Qiao Liang was waiting in the hotel reception room. About half an hour later, the staff member came in again: "County Magistrate Qiao, Secretary Liao, please come over now."
"Okay." Qiao Liang stood up hurriedly.
Qiao Liang walked to the door and vaguely heard Xiao Shunhe's voice. When he walked outside, he saw Xiao Shunhe just coming out of a room. Qiao Liang was heartbroken. It seemed that Liao Gufeng had just finished talking with Xiao Shunhe.
"County Magistrate Qiao, this way." The staff member pointed to the room where Xiao Shunhe just came out.
"Well, thank you." Qiao Liang nodded and walked in.
In front, Xiao Shunhe, who was about to leave, turned his head and glanced with a trace of doubt in his eyes. He seemed to have heard Qiao Liang's voice just now.
But when Xiao Shunhe turned around, Qiao Liang had already entered.
He must have been hallucinating. Xiao Shunhe shook his head and walked towards the stairs.
In the room, Liao Gufeng just picked up the tea cup and took a sip of water and put it down. When he saw Qiao Liang coming in, he pointed at Qiao Liang with a smile: "Boy, how did you know that I came to Xizhou tonight?"
"I went to report to Mayor Xiao in the evening, and I overheard it." Qiao Liang chuckled, "I thought since you are here and I happen to be in the city, I sent you a message."
"Don't you see that Comrade Xiao Qiao is very powerful now? He can report directly to the mayor." Liao Gufeng said with a smile.
"Secretary Liao, please don't make fun of me. I just encountered a special situation and had no choice but to report higher up." Qiao Liang smiled bitterly.
"Sit down, I think you are a troublemaker, and you can make some noise wherever you go." Liao Gufeng smiled, but he was quite proud of himself. He originally arranged for Qiao Liang to take a temporary job in Liangbei. One step is the right one.
Qiao Liang sat down and looked at Liao Gufeng carefully: "Secretary Liao, Secretary Teng was taken away by people from the province today. Is this your handiwork?"
"Tengda has serious problems of his own. He violated disciplines and laws. He is to blame for what he is today." Liao Gufeng said calmly, "If he cleans himself and has no problems, who can target him? Who can touch him?"
Hearing Liao Gufeng's words, Qiao Liang knew in his heart that Tengda's fall at this juncture must be Liao Gufeng's instruction.
Thinking of the position vacated by Tengda after his resignation, Qiao Liang couldn't help but ask: "Secretary Liao, who is the province considering to take over Tengda's position now?"
"Why, are you still worrying about the appointment of organizational personnel? Do you want Comrade Qiao Liang to be the provincial organization minister?" Liao Gufeng snorted.
"Secretary Liao, please don't make fun of me. Even if you let me, I wouldn't dare." Qiao Liang grinned, "Am I not concerned about who the new leader will be? After all, I am posted in Liangbei. It is normal to be concerned about the appointment of top leaders in the city. Over the years in the system, I have also seen that whether the top leader of a place is reliable or not has a great impact on the place. The character and personality of the top leader, Ability and behavior will have a great impact on the local institutional ecology."
"Well, you are right. Therefore, when selecting cadres for important positions in the organization, strict inspection procedures must be followed." Liao Gufeng nodded in agreement, looked at Qiao Liang again, and said, " It seems that your boy has not been working in the system for a long time, but he has some experience."
"Secretary Liao, you are talking as if I am a young person who has just left school and started working." Qiao Liang said.
"In my opinion, you are still a young person who likes to cause trouble." Liao Gufeng nodded at Qiao Liang and didn't know what he thought of. Liao Gufeng suddenly asked, "You have been working in Liangbei for almost half a year, right? You should also have a certain understanding of the situation in the city, so let me ask you, if the province wants to promote someone from Xizhou to take over Tengda's position, who do you think is suitable?"
"Secretary Liao, I don't know much about the city's leaders. After all, I have few contacts. But I don't think you need to ask your question. The province needs to directly ask questions from within Xizhou City." If promoted, the only one who can take over is Mayor Xiao." After Qiao Liang said this, he thought about it and added, "I think Mayor Xiao is very good, after just two or three contacts with him. , I think he is a leader who is really willing to do practical things, and he is also quite decent."
Liao Gufeng smiled when he heard this but said nothing.
Qiao Liang couldn't figure out what Liao Gufeng was thinking, so he didn't dare to say anything else at this moment.
While Qiao Liang and Liao Gufeng were talking in the room, downstairs, Xiao Shunhe got into the car after leaving the hotel. His secretary and driver were waiting in the car.
As soon as Xiao Shunhe sat down, his secretary said: "Mayor, I just saw County Magistrate Qiao go in."
Qiao Liang and Ding Xiaoyun came to see Xiao Shunhe twice recently, so Xiao Shunhe's secretary also recognized Qiao Liang. When he saw Qiao Liang walking into the hotel, the secretary was a little puzzled. Then when he saw the staff inside coming out to pick up Qiao Liang, The secretary's eyes widened. He vaguely recognized that the staff member who came out to pick up Qiao Liang seemed to be the one next to Liao Gufeng.
At this moment, Xiao Shunhe was also stunned when he heard the secretary's words: "Qiao Liang is here?"
"Well, I just came in, and the staff member who picked him up, if I'm not mistaken, seems to be the one next to Secretary Liao." The secretary nodded.
Xiao Shunhe was surprised when he heard this: "Are you sure you read it correctly?"
"It can't be wrong. After all, I was there when you received Secretary Liao in the evening, so I won't admit my mistake." The secretary said with certainty.
Xiao Shunhe didn't say anything after hearing this. He had already believed it in his heart. Thinking of the voice he just heard, he couldn't help but nodded secretly. It turned out to be not an illusion.
After a moment of silence, Xiao Shunhe said with a smile: "It seems that County Magistrate Qiao is not simple."
The secretary listened and nodded with deep understanding, so that the staff around Liao Gufeng could come out to pick him up in person. Of course, this County Magistrate Qiao would not be simple.
Thousands of miles away in Jiangdong and Huangyuan.
Jiang Wanzhi, the president of Jiangdong Daily, still had lights on in his office. It was almost ten o'clock. The documents just sent over from the Propaganda Department surprised Jiang Wanzhi. Tomorrow, the layout that Jiangdong Daily has already arranged will be revealed by the Propaganda Department. It was rejected over there.
What was on Jiang Wanzhi's desk at the moment was the instructions from the main leader of the Propaganda Department. The report in question was the report that Jiangdong Daily had set aside on the second page to reprint Jiangzhou Daily's report involving Qiao Liang. .
If it was just rejected, Jiang Wanzhi wouldn't be too anxious, but after seeing the instructions from the main leader of the department, Jiang Wanzhi broke out in a cold sweat, because the other party's words were quite harsh, and he almost didn't directly attack him. The president criticized him by name, and Jiang Wanzhi wondered if it was because he was promoted by Guan Xinmin. The other party did not name him because of Guan Xinmin's face, otherwise the criticism would be even more severe.
The night in early spring in March was still a bit cold, but Jiang Wanzhi was sweating on his forehead at the moment. When the ministry suddenly called this morning and asked to review the report to be published tomorrow, Jiang Wanzhi felt that something was wrong. After all,
This has never happened before
As is often the case, Jiang Wanzhi had a bad premonition at that time, but before he thought too much in the morning, when he saw the instructions from the main leader of the department, Jiang Wanzhi suddenly realized that he had guessed that something had happened.
This is the report that alluded to Liao Gufeng.
After checking the time, Jiang Wanzhi gritted his teeth and picked up his cell phone to call Guan Xinmin. Although it was already a little late, Jiang Wanzhi didn't care whether it would affect Guan Xinmin's rest.
When the call was connected, Jiang Wanzhi said anxiously: "Leader Guan, something went wrong."
"Well, tell me." Guan Xinmin's deep and steady voice came from the phone.
"The report involving Secretary Liao was sent back by the ministry, and Minister Shao also gave instructions and severely criticized our newspaper." Jiang Wanzhi said with a bitter smile, and the Minister Shao he called Shao Yushang was the Propaganda Department.
That one.
"Oh, this is a bit strange. Why did Comrade Yushang personally review the layout of the newspaper?" Guan Xinmin had a puzzled look on his face.
Jiang Wanzhi quickly answered: "No, the ministry suddenly called me this morning to notify me. I felt something was wrong. I didn't expect that there was something wrong with this report."
Guan Xinmin frowned and said nothing, tapping his fingers on the sofa. Every time he made this move, he was thinking.
After a moment, Guan Xinmin said: "Comrade Wan Zhi, according to you, the ministry has already known that this and that report will be published in Jiangdong Daily tomorrow?"
"It's hard to say, but I personally think so." Jiang Wanzhi said his thoughts.
Hearing Jiang Wanzhi's words, Guan Xinmin nodded subconsciously. This was also his inner speculation. After all, what Jiangdong Daily will report on its pages can usually be decided by the deputy editor in charge. Jiang Wanzhi is the only one who is not sure.
Photographed by the president
Boss, if even Jiang Wanzhi can't make a decision, then he needs to report to the main leaders of the ministry. But today, the ministry took the initiative to ask to review the newspaper that will be published tomorrow. The top leader Shao Yushen even gave the instructions himself. This is a bit abnormal.
.
The only person who can give instructions to Shao Yusheng, the head of the propaganda department, is Zheng Guohong.
It seems that Zheng Guohong took action!
Guan Xinmin squinted his eyes and made an inference in his mind. He felt that his inference should be correct, but the question came, where did the news leak out?
Guan Xinmin couldn't figure it out for a while.
After thinking for a moment, Guan Xinmin said: "Comrade Wan Zhi, if that report continues to be published in the daily newspaper tomorrow, do you think it is feasible?"
"This...this is not good." Jiang Wanzhi was startled.
Hearing Jiang Wanzhi's withdrawn tone, Guan Xinmin was slightly dissatisfied, but soon fell silent again. The propaganda department was the competent department of the newspaper, and now that Shao Yushen had personally given instructions, it was not surprising that Jiang Wanzhi felt embarrassed.
But at this moment, Guan Xinmin thought about it further. Zheng Guohong intervened. Is it related to Liao Gufeng? If so, would the price be too high if he still chooses to fight hard now?
