The car got on the highway and drove towards the city. In the car, Xu Chan was still thinking about Tang Xiaofei and Xi Lan, especially when she thought that this matter also involved Luo Fei, Xu Chan's heart beat faster and she felt that she had mastered a big secret.
.
"What are you thinking about?" Miao Peilong saw that Xu Chan was absent-minded after getting in the car, and turned to look at Xu Chan.
"Nothing." Xu Chan shook her head. Concerned that there was a driver ahead, Xu Chan did not tell Miao Peilong about Xi Lan and Tang Xiaofei.
When the car arrived in the city, the two of them went directly to the hotel. Xu Honggang had arranged the place to eat tonight. After Miao Peilong and Xu Chan arrived, Xu Honggang hadn't come over yet, so the two of them were waiting in the box.
Seeing that there was no one else at the meeting, Xu Chan said to Miao Peilong, "I heard a big secret just before I came out of the county compound."
"Really?" Miao Peilong looked at Xu Chan amusedly, "Why, what other big secrets can our county compound have?"
Miao Peilong didn't take Xu Chan's words seriously. After all, in his opinion, nothing big could happen in this small place like Songbei, and there couldn't be any big secrets. Even if there were, he, Miao Peilong, couldn't possibly not know about it.
Seeing that Miao Peilong didn't believe it, Xu Chan quickly said, "Really, this will definitely shock you."
"Then you should come and listen and see what can make my jaw drop. I really want to know what big secret we have in Songbei." Miao Peilong said with a smile.
"What big secret are you talking about?" Xu Honggang's voice came from outside the door. Xu Honggang opened the door and walked in. He said with a smile. He happened to hear Miao Peilong's last words.
Xu Chan did not expect Xu Honggang to come over at this time, and hesitated for a moment, wondering whether she should say this in front of Xu Honggang.
At this time, it was Miao Peilong who urged Xu Chan, "Just tell me, Secretary Xu and I are all ears."
After hearing this, Xu Chan saw Xu Honggang and Miao Peilong looking at her. Her heart skipped a beat and she stopped thinking about it and said, "Secretary Xu, Secretary Miao, it's like this. In the evening, I was in front of Deputy County Magistrate Tang's office door.
In addition, I overheard the conversation between her and Mr. Xi, who said that Deputy County Magistrate Tang was her and Secretary Luo’s biological daughter."
"What?" Miao Peilong was a little confused after hearing Xu Chan's words, "Which Mr. Xi?"
"It's Mr. Xi who invested in the honey processing factory in Linnei Village. The county just signed an investment agreement with her company at the county hotel this afternoon," Xu Chan said.
Upon hearing this, Miao Peilong had a general impression. Miao Peilong didn't care much about the honey processing plant project. After all, it was just a small project. If Qiao Liang hadn't been particularly concerned about this matter, he would have made it a grand project with great fanfare.
At the signing ceremony, Miao Peilong didn't even know about it. Therefore, Miao Peilong actually had no impression of the Mr. Xi that Xu Chan talked about. He only knew that there was such a project.
Now, after listening to Xu Chan's explanation, Miao Peilong became even more confused and asked, "Xiaochan, which Secretary Luo are you talking about?"
"Of course it's Secretary Luo from the city, otherwise there would be no Secretary Luo." Xu Chan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Hearing this, Miao Peilong became even more puzzled and said, "Xiaochan, what are you talking about? Isn't that Mr. Xi from Shencheng? Why is he related to Deputy County Magistrate Tang? And Deputy Tang
The county magistrate has also become her and Secretary Luo’s biological daughter, which sounds like a fantasy to me."
"Secretary Miao, don't say you don't believe it. Even I, who heard it with my own ears, don't dare to believe it. But it is the truth. Especially since Mr. Xi also mentioned DNA identification, then this matter cannot be fake."
Xu Chan said.
"According to you, is this true?" Miao Peilong looked incredulous.
"Secretary Miao, I'm not saying this is true, but this is what I heard." Xu Chan shook his head and smiled, "To be honest, I still find this unbelievable. Then Deputy County Magistrate Tang is not Luo How could the secretary's niece become Secretary Luo's biological daughter? If I hadn't heard it with my own ears, I wouldn't have dared to imagine."
After hearing this, Miao Peilong clearly still didn't believe Xu Chan's words. On the contrary, Xu Honggang on the side showed an interested expression, looked at Xu Chan and said, "Director Xu, please tell me in detail, what is that Xi always like?" people?"
"Secretary Xu, I don't actually know much about Mr. Xi. I only know that she is an investor from Shencheng who came to our Songbei County to invest in a honey processing factory project. This project was personally handled by County Magistrate Qiao. , although the investment amount is not large, County Magistrate Qiao attaches great importance to it because the project is built in Linnei Village, a poor village directly linked to County Magistrate Qiao, and County Magistrate Qiao regards this project as a key project for poverty alleviation in Linnei Village." Xu Chan explained.
When Xu Honggang heard about Qiao Liang, he felt inexplicably unhappy. He quickly suppressed his emotions and asked, "Director Xu, let's not talk about this project for now. Let's talk about Mr. Xi. Is she from Shencheng?"
"It doesn't seem like her. Her accent sounds a bit like us from Jiangzhou, but I'm not sure. I'll find out later," Xu Chan said.
Xu Honggang nodded and asked again, "You said you heard her say with your own ears that Tang Xiaofei is her and Luo Fei's biological daughter?"
"Yes." Xu Chan nodded affirmatively, and then glanced at Xu Honggang quietly. She heard Xu Honggang call Luo Fei by his name just now. It could be seen from Xu Honggang's tone and demeanor that Xu Honggang and Luo Fei's relationship was different. The relationship is a bit subtle, and Xu Honggang's expression at this moment is also full of inexplicable meaning.
"Secretary Xu, you don't believe this, do you? I think it's too ridiculous. There must be a mistake." Miao Peilong said.
"Haha, it sounds ridiculous, but didn't you hear it? Director Xu heard it with his own ears." Xu Honggang smiled.
"Maybe Mr. Xi made a mistake. How could she, an investor from Shenzhen City, be related to Secretary Luo? She also said that Deputy County Magistrate Tang was her and Secretary Luo's biological daughter. This is too ridiculous." Miao Peilong shook his head and said.
"I don't really believe it, but since people said that, it can't be for no reason, right?" Xu Honggang smiled, "And Director Xu just said it, she also heard the other party mention DNA identification, which is not like It seems like there was a mistake.”
Miao Peilong curled his lips after hearing this. He obviously didn't believe such nonsense, and thought Xu Chan might have heard it wrong. However, Xu Honggang said this, and Miao Peilong couldn't refute it directly.
Suddenly, Miao Peilong's heart moved and he glanced at Xu Honggang thoughtfully. Xu Honggang was so concerned about this matter. Could it be that...
Miao Peilong's thoughts changed rapidly, and he looked at Xu Honggang with a slightly different look in his eyes, as if he understood something.
Xu Honggang smiled and said, "Actually, it's not difficult to find out how credible this matter is. We can start with Mr. Xi and check her past. By coincidence, we have another guest tonight. It would be most appropriate to ask him to help with this matter."
"Is there another guest tonight?" Miao Peilong was slightly startled and asked curiously, "Who else has Secretary Xu invited tonight?"
"You'll know when he comes later." Xu Honggang smiled pretending to be mysterious, looked at the time, and said, "He should be arriving soon. When I came here just now, he called me and said that he had something to ask me. If you wait a few minutes, it will probably be here soon."
Less than two minutes after Xu Hong finished speaking, there were footsteps outside the door. Miao Peilong looked up and saw the person coming. He suddenly realized that it was Lu Ming, the deputy mayor and director of the municipal bureau.
As soon as Lu Ming came in, he smiled at Xu Honggang and said, "Secretary Xu, I'm sorry, I'm late."
"It's okay. Let's have dinner with two or three acquaintances tonight. Mayor Lu, don't be so outspoken." Xu Honggang laughed and pointed at Miao Peilong and said, "Secretary Miao doesn't need my introduction." ?”
"No, no, no," Lu Ming smiled hurriedly, nodding to Miao Peilong in greeting.
Xu Honggang briefly introduced Xu Chan. Lu Ming heard that the other party was the director of the Songbei County Government Office. He couldn't help but look at Xu Chan. He was a little surprised how the other party was qualified to appear on such an occasion, but Lu Ming didn't say much. think.
"Come on, everyone is here, then take a seat and I'll let the waiter start serving the food." Xu Honggang smiled and said, "Let's have a few drinks tonight. I brought my own wine. It's fruit wine I brewed. Please You guys have a taste."
"Hey, the wine brewed by Secretary Xu himself is definitely not bad." Miao Peilong immediately flattered him and said with a smile, "I didn't expect you, Secretary Xu, to have the ability to make wine. I will have to steal from you in the future." I also make my own wine.”
"That's not easy. I'll teach you later." Xu Honggang said with a smile, "The main reason is that I was too busy before. No, I can only find some fun by myself."
Hearing Xu Honggang's words, Miao Peilong glanced at Xu Honggang. He was keenly aware that there was some emotion in Xu Honggang's words. Thinking about it carefully, Miao Peilong could also understand that Xu Honggang was a bit ostracized by Luo Fei in the city before. In addition, the new mayor Guo Xing'an and Xu Honggang are not from the same place, so Xu Honggang's status in the city is somewhat marginalized. Although Xu Honggang later took the initiative to move closer to Luo Fei, Luo Fei obviously did not regard Xu Honggang as his true self. People treat Xu Honggang more with the intention of taking advantage of him.
Therefore, there is something in Xu Honggang's words at this moment.
Xu Honggang looked at Lu Ming and said with a smile, "Mayor Lu, we were chatting just now, and I have a small favor that I need your help with."
"Secretary Xu, please speak." Lu Ming sat up straight and showed a serious attitude.
Just as Xu Hong was about to speak, he suddenly remembered that he didn't even know the name of Mr. Xi, so he turned to look at Xu Chan, "Director Xu, what is the name of Mr. Xi?"
"My name is Xi Lan." Xu Chan replied quickly.
Xu Honggang nodded and looked at Lu Ming again, "Director Lu, I would like you to check on this person named Xi Lan."
"Xi Lan?" Lu Ming frowned and subconsciously asked, "Why is it this name again?"
