Official Career Storm Chapter 163

Song Guanchao agreed, and Zhou Qian quietly breathed a sigh of relief, a smile appearing on her face.

"Let’s get it straight—this interview is going to be a long-term thing."

"Long-term?"

"Of course, I’ll need to update it periodically to deepen my understanding of you."

"I might not be able to spare that much ti."

"Don’t worry, it won’t take up too much of your ti, and it will certainly be arranged according to your schedule. We’ll do the interview whenever you’re free."

"Okay."

"Tell , what do you want to do for you?"

Song Guanchao then explained the reason he had asked for her help.

Just by hearing his simple description, Zhou Qian understood what he wanted to do.

A parking spot by the roadside, a fire departnt engaging in corruption, a uniform signage...

Not a single one of these issues was simple.

Even without digging deeper, she could guess that behind these problems, the shadow of public power almost certainly lood.

And it wasn’t sothing ordinary officials could have orchestrated.

She suspected that at a minimum, it involved soone at the level of the district committee secretary.

Zhou Qian said, "I can dig up the news, but the station might not allow to broadcast it."

Song Guanchao responded, "I’ll take care of the TV station."

"Then there’s no problem," Zhou Qian asked, "By the way, how deep do you want to dig?"

"The deeper, the better!" Song Guanchao exclaid.

Zhou Qian said, "This could potentially involve leaders at the Vice Mayor level. Are you sure you want to dig that deep?"

"Dig!" Song Guanchao suddenly beca excited, "Don’t even ntion the Vice Mayor, if it’s the Mayor behind it, dig just the sa!"

He wasn’t afraid of high-ranking officials being involved; he was afraid they weren’t!

The higher, the better!

Zhou Qian was sowhat shocked, not knowing exactly what Song Guanchao wanted to do.

Dredging up dirt was the last thing officials wanted.

But Song Guanchao was deliberately doing the opposite.

Didn’t he know that by acting this way, he was likely to attract danger?

He must have known, yet he still wanted to proceed.

Looking at the resolute expression of the man before her, it seed as though there was nothing that could shake him.

Zhou Qian was montarily spellbound.

This man was different from any other man she had t.

It seed he truly did not know what fear was.

Facing ard robbers, he fearlessly threw himself at them, not once considering the possibility of gunshots.

Facing the chaos of officialdom, he was equally reckless.

The more she interacted with this man, the more curious she beca, eager to know everything about him.

"Okay, then I’ll help you," Zhou Qian said with a smiling expression.

...

In the office.

Wu Qiangwei received a call from her best friend Bai Ruyi.

"Qiangwei, I’ve already chosen the location," Bai Ruyi said proudly.

Wu Qiangwei sighed, feeling touched.

Her own help to Bai Ruyi was actually very limited; it was Bai Ruyi’s exceptional abilities that allowed her to grow from a small clothing store to a large company valued at several billion.

Yet, even so, upon learning that Wu Qiangwei had been transferred to Lingjiang City, Bai Ruyi still ca promptly, wanting to help boost Lingjiang’s economy.

However, the current business environnt in Lingjiang was not very welcoming.

But Bai Ruyi was soone with strong opinions, and once she decided on sothing, it was difficult for others to change her mind.

"Where?"

"Dujang County," Bai Ruyi said. "I’ve done so research, and it seems that Dujiang County is in the process of withdrawing from being a county to beco a city, but it’s still lacking a bit when it cos to non-agricultural industry employees. I plan to invest in a factory there to boost manufacturing and create employnt opportunities."

Wu Qiangwei asked, "Have you communicated with the leaders of Dujiang County?"

"I’ve t with them a few tis, and we’ve basically settled on the basic intentions. The factory location should also be decided within these few days."

"I plan to start with an initial investnt of 30 million, and I’m currently negotiating with local banks."

Wu Qiangwei wanted to ask several tis if she needed help, but ultimately did not speak up.

That was Dujiang County. Even though it was under the jurisdiction of Lingjiang City, there was still a responsible person.

It wasn’t appropriate for her to intervene too much.

Bai Ruyi’s choice of that location clearly indicated that she didn’t want Qingwei to interfere.

But after pondering it over and over, Wu Qiangwei still said, "If there’s anything you need, let know."

"Rest assured, everything is going smoothly. You just wait and see Dujiang County upgrade to a county-level city!"

During her term, if a county under her jurisdiction were to be upgraded to a county-level city, it would be a significant political achievent and would add a prominent mark to her political resu.

After hanging up the phone, Wu Qiangwei still had so concerns.

If the business environnt in Lingjiang City was so poor, could Dujiang County’s be any better?

She found Song Guanchao’s number, was just about to dial out, then suddenly rembered that he hadn’t eaten lunch with her, indicating that he had other arrangents, so she put down her phone.

When she was back at work in the afternoon, she heard Song Guanchao’s voice outside, so she picked up the desk phone and said, "Co in for a mont."

Song Guanchao pushed the door and entered, "Secretary, were you looking for ?"

Seeing that her teacup was empty, Song Guanchao picked up the kettle to top it off with hot water before sitting down.

Wu Qiangwei said, "I heard you and the Vice Mayor of Dujiang County were college classmates?"

Song Guanchao was surprised; how did you know that?

Who told you?

He nodded, "College classmates."

"How is your relationship?"

"Pretty good."

"Can you trust her?"

"I can trust her."

He was very certain about that.

It wasn’t because he had once spent a night with Fu Ying.

Fu Ying, a girl who ca from a poor family and had beco a Vice Mayor at such a young age, and was still holding onto her integrity.

Clearly, she had made it on her own rit.

And most likely, she had been spotted by so leader who planned to cultivate her carefully.

Combining that with what she had said about being marginalized in the county, it was clear that she was a breath of fresh air in Dujiang County, which was why she was not fitting in well.

If even she couldn’t be trusted, then Song Guanchao felt that there was no one trustworthy in the entire Dujiang County.

Wu Qiangwei said, "Prepare a research proposal for . When I have ti, I’ll accompany you on a trip to Dujiang County."

Song Guanchao was surprised, "Secretary, isn’t this too hasty?"

The city isn’t clear yet, and you’re already eager to go down to the county?

Wu Qiangwei just said one sentence, "Dujiang County is preparing for the transformation from a county to a city."

Song Guanchao understood that the Secretary wanted to ensure that Dujiang County didn’t encounter any chaos at this critical juncture.

As he was leaving the office, Xu Xin ca over again.

"Secretary Song, this is a docunt sent from Mayor Zheng."

Song Guanchao took a special look and noticed that Xu Xin had indeed put on makeup, and she had also undone an extra button on her shirt collar, allowing a glimpse of a charming view through the creased neckline.

Next to him, Zeng Li rolled her eyes, playing with her phone.

"Alright, thank you."

Song Guanchao took the docunt, and Xu Xin left.

If it weren’t for Zeng Li’s reminder, he would have had a hard ti confirming Xu Xin’s subtle details.

Because she was so good at maintaining just the right distance—never lingering too long or engaging in idle chat—it didn’t show on the surface that she was flirting.

From this, it was clear that Xu Xin was highly skilled!

He delivered the docunt inside, and just as he was about to leave, Wu Qiangwei said, "Sit down for a mont."
