Official Career Storm Chapter 748

At eight in the evening, Song Guanchao stood up and said, "I’m heading ho first. Next ti when I’m not busy, I’ll treat you to dinner."

Zhou Qian was a bit disappointed; she wanted to spend more ti with Song Guanchao.

But today’s situation was rather unusual: two won and one man, making it impossible to do anything with Song Guanchao.

Moreover, she dared not show too much intimacy in front of Wu Yun, fearing she might notice sothing.

"You’re going ho with nothing to do."

Wu Yun suddenly grabbed his arm: "Why not sleep here tonight?"

Truth be told, this suggestion made Song Guanchao sowhat tempted.

But within seconds, he made the decision that he must leave tonight and couldn’t stay.

Who knows if this girl might crawl into his bed in the middle of the night.

Song Guanchao pretended not to hear and said, "I’m leaving now."

Wu Yun pouted, and Zhou Qian hurriedly said, "I’ll see you out."

Leaving the house, while waiting for the elevator, Zhou Qian suddenly whispered his na.

Song Guanchao turned, and Zhou Qian fell into his arms, stood on tiptoe, and kissed him passionately.

Song Guanchao responded with a heated kiss.

They stood in front of the elevator, kissing passionately.

Ding.

The elevator arrived, and they quickly pulled apart.

Luckily, no one was in the elevator.

After exiting the elevator, Zhou Qian was still reluctant to part, her mournful gaze making Song Guanchao feel a bit guilty.

The young girl willingly beca his mistress without asking for status or money, only wanting him for who he is, yet he never proactively contacted Zhou Qian without important matters.

They didn’t even et once in a month.

Song Guanchao looked up at the building and said, "I’ll co over once she goes ho."

Zhou Qian’s eyes lit up and she nodded vigorously: "Then wait for my call."

She walked into the building happily, her joy evident even from her back view.

Song Guanchao got into his car, planning to wait for Wu Yun to leave.

After sitting for about half an hour, he suddenly realized that Wu Yun might see his car when she cos down.

He imdiately started the vehicle and drove to another building.

Around nine-thirty, Zhou Qian sent a ssage: "She’s gone ho."

"Okay."

Song Guanchao didn’t drive, he got out and walked to the building.

Upon entering the elevator, he suddenly felt like he was sneaking around for an affair.

Exiting the elevator, he saw the door open, with Zhou Qian standing at the door, apparently waiting for him all this ti.

Seeing the joy and surprise on her face, Song Guanchao felt his heart lting.

He walked over, hooked her shoulder, and closed the door behind him.

Once inside, before he could act, Zhou Qian took the initiative to unbutton his shirt.

He could clearly feel the heat emanating from her body under her clothes.

Her cheeks still held a blush from drinking, making her look radiant.

Monts later, both were bare, and Song Guanchao carried her towards the bathroom.

Soon, the bathroom was filled with the sound of gentle moans.

The next day.

Monday.

Gao Liangwei’s pre-appointnt public announcent was already over, and early today, he entered the director’s office, becoming the director of Lingjiang City’s Finance Bureau.

Song Guanchao was in the office, reporting the matter of transfer paynts to Wu Qiangwei.

Wu Qiangwei also found it odd, but it was just a feeling, as they discussed for half a day without figuring anything clear.

Returning to the office, seeing Zeng Li in a small suit, Song Guanchao said, "I have sothing to quiz you on."

Zeng Li snorted: "Just ask directly if there’s a question, no need to quiz."

Exposed in one sentence, Song Guanchao awkwardly chuckled and explained the transfer paynt issue to her.

Zeng Li thought for a mont and said, "It is quite strange."

Song Guanchao said, "Could it be for embezzling?"

"Doesn’t seem like it."

Zeng Li said, "The Finance Bureau wouldn’t need to fuss about transfer paynts to embezzle."

"If they wanted to embezzle funds for office expenses, the easiest way is to set up fake accounts during paynts to other departnts and siphon the money out."

"Anyone who becos deputy director wouldn’t be ignorant of these principles."

Song Guanchao said, "According to what you said, Xu Jia isn’t doing this to embezzle?"

"I’ve never seen any Finance Bureau embezzle using this thod."

"If it’s not embezzling, then why does the Finance Bureau need money?"

Zeng Li showed a thoughtful expression.

At this mont, Director He suddenly called.

"You continue thinking; I’ll take this call."

"Hello, Director He... not approved yet?"

"Okay, I got it, I’ll urge them."

Song Guanchao’s expression turned sowhat sour.

The application for demolition funds was stuck at the Finance Bureau!

Bear in mind, the high-speed rail project is one of the city’s key projects, ntioned several tis at the committee eting, urging departnts to cooperate closely and not to block progress.

But half a month has passed since the end of the eviction phase, and the demolition funds still haven’t been released.

He knows it must be Zheng Bihui causing trouble.

In the past, he might have been helpless.

But, Gao Liangwei took office today.

The head of the Finance Bureau is now Wu Qiangwei’s person!

If Zheng Bihui has the nerve, he can try blocking the application’s approval at the Finance Bureau!

Song Guanchao smirked but didn’t contact Gao Liangwei imdiately.

Gao Liangwei just took office and must be attending etings; this is his busiest ti.

Zeng Li saw his expression and curiously asked, "What’s wrong?"

"The demolition funds are stuck at the Finance Bureau."

Song Guanchao said, "Mayor Zheng seems intent on annoying Secretary Wu, deliberately causing trouble since the eviction started."

"Sending people to incite residents to demand exorbitant prices, hindering the eviction progress."

"Contacting the National Developnt and Reform Commission, refusing to approve demolition docunts."

"And now even deliberately holding the demolition funds."

"Hmph!"

Song Guanchao sneered, "But he probably didn’t foresee, that the person who beca Finance Bureau director is Secretary Wu’s person."

"I’m curious to see once Director Gao approves the demolition funds and the application arrives at the City Governnt, what excuses Zheng Bihui will co up with to block the release."

Listening to him, Zeng Li’s brows suddenly furrowed: "He’s been causing trouble since the eviction started?"

"Yes."

"How did he cause trouble?"

"So trivial tricks, it’s all in the past."

"Tell ."

"It was about residents making exorbitant demands."

Seeing her interest, Song Guanchao shared every vexing issue he encountered back then.

As for the National Developnt and Reform Commission holding up the demolition docunts, Zeng Li knew about it, so he didn’t elaborate.

After listening, Zeng Li suddenly asked, "What’s the na of the original Finance Bureau director?"

"Bao Jianhua."

"Did he retire early?"

"Yes."

"He applied for it himself?"

"Yes."

"Do you have any impression of when he applied?"

"Why ask this?" Song Guanchao said, "I rember it was when I got back from Yanjing, during the processing of his early retirent."

Zeng Li calculated the ti: "So it’s roughly half a month ago."

Song Guanchao noticed her expression was sowhat overly serious.

"What’s wrong?"

Zeng Li deliberated for several seconds, then suddenly asked, "Don’t you want to know why the Finance Bureau needs the Judicial Bureau’s office expenses?"

"Hmm?" Song Guanchao puzzled, wondering how the topic circled back: "You have a clue?"

Zeng Li didn’t directly answer but asked another question: "When do you think, under what circumstances, the Finance Bureau would ask the Judicial Bureau for money?"

Song Guanchao shook his head blankly: "No idea."

"There’s only one situation."

Zeng Li’s face was unusually serious: "The Finance Bureau has run out of money."
