Official Career Storm
Chapter 95

Chapter 95: Chapter 95

Liang Jianfeng was somewhat surprised.

He thought that when Xiao Chenggong called, he was just comforting himself.

Unexpectedly, he really wanted to recommend someone to him?

However, such cases are difficult to investigate clearly, no matter who undertakes them.

He was a veteran police officer, having spent so many years on the front lines with abundant experience.

Yet even someone like him, after taking over the case, found it hard to clarify the situation right away.

Such cases cannot be solved by individual capability alone.

But the other party had good intentions, and he didn’t want to snub them.

"Who?"

"Song Guanchao."

"Hmm?"

Liang Jianfeng paused.

He had never interacted with Song Guanchao, but this name was known to everyone in the Lingjiang City government.

"Secretary Wu’s secretary?"

"Yes."

Liang Jianfeng became more puzzled.

He is a secretary, how can he help me?

Could it be...

Liang Jianfeng seemed to have guessed something.

Was Xiao Chenggong trying to have him speak well of him to Secretary Wu, to mitigate the negative impact?

"No need, I will handle this case myself. If it cannot be solved within the deadline, then so be it."

Xiao Chenggong knew he had misunderstood."Mr. Liang, you are overthinking it. I recommended him to help you solve the case, not to curry favor with Secretary Wu."

"Solve the case?"

"Xiao Song is an elite of the Nanjiang Military District, and he was a commander’s bodyguard before retiring."

"Don’t just think of him as an ex-soldier; this guy has a natural talent for solving cases."

"I can’t say much more, but if he helps you, there might be a chance for this case."

Commander’s bodyguard?

Liang Jianfeng was secretly astonished; he didn’t know much about Song Guanchao, and hearing this from Xiao Chenggong, he was greatly surprised.

"Fine, then please talk to him for me."

"I will." Xiao Chenggong immediately hung up the phone.

Liang Jianfeng was not a stubborn person; as long as it aided in solving the case, he welcomed anyone.

...

Song Guanchao was wondering whether to contact Liang Jianfeng directly or perhaps meet him.

He glanced at the time—it was almost five.

He decided to meet Mr. Liang after work.

At that moment, Xiao Chenggong called.

"Help Director Liang?"

Hearing Xiao Chenggong’s words, Song Guanchao’s expression turned odd.

"Alright, leave it to me; send me Director Liang’s number."

Song Guanchao immediately dialed Liang Jianfeng’s phone.

"Director Liang, hello, I am Song Guanchao."

"Secretary Song, hello."

"Squad Leader Xiao has explained the situation to me already. If it’s convenient for you, shall we meet after work?"

Listening to his reference to Xiao Chenggong, Liang Jianfeng knew he was intentionally trying to close the distance between them.

"Fine."

After arranging the time and place, Song Guanchao hung up the phone.

This matter should temporarily be kept from Director Qin, to prevent that guy from secretly causing trouble.

"Mr. Song, what are you up to?"

Wu Yun suddenly sent a message.

They hadn’t been in touch much these days.

Song Guanchao was too busy to think of it.

Wu Yun, however, had been conflicted these past few days after hearing her father’s words that night.

"Busy solving problems for the leaders."

"That busy, huh?"

Even through the screen, Song Guanchao could feel her full resentment in every word.

"It’s been really busy, hence I didn’t even have time to grab bubble tea with you."

Upon seeing the words ’bubble tea,’ Wu Yun’s face couldn’t help but turn red.

"Hmph," Wu Yun said, "I know a grilled fish restaurant, want to go there after work? My treat."

"Can’t tonight, I have to meet someone after work."

"Okay then." Wu Yun felt somewhat disappointed.

"Right, there’s something I need your help with."

"What is it?"

"Let’s meet and talk about it, just wait for me a moment."

Song Guanchao went downstairs to buy two cups of bubble tea and came to the office entrance.

"Turn around."

Wu Yun turned her head and saw Song Guanchao.

A glimmer of surprise flashed in her eyes as she stood up and walked over.

The other people in the office watched, showing gossip-filled expressions when they saw Song Guanchao.

Zhang Kai saw it too.

But now, he didn’t dare to be sarcastic with Song Guanchao anymore.

Ever since Yang Yongqiang and He Yong were put away, he had become somewhat scared of Song Guanchao.

Besides, Song Guanchao was now Mr. Song, a very powerful figure, courted by countless people.

To put it bluntly, as a mere clerk, he didn’t even have the qualifications to talk to Song Guanchao.

If he truly angered him, getting him transferred would just be a phone call away.

The current Song Guanchao had already entered the core circle of Lingjiang City, his status incomparable to before.

And he was just a mere clerk.

Outside the office, Wu Yun bit on her straw, the faint sweetness improving her mood significantly.

Not seeing him for several days, she desperately missed him but deliberately suppressed it, not showing her feelings.

Yet she was still young, and no matter how well she hid them, her eyes betrayed her.

"What do you need my help with?"

"I need you to look up someone."

"Is it against the rules?"

"It’s not against the rules," Song Guanchao said with a smile, "Help me check on Director Liu from the comprehensive department. He used to be a teacher, but I’m not sure which school. Just some basic information about him, nothing else."

Song Guanchao could have asked anyone for such a task, but he asked her because he had been distant for the past few days and needed to reconnect.

"Oh, leave it to me."

"Wu Yun asked, "Who are you meeting after work?"

"I can’t say that."

"A man?"

"Yeah, an old man."

Song Guanchao knew what she was thinking and said with a chuckle, "I expect to be very busy. There’s a committee meeting next week, and after the meeting, the Secretary will go down to research and investigate, and I have to accompany him."

"Oh."

Wu Yun felt a bit let down, "So, do you have time this weekend?"

"Probably not."

"You know, others may rest, but leaders cannot."

In a leader’s life, there’s no concept of weekends or two-day offs.

Instead, the holidays tend to be even busier.

Wu Yun pouted and softly sighed.

"Hey, Song Guanchao."

"What is it?"

"What kind of girls do you like?"

As she asked, Wu Yun’s gaze shifted away, not daring to meet his eyes.

Song Guanchao pondered for a second and replied, "Love is unpredictable."

Then, staring at her with a mischievous smile, he asked, "Why, do you like me?"

"Yikes!" Wu Yun’s heart fluttered, and she hurriedly explained, "Who likes you? I was just curious."

"No more teasing," Song Guanchao said, "I have to go back now, otherwise the Secretary will find me and there’ll be trouble."

"Okay, I’ll let you know once I have the information."

"Good."

The young girl watched Song Guanchao rush off, a bit dejectedly stomping her foot.

Secretary Wu kept working until after six before leaving for the parking lot, where Song Guanchao again saw Wu Ming.

Just thinking about this youngster staying over at Wu Qiangwei’s house last night, Song Guanchao felt intensely annoyed.

If it weren’t for the fact that he had to meet Liang Jianfeng tonight, he would have dragged the kid out for another beating.
