Official Career Storm
Chapter 672

Chapter 672: Chapter 672

The people on the scene aren’t fools; on the contrary, they’re all shrewd.

Just from a few words, they can roughly figure out the situation.

From Jiang Wangshan’s reaction, it can be determined that this Secretary Yang must also have a significant background!

And from Luo Ke Gong’s words, it’s clear that Secretary Yang is also here to solve the issue for Song Guanchao.

Someone nudged Zhang Shian, quietly asking: "Who is this Secretary Yang? Do you know?"

Zhang Shian’s eyes were already dazed, and he instinctively responded: "The former head of the Central Disciplinary Inspection Committee, a member of the Politburo Standing Committee..."

"Damn!"

Upon learning his identity, there was a collective gasp of "damn" around.

At this moment, when everyone looked at Song Guanchao again, their gazes had changed!

He’s not just bluffing; he’s genuinely impressive!

No wonder he’s so calm; this isn’t an act, but rather a deeply-rooted confidence!

Xu Zi’s sexy red lips trembled slightly, her face appearing bewildered.

Why did it turn out this way?

Clearly, he should have offended Jiang Wangshan, dragging Lin Wanqiu into it as well...

That would have been the normal development.

But why could Song Guanchao turn things around?

Xu Zi bit her red lips tight, a nameless anger rising in her heart.

She regretted it!

If she had warned Song Guanchao from the start, even if she did nothing afterwards.

Song Guanchao would surely have owed her a favor.

But now, it’s too late to regret.

Opportunities lost are never regained.

"Guanchao, long time no see."

Yang Xiong walked over and patted Song Guanchao on the shoulder, his affectionate demeanor causing Jiang Wangshan to break out in a cold sweat.

"Secretary Yang..."

"That’s enough, I’m retired. Call me uncle."

"Uh... considering our age difference, that might not be appropriate."

"Then call me grandpa."

"No way, you’re taking advantage of me."

Listening to their banter, everyone was astounded.

Being asked to call someone grandpa, and yet you feel taken advantage of?

That’s Secretary Yang!

Many would give anything for the chance to call him grandpa, yet never get it.

But this also shows that the relationship between the two isn’t just ordinary.

"Alright, let’s settle this first."

Luo Ke Gong interrupted their conversation, looking at Jiang Wangshan: "Director Jiang, I’ve heard about today’s events from Xiao Feng."

Jiang Wangshan hurriedly replied: "Chief, today’s matter was a misunderstanding."

"A misunderstanding?"

Luo Ke Gong smiled benignly: "Oh, it was a misunderstanding."

He then turned to Song Guanchao: "Guanchao, what do you think?"

Song Guanchao laughed and said: "Since Director Jiang says it’s a misunderstanding, then it’s a misunderstanding."

Yang Xiong stood beside him, silent.

But judging by his expression, if Song Guanchao didn’t want to handle it quietly, he wouldn’t mind making it loud once.

Song Guanchao wasn’t against being flamboyant, but he knew very well that these two were already retired and no longer held positions.

He could definitely flaunt it.

But there was no need for that.

A showdown would be of no benefit to him.

Moreover, Jiang Wangshan also had people backing him.

To involve those behind him because of a minor dispute wasn’t realistic either.

These two wouldn’t do that anyway.

After all, he wasn’t at a loss.

"Haha, as long as the misunderstanding is cleared up, it’s fine."

Luo Ke Gong smiled harmlessly, about to leave when he suddenly remembered something, turned back, and unexpectedly asked the bunch of second-generation heirs, including Li He: "Who started the fight?"

Li He was stunned; he looked to his brother-in-law for help, but Jiang Wangshan dared not stand up for him.

He had to grit his teeth and say: "Ch-chief, I, I drank too much, I didn’t mean it."

Luo Ke Gong asked: "And drinking too much gives you the right to hit someone?"

"I, I... I’m sorry, I won’t do it again."

"Sorry?" Luo Ke Gong looked at Song Guanchao: "What about your friend?"

Song Guanchao thought to himself, it’s all over, why stir it up again?

"I let him return to the hotel to rest."

"Already gone?" Luo Ke Gong said: "Then it wouldn’t be polite to disturb someone resting."

He approached Li He.

Although he was half a head shorter than Li He, he had to look up at him: "Less of this bullying nonsense. I led troops on the frontlines fighting life and death, not for scum like you to sit back and show off, bullying your own people!"

Luo Ke Gong’s demeanor suddenly shifted, completely shedding the image of a rural old man; his iron-like presence made the taller Li He feel suffocated.

"Yes, yes..."

"If you were my grandson, dared to do something like that, I’d shoot you!"

Li He was almost brought to tears by Luo Ke Gong’s words, and Jiang Wangshan didn’t dare make a sound, knowing that an angry old general was truly terrifying.

But since Li He was his brother-in-law, Jiang Wangshan said: "Chief, calm down. I’ll have him apologize."

"Apologize?" Luo Ke Gong squinted: "Wearing that uniform, letting him apologize in a way that’s accepted?"

Jiang Wangshan was entirely embarrassed.

"Stupid good-for-nothing!"

With a harsh curse, Luo Ke Gong turned and left.

Yang Xiong smiled and said: "An apology should be done properly, Luo has given you a way out, so lower your head and make amends."

After leaving those words, Yang Xiong said: "Guanchao, let’s go, go accompany the old man for a drink."

The three left the banquet hall under the escort of guards, while all present watched them leave.

After they left, Li He asked in a trembling voice: "Brother-in-law, w-what should I do?"

From what it sounded like, Song Guanchao was letting him off, but that retired old general surely remembered him.

Jiang Wangshan felt like slapping him.

If it weren’t for the trouble he caused, how could he have embarrassed himself tonight?

Not only did he not regain control, but Song Guanchao managed to humiliate him.

That slap tonight would definitely get around.

It wouldn’t be long before all of Yanjing knew that the youngest deputy director got slapped by someone.

But as there were many people around, he suppressed his anger and said: "Go apologize!"

"How should I apologize?"

"No matter how you do it, make sure they forgive you!"

"Brother-in-law, come with me..."

"Come with you? Are you kidding? I’m wearing this uniform, would I dare?"

Jiang Wangshan whispered: "Keep tonight’s events to yourself."

Then he looked at the other rich second-generation: "The same goes for you guys, don’t go blabbing around!"

They all nodded in agreement.

Just as Jiang Wangshan was about to leave, another person entered the banquet hall.

This time, it was a woman.

A woman in jeans and a white blouse, simply yet elegantly dressed, but entirely out of place in a formal banquet setting.

This woman had a tall figure, stunning features, and once she appeared, all other women in the room seemed to fade.

Men’s gazes naturally gravitated toward her.

As if she was the focus of this moment.

The woman ignored all the eyes on her, exuding confidence as she walked over with her long legs.

She noticed scattered parts on the ground but had no idea what they were.

She saw the second-generation heirs, including Li He, matching the photos she had seen earlier.

She saw Jiang Wangshan.

Then, she stopped and asked: "Where is Song Guanchao?"

Jiang Wangshan’s eyes lit up, but upon hearing that name, he instinctively frowned with disdain: "Who are you?"

"Wu Qiangwei."

Her voice was as clear and melodious as a stone falling on a jade plate.
