"Why are you laughing?" Seeing Qiao Liang's smile, Wu Jiang frowned.
"Dr. Wu sold out his allies so quickly? I think you have a very good relationship with Secretary Miao." Qiao Liang said sarcastically.
"How do you know Miao Peilong will still be in Songbei at that time? He can't be promoted?" Wu Jiang snorted coldly.
"Really?" Qiao Liang smiled lightly, "Then why does Wu Dong think that I can't become the top leader in Songbei with my own efforts, and I have to rely on your support?"
Wu Jiang was stunned by Qiao Liang's words. He stared at Qiao Liang deeply and said, "County Magistrate Qiao is so confident."
"I can't talk about self-confidence. I think Director Wu's tone is a bit loud, as if the organization department is run by your family. Whoever you want to be promoted can be promoted?" Qiao Liang looked at Wu Jiang.
"I didn't say that." Wu Jiang stared at Qiao Liang, "But with my connections, I can help you take a step forward."
"Without having to worry about Director Wu, I think I can make progress with my own efforts," Qiao Liang said.
"Is County Magistrate Qiao really so confident?" Wu Jiang's eyes were gloomy. "As for this, I will simply put it more plainly. I am confident that I can help you make progress, and I also have the ability to keep you where you are."
"Haha, Director Wu can't negotiate a deal and is threatening me instead?" Qiao Liang said with a smile.
"It doesn't matter how you interpret it. I've made it clear. County Magistrate Qiao had better think carefully before making a decision." Wu Jiang looked at Qiao Liang, "As the old saying goes, it's convenient for others. It's convenient for yourself. County Magistrate Qiao is in the system, so he should I understand better than anyone that one more enemy is not as good as one more friend."
"What Director Wu said makes sense, but I know better. People can't do things without conscience. If a person doesn't even have the basic principles and bottom line, it doesn't matter how big his official position is." Qiao Liang responded. Wujiang.
Hearing Qiao Liang's words, Wu Jiang was completely annoyed. He stood up and said, "County Magistrate Qiao, you mean there's nothing to talk about, right?"
"Dr. Wu, I have made it very clear. I cannot do anything without conscience."
"Okay, very good. I hope County Magistrate Qiao will always stick to your so-called principles." After Wu Jiang finished speaking, he threw away his hands angrily and left.
Qiao Liang looked at the other party's back and shook his head. Wu Jiang had really worked hard for his son, and even came to the door to threaten and lure him. If Wu Jiang thought that he, Qiao Liang, was so easy to handle, then he had obviously made a mistake.
Watching Wu Jiang leave, Qiao Liang didn't bother to think about it, and he didn't take Wu Jiang's threat to heart. How could Qiao Liang be afraid if the other party threatened his progress? He dared to offend Luo Fei, so why not add another one? Wujiang?
However, after rejecting Wu Jiang's request just now, Qiao Liang guessed that Cai Minghai would definitely face greater pressure and resistance, so it was even more necessary for him to remove Zhang Honghua, Miao Peilong's pawn. This was his counterattack. It is also a support for Cai Minghai.
Turning around and walking back to his desk, Qiao Liang continued to work.
Time flew by to the evening. Qiao Liang arrived at the hotel he had booked. After waiting for more than ten minutes, Zhuang Jiaming hurried over. He smiled as he entered the door and said, "County Magistrate Qiao, I'm not late."
"What do you think? I have been waiting for half an hour. Do you think you are late?" Qiao Liang deliberately exaggerated the time, "Don't say anything later. You should punish yourself with three drinks first."
"It's really that Deputy County Magistrate Zhao in your county was too enthusiastic. He kept asking me to stay for dinner, but I finally found an excuse to shirk it. No, it delayed me for a while." Zhuang Jiaming laughed. Get up, "Okay, I'll punish myself with three drinks later."
Hearing Zhuang Jiaming's words, Qiao Liang blinked, "Then you should call Deputy County Magistrate Zhao."
"Oh?" Zhuang Jiaming blinked and looked at Qiao Liang thoughtfully, "County Magistrate Qiao, Deputy County Magistrate Zhao is... your person?"
"He is a like-minded person." Qiao Liang chuckled.
When Qiao Liang said this, Zhuang Jiaming understood and said with a smile, "If I had known, I would have called Deputy County Magistrate Zhao over just now."
"It's okay, I'll call him and ask him to come over." Qiao Liang took out his mobile phone and called Zhao Jiejie.
When the call was connected, Qiao Liang smiled and said, "Deputy County Magistrate Zhao, where is he? Come over to have dinner with me and introduce you to a friend."
"Okay, I'll be there right away." Zhao Jiejie agreed immediately after hearing this without asking any more questions.
After hanging up the phone, Qiao Liang turned to Zhuang Jiaming and asked, "Lao Zhuang, after inspecting our county development zone today, do you have any suggestions for us? I would really like to hear your opinion."
"I don't dare to make suggestions. Before I came here, I heard that your development zone is doing well. After today's on-site visit, I am quite impressed. It is much better than our Sanjiang County Development Zone, especially your rattan and iron craft industry. The park combines the industrial reality of Songbei County and I think it is very exciting." Zhuang Jiaming said.
"Tengtie craft industry is a characteristic industry of Songbei County. However, the previous layout was too scattered and large but not strong. Now it is up to our county to integrate resources, guide the industry, and provide policy support. It is to make it big. To strengthen the Tengtie craft industry, I believe that the Tengtie craft industry will become a business card of Songbei County in the future." Qiao Liang said.
"Well, this is a good idea." Zhuang Jiaming smiled and nodded, then looked at Qiao Liang, "When I listened to Deputy County Magistrate Zhao's introduction in the afternoon, it was you who came up with the development plan for the Tengtie Craft Industry?"
"That's right." Qiao Liang nodded with a smile and added, "But although I proposed the plan, it was the people below who actually implemented it, so the credit mainly belongs to everyone."
"County Magistrate Qiao is so humble." Zhuang Jiaming laughed.
The two chatted for a while, and not long after, Zhao Jiejie rushed over and walked into the box. Zhao Jiejie was stunned for a moment when he saw Zhuang Jiaming, and turned to look at Qiao Liang, "County Magistrate Qiao, this is the person you want to introduce to me. Friends I know?”
"That's right." Qiao Liang smiled and nodded, "Deputy County Magistrate Zhao, are you a little surprised?"
"I asked County Magistrate Zhuang why he refused my invitation. It turns out it was County Magistrate Qiao who invited you to dinner." Zhao Jiejie sat down with a smile on his face, "County Magistrate Zhuang, if you had told me earlier, I would have come with you. It’s time to eat.”
"It's my fault, I'll punish myself later." Zhuang Jiaming said with a smile.
The three people talked and laughed, and slowly chatted about their respective views on local governance and development. The three of them are all county leading cadres. They have different experiences and have their own experiences and opinions. Such a watch The exchange that seemed like a casual chat was actually a collision of ideas. Zhao Jiejie, in particular, had some ideas of his own. When it came to the construction of county cities, Zhao Jiejie spoke eloquently, and in Qiao Liang's opinion, it was all Some of the more pragmatic ideas made Qiao Liang quite impressed with Zhao Jiejie. If Zhang Honghua could be eliminated, Qiao Liang felt that Zhao Jiejie was the most suitable candidate to serve as the executive deputy county magistrate.
The three of them drank until after eight o'clock, and then ended the drinking party tonight. Zhuang Jiaming was going back to Sanjiang in the evening. When Qiao Liang sent each other to the car, he thought of his sister and brother-in-law, and couldn't help but give another reminder, "Lao Zhuang, my sister My brother-in-law and I, if you have time, please help and take care of me."
"Don't worry, County Magistrate Qiao, I will always remember this." Zhuang Jiaming said with a smile.
"Okay, sorry to trouble you." Qiao Liang smiled.
"Have you met me?" Zhuang Jiaming smiled and waved to Qiao Liang, "Mr. Qiao, I'm leaving now. Let's drink together next time when we have time."
"I'll organize it next time. Let's gather everyone together and have a good drink." Qiao Liang said.
"Okay, then I'm looking forward to it very much." Zhuang Jiaming said happily.
After seeing off Zhuang Jiaming, Qiao Liang and Zhao Jiejie exchanged a few words and then went back in their own cars.
When he was approaching the dormitory, Qiao Liang inadvertently looked out the car window and let out a light sigh. The person stumbling away on the side of the street seemed to be Tang Xiaofei.
What's wrong with this woman? Is she drunk? Qiao Liang muttered to herself and saw Tang Xiaofei slowly sitting down under a tree on the side of the road.
Seeing this scene, Qiao Liang didn't want to meddle in other people's business. He guessed that Tang Xiaofei was drunk. This woman had always been disrespectful and arrogant to him. Qiao Liang was too lazy to meddle in her affairs. But the next moment, Qiao Liang saw two people. Two men surrounded Tang Xiaofei, helped Tang Xiaofei up from the left and right, and walked in another direction.
Seeing this scene, Qiao Liang frowned, immediately asked the driver to stop, got off the car and walked over quickly.
Qiao Liang caught up and shouted, "Stop——"
The two men who were supporting Tang Xiaofei saw someone blocking the way and yelled, "Who are you? Get out of here."
"Who are you? This woman is my friend, what are you going to do?" Qiao Liang's eyes were sharp, and he could see the two men clearly. They looked young, and they were probably in their early twenties. They looked carefree, and one of them even wore earrings. At first glance, he looked like a gangster on the street.
Hearing Qiao Liang's words, the two young men were startled, rolled their eyes, and said, "You said she is your friend? Who knows if you are fake, get out of here, we are her friends, now we are going to Send her back."
"Are you her friends?" Qiao Liang sneered, "I think you are the fake ones, but you can tell me, what is her name?"
Qiao Liang's words really confused the two young men. How did they know Tang Xiaofei's name? They were watching Tang Xiaofei in the bar. They saw Tang Xiaofei drinking alone, seeing that Tang Xiaofei was beautiful and alone. They went up to strike up a conversation, but Tang Xiaofei scolded her and left. The two of them were unwilling to accept it, so they kept watching. When they saw Tang Xiaofei drunk and leaving alone, the two of them had an idea and followed them out secretly. Until just now, they saw Tang Xiaofei sat down leaning on the tree trunk on the roadside. The two of them guessed that Tang Xiaofei was dying, so they stepped forward to help Tang Xiaofei up and prepare to take her away.
Although people were coming and going on the roadside, most people would just think that they knew each other and no one would mind their own business. The two of them thought they had succeeded and could enjoy themselves tonight, but unexpectedly they were suddenly stopped.
