Official Career Storm
Chapter 661

Chapter 661: Chapter 661

At half past six in the evening, they arrived at the Jiangzhou Hotel.

Entering the private room, Song Guanchao saw a tall and slender figure—Jiang Yiren!

Besides Jiang Yiren, there were Qu Xiangru and Jin Rong.

At this moment, Jiang Yiren was sitting next to Jin Rong, and they were chatting about something unknown.

During the day, Qu Xiangru had said she wanted to send Jiang Yiren to his bed; he had thought Qu Xiangru was just talking nonsense.

But now it seemed, Jiang Yiren might really be part of her faction.

"Secretary Wu."

Jin Rong and Jiang Yiren stood up, respectfully greeting.

"Hello." Wu Qiangwei smiled at the two, her gaze lingering on Jiang Yiren before casting a teasing look at Song Guanchao.

Song Guanchao secretly rolled his eyes.

"Secretary Song, you came too."

Jiang Yiren seemed to have a special fondness for him.

Admiration?

Reverence?

Women are creatures that admire strength, and towards a dazzling man like Song Guanchao, they would always develop a worshipful mentality.

"Hmm." Song Guanchao maintained his distance from her.

Qu Xiangru and Wu Qiangwei chatted for a while before sitting at the table.

After the waiter served the dishes, they left.

Jin Rong stood up to open the white wine, not asking if they drank, but just poured it out.

After a few rounds of toasts, they each chatted in their own circles.

Qu Xiangru chatted with Wu Qiangwei, Jin Rong chatted with Song Guanchao, while Jiang Yiren chirped away beside him, inquiring about the details of flying a plane and shooting Lu Xiaotian.

Song Guanchao restrained himself from being overly flattered by the young girl’s admiration, meticulously recounting the day’s events.

Jin Rong, unaware of this matter, was equally shocked as he listened.

"I’ll take a trip to the restroom." Wu Qiangwei exited during the gathering.

After she left the private room, Qu Xiangru also stood up, saying, "Secretary Song, come with me."

Song Guanchao followed her.

Leaving the private room, Qu Xiangru walked into the next room.

This room was not occupied by guests dining in it, and Qu Xiangru did not turn on the light, just went straight to the floor-to-ceiling window.

The hotel is located in the city center, and through the glass wall, one can see the most bustling scene of Jiangzhou City.

Cars are flowing, pedestrians are hastening, and the city’s neon blinks with the taste of GDP.

This degree of prosperity cannot be compared to Lingjiang.

Qu Xiangru took out a cigarette, her red lips pursed.

She lit up and took a gentle puff, suddenly saying, "What do you think of Yiren?"

Here there were no outsiders, Song Guanchao didn’t bother to conceal: "Does Governor Qu really think a beauty scheme will work on me?"

"If I wanted to, I could indulge every night; not to mention Jiang Yiren, even someone with looks seventy or eighty percent like Governor Qu’s, I can find."

The dirty joke aimed at herself did not make Qu Xiangru angry at all.

"I don’t mind you, I even have a slight fondness. If you want, book a room and let me know, I don’t mind getting involved with you."

Qu Xiangru’s beautiful eyes reflected the thousands of lights across Jiangzhou’s late night, as if two clusters of starlight were twinkling.

She spoke with an indifferent tone as if discussing someone else’s matter.

Qu Xiangru turned sideways, saying: "Just, I’m afraid after you enter my body, unnecessary emotional entanglements might occur."

"So, I suggest you not waste energy on me."

"If you wish to go further, higher, Yiren is more suitable for you."

She pulled out a room card from her pocket, stuffing it into his hand: "Yiren is the daughter of an elder of mine, her family background is no less than your Secretary Wu."

"She has quite a good impression of you; I can see it clearly, you’re quite skilled at charming ladies."

"Work hard, get her tonight."

"You’re very capable; someone aiding you in the officialdom will only smooth your future road. If any trouble arises, someone will also help you devise strategies."

Song Guanchao looked perplexed: "What does Governor Qu mean?"

This woman, opposing him on one hand and introducing women to him on the other.

So contradictory.

Qu Xiangru smiled alluringly: "Don’t overthink, I’ve never targeted you. After all, you’re just a little secretary."

"Of course, I haven’t targeted your Secretary Wu either; she just happens to stand on the opposite side of me."

"There are not so many feuds in the officialdom. Today it’s life or death, tomorrow it’s a hand-in-hand laughter, these are all normal."

"I just think your path can go further, perhaps in the future, you could help me, just an early investment on you."

"Haha."

Song Guanchao didn’t believe this nonsense.

He pinched Qu Xiangru’s collar, stuffing the room card between her ample breasts, suddenly pulling her close with an arm around her waist.

"Compared to Miss Jiang, I’m more interested in Governor Qu."

His large hand rested on Qu Xiangru’s hip, his palm fully feeling her resilience.

Qu Xiangru’s charming eyes cut like a knife over him, advancing instead of retreating, gripping his chin, sweeping her tongue over his lips:

"Little secretary, have you thought it through? My body, easy to enter, hard to leave."

With the conversation at this point, Song Guanchao found no path for retreat even if he wished.

After all, it’s about who is tougher.

Song Guanchao wasn’t really afraid of anyone.

He gripped tightly, pressing even closer, suddenly giving her lips a light nibble, saying: "It’s not easy down there, how about using the upper part, Governor Qu?"

Qu Xiangru was momentarily stunned, a hint of coldness flashing in her eyes, her smile dangerously saying: "Sure."

"Just joking." Song Guanchao released his hold.

With that look, Song Guanchao had no doubt she could bite him off with a single chomp.

"It’s getting late; I have to return with the Secretary."

Song Guanchao glanced at the time and headed towards the door.

Qu Xiangru stood silently by the window, smoking.

When he returned to the private room, Wu Qiangwei had just gotten back.

As soon as he sat down, Jiang Yiren squeezed over, bombarding him with questions.

Before long, Qu Xiangru returned.

After eating and drinking for another ten minutes or so, Qu Xiangru said: "Tonight’s meal was delightful, Secretary Wu, let’s meet again next time in Jiangzhou."

After the gathering was dismissed, Jiang Yiren was still trailing closely behind Song Guanchao.

When he went to the bathroom, she waited outside the door.

She followed all the way to the parking lot, only reluctantly waving goodbye when the taxi arrived.

Jin Rong watched from the side, both envious and jealous.

On the ride back, due to the driver’s presence, Song Guanchao held back from speaking.

After getting off the car, Song Guanchao told her what Qu Xiangru had said to him.

As for the two hugging in the private room, that was definitely something he couldn’t mention.

Listening to his recount, Wu Qiangwei seemed slightly surprised.

Song Guanchao asked: "Secretary, do you know Jiang Yiren’s background?"

"Jiang Yiren..." Wu Qiangwei shook her head: "Not too certain."

He noticed that Wu Qiangwei said not too certain, rather than didn’t know.

This meant she knew something.

Which made Song Guanchao feel strange.

First, it could be confirmed that before today, Wu Qiangwei definitely didn’t know someone like Jiang Yiren existed, so there couldn’t be any prior investigation.

So, she had just a general guess based on Jiang Yiren’s name?

Before swiping the card to enter the room, Wu Qiangwei said: "If Qu Xiangru wasn’t fooling you, Jiang Yiren is indeed a very good choice, you might consider it."

"Secretary..."

"Nine o’clock flight to Yanjing tomorrow morning, don’t oversleep."

Wu Qiangwei interrupted him, and went inside.
