Song Hao glared at Lin Chuan, saying, "You and I are irreconcilable, just you wait."

Having said that, Song Hao dashed off quickly.

A smile appeared on Lin Chuan's face. Just then, Luo Guoqing hurriedly sidled up to him and whispered, "Lin Chuan, you've gone too far."

"What's the matter?" Lin Chuan asked.

"You shouldn't have offended him," Luo Guoqing said helplessly.

"What's this about should and shouldn't?" Lin Chuan said with disdain, "When others bully you to your face, are you supposed to just keep enduring? No matter what, I'm still a man, I can't just stand by while someone shits and pisses on your head, right?"

"This..." Luo Guoqing's face showed embarrassment.

At this moment, the Song brothers were delighted.

"Now there's a good show to watch," Song Wen laughed heartily.

"Right." Song Wu nodded and said, "Even the son of Vice Secretary Song has met someone who can't recognize Mount Tai? Now we'll have a spectacle, haha..."

The surrounding onlookers all nodded and praised.

At that moment, Song Wu began to laugh coldly while Song Wen was curving his lips into a peculiar smile. While they were talking, they occasionally turned their heads to glance at Lin Chuan.

The arrival of Song Hao seemed to have upset the balance in this lounge.

The previously disadvantaged Song brothers suddenly seemed to find a backer, and immediately they became triumphant. Lin Chuan seemed to have gained another enemy as well. After all, Song Hao was Song Ming's own son, not just the nephew like Song Wen and Song Wu. A son will always be closer than a nephew. If the son is humiliated, how could Song Ming not help?

Of course, given Song Hao's personality, he wouldn't go to Song Ming humbly for help, but as Song Ming's son, he went to Minister Chen.

The head of the personnel department, Minister Chen, upon seeing Song Hao, immediately showed a flattering smile.

"Oh, Mr. Song?" Minister Chen was an old hand, already having a clear grasp of the affairs inside the lounge, and was very aware of the relationship network of each person there. He wouldn't go out of his way to offend anyone, nor would he put pressure on anyone because of someone else. Minister Chen only needed to maintain the balance among these people in the lounge. Even though many of them had backgrounds that were mutually adversarial, his job was simply to keep the balance.

"Minister Chen," Song Hao stormed in with a fierce momentum.

"What... What happened?" Minister Chen pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose and asked awkwardly, "Who has wronged you?"

"Your subordinate." Song Hao sat down on Minister Chen's chair with a thud and then said, "You've got to make a fair judgment for me."

"Who is it, blinding their own dog eyes?" Minister Chen roared with anger, "Daring to bully Mr. Song, are they looking for death?"

"It's Lin Chuan," Song Hao said angrily.

"Ah?!" Minister Chen immediately lost his bluster, like a defeated rooster.

"How about it? Are you also unable to deal with him?" Song Hao asked coldly.

"This..." Minister Chen said awkwardly, "Mr. Song, you might not be aware, this... Lin Chuan is a favorite of Secretary Tang's."

"Secretary Tang?" Song Hao was taken aback and said, "Who is Secretary Tang? Isn't my dad the one who calls the shots in Jiangbei City?"

"You... you can't talk nonsense like that." Minister Chen hastily waved his hands, then stealthily glanced at the door, and after making sure no one was there, he said awkwardly, "Secretary Tang is the chief authority of Jiangbei City, your dad is a deputy and also the mayor, he's the second in command."

"How can that be?" Song Hao asked, astonished.

"Hehe, this Tang Yumeng is no ordinary person, you need to be more cautious," Minister Chen hastily advised.

"Hmph, regardless, this Lin Chuan cannot be allowed to remain," Song Hao said harshly.

"Mr. Song, then what do you plan to do about it?" Minister Chen asked.

"Fire this guy for me." Song Hao angrily said.

"Sure," Minister Chen nodded, "But since you said to fire him, then... at least come up with a reason, right? Otherwise, how would we explain it to Secretary Tang?"

"This..." Song Hao pondered for a moment, then said, "This fellow is late for work, and he even dares to smoke in the rest area. He's simply not abiding by the law and discipline, leading by violating the regulations."

"I'm afraid that won't do," Minister Chen quickly shook his head, then added: "Lin Chuan's tardiness had Secretary Tang's approval. Except for Lin Chuan, everyone else must clock in and out on time, with no exceptions for being late or skipping work."

"How could such a special case exist in the City Committee?" Song Hao exclaimed.

"You ask your father," Minister Chen suggested.

Song Hao stood up and said, "Fine, if Minister Chen is reluctant to help, then I will go to my father."

Having said that, Song Hao immediately turned and left the room.

Minister Chen watched Song Hao's retreating figure, and only after Song Hao went upstairs did he leisurely turn and enter his office, then leisurely said: "Sigh, I thought the son of Vice Secretary Song could make something of himself, but it turns out he is also such a disappointment, incapable of standing out."

From Song Hao's words, Minister Chen felt that this guy was nothing more than a profligate son, always acting without thinking things through. If he truly wanted to bring down Lin Chuan, why go through someone else's hand? Simply fabricate some trouble to blame on Lin Chuan, or spread malicious rumors behind his back, any method would be more direct and effective than this. But Song Hao just had to take the long way around. This proves that he is not clever enough.

Inside Vice Secretary Song's office.

Song Ming was discussing work with several subordinates when suddenly, Song Hao pushed open the door of the office.

Inside the office, there was complete silence; everyone curiously looked at Song Hao and said, "Hey, Song Hao, you're back from abroad? When did this happen? Uncle Liu is hosting a banquet at the hotel tonight to welcome you back, how about that?"

"No need," Song Hao shook his head, "I have something to discuss with my dad."

"Then... then alright, we'll leave first," Minister Liu said hastily, standing up.

Rustling...

The others also stood up one after another and left the office.

Song Ming smiled and said, "Xiao Hao, have you come to your senses?"

"I'm willing to develop my career here, but I have one condition," Song Hao said firmly.

"What condition?" Song Ming looked at his son puzzledly.

Since their son had been away from them since high school, the communication between father and son was limited. They only kept in touch via phone calls, and father-son interactions were scarce, to begin with. Thus, Song Ming didn't know his son very well.

It is for this reason that Song Ming wanted his son to return home to develop his career. Although his son had already emigrated to the United States, he could still enter the domestic market under the identity of a foreign investor, enjoying many tax exemption policies, and even receive some subsidies from the government. As long as his son was willing, Song Ming could find ways to set up some business opportunities for him. Even if it might not make a large fortune, it would still allow his son to gain business experience through the trials and tribulations of the business world.

After all, his son was grown up. Continually drifting abroad was not a solution. Sooner or later, he had to return home to develop. Moreover, the status of Asians in the United States was even lower than that of African Americans. In America, those with yellow skin often faced discrimination and bullying.

"Help me get rid of Lin Chuan." Song Hao clenched his teeth and said.

"Did he bully you?" Song Ming asked in surprise.

"That's right," Song Hao nodded, "Just now, this guy actually raised his hand against me."

"Ridiculous," Song Ming slammed the table.

"When you drive Lin Chuan out of the City Committee, I will agree to stay and develop my career in the country," Song Hao replied.

Song Ming's eyes flickered, remaining silent.
