Official Career Storm

Chapter 1489 1489

Song Guanchao's words left several policemen looking at each other in dismay, while Wang Rui's face turned the color of pig liver.

Beneath the anger was a greater sense of panic.

Of course, he had issues that couldn't stand up to scrutiny.

As a police officer in the precinct, no matter how cautious Wang Rui was, he couldn't hide from colleagues he worked with for years.

The most important thing was, Song Guanchao used "lenient treatment" as a lure, suggesting they report him.

This move was extremely vicious!

It was simply a heart-killer!

The human heart cannot withstand tests, and he had no doubt these people would report him.

After saying these words, Song Guanchao turned and headed toward the elevator.

Once he left, a policeman immediately said, "Mr. Wang, don't worry, we won't do such a thing!"

The others also said, "Director Song is trying to sow discord, we won't fall for it!"

"Exactly!"

"Besides, we don't have any issues to worry about!"

Suppressing his emotions, Wang Rui said, "Report what? Hah, did you believe what he said?"

"This is Gulou District, he's just a director, his influence doesn't reach here. I'll inform Director Yan about the situation here later."

He didn't threaten or intimidate these officers, but made them understand that in Gulou District, Director Yan was the one who mattered.

Several policemen repeatedly responded, assuring they would never believe Song Guanchao.

...

Leaving the hospital, Han Lan said, "You shouldn't have provoked him just now."

"What, is Secretary Han scared?"

Song Guanchao was quite puzzled; he remembered Han Lan wasn't the type to be afraid of conflict.

Han Lan shook her head, "I just think you shouldn't have done that. The current issue is food poisoning; his problem can be solved afterward."

"It's all the same." Song Guanchao said, "These are issues that will be dealt with sooner or later; just as well, we can see who else has issues."

It was now certain the ones with issues included Wang Rui, the station director, and Principal Xu from the First High School.

Director Yan from the branch certainly had issues too.

We'll see if he decides to protect Wang Rui this time.

Getting in the car, Han Lan asked, "Where are we going?"

"First High School."

"Why did you call Director Hao and Principal Xu to the City Government?"

"Investigation."

"Who's investigating?"

"Disciplinary Committee."

Han Lan opened her mouth, feeling somewhat unable to follow his thinking.

She had never seen anyone handle matters like Song Guanchao.

For food poisoning, shouldn't the poisoning issue be resolved first?

How is he dealing with people first?

He wants Director Yan to investigate Wang Rui while asking the Disciplinary Committee to investigate the Education Bureau Director and the High School Principal...

The normal order of handling is to wait until the matter is over, then investigate past issues.

Besides, the final investigation involves multiple stakeholders.

Whether it's a minor disciplinary action or dismissal, it requires time and meetings to discuss.

Who deals with it like him, immediately bringing in the Public Security Disciplinary Committee to investigate.

He brought what should have been a final issue forward with extraordinary intensity.

Intense enough to make Han Lan feel somewhat uneasy.

"Secretary Han, drive." Song Guanchao reminded.

Han Lan looked at him with complex emotions, started the car, and headed to the First High School.

Song Guanchao took out Deputy Secretary Tan Miao's phone number and dialed it: "Secretary Tan, am I interrupting?"

Since the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission case, there's been a bit of a rift between Tan Miao and Secretary Bao.

But he didn't care; his previous help to Song Guanchao was mainly due to seeing Wu Qiangwei as a reliable backer.

After exchanging pleasantries on the phone, Song Guanchao explained his purpose, wanting to invite him to the City Government to chat with Director Hao and Principal Xu.

Tan Miao rubbed his brow, knowing that Song Guanchao never goes to the temple for no reason, but this matter was too offensive.

"Shall I send Xiao Wu over?" he tentatively asked.

"Anyone coming is good."

"Alright, I'll send Xiao Wu directly over."

After hanging up, Wu Yun called shortly after: "Secretary Tan said there's a case to investigate?"

"Yes, go straight to the City Government and find Zhou Xingjian, I've already talked to him."

"Aren't you there?"

"I'm handling other matters outside."

"Oh, are you available tonight?"

"I probably won't be free for the next few days."

"Alright then."

Han Lan wasn't one to eavesdrop, but Song Guanchao didn't avoid her at all.

Both things she should and shouldn't hear, she heard.

She was over forty, and could clearly see there was some ambiguity between Song Guanchao and the Disciplinary Committee's young lady.

When they arrived at the school, a security guard immediately approached: "Which class are you a parent of?"

This posture of strict security clearly meant no outsiders were allowed in.

"I'm the City Government's Secretary General, Han Lan." Han Lan announced her role.

"Wait a moment."

The security guard hadn't seen such a high-ranking official, but didn't dare let them in.

He walked to the side and spoke a few words into the intercom.

After a while, the security guard came over and said, "Please wait, the leader will be here soon."

They didn't make things difficult for the security guard, he was just doing his job, no need to trouble him.

After waiting about five minutes, a mature, voluptuous woman in her thirties hurried over.

The beautiful woman approached the car: "Hello, which one of you is Secretary General Han?"

"I am." Han Lan asked, "How should I address you?"

"My surname is Liu, I'm the Vice Principal."

Vice Principal Liu hadn't met a Secretary General, but didn't doubt the other's identity.

These days, who would dare to impersonate an official?

"I didn't know Secretary General Han was visiting, please come in."

Vice Principal Liu instructed the guard to open the gate.

They parked the car and waited for Vice Principal Liu to come over.

When she arrived, without waiting for her to speak, Song Guanchao asked, "How many classes are involved in this food poisoning incident?"

"Who is this?"

"City Government Office Director, Song Guanchao."

"Oh, hello Director Song, this involves six classes, there are students from freshman, sophomore, and senior years."

"Please ask the homeroom teachers of these six classes to come over, I have some questions for them."

"Okay, please come to the office first."

Vice Principal Liu led the two to an empty office and then went out to notify them.

Han Lan asked, "Why are you meeting the homeroom teachers?"

Song Guanchao said, "To contact the parents of the poisoned students."

"The biggest victims in this incident aren't the students, but the parents."

"Students don't understand the rules here, but parents do. When their children suffer food poisoning, the school's first reaction is to cover it up, not letting them see their own children. If it were you, wouldn't you be angry?"

"I need to meet them, let them vent their anger. They also need to make demands, otherwise, if repressed for long, it might lead to bigger issues."

After almost fifteen minutes, Vice Principal Liu hadn't returned, and Han Lan frowned: "I'll go urge her."

"No need to urge." Song Guanchao said, "Vice Principal Liu will definitely remind these homeroom teachers to be careful with their words when they meet us later."

After waiting another ten minutes or so, Vice Principal Liu finally returned along with the homeroom teachers.

"Secretary General Han, Director Song, they're here." Vice Principal Liu smiled.

Song Guanchao glanced and asked, "Aren't there supposed to be six homeroom teachers? Why is one missing?"

"Oh, it's like this, Teacher Xue is unwell and took a leave today."

"Unwell?" Song Guanchao chuckled, "Give me Teacher Xue's phone number."

Vice Principal Liu's smile froze momentarily, quickly said, "Whatever Director Song wants to know, he can ask them; what Teacher Xue knows, they all know. Plus, Teacher Xue has only been at the school for a year and has been a homeroom teacher for just six months, her experience isn't comparable to the other teachers."

Song Guanchao's smile gradually faded, he stared at Vice Principal Liu and said word by word: "Give me Teacher Xue's phone number, which word does Vice Principal Liu not understand? Do I need to ask for a translator to translate for you word by word?"
