Official Career Storm Chapter 16

The first ti Song Guanchao t Wu Qiangwei that morning, he felt her reaction was very off.

Would a person who ousted a Vice Mayor on his first day in office, a person who ca to Lingjiang City with a mission to reorganize the official scene, care about whether or not she was reporting to authority beyond her rank?

Moreover, although Wu Qiangwei verbally scolded him for following her and talked about calling the police...

She didn’t pick up her phone.

And her emotions remained calm from beginning to end.

It was as if she had anticipated another contact with him.

It seed his speculation was correct; Wu Qiangwei’s indifferent attitude that morning was indeed due to the inappropriate occasion.

And now, the occasion was right.

After speaking, Song Guanchao calmly t her gaze.

Wu Qiangwei’s icy look gradually softened, and the corners of her lips, painted with lip color, gently curled up.

Her face, so coldly beautiful when not smiling, suddenly blood with dazzling brilliance as she smiled, causing Song Guanchao to be montarily entranced.

She packed the beef she picked out and handed it to the staff to weigh.

The staff weighed it, affixing the price tag.

Wu Qiangwei placed the beef into the shopping cart and continued forward without speaking a word.

Song Guanchao also remained silent, just quietly following by her side.

After paying, Wu Qiangwei was about to pick up the shopping bags when Song Guanchao grabbed them first, grinning and said, "They are quite heavy; let carry them."

Wu Qiangwei didn’t speak, which he took as a silent agreent.

Song Guanchao felt a slight relief in his heart; he knew that he had played his chess move correctly!

He guessed that after their eting that morning, Secretary Wu must have started paying attention to him.

Perhaps, she had even gone through his profile.

Leaving the supermarket, the two of them walked towards the governnt compound.

But Wu Qiangwei still did not speak.

Song Guanchao, who had studied psychology during his university days, knew this was the usual tactic of leaders.

Face everything without hurrying to take a stand, until the other party’s ntality changes and they break the stalemate voluntarily.

Plainly speaking, it was about wanting to hold the initiative.

Under normal circumstances, Song Guanchao had plenty of patience.

Of course, he also had patience now.

But he needed to play along, after all, she was the leader.

Even if pretending, he had to appear anxious.

So, when they were about to reach the entrance of the governnt compound, Song Guanchao spoke up, "Secretary Wu, you need a secretary."

Wu Qiangwei’s lips curled up slightly, and she was actually quite surprised.

She thought that Song Guanchao would bring it up at the supermarket, but he waited until they were nearly at the doorway. He really was patient.

"The secretarial office will arrange it," she said indifferently, her tone revealing no emotion.

"Secretary Wu, would you dare to use soone arranged by the Secretarial Office?"

"Hmm?" Wu Qiangwei raised her eyebrows slightly, glancing at him from the corner of her eye.

Song Guanchao imdiately said, "Secretary Wu, what you need now is a secretary with a clean background, one without entanglents in Lingjiang City’s official circles. And I happen to be suitable."

"You?" Wu Qiangwei chuckled softly.

Her laugh seed to convey his presumptuousness.

Song Guanchao knew he had to do sothing then.

Wu Qiangwei agreeing to et him, willing to talk with him, gave him an opportunity.

Now, it depended on whether he could seize it!

He was very clear that this was his chance to change his current situation!

It was also the first test Wu Qiangwei had for him!

Being clean wasn’t enough to win Wu Qiangwei’s favor.

He had to drop a bombshell!

"The person who reported Li Fuhai was !"

"You?"

The sa response, yet a completely different tone.

For the first ti, surprise, and doubt, appeared on Wu Qiangwei’s face.

Song Guanchao candidly explained how Li Fuhai had frad him and how he had found evidence against him.

After listening, Wu Qiangwei’s mind was like a stormy sea.

She hadn’t expected that the USB drive Secretary Xu had given her had actually co from this young man before her.

And yet, it took only one day.

But she quickly grasped the most important issue in the whole matter.

"How did you know Li Fuhai was going to fra you?"

"Zhang Ming told ."

"Zhang Ming..." She pondered for a mont and said, "Li Fuhai’s secretary?"

"Yes."

"Was he sold out by Li Fuhai as well?"

"Secretary Wu’s thinking is very sharp."

Though it was a complint, Wu Qiangwei slightly furrowed her brows, seeming not quite comfortable with being praised in such a manner.

Wu Qiangwei suddenly sneered, "Climbing walls, breaking into rooms, stealing from safes, reporting your imdiate superior. Song Guanchao, who would dare to employ soone like you?"

Song Guanchao’s mouth twitched. Does this woman have a problem with her brain?

He contemplated that he hadn’t left out any crucial information; his words were clear enough.

Any normal person would have said, "Impressive courage, well done."

But this woman’s focus was so damn bizarre!

He took a deep breath, suppressing the annoyance inside, and said, "I did it to protect myself. Even a dog jumps the wall when desperate, let alone a person."

"Moreover, didn’t Secretary Wu also use the evidence I reported to show Lingjiang city officials who’s boss?"

"In that respect, it’s Secretary Wu who owes a favor."

Wu Qiangwei raised an eyebrow; she found this guy indeed had extraordinary boldness.

A driver, yet daring to speak to a secretary in such a tone.

Seeing that Wu Qiangwei remained silent for a long ti, Song Guanchao took out an envelope pre-arranged from his back pocket and handed it over: "This is the evidence of Li Fuhai’s embezzlent."

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

Wu Qiangwei reached out and took it, and Song Guanchao inside felt relieved.

The gamble paid off!

Wu Qiangwei didn’t open the envelope but asked instead, "What else do you have in your possession?"

"Nothing else."

"Nothing else?"

"Mm."

Wu Qiangwei stared into his eyes, trying to discern whether he was lying.

Song Guanchao t her gaze calmly, without a trace of evasion, only honesty.

"Let’s go."

Wu Qiangwei started walking towards the governnt compound, with Song Guanchao quickly following.

About ten minutes later, Wu Qiangwei stopped outside a two-story Little Red Building, opened the door, and went inside.

Song Guanchao stood at the doorway, handing over a shopping bag that was heavy in his grasp.

Wu Qiangwei took it, not even turning back as she said, "Co over to report for work tomorrow."

"Understood!" Song Guanchao stood up straight, barely able to conceal his inner joy.

Persistence pays off, he finally made it!

Little Red Building.

Wu Qiangwei opened the envelope Song Guanchao had brought.

Inside the envelope, there was a piece of paper and five bank cards.

On the paper, there were recorded passwords and balances for each bank card.

This was Song Guanchao’s token of fealty.

But, to her, such things were neither here nor there.

What Wu Qiangwei was truly curious about was whether Song Guanchao had kept more evidence at his disposal.

Li Fuhai, as the Vice Mayor, must have had accomplices in his years of embezzlent and bribery.

Didn’t he have any evidence of those complicit with him?

She guessed that Song Guanchao certainly kept so back.

But she knew Song Guanchao didn’t trust her enough yet to hand over everything without reservation.

Of course, she didn’t mind Song Guanchao having reservations—they had only just t, after all.

From their interactions today, her impression of Song Guanchao was not bad.

Refusing him in the morning was also a test for him.

He didn’t disappoint her.

He was a person with a clear head, clear thinking, and strong execution.

And also, as that old leader said, his abilities were very strong!
