Official Career Storm

Chapter 1590 1590

The two chatted for a while. Song Guanchao, feeling rejuvenated, lifted the blanket and was about to continue with Lin Wanqiu when there was a sudden knock at the door.

Both froze, turning their heads toward the door.

Knock, knock, knock.

"Director Song, the Mayor is looking for you." It was Shu Xue's voice.

Song Guanchao didn't respond. He grabbed the phone from under his pillow and put it on silent mode.

Shu Xue knocked for a while, but without getting a response, she said to Jiang Yiren beside her, "Director Song seems to be not in."

Was Jiang Yiren also at the door?

Indeed, he was supposed to return to Jiangzhou with Jiang Yiren this morning.

Since Shu Xue knew Jiang Yiren hadn't left, he must still be around as well.

The two women exchanged a few words at the door, then suddenly, Song Guanchao's phone rang.

Song Guanchao exhaled lightly, relieved that he reacted quickly; otherwise, if they heard the phone ringing inside the room, they would definitely suspect he was doing something unhealthy in the room.

He gestured to Lin Wanqiu to be quiet, pressed the answer button, and lowered his voice: "What's up?"

"Where are you?" Jiang Yiren asked softly, "Are you in that journalist's room?"

The jealousy was palpable; I could smell it even over the phone.

"I'm outside, is there something? If not, I'm hanging up."

"Hmph, you liar. Your voice is so low; you must be in her room."

"I don't have time to argue with you; I'm really busy here. So, is it urgent or not?" Song Guanchao's tone was serious.

Jiang Yiren suddenly felt wronged, wondering why he used such a tone with her.

She pouted, "The Mayor is looking for you, not me!"

"I... I got it." Song Guanchao paused for a moment, looking down to see that at some point, Lin Wanqiu had crawled beneath him, holding Xiao Song in her mouth, puffing her cheeks.

"I'm handling some things here, can't take the call. Tell the Mayor I need about half an hour."

After saying this quickly, Song Guanchao ended the call and tossed aside his phone.

Lin Wanqiu had a naughty smile, releasing Xiao Song and whispering, "Do you like it?"

This must be the freshness her friend mentioned.

Teasing him while he's on the phone.

She didn't know if Song Guanchao found it exciting, but she definitely felt thrilled.

"Sister Wanqiu, you've turned bad." Song Guanchao stroked her hair.

"Do you like it?" Lin Wanqiu asked, a bit anxious.

She didn't want Song Guanchao to think she was an easy woman.

"I like it, I really like it!"

Song Guanchao raised an eyebrow while looking at her lifted butt, "Come here."

Lin Wanqiu didn't catch on; it took her two or three seconds to understand his meaning. She shyly said, "No."

"Sister Wanqiu, you're being naughty. Naughty, and you'll get spanked." Song Guanchao bent down, holding her waist, flipping her over onto him, spreading her legs over his shoulders, and indulged in her generously.

"Ah~" Lin Wanqiu's heart trembled, a wave of strange pleasure surging through her.

This pose, so shameful...

...

A half-hour later, Song Guanchao made sure no one was outside, opened the door, and had Lin Wanqiu leave first.

After he went out, he knocked on Wu Qiangwei's door after a while.

Wu Qiangwei opened the door, noticing Song Guanchao with slightly wet hair, and asked, "Where did you go?"

Song Guanchao kept a serious expression, peeking into the room and asking, "Is anyone here?"

Wu Qiangwei thought he intended to cause trouble and raised her eyebrows, "You..."

"I discovered something big!"

Seeing his serious and solemn demeanor, Wu Qiangwei knew she misunderstood and invited him inside.

Song Guanchao walked to the bed and asked, "How many entrepreneurs did you meet this morning?"

"Two."

"How did the discussions go?"

"Basically settled," Wu Qiangwei asked, "What do you want to say?"

Song Guanchao suddenly walked to the window and drew the curtains.

The mysterious action made Wu Qiangwei even more curious.

He sat back down, looked seriously, and said, "The officials in Pinghai City are utterly corrupt!"

"Hmm?"

"I received a letter of complaint today..."

He elaborated on the matter in great detail.

After listening, Wu Qiangwei's expression turned as grave as his.

"So you were just out investigating?"

"Yes," Song Guanchao said, "but haven't found any useful information yet."

"Oh, by the way."

Song Guanchao added, "Do you remember Lin Wanqiu?"

"I remember; Director Jiang mentioned she's also in Pinghai City?"

"Her colleague disappeared last month while investigating a corruption case in Pinghai City."

Wu Qiangwei's expression dramatically changed, "Was it the local officials who captured them?"

"Yes, and I know where that journalist is being held. But it's neither feasible nor wise to rescue her. Doing so could alert the enemy."

Song Guanchao said, "There's one more thing."

"Inspection Group No. 12 is also in Pinghai City. That person submitted a report to the inspection team but received no response."

"The inspection group..." Wu Qiangwei suddenly found it very tricky.

The situation was already complicated, and now with an inspection team involved, it became even more tangled.

"What thoughts do you have?" she habitually asked Song Guanchao.

Song Guanchao said, "I think it's a good thing."

"A good thing?"

She couldn't see how it was good.

Song Guanchao said, "We need to confirm the issues in Pinghai City, and if true, it's a great opportunity for you and me to make a mark."

Wu Qiangwei said, "If the risk is too high, forget it."

She's not very concerned about such achievements.

To her, dealing with a city's corrupt officials isn't as crucial as boosting the economy.

Song Guanchao said, "That's just one aspect."

"The entrepreneurs in Pinghai City are the real benefit!"

"If what that person said is true, it shows that the business environment in Pinghai City is terrible. Even if these corrupt officials are brought to justice, the local entrepreneurs would still have psychological shadows."

"Do you think they would continue to stay there?"

"We can completely take advantage of this opportunity to sign these entrepreneurs and bring them to Jiangzhou!"

Wu Qiangwei's eyes lit up slightly.

She doesn't care about Pinghai City's corrupt officials, but this is indeed a rare opportunity for investment attraction.

"I'll figure out a way to meet the local inspection group," Wu Qiangwei said.

She wants to ascertain whether these inspectors have been corrupted.

If not, then the power of the inspection team can be leveraged.

Song Guanchao shook his head, "Don't contact them. If they have vested interests with the local officials, it will only alert the enemy, and we don't need their help."

The inspection team has only a dozen inspectors, whose capability is limited to reporting issues or coordinating with provincial officials to solve problems.

But what the inspection team can do, he can achieve too.

There's no need to risk exposure by contacting them.

Wu Qiangwei thought for a moment and agreed that his concerns were more serious and nodded, "Be careful not to expose yourself during your investigation."

"Don't you trust me?"

Song Guanchao smiled, then suddenly stood up.

Before Wu Qiangwei could react, he was already in front, gently lifting her chin, "Worked hard all morning, tired? Mayor, let me give you a massage to relax a bit."

Seeing the mischievous smile on his face, Wu Qiangwei spat lightly, her eyes showing blame yet shyness.

Song Guanchao slowly leaned in, capturing her lips, his hands naturally grabbing her shoulders, lifting her from the chair, then took off her blazer, and went to unbutton her pants along the smooth shirt.
