Official Career Storm-Chapter 1466:

The next day.

In the office, Song Guanchao was deep in thought.

Last night, Wen Ru's words had woken him up.

When he learned that Zhang Yan was not involved in this matter, he found it strange.

But he couldn't quite put a finger on what was wrong.

Her reminder made Song Guanchao suddenly see the light.

Seven years, nine national enterprises.

This is not something a secretary can conceal alone.

Unless someone is helping him hide it.

And only two people could achieve that.

Zhou Zheng, or Zhang Yan.

He didn't know much about Zhou Zheng, but after multiple contacts, he had a rough understanding.

Zhou Zheng was extremely ambitious and a careerist, very protective of his reputation.

By comparison, Song Guanchao thought that Zhang Yan was more likely.

But with the current evidence available, Zhang Yan was indeed unconnected to this issue.

Neither Zhao Jian, nor the senior executives of those national enterprises, nor Secretary Qiu from the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission mentioned Zhang Yan.

She had perfectly hidden herself in this case.

If Zhang Yan was really involved, then the only person who knew her involvement would be Guo Tong!

To find evidence related to her, it seems that the only way is to start with Guo Tong.

Song Guanchao even suspected that investigating Zhang Yan's bank transactions might not turn up anything.

Since Zhang Yan was so cautious, she certainly wouldn't be careless in this area.

Song Guanchao realized he had underestimated Zhang Yan a bit.

Initially, due to Luo Sanming's relationship, he never really regarded Zhang Yan as important, only thinking she acted recklessly relying on her status.

Now looking at it, she was obviously very careful in her actions, even when embezzling money, she would prepare thoroughly.

Even if things were exposed one day, finding evidence easily would be a challenge.

Therefore, the immediate priority was to control Guo Tong first.

Then work through Guo Tong to take down Zhang Yan.

"Knock knock."

"Come in."

Wu Yun pushed the door open and walked in, smilingly asking: "Director Song, is there anything to do today?"

"Not for now." He was still waiting for a call from Captain Cao of the economic investigation team.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was another knock on the door.

"Come in."

Creak~

A tall woman gently pushed the door open and walked in; it was Miss Jiang Yiren.

She was dressed in a black women's suit, wearing flat shoes with her fair ankles exposed, making her appear tall, slender, and neat.

Wu Yun was stunned when she saw her.

She was equally stunned when she saw Wu Yun.

"You're here."

Song Guanchao said: "Have a seat first."

He picked up his phone and called Zhou Xingjian: "Director Zhou, can you come over for a bit?"

Before long, Zhou Xingjian came in. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

When he saw the two beautiful women in the office, Zhou Xingjian's eyes suddenly lit up, followed by a feeling of discomfort throughout his body.

These two women were too beautiful!

Women who are overly beautiful can make ordinary men feel pressured, causing a feeling of insecurity.

Song Guanchao said: "This is Miss Jiang Yiren, transferred from Lingjiang by the Organization Department. Please assist her with the employment procedures."

"Oh, okay." Zhou Xingjian was about to take her away, but suddenly stopped: "Director Song, which department will Miss Jiang go to?"

Song Guanchao replied: "Deputy Director of the Secretariat."

"Okay."

"Miss Jiang, please follow me."

"Oh." After Jiang Yiren left, Wu Yun asked: "Why is she here?"

Her tone was a bit jealous.

Song Guanchao helplessly replied: "Secretary Zhou arranged it."

"Secretary Zhou?" Wu Yun said in surprise: "Why would he arrange for Jiang Yiren?"

"It's a bit complicated."

But since there was nothing urgent, Song Guanchao went through the details with her.

From the dinner party to yesterday's arrangement by Zhou Zheng to mitigate the impact of the case, he had specifically transferred Jiang Yiren here, and there's her aunt Yu Susu, etc.

"That woman is Jiang Yiren's aunt."

"Yes."

Just then, Captain Cao's call finally came in.

"Captain Cao… No problem, I'll come to collect it."

After hanging up, Song Guanchao said: "Follow me."

They went to the economic investigation team, where Song Guanchao met Captain Cao, a burly man.

"Here's all the information on Guo Tong."

Captain Cao handed him a thick stack of documents.

"Thank you, Captain Cao."

"Just doing my duty."

Without further pleasantries, Song Guanchao took the documents and left.

Once in the car, Wu Yun drove while Song Guanchao reviewed the documents.

As expected of the economic investigation team, the information gathered was detailed.

In addition to the companies in which Guo Tong himself had shares or involvement, they also investigated the companies that acquired those nine national enterprises.

After acquiring the national enterprises, these companies split and sold them, and then dissolved them.

But dissolving them was futile; how they sold them and to whom, all had records.

Furthermore, details of the other purchasing companies were all uncovered.

In this era of information, perfect invisibility almost doesn't exist.

Whatever you do, traces will always be left behind.

As long as there are traces, they can be discovered.

Song Guanchao took out his phone and jotted down a few of the more important names.

While waiting at a traffic light, he suddenly received a call from an unfamiliar number.

"Director Song, fancy a cup of tea?"

The unfamiliar voice and number, yet the person spoke as though they had long known him.

Almost instantly, Song Guanchao guessed the caller's identity.

"Boss Guo, pick a place."

"Haha." Guo Tong laughed, not expecting that Song Guanchao would realize his identity.

"Alright, I'll send it to you shortly."

Soon, Guo Tong sent an address.

Song Guanchao opened the navigation system: "Let's go here."

The teahouse was near the City Government, its selected location apparent in attempting to ease Song Guanchao's worries.

After parking, Song Guanchao said: "You don't need to come."

Who knows what Guo Tong intends to discuss, and the more people who know, the more involved they become.

He wasn't afraid of these demons and monsters, but couldn't rule out the possibility of Guo Tong targeting those around him.

"Who is it?"

"Guo Tong."

"Ah?" Wu Yun exclaimed in surprise: "Why would he..."

She quickly figured out the crux of the matter and said: "I want to go!"

Song Guanchao helplessly said: "Listen, wait here for me."

Wu Yun was a bit reluctant; she knew Song Guanchao was trying to protect her, but she didn't consider herself a burden.

"I'll buy you bubble tea later."

Song Guanchao patted her head, placed the documents down, and entered the teahouse.

The attendant led him to an upstairs private room, where he met the middle-aged man.

Ordinary appearance, medium build, wearing inconspicuous clothes; there was nothing about him that indicated he was wealthy, a stunning display of low-profile.

Guo Tong poured him a cup of tea: "Director Song, shall we be friends?"

Song Guanchao picked up the tea and blew on it, not even looking at him: "I don't befriend criminals."

Guo Tong was completely unbothered: "Only those who are convicted are criminals."

"Is Mr. Guo provoking me, thinking I can't catch you by the tail?"

"Director Song is mistaken; I just think such a small matter doesn't call for such action."

Guo Tong said: "You've already caught so many people, it should be enough. Why uproot the radish and bring the dirt along? Besides, aren't you concerned about provoking people you can't afford to provoke?"

Song Guanchao took a sip of the still-hot tea, saying: "Do you have evidence of Zhang Yan accepting bribes? Give me her evidence, and you can leave Jiangzhou."
