Official Career Storm Chapter 192

"Feng Hongtao, 31 years old, Deputy Director of Peijiaqiao Police Station."

This was Chu Xiao’e’s recomndation.

Song Guanchao asked, "What is your relationship with him?"

Chu Xiao’e said, "He is my cousin."

"Your maternal cousin?"

"My paternal cousin."

"Paternal cousin?"

If it were a maternal cousin, the relationship would be very close.

A paternal cousin, considering her generation, wasn’t very close, but it wasn’t considered distant either.

However, extending that to the son of a paternal cousin definitely made the relationship a bit more distant.

Although not beyond the fifth degree of kinship, in most families, this relationship basically had no interactions.

Chu Xiao’e knew what he was worried about and said, "My direct relatives aren’t very ambitious, and they hope I can help them get into so positions, but I have ignored them."

"Feng Hongtao, though he is my paternal cousin’s son, he is upright and ambitious. He beca a police officer through his own efforts; I didn’t help him."

Then, she added, "Nobody knows about his relationship with , and he has never ntioned it to anyone else either."

When one person gains power, everyone around them benefits—many leaders within the system like to arrange for their relatives to enter various systems.

Chu Xiao’e’s relatives were no exception.

But she was clear-headed and had her own principles.

Her principle was, if you want to be a civil servant, fine, take the exam yourself.

If they managed to pass, she would give a nod to the leaders to keep an eye on them.

But that was rely keeping an eye.

However, over the years, none of her direct relatives ever passed, so naturally, she didn’t need to pay any attention.

In contrast, her paternal cousin’s son beca a police officer.

But this cousin never actively asked her for help; he only visited during the holidays and brought so ordinary gifts.

She admired this cousin’s character and deanor, so though they weren’t closely linked by blood, if there was a real need, Chu Xiao’e would definitely lend a hand.

For instance, this ti, when Song Guanchao gave her the authority to recomnd soone for the position of branch chief, her first thought was of this cousin.

Song Guanchao nodded, "I understand."

After leaving Chu Xiao’e’s office, he prepared to visit the hospital.

"Secretary Song," Xu Xin approached him, blocking his path.

She looked around and whispered, "Secretary Song, I have sothing to tell you."

As they walked down the corridor, Xu Xin said, "This morning, when I went to the city governnt to deliver docunts, I heard Mayor Zheng raging in his office."

Song Guanchao asked, "For what reason?"

Xu Xin said, "It appears to be because of Hui Po Company."

"Ah?"

Hui Po Company, what does it have to do with Mayor Zheng?

Xu Xin didn’t leave him guessing and continued, "Mayor Zheng has recently been attracting foreign investnts and eting with many foreign investors. Soone told Mayor Zheng that the issues with Hui Po Company might make foreign investors wary of investing in Lingjiang due to a potentially unfavorable business environnt. So, Mayor Zheng was very angry."

Song Guanchao suddenly realized the crux of the matter.

Smiling, he asked, "Did Mayor Zheng ntion Secretary Wu?"

Xu Xin hesitated for a mont and nodded, "He did, he thinks..."

"What does he think? Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone."

"He thinks that Secretary Wu might be targeting him."

Xu Xin had just finished speaking when she imdiately added, "Secretary Song, these were Mayor Zheng’s exact words. And I overheard them from outside his office, I... Although Mayor Zheng promoted , in reality, I have no private interactions with him."

She was vigorously attempting to dissociate herself from Mayor Zheng.

This surprised Song Guanchao.

Judging by her expression and reaction, she was telling the truth, without lying.

However, Song Guanchao couldn’t easily believe it.

Who knew whether she was using this as a ans to gain his trust.

Just as she said, she was promoted by Mayor Zheng.

So whether she has private dealings with the Mayor or not, it’s hard to shake off that label.

His scrutinizing gaze brought a bitterness to Xu Xin’s heart.

She knew that Song Guanchao wouldn’t let his guard down and trust her based on a few simple words.

"Okay, I understand."

Song Guanchao nodded and said, "Director Xu, you should go back. I have so matters to attend to."

Whether Mayor Zheng gets angry or not, Song Guanchao doesn’t care.

But obviously, this news was deliberately released by Director Qin, trying to divert the bla and use Mayor Zheng to pressure Secretary Wu.

This move was quite despicable, but undeniably effective.

If nothing unexpected happens, Mayor Zheng will definitely want to et Wu Qiangwei in the next couple of days.

No, he wants to et Wu Qiangwei today.

Because Zhang Xiaoming had a traffic accident!

Mayor Zheng was actively attracting investnt everywhere, trying to boost Lingjiang’s economy.

At this ti, Wu Qiangwei was focusing on Hui Po Company.

Regardless of her actual intentions, her actions had brought the issues of Lingjiang’s business environnt to the forefront.

And this was precisely what Mayor Zheng did not want to see.

Song Guanchao arrived at the hospital, and Zhang Xiaoming was still undergoing ergency treatnt.

"Still in ergency?"

Upon seeing Director Qin, Song Guanchao frowned and asked.

It had been almost an hour since he was brought to the hospital.

Yet the ergency treatnt had not finished.

How severe were the injuries?

Director Qin showed him photos from the accident scene, and Song Guanchao inhaled sharply.

After being hit by a large truck, the car was then struck head-on by another SUV on the opposite side and finally stopped against the cent guardrail of the green belt.

Zhang Xiaoming’s vehicle was severely deford, with the passenger cabin crushed into a thin sheet.

The fact that he was still alive and brought in for ergency treatnt was already a miracle.

Director Qin said, "Director Zhang ran a red light, the large truck was operating normally, and the other SUV was also operating normally."

Ran a red light?

Song Guanchao pondered in silence.

He couldn’t help but suspect whether Director Qin had had a hand in it.

After all, the main cause of the accident was Zhang Xiaoming running a red light.

In other words, if he had been driving normally, this accident would not have happened.

Song Guanchao asked, "Have the legal representatives and related personnel of Hui Po Company been controlled?"

"They have been arrested and are now in the interrogation phase."

Director Qin said, "Secretary Song, don’t worry. I’m personally following this case, and I will definitely satisfy Secretary Wu!"

Song Guanchao smiled and said, "Secretary Wu’s aning is very simple, just make them spit out the money they swallowed, and that’ll be enough."

In fact, Song Guanchao also understood that they wouldn’t spit it out, and he wanted to advise Wu Qiangwei, but due to Zhang Xiaoming’s accident, Wu Qiangwei was fuming.

Not to ntion spitting out the money, she even wanted to arrest Director Qin directly!

Director Qin’s heart was bleeding.

The businesses operated by Hui Po Company were truly profit-making without capital!

The land belonged to the state, and they simply had to draw a few lines to make money while lying down.

Over the years, besides paying public relations expenses to various departnts, Hui Po Company’s annual net profit was counted in billions!

Spitting all that out... was easier said than done!

Director Qin clenched his teeth and said, "I will try my best!"

Song Guanchao sneered internally and said, "Director Qin, it’s not about trying, it’s a must!"

"Secretary Wu said this case should not have a far-reaching impact. But..."

He paused and said, "The premise of not having a far-reaching impact is that they can spit out the money! If they can’t spit it out, Director Qin, you’ll have to take the trouble to properly investigate whether this company and so leaders of certain departnts have connections of interests."

Director Qin’s heart violently convulsed, and the ssage was clear: if you don’t spit out the money, you’re going in!
