Qiao Liang frowned and thought for a long time, then looked up at Zhao Xiaolan and shook his head: "I thought about it carefully, but Secretary An really doesn't know."

"Are you sure?" Zhao Xiaolan stared at Qiao Liang.

"Absolutely and sure, there is no doubt." Qiao Liang said simply.

"Why are you so sure?" Zhao Xiaolan still felt suspicious.

Qiao Liang smiled: "First, every time Lu Qian asked Secretary An to report, I was there. The content of their conversation never involved anything other than work, otherwise I could hear some of it.

Second, with Secretary An’s personality, he never only thinks about work when doing things, never asks about the family situation of his subordinates, even including me following him every day, how old my parents are, how good their health, and how many children they have at home, he has never asked about it."

After hearing Qiao Liang say this, Zhao Xiaolan thought about her understanding of An Zhe and couldn't help but nod. What Qiao Liang said seemed to make some sense. Workaholics like An Zhe rarely have children's love, and they don't care about their subordinates' families.

Zhao Xiaolan couldn't help but believe it and felt disappointed. Damn, the meal was in vain today and I didn't find any valuable information.

But it was wrong to think about it. I confirmed that Qiao Liang, especially An Zhe, did not know Lu Qian's family situation. This is also an important information and is valuable in one aspect.

Well, it seems that the meal is worth it.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xiaolan felt a little comforted and said, "Since you don't know Lu Qian's family situation, I'm too lazy to inquire. Let those young people who admire Lu Qian chase after him, don't worry."

Qiao Liang nodded: "That's right. When you are in love, you are looking at the other person's people. If you ask about other people's family, it seems that the motivation is impure, bad, and very bad."

After Qiao Liang said this, Zhao Xiaolan couldn't help but feel guilty and hurriedly echoed: "Yes, that's right, that's right. Besides, Lu Qian came from the capital and was widely seen. She may not be able to like these locals in Jiangzhou."

Qiao Liang secretly scolded Zhao Xiaolan for being terrible. Damn, Lu Qian likes him. Is he a rustic guy? Bah—

After dinner, Qiao Liang didn't want to pay the bill. Damn, this woman took the initiative to make an appointment with her, and her motivation for making an appointment was not pure. Why should she treat her to a meal?

Thinking of this, Qiao Liang rolled his eyes and then stood up: "Sister Zhao, wait a moment, I'll go check out."

Zhao Xiaolan nodded, feeling satisfied. This kid could do something. Although he had made an appointment with him, he still took the initiative to pay.

Qiao Liang came back with a bitter face: "Hey, Sister Zhao, I'm so embarrassed. I just found out that the payment card I bound was overdrawn and I didn't bring any cash..."

Zhao Xiaolan was secretly unlucky, but she met a poor man, and then stood up: "It's okay, I'll go check out."

Seeing Zhao Xiaolan go to checkout, Qiao Liang showed a smirk on his lips.

After paying the bill, the two of them were about to leave. As soon as they walked to the entrance of the stairs of the hall, they were meeting Liu Yiping. Wang Qingcheng and a few people were talking and laughing.

Seeing them, Zhao Xiaolan stopped.

Liu Yiping and Wang Qingcheng took people from relevant departments in the bureau to work overtime today. They got off work late and came here for a snack together. They just got off.

Seeing Zhao Xiaolan and Qiao Liang together, Liu Yiping and Wang Qing were stunned in Chengdu. Hey, why are they together?

Without thinking too much, Liu Yiping and Wang Qingcheng asked the others to leave first, and then greeted Zhao Xiaolan and Qiao Liang.

Zhao Xiaolan knew that they must be confused about why they would have eaten with Qiao Liang, and said, "Director Qiao and I met by chance today, and it was fine. Director Qiao kindly invited me to have a meal together, so we came here."

Qiao Liang secretly scolded Zhao Xiaolan for pretending, Damn, what happened? You were waiting for me specifically. What kind of invitation to you? You invited me on your own initiative.

But of course Qiao Liang would not expose Zhao Xiaolan's words and nodded: "Yes, yes."

Liu Yiping felt strange. With Qiao Liang's personality, how could he take the initiative to invite Zhao Xiaolan to dinner?

Wang Qingcheng believed it, Damn, I met the mayor's wife by chance. No one would let go of such a good opportunity to get close to him, and Qiao Liang was the same.

Wang Qingcheng couldn't help but envy him. Since he was sent to the Cultural Bureau, he has never had the chance to have dinner alone with Zhao Xiaolan.

Thinking that Qiao Liang got this opportunity, Wang Qingcheng felt jealous and a little angry.

At the same time, thinking about his half-dead state and thinking about Qiao Liang's popularity, Wang Qingcheng felt quite uncomfortable. He was far ahead of Qiao Liang, but now, Qiao Liang has not only become the same level as him, but also is on the decline. Qiao Liang is in a proud mood, and the same deputy has a very different value and future.

Thinking of this, Wang Qingcheng's expression couldn't help but feel a little sad.

Looking at Wang Qingcheng's expression, Qiao Liang seemed to guess some of his thoughts and sneered in his heart.

Qiao Liang had never had a good impression of Wang Qingcheng. When he was Zhang Lin's deputy in the third room, he defected to Zhao Xiaolan and often tinkered with Zhang Lin behind his back. Now he is in the Cultural Bureau as a deputy, which is still good, but it is good if he doesn't get rid of the deputy director.

From Wang Qingcheng's expression, Zhao Xiaolan seemed to have guessed something. He was always close to him and often said good things to Luo Fei in front of him. Now that he has reached this point, although the deputy is still there, his future seems very bleak. Although he has left the system, considering that Luo Fei is still not neglecting him when he is employed, he still has to pull him. After all, he still has certain abilities. After all, he still sincerely wants to rely on himself and Luo Fei.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xiaolan looked at Wang Qingcheng: "Director Wang, have you drunk tonight?"

"No, no one drinks tonight." Wang Qingcheng said.

Zhao Xiaolan nodded: "Director Qiao and I drank some red wine tonight. It's inconvenient to drive, otherwise I'll bother you..."

Wang Qingcheng suddenly felt energetic: "Okay, no problem, I'll drive you back."

Qiao Liang guessed that Zhao Xiaolan should have wanted to use this reason to chat with Wang Qingcheng alone and win him over.

Zhao Xiaolan then said to Qiao Liang: "Director Qiao, let's go together?"

Qiao Liang waved his hand: "No, I've eaten a little bit, I want to take a walk to digest the digestive food."

Qiao Liang's words hit Zhao Xiaolan's mind. She didn't want Qiao Liang to follow her and prevented her from talking to Wang Qingcheng.

Then Zhao Xiaolan took out the car key and handed it to Wang Qingcheng. They nodded and left at Qiao Liang and Liu Yiping.

Qiao Liang and Liu Yiping walked out of the hotel and watched Wang Qingcheng drive away with Zhao Xiaolan. Liu Yiping turned to look at Qiao Liang: "You really did you ask her tonight?"

Qiao Liang smiled and said, "Do you believe it?"

"Don't believe it." Liu Yiping said.

"If you don't believe me, you still ask this?" Qiao Liang said.

Liu Yiping frowned: "Then why did she say that?"

"It's very simple, it shows the nobleness of the mayor's wife." Qiao Liang said.

Liu Yiping frowned again: "Why did she take the initiative to invite you to have a meal?"

"Because I am handsome." Qiao Liang said seriously.

Liu Yiping laughed silently. She knew that Qiao Liang didn't want to tell her the reason, so she didn't ask.

Then Liu Yiping said, "Let's go together?"

"Okay, go for a walk there." Qiao Liang pointed to the street garden across the road.

Liu Yiping nodded, and the two crossed the road to the street garden.

At this time, there were few people in the street garden and the light was dark. There were men and women in groups of three or three in the dark and didn't know what to do.

The two walked casually.

After a while, Liu Yiping said: "I read today's Jiangdong Daily, Yangshan Songbei Environmental Protection's urgent governance, and the publicity efforts are really great. You and the Zhengtai Group are both very popular."

Qiao Liang said: "Do you think it's just a glory?"

"What else?" Liu Yiping blinked.

"Think about it." Qiao Liang smiled slightly.

Liu Yiping thought for a moment and shook her head: "I can't think of anything else."

Qiao Liang nodded. Liu Yiping is now far away from the core circle of the high-level, and it is understandable that she can't think of it.

Liu Yiping continued: "I think this publicity is of great benefit to you and the Zhengtai Group. Did Secretary An instruct Minister Chu to do this report?"

From Liu Yiping's words, Qiao Liang felt that she and Chu Heng didn't seem to have a close relationship recently.

Qiao Liang shook his head: "Secretary An didn't know about this beforehand, nor did I know about it. This was done by Minister Chu."

Liu Yiping was a little surprised: "With the relationship between Minister Chu and President Li, it is rare for him to carry out such publicity. It seems to have the scent of showing good things to President Li. Of course, it can also be understood that he wants to add luster to you, so he has to bring it to the Zhengtai Group."

Qiao Liang smiled: "Maybe your analysis makes some sense."

Liu Yiping also smiled: "I know Minister Chu is very good to you and has always cared about you. The relationship between Minister Chu and President Li is in that kind of relationship. It is not easy for you to be able to be free and easy between them."

Qiao Liang laughed silently, Liu Yiping only knew one but not the other.

Liu Yiping was silent for a moment, and then said, "Why are your parents not at home?"
