Official Career Storm-Chapter 925:

City Government.

When Jiang Yuan heard the news, he clicked his tongue in wonder.

The City Secretary, has been replaced.

He touched his chin, thought for a moment, and understood the reason.

Being a local faction member, Jiang Yuan paid close attention to the provincial dynamics. At the slightest hint of change, he was the first to receive the news.

For him, Qu Xiangru taking the position was a good thing.

But Wu Qiangwei would not give up.

She would definitely come to the City Government sooner or later.

...

Minister Zhou looked at the file and sighed lightly.

An unexpected Qu Xiangru, Wu Qiangwei's career path is really not smooth.

...

Song Guanchao stood in the parking lot and dialed Qu Xiangru's number.

The call went through smoothly.

"Governor Qu, where have you arrived?"

"Just entered the city area."

"Okay, I'm waiting for you at the parking lot."

"Mm."

There were probably other people in the car. Of course, given her personality, even if there weren't, she would still treat everyone equally.

About twenty minutes later, a sedan with a Provincial City license plate drove into the City Committee parking lot.

Song Guanchao immediately called Wu Qiangwei.

The car came to a stop, and Wu Qiangwei happened to walk out of the building.

Jin Rong got out of the passenger seat and opened the rear door.

The first thing to catch the eye was a long, straight leg.

Flat leather shoes hit the ground with a crisp sound, and then Qu Xiangru's striking figure completely emerged from the car.

Sunlight fell just right on her body, her fair skin seemed to be coated with a faint golden glow, radiant and dazzling.

Wu Qiangwei stepped forward and extended her hand: "Governor Qu, welcome."

Qu Xiangru smiled and said, "Given this sudden mandate, I hope Secretary Wu will cooperate more with the work in the future."

Both women smiled, but what thoughts lay beneath those smiles, no one could tell.

As Qu Xiangru's gaze turned over, Song Guanchao suddenly shivered.

Both the principal and the deputy secretaries of the City Committee were women, the Secretary-General was also female, and the Heads of the Office and Secretariat were women too.

He felt that the City Committee seemed a bit heavy in female aura.

He wondered if he could handle it.

The two leaders walked in front, with Song Guanchao and Jin Rong following behind.

Reaching the elevator, Song Guanchao stepped forward to press the button, then retreated to the back.

Jin Rong gave him a wink; this guy probably hadn't realized the seriousness of the situation yet.

When they reached the sixth floor, Chu Xiao'e happened to be coming by.

"Governor Qu, the office has been tidied up."

"Thanks to Secretary Chu."

Qu Xiangru said, "Secretary Wu, Secretary Chu, you can go ahead with your work. Have Secretary Song show me around, don't let this delay your work."

The two women nodded and left.

Song Guanchao led them to the office.

Liu Jie and Xu Xin threw out anything irrelevant, and even replaced the chair with a new one.

All traces of Zheng Bihui were completely removed.

As soon as they entered the office, Song Guanchao grabbed a disposable paper cup and brewed a cup of tea: "Governor Qu..."

"Here, call me Secretary."

Qu Xiangru said, "For a long time to come, I'll be working in Lingjiang."

Song Guanchao was surprised.

She held two positions, but the role of Executive Deputy Governor was clearly higher, with more authority and administrative work to handle.

How could she be willing to give up provincial duties and spend significant time in Lingjiang?

Song Guanchao didn't understand but still nodded to show he understood.

"Secretary Qu, tonight we have prepared a welcome banquet at the guesthouse."

"Mm."

Qu Xiangru picked up the teacup to warm her hands, after a while, she looked up: "You go on with your work, contact Secretary Jin if there's anything."

"Alright."

After Song Guanchao left, Jin Rong also came out with him.

"Secretary Song, want to have a smoke?"

"Let's go to the hallway."

Song Guanchao could tell he had something to discuss.

The two of them stepped into the hallway to smoke, Jin Rong said, "I'll be heading back to the Provincial City after dinner tonight, you'll have to cooperate more with Governor Qu's work in the future."

"You're going back?"

"Yes, if I don't go back, who will handle the provincial matters?"

Song Guanchao's expression turned even more peculiar: "Governor Qu assigned all government affairs to you?"

That's the administrative affairs of an entire province!

Could a secretary handle it all?

While it's true that when the leader is absent, the secretary acts in their place.

But that can only be maintained for a short time.

Moreover, does Qu Xiangru trust Jin Rong that much?

What is the relationship between these two?

Song Guanchao's eyes suddenly became sharp.

Jin Rong felt a bit uncomfortable under his gaze: "Secretary Song, why are you looking at me like that?"

Song Guanchao quickly withdrew his gaze and smiled: "Governor Qu really trusts Secretary Jin, handing over so much work to you directly."

Jin Rong felt a bit proud: "I've been following Governor Qu since my time in the county, the foundation of trust has been built over many years."

"Oh?" Song Guanchao was surprised, "That must be at least ten years, right?"

He lowered his voice, saying, "Between Secretary Jin and Governor Qu..."

Jin Rong was startled and quickly waved his hand: "Don't talk nonsense, please don't talk nonsense."

Song Guanchao just chuckled: "I really don't believe it, with such a beautiful female leader, Secretary Jin doesn't have any thoughts?"

Jin Rong showed a difficult-to-describe expression: "It would be a lie to say no."

"In the early days, there were indeed thoughts, but that was all in the past."

"Let me tell you, Governor Qu is a person with very cold temperament, and..."

"And what?"

"And following her, it's easy to feel defeated."

Jin Rong said dejectedly, "She's like a top student, think about it, who can communicate equally with a top student?"

Song Guanchao thought for a moment: "A top student?"

"Exactly!" Jin Rong said, "Only a top student can communicate equally with a top student!"

"I'm a high achiever too, but Governor Qu is a genius! You understand? Spending time with her makes me feel inferior. My capability isn't as good as hers, nor is my experience in handling affairs. Clearly, Governor Qu didn't enter the system much earlier than I did, but her understanding of the operational rules is deeper than mine."

"For the same task, if it takes me a week to solve, Governor Qu can get it done in a day at most."

"With such a big gap, I feel inferior whenever I have ideas."

"Sigh."

He sighed: "You haven't served as Governor Qu's secretary, you wouldn't understand this kind of pressure."

Song Guanchao nodded in agreement: "Indeed, for those of us with strong capabilities, it's indeed hard to understand."

"..." Jin Rong's face twitched.

I came seeking comfort, not criticism.

But he couldn't complain.

Because Song Guanchao truly was capable.

Additionally, Wu Qiangwei wasn't lacking in capability either. She was practically a younger version of Qu Xiangru.

But serving as Wu Qiangwei's secretary, Song Guanchao seemed not to be troubled by this aspect.

He couldn't help but ask: "You don't have any thoughts about Secretary Wu?"

Song Guanchao wore a look of righteousness: "I do not indulge in romance with women."

Jin Rong was stunned for two seconds, suddenly took two steps back, and instinctively hid his lower body.

Song Guanchao glanced at him blandly and said, "Nor am I interested in men. My eyes are only on work. Affairs of the heart would only slow my progress!"

Jin Rong's facial muscles twitched violently, I believe you as much as I believe in ghosts.
