Official Career Storm
Chapter 595

Chapter 595: Chapter 595

Xu Wenchang had once been the top authority in Panlong Town and had a good relationship with Li Zhuang.

However, whether he had any issues was still under speculation.

If there was no problem, then the favor couldn’t be given away.

For now, he couldn’t find an angle to approach Panlong Town.

But, Chen Zixiang on this side should be able to provide him with some useful information.

"Director Chen, do you know Xu Wenchang?" he asked straightforwardly, skipping unnecessary pleasantries after getting on the phone.

"I do."

"How is his usual conduct?"

"That scum, what kind of conduct can he have?"

Chen Zixiang snorted, "He’s just a bit more low-key than Li Zhuang, but he also owns plenty of properties and luxury cars in the county and the city."

Song Guanchao asked, "During his time as the Party Committee Secretary in Panlong Town, were there any issues with the elementary school education subsidies?"

"The problems started when he took office."

It was almost certain now.

This guy was not clean either.

After hanging up the phone, he then called Zhang Meilin.

Contacting Zhang Meilin was mainly due to the concern that Li Zhuang might notice something was amiss and contact Xu Wenchang.

Having experienced Hou Wen and Chen Guanyun fleeing, he was now quite attentive to such matters.

Before making the arrest, he had to ensure that the person was under his control at all times.

"Brother Zhang, are you busy?"

"If it’s not important, you wouldn’t be visiting the temple," Zhang Meilin replied.

Zhang Meilin knew him too well; he wouldn’t call unless there was something.

When he did call, there definitely was something.

Frankly, Zhang Meilin was now even a bit scared to receive his calls; every time he saw his incoming calls, his heart would tremble.

The mere idea that Song Guanchao might be like a crow, bringing only news of death whenever he spoke.

"Do you know Mayor Xu Wenchang in the city?"

"He has come to report his work to me several times, but I wouldn’t say I’m familiar."

"What kind of person is Mayor Xu?"

Zhang Meilin recalled for a few seconds and concluded, "A bit slippery."

Then he asked, "Did he offend you?"

"He didn’t offend me, but he has problems."

Song Guanchao told him about the situation in Panlong Town.

Zhang Meilin asked, "Do you want me to put him under surveillance?"

"Yes."

"Okay, I’ll contact Director Feng right away."

Within Dujiang City’s politico-legal committee and public security, everyone was Song Guanchao’s person, they were reliable, and there was no worry of information leakage.

After hanging up, Song Guanchao found Jin Rong’s number and gave him a call.

"Secretary Jin, am I interrupting?"

"Brother Song saying that makes it seem too formal, what’s up?"

"Heh, I want to relay a message to Governor Qu through Secretary Jin."

Jin Rong immediately perked up, his tone getting serious, "Go ahead."

"I can offer a Vice Mayor position in Dujiang City for Governor Qu, please ask him if he’s interested."

Jin Rong was taken aback.

What was this about?

Nanjiang Province had just held a central committee meeting, having settled all the department personnel in Dujiang City; where did this Vice Mayor position emerge from?

Could Song Guanchao be drunk?

"Brother Song, you mean Dujiang City?"

"Yes."

"But..."

"Secretary Jin, just help me pass the message."

The implication was clear, don’t ask what shouldn’t be asked.

Jin Rong snapped awake, realizing he shouldn’t overstep.

"Alright."

After about twenty minutes, as Song Guanchao arrived at the hotel entrance, his phone rang.

It was Qu Xiangru.

"Governor Qu, hello."

"Aren’t you afraid I’d tell Zheng Bihui?" Qu Xiangru seized the initiative right from the start.

Song Guanchao said calmly, "Governor Qu can say that, I don’t care."

Qu Xiangru pondered for a few seconds before saying, "I will tell him, but I’ll remember this favor."

This woman’s talk of favors almost made Song Guanchao laugh.

"Governor Qu, next time you plan to move against me, please give me a heads-up."

He had thought this woman would deny it, but she just said one word, "Okay."

This left Song Guanchao a bit at a loss.

He found that he was increasingly unable to understand Qu Xiangru.

This woman had no bottom line, yet she always emphasized favors.

Song Guanchao believed that if he truly needed her help, she would definitely assist.

But if he obstructed her plans, blocked her path, or failed to comply with her demands, she would surely eliminate him without mercy.

It was hard to understand what kind of mentality this woman had.

At one point, Song Guanchao thought that this woman might have some mental illness.

After all, a normal person wouldn’t do the things she did.

When he arrived at the room prepared by Lu Feng, the guy was lying on the bed in his boxers, legs covered in hair, playing with his phone.

Song Guanchao tossed his phone aside and asked, "Is the car fixed?"

"It’s fixed. The windshield cost me nine thousand yuan."

"I’ll reimburse you later."

He was about to take a shower when Lu Feng suddenly received a phone call, his tone urgent.

After hanging up, Lu Feng grabbed his clothes and said, "Squad leader, I have to go back. Something happened at the bar."

"Is it serious?"

"Not serious, but it’s annoying."

As Lu Feng dressed, he said, "That friend’s bar, you remember, right?"

"Yeah."

"Some people have targeted the bar, causing trouble every day. Today they smashed the windows, tomorrow they’ll make false police reports."

"Didn’t you sit down and talk?"

"We did, but they just want to buy the bar at a low price. Any reasonable offer would be negotiable, but do you know how much they offered?"

"How much?"

"500,000 yuan!"

"Is that too much or too little?"

"Definitely too little! The bar’s location is so good, even just the annual rent is more than 500,000 yuan. Luckily, the land belongs to my friend, so he’s not worried. If they want to drag it out, let them."

Song Guanchao said, "Let me know if you need my help."

"Not for now."

He knew that Song Guanchao was not just being polite.

Moreover, Song Guanchao would only make such an offer to him.

Unless the relationship was right, even if someone offered money, Song Guanchao would not get involved.

But Lu Feng was different; they were brothers.

The bar belonged to Lu Feng’s friend, but had it been Lu Feng’s own, Song Guanchao would have offered help the first time it was mentioned.

Of course, if it had really been Lu Feng’s place, an issue dragging on this long without resolution would already have resulted in a call to Song Guanchao.

"Take my car."

"Okay."

Lu Feng grabbed the car keys and left.

After his shower, Song Guanchao lay in bed when his phone vibrated. Wu Yun had sent a message.

"Are you back?"

"I’m back, just got to the hotel."

"Are we going back tomorrow?"

"Rest well for now, let’s sleep in tomorrow and head back after lunch."

"Sounds good." Wu Yun glanced at Zhou Qian in the bed next door and pouted.

If only she had come alone this time, maybe she would have had the chance to go see a movie with Song Guanchao, or stroll the streets, or take a walk.

Zhou Qian thought the same.

She also found Song Guanchao’s profile and sent him a message.

Song Guanchao switched back and forth between the chat windows of the two women, busy as a bee.

The next day, they woke up at ten in the morning.

He took the women out to the mall for a while.

After lunch, as they were getting ready to leave, a strange number called.

"Hello, who is this?"

"Hello Secretary Song, it’s me, Li Zhuang."

"Oh, does Secretary Li need something?"

"Xu Xin’s parents’ graves have been relocated. Would Secretary Song like to come and see? I’d also like to invite you to a meal and discuss some matters."
