"Well, I will tell him, safety first." Zhong Liyang nodded solemnly. Cao Qinming and a deputy mayor can disappear mysteriously, and it is possible that Qiu Yangxin will be missing later, although it is unlikely. , but we have to guard against it.
The two chatted about the relevant cases, and Zhong Liyang said goodbye and left, while Qiao Liang continued to be busy with the matters at hand. Near evening, Qiao Liang took a car to the city again. This day was quite a toss-up.
Qiao Liang came to the city and went directly to the hotel assigned to him by Ma Yanli. After entering the box, Ma Yanli had been waiting in the box for a long time. Qiao Liang didn't know how long Ma Yanli had been here, so he apologized. , "Minister Ma, I'm really sorry for keeping you waiting."
Ma Yanli smiled and said, "Secretary Qiao is out for a visit, and I have only been here for a while."
Ma Yanli stood up and said, "Secretary Qiao, please sit down."
Qiao Liang sat down and glanced at Ma Yanli with a strange look. Compared to the two previous times when she saw Ma Yanli, she was wearing work clothes. Tonight, Ma Yanli was wearing a cool and breathable dress, and Ma Yanli was obviously interested in it. She is very confident about her figure, and she chose a waist-style dress. Her slender waist makes it difficult to tell her true age.
At the age of about forty, she still has such a figure and such a well-maintained face. Qiao Liang couldn't help but wonder if Ma Yanli spent a lot of time on maintenance, and wondered if she was so concerned about her work. Woolen cloth.
Qiao Liang was vomiting secretly, and Ma Yanli smiled and handed over the menu, "Secretary Qiao, I have already ordered a few dishes, please take a look at what you want."
Qiao Liang smiled and said, "Just order it, Minister Ma. The two of us can't eat much."
Ma Yanli smiled, put down the menu, and asked, "What would Secretary Qiao want to drink?"
Qiao Liang said casually, "Let's have a drink."
Ma Yanli smiled when she heard this, "Secretary Qiao, drinks are not allowed, we have to have a drink at least, right?"
Qiao Liang frowned slightly, Ma Yanli had already stood up and brought two bottles of red wine to the table. It turned out that she had brought her own red wine.
At this time, Ma Yanli had unknowingly sat next to Qiao Liang. Qiao Liang smelled the perfume next to her and found that it was different from what she smelled during the day. It was probably not the same perfume. Look at Ma Yanli She looked like she had obviously dressed up after going home.
The thoughts in Qiao Liang's mind flashed through her mind, and without thinking much, she said, "Mr. Ma, if you invite me to dinner tonight, it shouldn't be as simple as just eating, right?"
Ma Yanli smiled and said, "Why, can't I treat Secretary Qiao to a simple dinner?"
Qiao Liang smiled and said, "Of course you can. To be honest, I'm a little flattered."
Ma Yanli pursed her lips and smiled, "Secretary Qiao doesn't even draft any lies. If I don't call again in the afternoon, Secretary Qiao won't be willing to come and have this meal with me, right?"
Qiao Liang chuckled. Ma Yanli's words made it difficult for him to accept.
Ma Yanli changed the topic and said with a smile, "Secretary Qiao, I know you have some objections to me because of the previous appointment as county bureau director, right?"
Qiao Liang said, "Mr. Ma is joking. We are all here for work, so we just need to understand each other."
Ma Yanli sneered, "Hypocritical."
Qiao Liang frowned and turned to look at Ma Yanli. She saw Ma Yanli looking at him with a faint smile, "Secretary Qiao, you are not such a person in my impression."
Qiao Liang said calmly, "What kind of person do you think I am, Minister Ma?"
Ma Yanli smiled and said, "In my impression, Secretary Qiao is a person who dares to take action and speaks out without any pretense."
Qiao Liang said, "Maybe Minister Ma still lacks a little understanding of me. We haven't been in contact for a long time."
Ma Yanli nodded, "Okay, what Secretary Qiao said makes sense. This person is indeed a very complex animal, especially the people in our system. Many people have two masks, one in front of him and one behind. It's a ghost, no one can tell who he is."
Qiao Liang didn't say anything. What did Ma Yanli want to say?
Qiao Liang secretly guessed that Ma Yanli changed the topic and said, "Secretary Qiao, actually regarding the appointment of your Daguan County Bureau Director, Secretary Qiao may have misunderstood me."
Qiao Liang looked at Ma Yanli, "What does Minister Ma mean?"
Ma Yanli smiled and said, "It doesn't mean anything, but there is a word that Secretary Qiao should know, which is that he can't help himself. I think Secretary Qiao should have personal experience after working in the system for so many years."
Qiao Liang frowned slightly as he listened to Ma Yanli's words. What did Ma Yanli mean? Did she want to tell him that the matter of Cai Minghai being transferred here and being disturbed had nothing to do with her?
Looking at Ma Yanli, Qiao Liang seemed to be judging whether Ma Yanli's words were credible. Ma Yanli said again, "Secretary Qiao, although I am the municipal organization director, I cannot decide on some personnel appointments myself. Yes, the appointment of Lu Changming as the director of the Daguan County Bureau is first of all a personnel suggestion made by the Municipal Bureau and our Organization Department, and secondly, the leaders above also approve it, so do you think I can object?"
Ma Yanli blinked, "Secretary Qiao, you have to guess."
Qiao Liang almost vomited blood. Damn it, Ma Yanli thought it was a child's guessing game and asked him to guess.
Speaking of this, the answer was actually ready to come out, but Qiao Liang felt a little evasive in his heart.
After a moment of silence, Qiao Liang still asked without giving up, "Minister Ma, are the leaders you are talking about here the leaders of the city or the province?"
Ma Yanli smiled and said, "I think it should be the leaders of the city. After all, it is unlikely that the leaders of the province will directly come forward for the appointment of a county bureau director, right?"
Ma Yanli's words seemed vague, but Qiao Liang's heart sank, and she felt a little complicated for a moment.
I don't know how long it took, but Qiao Liang suddenly came back to his senses and saw Ma Yanli leaning on the table and supporting her chin, looking at him with a smile.
Seeing Ma Yanli's ambiguous expression, Qiao Liang's heart skipped a beat...
Qiao Liang suppressed the restlessness in his heart and calmly withdrew his gaze. Maybe it was because he hadn't done that for a long time, but Qiao Liang felt that he had a slight reaction at this moment.
But soon, Qiao Liang calmed down the fire in his body. It would be embarrassing if some physical abnormalities occurred in this situation.
Qiao Liang's reaction was all in Ma Yanli's eyes. Ma Yanli smiled strangely and said, "Secretary Qiao, I really envy you. It's great to be young."
Qiao Liang glanced at Ma Yanli doubtfully, and was a little confused by the other party's meaningless words.
Ma Yanli smiled and said, "Being young means you are full of vigor, you will have more energy, and you will be full of energy."
Qiao Liang was stunned. No matter how he heard Ma Yanli's words, he felt a little weird, especially when Ma Yanli mentioned 'strong energy', Qiao Liang felt that the other party's eyes seemed to glance at a certain part of his body. , which made Qiao Liang even more uncomfortable. Damn, was Ma Yanli teasing herself in disguise?
At this time, Qiao Liang had no reason to think of some rumors about Ma Yanli. The other party's private life seemed not to be particularly strict. Now Ma Yanli was suspected of molesting him. Qiao Liang thought that this was okay. How could he, Qiao Liang, let a woman molest him? , immediately said, "Minister Ma seems to like young guys."
Qiao Liang's words were a pun, which was a response to Ma Yanli's words just now. Ma Yanli smiled when she heard this, "Young guys are good, obedient and capable. Who as a leader doesn't like young people who have just been recruited? Except for that. I lack a bit of experience, but it’s very easy to use, don’t you think?”
Qiao Liang looked strange. He didn't know if it was because of his unhealthy thinking. Anyway, Ma Yanli's words sounded serious, but he always felt that something was wrong, especially when Ma Yanli's expression was somewhat joking. When she talked about being obedient and capable, , the breath seems to have gotten worse, and it doesn’t sound right.
Qiao Liang curled his lips and didn't want to talk anymore, lest he stay in silence and talk more and more out of tune.
At this time, the waiter knocked on the door and came in to start serving the dishes. Ma Yanli asked the waiter to take the wine opener and open the red wine.
"Secretary Qiao, drink a little at night. You used to be a secretary. I believe Secretary Qiao's drinking capacity is good." Ma Yanli said with a smile.
"That's not necessarily true." Qiao Liang smacked his lips.
"Secretary Qiao, we are actually somewhat destined," Ma Yanli said.
"What fate?" Qiao Liang looked at Ma Yanli in confusion.
"You worked as secretary for Secretary An Zhe. I used to be a soldier under Secretary An. When Secretary An was still the mayor of Guanzhou in his early years, I was the director of the Municipal Culture Bureau." Ma Yanli said with a smile.
Qiao Liang was speechless. What kind of fate is this? It was obviously forced. However, Ma Yanli, a woman who looks harmless to humans and animals and has a charming smile, is definitely not an economical person. As a current city leader As the only female leader in the company, how can it be so easy for a woman like Ma Yanli who can get through the system?
Ma Yanli began to greet Qiao Liang to eat, and poured wine for Qiao Liang. She smiled and said, "Secretary Qiao, I must drink this glass of wine tonight. We had a misunderstanding before. Now let's talk about it. Drink this glass of wine." Just think of it as letting go of grudges with a smile."
Qiao Liang said, "Minister Ma is joking. We are all working, so there is no need to talk about any grudges."
Ma Yanli smiled and said, "Anyway, I don't want Secretary Qiao to hold a grudge. It's none of my business, so I have to explain it clearly. I can't take the blame for nothing, don't you think?"
Qiao Liang didn't say anything. Ma Yanli mentioned this again. Qiao Liang couldn't help but feel a little heavy. In fact, it was easy to guess who the leader in the city was who Ma Yanli could not disobey but could only obey. Is it true? Is it Guo Xing'an? Should I go back and ask Guo Xing'an face to face, or should I pretend not to know anything?
Qiao Liang didn't say anything, and Ma Yanli had already picked up the wine glass, "Secretary Qiao, come here, let me toast you."
Qiao Liang raised his glass and gestured to Ma Yanli, saying, "Minister Ma doesn't have to be so outspoken. Since it's a misunderstanding, just let's talk it over."
Ma Yanli smiled brightly and drank the wine in one gulp. "Actually, I don't have a good drinking capacity. My face gets angry when I drink, but I still like drinking. It's called overestimating my abilities."
