Hearing that Xu Honggang asked about this matter, Qiao Liang's heart skipped a beat, frowned, and then said, "Secretary Xu, how did you know about this?"
"You don't have to worry about how I know this. Xiao Qiao, can you give me a face and suppress Xu Chan's case?" Xu Honggang said.
"Secretary Xu, this is not a matter of losing face, it is a matter of principles and bottom line. Xu Chan is suspected of violating the law. It is impossible for me to interfere in the investigation of her by the relevant departments." Qiao Liang said seriously.
"Xiao Qiao, you don't need to talk to me about these principles and bottom lines. We are all people in the system, and it's not like we don't understand the rules here. Is it interesting for you to use this kind of rhetoric to deal with me?" Xu Honggang snorted softly.
"Secretary Xu, what I say comes from the bottom of my heart. Why do you think I'm being perfunctory? Do you think that as cadres, we can ignore principles and bottom lines and use the power in our hands to do whatever we want?" Qiao Liang retorted. road.
Xu Hong just heard Qiao Liang's retort and was speechless. He really thought so in his heart, but he couldn't say it out loud. In his opinion, Qiao Liang was just deliberately speaking loudly in front of him. He I don’t believe that Qiao Liang didn’t use his power for his own personal gain.
After a brief silence, Xu Honggang said calmly, "Xiao Qiao, you don't need to use these words to preach to me. You were someone I took care of before. Why, now you want to educate me instead?"
"Secretary Xu, you misunderstood. I am not qualified to educate you. I just expressed my own thoughts and did not mean to preach to you." Qiao Liang denied. He said this, but Qiao Liang was disappointed in his heart. Thinking back to the time when I was with Xu Honggang, the image Xu Honggang showed was definitely not what he is today. How could a person change so much? Or maybe Xu Honggang had hidden himself too deeply before.
Xu Honggang obviously no longer had the patience to continue talking nonsense with Qiao Liang, and said coldly, "Xiao Qiao, I won't say any more. I just want to ask you, will you give me this face?"
"Secretary Xu, I'm sorry. It's not that I don't give you face, but that I can't make fun of my principles." Qiao Liang said seriously.
"Xiao Qiao, let me remind you one last thing. Xu Chan's case has attracted the attention of provincial leaders. If you insist on sticking to your so-called bottom line of principles, you will be responsible for the consequences later." Xu Honggang said with a flash of light in his eyes.
"Secretary Xu, I always say this no matter what leader is paying attention to." Qiao Liang was shocked. Xu Chan's case would actually attract the attention of provincial leaders. Was Xu Honggang trying to scare him, or was it true?
"Okay, since you said so, just pretend that I never made this call." Xu Honggang snorted coldly and hung up the phone after saying that.
Putting down the phone, Xu Honggang had an inexplicable smile on his face. He was not as angry as he had shown when he talked to Qiao Liang just now. Xu Honggang had already been mentally prepared for Qiao Liang's attitude. He knew that Qiao Liang was such a stinky person. The boy was unlikely to give him face, so Xu Honggang was not too angry. Therefore, after being rejected by Qiao Liang, Xu Honggang was not very angry.
Knowing that Su Huaxin was still waiting for his reply, Xu Honggang immediately called the other party. When the call was connected, Xu Honggang said, "Brother, I'm really sorry. I, the deputy secretary, don't even take notice of me." , that Qiao Liang just told me a bunch of bottom lines and rejected me."
"Really? It seems that this Qiao Liang is still a cadre who adheres to principles. Okay, very good." Su Huaxin narrowed his eyes.
Xu Honggang listened to Su Huaxin's tone and raised the corner of his mouth slightly. Knowing that Su Huaxin was angry at this time, Xu Honggang couldn't help but add fuel to the fire, "This Qiao Liang was promoted and important at a young age, and Secretary Guohong praised him again. A few times, he was a bit ignorant, arrogant, and arrogant. I even hinted to him just now, saying that provincial leaders were also paying attention to Xu Chan's case. But what do you think he answered me? He said he didn't care. It’s useless to pay any attention to the leadership, we can’t be careless about matters of principle, and we won’t give anyone any face.”
"Very good, I hope there are more cadres like Qiao Liang who stick to principles in our system." Su Huaxin chuckled.
Listening to Su Huaxin's words, Xu Honggang laughed unconsciously. He knew that he had successfully aroused Su Huaxin's resentment towards Qiao Liang. He did not expect Su Huaxin to target Qiao Liang now. After all, he had to eat one bite at a time. But at least for now his initial goal has been achieved.
At this time, Qiao Liang was distracted by the phone. Xu Honggang actually called to ask about Xu Chan. At this moment, Qiao Liang was thinking about three things. First, how did Xu Honggang know that the county was investigating Xu Chan? Yes. Who told Xu Honggang? If Xu Chan went to find Xu Honggang, it seemed a bit strange. I had never heard of any contact or relationship between Xu Chan and Xu Honggang before. If Xu Chan wanted to seek help, she would not have found Xu Honggang.
Second, why did Xu Honggang stand up for Xu Chan? In the current environment, is it necessary for him to stand up for this? Xu Honggang has a relatively good understanding of his own character and temper. He should probably know that interceding with him will be fruitless. , but now that he knows, why does Xu Honggang still prefer to travel to the tiger mountain despite knowing that there are tigers in the mountain? What is his purpose?
Recalling that she had just talked to Xu Chan and Xu Honggang called immediately, Qiao Liang had a vague suspicion in her heart. What puzzled Qiao Liang was, when did Xu Chan get involved in Xu Honggang's relationship? And this Obviously, this kind of relationship cannot be an ordinary relationship, otherwise Xu Honggang would never have taken the risk to open this mouth for Xu Chan.
Third, Xu Honggang just hinted that provincial leaders are paying attention to this matter. Is it true or false? If it is false, why did Xu Honggang do this? If it is true, who is this so-called provincial leader? This provincial leader What is the relationship with Xu Chan? How did Xu Chan become affiliated with the provincial leader? Thinking of this, Qiao Liang's expression suddenly became serious. He just thought Xu Honggang might be scaring him, but now it seems that Xu Honggang may not have said it out of thin air. .
But which provincial leader will say hello to Xu Chan? Qiao Liang frowned and couldn't figure it out for a moment. He really couldn't think of any relationship Xu Chan could have in the province. If the other party was so awesome, Because of the relationship, there was no need to ask for his help in the first place. He was transferred from the township to the county.
Thinking of this, Qiao Liang frowned. Xu Hong had just called him. Could it be that Xu Chan had urgently asked for help from the provincial leader, and then Xu Honggang was entrusted by the so-called provincial leader to find him? I had never heard that Xu Chan was in the province before. What kind of backing and background does it have, and how could a provincial leader suddenly appear?
The more Qiao Liang thought about it, the stranger he felt.
At the same time, Qiao Liang felt that he did not give Xu Honggang any face this time, and Xu Honggang must be very angry. He was the one who helped and cultivated him in the first place, but now that he does not give him face, it seems that he is repaying kindness with enmity. His relationship with Xu Honggang It seems that there is really starting to be a bit of a rift. This rift was still hidden before, but now it seems to have taken a step. What does this step mean for the future relationship between myself and Xu Honggang? Doesn't it mean? He and Xu Honggang will part ways publicly.
Thinking about the past between herself and Xu Honggang, and the help Xu Honggang had given her, Qiao Liang felt very uncomfortable, depressed and depressed.
"Alas..." Qiao Liang sighed. Since he couldn't think of a reason, he didn't bother to think about it anymore. Anyway, he had already said what he said. Regarding Xu Chan, he couldn't violate his principles. He could do whatever he wanted. Yes, there is no point in thinking about it anymore.
Qiao Liang continued to work. After a while, there was a noise outside the door. Qiao Liang vaguely heard the cry "I want to see County Magistrate Qiao". After listening carefully, he vaguely recognized that it was Xu Chan's voice. Qiao Liang Liang frowned and walked out. After a quick look, he searched for Xing Gong Zhongyu, which consists of the first letters of the pinyin of "Chu Luowan" plus the numbers 000724. Seeing Jiang Xiuxiu and others blocking the door of Xu Chan's office, Qiao The corner of Liang's mouth twitched. Jiang Xiuxiu acted really fast. Without any thought of saving Xu Chan any face, she led people to block the door of Xu Chan's office.
Xu Chan clearly showed resistance to the county prosecutors, so she clamored to see Qiao Liang. When she saw Qiao Liang walking out, Xu Chan showed a hopeful look on her face, and shouted to Qiao Liang He said, "County Magistrate, do you really not believe me? I really didn't do anything illegal. It's all Jiang Hui's nonsense. He framed me."
Hearing that Xu Chan still refused to admit it at this time, Qiao Liang showed a disappointed look on his face and said, "Director Xu, please cooperate with the investigation. If you have no problem, I believe the county prosecutor will not unjustly accuse you. Give you justice."
"County Magistrate, you..." Xu Chan bit her lip, with a very complicated look on her face. After all, Qiao Liang didn't miss the old relationship between the two at all.
"Director Xu, stop acting. Don't you know what you have done?" Jiang Xiuxiu looked at Xu Chan expressionlessly, not saving Xu Chan any face.
"Jiang Jian, don't go too far." Xu Chan stared at Jiang Xiuxiu with a trace of resentment in her eyes.
"I just handled the case in accordance with the law. It's not too much or too much." Jiang Xiuxiu said lightly. She had never had a good impression of Xu Chan. Now that she saw Xu Chan acting in front of Qiao Liang, she became even more disgusted with Xu Chan.
Xu Chan didn't say anything. She looked pale and finally looked at Qiao Liang with a begging look in her eyes.
Seeing Xu Chan's gaze, Qiao Liang almost softened her heart, but finally turned her head and said, "Director Xu, cooperate with the investigation and cherish the opportunity."
Qiao Liang believed that Xu Chan would understand what he meant. At this point, he didn't want Xu Chan to take any chances.
After Qiao Liang finished speaking, Jiang Xiuxiu said at this time, "Director Xu, you have also seen County Magistrate Qiao, should you leave with us?"
Xu Chan gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, I'll pack my things."
