Official Career Storm Chapter 713

Song Guanchao suppressed his anger, chatted with Director Tu for a while, and then hung up the phone.

He furrowed his brows in deep thought, and Director He and others did not disturb him.

In Director He’s opinion, Golden Heaven and Earth followed the rules; this matter was soone deliberately making things difficult.

After all, who could have imagined that the City Construction Bureau had already approved it, and halfway, a National Developnt and Reform Commission would pop up?

The National Developnt and Reform Commission is not an ordinary departnt; it has another nickna— the "small governnt."

This clearly shows the strong influence of the National Developnt and Reform Commission.

If the National Developnt and Reform Commission gets involved in this matter, even Song Guanchao may not be able to handle it and would need Secretary Wu to step in.

"Get in touch with President Lu and ask them to cooperate with the police. Do not start construction until we have all the docunts in hand."

"Alright."

Song Guanchao returned to the office and reported the matter to Wu Qiangwei.

Because it involved the National Developnt and Reform Commission, he couldn’t make decisions on his own.

After hearing about it, Wu Qiangwei said, "First, go understand the specific course of events and see which departnt in the National Developnt and Reform Commission is holding the docunt."

Song Guanchao hesitated and said, "Secretary, perhaps you should handle this."

Wu Qiangwei suddenly laughed, "What, are you scared?"

"Scared?" Song Guanchao shook his head, "I’m only worried I won’t be able to resist causing a scene with the National Developnt and Reform Commission."

Wu Qiangwei held a teacup and said, "If you have a reason, then make a scene. If things get out of hand, I’ll clean it up for you."

Song Guanchao was surprised, feeling a bit touched; the Secretary really was indulging him.

But even with Wu Qiangwei’s indulgence, he couldn’t use it as an excuse to act recklessly.

He shook his head and said, "Let’s not cause a scene, it would look bad."

He was sure that the other side was just trying to delay.

"If it looks bad, it will be their embarrassnt."

Wu Qiangwei said calmly, "The City Developnt and Reform Commission is not the Provincial Departnt. Even if you give him the guts, he might not dare to make it a big deal."

Song Guanchao was puzzled, not quite understanding what this ant.

He raised another doubt: "Secretary, I always feel sothing’s wrong with this matter."

"It’s just a high-speed rail project, is it worth them consistently interfering?"

"As far as I know, Zheng Bihui and the National Developnt and Reform Commission don’t have any significant ties, but he’s willing to invite them to step in just to trouble you."

"Doing this, purely to delay the project and disgust you? Doesn’t the Secretary think he’s making a mountain out of a molehill?"

Wu Qiangwei ran her fingers over the teacup; she had just thought of this point as well.

But like Song Guanchao, she didn’t quite see the key to it either.

It’s just a docunt, and if Song Guanchao steps in, it should basically be resolved.

There’s no way the National Developnt and Reform Commission would specifically go against her over such trivial matters, right?

If they really want to do so, then there has to be so problem with the brain of this National Developnt and Reform Commission director.

"Go ahead, handle this matter carefully on your own."

"Mm."

Song Guanchao stood up and left, gently closing the door behind him.

He sat on the chair and took out his phone to call Liu Lanzi.

Zeng Li propped her head up quietly observing.

She really liked watching Song Guanchao at work; his serious deanor especially attracted her.

"Chairman Liu, are you busy?"

"Go ahead." Liu Lanzi’s voice was gentle.

"Is it only the ’Project Approval Docunt’ for the relocation project that’s still pending?"

"Yes, it’s stuck with the National Developnt and Reform Commission."

"You knew? Didn’t the Housing and Construction Bureau say it’s already approved?"

He thought Liu Lanzi would, like President Lu, act on assurance and directly start the project.

But she surprisingly knew it was stuck with the National Developnt and Reform Commission.

Liu Lanzi said, "The Housing and Construction Bureau conducts the initial review. Under normal circumstances, the National Developnt and Reform Commission just follows the process. But New City Company acts cautiously; they won’t start construction until the docunts are fully approved."

"This docunt was submitted to the National Developnt and Reform Commission by Director Tu last week. Logically, it should have been approved the next day, but I haven’t received a notice so far. It’s clearly stuck."

She said calmly, "I was planning to tell you."

Song Guanchao thought to himself, this woman managed to build the company to its current scale not by re luck.

Without governnt connections, she had to be ticulous and avoid any mistakes.

This cautiousness allowed New City Company to grow step by step to where it is today.

Song Guanchao could imagine how much effort Liu Lanzi put into this company and couldn’t help but feel a bit sorry for her.

"The docunt is indeed stuck with the National Developnt and Reform Commission. I called to remind you, but since you know, there’s no need for to say more."

"You handle the residents’ relocation issues first; I’ll take care of the docunt."

"By the way," Song Guanchao suddenly rembered sothing, "have any people from the National Developnt and Reform Commission contacted you these days?"

"No."

Since there was none, it was pretty much confird that the other party wasn’t using it as a pretext for a bribe but purely to obstruct.

After discussing official business, Liu Lanzi asked, "Are you coming over tonight?"

Song Guanchao felt inexplicably guilty, subconsciously glancing at Zeng Li, "Let’s see, I’m not sure yet."

"If you’re tired, co over. I’ll run a bath for you and give you a massage."

Liu Lanzi, like a shy little wife, said things that made the image of the bathtub in the villa appear involuntarily in Song Guanchao’s mind.

"Alright."

Just as he hung up, Zeng Li said, "You and Chairman Liu have sothing going on."

"???

Damn!

This girl, is she that sensitive?

Just a single glance and she saw through ?

Fortunately, he was experienced and said calmly, "Sothing going on? More than that, it’s been countless tis, all the necessary developnts have been developed."

"Blowhard." Zeng Li pouted, looking unconvinced.

Song Guanchao chuckled; won really are all the sa, the more true sothing is, the less they believe it.

He was about to get up and look for Chu Xiao’e but suddenly sat back down and asked, "Do you know about the National Developnt and Reform Commission?"

"Pretty much." Zeng Li smiled sweetly, "Why, do you have sothing to ask ?"

"Let say first, asking for advice is fine, but I do charge a fee."

As she spoke, she glanced lecherously at Song Guanchao’s crotch.

Song Guanchao silently picked up his thermos cup.

"Go ahead, what do you want to ask."

"The ’Construction Project Approval Docunt’ for the relocation, do you know about it?"

"Yes, I do."

Song Guanchao was completely impressed; these various docunts, those in the City Committee Office who know about them would surely be fewer than ten people.

But these odds and ends, she was so familiar with them, like reciting her family history.

Song Guanchao truly wondered if she graduated from Political and Legal University.

"Which departnt approves this docunt, do you know?"

"Yes, I do." Zeng Li started counting on her fingers and explained in detail: "Generally, it must first be submitted to the construction administration authorities, like the Housing and Construction Bureau."

"Secondly, you need to apply to the corresponding planning departnt for a permit, like the Urban and Rural Planning Departnt."

"Then the Land Administration Bureau is responsible for land approval, and the National Developnt and Reform Commission conducts the final project initiation approval."

Song Guanchao listened with a headache: "Which specific office in the National Developnt and Reform Commission handles the approval?"

"Let think..." Zeng Li thought for two seconds and said, "The one responsible for this part should be the Deputy Director from the Integration Departnt of the Major Projects Office in the city."

Having such a little one at ho is like having a treasure.

Zeng Li was practically his encyclopedia in the political arena.

Song Guanchao rembered and imdiately got up to leave.

"Hey, this is chargeable; don’t skip the bill!"

"Don’t worry, I’ll rember, and I’ll pay you back when I have ti!"

Song Guanchao waved his hand without looking back.
