"Qu Xiangru?"

Song Guanchao grabbed the document and read it meticulously from beginning to end.

Executive Deputy Governor of Nanjiang Province Qu Xiangru, concurrently appointed as the City Secretary of Lingjiang City.

"This..."

Song Guanchao was a little confused.

How could it be Qu Xiangru?

Not to mention him, Wu Qiangwei also found it incredible when she saw the appointment document.

Song Guanchao suddenly thought of something.

Qu Xiangru had mentioned recommending him for the Deputy Secretary General of the City Committee.

At the time, he had thought Qu Xiangru had used the credit for resolving the Lingjiang crisis to negotiate with several city committee members.

Now it seemed, it wasn't the case at all.

This was her intent to directly promote him as the City Secretary.

Song Guanchao put down the document and asked, "Secretary, what is this about with Qu Xiangru? Is she being promoted or demoted?"

Wu Qiangwei replied, "Normally, taking on an additional position, regardless of level, counts as a promotion."

"She is too young; rising further through normal channels would require at least two or three years."

"But I've heard that Governor Hou might be retiring."

"This concurrent appointment as Lingjiang's top leader is likely not a provincial arrangement, but something she pursued on her own initiative."

"She probably aims to vie for Governor Hou's position."

Song Guanchao suddenly realized and felt quite happy in his heart.

But he realized it wasn't the time to be happy for her.

Qu Xiangru's unexpected move disrupted Wu Qiangwei's plans.

This left Wu Qiangwei pressured to continue serving as the Deputy Secretary.

Wu Qiangwei rubbed her forehead and said, "She'll be in the city shortly, contact her, and arrange a welcome banquet at the guesthouse. Notify all committee members that no one should be absent tonight."

"Okay."

Leaving the office, Song Guanchao found Chu Xiao'e.

"Governor Qu?"

Chu Xiao'e had just found out and reacted similarly to him.

So surprised she didn't know what to say.

"Contact the other committee members, tonight at the guesthouse we're holding a welcome for Governor Qu, I need to coordinate with her now."

"Alright, you go ahead."

Song Guanchao turned and left, then suddenly turned and went to Xu Xin's office.

"Director Xu, come with me."

Then he found Liu Jie and took the two straight to Zheng Bihui's office.

Not seeing Secretary Sun, he knocked on the door and pushed it open without waiting for Zheng Bihui to speak.

Zheng Bihui was smoking with a gloomy face, with the provincial appointment document in front of him.

As the acting City Secretary, he obviously knew about it immediately.

Already in a bad mood, the sudden intrusion of the three made Zheng Bihui curse directly, "Who let you in? Get out!"

Song Guanchao chuckled as he approached and said to the two beside him, "Clean the office, throw out any outsider's stuff. These plants, the trash can, and this chair, throw them out and replace them."

"The new City Secretary is coming soon; don't bring in second-hand things that could carry some bad luck."

After finishing, he pretended to notice Zheng Bihui and feigned surprise, "Secretary Zheng, why are you here too?"

"Oh, my apologies, my memory is so bad, I almost forgot you work here."

"Well, Secretary Zheng... oh no, Mayor Zheng, please pack up your things and take them with you."

"I've received a call from Governor Qu, asking me to clean the office for her to use when she arrives."

Liu Jie and the other two stood still, so Song Guanchao deliberately emphasized, "Don't stand there, start packing."

"Oh." The two immediately started tidying up, hiding smiles on their faces.

Zheng Bihui's chest was about to explode with anger.

This bastard, breaking in right in front of him and wanting to throw away his things.

But the reason was impeccable, leaving him with nothing to say.

With a long face, he packed up his things.

There were neither too many nor too few things, but after all, he was a mayor, where was the reason for him to carry them out himself?

"Secretary Sun, where are you? Come to the office."

After putting down the phone, Secretary Sun soon arrived.

Seeing Liu Jie and Xu Xin tidying up and the things already packed on the table, then seeing Song Guanchao's gloating smile and Zheng Bihui's angry look that could devour people, Secretary Sun was momentarily bewildered.

What's going on?

"Secretary..."

"Secretary Sun, mind your address."

Song Guanchao corrected, "This is Mayor Zheng, don't shout incorrectly, messing up the rules, bring bad luck to the new secretary."

New secretary?

Secretary Sun's pupils contracted, "Secretary Zheng... Mayor, who is the new secretary?"

Zheng Bihui did not answer, but pointed at the things on the table and ordered, "Take these with you and follow me to the City Government."

"Hold on."

Song Guanchao stopped him, smiling, "Secretary Sun, if I remember correctly, your file is still at the City Committee, right?"

This time, Zheng Bihui couldn't hold it in: "Song Guanchao, what do you mean?"

Was he forcing him, a dignified mayor, to carry the things back to the City Government personally?

Secretary Sun was stunned.

Song Guanchao was blatantly threatening him.

Secretary Lu had left, and he thought he could rely on Zheng Bihui, but now Zheng Bihui was going back to the City Government dejectedly.

He again became a rootless duckweed, with no one behind him.

With Song Guanchao's foundation, it would be too easy to deal with him.

No way, he absolutely could not stay at the City Committee!

Secretary Sun immediately said, "I'm now Mayor Zheng's secretary, wherever Mayor Zheng is, I'll be there!"

At this moment, he had to show his stance, swear loyalty.

Hoping Zheng Bihui could move his file to the City Government.

Song Guanchao smiled, "I didn't say you couldn't, just reminding you not to go to the wrong place for work in the future. Remember to come to the City Committee, not the City Government."

Zheng Bihui squinted his eyes and immediately called Chu Xiao'e: "Secretary Chu, come over for a moment."

Chu Xiao'e came over, "Mayor Zheng, what is it?"

Zheng Bihui stared at Song Guanchao and said word by word, "Transfer Secretary Sun's file to the City Government office."

Chu Xiao'e understood clearly that Zheng Bihui was confronting Song Guanchao.

She was speechless, this guy, a secretary able to confront a mayor.

This might be rare nationwide.

Only this guy dared to do so.

But she knew Song Guanchao would not often act arrogantly.

Once he does, he must be confident.

Thinking of this, Chu Xiao'e said, "To transfer Secretary Sun's file, you need to speak with Secretary Wu, I can't decide."

Zheng Bihui almost didn't catch his breath.

He realized, within the whole City Committee, not a single person regarded him.

"Good, good, good!"

Zheng Bihui said three 'goods' in a row, and angrily left, flinging his sleeves.

Secretary Sun gritted his teeth and quickly followed, carrying his things.

Outside the City Committee, Zheng Bihui turned back and looked at the core power building of Lingjiang City, feeling extremely frustrated.

Took the position of Acting City Secretary on Sunday, and was taken to the Police Department that night.

Formally took office on Monday.

On Tuesday, he was driven back to the City Government.

Looking nationwide, there wasn't such a frustrated mayor as him.
