Official Career Storm Chapter 651

Song Guanchao gave up resisting.

But he still exercised restraint.

Just like she said, a little touch was enough.

Zeng Li tried for a long ti, but couldn’t break through his hands, angrily biting his lip.

After more than half an hour of dawdling, she was tired too, and gave a soft hum as she pushed him away, "Not playing anymore."

Song Guanchao awkwardly smiled, grabbed his clothes, and quickly put them on.

After leaving the hotel, the two returned to the City Committee.

With a plan in mind, Song Guanchao didn’t want to waste any ti.

Halfway there, he called Director He, asking them to co to the eting room imdiately for a eting.

He had been busy all morning, and Song Guanchao hadn’t even eaten lunch, yet he didn’t feel hungry.

When entering the eting room, everyone was already there.

Song Guanchao sat down and said, "How many residential areas are refusing to be demolished?"

Director He said, "17 self-built housing areas, and two comrcial housing areas."

"How many households in the Puzhu Road residential area?"

"322 households."

"Notify them now, the final negotiations will be held tomorrow morning."

Song Guanchao glanced at his watch and said, "Before leaving today, make sure they’re inford, any problem?"

Director He, with a refreshed spirit, wondered if Secretary Song had found a solution.

"No problem!"

"Also, Director He, Director Qi... you both gather twenty people each, to et at Puzhu Road at nine-thirty tomorrow morning."

"Alright."

"eting adjourned."

After the eting, so mbers of the small teams from each departnt approached, saying, "Secretary Song, have you co up with a solution?"

"Yes."

Song Guanchao glanced at them.

To be honest, in the entire project team, there were few he could truly trust.

So, he didn’t plan to tell them his plan for now.

Not waiting for them to question further, he said, "You’ll know tomorrow."

After leaving the eting room, Song Guanchao headed upstairs, and when he ca out of the elevator, he happened to run into Secretary Sun.

Secretary Sun was talking with a man around thirty years old as they walked.

Seeing Song Guanchao, Secretary Sun maintained a smile and greeted, "Secretary Song."

Clearly, within that smile, Song Guanchao noticed a subtle air of arrogance.

Song Guanchao felt inexplicable.

The man, upon hearing the title, imdiately reached out his hand: "This must be Secretary Song, nice to et you, I’ve heard so much about you."

"Hello."

Song Guanchao didn’t intend to exchange more words with the two; after shaking hands, he left.

After he left, the man said, "Secretary Sun, it’s settled then. Once I arrange a eting with my cousin, I’ll give you a call."

The man was Wu Zongheng, Liu Lanzi’s cousin.

After quietly enduring at Liu Lanzi’s place, he ca to the City Committee to find Secretary Sun.

In Lingjiang’s real estate sector, it’s well-known that the old city redevelopnt project is under Secretary Lu’s charge.

Wu Zongheng originally intended to make a profit from the high-speed rail project, but Liu Lanzi refused to introduce him, and he also heard that Secretary Song was strict and ticulous in his work.

Everyone who has tried to negotiate a private deal with him hasn’t succeeded.

So, he focused on the old city redevelopnt project.

The project is vast; even securing one or two contracts would feed him for years.

Secretary Sun initially didn’t intend to et him, but upon learning he was Liu Lanzi’s cousin, agreed to see him.

In his perspective, it must be because Liu Lanzi was too embarrassed, sending Wu Zongheng to et him instead.

Clearly, Liu Lanzi wasn’t as uninterested in these projects as she claid.

However, recalling those two occasions when he invited Liu Lanzi out only to find her with another man, Secretary Sun felt furious.

Nevertheless, since this woman ca to her senses, he was not petty.

If Liu Lanzi showed genuine sincerity, he wouldn’t mind throwing a few projects her way.

Since Secretary Lu took charge of the old city redevelopnt, Secretary Sun has beco quite the popular figure in both political and business circles.

Lately, his phone was constantly ringing, and dining engagents were endless.

Having been Secretary Lu’s aide for so long, for the first ti, he experienced the deserved treatnt of a chief secretary at the City Committee.

Power, indeed, is intoxicating.

...

Liu Lanzi had just finished a eting.

Song Guanchao asked her to prepare the bidding docunts and relevant qualifications and wait for the project tendering.

New City Company is one of the few companies in Lingjiang seriously engaged in real estate developnt, and their projects are unanimously praised, being a major taxpayer too.

Such companies are highly sought after in any city.

However, Liu Lanzi being a woman, dealing with the governnt is her weak point.

Actually, she has strong interpersonal skills, but her exceptional appearance often leads to unpleasant situations.

This is also why New City Company has missed many sky-rocketing opportunities.

Returning to her office, Ning Lin ca in and said, "Chairman Liu, Wu Zongheng is looking for you."

"I won’t see him."

"He’s refusing to leave downstairs."

Ning Lin knew Chairman Liu’s attitude towards this cousin, but taking advantage of their relationship, he acted recklessly.

"If he won’t leave, then let him stay."

After work, as she exited the elevator, Wu Zongheng ran up, calling her sister.

Liu Lanzi ignored him, got in her car, and drove away.

Wu Zongheng was shaking with anger.

Back ho, after showering, Liu Lanzi lay in bed wearing a face mask.

She picked up her phone which wouldn’t stop ringing, it was "Mom" calling.

Liu Lanzi sighed.

"Hi, Mom."

"I heard from your aunt that your cousin ca to see you today, and you wouldn’t see him?"

Liu Lanzi said nothing.

The woman continued, "How could you do that? Zongheng specially went to see you, and not only didn’t you take him to eat, but you also left him hanging. You’re his sister, how do you think the family will view ? Your aunt was quite upset in her call just now."

"Mom..."

"Zongheng will visit you later, whenever possible, lend him a hand. Don’t let relatives say we’re ungrateful."

"..."

Liu Lanzi threw her phone aside, pulling off her face mask, feeling irritated.

After washing her face, the video intercom buzzed again.

She answered, and the security guard’s voice ca through: "Hello, Chairman Liu, there’s a man nad Wu Zongheng here to see you, says you have an appointnt."

Liu Lanzi hesitated for a few seconds, then said, "Let him in."

A few minutes later.

The doorbell rang.

Liu Lanzi opened the door.

Wu Zongheng’s handso yet detested face ca into view.

He held bags of gifts, smiling broadly as he entered: "Sis, hope I’m not disturbing you?"

Seeing him about to change his shoes, Liu Lanzi said, "If you have sothing to say, say it here, then leave. I need to rest."

Wu Zongheng felt a bit annoyed inside, but needing her help, he kept a low profile.

"Sis, Secretary Sun asked to arrange a al with you, when might you be available?"

Liu Lanzi’s thin brows furrowed as she questioned angrily: "You went to see Secretary Sun?"

"Uh... It was Secretary Sun who asked ..."

"Get out!"

Liu Lanzi’s chest heaved with anger, her silk gown highlighting her curvaceous form.

Wu Zongheng had always harbored desires for his cousin but never dared to express them.

Seeing this raw side of her, he couldn’t help but feel stirred inside.

But all he dared to do was imagine.

"Sis, Secretary Sun has already arranged it, could you give us a chance?"

Liu Lanzi activated the access control system, glaring coldly at him: "Leave on your own, or I’ll call security."

Wu Zongheng’s face twitched, he wanted to throw a few harsh words but held back, turning to leave.

After he left, less than half an hour later, her mother called again.

Liu Lanzi felt rather exhausted, reluctant to answer, but the phone kept ringing persistently.

Upon answering, before she could speak, her mother’s sharp and penetrating scolding voice rang out.
