"Knock knock."

Song Guanchao pushed the door open. Wu Qiangwei looked up: "What's up?"

"There's a bit of a problem with Si Qingqing."

He reported the news he had just received to Wu Qiangwei.

Song Guanchao had abundant experience dealing with these kinds of matters.

Reporting to Wu Qiangwei was not to seek advice or solutions, it was simply to report.

This was Wu Qiangwei's requirement, no matter big or small, everything must be reported.

It's not that she has a strong desire for control, but she doesn't want Song Guanchao to hide anything from her.

The core is actually two words—trust.

The message she wants to convey to Song Guanchao is that they are one, in a symbiotic relationship.

After hearing Song Guanchao's words, Wu Qiangwei frowned.

The Judicial Bureau is not a strong department, they can't really do much, most of the time they are just along for the ride.

Si Qingqing caused a problem just a month into her term, no matter how clever the person's means, the fact is Si Qingqing had no sense of crisis.

But anyway, Si Qingqing is her person, and if there's an issue, it has to be resolved.

"You go handle it then."

"Mm."

After work.

Song Guanchao drove to Chu Xiao'e's house.

When they got off the car, they walked into the elevator together.

"Is she here?"

"Upstairs."

Coming out of the elevator, Chu Xiao'e went to open the door.

Upon entering the room, they saw Si Qingqing already sitting on the sofa.

She heard the door open and immediately stood up.

"Senior..."

She was just about to come over when she suddenly saw Song Guanchao following in.

She suddenly became a bit angry: "Senior, you told him?"

She had told Chu Xiao'e about it and especially asked her not to tell Song Guanchao.

But not only did she tell him, she brought him here.

Si Qingqing felt betrayed.

Chu Xiao'e gave her a look of disappointment and threw her handbag heavily on the hallway shoe cabinet: "You've caused such big trouble, how long do you plan to hide it?"

"I wasn't hiding..."

"Shut up!"

Si Qingqing suddenly dared not look at her.

She had never seen her senior this angry.

After changing shoes, Chu Xiao'e said, "I'm going to cook."

Song Guanchao held her back: "Don't cook, let's order takeout."

"Mm."

Chu Xiao'e went to sit down and took out her phone to order takeout.

Song Guanchao sat beside and looked at Si Qingqing who was still standing there, stubbornly biting her lip, and said, "Director Si, sit down."

This "Director Si" made her emotions completely break down.

"Song Guanchao, are you mocking me?"

Her lips trembled slightly, her eyes were red, as if she could cry at any moment, her emotions were on the verge of collapse.

"Mocking?"

Song Guanchao put away his polite smile and said, "Are you taking yourself too seriously?"

"What do you think, how did you become a director?"

"Was it because the leaders valued your ability? Do you really have ability?"

"If you had ability, you wouldn't have been set up just after being transferred!"

"Without Secretary Chu's recommendation, you'd never leave the City Government Office in your life."

"As a person, you need self-awareness. Without it, even with help from others, you're still an unhelpable waste."

Song Guanchao's tone was flat, without a hint of extra emotion.

But the more straightforward his tone was, the bigger the blow to Si Qingqing.

Si Qingqing's tears rolled down, emotionally she said, "I didn't beg you to make me a director!"

"Ha."

Song Guanchao said, "I'm here to solve problems, not to watch you vent your emotions."

"If you want to solve the problem, dry your tears and tell me every detail of what happened."

"If you don't want to solve it, the door's over there."

Si Qingqing shouted, "I didn't ask you to come, nor did I ask you to solve it!"

After saying that, she wiped away her tears and turned to leave.

"Stop!"

Chu Xiao'e walked over to pull her.

Si Qingqing turned back and said, "I can solve it myself, no need for his pretentiousness..."

"Snap!"

Chu Xiao'e angrily slapped her face, leaving Si Qingqing stunned.

"Si Qingqing, you're too disappointing!"

"I recommended you to Secretary Wu to give you a hand, I thought you had ability, but you really disappoint me!"

"Secretary Song invited you, who allowed you to bring outsiders?"

"An issue arises, Secretary Song helps you solve it, what childish tantrums are you throwing here?"

"You think this is school? You think everyone's your parents, can spoil you?"

"In the City Government Office, you got oppressed by Secretary Zhang, that's Secretary Zhang's problem."

"Now at the Judicial Bureau, being caught with dirt not even half a month, is also other's problem?"

"You can't be careful in your own work and cause trouble, still throwing a spoiled brat tantrum here, who do you think you are?"

"Solve it yourself, how will you solve it? Kneel down and beg Ding Lingyan to let you go?"

Chu Xiao'e's words sharply struck her heart, Si Qingqing pursed her lips and continued crying without saying a word.

Having vented all her dissatisfaction in one breath, Chu Xiao'e turned back and sat on the sofa, coldly said, "I'll help you one last time now. If you continue being willful, leave immediately. But let me tell you, once you leave this door, never contact me again, life or death doesn't concern me."

Si Qingqing clenched her fists, wanting to impulsively leave immediately to show them her determination.

But the remaining rationality made her suppress this impulse.

If she really leaves, can she really solve this matter?

What she had said was just words of anger.

She absolutely couldn't solve it.

She wiped her tears and walked over to sit down.

Seeing her sit, Chu Xiao'e silently breathed a sigh of relief.

The two women had known each other for many years and went to the same university, after all, there were feelings involved.

Unless absolutely necessary, she didn't want Si Qingqing to fend for herself.

Song Guanchao said, "Speak, be detailed, don't leave out anything."

Si Qingqing lowered her head, choked with sobs, started recounting the situation in detail.

After hearing her out, Song Guanchao took out a cigarette, held it between his fingers but didn't light it.

Chu Xiao'e had a cleanliness obsession, there was no ashtray at home.

He simply was accustomed to needing a cigarette when thinking about problems.

Chu Xiao'e got up to fetch a disposable cup, filled with some water, placed it on the coffee table: "Go ahead."

Song Guanchao didn't protest, lit it up and asked, "Where's the USB drive?"

Si Qingqing hesitated for a few seconds and said, "It's with my classmate."

"Classmate?"

Song Guanchao frowned: "You told someone else about this?"

"Mm... Yes."

Si Qingqing said, "He, he's using this matter to threaten me."

Song Guanchao's eyelids twitched fiercely.

This foolish woman!

She was so foolish that Song Guanchao wanted to hit her.

If he hadn't asked, she probably wouldn't have planned to mention this matter.

Song Guanchao flared his nostrils and said, "Si Qingqing, I'm going to remind you once more, don't hide anything, tell me everything related. Do you understand my words?"

"I understand." Si Qingqing suddenly felt a bit scared, she felt Song Guanchao at this moment was a bit frightening, putting a lot of pressure on her.
