Song Guanchao leaned against the headboard, looked at Qu Xiangru's number on his phone, and gently pressed the dial button.
After a few beeps, the call connected, and the familiar voice he hadn't heard in a long time sounded from the other side.
"What's up?"
"If Governor Hou steps down, who has the best chance to take the position."
Song Guanchao asked directly, without any preamble, leaving Qu Xiangru silent.
"Why are you asking this?"
"Jiang Yuan came to see me today."
He shared the information about Jiang Yuan and Secretary Tian visiting him.
"Are you worried that Secretary Tian might become Governor? Thinking about whether to do him this favor?"
"No."
"No?"
"Even if he becomes Governor, what's the point of doing him this favor?"
"I've already offended, might as well offend a bit more."
When doing things, the most taboo is changing your mind halfway, being indecisive makes things worse.
