An Zhe continued: "Xiao Tao, I'm talking about a young man named Xue Yuan who has just been recruited by the commission and passed the civil service examination. He is a graduate student from Beijing's Enron School..."
"Ah..." Xiao Tao exclaimed, her mouth half-opened and her eyes wide open.
"Huh?" An Zhe frowned and looked at her, "Xiao Tao, what's wrong?"
Xiao Tao was stunned and speechless, then looked straight at Qiao Liang.
As soon as he saw Xiao Tao's look, Qiao Liang understood what it meant. When he was hanging out at Anran School during the May Day holiday, he and Xiao Tao had met Xue Yuan together, so of course they knew him. Xiao Tao's look was clearly questioning herself:
Damn it, why didn't you tell me this?
In front of An Zhe, Qiao Liang didn't know what to say to Xiao Tao at this moment, grinned, and then lowered his head to eat the food.
An Zhe was kept in the dark at this time. He looked at Qiao Liang, then at Xiao Tao, and continued to frown: "Xiao Tao, why are you looking at Qiao Liang?"
Xiaotao realized her gaffe at this time and smiled covertly: "No, it's nothing..."
An Zhe was silent for a moment: "Could it be that you think Qiao Liang is handsome?"
Qiao Liang looked up at An Zhe, wanting to laugh but not laughing.
Xiaotao, however, couldn't tell whether to laugh or cry, and then she lowered her head and went to her room.
Looking at Xiao Tao's back, An Zhe shook his head and looked at Qiao Liang: "What on earth is going on?"
Qiao Liang knew that the matter could no longer be kept secret, so he quietly told An Zhe about Xue Yuan and Xiao Tao's previous relationship, as well as the time he met Xue Yuan and his beautiful girlfriend at An Ran school.
After listening to Qiao Liang's words, An Zhe suddenly understood and nodded: "That's it."
"Yes." Qiao Liang nodded and continued in a low voice, "Although Xue Yuan and Xiao Tao have broken up long ago, Xiao Tao's behavior shows that she still cares about Xue Yuan."
An Zhe sighed: "Infatuated girls, although we were all the same in middle school, but times have changed, she and Xue Yuan are still very different now, not to mention that Xue Yuan has a girlfriend, which is obviously no longer possible.
"
"Yes, it's impossible." Qiao Liang nodded, "As far as I know, Xue Yuan is now in the Secretarial Section. Not only is he arrogant, he doesn't take his colleagues seriously, he doesn't even listen to what the section chief says.
, and this guy really likes to camp..."
Due to his poor impression of Xue Yuan, Qiao Liang did not say anything good about him in front of An Zhe, but what Qiao Liang said was in line with the facts.
An Zhe nodded: "I have also heard about Xue Yuan's performance through different channels. This kind of young man has just entered the society from school and lacks experience, but he is self-satisfied because of his high academic qualifications and a lot of ink in his belly.
, such young people are found in agencies at all levels and in many units. They still need to be tempered in practice and grow up through beatings. You can go back and tell the secretary, the chief of the first section, that if necessary, at the right time, he can be killed.
Kill his arrogance and let him know his weight. If the section chief can't control him, step forward."
Qiao Liang agreed.
An Zhe continued: "When you first entered the system in Sanjiang, were you like Xue Yuan?"
Qiao Liang shook his head: "Before I went to work on my first day, my parents told me that I was a farmer's child from the countryside. It doesn't matter if I don't have a background. I have to rely on myself for everything. I must cherish this hard-won job.
The work unit must be honest, do things in a down-to-earth manner, be low-key and humble, and don't raise your tail... Over the years, no matter where I am, I have always remembered my parents' words."
An Zhe nodded approvingly: "That's it. Although they are all young people and have just come out of school, it still varies from person to person. This is related to each person's growth environment and family education and family tradition."
An Zhe's words were obviously praising his parents for their good education. Qiao Liang felt happy after hearing this.
An Zhe continued: "Liang Zi, as a farmer who came from the mountains, it is quite difficult and quite good for you to be able to achieve what you are now step by step. At your current age, even if you are the same age as those with connections and backgrounds in the city,
Compared with others, you are also in a leading position. In other words, you are already the best among your peers."
Qiao Liang was happy after hearing this and said: "Actually, in addition to my own efforts, this is also due to the fact that I met several good leaders at different times who were kind to me."
"You're talking about Li Youwei, Xu Honggang and me, right?" An Zhe said.
Qiao Liang nodded.
"So, among the three of us, who do you think is the most helpful to you?" Anzhe asked with great interest.
"This..." Qiao Liang hesitated a little. In front of An Zhe, this question seemed difficult to answer.
"It doesn't matter, tell the truth and speak boldly." An Zhe encouraged.
Since An Zhe encouraged him, Qiao Liang told the truth: "For now, he should be my boss."
An Zhe blinked, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes, but he smiled again: "You really dare to tell the truth. If it were anyone else who answered this question in front of me, it seems that the answer would not be this."
"I know that anyone else would definitely say it was you, but in front of you, I don't want to lie or go against my heart," Qiao Liang said.
"But you know, sometimes telling the truth is not flattering." An Zhe said with a half-smile.
"I can't help it. My boss has led me step by step since I started. He has cultivated me. If I speak without conscience, I will feel at ease and my conscience will be condemned." Qiao Liang said sincerely.
An Zhe then asked tentatively: "Then can I be ranked second?"
"Yes, that's no problem." Qiao Liang nodded affirmatively. Compared with Xu Honggang, An Zhe was obviously more helpful to him.
"Then is it possible for me to become number one in the future?" An Zhe asked again.
Hearing what An Zhe said, Qiao Liang couldn't help but laugh. This guy wanted to be first in everything.
"I don't know about this either." Qiao Liang added after he finished speaking, "But it all depends on people. If you work hard, there should still be hope..."
"Why do you sound like you are encouraging me?" An Zhe snorted.
Qiao Liang couldn't help laughing: "You can also think that I am encouraging you."
Anzhe snorted again: "Why do I feel like we fell down?"
Qiao Liang changed his serious expression, shook his head, and said solemnly: "The boss is the boss, and he will never fall down at any time. In my heart, no matter when and where, no matter whether I will follow you in the future, you
They are all the bosses in my heart forever."
"Yes." Anzhe nodded with satisfaction, then raised his glass: "Drink——"
The two of them had a second drink.
An Zhe continued: "In the past week, I know that you have been under tremendous pressure. This pressure is not only because of Yangshan Songbei, not only because of you, but also because of me, right?"
Qiao Liang nodded.
"Are you still stressed now?" An Zhe said.
Qiao Liang thought about An Zhe's words, and it seemed that there was something in his words.
Qiao Liang continued: "Because the pressure from Yangshan Songbei is gone."
An Zhe obviously heard something from Qiao Liang's words and smiled: "In this life, as long as you want to be positive, pressure is everywhere. The key depends on how you deal with it and what kind of mentality you use to deal with it.
Look at it. Some people collapse under the pressure and choose to give up and sink. Some people work hard to endure a tenacious struggle and actively use their brains to find solutions. You belong to the latter this time.
To be honest, I had no choice when I sent you to lead the team this time. I didn’t have the confidence to win at that time, so I didn’t put any hard requirements on you, but your performance exceeded my expectations, although there was some luck in it.
However, I believe that no one who comes to supervise this time would be as lucky as you. Therefore, this may seem lucky or accidental, but in fact there is a kind of inevitability in it.
At the same time, this time leading the team to Yangshan Songbei for supervision is also an important test for you and a rare exercise. I can now say without exaggeration that you have successfully passed the test and have greatly accepted the exercise.
From this perspective, I want to congratulate you."
After saying that, Anzhe raised his glass again with a pleased expression.
Qiao Liang was quite moved. He raised his glass respectfully, looked at An Zhe and said solemnly: "Boss, from my perspective, I should thank you for giving me this opportunity to be tested and trained. Although this test and training are
The process was torturous and even painful, but afterwards I felt very rewarded.”
"Well, people always have to grow up in this kind of suffering and pain. If you don't go through wind and rain, how can you see the rainbow?" An Zhe and Qiao Liang clinked their glasses, "We have fulfilled our mission and returned in triumph, drink--"
The two then drank a third glass.
Before I knew it, I drank all the bottle of Moutai and then ate.
After dinner, Anzhe and Qiao Liang drank tea for a while in the living room. Qiao Liang saw that it was getting late and stood up to leave.
An Zhe glanced at Xiaotao's room, and then said loudly: "Xiaotao, Qiao Liang is leaving, you can see him off for me."
Qiao Liang knew what An Zhe meant. He was a frequent visitor here and could come and go as he pleased. Where could he need to send something?
So Qiao Liang said nothing.
Then Xiao Tao came out of the room, looking restless.
"I'm going to take a shower upstairs." After Anzhe said that, he stood up and went upstairs.
Xiao Tao looked at Qiao Liang intently, and Qiao Liang smiled unnaturally.
"Let's go." Xiao Tao said.
The two of them left An Zhe's house. Qiao Liang did not leave immediately, but stopped at the door. He knew An Zhe's intention of letting Xiao Tao see him off, and he also knew that Xiao Tao had something to say.
Xiaotao lowered her head and was silent for a moment, then whispered: "Since you already knew it, why didn't you tell me?"
Xiao Tao's tone was somewhat accusatory.
Qiao Liang breathed out softly: "Xiao Tao, do you think it is meaningful for you to tell you this? Is it really of any benefit to you?"
Xiaotao lowered his head and said nothing.
Qiao Liang continued: "Although in terms of social status and level, you and him seem to be inappropriate now, but from another perspective, even if he doesn't have a girlfriend now, I think he is not worthy of you."
Xiao Tao looked up at Qiao Liang, who nodded seriously.
"Brother Qiao, what angle are you talking about?" Xiao Tao asked.
"You will know gradually in the future." Qiao Liang said.
Xiao Tao thought for a moment and pursed her lips slightly: "I really didn't expect that he would come to Jiangzhou and be in the same unit as you."
"I was surprised when I first saw him in the workplace, but that's the fact. Not only did he get into the committee, but he was also admitted with first place," Qiao Liang said.
"He was very good and talented before, and he is still the same now, even more powerful..." Xiao Tao murmured.
Hearing what Xiao Tao said, Qiao Liang was a little disdainful. Damn, what's the use of just being good at exams? Just having theory without practice is useless. The key is to see whether you have real ability at work.
Although he thought so, Qiao Liang did not say it out loud.
Xiao Tao continued: "Brother Qiao, if I hadn't accidentally mentioned him when you were drinking today and I overheard it, how long would you have planned to hide this from me?"
"I can keep it secret as long as I can. Anyway, as long as you don't know, I won't take the initiative to tell you." Qiao Liang said simply.
"Why?" Xiao Tao asked.
"Because you are a kind and innocent good girl, and I don't want to see your peaceful life get into trouble again, or get hurt again," Qiao Liang said.
Xiaotao lowered her head and thought silently for a while, then raised her head and looked at Qiao Liang: "Brother Qiao, thank you..."
Qiao Liang saw Xiao Tao's expression feeling a little lonely and sad.
This made Qiao Liang sigh and sigh.
Then Xiao Tao turned around and went back, and Qiao Liang took a deep breath and left.
After work the next day, Qiao Liang was sorting documents in the office when Sun Yong opened the door and came in.
"Director Qiao, congratulations to the leader." Sun Yong cupped his fists and smiled at Qiao Liang.
Qiao Liang also smiled and said: "Congratulations for what?"
"Asking knowingly." Sun Yong sat on the chair opposite Qiao Liang.
Qiao Liang handed Sun Yong a cigarette, lit it for him, then lit one himself, took two puffs and said, "Brother, when we are alone, can you not call me the leader?"
"But that's the fact. You are indeed the leader now." Sun Yongdao.
"Facts are facts, buddies are buddies, don't play tricks on me," Qiao Liang said.
Qiao Liang's words made Sun Yong very helpful and he nodded: "Okay, from now on we will still treat each other as brothers in private."
"That's right." Qiao Liang nodded with satisfaction.
Sun Yong continued: "However, out of my sincere admiration for Brother Qiao's character and ability, I am still willing to regard you as my leader."
Qiao Liang laughed and continued: "Last week, I sent you and Huang Jie down. Do you have any ideas?"
"I definitely have ideas, but they are not opinions." Sun Yongdao.
"Then what did you think of?" Qiao Liang said.
"I thought of supervising that kid Huang Jie to prevent him from doing bad things." Sun Yongdao.
Qiao Liang nodded: "With you by his side, I believe he has no chance to do anything."
Sun Yongdao: "However, he still secretly looks for opportunities to report to his boss every day."
"I expected this, and it is unavoidable. In fact, there is no need for him to be secretive. He can call Mayor Qin openly. I estimate that what he reports should be our work situation there." Qiao Liang said.
Sun Yong nodded: "Probably, because the conditions below are limited. We live in the same room. He often avoids me when he calls. I don't know what he reported. However, one day after dinner, Huang Jie
I went back to the room directly. I walked back for a while. When I walked to the door of the room, the door was ajar. I heard him making a phone call inside. It sounded like he was calling Mayor Qin, so I stood at the door and listened.
Listening, I found that the content of his report this time has nothing to do with our work there."
"Oh, what did he say?" Qiao Liang became interested.
At this time, Qiao Liang did not expect that Nong Xi, whom Sun Yong overheard, would reveal something very important.
