After briefing Wu Yun, Song Guanchao went back upstairs to Xu Xin's office.

"Secretary Song."

Xu Xin quickly stood up and poured him tea. Song Guanchao wanted to refuse, but the words stopped on his lips.

Some small actions of a woman actually contain many meanings.

For example, pouring tea is an indication of hoping he would stay in the office a bit longer.

When she placed the teacup beside Song Guanchao, her body was very close to his, even touching his arm.

The fragrance from her body wafted into Song Guanchao's nose when she bent down to set the cup.

It was like wanting some physical contact with him but having to maintain a distance, only able to express through this.

Song Guanchao told her why he came.

"Alright, I'll send the documents over later."

Xu Xin looked at him with sparkling eyes, "Is there anything else?"

"No."

"Oh." Xu Xin's eyes dimmed a bit, yet she saw Song Guanchao staring at her face.

His gaze made her a bit embarrassed.

Song Guanchao suddenly asked, "Did you put on makeup?"

Xu Xin was startled but then showed a bit of delight, softly replying, "Yes."

She didn't usually wear makeup, but since that night, she got up half an hour early every day to do a beautiful makeup.

A woman dresses up for the one she admires.

She wore makeup for Song Guanchao to see.

Song Guanchao noticed it and realized her little thoughts, which made her very happy.

"Looks very nice." Song Guanchao smiled slightly and drank the tea, "The tea is also very good."

"I specially bought these tea leaves. If you like it, I'll prepare some for you every day."

Xu Xin's tone was calm, but a careful anticipation could be heard.

Hoping Song Guanchao would agree, yet afraid he might refuse.

"Sure, then I'll come often."

"Mmm mmm."

Seeing such a simple sentence could make her so happy, Song Guanchao suppressed the urge to leave immediately and casually found a topic.

"Are you going back to Huangni Village in the future?"

"Yes," Xu Xin said, "I'm planning to go back once during this period."

"Why suddenly go back?"

"I want to move my parents' graves to the cemetery."

Xu Xin's eyes dimmed a bit.

The villagers had dug up her parents' graves, although Song Guanchao didn't tell her, she knew.

Even though Li Zhuang had rebuilt a grave afterward, with such a big incident happening in Huangni Village, it's hard to guarantee the villagers won't dig the grave again.

Song Guanchao said, "Let me know before you go back, I'll go with you."

Xu Xin felt warm inside, but she said, "No need, I can go back myself."

"I'll go with you."

"Don't go back alone. Those people in Huangni Village are not good. You're a girl. If you get bullied, you'll regret it."

"Do you understand?"

"Mmm, I understand." Xu Xin's lips curled up into a happy arc.

The feeling of being cared for is really nice.

After leaving her office, Song Guanchao turned and went to Chu Xiao'e's office.

"What do you want to ask this time?"

That day, Song Guanchao ran several errands.

"Do you know anyone at the Audit Bureau?"

Chu Xiao'e's expression became increasingly peculiar, "What are you planning to do?"

Wasn't it about the National Development and Reform Commission, why suddenly involve the Audit Bureau?

Song Guanchao, calm and composed, said, "I plan to tackle the National Development and Reform Commission."

"Ah?"

Chu Xiao'e's first reaction was that he was crazy.

But thinking about Song Guanchao's personality, she knew he was serious.

Moreover, for such a big matter, it couldn't be his sole decision, it must be Secretary Wu's intention.

However, with him taking the lead, it's too easy to offend people.

Letting the Audit Bureau audit the National Development and Reform Commission is like flipping the table.

If the news spreads, it will rock the Lingjiang political scene.

Chu Xiao'e said, "The ones who deal most with the Audit Bureau are mainly the Police and the Disciplinary Committee, other departments rarely interact."

"Is that so." Song Guanchao took out his phone and called his father-in-law, "Director Liang, do you know anyone at the Audit Bureau?"

"Not really."

"Whose man is the Director, do you know?"

"He's probably Mayor Jiang's man."

Probably...

Which means not certain.

After hanging up, Song Guanchao stood up, "I'll go now."

To have the Audit Bureau involved, at his level, it's not feasible.

After all, it's a city-level department, to go through the procedure, the City Government must issue the documents.

Since it's Mayor Jiang's man, it's easy to handle.

He knocked on the office door and told Wu Qiangwei about his plan to have the Disciplinary Committee go to the National Development and Reform Commission.

Wu Qiangwei's expression didn't change, obviously not finding anything inappropriate about Song Guanchao's maneuver.

Song Guanchao continued, "Secretary, I think just the Disciplinary Committee isn't enough. I want the Audit Bureau to be involved too."

"The Audit Bureau..." Wu Qiangwei said, "The Disciplinary Committee already serves to make a statement, the Audit Bureau is unnecessary."

Song Guanchao said, "I think it's still very necessary. Deploying the Disciplinary Committee shows an attitude, having the Audit Bureau involved makes them see reality."

"Director Xie from the Audit Bureau might be Mayor Jiang's man. Mayor Jiang owes me a favor, he'd surely help."

Wu Qiangwei understood what he meant.

If the Audit Bureau steps in, it means Mayor Jiang is taking action.

In addition to her, Wu Qiangwei, there's now Mayor Jiang targeting the National Development and Reform Commission.

The pressure on the National Development and Reform Commission increases.

Song Guanchao's idea is simple, either do nothing or strike decisively with one blow.

Wu Qiangwei picked up the phone and dialed the City Government's landline, "This is Wu Qiangwei from the City Committee, connect me to Mayor Jiang."

A few seconds later, Wu Qiangwei said, "Hello, Mayor Jiang."

Wu Qiangwei briefly explained the situation, mainly telling him about the National Development and Reform Commission hindering Song Guanchao's project.

Her intention was clear, which was that this help wasn't for her, but for Song Guanchao.

Hou Wen Case, it was Song Guanchao who helped him resolve it.

70 billion!

This favor is significant!

Even helping Song Guanchao this time wouldn't clear it.

After hearing Wu Qiangwei's words, Jiang Yuan certainly agreed.

"Okay, I understand. I'll have Director Xie contact Secretary Song directly later. You tell Secretary Song to communicate his requests directly with Director Xie."

After hanging up the phone, within a few minutes, Song Guanchao received a call from an unknown number.

"Hello, is this Secretary Song?"

"Yes, it's me." Song Guanchao asked, "Is this Director Xie?"

"Yes." Director Xie said, "Secretary Song, what kind of audit do you need us to conduct at the National Development and Reform Commission?"

Song Guanchao said, "Primarily audit the implementation of the major policy measures concerning Lingjiang by the National Development and Reform Commission."

"Sure, no problem."

"Director Xie, when approximately can you go there?"

"Tomorrow afternoon, perhaps."

Director Xie said, "Our unit is quite busy, I need to call back some people."

The Audit Bureau is incredibly busy, the main auditors spend two hundred days a year on business trips.

Auditors from counties and districts are called by provincial and city audit bureaus to work.

Provincial and city auditors assist the police and Disciplinary Committee all day, obtaining audits from companies and various units.

No bull or horse is as busy as them.

"Alright, thank you, Director Xie."

After hanging up, Song Guanchao smiled and said, "All done."

Seeing his cunning smile, Wu Qiangwei also smiled and then asked, "The Standing Committee is about to begin, how's your contact with the Finance Bureau going?"

Just after she finished speaking, Song Guanchao's phone rang again.

This time, it was Liang Hao calling.

He shook his phone, "It should be news from the Finance Bureau."
