Official Career Storm-Chapter 1436

Song Guanchao was assertive in his speech, but Mr. Qin was clearly not someone easily intimidated either.

Faced with his nearly provocative attitude, Mr. Qin clicked his tongue and said, "Where did this brat come from?"

After saying that, he turned and walked toward the car, not even looking back, "Xiao Yu, get rid of this kid, I'll be waiting in the car."

"Idiot."

Song Guanchao suddenly swore.

Mr. Qin's steps halted as he turned back, "What did you say?"

"Idiot," Song Guanchao laughed and swore again.

Mr. Qin's face darkened, he pointed at him and then looked at the beautiful woman, "Xiao Yu, you don't need to come tomorrow."

The beautiful woman heard this and immediately became a bit anxious, "Mr. Qin..."

But Mr. Qin ignored her, got into the car, and left immediately.

After he left, the beautiful woman was standing in place looking somewhat lost.

Song Guanchao rubbed his nose, it seemed he had meddled a bit?

"Ms. Yu, is that your boss?" From Mr. Qin's words, Song Guanchao realized her surname was Yu.

The beautiful woman forced a smile, she didn't blame Song Guanchao.

He meant well.

Moreover, this wasn't really a respectable matter.

"Yes." The beautiful woman composed herself, "He's the vice president of the company."

Song Guanchao asked, "Is he threatening you with work?"

From his earlier words, some of the implications could be discerned.

Such things are actually quite common, in private enterprises, state-owned enterprises, and government units alike.

It's just that ordinary people don't encounter them.

But someone like the beautiful woman, with top-tier looks and figure, is likely to encounter them, and often. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

However, what he couldn't quite understand was, given the beautiful woman's conditions, she shouldn't be so controlled by a company's vice president, right?

Even if she didn't work, her standard of living wouldn't decrease much.

"Yes." The beautiful woman nodded lightly, showing a worried expression, opened her mouth as if wanting to say something, but hesitated and remained silent.

Song Guanchao said, "If you need any help, feel free to ask."

Since he chose to get involved in this matter, he had to see it through.

The beautiful woman shook her head, "No need."

She didn't feel that Song Guanchao could help solve her problem.

Song Guanchao suddenly took out a cigarette and offered her one.

The beautiful woman looked at him somewhat strangely, then accepted it.

Song Guanchao took out a lighter and lit it for her.

The two walked slowly along the community, the beautiful woman only took one puff of the cigarette in her hand before letting it burn slowly between her fingers.

After walking for more than ten minutes, while passing by the artificial lake in the community, the beautiful woman stopped, stood by the lake, gazing at the tranquil surface, and finally spoke.

She worked at a state-owned enterprise as a department general manager.

But recently, the state-owned enterprise was not doing well and was preparing to reform.

Once reformed, the state-owned enterprise would become a private enterprise, then it would be responsible for its own profits and losses.

Some departments would face the risk of being cut.

And the department she worked in would almost certainly be cut once the reform happened.

Currently, at the state-owned enterprise, she could earn hundreds of thousands each year, and with some bonuses, her annual salary was at least a million.

If cut, she'd have nothing.

She seemed to know what Song Guanchao was thinking, and told him, although she had some savings, this job was still very important to her.

Moreover, Jiang Yiren's father had always worked in the family company, and his annual income was not even as much as hers.

Don't be fooled by the big house they lived in, life was tight.

Tonight's events almost foretold that Jiang Yiren's father's job would definitely face some turmoil.

So her current job had become crucial.

And Mr. Qin was using this as leverage to try and exploit her.

When she reached this point, the beautiful woman fell silent again.

Song Guanchao could tell that although the beautiful woman was resistant to being exploited, if there really was no other way, she might reluctantly agree in the end.

No help for it, this was her weakness.

Song Guanchao pulled out his phone, "Let me have your number, send me your company's name, and I'll look into it for you at work tomorrow."

State-owned enterprise reforms are mainly overseen by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission.

And the commission is a department of the city government.

Given his current position, helping her transfer to another department, most state-owned enterprises would accommodate him.

The beautiful woman glanced at his phone, chuckled lightly, seemingly unconvinced that he could solve such a matter.

Her understanding of Song Guanchao was still from the past.

She thought Song Guanchao was still working in Lingjiang, not knowing that he was now the office director of the Jiangzhou Municipal Government.

She assumed he was just speaking out of male pride to help her with this matter.

But she was well aware that this was not something Song Guanchao could resolve.

Nevertheless, she still took out her phone, sparing his pride, not letting him feel embarrassed.

After exchanging numbers, Song Guanchao turned and headed towards the parking lot.

Just at that moment, the beautiful woman slipped, lost her balance, and fell towards the artificial lake.

With a splash.

Song Guanchao turned around and saw her falling entirely into the lake.

Oh my...

Such a big person, yet she can still accidentally fall into the water.

Song Guanchao's first reaction wasn't to save her, but to be speechless.

"Help... glub glub..."

The beautiful woman floundered and struggled in the water, while Song Guanchao walked over unhurriedly, squatted down, and reached out his hand.

She fell right by the shore, and the artificial lake in the community is quite shallow.

She was just too panicked, otherwise, if she stood up, she could easily walk out on her own.

Song Guanchao grabbed her arm and lifted her from the lake.

The beautiful woman knelt on the ground, her clothes and hair soaked.

But a beauty is a beauty, even in such a sorry state, she remains alluring.

The thin nightgown, drenched by the lake water, clung to her body like a layer of cicada wings, outlining a seductive curve.

Even if Song Guanchao didn't want to look, he couldn't help it.

"Are you okay?"

"No, I'm fine."

The beautiful woman was still a bit shaken.

Song Guanchao extended his hand, and she grabbed it and stood up from the ground.

Probably too scared, she couldn't muster the strength.

Just as she stood up, her legs went weak again, and she almost fell.

Song Guanchao immediately leaned in, supported her waist, and helped her stand steadily.

With this support, she leaned against Song Guanchao.

The two bodies were intimately close, quite ambiguously so.

The beautiful woman felt a bit awkward, but Song Guanchao's young and strong body made her heart flutter, and unconsciously, she nestled closer into his arms.

Song Guanchao noticed but didn't think much of it.

Still, with such an exquisite body in his arms, it was hard for him to keep a clear mind.

He said nothing, just supported her towards the apartment building.

After a few steps, the beautiful woman suddenly whispered, "Wait."

Song Guanchao looked down at her.

The beautiful woman pointed to a small grove by the artificial lake: "Over there."

Her clothes were wet, and she was concerned about running into other residents and causing rumors.

She planned to wait for her clothes to dry a bit before going back.

Song Guanchao had a strange expression.

To the small grove?

What does this woman want to do?

Seeing Song Guanchao hesitate, the beautiful woman noticed his expression change and immediately knew he had misunderstood.

"I want my clothes to dry a bit before going back," she quickly explained.

To lighten the mood, she added playfully, "You wouldn't think I want to sneak into the woods with you, would you?"

Song Guanchao awkwardly touched his nose, defending, "I wasn't thinking that way."

But his words made the beautiful woman a bit displeased: "What, do you think I'm too old?"

Song Guanchao was astonished; why do women, regardless of age, always have this competitive spirit when it comes to such topics?

"You're not old at all; you look like Sister Yiren."

"Mr. Song, you've got quite the sweet tongue."

The beautiful woman covered her mouth and laughed lightly.

Song Guanchao continued to support her and headed towards the small grove, cheekily adding, "My tongue is not only sweet but also quite nimble."

He regretted it as soon as he said it, coughing lightly, "Just kidding."

The beautiful woman wasn't angry; she's not like Jiang Yiren, young and shy over such topics.

Once inside the small grove, the beautiful woman tidied her hair.

The wet clothes sticking to her body felt very uncomfortable.

She wanted to take them off, but with Song Guanchao nearby, it wasn't convenient.

"You take off your clothes and wear mine for now."

Song Guanchao reached out and took off his shirt.

Seeing him bare-skinned in an instant, the beautiful woman was stunned.

But soon, she was captivated by his smooth, muscular physique.

This tall, masculine man made her heart flutter gently.

August weather is hot, even at night it's oppressively warm.

Sweat droplets trickled down Song Guanchao's neck, outlining his rugged contours.

The beautiful woman cast approving glances, lightly pursing her red lips, her face flushed like a peach.

She nodded, took the shirt, and in front of him, unbuttoned her nightgown one by one.

A trace of snow-white became especially prominent in the grove, and the seemingly endless cleavage held Song Guanchao's gaze.

Noticing his heated gaze and the slightly sticky air, the beautiful woman's heart quietly sped up, her actions to unbutton trembling with nerves.

She didn't remind Song Guanchao to turn away, and Song Guanchao seemed to have forgotten he should turn away.

An unfamiliar emotion arose in her heart until the last button was undone, revealing her mature, captivating body completely in Song Guanchao's view.
