But Xu Honggang didn't think so. The scene of Qiao Liang and Ye Xinyi hugging each other and making out that night in Huangyuan was always hidden in his mind. At this time, hearing what Qiao Liang said, he made a clearer judgment:
First, there is no doubt that Qiao Liang is lying to himself. There is a problem with his trust and feelings for himself. The reason for the problem is, of course, that Qiao Liang has a more powerful backer, An Zhe. Compared with An Zhe, of course he has
At a disadvantage.
Xu Honggang has always recognized Qiao Liang's character and personality, but at this time, his thoughts couldn't help but be shaken. He couldn't help but secretly feel that as the surrounding environment and interpersonal relationships change, people will change.
As Anzhe's position became more stable and Qiao Liang himself was promoted, his consciousness and thoughts were also changing. The distance between him and himself was unknowingly widened, and his position in his heart was no longer as important as before.
This thought made Xu Honggang feel lost and disappointed. He even felt that he had to face an unavoidable reality, which Xu Honggang was extremely unwilling to see.
The second judgment Xu Honggang made is: since Qiao Liang is unwilling to develop that kind of relationship with Fang Xiaoya, and he hugged Ye Xinyi so affectionately that night, this shows that the reason why Qiao Liang does not want to think about personal issues is just
An excuse to explain that Qiao Liang and Ye Xinyi are indeed developing that kind of relationship, but for some reasons they are unwilling to make it public at the moment.
As for the relationship between Qiao Liang and Ye Xinyi, what he saw that night was just the two of them hugging each other, but maybe it was already deep, maybe it had already been...
Thinking of this, Xu Honggang felt strong sourness and indescribable jealousy in his heart.
In this complicated state of mind, Xu Honggang couldn't help but feel slightly cold when he looked at Qiao Liang.
At this time, Qiao Liang did not look at Xu Honggang, and certainly did not see Xu Honggang's gaze.
Xu Honggang's look disappeared instantly, and then he patted Qiao Liang's shoulder with a concerned tone: "Xiao Qiao, although I have always been very concerned about your personal problems, I hope you will have a warm and cozy home as soon as possible and have a normal life.
Human emotions and married life, but I can understand your current mood and completely understand it."
"Thank you, Secretary Xu." Qiao Liang was a little touched. After all, he was his old leader, and he still cared about and understood him very much.
Then Xu Honggang said: "You go first, I'll wait for the car to arrive, and I have a social event tonight."
"Xu Shu. Goodbye." Qiao Liang nodded and walked forward.
Xu Honggang looked at Qiao Liang's leaving back, his brows furrowed and his eyes slightly cold...
Qiao Liang returned to the dormitory and was about to cook noodles when his cell phone suddenly rang.
Qiao Liang touched the phone and looked at the call. It was Miao Peilong.
Qiao Liang answered the phone and was about to call "Brother Miao" when Miao Peilong's polite and steady voice came over the phone: "Good afternoon, Director Qiao."
Upon hearing Miao Peilong's tone, Qiao Liang sensitively realized that there was someone else next to Miao Peilong, otherwise he would call himself "Brother Qiao."
So Qiao Liang stopped calling him "Brother Miao" and politely said: "Miao Secretary, good afternoon."
Miao Peilong then laughed: "Director Qiao is off work?"
"Yes." Qiao Liang said.
"You don't have any plans for the evening?"
"No."
"Well, Chief Sheng County and I came to the city to do business. We have just finished our work and are about to have dinner. We would like to invite Director Qiao to have dinner. I wonder if Director Qiao will appreciate it?"
Qiao Liang nodded. It turned out that Miao Peilong was with Sheng Peng and wanted to invite him to dinner. I wonder if it was Miao Peilong who suggested it or Sheng Peng had this idea.
No matter who proposed it, since they invited me, I just went.
So Qiao Liang said: "Miao Secretary, I don't dare to accept the honor. You and County Magistrate Sheng are both leaders. It is my honor to invite me to have dinner with you."
"Director Qiao, you're welcome. Mr. Shengxian and I will stay at the Kaiyuan Hotel tonight, and dinner will be arranged here. I will ask Director Xu to take the car to pick you up now. Where are you now?" Miao Peilong said.
When he heard that he was going to have dinner at the Kaiyuan Hotel tonight, Qiao Liang couldn't help but frown. Damn it, ever since he married Ding Lei at this hotel, he and the Kaiyuan Hotel have an inseparable bond.
At the same time, Qiao Liang heard that Xu Chan had also followed Miao Peilong. She wondered who else would be having dinner with them tonight except the three of them.
"I'm in the dormitory now, so you don't need to be picked up. You can just take a taxi yourself." Qiao Liang said.
"Hey, how can this be done? Director Qiao is the city leader and asked you to take a taxi, but it seems that we are too disrespectful to you. You can come down and wait in a while. Director Xu will be here soon." Miao Peilong hung up the phone after saying this.
.
Qiao Liang put away her cell phone, washed her face, then went downstairs and stood at the door of the apartment complex.
At this time, Shao Bingyu came back from get off work. Seeing Qiao Liang standing there, he took the initiative to say hello: "What, you want to go out to eat?"
Qiao Liang nodded: "Yes, Songbei County's Miao Secretary and Sheng County Chief are here and asked me to have dinner."
Shao Bingyu nodded. Although Qiao Liang's rank was not as high as that of Miao Peilong and Sheng Peng, his status was not ordinary. In a sense, Qiao Liang's participation in their dinner could be regarded as giving them face.
Qiao Liang continued: "Do you want to go together?"
Shao Bingyu shook his head: "They invited you, and I'm not very familiar with them. Why should I go? Besides, you men have to smoke when you drink together, and I don't want to inhale second-hand smoke."
Qiao Liang blinked: "So, you never smoke."
Shao Bingyu frowned: "Of course, when did you see me smoking?"
Qiao Liang nodded, suddenly thinking of Wu Huiwen and the way Wu Huiwen was smoking in front of him.
Every time he thinks of this, Qiao Liang feels fresh and exciting.
Qiao Liang couldn't help but think that she hadn't seen Wu Huiwen for some days and wondered if she knew about his promotion. If she knew, she would definitely be very happy.
Thinking of this, Qiao Liang suddenly missed Wu Huiwen. Her calmness, nobility and elegance, as well as her gentle and caring eyes every time she saw him, made Qiao Liang feel warm in her heart.
At this time, a black car stopped beside them, and the car number was Miao Peilong's.
Then the front door opened, Xu Chan got out of the car, greeted Qiao Liang first, and then respectfully said to Shao Bingyu: "Hello, Minister Shao."
Because of their work relationship, Shao Bingyu and Xu Chan had interacted several times and they knew each other.
Shao Bingyu nodded to Xu Chan: "Hello, Director Xu."
Xu Chan continued: "I'm here to pick up Director Qiao."
"Well, okay, you go ahead." Shao Bingyu said.
Qiao Liang looked at Shao Bingyu: "Are you sure you don't want to go with me?"
"Yes." Shao Bingyu said simply.
"Then I'll go." Qiao Liang said.
Shao Bingyu nodded and said casually: "Eat more vegetables and drink less."
Qiao Liang was slightly startled. This was the first time he heard such words from Shao Bingyu since he met her. There seemed to be some concern in these words.
