After hearing what He Qingqing said, Shang Ke's face sank: "Director He, it seems that you are very active and proactive in your work."
He Qingqing said calmly: "County Magistrate Xie Shang praised me. This is my duty as a subordinate."
"The responsibilities you should fulfill..." Shang Ke looked at He Qingqing with cold eyes, "Director He, it seems that you have forgotten what I talked to you before. It seems that your principles and discipline need to be improved. .”
He Qingqing made a sign of confusion: "County Magistrate Shang, I don't understand what the connection between suggesting Magistrate Qiao to visit the iron mines has to do with your previous conversation with me. Did I violate my principles and disciplines by doing this?"
"You -" Shang Ke was choked by He Qingqing's words. The iron ore mine is a large project that he personally introduced. It is a political achievement project that he personally directed and led. Without his permission, no leader or department can intervene in this matter. , including Ding Xiaoyun, as the deputy director of the government office, He Qingqing will certainly know that she seems to be deliberately pretending to be stupid when she says this now.
Shang Ke stared at He Qingqing, "He Qingqing, do you really not understand, or are you pretending to be confused?"
He Qingqing took courage and said, "County Magistrate Shang, I never dare to pretend to be confused in front of leaders. I really don't understand. I hope Magistrate Shang can give me some advice."
"Guide one or two, and I will give you three or four!" Shang Ke slapped the table, "He Qingqing, stop pretending to be stupid. You are so leaderless, unorganized and undisciplined. Don't you want to be here?" Is the government office done?"
Now that he has come to this point, He Qingqing simply goes all out and says, neither humble nor arrogant: "County Magistrate Shang, the decision-making power of my official career and destiny is in your hands. You have the final say as to where I can do my job. I know this." It's very clear... I have always respected you very much, and I have always resolutely obeyed and resolutely implemented your instructions on work. Therefore, you said that I have no leadership, no organization, and no discipline. I I am really confused, scared and confused. I really don’t know what went wrong to make you so angry.”
He Qingqing's words were about retreating into progress. He said it very rigorously, but he couldn't be picky at the moment.
Shang Ke couldn't help but frown and look at He Qingqing. Damn it, since this girl followed Qiao Liang, she seems to be more courageous than before. She dares to talk to herself like this. Who gave her the courage? Qiao Liang? Could it be Qiao Liang's guidance? What did he do to her?
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, Shang Ke snorted angrily: "Okay, shut up, it's okay."
He Qingqing stood up, nodded politely to Shang Ke, and went out.
At this time, He Qingqing admired his courage in front of Shang Ke today. In the past, he was frightened and timid in front of Shang Ke, but his performance today was not like that.
Why did he suddenly have such courage? Although He Qingqing was vague and confused, she felt very comfortable in her heart.
He Qingqing then went to the county hospital to see Qiao Liang.
On the way to the county hospital, He Qingqing thought a lot...
When he walked to the door of Qiao Liang's ward, He Qingqing finally made a decision.
Of course, He Qingqing did not have the initiative in his own hands to make this decision.
The reason why He Qingqing was able to make this decision was based on her clear judgment that Shang Ke was determined to continue to suppress and exclude Qiao Liang, based on her further understanding of Qiao Liang's character, style and quality, and based on her immense gratitude and respect for Qiao Liang. A mixture of emotions of deep guilt.
At this time, He Qingqing suddenly no longer hesitated and struggled in her heart.
Pushing open the ward door, Qiao Liang was leaning on the bedside watching TV. Seeing He Qingqing come in, she nodded: "Director He, are you here to rest?"
He Qingqing nodded and sat beside Qiao Liang's bed: "County Magistrate Qiao, are you feeling okay now?"
"Very good. You'll be able to jump around in less than two days and continue walking around." Qiao Liang said easily.
He Qingqing smiled: "Have you had breakfast?"
"I just finished eating." Qiao Liang paused and then said, "Director He, you don't have to come see me today, you are just busy with your work."
"My recent job is to accompany you. Since you are recuperating in the hospital, I have nothing to do." He Qingqing said.
"Haha..." Qiao Liang laughed, "Have you recovered from the shock last night?"
"Haha..." He Qingqing also laughed, "That's about it."
"That means you're not completely settled yet. It seems you still need to calm down your spirit," Qiao Liang said.
"What about you? Are you feeling frightened now?" He Qingqing asked.
"Me, I don't care. The wolf has been killed, so what's the point of being shocked?" Qiao Liang said.
He Qingqing breathed out softly: "County Magistrate Qiao, last night was truly unforgettable and will be unforgettable for the rest of my life."
"Director He, when you say unforgettable, you only mean being in danger?" Qiao Liang said with something in mind.
He Qingqing blushed when she thought of the ambiguity between herself and Qiao Liang at the campfire last night: "Both."
"Yes." Qiao Liang nodded, "There are always some unforgettable things in everyone's life. Of course, some unforgettable things at the time may gradually fade away with the passage of time until they are forgotten."
"But for me, it will neither fade nor be forgotten." He Qingqing said seriously.
"Why?" Qiao Liang said.
"Because..." He Qingqing paused, "Because these unforgettable things have prompted me to make certain changes."
"Change? What change?" Qiao Liang asked with interest.
He Qingqing breathed out softly again: "County Magistrate Qiao, Magistrate Shang just finished talking to me."
"Oh?" Qiao Liang's eyelids twitched, "What did we talk about? Can you tell me?"
"Of course!" He Qingqing then told Qiao Liang the exact contents of the conversation between Shang Ke and herself.
After hearing what He Qingqing said, Qiao Liang looked at He Qingqing and couldn't help but feel moved in her heart. Can He Qingqing tell him the content of her conversation with Shang Ke? What was her motivation and mentality? Could it be related to the changes she mentioned?
Then Qiao Liang laughed: "It seems that your conversation with County Magistrate Shang was more exciting."
"Do you think it's just wonderful?" He Qingqing asked.
"What else do you think I can feel?" Qiao Liang said.
"County Magistrate Qiao, I think you should know very well." He Qingqing said seriously.
Seeing He Qingqing's serious expression, Qiao Liang also became serious: "Director He, for now, I don't know what you have thought about or what you want to change."
"Does County Magistrate Qiao want to know?" He Qingqing asked.
Qiao Liang nodded: "I think so."
"Since County Magistrate Qiao wants to know, I can tell you, but there is a prerequisite for telling you." He Qingqing said.
"What premise?" Qiao Liang looked at He Qingqing.
He Qingqing looked at Qiao Liang and said slowly: "Trust, I need your trust. County Magistrate Qiao, do you have enough trust in me now?"
Qiao Liang looked at He Qingqing and was silent for a moment. He Qingqing's words were very straightforward, which was somewhat beyond Qiao Liang's expectations.
Although Qiao Liang did not have a bad impression of He Qingqing, it was difficult for him to establish real confidence in He Qingqing because of the previous experience in which he was tortured. Without confidence, there was no way to talk about trust.
But since He Qingqing said this so frankly today, it seems that she is really changing, but she doesn't know to what extent this change will go and in what direction.
Thinking about his current understanding of He Qingqing and some of his plans for He Qingqing, Qiao Liang secretly nodded. Perhaps, he should take it step by step, and every step must be prudent and prudent.
Thinking of this, Qiao Liang said: "Director He, do you think my trust in you is important?"
"Yes, it's very important. It's very important to you and to me." He Qingqing nodded.
"Yes." Qiao Liang nodded, "Actually, building trust in a person is not about words. The key is actions. The key is confidence. Director He, do you think I can build enough confidence in you?"
"I think it's okay." He Qingqing said solemnly.
"Why do you think it's okay?" Qiao Liang said.
"Because I will prove it with my future actions." He Qingqing said simply.
Qiao Liang pondered: "Action... In fact, as long as there is action, not only confidence, but also trust can be established. Director He, since you said so, then I believe your words. At present, I trust you. You can answer what you just said."
Problem."
He Qingqing nodded: "County Magistrate Qiao, what I can think of now is that Magistrate Shang holds a grudge against you because of your violent beating of Magistrate Shang. Although you went through a lot of troubles and returned to Liangbei, and
You are a member of the County ***, but with the character of County Magistrate Shang, he will never let you go. In the future, he will definitely exclude and attack you everywhere in his work. In other words, if you want to have a good relationship while working in Liangbei,
For what you have done, County Magistrate Shang is an obstacle that you must overcome..."
Qiao Liang's heart moved: "Keep talking."
He Qingqing continued: "But based on my current understanding of County Magistrate Qiao's style, character and conduct, County Magistrate Qiao will definitely not be content with the current status quo, will definitely not be willing to be suppressed and excluded, and will definitely not want to be busy while serving in Liangbei.
Wuwei is confused..."
"So what?" Qiao Liang looked at He Qingqing with a half-smile.
He Qingqing said slowly: "I think County Magistrate Qiao will find ways to solve the problem and eliminate difficulties, and even take some kind of action or actions to clear the obstacles."
Qiao Liang was stunned. Damn, this girl is so smart. She actually thought of her own thoughts.
Qiao Liang looked at He Qingqing with thoughtful eyes and remained silent for a while.
He Qingqing continued: "If County Magistrate Qiao really wants to do this, I think it will be very difficult given Magistrate Qiao's current connections and resources in Liangbei."
Qiao Liang lit a cigarette and took two puffs: "Director He, what you mean when you tell me this is..."
He Qingqing took a deep breath: "If County Magistrate Qiao thinks highly of me, He Qingqing, I am willing to help County Magistrate Qiao, or in other words, I am willing to obey Magistrate Qiao's dispatch and contribute to Magistrate Qiao's grand plan."
Qiao Liang looked straight at He Qingqing. What this girl said was so straightforward that it even shocked her.
He Qingqing continued: "Although Qingqing is not talented, she still has some connections and resources in Liangbei. Although these connections and resources are very weak, they may still be able to play some role."
Qiao Liang took a deep drag on his cigarette, remained silent for a moment, and said, "Director He, tell me, why? Why are you saying this?"
He Qingqing looked directly at Qiao Liang: "This is what I want to answer your second question. The reason is not complicated. It is because there have been some changes in my heart recently. This change has changed from entangled to gradually firm. The source of this change Magistrate Zishang’s behavior in Liangbei and the nasty things he did to me stem from the uneasiness and guilt you suffered because of his frame-up of you, and from the harm you did to my body and life. The deep gratitude I felt for your rescue came from my respect and admiration for your integrity, justice and noble personality, and even from the conversation between County Magistrate Shang and me just now..."
