After Li Qingtang left, Qu Xiangru said, "Do you know his identity?"

"I know, he's the Vice Governor's son."

"You know, and you still did this, aren't you afraid Vice Governor Li will give you trouble?"

"Afraid?" Song Guanchao sneered, "Using the Vice Governor's name to seek benefits, such underhanded tactics, does Vice Governor Li dare to give me trouble?"

The means of making money through connections like Li Qingtang's are prevalent everywhere, it's considered normal.

If the people do not report, the officials don't investigate.

But most of these rich second generations are smart and keep a low profile.

Someone like Li Qingtang, so high-profile, is very rare.

After all, this doesn't hold up under investigation.

As long as it's investigated, it will definitely impact Vice Governor Li.

If Vice Governor Li knew what happened today, the first thing he'd do wouldn't be to cause me trouble, but to give Li Qingtang a beating.

It's lonely at the top.

Sitting in the Vice Governor's position, every step is like walking on thin ice, without room for a single mistake.

Song Guanchao dared not to sell his face for two main reasons: first, being clear that Vice Governor Li wouldn't dare to bring the matter to the table publicly.

Secondly, this is Lingjiang, not the Provincial City.

The sky is high and the Emperor is far, imperial power does not reach the countryside.

No matter how big the Vice Governor's power, to deal with him, there must be a legitimate excuse.

Qu Xiangru knew he wasn't as impulsive as he appeared on the surface, nodded, and then left.

Song Guanchao also stood up, went to the cafeteria, got some food back, eating while analyzing the current situation.

With Li Qingtang's involvement, Jiang Sheng also noticed the challenges of the demolition.

Next, they might resort to forced demolition.

The forced demolition is a crucial point.

If there isn't some commotion, the City Committee cannot intervene.

According to Song Guanchao's habit, he would have Zhou Qian secretly film, and once the real estate developers forcibly demolish, immediately post the video online to attract public attention.

But doing so could easily damage Lingjiang's official image.

Therefore, the move of internet public opinion is inadvisable.

But they also can't do nothing.

A plan gradually formed in Song Guanchao's mind.

He wiped his mouth and called Lu Feng: "Madman, stay at Fengmen Building during this time, don't go anywhere."

"What's up?"

"Fengmen Building might undergo forced demolition, capture the process for me!"

...

In the restaurant's private dining room.

When Jiang Sheng saw Li Qingtang, his heart skipped a beat.

This Mr. Li, why does he look so displeased?

"Mr. Li, what's wrong?"

Li Qingtang didn't speak, kept a grim face, and silently smoked.

After finishing one cigarette, Li Qingtang said, "You need to bring out a few more projects."

Jiang Sheng's heart sank.

He had already given Li Qingtang several projects, yet this guy still wants more, isn't this appetite a bit too large?

Just as he was about to tactfully refuse, Li Qingtang said, "I'll contact Ji Lin later, and we'll have a meal together tomorrow. You should yield some benefits to Ji Lin."

Jiang Sheng was startled.

Ji Lin, the son of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission Director Zhang Jie of Nanjiang Province.

How did he invite him too?

Could it be that on Song Guanchao's side, Li Qingtang didn't manage to solve it?

"Mr. Li, about the City Committee..."

"That guy named Song doesn't give me face."

Indeed.

While Jiang Sheng understood, he was also a bit shocked.

This Song Guanchao, really has guts.

The son of Governor Li personally stepped in, yet he couldn't solve it.

Is this guy crazy?

Just because of a personal vendetta with the Jiang Family, he's willing to offend the Vice Governor's son?

How did he manage to become Deputy Secretary's secretary with this level of intelligence?

Fortunately, Li Qingtang has a wide network.

See, he even involved the son of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission Director.

One Vice Governor, one Development and Reform Commission Director.

Under such a powerful union, unless Song Guanchao has completely lost his mind, he absolutely wouldn't dare to cause trouble.

Li Qingtang said, "Let's meet tomorrow and allocate the benefits."

Jiang Sheng responded with a nod, and finally felt relieved.

Although he had to give up another portion of benefits, as long as it saves time, the money spent is worth it.

The next day.

Still the same private dining room.

At the dining table, there was another man of similar age to Li Qingtang.

It was Ji Lin, the son of the Development and Reform Commission Director.

During their meal, the three finalized the specific plan.

After the meal, Jiang Sheng left first.

Ji Lin lit a cigarette, "Tell me, what kind of trouble have you encountered?"

Li Qingtang snorted, recounting his experience at the City Committee yesterday.

After listening, Ji Lin scratched his head and said incredulously, "Are you saying a little secretary doesn't give you face?"

He clicked his tongue in wonder, "This is really something new, where does this little secretary get the guts to challenge you?"

Li Qingtang said dejectedly, "I damn well want to know who gave this kid the guts."

Ji Lin pondered for a few seconds, "Come on, let's go see for ourselves."

"Are you sure you want to go?" Li Qingtang said, "This kid doesn't even give me face, and you think you can manage?"

Ji Lin laughed and cursed, "Whether I can or not, don't we have to go? Besides, didn't you bring me here to resolve this?"

"We'll try being polite first, if that doesn't work, hehe, then we'll get tough."

"A little secretary, could he really turn the world upside down?"

The two arrived at the City Committee, and on their way upstairs, Ji Lin said, "Let me do the talking, you keep your temper in check."

They reached the sixth floor, outside the office.

Song Guanchao looked up, seeing Li Qingtang coming again, he put down the documents in his hand with a smile, "Is Mr. Li looking for Secretary Wu? Secretary Wu is out for research, not here."

Just as Li Qingtang was about to speak, Ji Lin smiled, "This must be Secretary Song."

He extended his hand, "I'm Ji Lin."

Song Guanchao shook hands with him.

The two sat down, "We came today to see Secretary Song."

"Looking for me?" Song Guanchao feigned ignorance, "What does Mr. Ji want with me?"

Ji Lin said, "If Mr. Song is available tonight, I'd like to invite you for a meal."

He wasn't clear about Ji Lin's identity, but since he was with Li Qingtang, he was likely another young master from someone important in the province.

But compared to someone like Li Qingtang, Ji Lin was smarter.

He didn't rely on his family's power to intimidate right off the bat.

But people like this are often harder to deal with than someone like Li Qingtang.

Song Guanchao pretended to be troubled, "I'm not sure if I'll be free tonight, Mr. Ji knows, us secretaries always revolve around the leaders."

"I understand, I understand."

Ji Lin took out his phone, "Secretary Song, let's swap numbers, I'll call you tonight to check if you're available, how about that?"

"Alright."

Song Guanchao exchanged numbers with him, and Ji Lin didn't linger, "I won't disturb Secretary Song's work, we'll contact each other tonight."

Leaving the City Committee, Li Qingtang said, "Why invite him for a meal? I say go directly to Secretary Wu. As long as Secretary Wu agrees, how can a little secretary create any waves?"

Ji Lin leisurely said, "It's easy to deal with the big boss, but pesky underlings are harder. As you said, the conflict with Jiang Sheng is with this secretary."

"Moreover, the project belongs to the City Government, the two secretaries of the City Committee surely wouldn't meddle recklessly."

"Finding Secretary Wu is pointless."

"The problem lies with this little secretary."

"So, we must sort him out to prevent him from causing trouble in the matter."
