Chapter 58: Chapter 58

The next day.

As soon as Song Guanchao arrived at the company, Sun Mingliang hurriedly sought him out.

"There’s trouble!"

Song Guanchao felt a bit of a headache, as Chengda Company seemed to have too many issues.

"Let’s talk in the boardroom."

When they entered the boardroom, several people were already there.

Yu Lifang sat with her legs crossed, one hand around her chest, the other playing with her phone, only giving Song Guanchao a glance upon seeing him.

He Yong and Zhang Kai were whispering to each other, not sure what they were going on about, while Tian Xue sat there indifferently drinking tea.

Upon his arrival, Wu Yun whispered, "There’s trouble."

Song Guanchao grunted in acknowledgment and said, "Chairman Sun, what’s the problem?"

Sun Mingliang said, "The Cultural Bureau just informed us that the approval for tomorrow’s concert didn’t go through."

Song Guanchao’s hand, reaching for a cigarette, paused, his expression somewhat wry.

"Oh man, why so sudden?"

Zhang Kai spoke with sarcastic concern, "What are we going to do? Master Song had already lined up all the singers. The concert is supposed to start tomorrow, but now that the Cultural Bureau hasn’t given its approval, who’s going to bear the responsibility for such a big oversight?"

"I will take care of this matter!"

The speaker was not Song Guanchao, but Tian Xue.

Her calm demeanor and confident tone made it seem like it was no difficult task at all.

Song Guanchao looked at her with an unusual gaze, a suspicion growing in his heart.

He had offended Yang Yongqiang last night, but no matter the offense, Yang should be aware that he is from the guidance group and should know Wu Qiangwei’s stance.

Daring to stop the concert now would be tantamount to directly confronting Secretary Wu.

Even if Yang was incompetent, he wouldn’t do something like this.

Combining this with Tian Xue’s statement, Song Guanchao had a guess.

Tian Xue and Yang Yongqiang must have met!

Yang was intentionally creating an opportunity for Tian Xue to achieve a victory.

This move not only highlighted Song Guanchao’s ineptitude but also showcased Tian Xue’s capability—a perfect two-for-one strategy.

"Chairman Sun, aside from the Cultural Bureau’s approval, is there anything else?" Tian Xue asked.

Sun Mingliang said, "There’s also a singer who hasn’t been confirmed."

"I’ll talk to them!" Tian Xue immediately said, "Leave that matter to me!"

This made Song Guanchao even more certain of his guess.

"Clack."

He lit his cigarette, "Secretary Tian, there’s no need to trouble yourself with this."

Tian Xue frowned, "What do you mean, Song Guanchao?"

Song Guanchao said, "Heh, I’ve already given a heads up to the Cultural Bureau. That singer, I’ve also made contact with. The concert will proceed as scheduled tomorrow, without any issues."

Tian Xue’s frown deepened, and she looked to He Yong instinctively.

He Yong was also puzzled but quickly realized that Song Guanchao was bluffing.

He gave Tian Xue a knowing look.

Tian Xue understood too that he was bluffing.

She had already made arrangements with Director Yang the previous night, the concert’s approval could only pass if she made the call.

"Alright then, you handle it," said Tian Xue with a sneer before sitting down.

Let Song Guanchao embarrass himself first, and when he’s helpless, Chengda Company would naturally put pressure on him.

Then when she took over and solved the problem, her role in saving the day would be all the more prominent!

In doing so, it would further emphasize Song Guanchao’s incompetence and her own prowess!

Even if Secretary Wu favored Song Guanchao, he could not overlook the role she played in this guidance!

After the meeting, Song Guanchao asked Sun Mingliang to stay.

"Mr. Song, about this issue..."

"Chairman Sun, do you have any contacts at the TV station?"

"Yes."

"Get in touch with them, ask them to go to the outside of Chengda Mall immediately to conduct interviews."

"Mr. Song..."

"Do as I say."

"Okay!"

Although unclear about the reason behind Song Guanchao’s actions, Sun had no doubt about Song’s capabilities from their interactions over the past few days.

If he was doing this, there must be a good reason.

Sun Mingliang called a few reporters in front of him.

After he finished the call, Song Guanchao said, "Jiang Qi won’t be attending the concert tomorrow."

"Ah?" Sun Mingliang panicked.

Jiang Qi was a recently popular singing sensation, extremely hot.

If she couldn’t attend, tomorrow’s concert would certainly have problems.

Song Guanchao said, "You need to find a top-tier singer to replace her now, preferably one from Lingjiang locally, and don’t worry about the cost. Also, issue an announcement in the company’s name, declaring the cancellation of tomorrow’s commercial performance."

"But..."

"Listen to me, nothing will go wrong with tomorrow’s concert."

"Okay!" Sun Mingliang clenched his teeth, and given the situation, he could only trust Song Guanchao.

"Xiao Wu, come with me." Song Guanchao stood up to leave, and Wu Yun hurriedly followed.

Arriving at the parking lot, Song Guanchao asked, "Can you drive?"

"Yes."

"You drive."

Song Guanchao sat in the passenger seat, and Wu Yun got in the car and asked, "Where to?"

"Chengda Mall."

On the road, Song Guanchao dialed a phone number.

"Madman, are you busy?"

"Shit, Mr. Song!"

The voice on the other end sounded extremely excited.

This was Lu Feng, Song Guanchao’s subordinates in the army.

He was also from Lingjiang and Song Guanchao’s fellow townsman. In the army, Song Guanchao took good care of him.

But, Lu Feng had offended a second-generation rich during one exercise.

The other party had people hassle him, and being stubborn, he outright dropped out and retired.

This incident happened while Song Guanchao was away assisting the Ministry of Public Security with a case, and he only found out when he returned.

He didn’t say much, just that in the next exercise, he taught that rich kid a harsh lesson.

He put out the word that as long as he, Song Guanchao, was in the army, the rich kid better not expect to live peacefully.

The soldiers in the army understood Song Guanchao; they knew he protected his own and looked after them, but if one of his own made a mistake, they would be punished accordingly.

But if outsiders dared to bully his soldiers, sorry, he had plenty of ways to deal with them.

Therefore, he held extremely high authority in the army; no one disobeyed or dared to provoke him.

Suddenly receiving a call from Song Guanchao, Lu Feng was thrilled, "Squad leader, are you on leave?"

"No, retired."

"Ah?"

"Never mind that, where are you working now?"

"I’m keeping watch for someone at Binjiang Bar Street."

"Not bad."

"Ah, just messing around, managing a few guys to maintain order."

"You’ve got it made." Song Guanchao laughed and said, "I have a favor to ask of you."

"Shit, squad leader, you kidding me? With just your word, even if it’s to climb a mountain of knives or descend into a sea of flames..."

"Alright, alright, listen up, bring some people to Chengda Square now, I’ll be there soon."

After giving a few instructions, Song Guanchao hung up the phone.

Listening on the side, Wu Yun became more and more bewildered about what exactly he intended to do.

"Hello, Miss Xu." Song Guanchao dialed this agent’s number next.

"Hehe, Mr. Song, what’s the matter?" Miss Xu sneered, full of disdain.

A mere driver, and he thinks he’s so important?

Song Guanchao said, "Miss Xu, I’ll ask one last time, can Jiang Qi attend tomorrow’s concert?"

"Sorry, she can’t."

"Fine, then don’t bother showing up, await the lawyer’s letter."

After hanging up the phone, Song Guanchao continued to call Yang Yongqiang.

"Who is this?"

"Director Yang, it’s me, haha, Xiao Song, we met last night."

"Oh, Xiao Song, what’s up?"

"Director Yang, about Chengda Company’s concert tomorrow, from your side at the Cultural Bureau..."

Yang Yongqiang interrupted, "I’ve just heard about this; Chengda Company’s commercial performance has some irregularities. Tell them to rectify it first, and after it’s sorted, they can reapply."

Song Guanchao still kept a cheerful tone, "Director Yang, are you dead set against me?"

"What are you talking about? If it’s irregular, it’s irregular. Even as a deputy director, I can’t break the rules wantonly. I’m busy on this end; I’m hanging up now."

Yang Yongqiang sported an attitude of strictly abiding by official duties.

Song Guanchao was not the least bit angry, chuckled and put down his phone, "Some people just don’t want face when it’s given; what a pity."
