Chapter 1792: Chapter 1792

"Mr. Yang, don’t worry too much."

Gao Qi dropped Yang Ling off outside a two-story self-built house along the street in the town, offering a word of comfort as she got out of the car.

Yang Ling smiled weakly and responded with a hum. How could she not be worried?

Though Gao Qi was also the vice county mayor, compared to Cao Xiaolou, the gap between them was not minor.

And she clearly understood that Gao Qi wanted her to report to the city to bring down Cao Xiaolou through this process.

But, could they really bring him down?

She had heard that behind Cao Xiaolou was Secretary Zhou from the city.

Gao Qi could see what she was worried about from her eyes, but he didn’t explain, just waited quietly.

...

In the blink of an eye, it was the weekend.

Fu Ying came over today.

Song Guanchao was quite busy, the general direction for shutting down and merging had been set, but many details were yet to be finalized.

He held an early meeting, checked the time, grabbed the keys, and left.

By the time he reached the high-speed rail station, it was already eleven o’clock.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, a young woman dragging a suitcase and wearing a beige short down jacket and jeans appeared in the parking lot, it was Fu Ying.

Fu Ying had a great figure, and although her top was bulky, it accentuated the tightness of her jeans.

Her small bottom was perky and round, her legs were long and straight, visibly fluid and moist.

Even though she wore a mask, just her figure alone drew continuous glances from the passersby.

She spotted Song Guanchao, and dragging the suitcase, walked over quickly, her eyebrows and eyes smiling.

"When did you arrive?"

"Just got here." Song Guanchao took the suitcase and placed it in the trunk.

"Get in the car."

He opened the passenger door, walked around, got in, and drove out of the parking lot.

"I rented two apartments for you. Since you just got here, it’s best to stay in the High-tech Zone, which is close to the district government, a five-minute walk to work. Convenient."

"The Deputy District Mayor for Administration has been transferred to the Judicial Bureau. I haven’t interacted with the other deputy mayors, so I’m not sure what they’re like. Make contact first, if they don’t cooperate, let me know, and I’ll have a talk with them."

"Let’s grab something to eat first, is there anything you’d like? Hotpot? Barbecue? Cuisine?"

"Anything’s fine." Fu Ying had a smile on her face, listening to his well-ordered arrangements, feeling good.

Song Guanchao brought her to a restaurant near the city government for lunch, then checked the time: "Let’s meet the mayor first, then head to the organization department to go through the formalities."

Fu Ying asked, "Does the Mayor welcome me here?"

Song Guanchao glanced at her: "This is her bringing you in."

Fu Ying smiled lightly, without comment.

Arriving at the city government, Song Guanchao said: "This is Shu Xue, Secretary Wu’s secretary."

"Secretary Shu, this is Fu Ying, the former Mayor of Dujiang City, now the District Mayor of the High-tech Zone."

"Hello, Secretary Shu." The two women greeted each other, and Song Guanchao knocked, leading her into the office, then stepped out.

After Shu Xue poured the tea and came out, she noticed Song Guanchao was still there, understanding he was waiting for Fu Ying.

From that introduction, Shu Xue could tell what he wanted to convey.

It was to let her know Fu Ying was Wu Qiangwei’s person.

Fu Ying stayed in the office for about ten minutes, then came out, and Song Guanchao took her to the organization department again.

They arrived at the district government, and it was almost three in the afternoon.

Several deputy district mayors and the office director were notified and waiting in the parking lot ahead of time.

As soon as the two got out of the car, these people came up, faces radiant with smiles, very enthusiastic.

"Let me introduce, this is Fu Ying, the new District Mayor of the High-tech Zone."

"Hello, Mr. Fu." The deputy district mayors took turns stepping forward to shake her hand and introduce themselves.

Silently amazed, they hadn’t expected the new district mayor to be so young and beautiful.

Several people’s eyes flickered, unclear what they were thinking.

Song Guanchao took in their reactions, uninterested in whether they had any inappropriate thoughts.

He wasn’t so domineering that he would forbid the other party from fantasizing.

But, thinking is one thing, actually trying to do anything is entirely unacceptable.

"Mayor Fu, Mayor Wu has prepared a welcome party for you tonight."

Song Guanchao also looked at the deputy mayors: "Make sure you all come too."

The group was pleasantly surprised, nodding repeatedly, secretly thinking that Mayor Wu intended to use this occasion to address them.

"I’ll head back first. Mayor Fu, if you need anything, give me a call."

Before leaving, Song Guanchao said another line.

This line was intentionally said to the deputy mayors.

...

In the evening, at the welcome party, Wu Qiangwei invited many people.

All six Deputy Mayors were present, as well as the Secretary-General and certainly Song Guanchao. Then there were several district mayors and the office director from the High-tech Zone.

Sun Jiajun was extremely amazed when he saw Fu Ying.

He never expected the district mayor promoted by Wu Qiangwei to be so young and beautiful.

His attitude now was a stark contrast from before.

As long as there were outsiders present, he would always act centered around Wu Qiangwei, giving the impression that Wu Qiangwei was in charge of the entire city government.

But both Song Guanchao and Wu Qiangwei knew he was still dissatisfied at heart.

But dissatisfaction was useless, as the city government was now under Wu Qiangwei’s control.

Song Guanchao wasn’t concerned about his private attitude; he had no power or influence and couldn’t recruit many people, thus wasn’t a threat to Wu Qiangwei.

If he was willing to play subservient, Song Guanchao was happy to see it.

After the meal, everyone dispersed.

Taking advantage of others going to the restroom, Song Guanchao sidled up to Wu Qiangwei and whispered: "Is there anyone at home tonight?"

Wu Qiangwei remained composed and said softly: "Yes."

"Ah? That Bai Ruyi?"

"Hmm."

"Then come to my place?"

"No." Wu Qiangwei had never been to his house.

"I’ll pick you up and drop you back later."

"No."

"Then..."

Just as Song Guanchao was about to continue, Sun Jiajun and others came out of the restroom and started walking over.

"Keep your old classmate company well," Wu Qiangwei said in a low voice and stepped towards the restaurant’s door.

Song Guanchao was slightly stunned, feeling a bit awkward.

He made the arrangement with Wu Qiangwei on purpose, in case she thought too much.

However, this little trick couldn’t hide anything and was seen through by her.

As he stepped out, Wu Qiangwei had already gotten into her car, leaving behind a trail of exhaust, heading down the road.

"She truly is considerate," Song Guanchao thought with some guilt.

But he really didn’t have a good way to balance the relationships between the women.

"Director Song, get home early," Sun Jiajun came over and made polite conversation.

The others also came over, exchanging pleasantries.

After these people left, Song Guanchao took out his phone and sent a message to Fu Ying, who had already gone back: "Where are you staying tonight? High-tech Zone or my place?"

"Guess."

"..." This woman had learned to be naughty, even teasing him.

"High-tech Zone." Fu Ying sent another message.

"Leave me a door open."

Song Guanchao replied, pocketed his phone, and drove over.
