Chapter 347

~4 min read 773 words

As the saying goes, a thief has a guilty conscience. Zhao Desan was in this state of mind at this moment, lowering his head slightly, not even daring to look into Bureau Chief Zhang's eyes.

Section Chief Song guessed in a very low voice, "Bureau Chief Zhang, could it be that someone from General Manager Gao's side leaked the news? We all know the seriousness of the situation, it's impossible to say it out. This… isn't this lifting a rock to smash one's own foot?"

"Bureau Chief Zhang, Section Chief Song is also right. We are the ones managing General Manager Gao and the others. It's impossible for someone from our internal staff to say it out. I think Bureau Chief Zhang, you should ask General Manager Gao if something went wrong on his side?" Wang Anguo said.

Bureau Chief Zhang lowered her eyelids and said coldly, "Asking him is useless! Now that Vice Mayor Yu already knows about this matter, everyone understands Vice Mayor Yu's attitude toward mine disasters. I think my position as Bureau Chief is also not guaranteed. You guys should also prepare your minds. I estimate Vice Mayor Yu will come to the bureau to hold a meeting about this matter soon! Alright, you all go out!"

When Zhao Desan was following Deputy Bureau Chief Wang and Section Chief Song out, Bureau Chief Zhang suddenly called him, "Comrade Comrade Xiao Zhao, you wait a moment!"

Zhao Desan's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but feel nervous. He thought, could it be that Bureau Chief Zhang had already found out that it was him who secretly reported this matter to Vice Mayor Yu? Standing there, he felt his legs were shaking. He turned around slowly, with a face full of fear, squeezed out a smile, and said stammeringly, "Bureau Chief Zhang, do you have any other instructions?"

"Little Li, you close the door and go out too." Bureau Chief Zhang instructed Li Shanshan.

After sending Li Shanshan away, Bureau Chief Zhang asked him, "Comrade Comrade Xiao Zhao, do you think it's possible that someone inside our bureau leaked this matter?"

Bureau Chief Zhang's words were clearly meant for me to hear, Zhao Desan thought to himself, and couldn't help but shiver. His expression was a bit panicked, but he pretended to be calm and said, "It shouldn't be, right? Deputy Bureau Chief Wang and Section Chief Song also know the seriousness of this matter. Besides, Bureau Chief Zhang, you also warned us several times, it shouldn't be leaked from inside, right?"

Bureau Chief Zhang stood up from her office chair, walked in front of him, and stared straight at him without speaking for a long time. This made Zhao Desan feel even more uncertain. Could it be that Bureau Chief Zhang really knew it was him who secretly reported this matter to Vice Mayor Yu? "Bureau Chief Zhang, don't look at me like that… I… I didn't tell anyone about this matter." Zhao Desan said hurriedly.

"You… do you think it could be Deputy Bureau Chief Wang who leaked the news?" Bureau Chief Zhang said, "He is careless in his work and has no sense of responsibility. I suspect it was him who let it slip at some dinner party."

This surprised Zhao Desan a bit and made him overjoyed. Good, since Bureau Chief Zhang suspected that old bastard, Zhao Desan felt he could just push the boat with the current, let Bureau Chief Zhang further increase her suspicion of him, and use another counter-espionage strategy commonly used in officialdom. Especially since he was a small person using this strategy, the leader wouldn't suspect it at all.

So Zhao Desan narrowed his eyes, feigned thought for a while, and whispered, "Bureau Chief Zhang, these two days you and Deputy Bureau Chief Wang both went to the Municipal Committee for a meeting. I heard that one of the agendas of this meeting is about the change of leaders of various units of the Municipal Committee early next year, right?"

"There is such an agenda." Bureau Chief Zhang became a bit confused, "Why do you ask this?"

"Bureau Chief Zhang, I don't know if you know, but Deputy Bureau Chief Wang is older than you in terms of seniority, and his qualifications in the bureau are older than yours. He has been coveting the position of Bureau Chief for a long time. Could it be that because of this Standing Committee meeting, he just happened to use this matter to… to get you… off the stage… so that he can sit in the position of Bureau Chief… I'm just guessing."
