Chapter 822: Chapter 823 Secretary Searching

Jiang Xueliang and Cui Ying were sent home by Song Xiaodong and Li Sijie, who then took their leave.

After driving for a while, Li Sijie asked, "Dongzi, uncle is also very upset about this, what do you think..."

Song Xiaodong smiled slightly and said, "Let’s not even mention that he’s a relative; just for uncle’s way of conducting himself, I really admire him. I must help with this matter."

Li Sijie immediately said joyfully, "Then I really thank you so much, I’m thanking you on uncle’s behalf."

"That’s a bit silly to say, your uncle is also my uncle, I will arrange it when we get home."

Li Sijie felt even sweeter in her heart; even though coming to this family, no one treated her differently, but honestly, she always felt a step lower than others. She is a divorced woman, and all those girls are single, even virgins who followed Song Xiaodong. In her relationship with Song Xiaodong, she always thought it was due to a shotgun marriage, so she did not dare to bring up much with Song Xiaodong.

Once home, Song Xiaodong directly talked to Su Yuya about promoting Jiang Xueliang.

Su Yuya was quite cautious about this issue and said, "Family Head, compared to other aspects, matters of official promotion should be handled with more caution. Although our Su Family is powerful, we have limited resources in the official sphere, which should be used in the most crucial places."

Song Xiaodong nodded and said, "I know these resources are important for the family, but we still need to proceed with this matter. Firstly, it’s due to kinship, and secondly, because he is a good official. I wouldn’t care if I hadn’t met him, but having met him, we can’t let such a talented and capable person be buried, instead letting those villains rise and step on him."

"Since the Family Head has decided, then I’ll get it done. It’s not convenient for our Su Family to directly place a junior clerk in the position of head of a district committee office, but to promote a former deputy head, that’s easy; what do you plan to do about Liu Qingyuan though?"

Song Xiaodong narrowed his eyes and said, "Such a scumbag is a disaster in that position. Check into his background and throw him in."

Su Yuya smiled lightly and said, "Okay, this is a small matter. Being in that position, there must be a lot of issues, and for our Su Family, it’s very easy to dig them up. Tomorrow, we can send his information to the Discipline Inspection Commission."

Over the weekend, when Jiang Xueliang arrived at work, he soon felt that everyone was keeping a respectful distance from him, and then he heard some rumors, saying that he had offended Liu Qingyuan, which led to his demotion to the exhibition hall, and now he had offended his immediate superior, Director Sun.

So everyone kept away from him, afraid of being implicated by him, even the few people in his department dared not get too close to him.

Jiang Xueliang didn’t care. From the day he quarreled with Sun Zheng and Liu Qingyuan in the restaurant, he knew there would be consequences. Since there wasn’t much else here, he could read books, both for distraction and to recharge himself.

His phone rang, and Jiang Xueliang was startled when he saw the number; it was the current district committee secretary. At his level, the district committee secretary usually wouldn’t pay attention to him anymore, and regular work-related matters would be notified by the district committee office. This call was rather unexpected.

But he couldn’t just not answer; Jiang Xueliang quickly picked up the call and said, "Secretary Jin, this is Jiang Xueliang."

"Xiao Jiang, come to my office."

"Ah? Okay! I’m on my way right now," Jiang Xueliang quickly agreed.

After hanging up the call, Jiang Xueliang was very nervous and quickly left for the district committee office.

On the way, Jiang Xueliang couldn’t help but call Cui Ying, saying, "Honey, Secretary Jin asked me to go to his office."

"Secretary Jin? Which Secretary Jin?" asked Cui Ying.

"The district committee Secretary Jin."

"With your current position, why is he looking for you?" Cui Ying also exclaimed in surprise.

"I can’t figure it out myself. If it’s another work transfer, they could just directly find me within the Culture Bureau; yet now it’s Secretary Jin looking for me, it’s really baffling."

"Then don’t worry about it, no matter how bad it is, it can’t get too bad, what are you afraid of?"

"That’s true."

Reassured by his wife like this, Jiang Xueliang felt more at ease; what else could go wrong? He never partook in any corruption, so he had nothing to fear.

Upon arriving at the district committee office building, he saw Liu Qingyuan. As soon as Liu Qingyuan saw Jiang Xueliang, he rolled his eyes and said coldly, "What are you doing here?"

"I’m here to see Secretary Jin," Jiang Xueliang replied, needing no courtesy with this Liu Qingyuan.

Liu Qingyuan said mercilessly, "You say you’re here to see Secretary Jin, just like that? You’re not the former deputy head anymore; you’re just a junior section chief under the Culture Bureau now. If you have something, talk to Director Sun, Secretary Jin is busy and has no time to care about you."

"That’s not for you to decide."

Liu Qingyuan scoffed, "Nonsense, I’m the head of the district committee office, and I have to screen anyone who wants to see Secretary Jin. Without Secretary Jin’s word, you shouldn’t even think about going in. You’ve worked here for so many years, don’t you know the rules?"

Seeing this detestable guy, Jiang Xueliang sneered and said, "Secretary Jin personally asked me to come, you won’t let me in?"

Liu Qingyuan dismissed it with a scoff, saying, "What a joke, Secretary Jin would find a junior clerk like you? You really think highly of yourself; do you think I’m an idiot? With that said, do you think I would believe it?"

"If you won’t let me in, then fine, I’ll directly call Secretary Jin." As he spoke, Jiang Xueliang took out his phone.

"Hmph, as if you could," Liu Qingyuan frankly did not believe Secretary Jin would personally invite Jiang Xueliang here.

Jiang Xueliang got through the call, and Secretary Jin’s voice immediately came through from the other side, "Xiao Jiang, why haven’t you arrived yet?"

"I’m here, but Director Liu won’t let me in."

"Give him the phone."

Jiang Xueliang handed the phone to Liu Qingyuan and said, "Secretary Jin wants to talk to you."

Liu Qingyuan gave an "ah," took the call, and immediately bent his back, his face wearing a sycophantic smile as if Secretary Jin was right in front of him, saying, "Secretary Jin, I’m Liu Qingyuan."

"Let Xiao Jiang in."

Liu Qingyuan quickly agreed, and after Secretary Jin hung up the phone, he returned the phone to Jiang Xueliang. Liu Qingyuan was puzzled inside, wondering why Secretary Jin suddenly called Jiang Xueliang here. What could this be about?

Seeing Liu Qingyuan’s astonished expression, Jiang Xueliang felt a surge of pleasure; even if he went in to be scolded by Secretary Jin, it didn’t matter anymore.
