As the New Year approached, the Criminal Investigation Team temporarily set aside several major cases, allowing officers to take a good rest and prepare for the holiday.
Liang Jiajia also freed up some time, and was finally able to enjoy a nine-to-five work schedule.
On Monday, the City Committee and Municipal Government, along with all bureaus and committees in the city, became frantically busy.
With New Year's Day the next day, the leaders instructed everyone to finish all pending work to not affect the holiday celebrations.
Song Guanchao was also very busy throughout the day, sorting through various documents, feeling overwhelmed.
Around ten o'clock, Wu Qiangwei called him over.
"Let's book a few tables nearby for lunch, and invite all the office colleagues to gather before the New Year."
"Invite everyone?"
"Yes."
"Alright."
Song Guanchao then went to a nearby restaurant and booked ten tables for lunch.
