Official Career Storm
Chapter 667

Chapter 667: Chapter 667

This woman isn’t an easy one to deal with either.

Song Guanchao glanced around, taking in everyone’s reactions.

He smiled faintly, not taking it to heart at all.

Just as he’d told Zhang Meilin, he genuinely didn’t take these second-generation rich kids seriously.

He let them make phone calls, not to escalate the situation.

But to resolve it completely in one go.

To avoid the cliché of beating the young and then dealing with the old.

On the other side.

Lin Wanqiu was calling her fiancé.

She met her fiancé through a matchmaking session, their families considered well-matched, and parents urging them to get engaged quickly.

But Lin Wanqiu was unwilling in her heart.

She didn’t like this fiancé and had no romantic feelings for him.

But she understood that some things were beyond her control.

Moreover, she knew well that making this call meant she owed her fiancé a favor.

Her fiancé liked her very much and always suggested spending the night together when they met.

She always avoided direct contact or any transactional relationship with him, not wanting to owe him.

But now, she had no choice but to owe him a favor.

Her fiancé had some connections in the Beijing Circle and was very adept at managing relationships.

To solve this issue, the only person she could think of was her fiancé.

"Xiao Zheng." The call connected, and Lin Wanqiu called his name.

Xiao Zheng’s tone was gentle: "Wanqiu, what’s wrong?"

Lin Wanqiu hesitated slightly, then told him what happened tonight.

Xiao Zheng was silent for a few seconds before asking, "Is it Li He?"

"Yes."

"Is your friend very important to you?"

"Yes."

"What’s his name?"

"Song Guanchao."

Song Guanchao...

Unsurprisingly, Xiao Zheng had never heard of this person.

He asked for the name mainly to determine whether the person was male or female.

It was obvious—a man.

During the time he dated Lin Wanqiu, Xiao Zheng noticed her coldness towards him.

He wasn’t very concerned.

Love is something that can be settled later.

But now, his detached fiancé, who never asked him for help before, suddenly called, willing to owe him a favor, just to help a man.

A nameless fury surged within Xiao Zheng.

He really wanted to know what kind of relationship this Song Guanchao had with her.

But he didn’t ask over the phone.

"I’ll see what I can find out." He maintained his gentle tone and hung up.

About ten minutes later, Xiao Zheng called back.

"How is it?"

Lin Wanqiu’s anxiety and concern made Xiao Zheng even angrier.

Xiao Zheng said, "Wanqiu, don’t get involved in this matter anymore."

"I’ve already checked; he’s provoked more than just Li He. He’s entangled with multiple well-known second-generation rich."

"Xiao Zheng, really, is there no way out?"

"Wanqiu, you were on site, you should have seen it. Look at the people around Li He, none of them are easy to deal with."

"The youngest son of Tianyun Real Estate’s Executive Director, the grandson of Mayor Liu..."

Xiao Zheng sighed, "It’s not that I don’t want to help; I’m limited in what I can do! You should also back out from this matter. I’ll come find you tomorrow, and inform your parents, and go apologize at Li He’s house."

"Remember, he’s not your friend, just someone who brought you to the banquet. Li He’s parents are reasonable people and won’t hold it against you."

Lin Wanqiu remained silent.

She didn’t have much hope in Xiao Zheng; she simply had no one else to turn to.

"Thank you."

"Wanqiu, don’t act impulsively out of emotion."

Xiao Zheng was concerned she might do something she couldn’t take back in the heat of the moment.

"Okay." Lin Wanqiu responded lightly and hung up.

She held onto her phone, standing still, feeling uncertain.

She didn’t know who else she could turn to for help.

As a journalist for the Ministry of Propaganda, it turned out to be useless in this situation.

Her parents?

Her parents had some influence, but the other side’s influence was greater.

Moreover, dragging her parents into this because of Song Guanchao...

She turned around and looked at Song Guanchao’s tall figure, feeling suddenly a bit dazed.

She didn’t even know why she wanted to help Song Guanchao.

Logic told her she shouldn’t get involved.

Once entangled, it could hit her career and even her parents hard.

But...

Lin Wanqiu bit her lip, her gaze suddenly resolute, and walked toward Song Guanchao.

Seeing Song Guanchao’s curious look, Lin Wanqiu forced a smile and then turned to Li He, who had finished the phone call, "Li He, I apologize to you on his behalf. Anything you need to make amends, I can satisfy."

Song Guanchao was extremely surprised.

Lin Wanqiu’s attitude made him feel surreal.

He couldn’t understand why Lin Wanqiu was helping him so much.

From her words, it was clear the call she made had no effect.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t be asking Li He for forgiveness in her own name.

Li He squinted his eyes, equally baffled.

He scratched his messed-up hair and smirked, "Lin Wanqiu, you got water in your brain?"

Pointing to Song Guanchao, then to his own face, "This guy slapped me in the face! Get it? He slapped me! And you want to wade into this mess?"

The nearby guests had almost all seen Lin Wanqiu before.

After all, she was a journalist from the Ministry of Propaganda, often in the public eye.

They also couldn’t understand why Lin Wanqiu would wade into this mess.

Besides, as far as they knew, Lin Wanqiu had a fiancé and was close to getting engaged.

For an unfamiliar man, not afraid to offend Li He, could it be that there was some unspeakable affair between the two?

The crowd suddenly felt that Xiao Zheng’s forehead was turning a bit green.

Lin Wanqiu said, "He’s my brother."

"Brother?"

Li He couldn’t help but laugh, but this smile tugged at his mouth, causing some pain.

Touching his face, he nodded, "Brother, right? Does Xiao Zheng know you have this brother? Lin Wanqiu, if you leave now, I can pretend I didn’t hear any of this, and this incident I can also pretend never happened."

"But if you insist on stepping up for him, heh, then when I deal with you, don’t say I, Li He, don’t know how to be humane."

The situation was at a standstill.

Just then, someone strode in from the outside.

The newcomer was handsome and tall.

Seeing this person, people had playful expressions in their eyes.

"Wanqiu!"

The newcomer was none other than Xiao Zheng.

He was nearby and rushed over immediately after hanging up the phone.

As he came over before he could speak, Li He said, "Xiao Zheng, your fiancée said this guy is her brother. Did you know you had a little brother-in-law?"

Brother...

Xiao Zheng’s face twitched, but with so many people around, he couldn’t show anger.

"Heh, Wanqiu likes to joke around."

"Li He, this guy has nothing to do with Wanqiu, just someone here under her name. I’ll take care of this matter."

Li He pulled out a cigarette, lit it, exhaled a puff, nodded, "Now that sounds reasonable."

He then gestured, "Take your woman away, soon there’ll be blood here, don’t want your woman to get scared."

Li He grabbed Lin Wanqiu, about to lead her out.

Lin Wanqiu shook off his arm, said nothing, but didn’t leave either.

Xiao Zheng was simply furious.

He used to think Lin Wanqiu understood the big picture, even if she didn’t have feelings for him, but once married, sharing intimacy would naturally develop feelings.

Besides, he didn’t care if Lin Wanqiu had feelings for him or not.

He cared about a well-matched family, what help her parents could provide him, the advantages her job could offer.

And, Lin Wanqiu’s attractive body.

But today he realized, this woman was a bit of an idiot!

For an unknown man, she was actually willing to get involved in such a mess.

He lowered his voice, "Wanqiu, if you don’t leave now, I’ll call Uncle and Aunt to come take you away!"

Lin Wanqiu’s eyes flickered, her internal struggle evident.

At this point, Song Guanchao suddenly spoke, "Miss Lin, it’s getting late, it’s better for you to return first. Tomorrow, I’ll visit your home to thank you for the hospitality."
