Official Career Storm Chapter 395

Liang Hao was still a bit groggy as he left the conference room.

"Is this the ’great show’ Song Guanchao was talking about?"

What a damn fine show indeed!

The slot for Dujiang County had actually been reversed!

And it was Zhang ilin, personally recomnded by Secretary Tu.

He was extrely curious about how Song Guanchao managed to do it.

He really wanted to make a call and ask.

But he guessed Song Guanchao probably wouldn’t tell him.

Because this affair had only just begun.

Mayor Zheng and Secretary Lu obviously wouldn’t let it go so easily.

But whatever the case, Song Guanchao had the upper hand in this battle.

In the parking lot,

Mayor Zheng, with a cigarette in hand, watched Secretary Lu leaving the building.

Knowing Zheng was waiting for him, Lu had barely approached when Zheng said, "Secretary Lu, are you just going to put up with this?"

Secretary Lu’s smile was gone by now: "What else can I do?"

The deal was done, nothing could change it now.

Mayor Zheng said, "If you can’t get the County Party Secretary position, there’s still the County Mayor!"

"Secretary Lu, if you’re willing to fight for it, I want the County Mayor role, and I’ll give you Huayuan District. How about that?"

"Let’s talk about it later," Secretary Lu did not imdiately agree.

There was still so ti before the matter of the County Mayor was decided, no need to rush the decision now.

Mayor Zheng gave a contemptuous snort, "The high-speed rail project, I’ve already made arrangents on my side, Secretary Lu, please don’t interfere."

Secretary Lu shook his head, "Let’s talk about it later."

Mayor Zheng started to get annoyed: "What do you an, Secretary Lu? Are you really trying to compete with ?"

"What competition? You are so busy normally, I should help you share so of the burden. I think Xiao Sun perford quite well in the recent survey."

"Mayor Zheng, you shouldn’t handle everything alone. You’re just the Mayor, there will always be things you can’t manage."

"Moreover, there’s another Mayor Jiang at the city governnt. You, ah, need to clarify who is your friend, and who is your foe."

Mayor Zheng’s eyes flickered, he said, "Okay, let’s talk later."

After getting into his car, Mayor Zheng pondered over Secretary Lu’s words.

Who is a friend, and who is an enemy?

Was he reminding that Jiang Yuan is planning to move against ?

Mayor Zheng narrowed his eyes, suddenly recalling sothing.

The money and gold in the trunk of Song Guanchao’s car had been planted by his people.

But he wasn’t the one who reported Liang Hao.

It wasn’t him, nor was it Secretary Lu.

At the ti, he was wondering, apart from him and Secretary Lu, who else could it be?

Clearly, Secretary Lu had already guessed who it was.

The conversation just then was a reminder to him.

The one who reported Liang Hao was very likely Jiang Yuan!

This Deputy Mayor, the second-in-command of the city governnt, was the real opportunist, making the already chaotic scene even more tumultuous.

As for why Jiang Yuan would report it, Mayor Zheng could guess, but he didn’t care.

He only knew that Jiang Yuan was not content.

As the Mayor, he seed to be gradually gaining control of the city governnt’s power.

But he was well aware that the true head of the city governnt was still Jiang Yuan.

The mont he showed any intention to take complete control of the city governnt, Jiang Yuan would make his move.

Just like Secretary Lu said, he now needed to figure out who was an enemy and who was a friend.

Obviously, Secretary Lu was his friend.

However, he was also clear that he and Secretary Lu were competitors.

But competition does not preclude cooperation.

And he didn’t have many other choices.

"Huff~"

Mayor Zheng exhaled softly.

Secretary Lu had said all this because he wanted to get his hands on the high-speed rail project.

Zheng had initially wanted to push back and take the project for himself.

But now, there was no turning back.

He had to release so benefits to Secretary Lu; otherwise, he really wouldn’t have a single friend left.

...

Inside the office, Wu Qiangwei was talking to Minister Zhou.

"Minister Zhou, thank you for this ti."

Regardless of his intentions, Minister Zhou had turned the tide in her favor at the Standing Committee eting, easing her situation.

Minister Zhou looked puzzled, "Thank ?"

Wu Qiangwei was even more suspicious. What kind of reaction was that from Minister Zhou?

After hesitating for a mont, Wu Qiangwei asked directly, "Wasn’t it Minister Zhou who won Secretary Tu over?"

Minister Zhou was silent for a long ti.

Originally, when Song Guanchao had co to him, he thought it was Wu Qiangwei’s idea.

But from Wu Qiangwei’s reaction at the mont, it seed this matter had nothing to do with her.

Was it Song Guanchao’s own idea?

Initially, Minister Zhou was quite impressed with him.

After all, it was rare for a subordinate to gamble with his own future for the sake of his leader.

Now, he was even more impressed with Song Guanchao.

Without Wu Qiangwei’s involvent, it was a decision Song Guanchao had made on his own.

"No," Minister Zhou shook his head, "it was Secretary Song who fought for it."

"Song Guanchao?" Wu Qiangwei almost lost her composure.

The answer was completely unexpected.

"Hmm."

Minister Zhou said, "Since Secretary Song has not ntioned it to Secretary Wu, it’s not convenient for to say more. If Secretary Wu wants to know, she should ask him herself."

"I’ll be leaving now."

It wasn’t until Minister Zhou reached the door that Wu Qiangwei ca back to her senses, hastily getting up, "Let see you out..."

After seeing off Minister Zhou, Wu Qiangwei sat in her chair, still unable to snap out of the shock from the answer she received.

It was Song Guanchao, he was the one who went to Tu Zhaorui.

How did he manage to do that?

And why did he do it?

He was under investigation at the ti, and the most sensible thing for him to do was to wait, not to seek out Tu Zhaorui.

The whirlwind of complicated thoughts ca to a halt, ultimately pointing to a truth she dared not confront.

"He did it for ."

Wu Qiangwei’s gaze was filled with complexity.

"Knock knock."

Zeng Li pushed the door open, "Secretary, Director Qin is looking for you."

Wu Qiangwei composed herself, "Please let him in."

Director Qin ca in and sat down, going straight to the point, "Secretary, the incident where Secretary Song got into a fight in Dujiang County should be classified by now, right?"

There was video evidence, the proof was conclusive. To drag it out any longer would be inappropriate.

Plus, a warning punishnt—he thought there was really no need to push against the provincial authorities.

Since it had already been brought up at today’s Standing Committee, he believed Wu Qiangwei wouldn’t continue to stall.

Yet, Wu Qiangwei’s answer was beyond his expectation.

"Classified? How to classify?"

Wu Qiangwei said, "I’ve seen the video. Secretary Song did make a move, but have you clarified why he did it? Have you confird the identities of the three n he fought with?"

"Did you investigate the identity of the woman in the office there?"

Director Qin’s mouth hung open for a while before he said, "No..."

"Then let the Dujiang County Public Security Bureau investigate it! Get the facts straight!"

Director Qin realized Wu Qiangwei was still not willing to give up.

Even a warning punishnt, she didn’t want Song Guanchao to bear it.

"Alright, I’ll contact the county bureau right now."

Director Qin felt frustrated; a re fight had been causing delays for over a week.

After he left, Wu Qiangwei called for Zeng Li.

"Secretary Song has been disciplined," Wu Qiangwei told her directly.

Zeng Li already knew, but she pretended to be hearing it for the first ti, surprised, "Ah? Why?"

Wu Qiangwei said, "That night, he drove you to Dujiang County and got into a fight with a few people, which was classified as a brawl."

"That wasn’t a brawl!" Zeng Li said indignantly, "Those guys were thugs; they were unlawfully detaining soone. Secretary Song intervened to rescue them, it was an act of chivalry!"
