Official Career Storm Chapter 551

Approximately twenty minutes later, he saw a sowhat unfamiliar face, accompanied by two n in their twenties, quickly approaching.

"Hello..."

"Where is Yang Qingquan?" The visitor was none other than Chu Xiao’e’s cousin, Feng Hongtao.

He was the closest to the municipal governnt and rushed over as soon as he received the news.

The secretary imdiately realized that this was a police officer from Lingjiang City.

"He’s in the office." The secretary helped him open the door to the office.

Yang Qingquan was holding a teacup, reviewing docunts.

Hearing the commotion, he looked up with dissatisfaction, about to scold for not knocking, when he saw the three n storming in with a threatening presence.

Feng Hongtao walked up to the desk and flashed his police badge, "Chief of Fengjiang Branch of Lingjiang City, Feng Hongtao."

"Yang Qingquan, you are under arrest!"

Clatter!

The teacup in his hand dropped onto the table, spilling tea and leaves all over it.

I’m under arrest?

...

Song Guanchao received the news that Yang Qingquan had been successfully captured.

Despite so hiccups, the anti-corruption operation had ultimately proceeded without any real danger.

On the Qu City side, Director Mou had also found the body buried by Lu Xiaotian’s henchn.

The murder case was successfully solved.

This was a perfect collaboration between the Lingjiang City Public Security Bureau and the Qu City Public Security Bureau.

That evening, Song Guanchao and a few others took a flight back to Lingjiang.

At 8:22 PM, a group of six, including Yao Jinsheng and Chen Guanyun, erged from Lingjiang International Airport.

Mayor Jiang Yuan personally ca to pick them up, accompanied by the official dia from both the province and the city.

When they ca out of the airport, the cara flashes dazzled their eyes.

Mayor Jiang stepped forward and shook hands with Song Guanchao, "Secretary Song, you’ve worked hard!"

"On behalf of the City Committee and Municipal Governnt of Lingjiang, I thank you for saving the lives of hundreds!"

Standing calmly in front of the caras, Song Guanchao replied with integrity, "It was Mayor Jiang’s excellent command, I rely followed the leader’s arrangents."

Mayor Jiang felt introspective, despite this young man’s sotis impulsive actions, he truly understood when to push forward and when to hold back in critical situations.

This operation left Song Guanchao with the most credit.

But the proud are prone to disaster, and the tallest tree faces the fiercest wind.

As a re secretary who had repeatedly made noteworthy achievents, while seeming like a good thing, it could also make him a target in others’ eyes.

Another person, in his place, would probably be eager to boast.

But he was able to maintain his true self, not seeking glory or being arrogant, with his words and actions prioritizing the greater good.

Such a person was a leader’s favorite.

Mayor Jiang had mixed feelings, knowing that the young man’s future achievents were imasurable.

"Let’s go, head back first and get a good night’s rest. I’ll hold a celebration for you tomorrow weekend!"

Mayor Jiang patted his hand and looked at him with newfound admiration.

Chen Guanyun and Yao Jinsheng, sitting in their wheelchairs, had ashen faces.

They had beco the backdrop.

They were the stepping stones for Song Guanchao’s ascent!

Back in the city area, Chen Guanyun and Yao Jinsheng were sent to the hospital for treatnt, while Song Guanchao and the others didn’t go ho but were arranged to stay in a guesthouse.

They sat in a private room, eating the als that had been prepared for overti.

Secretary Sun was thrilled, he had made a fortune this ti!

He hadn’t done anything; it was all Song Guanchao at the forefront throughout.

Yet even so, he had garnered a bit of reflected glory.

He was already fantasizing about the mont he would be on stage giving a speech at the comndation ceremony soon.

He even looked at Song Guanchao now and found him much more pleasing to the eye.

"Brother Song, I toast to you!"

Song Guanchao smiled and joined him for a drink.

Secretary Sun then turned to Fu Ying and Lin Wanqiu, "County Magistrate Fu, Miss Lin, I toast to you both!"

Both won lifted their teacups, substituting tea for wine.

Secretary Sun was a little annoyed inside, but he dared not show it.

I knew where I stood, and it was only natural that others wouldn’t think highly of .

After setting down the teacup, Lin Wanqiu raised her glass, "Secretary Song, here’s to you."

Song Guanchao looked at the small one-ounce cup in her hand and said, "Miss Lin, you should drink less. You’ll probably have to run around quite a bit these next few days."

Lin Wanqiu smiled gently, "Secretary Song is very caring."

Song Guanchao felt a bit awkward, aware of the look Fu Ying was giving him.

He chuckled dryly and drained his glass in one gulp.

After Lin Wanqiu finished her toast, Fu Ying also raised her glass, "Secretary Song, here’s to you as well."

"Alright." Song Guanchao dared not make any excuses and swiftly drank up.

Secretary Sun was sour beside them.

Before Song Guanchao ca to the City Committee, he prided himself as the top secretary, charismatic and good-looking.

After he arrived, the City Committee underwent a sea change, and no one took him seriously anymore.

He felt sowhat depressed, burying his head in his al, unwilling to invite further embarrassnt.

After dining and wining, the group stood up to leave.

Because they were in the guesthouse, no matter how madly Fu Ying fancied Song Guanchao, she had to hold back.

Once they returned to their rooms, she started tapping out ssages to chat with Song Guanchao.

"That Miss Lin looked at you quite strangely, huh?"

"Don’t be ridiculous, she’s a journalist from the Ministry of Propaganda. How could she possibly be interested in ?"

"So, you’re interested in her?"

"..." Can’t we have a normal conversation!

Song Guanchao changed the topic: "After Dujiang City’s massive purge, the vacant positions will see the city’s leaders showcasing their talents. You and Secretary Zhang need to coordinate well, striving to keep major power in your hands."

The local faction being wiped out in one swoop was good news for Zhang ilin and Fu Ying.

This allowed them to completely control Dujiang City without worrying about the local faction being insubordinate.

And the officials coming in after were transfers from other places, without ties or power locally.

If they refused to obey, Zhang ilin could simply sideline them.

In other words, the current Zhang ilin was the real power in Dujiang City, holding absolute power!

As long as Zhang ilin himself wasn’t incompetent, Dujiang City would beco his springboard to climbing into the prefecture-level city or provincial governnts.

And for Fu Ying, backed by Song Guanchao and Wu Qiangwei.

As long as they did not make major mistakes, the two of them would only work together more seamlessly.

Should Zhang ilin rise in rank, Fu Ying would also be able to climb higher.

"Are you back?" Wu Qiangwei’s ssage suddenly popped up.

"I’m back."

"Co to the City Committee tomorrow morning, I have sothing to discuss with you."

"It’s the weekend tomorrow, you’re still working, Secretary?"

"Mhm, get so rest early."

The night went by without further conversation.

Early the next day, Fu Ying and Lin Wanqiu were in the buffet restaurant, but did not see Song Guanchao.

He had gotten up early, had breakfast and rushed to the City Committee.

It was only eight-thirty, and Wu Qiangwei was already there.

"Secretary, what did you want to see for?"

"In the next few days, a lot of people are going to contact you. I’m giving you a heads-up not to make any casual promises."

"Contact ?" Song Guanchao was puzzled.

Wu Qiangwei explained, "Nearly all the top and deputy leaders of Dujiang City’s municipal departnts have fallen. These positions are coveted not just by Lingjiang, but also by the provincial capital and other cities."

"One thing that’s certain is that the new leadership team for Dujiang City will be appointed from outside."

"I’ve already received so information that so cities have suggested to the provincial governnt to exclude Lingjiang City from the ’external appointnt’ category."

Song Guanchao frowned, "They’re so shaless?"

Wu Qiangwei was calm, "Such is the nature of officialdom."

"A large-scale anti-corruption movent like Dujiang City’s doesn’t happen often nationwide. Suddenly, with so many positions open, anyone would be tempted. Whether they catch a date or not, it’s worth a shot; even if they don’t get anything, they lose nothing."

"You’ve made great achievents this ti, and in the next few days, a lot of people will contact you, hoping to use your credentials to recomnd leaders to take positions in Dujiang City to the provincial governnt. Keep that in mind and be prepared, so you’re not at a loss when taking calls."

Song Guanchao was still doubtful, "I don’t have that much influence, do I?"

Wu Qiangwei said, "You underestimate your own influence. You were very prominent in this operation. Most importantly, you’re clean and showed a determination to be uncompromising with corruption."

"In other words, you’re like an unsheathed sword, representing fairness and justice. Your recomndation might even carry more weight than even Secretary Lu’s."
