the mountains has his own clever plans."

Song Guanchao smiled mysteriously, making Wu Yun even more curious as she grasped his arm and shook it, "Come on, tell me."

Her soft chest pressed against Song Guanchao’s arm, stirring his heart.

He pointed at his face, Wu Yun blushed, glanced at the closed door.

Taking a deep breath, she quickly leaned in for a kiss.

But unexpectedly, Song Guanchao suddenly turned his head, and the kiss meant for his cheek landed on his lips instead.

Wu Yun’s eyes widened in shock, and before she could react, she suddenly felt Song Guanchao’s powerful tongue invade her mouth, stirring vigorously, leaving her mind disordered and her body weak.

"Ah! You big bad man!" Wu Yun hastily pushed him away, seeing his smirk made her both angry and annoyed.

"Hmph, always taking advantage of me!"

Wu Yun pushed him and asked, "Come on, how are you going to handle it?"

Song Guanchao grabbed his phone, "Simple, stick to the contract."
