Qiao Liang grinned: "Yes, 1 million. There really is 1 million in it. If Mayor Luo doesn't believe it, I'll open it and show it to you."
If Qiao Liang hadn't said this, Luo Fei might still have some doubts, because he couldn't figure out how the 1 million in the lock box disappeared before he had time to ask his brother-in-law.
But since Qiao Liang said this, he naturally didn't believe it. Damn, carrying 1 million to come to work, unless this kid is mentally ill, but at present, he seems to be mentally normal.
Also, from the time the 1 million was placed in Qiao Liang's dormitory, until Qiao Liang was taken away, and until Qiao Liang's dormitory was searched, Qiao Liang never returned to the dormitory at all. No matter where the 1 million went, it could not be in Qiao Liang's dormitory.
in hand.
So, what Qiao Liang said now was just to take the opportunity to play with himself.
Damn it, I'm a great host, how can I be teased by you casually? I can't give him this chance.
"I'm not interested in watching this." Luo Fei snorted, then rolled up the window and drove away.
Seeing that Luo Fei was not playing with him, Qiao Liang laughed silently. Just as he was about to continue walking, someone called him from behind: "Xiao Qiao..."
Qiao Liang looked back and saw Chu Heng walking over slowly with his hands behind his back.
Qiao Liang greeted Chu Heng.
Chu Heng came over and said in a concerned tone: "Xiao Qiao, I heard that something happened to you yesterday. I was very surprised. I was thinking about how to help you. I didn't expect you to come out so soon..."
Qiao Liang secretly scolded Chu Heng for acting, and said with a grateful look: "Thank you, Brother Chu, for caring about me. In fact, this is just a misunderstanding. Now that the misunderstanding is cleared up, I will be fine."
"Okay, it's okay. I'm relieved to know that you came out okay. I feel very relieved and relieved. In fact, based on what I know about you, I definitely don't believe that anything will happen to you." Chu Heng said as he spoke.
Patted Qiao Liang's shoulder.
Qiao Liang laughed.
Then Chu Heng pointed to Qiao Liang's backpack: "Xiao Qiao, why do you carry this on your back to work?"
Qiao Liang smiled again: "I just met Mayor Luo, and he asked me the same question. I said I had 1 million in my bag, and I wanted to open it for Mayor Luo to see, but he didn't believe me. Brother Chu
, do you want to take a look?"
Chu Heng laughed. What Qiao Liang said to Luo Fei just now was obviously to play with him. Since he wanted to play with him, of course there wouldn't be money in the bag, it should be other items. If there was really 1 million in the bag, unless
Qiao Liang is a fool who wants to show it to Luo Fei. Since Luo Fei won't be fooled by Qiao Liang, he naturally doesn't need to watch it.
So Chu Heng smiled and shook his head, and said smartly: "I think the coat in the bag should be the coat you changed when you came back from a business trip. You plan to take it for dry cleaning after get off work."
Qiao Liang gave Chu Heng a thumbs up: "Brother Chu, you are a master of calculation."
Chu Heng secretly laughed, Damn, what kind of calculation is this? You can guess this with just a little thought.
Then the two of them walked and talked, and Chu Heng said: "Actually, I was a little surprised that Lao An didn't make new arrangements for your work before he was transferred this time."
Qiao Liang said calmly: "Why is Brother Chu so surprised?"
Chu Heng said calmly: "Because generally speaking, as a rule, as Lao An's position, after he is transferred, he will not let his secretary stay in the original unit, and will make appropriate arrangements."
Qiao Liang sensed from Chu Heng's words that he meant to sow discord between herself and An Zhe, and secretly cursed the old man as a bastard.
For Chu Heng, Qiao Liang had always been burning with hatred in her heart, and she never gave up the idea of killing him, but she never found the opportunity.
Qiao Liang then smiled lightly: "I actually understand this. First, the transfer order came too suddenly, and Secretary An left in such a hurry. How could he have time to make new arrangements for me? Second, my current position
It’s pretty good, I’m quite satisfied with it myself.”
"That's true." Chu Heng smiled dryly, "Xiao Qiao, I said this purely out of concern for you, but I didn't have any intention of driving a wedge between you and Lao An."
Qiao Liang scolded Chu Heng for being cunning in his heart and said with a smile: "Brother Chu, of course I know that you love and protect me. Why do you think so?"
"That's good." Chu Heng smiled again, "I heard that after Lao An left, the departments you were in charge of increased. You will still be in charge of the secretary department. Keiko will help in the first department. She belongs to your sister Hong.
Cousin, you should take more care of me in the future."
Qiao Liang's heart moved, and then nodded: "Don't worry about this, I know it well."
Chu Heng then sighed: "Well, when I think of Huizi, I can't help but think of you, Sister Hong..."
"Is there any news about Sister Hong now?" Qiao Liang asked with a concerned look.
Chu Heng shook his head: "No, I didn't expect that she would hold a grudge against me after the quarrel this time. She has never contacted me for so long. I tried every means to find out her whereabouts, but there was no news."
Qiao Liang secretly laughed, Damn, Ji Hong has already gone to that country on the other side of the ocean, which is beyond the scope of your ability. You are asking for nothing.
Qiao Liang also sighed: "Oh, actually I miss Sister Hong very much."
Qiao Liang's words were somewhat true. Ever since he had that kind of relationship with Ji Hong, he couldn't help but feel a little more concerned. But thinking that Ji Hong was safe and stable now, he felt a little more at ease.
Chu Heng continued: "Although you, Sister Hong, are angry with me and don't contact me, you may not stop contacting other people."
"Brother Chu means..." Qiao Liang pretended not to understand and looked at Chu Heng.
Chu Heng further prompted: "Sister Hong and Keiko have always had a close relationship..."
"Oh..." Qiao Liang suddenly realized, "I understand. When I have a chance later, I will find a way to test Zhong Huizi. Maybe it can really be done..."
Chu Heng smiled slightly: "Yes, Huizi was your former class teacher in the Qingqian class, and now he is your direct subordinate. You have this convenient condition."
"Yeah, I understand." Qiao Liang nodded with a smile, but had other plans in mind...
After breaking up with Chu Heng, Qiao Liang went straight to the commission office and met Xu Honggang downstairs.
Seeing Qiao Liang at this time, Xu Honggang felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. This feeling included disappointment and loss, but also uneasiness and guilt.
This disappointment, loss, uneasiness and guilt are the concentrated reflections of Xu Honggang's inner conflict at this time.
Qiao Liang and Xu Honggang said hello, and Xu Honggang patted Qiao Liang's shoulder with a relieved tone: "Xiao Qiao, it's okay, I'm relieved..."
Qiao Liang had no doubts about Xu Honggang's performance at this time. He had no idea that Xu Honggang had a complicated attitude towards him at this time.
Qiao Liang then expressed his thanks, and the two of them immediately went upstairs to their respective offices.
Qiao Liang entered the office, and just as he put down his travel bag, Zhang Haitao came in.
"Secretary-General, please take a seat -" Qiao Liang greeted Zhang Haitao.
Zhang Haitao did not sit down immediately, but patted Qiao Liang's shoulder heavily: "Brother, it was a false alarm, a near miss, a narrow escape..."
Qiao Liang couldn't help but take a deep breath, and then smiled.
"Have you figured out anything about this matter?" Zhang Haitao then sat on the sofa and lit a cigarette.
Qiao Liang sat opposite Zhang Haitao, lit a cigarette, and then said: "Secretary-General, I am not a stupid person. I will definitely think about this matter. As for Daodao... I am not sure now. I wonder if the Secretary-General has felt anything."
?”
Zhang Haitao didn't speak for a while. He took a deep breath from the cigarette, then exhaled a cloud of green smoke. Looking at the smoke spreading in front of him, he slowly said: "Actually, you have turned the corner now. Whether you can figure out how to make a living is not the most important thing.
As for how I feel, it’s also not important..."
"Then what is the most important thing?" Qiao Liang said.
"You know." Zhang Haitao said meaningfully.
Qiao Liang pondered the meaning of Zhang Haitao's words, and for a moment he seemed to understand.
Zhang Haitao continued: "Brother, when you are working within the system, you must keep in mind one sentence: the more power-playing superiors do, the better they are at talking about benevolence, justice and morality."
Zhang Haitao's words moved Qiao Liang's heart. He couldn't help but think of what Luo Fei said last night before and after the box of money turned into books.
Zhang Haitao continued: "Actually, as subordinates, many people will take it for granted that a superior who plays power games will have a dark psychology, will be calculating, and will be harsh and strict. In fact, this is a low-level power play. The superiors who can really play power games are just like
When I read the Analects of Confucius, I always pay attention to persuading people with virtue..."
Thinking about Zhang Haitao's words, Qiao Liang felt that Luo Fei seemed to be somewhere in between, neither low-level nor proficient.
Qiao Liang thought for a while and asked: "Secretary-General, what do you think is the benefit of doing this to a Machiavellian superior?"
Zhang Haitao smiled: "Wearing benevolence, righteousness and morality as a cloak can easily make subordinates feel safe. It is difficult for a leader with a dark psychology not to be defended in advance. If a leader is defended by subordinates, it will be difficult for him to obtain benefits at a low cost.
.
At the same time, using benevolence and morality as the slogan can obscure the interests of most subordinates. Everyone is in the system and is a collection of interests. If a conflict of interests occurs, it will cause serious internal friction in the organization and damage the interests of the leaders. Therefore,
In order to prevent everyone from only focusing on interests, we must use benevolence, justice and morality as the slogan, so that everyone can focus on their future, self-realization, etc..."
Qiao Liang couldn't help but nod.
Zhang Haitao added: "Also, using benevolence and morality as a means can leave a relatively wide operating space for power. Who to promote and how to allocate power. If based on other standards, the real leader may not be the person he likes, but the one he likes.
Taking benevolence, righteousness and morality as the standard is worth pondering, because no one can find any reason to object to this standard, and there is no specific leverage, it all depends on the subjective understanding of the superior..."
Qiao Liang admired Zhang Haitao's words very much. This guy really had something in his stomach. If he instilled it in himself a little, he would benefit a lot.
"Secretary-General, thank you for your advice!" Qiao Liang raised his hand to Zhang Haitao.
Zhang Haitao smiled: "Brother, I just told you this for one purpose -"
Qiao Liang looked at Zhang Haitao intently.
Zhang Haitao said slowly: "Learn to adapt to the new situation that changes at any time, see people clearly, identify people, insist on what you should insist on, be flexible on what you should be flexible on, be vigilant, and defend yourself!"
Zhang Haitao's words made Qiao Liang's heart tremble.
Zhang Haitao patted Qiao Liang on the shoulder: "Brother, life is about passing a level. After passing this level, there will be another level. As long as you want to make progress and struggle, this level will never end. So, straighten your back and look forward. , Correct your mentality, strengthen your will, don't be afraid, don't panic... Let's go, keep going, don't hesitate, don't hesitate, and don't look back. Maybe as you walk, you will see the brilliant morning glow in front of you, of course. , before you can see the morning glow, you may have to experience a cold and uncomfortable dark night..."
After saying that, Zhang Haitao stood up and walked away with his hands behind his back.
Qiao Liang carefully savored the words Zhang Haitao said today. It seemed that in addition to teaching and encouraging herself, he was also reminding and hinting at something.
Qiao Liang looked up at the warm spring outside the window, frowning, thinking...
