Chapter 1608 Smiling Tiger
Seeing the villagers getting restless again under the instigation of the other party, Qiao Liang quickly shouted: "Friends, don't worry, I promise you here that in just one week, this money will definitely be distributed to everyone. Listen to my advice and go home first. Within one week, I promise everyone can receive the money."
"What if there is no such thing?" Someone questioned.
Qiao Liang looked in the voice and was still the young man he had just called out.
Seeing that the other party repeatedly took the lead and led the rhythm, Qiao Liang narrowed his eyes and said something was wrong with this person!
"If there is no such thing as then, even if I, Qiao Liang, go to borrow money, I will give the money to allow all the villagers to get the money." Qiao Liang said loudly.
"Friends, everyone should believe in County Mayor Qiao. County Mayor Qiao is a good official." At this time, an old man's voice came from behind. Qiao Liang looked over and saw Mr. Buckt get off a motorcycle and shouting as he walked.
Qiao Liang walked over the crowd and towards the other party: "Mr. Buckt, why are you here?"
"County Magistrate Qiao, I'm afraid you will be misunderstood, so I'll come and testify to you." Mr. Buckt said.
"You came from the countryside?" Qiao Liang said in surprise.
"No, I asked a relative to ride a motorcycle to carry me over, hurry up and finally arrived." Mr. Buckt said.
Qiao Liang was moved when he heard this. This was the most simple peasant brother.
"Friends, everyone knows that the several villages we registered first have received the money, so County Magistrate Qiao will never lie to everyone. He said he would send it, and he would definitely send it." Mr. Buckt said to everyone.
Although we are not from the same village, there are also many people present who know Mr. Buckt. After hearing Mr. Buckt say this, the crowd became much quieter.
"Minors, believe me, you will definitely get money in one week. If the county has no money, I, Qiao Liang, will lend money to everyone and I will definitely not break my promise." Qiao Liang shouted again.
"Everyone has gone back, County Magistrate Qiao has said that. Are you still afraid that you won't get the money? Moreover, County Magistrate Qiao is here, and he can't run away. Everyone said, right?" Mr. Buckt said to everyone with a smile.
Under the persuasion of Mr. Batcht and Qiao Liang's guarantees were quite convincing, the villagers hesitated for a while and then dispersed.
"Mr. Buckt, thank you. You have helped me again today." Qiao Liang looked at the dispersed villagers and said to Mr. Buckt gratefully.
"Miss Qiao is polite to me. I can't help you. You are the one who has helped me a lot." Mr. Buckt looked at Qiao Liang gratefully, "I live so old, and it's the first time I have met such a good official like you."
Qiao Liang smiled and waved his hand indifferently. Thinking that Mr. Batchett and the people just now were not in the same village, Qiao Liang couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Batchett, how do you know that those villagers are going to gather in the county?"
"I heard about it when I went to a relative's house in their village." Mr. Buckt explained.
"So that's how it is." Qiao Liang suddenly realized.
"County Magistrate Qiao, I also heard about a situation." Mr. Buckt looked at Qiao Liang, but he stopped talking.
"What's the situation?" Qiao Liang looked at the other party in confusion, "Mr. Buckt, you can just say anything."
"I heard from my relative that someone seemed to be organizing them to come to the county to cause trouble, and some people in the village kept saying that the county had no money and would not give them compensation for returning farmland to grass, so many villagers were anxious." Mr. Buckt said.
When Qiao Liang heard this, he thought of the person who had been causing trouble in the crowd just now, and Qiao Liang said, "It turns out that someone is secretly causing trouble!"
"County Magistrate Qiao, you have to pay attention. I feel that someone is deliberately destroying your reputation." Mr. Buckt reminded that in his eyes, Qiao Liang is a great official and absolutely cannot lie.
"Well, I understand, Mr. Buckt, thank you." Qiao Liang thanked again.
"County Magistrate Qiao is seeing me again." Mr. Buckt smiled.
"Okay, then I'll take back what I said just now." Qiao Liang nodded with a smile.
Seeing Mr. Batcht leave, Qiao Liang turned around and walked back to the courtyard, his face suddenly becoming gloomy.
At this time, a black Highlander drove past Qiao Liang and parked in the courtyard. Qiao Liang recognized that it was Wang Fulai's car at a glance.
Wang Fulai got out of the car. He didn't know what happened at the gate of the courtyard just now. When he saw Qiao Liang, Wang Fulai smiled and said hello: "County Magistrate Qiao."
"County Magistrate Wang, where did you come from? It depends on your brightness." Qiao Liang looked at Wang Fulai, and a hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes.
"Is that?" Wang Fulai heard Qiao Liang's tone strange, but he didn't understand what Qiao Liang meant, so he laughed casually, "Maybe I slept well at night, so I was energetic during the day."
"Haha, that's really congratulations to County Magistrate Wang for having a good sleep. Now many of us have anxiety and depression. Our group is a high-risk group for anxiety and depression." Qiao Liang smiled slightly.
"Then I don't. One advantage of me is that I eat well and sleep soundly." Wang Fulai smiled, feeling that Qiao Liang was so weird today. Wang Fulai didn't like to say much, and walked into the office building quickly.
Qiao Liang followed slowly. Before entering the office building, Qiao Liang looked up and found Shang Ke standing in front of the window and looking downstairs. The two of them looked at each other. Qiao Liang curled his lips and walked into the building.
As soon as he went upstairs, Qiao Liang found that Zhao Hongjin, the director of the government office, was waiting for him at the entrance of the corridor: "County Magistrate Qiao is here, County Magistrate Shang invites you to come over."
"Okay." Qiao Liang nodded lightly.
When he arrived at Shangke's office, Qiao Liang saw Shangke staring at him with a serious expression as soon as he entered the door.
"Deputy County Magistrate Qiao, do you know how big a mistake you made just now?" Shang Ke asked sternly as soon as he came up.
"What's wrong?" Qiao Liang looked at Shang Ke.
"Who made you promised those villagers that they would pay for a week? The county finance has no money, so what do you give it?" Shang Ke said sternly.
"This is not a matter of worrying about County Mayor Shang."
"Deputy County Magistrate Qiao, what is your attitude?" Shang Ke's voice rose. "As a leader, I have the obligation to remind you how rash your promise was. As a comrade, I also kindly remind you that your behavior just now was very naive. Once you can't pay the money, the villagers gathered again. Once a serious group incident occurs, can you bear this responsibility?"
"I said it, so of course I can bear this responsibility." Qiao Liang smiled, "It's really surprising that County Mayor Shang is so kind today."
Shang Ke ignored the ridicule, looked at Zhao Hongjin with a serious expression, "Director Zhao, you have heard it. This is the attitude of Deputy County Magistrate Qiao. Since Deputy County Magistrate Qiao has given up all the words, then you should be a witness. If something really happens to the back, the superiors will hold the accountable. Deputy County Magistrate Qiao said that he can bear the responsibility."
Hearing Shang Ke's words, Qiao Liang looked back and realized that Zhao Hongjin had come in at some point, so he stood behind him.
Damn, this kid walks like a ghost, without any sound at all. Qiao Liang cursed in his heart. At this time, he could of course guess that Shang Ke was unhappy in kindness. He was caring for him with kindness on the surface, but secretly laying mines for him in advance.
"County Magistrate Shang, is there anything else? If there is nothing, I'll leave." Qiao Liang turned around and left without waiting for Shang Ke to answer.
Shang Ke was stunned and pointed at Qiao Liang's back and said angrily: "Look, this person surnamed Qiao is so arrogant."
"County Magistrate Shang, don't be as knowledgeable as him. He can't jump around for a few days anyway." Zhao Hongjin grinned.
When Shang Ke heard this, he smiled a little on his face: "This kid brought his own handle to the door today, and turned around and made him unable to eat."
"Yes, I didn't expect that there would be unexpected gains in this storm today."
Zhao Hongjin then smiled. The two looked at each other, and a clear smile flashed in their eyes. The two of them seemed to be not surprised at all during the storm today.
Qiao Liang returned to the office and pondered for a while. He was basically sure that someone was instigating and organizing this matter today. Otherwise, the villagers would not have gathered to come to the county. Think about it further, who is good for this matter and who is bad for it. Then, who is causing trouble behind the scenes, the answer is about to come out.
These bastards are simply doing everything they can! Qiao Liang cursed secretly. Thinking of Shangke's words just now, Qiao Liang sneered, Shangke, do you think that Wang Fu is in charge of the Finance Bureau now, and I am helpless if I am yours? This time I will give you a surprise.
Qiao Liang took out his cell phone and looked at it. He had already received a video from the third brother on his phone. Qiao Liang smiled and stood up to walk to Wang Fulai's office beside him.
Wang Fulai was humming a little song and reading the documents. When he saw Qiao Liang coming, Wang Fulai smiled and said, "County Magistrate Qiao is here, sit down."
"County Magistrate Wang is in a good mood and can sing." Qiao Liang smiled.
"Humph a few words, it's not boring to read the documents." Wang Fulai laughed and glanced at Qiao Liang, "Is there something wrong with County Magistrate Qiao here?"
"Well, there is something I want to talk to County Mayor Wang." Qiao Liang nodded.
"If you have anything to do, just say that I will definitely help you." Wang Fulai swears.
Seeing Wang Fulai's smiling face, Qiao Liang wanted to give him a blow. This guy looked like a smiley tiger.
"County Magistrate Wang, what I want to say is whether the compensation for returning farmland to grasses can be paid early?" Qiao Liang said.
"Hey, County Magistrate Qiao, you're still doing this." Wang Fulai's face showed a look of embarrassment at the right time, "County Magistrate Qiao, it's not that I don't help, it's because the county has no money."
"No matter how much the county finance has no money, I believe this little money can still be squeezed out." Qiao Liang smiled slightly.
"County Magistrate Qiao, I really have no money, otherwise I would have let the Finance Bureau allocate it long ago. The financial money is not mine. I have no reason to deliberately refuse to give it. Do you think this is the case?" Wang Fulai said with a smile.
"Well, this is the reason, but who knows if County Magistrate Wang has other thoughts?" Qiao Liang said with a smile.
"County Magistrate Qiao was joking, how could I have other thoughts?" Wang Fulai shook his head.
"County Magistrate Wang, I won't say much nonsense. I will ask the compensation for returning farmland to grass to be distributed to the villagers within a week." Qiao Liang said seriously.
"You ask?" Wang Fulai seemed to hear some joke, "Miss Qiao, are you asking me?"
"That's right." Qiao Liang grinned, "I believe County Magistrate Wang will agree."
Chapter completed!
