"Director Feng, have you finished your work?"
Song Guanchao asked with a smile.
"Finished, finished."
"Secretary Song, please co in."
"Xiao Yang, entertain Director Wu and Miss Zhou."
Director Feng quickly arranged and invited Song Guanchao and Jiang Yiren into the office.
He closed the door, turned around, and saw that Song Guanchao had already sat down.
This presence is really imposing.
He walked over, pretending not to know: "Secretary Song, what can I do for you?"
Song Guanchao said, "Director Feng, let's not beat around the bush. I need a definite answer today."
"Regarding the cultural creation work, is the Industrial and Comrcial Bureau supporting or not supporting it?"
"Supporting, of course supporting!"
Director Feng imdiately replied with an excellent attitude.
Song Guanchao asked, "What about the office budget, can it be approved today?"
Director Feng said, "Secretary Song, our Industrial and Comrcial Bureau has no money..."
Song Guanchao raised his hand to stop him from complaining: "No money, that's your problem. I'm just a secretary. If you want to complain, go to Secretary Lu and Mayor Zheng."
"I'm not asking for much, five million."
"In the report later, Director Jiang will specifically ntion this point, since the Industrial and Comrcial Bureau is the first to support it."
Director Feng frowned, "Five million is too much, we really can't spare it..."
Song Guanchao stared at him and asked word by word, "Director Feng, are you sure you can't spare it?"
Inside, Director Feng cursed, how dare a re secretary talk to him like this.
On the surface, he was still troubled: "It's too much. Can it be less? If it's one million, I can approve it today."
"One million?"
Song Guanchao laughed, "One million? It seems that the Industrial and Comrcial Bureau is really tight on funds. Fine, I won't make things difficult for Director Feng. I'll report to Secretary Lu later and suggest to Secretary Lu to have the Audit Bureau co over to audit the financial movents of the Industrial and Comrcial Bureau."
"Although it's the end of the year, for such a large departnt like the Industrial and Comrcial Bureau to not even co up with five million, that's unusual."
"An Audit Bureau might not be enough. The Anti-Corruption Bureau might have to co and investigate too, perhaps they'll find sothing."
"As a director, Director Feng couldn't possibly oversee every tiny detail. It's normal for you not to know if so of your subordinates aren't clean in their work."
"It's just right, I'll be the bad guy this ti. No need to thank , Director Feng."
"Director Jiang, let's go."
"Secretary Song, don't rush, don't rush."
Director Feng forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and poured two cups of tea proactively.
"I'll ask the finance departnt later to see how much of this year's office funds are left. Rest assured, we will definitely support the cultural creation work."
"That's really troubling Director Feng. Sigh, Director Feng, don't bla us for asking for a lot. Cultural creation is inherently troubleso, and the investnt of manpower and resources is indispensable."
"To be honest, when I received this task, I had a headache too. But there is no way, the leaders have instructed, and we, as subordinates, no matter how difficult it is, can only do it bravely."
"I understand, I understand."
Director Feng had never had dealings with Song Guanchao before, although he also knew about the series of things he did in Lingjiang, but in his eyes, no matter how capable Song Guanchao was, it couldn't change the essence of his role as a secretary.
Now he had a comprehensive understanding of Song Guanchao.
This guy, his tactics are very adept.
Especially the tactic of labeling, that was really skillful.
After chatting for a while, Song Guanchao and Jiang Yiren got up to say goodbye.
When they reached the door, Song Guanchao suddenly stopped: "Director Jiang, you go out first."
"Oh." Director Jiang gave him a doubtful look and went out first.
Director Feng was also a bit curious, what else did he have to say to him?
Song Guanchao closed the door and said, "Director Feng, are you interested in Director Jiang?"
Director Feng was stunned and quickly shook his head.
He secretly thought, is this guy trying to threaten with what happened that night?
"Not interested? Then that's best."
"Director Feng might not know Director Jiang too well."
Director Feng was intrigued and asked, "Who is behind Director Jiang?"
Song Guanchao said, "Governor Qu."
"Hiss~" Director Feng took a breath, cursing Zhu Qiushui in his heart.
He thought Zhu Qiushui approached Jiang Yiren aiming to reap benefits from the cultural creation project, so he hadn't thought much about Jiang Yiren's identity.
But it turns out, this woman is backed by Qu Xiangru!
Song Guanchao said, "Director Feng, you wouldn't think I ca today just to ask for money for the cultural creation project, right?"
"I'm here to help resolve grievances."
"If I really had an issue with you, I wouldn't have co today, and I wouldn't co in the future."
"I would go to the Tax Bureau and other departnts to ask for money, just not your Industrial and Comrcial Bureau. When the report is submitted, if the leaders see that all other departnts support it except for your Industrial and Comrcial Bureau, do you think the leaders won't notice the problem?"
Listening to Song Guanchao's words, Director Feng was suddenly shocked.
Yes, if the Industrial and Comrcial Bureau doesn't produce money, the leaders would imdiately notice the problem.
Director Feng asked, "This Director Jiang, and Governor Qu, what is their relationship?"
Song Guanchao said, "Sisters."
Then added: "Cousins."
Cousins?
Director Feng, like him, felt puzzled about how two people with different surnas could be cousins.
He even suspected that Song Guanchao might be bluffing him.
"If you're uncertain, investigate yourself. I can't say more than that."
"You just need to know that in addition to Governor Qu, Director Jiang's family has significant influence too."
"And if Director Jiang didn't have a good temper, you would probably be under investigation by the Disciplinary Committee now."
"Don't spread this around. If it gets out and Director Jiang troubles you, don't say I didn't warn you."
He patted Director Feng's shoulder like a leader and left the office.
After he left, Director Feng imdiately called Zhu Qiushui: "Miss Zhu, what is Jiang Yiren's background?"
Zhu Qiushui was puzzled: "What background?"
Director Feng said, "I heard Jiang Yiren is Governor Qu's sister?"
"Huh?" Zhu Qiushui was also surprised: "Are you sure?"
Director Feng frowned. Judging from her reaction, she seed unaware.
"Song Guanchao said it, it should be correct." Director Feng said, "Miss Zhu, this ti, you almost got into big trouble!"
Just as Song Guanchao said, it's just that Jiang Yiren has a good temper.
If Qu Xiangru found out, his position as director would be over.
And from what Song Guanchao implied, Jiang Yiren's family has considerable clout too.
He didn't think Song Guanchao would deceive him with such matters.
He's no fool to believe everything he's told; he would definitely find a way to verify it.
"I'll look into it."
Zhu Qiushui hung up. This news was indeed an unexpected gain.
She had only heard from Secretary Lu that Jiang Yiren was assigned by Qu Xiangru to Lingjiang but didn't know they were sisters.
Also, she didn't know whether Uncle Lu was aware.
She called Secretary Lu: "Uncle, I heard Jiang Yiren is Governor Qu's sister, did you know about this?"
