Official Career Storm-Chapter 1321

After everything was done, the passion subsided.

Qu Xiangru lay on top of him, her body rising and falling with heavy breaths.

She summoned some strength, propped herself up, and rolled off him.

Once her breathing was steady, Qu Xiangru asked, "Speak."

Truly heartless.

Just now, she was shouting so loudly, and now that it's over, she's back to being all cold and aloof.

Song Guanchao pulled her into his arms, playfully grasping her soft chest, and said, "Lu Zhizhong came to see me at noon today."

Qu Xiangru frowned and said, "I'm not interested."

Song Guanchao seemed not to hear, continuing, "Lu Zhizhong suggested I take a position in the Provincial Government."

Qu Xiangru sneered, "Anyone can make a suggestion, but can you really go?"

Song Guanchao said, "I can."

"He said if I want to go, he can make it happen for me."

Qu Xiangru seemed to have heard a joke and said, "Are you going to say it or not?"

Song Guanchao said, "I already said it."

"Huh?" Qu Xiangru, thinking he was teasing her, looked up angrily, only to see him smiling at her.

Her small face instantly turned cold, and she tried to pull his hand away.

But Song Guanchao held her tightly.

"Hey, we haven't seen each other for a while; how did you become so foolish?"

Song Guanchao sighed, pulling her back onto him, kneading her plump bottom vigorously.

Song Guanchao asked, "Have you dealt with Lu Zhizhong?"

"Are you going to say it or not?" she was getting a bit impatient.

"Hey..." Song Guanchao sighed again, "I said it; you're the one who doesn't understand."

Did he say it?

Qu Xiangru thought carefully, and his words were indeed simple.

But he clearly mentioned Lu Zhizhong suggested him go to the Provincial Government... Wait!

It seemed she had guessed something, her thick eyebrows furrowed deeply, and she said in disbelief, "Lu Zhizhong?"

Song Guanchao nodded with a smile.

"How can it be..." The moment she finished her sentence, she closed her mouth and fell silent.

Recalling Secretary Gao and Governor Hou's operations during this time, and considering that there really is no suitable candidate for Governor within the province,

after analyzing, if Lu Zhizhong were chosen as Governor, although a bit absurd, it's not impossible.

But she couldn't understand why Lu Zhizhong?

Among so many prefecture-level cities, with all those City Secretaries from top-ranking economies, why choose a Lu Zhizhong with such a low ranking?

"Ah~"

While she was lost in thought, she suddenly felt a bulging sensation.

Song Guanchao had somehow entered her without her noticing.

Caught off guard, she trembled involuntarily.

"What are you doing… mm~"

Just as she was about to speak, Song Guanchao sealed her lips, rolled over her, and started the second round.

She pounded on Song Guanchao's shoulders, but it felt like scratching an itch.

Soon, the sound of heavy breathing intensified again.

Deep into the night, after who knows how many times, Song Guanchao finally stopped.

Qu Xiangru, not having seen him for a long time, had been thoroughly satiated.

The reason she came to see Song Guanchao tonight was actually because of tomorrow's Provincial Committee meeting.

She knew that at tomorrow's meeting, there was no way she could be promoted to Governor, and she felt a bit down.

When feeling low, she always wanted to find someone to console her or to talk to.

But after thinking it over, she realized that there wasn't anyone she could talk to.

The only comfort she could find was in Song Guanchao.

But she couldn't truly open up to Song Guanchao, she just purely wanted to see him, and by the way, rent a room and go crazy for a night.

Song Guanchao turned his head to look at her, "Do you want more?"

"…" Qu Xiangru didn't want to respond to him. Even with her state of mind, she couldn't help but want to complain.

This guy is just an animal!

Song Guanchao chuckled, pulling her into his arms, and said, "Tell me after tomorrow's committee meeting ends."

"Tell you what?" she asked knowingly.

"Looks like you haven't had enough."

Song Guanchao turned over and pressed down on her again, making Qu Xiangru a little panicked, quickly saying, "I'm tired."

"I'm not."

"Get off."

"Are you going to tell me tomorrow?"

Qu Xiangru really wanted to be strong and not respond, but she was afraid Song Guanchao would continue.

She really couldn't take it anymore.

And it was almost midnight now, and she had a meeting early tomorrow. If things went on too late, it would definitely affect her.

So she compromised.

"Hmm."

Only then did Song Guanchao, satisfied, get off her, pull up the blanket to cover them, and held her in his arms, saying, "Sleep now."

Feeling his warm chest and strong arms, Qu Xiangru suddenly felt a great sense of peace and soon drifted into sleep.

The next day.

Song Guanchao sat in the classroom, listening to the old professor lecture, but his thoughts had already drifted to the Provincial Committee.

He checked the time, thinking the committee meeting should have started by now.

He wondered whether his guess would be correct.

When he thought of this yesterday, even he felt it was a bit absurd.

A head of a low-ranking prefecture-level city being selected as Governor.

The odds of this are lower than winning the lottery.

And he shared the same thought as Qu Xiangru, why him?

Even if they didn't choose from among Qu Xiangru, Secretary Tian, or others, there were still so many City Secretaries to choose from.

Why was it specifically Lu Zhizhong?

It must be known that Lu Zhizhong had a tarnished record.

After leaving Lingjiang, he almost took several hundred companies with him, and just with this stain, he shouldn't be able to hold any important post again in this lifetime.

Song Guanchao could only tell himself that he was only speculating, and only after the committee meeting ends will they know.

Meanwhile, in the Provincial Committee Building, in the large meeting room, the committee meeting was underway.

At today's meeting, several others attended as non-voting participants.

Even Wu Qiangwei was there.

Everyone knew Governor Hou was retiring.

This committee meeting was most likely to determine the candidate for the new Governor.

After one topic concluded, Secretary Gao said, "The next topic is the nomination for the new Governor."

The people in the meeting room instantly became alert.

Secretary Gao said, "Governor Hou is not in good health, as everyone knows, and his retirement application has already been approved by the organization."

"Regarding the candidate for the new Governor, comrades from the Central Organization Department have talked with me and Governor Hou, and it's finally decided that the appointment decision for the new Governor will be delegated to the province, for us to decide."

This remark stirred up a thousand waves!

These words instantly silenced the entire meeting room.

A pairs of disbelieving eyes scanned back and forth between Secretary Gao and Governor Hou.

The ones whose emotions surged the most were Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Committee Tian Kai Ming and Provincial Development and Reform Commission Director Zhang Jie.

The appointment power being in the province!

This means that the new Governor's candidate will definitely not come from among them, but there is another candidate!

Secretary Tian's face was very unpleasant, no matter how much he tried to control it, it was still hard to conceal his inner anger.

He thought for this reshuffle, the Governor's position was his for the taking!

Yet, he miscalculated!

From the very beginning, Secretary Gao and Governor Hou never included him in the candidates for Governor!

Many people also turned their gaze towards Secretary Tian, seeing his reaction, everyone had their own thoughts.

"If anyone has a recommended candidate, please speak up now." Secretary Gao broke the silence with a smile.
