Official Career Storm-Chapter 1398

Evening, at a high-end Korean restaurant.

Cui Shibin walked into the private room, and his eyes lit up with amazement when he saw Wu Qiangwei.

Beautiful, truly beautiful!

As the Consul General under the ambassador to China, Cui Shibin didn't often interact with local officials.

The number of meetings throughout the year could be counted on one hand.

He didn't pay much attention to personnel changes in the local officialdom, only knowing that the mayor had changed.

Today was his first time meeting the new mayor, who had been in office for more than two months.

Unexpectedly, so beautiful.

It made his heart flutter.

"Consul Cui."

Wu Qiangwei stepped forward to shake his hand.

Cui Shibin maintained his composure, lightly shaking hands before letting go.

Various Korean dishes were served at the table, and the staff opened the drinks. Wu Qiangwei said, "You can go now."

She took the drinks and personally poured them for Cui Shibin.

Only the two of them were left in the private room. The flame in Cui Shibin's chest burned stronger, and a wicked thought arose in his mind.

While his thoughts churned, he analyzed the information.

The fact that Song Guanchao took action last night and Wu Qiangwei personally stepped in showed that their relationship was not ordinary.

Wu Qiangwei definitely valued this subordinate greatly.

It's just uncertain how much she was willing to sacrifice for Song Guanchao.

"Does Mayor Wu want to plead for Song Guanchao?" he asked directly.

Wu Qiangwei was surprised; Cui Shibin was quite straightforward.

She nodded, "I hope Consul Cui can give me some face."

Cui Shibin deliberately frowned, "Your subordinate was too harsh."

Wu Qiangwei sincerely said, "I will bring him to apologize to Consul Jin and meet all his demands."

If it were someone else, perhaps some benefits could be promised.

But Wu Qiangwei wasn't that kind of person; she couldn't abuse her power for personal gain.

Cui Shibin toyed with the wine glass, admiring her graceful figure.

He disliked beating around the bush and preferred being straightforward, so he said directly, "Consul Jin has no requests."

Then it's you who has requests?

Wu Qiangwei looked at him.

Cui Shibin asked, "How much is Mayor Wu willing to sacrifice for this matter?"

Wu Qiangwei was puzzled.

Until she saw the undisguised heat in Cui Shibin's eyes towards her body.

Only then did she suddenly understand his meaning.

Wu Qiangwei's heart surged with anger, but she quickly suppressed it, pretending not to understand his words: "I can let him out now, but out of respect for Consul Cui, I hope both sides can sit down amicably and resolve this conflict."

She showed Cui Shibin her attitude, making it clear that she had the means to get Song Guanchao out, but didn't want to damage the harmony.

As for his intention, Wu Qiangwei didn't mention it at all, as fulfilling his wish was impossible.

Cui Shibin chuckled softly and said, "Let's go to the hotel and talk after the meal."

He made no attempt to hide his purpose.

No matter how well-composed Wu Qiangwei was, her expression turned grim.

"No need."

Wu Qiangwei wiped her mouth and said, "Since Consul Cui doesn't want to negotiate, there's no need to talk."

Without any hesitation, she left directly.

After she left, Cui Shibin snorted, feeling a bit regrettable in his heart.

He had overestimated Song Guanchao's position in her heart.

What a shame.

Wu Qiangwei left the restaurant and dialed Liang Jianfeng's number.

"Come with me to the police station."

At eight in the evening, the two met at the police station.

Liang Jianfeng didn't ask what she was doing there and walked in with her.

Director Li, who received the call in advance, hurried over from home, smiling broadly, "Mayor Wu, Director Liang, what brings you two here?"

"Where is Song Guanchao?" Wu Qiangwei asked directly.

"He's in the detention room."

"Bring him over."

"Alright, please wait, Mayor Wu."

Wu Qiangwei had just stepped into the office when Song Guanchao was brought in.

Seeing the handcuffs on his wrists, Liang Jianfeng's face immediately turned sour, "Why is he wearing handcuffs?"

Director Li was secretly annoyed, he had forgotten.

He quickly shouted at the police officers behind him, "Who put the handcuffs on him? Take them off now!"

"No need." Song Guanchao raised his hand, "Just leave them on."

He ignored Director Li, walked into the office, and when Director Li followed in, he asked, "Why are you following us in?"

"I..."

"Director Li, please step out." Liang Jianfeng spoke up.

He left the office reluctantly, muttering under his breath as he closed the door, "What are you showing off for, even if the mayor comes, you can't get out!"

Song Guanchao came over and sat down, "Why did the mayor come?"

Wu Qiangwei snorted, "What exactly are you planning to do?"

Song Guanchao maintained his air of confidence, "The wise have their plans."

If Liang Jianfeng weren't present, Wu Qiangwei would have wanted to grab him by the collar and question him.

But seeing him so calm, Wu Qiangwei felt much more at ease.

"I met with the consulate's Consul General tonight," Wu Qiangwei said.

Liang Jianfeng was a bit surprised, while Song Guanchao had a complex expression.

He had already said he could handle this matter.

But she still wasn't assured. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Indeed, sometimes holding back too long isn't a good thing.

"Is it resolved?" Song Guanchao asked.

Wu Qiangwei shook her head, her tone unnatural, "He made some demands, I didn't agree."

Huh?

Song Guanchao was curious, what excessive demands did he make for her to refuse?

Seeing her evasive gaze, Song Guanchao realized something.

"Rest assured, Mayor. At the latest, it will be resolved within these two days."

He stopped playing coy; without pacifying her soon, she might do something unexpected.

With his assurance, Wu Qiangwei felt much more at ease.

"It's getting late, I better hurry back. Otherwise, when you leave, Director Li might give me a hard time sleeping."

Song Guanchao stood up and said.

Liang Jianfeng frowned, "Is he deliberately giving you a hard time?"

Song Guanchao smiled, "He's Zhang Yan's man."

"Hmph!" Liang Jianfeng was about to speak when Song Guanchao said, "Let him be, it will all be over in a couple of days anyway."

Director Li only dared to give him trouble over trivial matters, not daring to actually take action.

Leaving the office, Song Guanchao deliberately slowed his pace, and as they lagged behind Wu Qiangwei, he whispered, "Did that Consul General try to take advantage of you?"

Wu Qiangwei denied, "No."

But this couldn't fool Song Guanchao, "He wanted to, but couldn't?"

Wu Qiangwei wanted to deny it, but since Song Guanchao had guessed it, she acknowledged with a hum.

Song Guanchao didn't say any harsh words, following the officers to the detention room.

...

South Korea, Gyeonggi Province Gwacheon City.

This is where the Korea National Army Air Force Headquarters is located.

The headquarters is also known by another name—the Security Command.

This is South Korea's most powerful unit and the core decision-making body.

Its functions include military surveillance, intelligence gathering, and key decision execution, directly impacting the operation of the national security system.

At this moment, a man nearing fifty years old exited a meeting room, heading towards his residence.

After returning home and washing up, he prepared to rest but was suddenly interrupted by a rapid knock on the door.

The knocking was so urgent, as if something serious had happened.

The man went to open the door, and it was his secretary.

The secretary looked exceptionally serious, holding a mobile phone, "General Nan, there's an urgent message for you!"
