There was a man standing straight on the road outside the gate.
Qiao Liang!
Ah, damn you!
The devil is out!
The dead ghost came out of the mountain to see you off!
Lu Qian suddenly felt extremely excited. She lay down in front of the car window, pressed her face tightly against the glass, and stared at Qiao Liang with her eyes wide open.
At this time, Qiao Liang stood there with one hand in his trouser pocket and the other raised, waving slowly at Lu Qian with a seemingly calm and calm smile.
Lu Qian stared at Qiao Liang, and when she saw Qiao Liang smiling, she subconsciously wanted to smile at him, but she couldn't.
As the bus moved, Lu Qian's eyes subconsciously turned in the direction. After the bus passed Qiao Liang, she ran to the last row, lay down on the window and looked back, her eyes firmly fixed on Qiao Liang.
Qiao Liang continued to smile and wave.
Lu Qian continued to be excited and even had the urge to jump out of the bus, but the bus was completely enclosed and the windows could not be opened.
The bus gradually moved away, and Qiao Liang's figure gradually became blurred.
As the bus turned a corner, Qiao Liang disappeared.
Lu Qian stared blankly outside the car for a long time, then lowered her head and covered her face tightly with her hands...
Lu Qian left.
In this way, Lu Qian ended her temporary job in Jiangzhou. With complicated emotions and unspeakable sadness and melancholy, she left Jiangzhou, which was hard to leave but unforgettable.
Watching Lu Qian's bus disappear from sight, Qiao Liang took out a cigarette and lit it, took two deep puffs, and then looked up at the gray sky in the early morning.
In the sky, a group of white doves are soaring...
After seeing off Lu Qian, Qiao Liang returned to the dormitory, packed a few clothes, and then came out. He planned to go back to his hometown to see his parents first, and then go to the base.
As soon as I left the gate of the community, I happened to meet Shao Bingyu who was returning from morning exercise.
"Qiao Liang, did you come back last night?"
Qiao Liang did not answer Shao Bingyu's words, but looked at her: "Lu Qian left today..."
"Yes, she left Jiangzhou today, and the city held a farewell party for her yesterday afternoon." Shao Bingyu blinked, "Are you planning to send Lu Qian off so early..."
Shao Bingyu didn't know that Lu Qian had left Jiangzhou.
"Lv Qian left early this morning, taking a long-distance bus," Qiao Liang said.
"Ah..." Shao Bingyu was a little surprised that Lu Qian left so early, and she didn't even ask the city to send a car to take her away.
Then Shao Bingyu seemed to realize something from Qiao Liang's words. Could it be that Qiao Liang came back last night? After the dinner last night, he met Lu Qian alone and sent Lu Qian away early this morning?
"Qiao Liang, you have to go now..."
"I'm going back to my hometown to see my parents."
Shao Bingyu nodded, so, Qiao Liang came back specifically to see Lu Qian back. If he came back last night, I wonder if he and Lu Qian would...
Shao Bingyu couldn't help but have some random thoughts, and suddenly felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
Seeing that Shao Bingyu was a little uneasy, Qiao Liang said: "How was the farewell party yesterday?"
Shao Bingyu composed himself: "It's okay, it's very grand and lively."
"Are you participating too?"
Shao Bingyu was startled for a moment, and then felt strange. If Qiao Liang had seen Lu Qian last night, then under normal circumstances, Lu Qian would have told him something about this, or at least said that she saw him. Could it be that Qiao Liang didn't see him last night?
Arriving at Lu Qian? He came to see Lu Qian off, why didn't he talk to Lu Qian?
Thinking of this, Shao Bingyu felt a sense of inexplicable comfort in his heart.
How could Shao Bingyu have imagined that Qiao Liang rushed back from the base very early today. Although he saw Lu Qian off, he didn't say a word to Lu Qian.
Shao Bingyu nodded: "Yes, I participated. I even had a few words with Lu Qian during the dinner."
"What did we talk about? Lu Qian didn't quarrel with you, right?" Qiao Liang was a little worried.
Shao Bingyu shook his head: "No, I expressed my best wishes to her on behalf of Xinyi, and she also expressed that she cherishes our friendship."
"That's good." Qiao Liang breathed a sigh of relief.
Shao Bingyu continued: "Lv Qian said something at the end."
"What are you talking about?" Qiao Liang asked with interest.
"She said that no matter whether she is in Jiangzhou or not, she is not allowed to..." Shao Bingyu hesitated, looking a little uncomfortable.
"Nothing is allowed?" Qiao Liang asked.
Shao Bingyu breathed out softly: "We are not allowed to get involved with you."
Qiao Liang smiled bitterly upon hearing this, these words were so in line with Lu Qian's character.
"Then how did you answer?"
"Before I could say anything, she turned around and entered the room."
"Yeah." Qiao Liang nodded, "If it was too late, what would you say?"
"have no idea."
"I really don't know?"
"right."
"Perhaps, this is the best answer." Qiao Liang smiled slightly, nodded to Shao Bingyu, and then left.
Looking at Qiao Liang's leaving figure, Shao Bingyu pursed his lips and frowned slightly...
At 10 o'clock in the morning, Qiao Liang arrived at Qiaojiayu, and her parents were both at home.
Because he did not want to worry the old man, Qiao Liang did not tell his parents that he was transferred to the newspaper office and was assigned to the living base. He also told his sister and brother-in-law, who knew about it, to keep their mouth shut when they returned home. Therefore, her parents were worried about what happened to Qiao Liang recently.
Nothing is known about the matter.
Seeing Qiao Liang's return, her parents were very happy. They were busy mincing meat fillings, making noodles, and making Qiao Liang's favorite mutton dumplings.
The family of three was busy when the courtyard door was pushed open and Liu Yiping came in carrying something.
During holidays or weekends, Liu Yiping would often come home to visit Qiao Liang's parents. This was a habit she developed when she was working in Sanjiang, and she continued to do so after she was transferred to Jiangzhou.
Qiao Liang was always touched by what Liu Yiping did to her.
Seeing Liu Yiping, her parents greeted her warmly. Qiao Liang took the things in Liu Yiping's hands, asked her to sit down, poured her tea, and expressed her thanks.
Liu Yiping smiled, then washed her hands and helped her mother roll out the dough.
There were many people and efficiency was high, so the dumplings were made quickly. My parents went to the kitchen to cook and cook the dumplings. Qiao Liang and Liu Yiping sat in the main room chatting.
"Qiao Liang, your parents don't know about your job change, right?" Liu Yiping whispered.
Qiao Liang nodded: "You can't tell them, lest they worry."
Liu Yiping sighed: "Lu Ping is so bad at what he does. I never thought he would treat you like this."
"Do you think this is just about Lu Ping?" Qiao Liang said.
Liu Yiping understood something immediately and sighed: "The current environment in Jiangzhou is too bad for you. I really hope you can leave Jiangzhou."
"Where can I go after leaving Jiangzhou? Besides, I have worked in Jiangzhou for so many years, why should I leave? Why should I leave?" Qiao Liang asked.
Liu Yiping said quietly: "Actually, with Secretary An's energy, he can..."
"No, don't say that." Qiao Liang interrupted Liu Yiping, "This is my personal matter. Why should I alarm Secretary An? Why should I cause trouble to Secretary An?"
Liu Yiping smiled helplessly: "You have such a stubborn temper... Seeing you suffering in the mountains makes me feel really bad."
"How do you know I'm suffering?" Qiao Liang said.
Liu Yiping blinked: "Isn't it?"
Qiao Liang grinned: "Let me tell you, I am living happily in the mountains now."
"This is impossible." Liu Yiping shook her head.
"Everything is possible." Qiao Liang continued to grin.
Liu Yiping shook her head again and sighed. She would never have thought that Qiao Liang had firmly controlled Lu Ping, and felt that Qiao Liang was just mocking himself.
Seeing that Liu Yiping didn't believe it, Qiao Liang didn't explain that his control over Lu Ping was a top secret and no one could tell it.
Then Qiao Liang changed the subject: "Yiping, how are you doing at work recently?"
"It's not bad." Liu Yiping nodded, "My colleagues in charge of the department are very cooperative with my work. With the foundation you laid, my work is very smooth."
"How did it go with the boss?"
Liu Yiping understood what Qiao Liang meant: "Secretary-General Zhang trusts me, and I have not let him down."
"What about Wen and Liu?"
"They..." Liu Yiping paused, "Because in their eyes, I am Minister Chu's person, and I am very cautious in doing things and have not let them notice anything abnormal, so they naturally trust me.
Yes, sometimes he takes the initiative to come to my office and have a warm chat for a while, and his words reveal his own personality."
"Yes." Qiao Liang nodded with satisfaction, "It is not easy to do this. It is very difficult for ordinary people. However, with the experience and experience you have accumulated in dealing with different people while working in towns, counties, and cities,
, you can still do it. At this point, I want to learn from you."
Liu Yiping felt happy to receive Qiao Liang's affirmation and praise, and smiled: "Actually, you are better than me in many ways, and I should learn from you...Actually, I hope that we can help and learn from each other in the long run..."
Liu Yiping's words seemed to have other meanings.
Qiao Liang nodded: "Your wishes are good, but the reality is cruel. You have a bright career now, and I have an unpredictable future. No one knows what will happen next... Hey, I won't tell you.
This is it, just take it one step at a time and let him live or die..."
Liu Yiping fell silent, sighing in her heart.
After eating dumplings at Qiao Liang's house at noon, Liu Yiping said goodbye. Qiao Liang chatted with her parents for a while before returning to the base.
A week passed in the blink of an eye, and the weekend came again.
Lu Ping came to the office early in the morning. The newspaper's open competition was in full swing recently. In order to fulfill Qiao Liang's request to complete it quickly, he would not rest on weekends.
This week, Lu Ping called Qiao Liang from time to time to report on the progress of the open competition.
In fact, even if Lu Ping didn't report it, Qiao Liang knew it very well, because the deputy director of the base had been participating in the newspaper recruitment competition recently and reported various situations to Qiao Liang at any time.
Qiao Liang was satisfied with the current progress. After listening to Lu Ping's report on the latest progress last night, he gave him a few words of encouragement.
This made Lu Ping feel a little relaxed. Now Qiao Liang was a big mountain on his head, heavier than Luo Fei. As long as he was satisfied with himself, that would be fine.
Lu Ping had just made a cup of tea when the phone rang. He picked up the phone and was about to speak when Luo Fei's voice came from inside: "Secretary Lu, where are you?"
Lu Ping said hurriedly: "Good morning, Mayor Luo, I'm in the office."
"Where is Qiao Liang?" Luo Fei continued.
"He is at his living base in the mountains on weekdays, including weekends."
"Okay, I will set off into the mountains to find Qiao Liang now. You will meet me at the gate of the compound immediately," Luo Fei said.
"Ah -" Lu Ping couldn't help but lost his voice. He was very surprised. Luo Fei wanted to go into the mountain to find Qiao Liang in person. Why did he do this? What happened?
"Ah, what, hurry up and come here." Luo Fei hung up the phone.
Lu Ping didn't have time to think too much, so he hung up the phone, went downstairs, got in the car, and went straight to the compound.
When we arrived at the gate of the compound, Luo Fei's car was waiting there. Luo Fei sat in the car without Huang Jie.
Lu Ping got out of the car and walked over. Luo Fei rolled down the window and simply said: "Get in the car."
Lu Ping hurriedly opened the left rear door and got in. Luo Fei then said to the driver: "Let's go——"
The car started immediately and went straight to the newspaper office's living base.
Lu Ping sat next to Luo Fei and looked at Luo Fei carefully, feeling full of anxiety and confusion.
Luo Fei had no intention of talking to Lu Ping at the moment and stared blankly outside the car.
At this time, Luo Fei was in a state of confusion, with great surprise and surprise. This surprise and surprise made him feel dizzy.
This time Luo Fei suddenly went into the mountains to find Qiao Liang to complete a special mission.
This special task is very important, and it was just given to him by Guan Xinmin on the phone.
This particularly important task is closely related to Qiao Liang.
