After the call was connected, Qiao Liang said: "Brother Chu, it's me..."
Chu Heng was still in the office at this time. After receiving Xue Yuan's report, he seemed to realize something and was waiting for Qiao Liang's call.
Sure enough, Qiao Liang called quickly, which made Chu Heng satisfied that everything was as expected.
Chu Heng continued: "Oh, Xiao Qiao, you will call me now. Is there anything wrong?"
"Yes, Brother Chu, I have something to report to you." Qiao Liang paused, "Just now Zhong Huizi came to my office to deliver documents, and I chatted with her for a while, and we just finished..."
Chu Heng perked up. He immediately realized what Qiao Liang wanted to report to him. This was what he cared about the most. It seemed that after he talked to Qiao Liang that day, he implemented the things he arranged very efficiently.
From another aspect, it shows that Qiao Liang has no doubt about himself, and that his control over Qiao Liang is absolute and powerful.
This made Chu Heng feel satisfied and proud again.
At the same time, Chu Heng thought that Qiao Liang called him right after talking to Zhong Huizi, indicating that he should have gained something, and this gain was very important to him.
But even though he thought so, Chu Heng still asked: "Is there anything gained?"
"Yes." Qiao Liang said simply.
"Okay, very good!" Chu Heng continued, "I am in the office. I have no plans tonight. I will come down later and we will go out for dinner together."
Chu Heng didn't ask Qiao Liang if he had any plans after get off work when he asked Qiao Liang to have dinner like he did before, because he knew that with An Zhe's transfer, Qiao Liang's evening entertainment had been greatly reduced. It was important for him to eat together. Now that he had opened his mouth, he must and could only promise himself first.
"Okay, I don't have any plans tonight." Qiao Liang then agreed, "I'll go downstairs and wait for you at the entrance of the courtyard."
"Okay, see you later." Chu Heng hung up the phone.
Qiao Liang then left the office, went downstairs, and went to the entrance of the compound, strolling around and waiting for Chu Heng.
After a while, Chu Heng came out with square steps. After meeting Qiao Liang, Chu Heng said: "There is a Chaozhou restaurant nearby. Let's go there to eat."
Qiao Liang nodded, and the two of them walked there.
At this time, Xu Hong had just left the compound in his car after get off work. He accidentally looked forward and saw Chu Heng and Qiao Liang walking together. They were talking about something as they walked.
Xu Honggang couldn't help but frown. When he was in charge of publicity, Qiao Liang was on his side. When Qiao Liang followed An Zhe, he didn't realize how close his relationship with Chu Heng was. Why now...
Under the current situation, Xu Honggang couldn't help but make some subconscious guesses.
Xu Honggang asked the driver to slow down and slowly followed Qiao Liang and Chu Heng. After a while, he saw them entering a Chaozhou restaurant.
Then Xu Honggang asked the driver to speed up and frowned even more. Today is the weekend. Chu Heng and Qiao Liang are having dinner together. I wonder who made an appointment with whom? What is the purpose of eating together?
Although Xu Honggang and Luo Fei have basically reconciled out of their respective interests, the relationship between Xu Honggang and Chu Heng has not eased, and there is still considerable hostility and estrangement between them.
Xu Honggang thought secretly. Qiao Liang knew very well about his true relationship with Chu Heng. Since he knew it, why did he have to eat alone with Chu Heng? It was because he felt that he had no backer after An Zhe left, so he wanted to rely on his past.
He took the initiative to seek refuge with Chu Heng? Or did he feel that between himself and Chu Heng, although he ranked before Chu Heng in the team, he was more optimistic about Chu Heng at this time? He felt that Chu Heng was more worthy of seeking refuge than him?
Thinking of this, Xu Honggang's heart surged with the complex feelings that have surged from time to time recently, and his eyes gradually became colder...
Qiao Liang and Chu Heng asked for a small private room in the restaurant, and then ordered wine and food. After the wine and food were served, Qiao Liang closed the door of the private room, sat across from Chu Heng, and smiled at Chu Heng.
Chu Heng also smiled: "Xiao Qiao, tell me what you gained."
Although Chu Heng was a little impatient at this time, he still acted very calmly.
Qiao Liang nodded, then frowned: "Brother Chu, today Zhong Huizi and I revealed information about Sister Hong's whereabouts, but I think it's a bit unlikely. I don't know whether Zhong Huizi's words are true or false."
"Oh, tell me, let me listen." Chu Heng said.
"I'm afraid I may have said something wrong. You'd better listen to the recording." Qiao Liang then took out his cell phone.
"Recording? Did you record your conversation with Huizi?" Chu Heng looked a little surprised.
Qiao Liang nodded: "Yes, since Brother Chu arranged this for me, I have to be absolutely safe. In order to prevent me from making any mistakes, I secretly recorded the audio with my mobile phone while chatting with Zhong Huizi.
"
Chu Heng nodded with satisfaction, "Well, that's right. This guy is very prudent in his work. Listening to the recording is the most accurate. This is much more accurate than listening to Qiao Liang's own words."
"Okay, very good. It would be best if you have a recording. Send it to me." Chu Heng said.
"Okay." Qiao Liang then operated the phone and said after a moment, "Brother Chu, it has been sent to your phone."
Chu Heng took out his phone and looked at it. Yes, I received it.
Just as Chu Heng was about to turn on the recording, he asked Qiao Liang: "Xiao Qiao, when you were chatting with Zhong Huizi, did you not arouse any suspicion in her?"
Qiao Liang shook his head: "Probably not. I naturally brought up the topic of Sister Hong, and it was Zhong Huizi who took the initiative to speak. However, even so, because it was a hastily started conversation, there is no guarantee that there will be no flaws. You'd better listen first.
Listen to the recording, and if you find any mistakes, tell me in time so that I can deal with Zhong Huizi another day."
Chu Heng nodded: "Okay, I'll listen first."
Qiao Liang then stood up: "Brother Chu, please listen slowly. Today is the weekend. I haven't been home to see my parents for a few days. I will go out and call them now to ask about the recent situation at home."
"Okay, go ahead." Chu Heng nodded.
Qiao Liang then closed the door and went out. He did this on purpose to create a space for Chu Heng to quietly listen to the recording and think.
At the same time, Qiao Liang was really ready to call home.
Qiao Liang walked to the end of the corridor, then took out his mobile phone and dialed...
Chu Heng was the only one in the single room. He first took out a cigarette and lit it, took a deep breath, then turned on the recording, and then there was movement on his phone.
Chu Heng listened intently while smoking.
First came Qiao Liang's voice: "Chief Zhong, I've finished reading this document. Let's talk about other topics."
Then came Zhong Huizi's voice: "Okay, Director Qiao."
Then Qiao Liang smiled: "Chief Zhong, actually we are old acquaintances. You are my class teacher in the youth cadre class, and you are Sister Hong's cousin. With my relationship with Brother Chu and Sister Hong, when we chat alone
, there’s no need to be so restrictive about calling me my job title.”
Zhong Huizi also smiled: "Actually, I would like to have a closer title with you, but first of all, we are now superiors and subordinates, and you are my leader. Secondly, if you address me by title first, I have no choice but to call you Qiao."
Director."
"Haha... Well, the responsibility is mine, so I'll call you Huizi." Qiao Liang said with a smile.
"Okay, then I'll call you Brother Qiao." Zhong Huizi also smiled.
"Well, okay, this is a good call. It seems close. It's very happy to be called brother by a beautiful woman..." Qiao Liang's voice sounded a bit teasing.
"Hmph, there must be a lot of beauties around you who call you brother." Zhong Huizi snorted.
"Not too much, not too much, too much, not too much..." Qiao Liang continued to make a teasing voice.
Hearing this, Chu Heng smiled. This tone was in line with Qiao Liang's character. This would help him get closer to Zhong Huizi and help him follow Zhong Huizi's words.
Then Chu Heng heard Qiao Liang say: "Huizi, you have been helping out in the commission and your performance has been good. From leaders to colleagues, everyone appreciates you, especially the secretary-general, who values you very much."
Zhong Huizi said happily: "This is all thanks to Brother Qiao's care."
Qiao Liang said: "Huizi, you are wrong about this. I want to take care of you, but with my status, rank and energy, at most I can only say a few nice words to you when reporting to the Secretary-General. In fact,
The fact that the secretary-general values you so much has nothing to do with me."
"Who is it related to?" Zhong Huizi asked curiously.
"Guess." Qiao Liang said.
"I..." Zhong Huizi paused, "I can't guess."
"Since you can't guess, forget it." Qiao Liang said.
"No, Brother Qiao, you have to tell me, don't be shy, tell me quickly -" Zhong Huizi said in a somewhat urgent voice.
Qiao Liang was quiet for a moment: "Huizi, do you really want to know?"
"No problem, I promise not to tell anyone." Zhong Huizi said.
"Well, let me tell you." Qiao Liang then lowered his voice and said, "Actually, you can probably guess this person. Based on your cousin relationship with Sister Hong, in the compound, he really cares about you the most and can do anything for you.
Besides Brother Chu, who else can you talk to in front of the Secretary-General?"
"Ah? Are you talking about him?" Zhong Huizi's voice sounded a little surprised.
"Yes, it's Brother Chu. That time Brother Chu greeted the Secretary-General in front of me and asked him to take more care of you in the future." Qiao Liang paused and continued, "What? Brother Chu greeted the Secretary-General.
Are you surprised that I took care of you?"
"Yes, it was an accident." Zhong Huizi said.
"Why?" Qiao Liang asked curiously.
Zhong Huizi said: "This is not simple. My cousin quarreled with him and ran away in anger. If he didn't come back for so long, he must be angry with my cousin. Doesn't that involve me? In fact, it's not just me. Maybe he has negative feelings for our family.
Everyone has opinions.”
Hearing this, Chu Heng chuckled. It seemed that Zhong Huizi still had some ideas. She didn't tell Qiao Liang the truth. Knowing that she was powerful now, she didn't dare to tell her that she wanted to occupy her and had feelings for her.
Then Chu Heng heard Qiao Liang say: "Huizi, you think so, but it's just a woman's petty attitude, and she doesn't understand Brother Chu very well. I have been interacting with Brother Chu for so many years, and I know that he has always been very broad-minded and has a broad mind."
Talking about family affection.
If nothing else, let’s just talk about what happened between me and Zhang Mei. It was Brother Chu who acted as the matchmaker himself. Because of this relationship, Zhang Mei and I have a very close relationship with Brother Chu and Sister Hong. It is no exaggeration to say that in
Privately, Brother Chu treats me as his brother, and Sister Hong treats Zhang Mei as a good sister. It’s just a pity that my marriage to Zhang Mei broke down midway..."
