Ye Xinyi smiled half-heartedly and said, "Since the new Director Qiao wants to treat us, even if we have something to do, we can arrange it after dinner."
Shao Bingyu nodded again.
Qiao Liang scratched his head: "Okay then..."
Lu Qian patted Qiao Liang on the shoulder: "Why didn't you ask me if I was okay?"
Qiao Liang glared: "I'm too lazy to ask, it's just a good thing that you have something to do."
"Bah, bad guy." Lu Qian curled her lips and hit Qiao Liang.
Seeing the two of them like this, Ye Xinyi couldn't help but laugh. Shao Bingyu also wanted to laugh, but the corners of his mouth moved, but he didn't laugh.
Then Qiao Liang pointed to the opposite hotel: "Let's go over there."
Everyone crossed the road together to go to the opposite hotel. This hotel was where Li Youwei and Fang Xiaoya came to Sanjiang on a business trip when Chu Heng and Qiao Liang came to Sanjiang to stay in the guest house. At that time, Qiao Liang went to see Li You
In order to talk to Fang Xiaoya about settling the old newspaper employees who were attacked by Wenyuan.
After entering the hotel lobby, they were about to go upstairs to the restaurant when a woman walked out of the elevator.
Everyone was stunned when they saw this woman, and then they became happy.
Jiang Xiuxiu, she is here.
"Hey, Xiuxiu..." Lu Qian said hurriedly.
Jiang Xiuxiu heard someone calling her, followed the sound, and saw them, with an unexpected and happy expression on her face, and walked over.
"Xiuxiu, you are here..." Ye Xinyi looked at Jiang Xiuxiu.
"I brought people here on business. When I arrived in Sanjiang today, the county guest house was full, so I stayed here." Jiang Xiuxiu said.
Considering the nature of Jiang Xiuxiu's current work, everyone guessed that her business trip might be related to handling cases, so they didn't ask any more questions.
Seeing them, Jiang Xiuxiu guessed that their appearance here must be related to the major event that was going to be held in Sanjiang, so she didn't ask.
Then Qiao Liang said: "How many of you are here?"
"There are two colleagues. They went to the restaurant and I was about to meet them for dinner." Jiang Xiuxiu said.
"Come with us." Qiao Liang said.
Everyone nodded.
Meeting them here, Jiang Xiuxiu was of course willing to have dinner with them, so she readily agreed.
Everyone entered the restaurant together. Jiang Xiuxiu said hello to her colleagues, and then went with them to the private room that Qiao Liang had ordered.
After everyone sat down, Qiao Liang ordered the waiter to serve wine and food.
Qiao Liang did not allow white wine, so everyone drank red wine together.
After the food and drinks were served, Qiao Liang looked at the beautiful woman in front of him, feeling melancholy and sadness in his heart. If Zhang Lin hadn't been in trouble, and if Fang Xiaoya and An Ran hadn't gone to the United States, there would have been 7 golden flowers if the beautiful women had come, but now there are only
Four flowers.
Qiao Liang sighed and raised his glass: "This is where Sister Lin worked during her lifetime. We came, but she left. Xiaoya and An Ran also went to the United States..."
Everyone looked a little sad and silently raised their glasses.
"The first glass of wine is for Sister Lin." After Qiao Liang finished speaking, he slowly poured the wine onto the ground.
Everyone also did what Qiao Liang did.
Then he poured the wine again, and Qiao Liang raised his glass and looked at everyone: "It's fate that brings us together in life. Let's have a drink for us to gather here."
"This glass of wine is to congratulate you on your progress." Lu Qian said.
"Yes, I officially congratulate you." Shao Bingyu said.
Jiang Xiuxiu looked at Qiao Liang with an expression of relief: "Brother Qiao, it's great that you have finally been promoted."
Ye Xinyi looked at Qiao Liang and then at Jiang Xiuxiu: "This glass of wine not only congratulates Qiao Liang, but also congratulates Xiuxiu."
"Yes, congratulations together." Lu Qian and Shao Bingyu nodded.
Qiao Liang nodded: "Thank you everyone, I wish our friendship will last forever, I wish all the beauties will become more and more beautiful, and I wish everyone's work and life will get better and better."
Let’s all drink together.
Then everyone chatted while eating.
Shao Bingyu looked at Qiao Liang: "Xiaoya is going to the United States this time. How long will it take to come back?"
"This..." Qiao Liang hesitated, "I don't know either."
"Brother Qiao, how could you not know?" Jiang Xiuxiu said.
Jiang Xiuxiu's words obviously imply that the relationship between Qiao Liang and Fang Xiaoya is extraordinary, and he should know it.
In fact, everyone has been aware of Fang Xiaoya's interest in Qiao Liang, but no one said it explicitly.
Hearing what Jiang Xiuxiu said, Lu Qian frowned: "Xiuxiu, I don't even know, why does Qiao Liang have to know?"
Lu Qian obviously meant something in her words. Although she knew that Fang Xiaoya meant something to Qiao Liang, she still wanted to say it at this time. It seemed that she wanted to downplay the relationship between Fang Xiaoya and Qiao Liang through these words.
What Lu Qian did seemed to be a subconscious thing, a woman's subconscious.
Jiang Xiuxiu seemed to hear a certain meaning in Lu Qian's words. She smiled and stopped talking, but sighed again in her heart.
Ye Xinyi looked at Lu Qian and blinked: "Qiao Liang and Xiaoya are old classmates for many years, shouldn't he know?"
Lu Qian also blinked: "Xinyi, you mean to say that I don't know is normal, but Qiao Liang does the opposite?"
"Yes." Ye Xinyi nodded.
Lu Qian curled her lips: "My favorite, aren't we and Xiaoya both good best friends?"
Ye Xinyi said: "Having said that, since Qiao Liang doesn't know, it seems normal that we don't know."
Lu Qian pursed her lips, looked at Qiao Liang and said, "Why did Xiaoya go to the United States? Why didn't you even tell her when she would come back?"
Qiao Liang's heart was filled with sorrow. Of course she knew the reason, but she couldn't tell her.
"No matter what she goes to the United States to do, I hope she can be safe and smooth and come back as soon as possible to be happy with everyone." After Qiao Liang finished speaking, she drank a glass of wine.
Everyone looked at each other with some doubts in their eyes.
But since Qiao Liang said so, it’s hard for everyone to ask anymore questions.
Then everyone changed the topic and talked about work and the recent personnel adjustments in the city.
"The scope of this adjustment is not small, and the response is not small. It can be said that some people are happy and some are sad." Ye Xinyi said with emotion.
"What? Did you feel it in Huangyuan too?" Qiao Liang said.
"Yes, although I work in Huangyuan, I am still from Jiangzhou. Of course, I pay special attention to what happens in Jiangzhou." Ye Xinyi said.
Qiao Liang then looked at Jiang Xiuxiu: "After Lao Yao left, what was the county's reaction?"
"There wasn't much of a reaction. It seemed like everyone thought he should have left a long time ago." Jiang Xiuxiu said.
Qiao Liang nodded: "Well, this is public opinion. If he leaves Songbei, I think many people in the county will be happy."
"But there should be unhappy people, both in Songbei and in the city." Ye Xinyi said.
Qiao Liang snorted: "So what if I'm not happy? I can't just stare."
Ye Xinyi smiled: "It seems that you belong to the happy group."
Qiao Liang also smiled: "What about you?"
"Me?" Ye Xinyi shook her head, "No comment."
Lu Qian looked at Qiao Liang: "Why are you happy?"
Qiao Liang imitated Ye Xinyi's tone and shook his head: "No comment."
Lu Qian curled her lips and Jiang Xiuxiu smiled secretly.
Shao Bingyu said: "It seems that every personnel adjustment contains complicated and unpredictable things. It's really tiring to think about it."
"Since you want to get along within the system, since you want to get along well, it's impossible not to get tired, and no one can escape." Qiao Liang said.
"Qiao Liang's words make sense." Ye Xinyi nodded.
Lu Qian blinked: "Why don't I feel tired?"
Qiao Liang glanced at Lu Qian and thought to himself, with you in my position, of course you won't feel tired.
Of course Ye Xinyi didn't think so, and said: "Because you came down from above to take a temporary job, you have fewer disputes with local interests, so of course you won't feel tired."
Lu Qian smiled: "Actually, I have been working in Jiangzhou for so long that I have feelings for this place and don't want to leave."
"Really?" Shao Bingyu looked at Lu Qian, who nodded seriously.
Ye Xinyi blinked: "Lu Qian, do you have feelings for Jiangzhou, or do you have feelings for the people here?"
"Um..." Lu Qian opened her mouth half-open, glanced at Qiao Liang, and then said, "Both."
Seeing Lu Qian looking at Qiao Liang, Ye Xinyi couldn't help but glance at Qiao Liang, and then looked at Lu Qian again. After pondering for a moment, her heart suddenly moved...
