After a moment, Chu Heng's voice came from the phone: "Secretary An..."
An Zhe continued: "Minister Chu, I just read today's Jiangdong Daily. There is an article from Jiangzhou on the first page, about the emergency management of environmental protection in Songbei, Yangshan. Have you seen it?"
"I just saw it." Chu Heng said.
"What do you think of this manuscript?"
"This..." Chu Heng couldn't guess what An Zhe was thinking at this time, so he couldn't help but think about it.
An Zhe continued: "Who is the author of this manuscript?"
"It's from the Yangshan Songbei Propaganda System." Chu Heng said.
"Who arranged for this article to be published in Jiangdong Daily?" An Zhe asked next.
Because he couldn't figure out what An Zhe was thinking at this time, Chu Heng was a little nervous and hesitated: "I arranged it."
"Why did you arrange to publish this manuscript?" An Zhe said.
"I..." Chu Heng couldn't help but become more and more nervous. He thought quickly and decided to tell the truth before he could figure out An Zhe's true attitude.
So Chu Heng said: "To be precise, this manuscript was not arranged by me."
"Who is that?" An Zhe asked.
Chu Hengdao: "Mayor Qin came to me and said that the Yangshan Songbei environmental protection emergency management was done beautifully. The contribution made by Chint Group is really admirable and touching. If I don't publicize it well, I really feel sorry for Chint Group.
Doing this is not only a righteous act to promote Chint Group in society, but also a reward for them."
"Well, why did you think of arranging this manuscript after Mayor Qin found you? Why didn't you take the initiative to do this?" An Zhe said.
"This..." Chu Heng pondered.
An Zhe continued: "As the leader in charge of publicity, you should proactively think of this kind of news that promotes positive energy in society, instead of waiting for others to remind you. Minister Chu, I think your reaction to this matter
It's a bit slow..."
Chu Heng was startled. It turned out that this was what An Zhe meant. He didn't seem to realize any crisis from this manuscript, but instead criticized his own work for lacking initiative and sensitivity.
This somewhat surprised Chu Heng. Was An Zhe's reaction really slow? Or was he a fan of the authorities?
Without thinking too much, Chu Heng said hurriedly: "You are right to criticize me. I will correct this in the future."
An Zhe continued: "I read this manuscript carefully. It is well written and the comments distributed are also good. I think it will achieve a good publicity effect, but this is not enough."
"What do you mean..." Chu Heng tried.
"What I mean is that it's not enough to publish it in the provincial media. The media in Jiangzhou must also publish it, so that everyone in Jiangzhou knows about it." An Zhe said simply.
"Oh, okay, I'll make arrangements right away." Chu Heng agreed hurriedly.
Anzhe hung up the phone, then lit a cigarette and took two puffs.
Qiao Liang stared blankly at An Zhe, what does this guy mean? He still thinks it's not big enough? He still wants to add fuel to the flames?
Seeing Qiao Liang in a daze, An Zhe smiled slightly: "Liang Zi, you can go about your own business."
Qiao Liang nodded, stood up and walked out, still feeling confused in his mind.
Back in the office, Qiao Liang then called Li Youwei.
At this time, Li Youwei also saw the article sent by Jiangdong Daily and was about to call Qiao Liang, but he called first.
Qiao Liang told Li Youwei about Chu Heng's manipulation of the manuscript, and then said: "Boss, what do you think about this?"
Li Youwei was silent for a moment and said, "I suddenly remembered something someone said."
"What are you talking about?" Qiao Liang said.
Li Youwei said slowly: "There is a kind of love called wrong love, and there is a kind of killing called flattering killing."
Qiao Liang's heart trembled: "Who said this?"
"You don't know, when I was on a business trip to Harbin, I was chatting with a client named Ben, and he said something unintentionally." Li Youwei said.
Qiao Liang thought about the meaning of these words and couldn't help but feel a little nervous, but then thought of the reactions of An Zhe and Liao Gufeng. Although he was confused, he felt a little inexplicably relaxed, and then told An Zhe about the call he had just made to Chu Heng.
Li Youwei.
After listening, Li Youwei was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed: "This seems interesting."
"What do you mean?" Qiao Liang asked.
Li Youwei did not answer Qiao Liang's words: "Liang Zi, pay close attention to the development of the situation. If nothing unexpected happens, I think it will become lively soon."
"Boss, what do you think will be a fun way to do this?" Qiao Liang said.
"I can't make a clear judgment now, but I feel that once this matter comes to a head, it will not only affect people in Jiangzhou, but most likely, Huangyuan will also be uneasy." Li Youwei said.
Qiao Liang was shocked, Emma, Huang Yuan? Who will Huang Yuan be involved in?
After making the phone call with Li Youwei, Qiao Liang stood at the window and smoked silently, combing through the matter from beginning to end, pondering over the details, Jiangzhou, Huangyuan...
At this time, Chu Heng was also smoking in the office, thinking about the call An Zhe had just made to him.
After thinking for a long time, Chu Heng decided not to tell Qinchuan that Anzhe called him.
Chu Heng did this after repeated weighing. He had already told An Zhe that this matter was arranged by Qin Chuan. In this way, no matter what happens in the future, his responsibility on An Zhe's side will be very light or even non-responsible. And once it happens,
If the matter is beneficial to him, then he will be a great contributor to Luo Fei and Qin Chuan.
This is the best of both worlds.
Chu Heng then picked up the phone and called Shao Bingyu, asking her to notify Jiangzhou Daily and forward the Jiangdong Daily article tomorrow.
After making the call, Chu Heng took two puffs of cigarette, looked at the green smoke curling and spreading in front of his eyes, and smiled gloomily...
After get off work at noon, Qiao Liang drove to Chint Group to return the car, and received a call from Su Yan on the way.
"I haven't seen you for a while. What have you been busy with recently?" Su Yan said.
"What else can you be busy with? Just be busy with work." Qiao Liang said.
"Work seems to be all your excuses."
"Isn't this an appropriate excuse?"
Su Yan snorted: "Chu Heng called me over the weekend and asked how we were progressing?"
"How did you answer?"
"What else can I say, except that it's great. We see each other several times a week and just watched a movie together on Friday night."
"Well, that's right." Qiao Liang said with satisfaction.
"Chu Heng also asked us if we had done it?" Su Yan said again.
"Huh? How did you answer?"
"How else can I answer that?"
Qiao Liang smiled: "Do you really want to do it with me?"
"So what if you want to? What if you don't want to? Anyway, you look down on me from the bottom of your heart and think I am a dirty woman." Su Yan's voice was a little dull.
Qiao Liang didn't say anything for a while. Indeed, she did feel this way. Damn, she had that kind of relationship with Chu Heng. Of course she didn't want to touch it.
Su Yan continued: "Will you always look at me like this?"
"have no idea."
"I don't know, but it might change?" Su Yan felt hopeful again.
"Su Yan, whether you can change is not something you say, but something you do. It all depends on your performance." Qiao Liang said simply.
Su Yan was silent for a moment: "Okay, I understand. Anyway, we are a community of interests now, and I will do what I should do."
Qiao Liang said: "We have become an alliance for our own interests. I think this is good. Everyone feels at ease with each other. The previous cooperation has been very smooth. I hope we can continue like this."
"If this continues, what will our final outcome be?"
"The result is that we each get what we want."
"Do you think that what I want is just something within the system?"
"What else do you want?"
Su Yan didn't speak for a while, then said: "Let's not talk about this anymore, let everything take its course."
Qiao Liang snorted in his heart and let nature take its course. No matter how much you let nature take its course, I have no interest in having sex with you.
But at present, Qiao Liang didn't want to ruin her cooperation with Su Yan because of this, and said: "Yes, it's best to let things take their own course. By the way, what's new with the beautiful anchor recently?"
Su Yan said: "According to my observation, Chu Heng has not summoned her in the past month."
"How are you so sure?"
"Because the bureau has been very busy recently, I work overtime with Director Kong every night. This little beauty lives in the dormitory of the bureau. Next door to her is another anchor, who is my former subordinate, and I
We have a good relationship, and I tricked her into talking to her intentionally or unintentionally, and she said that this little beauty has been living in the dormitory every night for the past month, including weekends."
Qiao Liang nodded: "What did you think of?"
"I think Chu Heng must have another woman."
"The other woman...do you know who she is?"
"I don't know, it's not me anyway."
Qiao Liang laughed: "I know it's not you now, but it was you before."
"Can you not say that?" Su Yan said displeased.
"Okay, don't say that." Qiao Liang didn't want to irritate Su Yan, and continued, "Actually, I think you are getting better and better now."
"If it wasn't beneficial to you, would you still say that?" Su Yan said.
"Maybe."
"Just maybe."
"Maybe that's good, what else do you want?"
Su Yan snorted and then hung up the phone.
Qiao Liang thought about it while driving, and then called Wang Xiao.
"Brother, has there been any progress on that matter?"
"Brother Qiao, according to your instructions, I recently investigated Chu Heng's immediate family members and found nothing." Wang Xiao said listlessly.
"Huh?" Qiao Liang frowned deeply, feeling disappointed. Why is Chu Heng so difficult to find? Damn, is he really an upright and honest person with no financial problems?
Impossible, absolutely impossible.
Wang Xiao continued: "By the way, there is another person I haven't checked."
"who?"
"Ji Hong, Chu Heng's wife, I can't find any trace of her now."
Qiao Liang laughed dumbly: "You don't need to check her."
"Oh, then my next step is to investigate Chu Heng's collateral relatives?"
"Okay." Qiao Liang paused and then said, "You also need to check how many women Chu Heng has, including the specific circumstances of these women."
"This seems difficult."
"Why do you say that?"
"This guy is very cautious. When he is alone, he has a strong sense of anti-stalking. I was almost discovered by him a few times. All I can find now is that a female TV anchor has been to his house late at night, and she has not
On-site evidence..."
Qiao Liang continued: "You have to check even if it's difficult. Give it a try, you might gain something. However, the premise is that it must not be discovered by him. If there is a possibility of exposure, stop immediately."
"Okay, Brother Qiao, I'll listen to you." Wang Xiao agreed.
After calling Wang Xiao, Qiao Liang arrived at Chint Group and returned the car.
Qiao Liang originally planned to have dinner with Li Youwei at noon, but Li Youwei had important customers to entertain at noon, so he left and found a restaurant outside to have something to eat.
After dinner, seeing that it was still early to go to work in the afternoon, Qiao Liang remembered that he hadn't seen his third child in some days and decided to go to Tongtong Travel Agency.
When we arrived at the travel agency, the first floor was very quiet. All the employees had gone out to eat. There was only one receptionist lying down in front of the front desk and taking a nap. When Qiao Liang came in, the receptionist greeted her warmly. Qiao Liang said he was a friend of Lao San and came over to play. The receptionist
The clerk said that the chairman and general manager were in the office upstairs.
Qiao Liang nodded and went straight upstairs, walked to the third son's office, and opened the door without pushing it.
Nima, why are you closed at noon?
Qiao Liang was about to knock on the door when he suddenly heard vague movement inside.
Qiao Liang frowned, huh? What's going on? What's the movement?
Qiao Liang put his ear close to the crack of the door and heard clearly this time. From time to time, a woman's suppressed humming could be heard inside.
Qiao Liang was happy, Nima, Laosan and Tongtong were doing that in the office.
Qiao Liang did not interrupt, lit a cigarette, stood at the door and smoked quietly, listening from time to time.
After a long time, there was finally no movement.
Well, after finishing his work, Qiao Liang then knocked on the door "bang bang".
"Who is it?" the third child's voice came from the room.
"I." Qiao Liang said.
"Fuck, wait a minute..." Then there was a movement in the room, and then the third child came to open the door.
There was still a thin layer of sweat on Lao San's face. Tong Tong sat in front of Lao San's desk with a rosy complexion and smiled at Qiao Liang.
"Damn it, why didn't you make a call before coming here?" said the third child.
"If I don't call, I won't disturb your good things." Qiao Liangpi said with a smile.
"Huh? Birdman, what do you mean?" the third child said seriously.
"I've been smoking at the door, and I didn't knock on the door until you were done," Qiao Liang said.
Tongtong blushed even more, then stood up and replied shyly: "You two, let's talk, I'll go to the office to do some business."
"Okay, Mr. Tong, your mission is completed, go and get busy." The third child said carelessly.
Tongtong hit the third child, and then went out in embarrassment.
Then the third child punched Qiao Liang: "My day, you eavesdropped."
"Don't do it if you're afraid of being heard..." Qiao Liang laughed, then looked at the sofa, "Did you do it on the sofa?"
The third child nodded and chuckled: "On a whim at noon..."
"How does it feel when the chairman becomes the general manager? Is it exciting?" Qiao Liang said evilly.
"Okay, don't make fun of me." The third child punched Qiao Liang again, then sat on the sofa and looked at Qiao Liang, "Why do you have time to come here?"
Qiao Liang pulled up a chair and sat down: "I miss you."
"Where are you thinking?"
"It's not down there anyway."
The third child burst out laughing: "If you miss me down there, I'll cut it for you."
Qiao Liang grinned: "How is business lately?"
"It's not bad, but Tongtong is busy. I'm a layman, so I can help her."
"You, the chairman, don't live up to your name."
"I can't help it. Tong Tongfei asked me to do it. In fact, I still like my old job."
"What? Are you still evil?"
"Kind of."
"Don't do it if you have that idea. There are risks in that line of work. It would be great to make money steadily by doing tourism."
"Tongtong said the same thing, but I really like that line of work, and I feel itchy when I think about it."
"How is Wang Xiao doing now?" Qiao Liang asked.
The third child said: "Just so-so. Although I taught him a lot of things, sometimes you have to rely on talent to do this stuff. This kid is not as good as me in this aspect. If you encounter difficult things, you should ask me for advice."
Qiao Liang blinked. He had originally told Wang Xiao not to tell Lao San what he had entrusted him to do. Seeing what Lao San said now, it seemed that Wang Xiao did not tell Lao San and did not go to Lao San when he encountered problems with the matters he had entrusted.
Qiao Liang then changed the subject: "When are you going to hold the wedding?"
The third child said: "The company's business is too busy now, just wait, there is no rush, anyway, we are not driving without a license now."
"You're not in a hurry, I'm afraid your parents are."
"There's nothing we can do about it. After all, we have to put our career first." After the third child finished speaking, he looked at Qiao Liang and asked, "What's your situation now?"
"What's going on with me?"
"Nonsense, it's a personal issue."
"Don't talk about this." Qiao Liang waved his hand.
"What's the point of not talking about this? I guess your parents must be very anxious."
Qiao Liang sighed: "As you said, career is the most important thing now."
"Your career is so important, how can it compare with ours?" The third child snorted, then asked, "Do you have a goal?"
Qiao Liang shook his head.
"Brother, I think you should hurry up on this matter." The third child said.
Qiao Liang lowered his head and smoked, saying nothing.
The third child was silent for a moment: "How is Zhang Mei doing now?"
"It's still like that." Qiao Liang's eyes dimmed. He just went to the mental hospital to see Zhang Mei a few days ago. Every time he saw Zhang Mei, his mood would be depressed for several days.
Seeing Qiao Liang's expression, the third child cautiously asked, "Are you still thinking about Zhang Mei?"
There was an unspeakable feeling in Qiao Liang's heart. He couldn't deny that in his emotional life so far, Zhang Mei was the only woman he had ever loved. However, his true love for her was what he got in return.
A shameful cuckold.
This kind of shame has always been deeply ingrained in Qiao Liang's heart, making him have an indescribable feeling towards Zhang Mei. In terms of hatred, he once had it, and he hated it very much. He hated it to the core, but Zhang Mei's current situation made him feel...
He couldn't hate it. It seemed that he felt more pity for Zhang Mei now. The love he had given selflessly had brought him wounds that could not be healed. He would never feel that way again, never again.
At the same time, this unhealable trauma made Qiao Liang deeply tired and afraid of relationships and marriage. Subconsciously, he didn't want to mention this and wanted to avoid it. He even wanted to cover up his inner feelings with disrespect.
of this boredom and fear.
How many women can a man love in his life? Is the emotion after falling deeply in love once still considered love? Is it true that the love will be so deep? In countless long and difficult nights, Qiao Liang often thought of this question,
I often fall into unspeakable confusion and sorrow.
Hearing the third child ask this question, Qiao Liang breathed out heavily: "Yes, I am still thinking about Zhang Mei."
The third child was slightly startled.
Qiao Liang continued: "But when I think about her, I just pity her and care about her. I want to take good care of her and hope she can become a normal person. But that feeling will never happen again."
The third child sighed: "I can understand. Tongtong and I also hope that Zhang Mei can get better, but mental problems cannot be cured in one day, or even take a long time... If Zhang Mei can never be cured, what are you going to do?
Take care of her for the rest of her life?"
Qiao Liang felt huge confusion in his heart. He had never thought about this problem, and he didn't want to think about it. From a legal and moral perspective, he had no responsibility for Zhang Mei, but...
Qiao Liang suddenly felt very irritable.
After coming out of Laosan's place, Qiao Liang looked at the sky outside. It was cloudy again.
Clouds rise and fall, clouds roll and relax, why is the weather always so changeable?
If heaven is like this, why shouldn't people be like this?
