Official Career Storm-Chapter 1442

Looking at the thick stack of documents Song Guanchao placed on the table, Wu Qiangwei had a string of question marks on her forehead.

"What is this?"

"Whistleblowing material."

Song Guanchao sat down heavily and recounted the matter Fang Hui had just discussed with him.

Wu Qiangwei didn't seem too concerned: "Pass it on to the Disciplinary Committee."

Song Guanchao shook his head: "I plan to handle it myself."

Upon hearing this, Wu Qiangwei knew that he must have something hidden in his mind.

It's important to know that his daily work is very busy.

If he can make time specifically to deal with this kind of matter, it means his true motive lies elsewhere.

She looked straight at him, waiting for him to explain.

Song Guanchao said, "If the allegations are true, Secretary Zhou will be held accountable."

Wu Qiangwei was stunned for a moment, taking two seconds to react to what he meant.

This company was acquired last year.

Last year, Zhou Zheng was the Mayor.

To sell a state-owned enterprise, there needs to be a signed agreement from someone at the City Government.

This person must at least be at the Deputy Mayor level.

Principally, the Mayor must be informed.

If all the evaluations and the subsequent sale of this state-owned enterprise adhere to procedures.

Then, if this company was indeed deliberately undervalued, the leadership responsible for approving this company has joint liability.

As for how significant this liability is, that's hard to say.

Song Guanchao's scheme lies in this.

As long as this company was indeed sold cheaply, then Zhou Zheng would definitely be affected.

Now, anything that can upset Zhou Zheng brings pleasure to Song Guanchao.

Wu Qiangwei couldn't help but be speechless; she found truly that Song Guanchao had a feud with Zhou Zheng.

She smiled helplessly: "You're not the Disciplinary Committee, so technically you shouldn't investigate."

Song Guanchao said, "Then I'll cooperate with the Disciplinary Committee, which doesn't break any rules, right?"

The fact that someone handed him the whistleblowing material and he forwarded it to the Disciplinary Committee is completely reasonable.

Everything that needed to be noted, Song Guanchao has noted well, leaving Wu Qiangwei speechless.

"Just be careful on your own."

"Don't worry."

Song Guanchao picked up the material and, before leaving, asked, "By the way, have you had any dealings with the Disciplinary Committee?"

Wu Qiangwei shook her head.

"What kind of person is Secretary Bao from the Disciplinary Committee?"

Wu Qiangwei continued shaking her head.

"Alright, I'll find out myself."

Song Guanchao was a bit speechless; Wu Qiangwei had been here for several months, yet she hadn't fully understood the standing members.

Back in his office, Song Guanchao thought for a while and called Liang Jianfeng.

"Mr. Liang, are you busy?"

"What's up?"

"Need to inquire about someone."

"Who?"

"Secretary Bao from the Disciplinary Committee."

Song Guanchao asked, "Have you had dealings with this person?"

Liang Jianfeng said, "Dealt a few times, Secretary Bao is quite slick."

"Got something to do with him?"

"A bit." Song Guanchao didn't elaborate, nor did Liang Jianfeng probe further.

After hanging up, he found Bao Qi's number.

He thought about it but didn't dial; instead, found the Disciplinary Committee's Deputy Secretary Tan Miao's number.

Now he has a general impression of Secretary Bao, but still lacks an understanding of the Deputy Secretary.

It's the perfect opportunity to get acquainted.

"Hello, Secretary Tan, this is Song Guanchao from the City Government."

"Oh, Director Song, what brings you here?"

"Secretary Tan, do you have some time?"

"Director Song's request, even without time, I'll make it."

"Then let's have some tea."

"I'd be honored."

Song Guanchao clicked his tongue, Liang Jianfeng remarked Secretary Bao is slick.

But chatting with this Deputy Secretary, he found he's also quite slick.

However, considering the position, it's hard to find someone not slick.

He stored the whistleblowing material in a cabinet, locking the office door before leaving.

He chose a teahouse and sent the address to Tan Miao.

Less than twenty minutes later, Tan Miao arrived.

He looks like he's forty-five or six, without the obesity middle-aged people usually have, but rather lean, making him appear very spirited.

"Secretary Tan." Song Guanchao stepped forward to shake his hand.

Tan Miao sat down and, after the Tea Girl served a cup of tea, she left.

Song Guanchao took a sip of tea and said, "Secretary Tan, I'm pretty straightforward, I don't beat around the bush, I say what's on my mind."

Tan Miao smiled and said, "I enjoy dealing with straightforward people."

Song Guanchao said, "Here's the thing, I received a whistleblower letter today."

"Oh? What kind of whistleblower letter?" Tan Miao reacted very calmly.

Song Guanchao withheld Fang Hui's name and identity, only explaining the whistleblowing content.

After listening, Tan Miao remained unruffled and asked, "Is it an anonymous whistleblower?"

"It's real-name."

"Real-name..." Tan Miao suddenly felt it was a bit tricky.

Having heard Song Guanchao's description, he knew this matter would be difficult to handle.

Because the whistleblow relates back to last year, and the sensitive issue involves the restructuring of a state-owned enterprise.

Once investigated, it would affect Secretary Zhou.

He's merely a Deputy Secretary of the Disciplinary Committee, not daring to offend the City Secretary.

But Song Guanchao invited him for tea, brought it up in person, and it's a real-name whistleblower.

As the Deputy Secretary of the Disciplinary Committee, he had no reason to refuse.

Tan Miao kept his lips on the teacup, clearly struggling to figure a way out after what Song Guanchao said.

Song Guanchao did not rush him.

"Director Song, you're putting me in a difficult position here." Tan Miao sighed.

He openly stated his dilemma: "If Secretary Zhou finds out I'm investigating this, my days ahead will be tough."

Song Guanchao said, "Secretary Tan's concerns are understandable, but the whistleblower letter was placed in my hands, and as a Director, I can't arbitrarily do the Disciplinary Committee's work."

"I also spoke with the Mayor, and the Mayor's opinion was to assist you in the investigation."

Tan Miao's eyes flickered: "Mayor Wu is aware of this?"

"Of course." Song Guanchao said, "With such an important matter, how could I possibly hide it from the Mayor."

"I see..."

Tan Miao couldn't help but ponder.

He actually understood what Song Guanchao meant.

It's just a way of telling him, even if Secretary Zhou becomes upset, he still has Mayor Wu backing him.

He's trying to recruit him.

However, Tan Miao does not wish to be recruited.

He simply wants to be an ordinary Deputy Secretary at the Disciplinary Committee and not engage in the leaders' schemes and deceptions.

But he also knows that such matters are beyond his control.

Being in the officialdom and at a considerable rank, it's almost impossible to remain detached.

After a long time, Tan Miao asked, "Did the other party provide material for the whistleblower?"

"They provided."

"With the provided material, there's no problem. Later, have someone send the material over, and I'll have someone check it out."

"Much appreciated, Secretary Tan."

Song Guanchao's smile gradually deepened; he knew Tan Miao had already made his decision.
