After listening to Ding Dahu's words, Niu Zhigang was very moved.
The two of them drank one glass at a time and drank half a bottle of liquor without realizing it. Both of their faces were slightly red.
"Secretary Niu, when I came here just now, I saw Liu Qingsong's parents... They..." Ding Dahu remembered something.
"Oh, they are here to see me." Niu Zhigang picked up a piece of cucumber with chopsticks and put it into his mouth and started eating: "They are here to ask for my help."
Ding Dahu frowned: "Is it for Liu Qingsong?"
Niu Zhigang nodded: "Yes, just for Liu Qingsong, they want me to find someone to support me and prevent Liu Qingsong from going to jail."
"You agreed?" Ding Dahu asked.
"How can I agree?" Niu Zhigang said with a wry smile: "I am no longer the party secretary. Even if I want to help, I am powerless."
Ding Dahu twisted his mouth: "I would say that Liu Qingsong asked for it. He actually tried to molest the female college student who was just assigned to him in the office, and he happened to be caught by Ma Xiaoyao. In this way, could Liu Qingsong not be unlucky? Ma Xiaoyao has already
The word has come out that Liu Qingsong will be dealt with severely, and Liu Qingsong will probably go to jail this time."
"After so many years, Liu Qingsong still hasn't gotten rid of this bad habit." Niu Zhigang shook his head slightly: "I really can't do anything this time."
"Yes, no one can help Liu Qingsong." Ding Dahu picked up the wine glass and took a sip: "Brother Niu, I feel very aggrieved and panicked."
"What's wrong?" Niu Zhigang asked doubtfully.
"Isn't it because of the bastard Ma Xiaoyao? Ever since I became the township head, he has targeted me everywhere and supported Zhu Shilong as the deputy township head. He and Zhu Shilong cooperated inside and outside, and directly ignored me. Now I am
I bear the name of a township head, but actually I have no power at all. Even an ordinary clerk of the township government doesn't take me seriously... Sigh... It's so damn frustrating!" Ding Dahu said angrily.
He said that Ding Dahu is also an ambitious person. He also wants to gain real power, and he also wants everyone to bow to him... But all this can only be a fantasy in his heart, and it cannot be realized in reality.
Niu Zhigang frowned: "You won't fight back?"
"Fight back?" Ding Dahu smiled bitterly: "Why didn't you fight back? I fought back many times, but in the end it was me who was unlucky..."
"Counterattack also requires strategy..." Niu Zhigang said.
"Yes, Brother Niu, I came here today to learn from you." Ding Dahu nodded.
Niu Zhigang was stunned: "Get scriptures? What scriptures to learn?"
"Brother Niu, can you teach me how to deal with Ma Xiaoyao?" Ding Dahu said. After the quarrel for a long time, Ding Dahu came to ask for advice on how to deal with Ma Xiaoyao. He did not come to Niu Zhigang specifically to drink and chat.
Niu Zhigang frowned slightly: "This...I don't have a good idea..."
"Brother Niu, you have been the party secretary for so many years and have rich experience in treating people. Please give me some advice." Ding Dahu said in a pleading tone.
"What do you mean I have so much experience in treating people? When have I ever tortured people?" Niu Zhigang didn't want to hear it.
"Ah, a slip of the tongue. It was a slip of the tongue. I said the wrong thing. Brother Niu, please don't be angry." Ding Dahu apologized hastily.
Niu Zhigang exhaled: "Chief Ding, it's not that I don't want to help you, but that I am really incompetent..."
"Brother Niu, don't refuse in a hurry. Wait until I tell you something. After you listen, you can decide whether to help me or not." Ding Dahu suddenly changed the topic. Before Niu Zhigang could speak, Ding Dahu continued: "
Brother Niu, do you know why your sister-in-law showed up in your office that day? She also happened to bump into you and Tian Cuiying... so what... and why did Tian Cuiying's husband also show up?"
Niu Zhigang's eyes twitched: "What do you mean?"
"Brother Niu, all of this was carefully arranged to deal with you!" Ding Dahu said: "I have already asked Tian Cuiying's husband, and he said that he rushed to the township party committee after receiving a news call.
…”
"The reporting phone number?" Niu Zhigang's eyes suddenly widened: "It's... who made the reporting phone number?"
Ding Dahu shook his head: "I don't know about this. Tian Cuiying's husband said it was an anonymous call, so there is no way to investigate it. But...according to my analysis, I can guess who did it..."
"Who?" Niu Zhigang's face was a little cold.
"It's Ma Xiaoyao!" Ding Dahu said without hesitation, word for word.
"Ma Xiaoyao?" Niu Zhigang frowned: "Why do you say it's him?"
"Secretary Niu, think about it, who has the biggest opinion against you in the village? Isn't it Ma Xiaoyao? Although I can't find any evidence, I can say with certainty that this matter has nothing to do with Ma Xiaoyao!"
Ding Dahu said.
Niu Zhigang slowly clenched his fists. In fact, he had always felt that things were a bit strange and unprovoked. How could his wife and Tian Cuiying's husband appear in his office at the same time? Isn't this too much of a coincidence? He was later fired.
His wife was struggling to divorce him again, which made Niu Zhigang exhausted mentally and physically, so he didn't investigate the matter... When Ding Dahu brought it up today, and after further analysis, Niu Zhigang suddenly felt that Ma Xiaoyao was the biggest suspect.
"Secretary Niu, do you still have to swallow your anger when Ma Xiaoyao plots against you?" Ding Dahu deliberately provoked Niu Zhigang.
Niu Zhigang's face twitched a few times: "You are right, Ma Xiaoyao is the biggest suspect..." At this point, Niu Zhigang paused: "I'll help you deal with Ma Xiaoyao!"
"That's it!" Ding Dahu's eyes lit up: "Brother Niu, how do you think we should deal with Ma Xiaoyao?"
Niu Zhigang pondered for a moment: "Ma Xiaoyao is in the limelight right now. We shouldn't confront him head-on. We should play something sinister..."
"How to play sinister?" Ding Dahu asked hurriedly.
"This... I haven't thought about it yet. Give me a few days to think about it. When I think about it, I will call you." Niu Zhigang shook his head.
"Sure! I'll wait for your call!" Ding Dahu nodded.
…
The sky is slowly getting dark, and the day is almost over.
"I'm so tired!" Ma Xiaoyao twisted his neck. After sitting for several hours, his neck was sore.
Ma Xiaoyao glanced at the clock hanging on the wall and found that it was already time to get off work. Ma Xiaoyao sorted out the files on the desktop, then stood up and left the office. When he just walked out of the office building, he heard someone shouting
He, Ma Xiaoyao, turned his head in confusion and found that the person calling him was actually Shen Yudie, the female college student who had just been assigned to Gaohe Township.
"Shen Yudie? Do you have anything to do with me?" Ma Xiaoyao asked.
"Well... Secretary Ma, I wonder if you are free in the evening? I would like to treat you to dinner." Shen Yudie's face turned a little red.
"You're so good, why do you want to invite me to dinner?" Ma Xiaoyao asked in surprise.
"To thank you, if it weren't for you, I would have been bullied by Liu Qingsong yesterday..." Shen Yudie said.
"Oh, for that matter, haha... I am the secretary of the party committee, and it is my responsibility to deal with Liu Qingsong. You don't have to take it too seriously." Ma Xiaoyao said with a smile.
"Secretary Ma, you are a good secretary. I am lucky to work under you..." Shen Yudie said from the bottom of her heart: "Secretary Ma, I really want to thank you. I really want to invite you."
You have a meal."
"This..." Ma Xiaoyao hesitated for a moment: "Okay, I agreed." Ma Xiaoyao really couldn't bear to refuse this weak girl in front of him. It was just a meal, it was no big deal.
Shen Yudie was overjoyed when she heard that Ma Xiaoyao accepted the invitation.
The two walked out of the door together, then found a small restaurant on a nearby street and asked for a separate private room.
Ma Xiaoyao knew that Shen Yudie's family conditions were not very good, so he deliberately ordered some cheap dishes. Shen Yudie saw this and felt very grateful.
…
A man wearing a peaked cap slowly walked to the door of Ma Xiaoyao and Shen Yudie's private room. The man put his ear directly on the door and listened carefully to the movement in the private room. Through the light of the corridor, he could see the man's appearance.
It turned out to be Niu Zhigang.
Niu Zhigang deliberately followed Ma Xiaoyao today in order to catch Ma Xiaoyao. When he saw Ma Xiaoyao and a beautiful girl walking into a restaurant, Niu Zhigang's eyes suddenly showed a hint of joy.
"Oops..." A girl's scream came from the private room.
"What's wrong? Did it hurt you? I'm sorry! I didn't mean it!" Then another man's voice sounded.
"It's okay...it's okay...let's continue..." the girl said.
Hearing this, the corners of Niu Zhigang's mouth slowly turned up, Ma Xiaoyao, I finally caught you.
"Hey, what are you doing?" At this time, a waitress came over carrying a vegetable plate.
Niu Zhigang reacted quickly and hurriedly squatted down and pretended to tie his shoelaces: "The shoelaces are loose. I don't know why, but these shoelaces are always loose..." After Niu Zhigang tied his shoelaces, he stood up and left in a swaggering manner.
.
The waitress frowned and muttered: "What a weirdo."
…
In the private room.
Ma Xiaoyao looked guilty: "I'm sorry, I really didn't mean it."
Shen Yudie was wiping the clothes on her chest with a piece of paper towel: "It's okay, it's really okay. Isn't it just that some wine was spilled on the clothes? It's okay."
It turned out that when Ma Xiaoyao and Shen Yudie were clinking glasses, the wine in Ma Xiaoyao's glass accidentally spilled on Shen Yudie's chest. Shen Yudie immediately screamed and her face changed. Ma Xiaoyao apologized hastily.
Such an episode misunderstood Niu Zhigang, who was eavesdropping at the door, and mistakenly thought that Ma Xiaoyao and Shen Yudie were messing around in the private room.
After this little episode, Ma Xiaoyao didn't dare to clink glasses with Shen Yudie anymore. He just gave a simple gesture and poured the wine into his mouth.
Although Shen Yudie looks frail, she really drinks a lot, which really surprised Ma Xiaoyao.
