Song Guanchao saw Yang Kangji and was a little surprised, but it was only a surprise.

He smiled and said, "Director Yang, what a coincidence."

Yang Kangji did not know what expression to show.

He wanted to smile but felt it would be too ingratiating to the other party.

And after knowing it was Song Guanchao who was playing tricks on him, his first reaction was not to mend the relationship but to feel furious.

As a dignified deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, he was put in a bind by a little secretary.

He felt embarrassed.

Initially, he believed Director Huang's words that the auditors' visit had nothing to do with Song Guanchao.

But now, seeing the man coming out of Mayor Jiang's office, how could it not be related?

It was obviously Song Guanchao's maneuver.

"Secretary Song." Although Director Huang did not know him well, he recognized him from news reports he'd seen.

"Who might this be..."

"Huang Lu."

"Oh, it's Director Huang."

Song Guanchao actually recognized him. Yesterday, when he went to the National Development and Reform Commission, he saw his photo in the main leaders' picture frame.

He reached out to shake hands: "Hello, Director Huang."

"Hello, hello."

Director Huang took out his phone: "Secretary Song, can I have your number? If you have time tonight, would you like to have a meal together?"

"It would be my honor."

"I'll book a place later and let you know."

After Song Guanchao left, Director Huang's face turned dark, and he cursed in a low voice, "Yang Kangji, are you brain-dead or dumb? What kind of attitude is that you're showing?"

This idiot Yang Kangji was driving Director Huang crazy.

The man had already brought over people from the Disciplinary Committee and the audit bureau, and yet you are still here pretending to be profound and taking airs!

Do you think you're worthy?

You really don't know your place!

Yang Kangji felt embarrassed by the scolding, luckily there was only Fang Wei around.

"Hmph!"

He snorted heavily, then Director Huang said to Fang Wei, "Secretary Fang, could you please tell Mayor Jiang that I have something to report?"

"Alright."

Fang Wei went into the office and came out after a while.

"Mayor Jiang is busy."

"Ah, alright, alright, it's okay, I'll wait here."

Director Huang knew that Mayor Jiang was angry, deliberately giving him the cold shoulder.

He just stood there quietly waiting.

About ten minutes later, the phone on the desk rang, Fang Wei answered: "Okay."

Putting down the receiver, Fang Wei said, "Director Yang, Mayor Jiang asked you to go in."

"Oh, alright."

Yang Kangji straightened his clothes, walked over, knocked on the door, and gently pushed it open to enter.

Director Huang continued to stand waiting outside, feeling somewhat uneasy inside.

He listened intently but did not hear any sound of reproach from inside.

About five or six minutes later, Yang Kangji came out.

He had a relaxed expression on his face.

Director Huang asked, "What did Mayor Jiang say?"

Yang Kangji said, "I explained it to Mayor Jiang, and he didn't really say much to me."

"Didn't scold you?"

"No, Mayor Jiang has a good temper."

"...Good temper, my ass!

You were secretly contacting Zheng Bihui behind Mayor Jiang's back, and yet he didn't even scold you. And you think that's good?

He knew that Yang Kangji had already been abandoned by Mayor Jiang.

This made him even more anxious inside.

He didn't know what kind of attitude Mayor Jiang had towards him.

"Director Huang, I'll head back first, I need to have a chat with Secretary Song."

"Go ahead."

After Yang Kangji left, he waited for over half an hour.

Until the door of the office opened from the inside.

He hurriedly stepped forward: "Mayor Jiang."

Mayor Jiang didn't even look at him, walked straight away, heading to the restroom.

He followed step by step, waiting outside the restroom.

After Mayor Jiang came out, he continued to follow him.

Back at the entrance of the office, Mayor Jiang paused and said, "Come in."

Director Huang was stunned for a moment, quickly responded with an "ah," and followed.

He closed the door, walked over, saw the water in the teacup was low, grabbed the kettle and filled it up.

After refilling the tea, he just stood by, not sitting or speaking.

Mayor Jiang's expression was calm, neither happy nor angry.

After a few seconds of silence, Mayor Jiang asked, "How did you become this director?"

Hearing this sentence, the heart that Director Huang had been holding finally settled.

He knew that Mayor Jiang hadn't given up on him.

"Mayor, I only found out about this this morning too."

Director Huang did not shrug off responsibility, explaining the situation in full to him.

After listening, Mayor Jiang asked, "Did the Disciplinary Committee also go?"

"Yes," Director Huang said, "But this Secretary Song knows how to handle things, the Disciplinary Committee only came to supervise the department led by Yang Kangji. I think it's just to give him a warning."

Mayor Jiang hummed, "This matter is not Secretary Song's fault."

"Yes, of course, it's not his fault. Anyone would get angry about this."

"This matter, you take care of it."

"Mayor Jiang, rest assured!"

"Also, tighten up the department, don't let things happen without your knowledge, hearing it from someone else's mouth first."

Director Huang nodded repeatedly and finally asked, "Mayor, how should we handle Yang Kangji?"

Mayor Jiang gave him a look: "Do I need to teach you how to use chopsticks to eat?"

"Understood!"

Director Huang understood his meaning.

This was to completely abandon Yang Kangji.

After coming out of the City Government, Director Huang first booked a restaurant, then sent the location to Song Guanchao.

Meanwhile.

After going downstairs, Yang Kangji had been calling Song Guanchao, but no one answered.

Yang Kangji was anxiously pacing in circles.

He knew that this was intentional by Song Guanchao.

Just like when Song Guanchao called him that day, he intentionally didn't answer either.

He just didn't expect the tables to turn so quickly.

Within just one day, their positions had swapped.

Moreover, he couldn't understand why a little secretary like Song Guanchao had such capabilities.

The Disciplinary Committee listened to him, and even Mayor Jiang respected him...

Why?

He sat in the office, still persistently dialing, thinking Song Guanchao would just leave him hanging for a while.

After all, the main goal was still to resolve the problem.

Not answering the phone, how could the issue be solved?

"Damn you, Song Guanchao!"

After calling countless times and still not getting through, he finally couldn't bottle it up anymore.

He cursed fiercely.

Frowning, he thought about the trouble this incident had caused him and couldn't help but feel restless.

He found Zheng Bihui's number and dialed it.

After all, he was being bullied because he was doing things for Mayor Zheng.

He had to let Zheng Bihui know about this.

Otherwise, the grievance would be suffered in vain.

"Mayor Zheng, hope I'm not disturbing you?"

"Ah, Director Yang, what's up?"

"Alas, Mayor Zheng, I've gotten into big trouble while trying to help you this time."

"Oh? How so?"

Yang Kangji exaggerated the situation and told him about it.

Zheng Bihui was taken aback.

Did it cause such a big fuss?

This guy, why isn't he playing by the usual rules?

"Did Mayor Jiang meet with you today?"

"Yes."

"What did Mayor Jiang say? Did he scold you?"

"No, not really."

"Didn't scold? Didn't blame you either?"

"No."

This was bad.

Zheng Bihui thought to himself, this guy privately colluding with me has touched Jiang Yuan's sore spot.

Most likely, he's been abandoned by Jiang Yuan.

However, for him, this could be a great opportunity.

Zheng Bihui said seriously, "Director Yang, your current situation is very dire."
