Secretary Xie's mind raced, quickly sorting through the details within moments.
Cao Xiaolou was backed by Zhou Zheng, while Wu Qiangwei, although the Mayor, had gained some prominence recently in Jiangzhou.
But would she really ignore Zhou Zheng's presence and completely crush him just because of some things Cao Xiaolou did?
Impossible.
At most, she would use it as an excuse to knock him down a peg, but in the end, Cao Xiaolou would still be the County Magistrate, without facing much impact.
But if Cao Xiaolou found out that it was him who spoke ill of him in front of Wu Qiangwei, life would become difficult.
Secretary Xie didn't want to be tangled in this trouble.
He put down his teacup and said, "Mayor Gao and I only have work-related interactions, not much communication otherwise."
Seeing his reluctance to speak more, Wu Qiangwei wasn't inclined to let it go, bluntly asking, "Before coming to Gaoshui County, I heard about something."
