Official Career Storm-Chapter 1459

Yan Hua sat down with some apprehension in his heart.

Don't be fooled by his calm expression; inside, he was extremely nervous.

Generally speaking, if you've done nothing wrong, you wouldn't be nervous facing the Disciplinary Committee.

If you're nervous, it means you've made a mistake.

Yan Hua knew himself well.

He was not exactly a law-abiding person, so he was quite anxious at this moment.

Song Guanchao asked, "Does Mr. Yan know why I'm looking for you?"

Yan Hua secretly cursed; he hated this way of talking the most.

Not addressing the issue directly, instead trying to fish for information.

How could he respond?

He'd definitely say he didn't know.

So, he shook his head.

Then, he saw Song Guanchao's smile fade, and his heart skipped a beat.

"It seems Mr. Yan does not intend to cooperate."

"Director Song, maybe you could give me a hint?"

Yan Hua was annoyed; he actually wanted to be more assertive and tell Song Guanchao not to beat around the bush.

He suspected that Song Guanchao might know something but not much, and was trying to fish for more information from him.

But it was just speculation, he wasn't sure.

What if Song Guanchao really had conclusive evidence?

Then with this attitude, wouldn't he offend him?

So, he held back, maintaining a good attitude.

"Secretary Qiu has been placed under investigation." Song Guanchao said this one sentence.

Yan Hua was stunned, unable to control even the most basic of emotions.

After a long while, he managed to squeeze out a slight smile: "Director Song, you must be joking."

However, he soon found he couldn't laugh anymore.

Because he noticed Song Guanchao looking at him seriously.

"Does Mr. Yan think I came to joke with you?"

"I... I didn't mean that, Director Song, I, I…"

Yan Hua was extremely flustered: "I will definitely cooperate with your work."

Song Guanchao nodded satisfactorily: "Gather the documents on the restructured state-owned enterprises over the years."

Upon hearing this, Yan Hua instead calmed down.

It was indeed because of this matter.

"Alright, Director Song, please wait a moment." Just as he was about to stand, Song Guanchao said, "Make a call, let others organize it, you stay here."

Yan Hua slowly sat back down: "Okay."

He made a call, arranging for his subordinates to handle it.

After the call, Yan Hua, feeling uneasy, wanted to explain: "Director Song, I'm just the director of the restructuring office, many things were requested by Chairman Wu, I couldn't refuse."

Song Guanchao interrupted him: "Your issues will be explained to the Disciplinary Committee shortly. But your attitude is not bad, I will suggest to them to treat it leniently."

Yan Hua squeezed out a smile that was no better than crying: "Thank you, Director Song."

Sun Yuan, standing to the side, felt extremely pleased.

The issues at the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission were quite serious, and as an office director, he had been sidelined due to differing views with Secretary Qiu and others, but he was aware of the happenings over the years.

In fact, he had tried to report, but because it was anonymous, the Disciplinary Committee didn't take them seriously.

But he always believed in justice, that one day, they would face the consequences. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

About twenty minutes later, Wu Yun's phone rang.

After she answered, she came over and said, "Director Song, the police have arrived."

"Hmm." Song Guanchao nodded, seeing Yan Hua looking over nervously, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Yan, they're not here to arrest you."

Yan Hua's expression kept changing, unsure whether he should laugh or cry at that moment.

A while later, Wu Yun's phone rang again.

"Director Song, those deputy secretaries have been taken away."

"Hmm."

About ten minutes later, the meeting room door was pushed open, and the documents Song Guanchao asked for were delivered.

As he browsed through them, he was secretly alarmed.

He knew there had been many undervalued and improperly sold state-owned enterprises over the years, but he didn't expect there to be this many.

In seven years, a total of 9 state-owned enterprises were sold off cheaply.

Even if each was worth over a billion, the total loss exceeds a hundred billion!

But in reality, the average value of these enterprises would not be less than three billion!

The total loss is at least three hundred billion!

It's a terrifying number.

Song Guanchao closed the files and stood up: "Director Sun, keep an eye on things at the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, contact me immediately if anything happens."

"Mr. Yan, come with me."

After taking Yan Hua downstairs, Song Guanchao drove away, and a middle-aged man watched the vehicle he drove.

He grabbed his phone and made a call: "Mr. Guo, Yan Hua has been taken away."

Upon receiving the call, Guo Tong let out a cold laugh, then dialed another number.

...

Song Guanchao took Yan Hua to a hotel for custody, then returned to the City Government with Wu Yun.

He handed the files to Wu Qiangwei: "Seven years, nine state-owned enterprises, a loss of state assets totaling 300 billion."

The simple numbers were shocking.

Wu Qiangwei took a deep breath.

She hadn't expected it to be this serious.

Initially, she thought only one state-owned enterprise was sold off cheaply, and another was still under restructuring.

She hadn't thought there would be nine already sold.

This case is quite large.

It's unknown how many officials are implicated.

The sheer numbers put a lot of pressure on Wu Qiangwei.

"You want to go with me to… forget it, I'll go myself."

Wu Qiangwei initially wanted to take him to the Provincial Committee to see Secretary Gao, but ultimately decided to go herself.

"Mayor, I'll go with you."

"No need."

With the files in hand, Wu Qiangwei said as she was leaving: "Be careful during this time."

The amount involved is too large, such interests can't be handled by just one party secretary from the State Assets Commission.

There must be others in the City Government, and definitely others in various departments.

Outside officialdom, there are people as well!

And with how open Song Guanchao is in his investigation, without restraint.

Those people are likely always watching.

They won't stay quiet, and will definitely try to find connections to minimize the impact of this issue.

They might even do something drastic.

During this time, ensuring the safety of Song Guanchao's life is a major concern.

The opposition will surely put pressure on him.

But she knew Song Guanchao; he never gives up because of danger, he's the least afraid of threats.

"I know."

What Wu Qiangwei thought of, he had long anticipated.

From the time he started investigating the case, he was already prepared.

After Wu Qiangwei left, Song Guanchao returned to his office.

Wu Yun said, "From what Mayor Wu said, is this case very dangerous?"

"Yes, very dangerous." Song Guanchao looked at her, smiling: "What, are you scared?"

"A little," Wu Yun nodded, "so you need to protect me."

Song Guanchao laughed: "Don't worry, if there's real danger, I'll definitely stand in front of you."

As he spoke, the phone rang.

Unexpectedly, it was a call from Zhou Zheng, which was quite rare.

Song Guanchao pondered for a few seconds, then answered the phone: "Secretary Zhou."

"If you're not busy, come by the City Committee; I have something to discuss with you."

Song Guanchao had anticipated that those behind the case would try to pressure him.

But he hadn't expected the first to contact him would be Zhou Zheng.

"Okay."

Song Guanchao was curious to see what move Zhou Zheng would make.
