Ye Xinyi had just returned to the dormitory from the dinner party of her colleagues. Since today was the weekend and it was a party of colleagues, she drank some wine and was a little drunk at the moment.
Ye Xinyi washed her face with cold water, leaned her head on the sofa, and stared at the ceiling in confusion.
At this time, her mind was somewhat clear, and she remembered what Qiao Liang called her during the day.
Ye Xinyi had already verified through certain channels that Chu Heng and Wen Yuan invited Cheng Min to dinner in Huangyuan tonight. She even knew that they had just finished their meal and were singing in a top nightclub in Huangyuan.
Based on her many years of experience in the newspaper industry, Ye Xinyi concluded that first, this article would definitely be published; secondly, the publication would not be delayed and, if nothing unexpected happened, it should be Monday.
Thinking of Qiao Liang's and her own vague analysis during the day, Ye Xinyi knew that there must be something behind this manuscript, but Qiao Liang couldn't tell what it was, and she couldn't think clearly either.
She thought that An Zhe would take action after Qiao Liang told An Zhe, but she didn't expect that he would react so calmly. This made Ye Xinyi surprised and couldn't help but think deeply. She subconsciously felt that the problem she and Qiao Liang thought about seemed a bit simple.
, and Anzhe seems to have thought of more, deeper and further. This kind of breadth, depth and height cannot be achieved with the current superficial experience and qualifications of himself and Qiao Liang.
Ye Xinyi vaguely felt that behind this seemingly simple press release, there seemed to be some mysterious murderous intention. Before the murderous intention surfaced, some people were operating in secret, some were watching with cold eyes, and some were
Thinking calmly.
It seems that everyone is very cold, but the meaning of this coldness is different.
Ye Xinyi was vaguely aware that although Jiangzhou's emergency environmental protection treatment seemed to have been successfully completed, some of the internal things caused by it were still fermenting. This fermentation seemed to be not only within Jiangzhou's senior management, but also
It will spread to Huangyuan.
Judging from the content of this manuscript, the focus of the ferment is Chint Group, and Chint Group’s participation is due to Qiao Liang. In other words, if this matter triggers any storm, Qiao Liang will be indispensable in the storm.
, and even key figures at the center of the storm.
Thinking of this, Ye Xinyi couldn't help but worry about Qiao Liang. This guy had been ups and downs in the system several times. At the worst time, he even lost his job. Although he got stronger with each setback, it seemed bright now, but the cold and cruel struggle in the circle
, he doesn’t know whether he can escape safely this time.
The reason why Ye Xinyi is worried is because she feels that the mysterious murderous intention that will surface this time is very likely to involve An Zhe. If An Zhe is not able to sue himself by then, even if he wants to, he will
It may not be possible to save Qiao Liang.
Qiao Liang's biggest supporter in the Jiangzhou circle is An Zhe. Although Xu Honggang treats Qiao Liang well, and although Qiao Liang saved Xu Honggang, Ye Xinyi always has a vague feeling that Xu Honggang's care for Qiao Liang is reserved.
Yes, he can do something without endangering his own interests. On the contrary, he will not spare any effort.
This can be vaguely felt from the incident where Qiao Liang was framed for double-opening.
Thinking of Xu Honggang, Ye Xinyi became extremely troubled. During this period, his "concern" for her became more and more frequent, and the implications of some vague words became more and more obvious.
Ye Xinyi understood what Xu Honggang wanted to achieve, which was against his own principles and must not be done.
But Ye Xinyi couldn't embarrass Xu Honggang. After all, he had helped her a lot. She was able to move from the newspaper office to the ministry and then to Huangyuan because of Xu Honggang's great efforts. At this point, Ye Xinyi was grateful to Xu Honggang from the bottom of her heart.
But gratitude does not mean dedication. On this point, Ye Xinyi's stance is extremely firm.
In this way, Ye Xinyi dealt with Xu Honggang cautiously, trying to be respectful and tactful in her words, and could prevaricate and evade. Xu Honggang seemed to be extremely patient and never showed the slightest displeasure due to his prevarications and evasions.
This made Ye Xinyi feel tired but helpless.
Thinking of this, Ye Xinyi couldn't help but sigh...
At this moment, the mobile phone placed on the coffee table rang.
Ye Xinyi leaned over and read the call, then frowned, it was Xu Honggang calling.
In recent times, Xu Honggang often called to "care" about himself on weekend nights.
Ye Xinyi frowned and looked at the incoming call, wondering whether to answer it or not.
The bell rang over and over again.
Seemingly unable to answer, Ye Xinyi took a deep breath, pressed the answer button, then pressed the speakerphone, and said proactively: "Hello, Secretary Xu."
"Haha..." Xu Honggang's gentle laughter came from the phone, "My favorite, why did it take so long to answer the phone?"
Ye Xinyi smiled: "Sorry, I fell asleep just now and heard the phone ring."
"Oh, sorry for disturbing your rest."
"It's okay. What instructions does the leader have?"
"Haha, when I call you, do I have to give you instructions?"
Ye Xinyi smiled and said nothing.
Xu Honggang continued: "How's it going? Is your work and life going well this week?"
"Everything is fine. Thank you for your concern, the leader." Ye Xinyi said politely.
"Well, I went to Huangyuan on a business trip that day. I met the leader in charge of news in the department at the Huangyuan Hotel. I chatted with him for a while and asked him to pay more attention to you." Xu Honggang said.
Ye Xinyi was busy and expressed her gratitude.
Xu Honggang continued: "When we were chatting, the department leader praised you for your outstanding ability and outstanding performance. I followed his lead and said that since he appreciates you so much and the press department is short of people, why not keep you officially?"
"Oh..." Ye Xinyi blinked, wondering whether Xu Honggang's words were true or false.
Xu Honggang said: "The department leaders seemed a little embarrassed after hearing this. They said that all establishments are now frozen. Although they have this intention, there is nothing they can do."
"Yes, that's true. Without organization, there is nothing anyone can do." Ye Xinyi said.
"This is indeed a problem. I then asked an acquaintance in the Provincial Staff Office and he said that the current staff freeze is a one-size-fits-all approach. No one dares to open this hole, and it is unlikely that the freeze will be lifted in the short term."
"Yes."
Xu Honggang then sighed: "My favorite, in fact, I have often thought about it recently. It is not an option for you to be seconded like this all the time. It will delay you."
"What's the delay?" Ye Xinyi asked.
"Obviously, the relationship with the province cannot be established, and you are not involved in the personnel adjustment in Jiangzhou. Isn't this a delay?"
"Haha." Ye Xinyi smiled, "I haven't been promoted to deputy director for a long time. Even in Jiangzhou, I won't be promoted."
"You can't say that. With the content I am currently in charge of, and your ability and performance, you can make an exception once you have the opportunity."
Ye Xinyi frowned slightly, Xu Honggang seemed to be quietly throwing bait to her, hoping to end her secondment early and return to Jiangzhou.
Once this happens, then I will owe Xu Honggang even more, and I will be even more passive when dealing with Xu Honggang.
I would rather not take this opportunity than owe Xu Honggang any more favors.
Ye Xinyi thought for a while: "Actually, at the previous stage, I also had the idea of returning to Jiangzhou. However, the leaders here valued me very much, and the current work in the department was indeed inseparable; secondly, An
The secretary gave me clear instructions..."
"Lao An has instructions for you? What instructions?" Xu Honggang said in a somewhat surprised tone.
Ye Xinyi said: "Once, Secretary An came to Huangyuan on a business trip and had dinner with Secretary Liao, so he invited me to join him. During the meal, Secretary Liao affirmed and appreciated my work. After the meal, Secretary An
You solemnly instruct me that no matter whether my secondment lasts or not, as long as the work above requires it, I will continue to work here with peace of mind."
After hearing what Ye Xinyi said, Xu Honggang was speechless for a moment. He obviously understood something from it. Once An Zhe noticed Liao Gufeng's admiration for Ye Xinyi, he had no intention of letting Ye Xinyi return to Jiangzhou, at least not currently.
The reason why Xu Honggang suggested that Ye Xinyi return to Jiangzhou was because he had his own calculations. This calculation was slightly different from his original plan to second Ye Xinyi to the Information Department, but the starting point was the same.
Of course, Xu Honggang would not tell anyone the contents of this little abacus.
But now that An Zhe has given this instruction to Ye Xinyi, it is impossible for him to realize his plan for the time being.
This disappointed Xu Honggang, and then said: "Since Lao An said so, then you can continue to do well in Huangyuan, and I will continue to care about you."
Ye Xinyi smiled silently, then expressed her gratitude,
After chatting for a few more words, Xu Honggang hung up the phone.
Ye Xinyi leaned her head on the sofa again and stared at the ceiling...
The next day, Jiangzhou.
After Qiao Liang got up, she received a call from Lu Qian, saying that it was inconvenient to take her mother out in a public car on weekends. Qiao Liang heard that it made sense and said she would go to Chint Group to borrow a car. Lu Qian agreed.
So Qiao Liang called Li Youwei and said that he would go to the mountains with his friends during the weekend and wanted to borrow a car. Li Youwei readily agreed and said the car would be delivered in half an hour.
Qiao Liang went downstairs, had breakfast near the community, and then waited at the door of the community for a car to arrive.
Qiao Liang drove to pick up Lu Qian and her daughter and drove straight to the mountains of Sanjiang.
In late autumn, the mountains are full of gold and red, and the scenery is very magnificent and pleasant.
Qiao Liang is very familiar with the road conditions in the mountains. He explains the local landforms and customs while driving. When passing an ancient village, he can even tell an allusion. Lu Qian and her daughter are intoxicated by listening to Qiao Liang's explanation while admiring the beautiful autumn colors.
.
We had lunch at a local restaurant in the mountains. They were all specialties from the mountains. The food that Lu Qian and her daughter ate was very appetizing.
After a fun day of fun, we returned to Jiangzhou in the evening.
When we had dinner together in the evening, Lu Qian's mother was full of praise for the scenery of Sanjiang, and said that good mountains and good people are better.
Qiao Liang felt that the "person" Lu Qian's mother mentioned seemed to mean something.
The next morning, Lu Qian and her daughter went shopping in the commercial pedestrian street, and Qiao Liang followed behind carrying shopping bags.
After lunch, Lu Qian’s mother took a lunch break in Lu Qian’s dormitory and prepared to go to Huangyuan in the afternoon.
Lu Qian received a call at this time. There was a murder case in her jurisdiction, and she had to rush to the scene.
Before leaving, Lu Qian said to Qiao Liang: "My mother said she would take the bus to Huangyuan in the afternoon. I'm not worried..."
Qiao Liang grinned: "How can your mother, with such a noble status, take the bus? I'll find a taxi."
Lu Qian punched Qiao Liang in the chest: "Damn, I'm not worried about taking a taxi. Why can't you do good things to the end?"
"What do you mean?" Qiao Liang grinned again.
"You drive my mother to Huang Yuan's house." Lu Qian said simply.
Qiao Liang nodded: "Okay then, it's up to you."
"Why didn't you take the initiative to bring it up?" Lu Qian said dissatisfied.
"I took the initiative to mention it because I was afraid you would have any ideas." Qiao Liang said.
"What ideas can I have?" Lu Qian asked.
"What do you think?" Qiao Liang said with a faint smile.
Lu Qian snorted, raised her fist and flashed it in front of Qiao Liang's eyes: "I said you still deserve a beating."
Qiao Liang stepped back: "If you hit me again, I will file a complaint with your mother."
Lu Qian blinked, then laughed: "Okay, for the sake of my mother, I'll spare you this time..."
After saying that, Lu Qian left in a hurry. While walking, she called her mother and told Qiao Liang to send her to Huangyuan.
Qiao Liang sat in the car and waited for Lu Qian's mother. Then she called An Zhe and reported on the activities she had accompanied Lu Qian's mother from yesterday to today. Then she said that she would drive Lu Qian's mother to Huangyuan.
After hearing this, An Zhe said: "Yes, I'd like to praise you. Please drive carefully on the road to get Mrs. Liao home safely."
Qiao Liang checked the time: "Mrs. Liao is still on her lunch break. I guess it will be dark by the time we get to Huangyuan."
"Then what's going on? You stay in Huangyuan tonight and you'll come back early tomorrow morning." An Zhe said.
"I mean dinner..." Qiao Liang said.
"I guess you will have dinner at their house. Not only can you taste your Aunt Lu's cooking, but if Mr. Liao is at home, you can have a few drinks with him."
"this……"
"What is this?"
"When I eat with them by myself, I always feel that something is wrong and I feel very restrained."
"You kid is not afraid of anything. How can you be restrained?" An Zhe snorted.
Qiao Liang chuckled.
After calling An Zhe, Qiao Liang thought about having dinner with Liao Gufeng tonight, and then thought about the manuscript Chu Heng sent to Huang Yuan. After thinking for a moment, his heart suddenly lit up, and then he grinned...
An hour later, Lu Qian's mother came downstairs, Qiao Liang put the luggage away, then got in the car and set off.
As soon as Qiao Liang drove away, a black car parked nearby immediately started to follow him quietly.
