Official Career Storm Chapter 720

Secretary Song?

Hearing this title, both showed a look of confusion.

Director Huang glanced at Yang Kangji, seeing him equally puzzled, couldn’t help but twitch at the corner of his eye.

First of all, since Director Xie ntioned it was Secretary Song, then Yang Kangji must have offended him.

But from Yang Kangji’s expression, it was obvious he didn’t know who this so-called Secretary Song was.

That is to say, this guy offended the other party but didn’t know when he did it.

Damn it...

Does this guy have a pig’s brain on his shoulders?

Director Xie was also bewildered.

These two, one is the head of the National Developnt and Reform Commission and the other is the deputy, yet they don’t know who Secretary Song is?

If it were a different city, it could be excused, but this is Lingjiang.

In Lingjiang, if you haven’t even heard of Secretary Song, it’s really inexcusable.

This also shows, from another perspective, the arrogance of the National Developnt and Reform Commission.

As a small governnt, there are very few who can influence them, or who are worth their attention.

Director Xie quietly shook his head, thinking that this group from the National Developnt and Reform Commission was excessively arrogant.

They’re rely a city bureau, not a provincial departnt, yet they carry themselves with such airs.

Director Xie put down his teacup and said, "I’m heading back now."

At another ti, he might have taken the opportunity to foster so rapport with Director Huang.

But now, well, forget it.

This maneuver by Secretary Song was basically pounding the National Developnt and Reform Commission into submission on the ground, and going up to them now would be like offending Song Guanchao.

No need, no need.

"I’ll see Director Xie off."

They escorted Director Xie downstairs before turning around and heading back.

Director Huang looked at Yang Kangji again, and from his expression knew that he had realized who this Secretary Song was.

Back in the office, Director Huang said, "Let’s hear it, which Secretary Song did you offend?"

Yang Kangji said, "I think it might be Secretary Wu’s secretary, Song Guanchao."

"Him?"

Director Huang was taken aback.

Of course, he knew Song Guanchao.

A prominent figure in Lingjiang’s political scene.

"What do you an, ’might be’? Are you certain or not?"

"Should be certain..."

"How did you offend him?"

"When did you offend him?"

"Why on earth would you go and offend him?"

Director Huang’s urgent interrogation put imnse pressure on Yang Kangji.

Not daring to hide anything, he confessed the situation to Director Huang.

After hearing the ins and outs, Director Huang really felt like slapping him.

"You are truly an utter fool!"

"Mayor Zheng tells you to do sothing, and you just do it?"

"Do you not use your brain before acting?"

Yang Kangji said, "He is the Mayor after all..."

"Mayor my ass!" Director Huang said, "Are you not aware of Zheng Bihui’s situation? He’s just a sidelined deputy, the one who actually runs the City Governnt is Mayor Jiang! You’ve been at the National Developnt and Reform Commission for so many years, and you still can’t tell the difference?"

Yang Kangji’s lips trembled, trying to say sothing in defense, but ultimately said nothing.

Director Huang suddenly sneered and said, "Yang Kangji, don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to!"

"What has Zheng Bihui promised you?"

"Did he say he’d put you in my position as director? Or promise to transfer you to the provincial level, or recomnd you as mayor when he steps down?"

Yang Kangji was startled and imdiately stood up, "Director Huang, what are you talking about, no, there’s absolutely nothing like that!"

"You know yourself whether or not it’s true."

Director Huang snorted coldly, "Don’t try to flaunt your petty tricks in front of ."

"Don’t you know how much weight Zheng Bihui carries?"

"He dares to make promises, and you dare to believe them."

"Matters like these, you don’t discuss with , nor with Mayor Jiang, you just do them in private. Yang Kangji, you’re getting bolder by the day!"

"I don’t think this audit office visit is necessarily Secretary Song’s idea."

"Secretary Song is just a secretary, without Mayor Jiang’s nod, can he mobilize the audit office?"

"Would Director Xie listen to him?"

Yang Kangji felt more and more flustered inside, "Director Huang, do you an to say that it’s Mayor Jiang..."

"I said no such thing."

Director Huang interrupted him, smiling vaguely, "But do you think Mayor Jiang knows about what you did?"

"I, I... Director Huang, Mayor Zheng really didn’t promise anything."

"You better go explain yourself to Mayor Jiang."

Director Huang lit up a cigarette, not even looking at him, "See if Mayor Jiang is willing to forgive a backstabbing dog like you."

Yang Kangji wanted to say sothing, but Director Huang waved him off, "Don’t be an eyesore in front of . Handle this matter yourself. If you can’t and the Disciplinary Committee or audit catches you slipping, then face dismissal or imprisonnt as needed."

Yang Kangji felt utterly downcast, but he also knew that what he had done this ti had already touched Director Huang’s bottom line.

Whether or not it had touched Mayor Jiang’s bottom line was still uncertain.

Watching him leave, Director Huang snorted coldly.

This foolish idiot, ssing around behind his back, causing a scandal, almost dragging him down with him.

The most taboo thing in politics is betting on both sides.

Since he chose to align with Mayor Jiang, he absolutely shouldn’t be involved with Zheng Bihui.

If Zheng Bihui approached them in private about anything, it should be reported to Mayor Jiang.

This Yang Kangji, sitting in the deputy director’s position for too long, beca restless and developed ambitions.

He didn’t know what exactly Zheng Bihui had promised Yang Kangji, nor was he curious.

He only knew that this guy was finished.

Even if things seed to blow over this ti, Mayor Jiang wouldn’t place importance on him again.

For an intangible promise, sacrificing one’s future, such behavior is utterly foolish.

He stubbed out the cigarette he had taken a few drags of and grabbed the phone to dial Fang Wei’s number.

"Hello, Secretary Fang, is Mayor Jiang at the City Governnt?"

"Just returned."

"Alright, please tell Mayor Jiang that I have sothing to report."

"Okay."

About two minutes later, Fang Wei called back, "Mayor Jiang is a bit busy, whatever you have, you can just tell ."

Director Huang’s heart sank.

Usually, no matter how busy Mayor Jiang was, he would see him.

Even if he was eting soone else, he would let him wait outside and see him once the eting was over.

But today, he wouldn’t even see him directly.

This made him feel an unease of being neglected and fallen from favor.

He knew it must be because of Yang Kangji.

Cursing Yang Kangji internally, he hung up the phone and rushed to the City Governnt.

Whether or not Mayor Jiang would see him, he had to go.

Perhaps Mayor Jiang knew this matter had nothing to do with him, and neglecting him didn’t necessarily an he had a grudge against him.

But he had to proactively go to admit his mistakes, to show his stance.

This is the most basic professional conduct of a subordinate.

Sotis if a leader is angry, it’s no big deal.

If they’re willing to be angry with you, it ans you’re still of use.

If they can’t even be bothered to scold you, that’s when they’re truly disappointed.

When he arrived at the City Governnt, he happened to see Yang Kangji there too.

"Director Huang, you’re here too." Yang Kangji stood outside the office, whispering during his wait.

Director Huang didn’t even look at him, directly ignoring him.

About ten minutes later, the office door opened.

Just as they were about to step forward, they saw a familiar yet unfamiliar figure walking out of the office.

Director Huang couldn’t quite recognize him, just found him familiar.

Yang Kangji, however, recognized him imdiately.

Song Guanchao!

Mayor Jiang, just now, was eting with Song Guanchao?
