He'd made such an effort to come here, asking about Li Fuhai's backers, and it wasn't a whim.
It was because of the rumor that had spread throughout the City Committee.
No, this rumor, it was likely that it had spread to the city government and various bureaus and committees as well.
"Li Fuhai?"
Minister Zhou was a bit surprised, not understanding why he suddenly brought this up.
Gossip like this was usually first known by ordinary clerks.
Leaders, on the other hand, were often the last to know.
In fact, some leaders might never know at all.
After all, there was no intersection between them, and the only way for their words to reach a leader's ears was through a secretary.
Thus, in certain situations, leaders were very much isolated from information.
Minister Zhou didn't rush to answer but directly asked, "What do you want with this?"
Song Guanchao didn't hide anything, and recounted the rumor from outside.
Listening to this rumor, Minister Zhou was slow to speak.
