Yang Kangji's face was sullen and sarcastic, "How could I dare have an opinion."

Song Guanchao said, "If you don't dare to have an opinion, then shut your mouth."

"You..."

"Yang Kangji, shut up!" Director Huang reprimanded.

Yang Kangji's face turned blue and white, quite a spectacle.

Song Guanchao said, "It seems Director Yang doesn't want to drink. If you don't want to drink, then don't. The door is over there, leave on your own, don't disturb Director Huang and my pleasant time."

Yang Kangji was so angry that his heart rate became a bit unstable, he really wanted to bang the table and scold someone.

Director Huang slightly frowned, Song Guanchao's attitude was a bit too much.

No matter what, Yang Kangji was still his man.

It was too disrespectful.

"Did Director Yang get water in his ears, or does he not understand human language?"

Song Guanchao picked up a cigarette, lit it, with an expression that you must leave today.

Director Yang didn't speak, just looked at Director Huang.

Director Huang didn't understand why Song Guanchao was acting this way.

Was it deliberate revenge because of Yang Kangji's previous attitude?

Or was it for something else?

Whatever the reason, Song Guanchao has taken it to a point where it's nearly impossible to mend.

He sighed lightly in his heart and said, "Director Yang, you should go back first."

Yang Kangji stood up with a dark face. He initially wanted to mend relations tonight, but Song Guanchao gave him no respect.

"Secretary Song, drink slowly."

Throwing out this cold remark, Yang Kangji sternly pulled out the chair, making a loud noise, and turned to leave the private room.

After he left, Director Huang said, "Director Yang's temper isn't very good, I hope Secretary Song can understand."

Song Guanchao didn't speak, but stared at him for two seconds and said, "Director Huang, do you think I'm someone who doesn't know how to behave, who doesn't even understand the principle of forgiving when possible?"

Director Huang smiled slightly, "Not at all, it was Director Yang who was in the wrong initially."

Song Guanchao said, "Director Huang, there's no need to say such insincere things. It's not that I'm not giving him face, but I know he's already a pawn to be discarded."

"A discarded pawn doesn't need to be treated with respect."

Director Huang was a bit surprised but didn't respond.

Song Guanchao said, "Even I could guess this, Director Huang, do you think Director Yang could guess it?"

Director Huang still said nothing, but was thinking in his heart.

After a while, he shook his head and said, "Yang Kangji isn't that perceptive."

If Yang Kangji had such suspicions, he would have come to find me this afternoon.

Song Guanchao said, "I also noticed that Director Yang isn't very bright. But do you think Mayor Zheng might realize he's been abandoned?"

Director Huang was slightly taken aback, he had never thought of it from this angle.

"Such a big issue, would he not contact Mayor Zheng?"

"After all, it was Mayor Zheng who had him obstruct me. Now that I've retaliated, he will surely report back to Mayor Zheng."

Song Guanchao said, "Mayor Zheng is not stupid."

"Director Huang, what do you think Mayor Zheng would do if he knew?"

"I guess Mayor Zheng would take this opportunity to win him over. After all, he's the deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, with power second only to yours."

Director Huang's expression grew increasingly serious.

He thought, he must inform Mayor Jiang.

No, there's no need for him to say anything.

Mayor Jiang has surely already considered this possibility.

Song Guanchao watched his constantly changing expression and roughly guessed his thought process.

"Director Huang, your current situation is quite awkward."

"If Mayor Zheng wants to win him over, he will definitely keep him in his current position. It will be very difficult, even impossible, to remove Yang Kangji."

"After all, you are a community of interests. If he falls, do you think he might drag you down with him?"

Director Huang's heart tightened, he asked, "Does Secretary Song have any insights?"

"Insights... hehe, actually, yes."

"Oh?" Director Huang asked casually, and surprisingly, there was indeed a suggestion.

Song Guanchao said, "It's actually very simple, just divert the disaster eastwards. Let him offend someone Mayor Zheng can't provoke, and naturally, the problem is solved."

Director Huang thought it over a bit, and understood what Song Guanchao meant.

Indeed, if Yang Kangji offended a big shot, even Zheng Bihui would immediately sever ties with him.

But the problem is, where to find a big shot?

Moreover, how to make him offend this big shot?

It sounds simple, but the practical possibility is too low.

Song Guanchao knew what he was thinking and asked, "Has Director Huang seen Director Li?"

Director Huang smiled bitterly, "There are at least eight hundred if not a thousand directors with the surname Li. Secretary Song, please be more specific."

"Director of the Yanjing Development and Reform Commission, Li Jiuling."

Director Huang was taken aback, then puzzled, "I have met Director Li a few times when I went to Yanjing for meetings."

Why mention this big shot out of the blue?

Song Guanchao said, "Director Li's son has come to Yanjing."

Director Huang's hand shook, and cigarette ash fell all over his pants.

He didn't even bother to wipe it off, and said in shock, "Really?"

"Of course, it's true."

Song Guanchao said, "I went to Yanjing not long ago, and had the fortune to meet Mr. Li. Just as I was getting off work yesterday, I bumped into him at the mall. To be honest, I was also very surprised to see Mr. Li, and for a moment thought I was mistaken."

Li Jiuling's son has actually come to Yanjing!

Director Huang's first reaction was that he might be able to make contact.

But then he reconsidered, they hadn't approached him actively, and being so low-key, they clearly didn't want to get involved.

Approaching hastily may backfire instead.

Besides, even if contact was made, it wouldn't be of much use.

To his knowledge, Director Li's son is living carefree, without any political ambitions.

Li Jiuling is also an expert, trying to connect with him through Li He is almost impossible.

He suppressed the mixed emotions in his heart, frowned, and said, "Secretary Song wants to let Director Yang offend Mr. Li?"

"Exactly."

"That's unlikely. Director Yang isn't a fool; he won't just offend a stranger for no reason."

"There's nothing impossible, it just depends on human action."

Song Guanchao said, "Leave this to me. Consider it a token of gratitude from me to Mayor Jiang."

Director Huang was extremely curious about where Song Guanchao got his confidence.

However, if things really worked out, it would be beneficial for both him and Mayor Jiang.

"Of course, I still need Director Huang's help."

Song Guanchao said, "After all, I don't know Director Yang well."

Director Huang asked, "What does Secretary Song want to know?"

Song Guanchao asked, "Does he usually go to nightclubs?"

This question stumped Director Huang.

It wasn't that he didn't know, but he was deliberating whether to say it.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he nodded, "Yes."

"Does he go frequently?"

"Ahem, yes."

"Does he frequent any particular one?"

"He goes to Fenglin Club quite often."

"Does he go to the club to have fun with women?"

"Ahem, yes."

Having fun with women suggests he's lustful.

Lust is the easiest to make mistakes with.

For someone of Yang Kangji's level, an indiscreet personal life doesn't really matter.

But some issues don't weigh much at first, but if put on the scale, they can become overwhelming.

Few officials dare claim they've never made any mistake; it's just a matter of turning a blind eye and not bothering to deal with it.

When someone wants to move against you, they can easily gather a pile of evidence.

To put it bluntly, almost everyone within the system bears original sin.

Whether you'll be taken down or not depends on your position.

Song Guanchao pretended to ponder for a few seconds, then said, "Then Director Huang, please keep an eye out. Let me know next time he goes to the club."

"No problem."

Director Huang agreed, but couldn't help asking, "Secretary Song, how do you plan to do it?"

He wanted to know how Song Guanchao intended to make Li Jiuling's son and Yang Kangji clash.

Song Guanchao smiled mysteriously, "A wise man has his ways."
