After breakfast the next day, Qiao Liang took a walk in front of the building and waited for Ding Xiaoyun. The other two temporary staff were picked up by the top leaders of their respective counties early in the morning.
At almost 10 o'clock, a dark-colored used 213 off-road vehicle drove into the yard and stopped in front of the building, and then Ding Xiaoyun got out of the car.
Qiao Liang stepped forward and said, "Secretary Ding, have you finished the work?"
Ding Xiaoyun nodded: "Qiao County. We've been waiting for a long time. Let's set off now."
Qiao Liang then went to the room to get his luggage and put it in the trunk.
Ding Xiaoyun opened the rear door and said, "Chief Qiao, let's sit in the back together."
"Okay." Qiao Liang then got into the car with Ding Xiaoyun, and Ding Xiaoyun said to the driver, "Go back to the county."
The driver nodded, then turned the car around and drove out of the hotel.
Sitting in the car, Qiao Liang asked Ding Xiaoyun: "Secretary Ding, is this your special car?"
"Yes." Ding Xiaoyun nodded.
"Haha, this is the first time I've seen a county leader not riding in a car." Qiao Liang said with a smile.
Ding Xiaoyun smiled: "The terrain in Liangbei is complicated, and it is convenient to go to the countryside cross-country."
"Then what kind of cars are the other county leaders riding in?"
"They are also all off-road. In fact, not only the county leaders, but also the work vehicles of the two county offices are all 213s like the one I ride in."
"Oh, unified purchasing?"
Ding Xiaoyun shook his head: "With Liangbei's financial strength, how can we afford so many such cars?"
"That's..." Qiao Liang looked at Ding Xiaoyun.
"Actually, when I talk about this, I have to thank you, an entrepreneur from Jiangzhou City, Jiangdong Province."
"Huh?" Qiao Liang became more excited after hearing this, "Secretary Ding, what's going on?"
Ding Xiaoyun said: "I came to Liangbei relatively late. I heard from comrades in the county that about two years ago, the chairman of a large enterprise in Jiangzhou came to Liangbei for an inspection. During the inspection, he saw the transportation vehicles of the county leaders.
They were very worn out and not conducive to work, so we purchased 20 213s at one time and donated them to the county, which greatly improved the transportation conditions of the county offices."
"A big company in Jiangzhou?" Qiao Liang asked with interest, "Which one?"
Ding Xiaoyun thought for a moment: "Chint Group."
"Ah -" Qiao Liang couldn't help but lost his voice. Chint Group, the chairman of Chint Group more than 2 years ago was Fang Zhengtai. At that time, he had not been killed and passed away. Unexpectedly, Fang Zhengtai came to Liangbei for inspection and donated money to the county.
20 off-road vehicles.
This unexpected news made Qiao Liang unable to recover for a while.
Seeing Qiao Liang's expression, Ding Xiaoyun said: "County Chief Qiao, you are from Jiangzhou, so you should be familiar with Chint Group, right?"
Qiao Liang nodded blankly.
"How is the chairman of the group doing now?" Ding Xiaoyun then asked.
Qiao Liang's eyes dimmed: "He had already passed away due to a man-made car accident."
"Ah——" Ding Xiaoyun was startled, "A car accident happened? What happened?"
Qiao Liang then briefly told Ding Xiaoyun the story of Fang Zhengtai's murder and the resulting turmoil in Jiangzhou's officialdom.
After hearing this, Ding Xiaoyun looked heavy and sighed.
Qiao Liang was silent for a moment, then asked Ding Xiaoyun: "Secretary Ding, what project did Chairman Fang come to Liangbei to inspect that time?"
Ding Xiaoyun said: "According to what I learned after coming to Liangbei, Chairman Fang came to Liangbei to inspect pastoral areas. He had the idea of launching a large-scale beef and mutton product processing plant, but considering the lack of stable and long-lasting supply sources,
, so Chairman Fang’s initial idea at that time was to invest in Liangbei to support herdsmen to vigorously develop animal husbandry and turn Liangbei into the group’s breeding base, which would not only benefit the group’s development, but also help the pastoral areas get rid of poverty as soon as possible... At that time, it was just
The investigation of intentionality was not determined, and later there was no further information. Therefore, it should be related to the sudden murder of Chairman Fang..."
Qiao Liang nodded. Since this was just Fang Zhengtai's initial thought at that time, after he was suddenly killed and Fang Xiaoya took over the group, he may not have known about it. Not only Fang Xiaoya, but also Li Youwei may not have known about it.
Qiao Liang couldn't help but sigh, the world is big, but also small. He never expected that Liangbei, where he came to work as a temporary employee, would have such an intersection with Chint Group.
At this time, the car had left the urban area of Xizhou and was speeding north on the Gobi Highway.
Qiao Liang looked at the endless desolate Gobi outside the car. He was silent for a moment, then turned to look at Ding Xiaoyun: "Secretary Ding, how long have you been working in Liangbei?"
"It's been more than three months." Ding Xiaoyun said.
After more than three months, Qiao Liang thought about it and concluded that Ding Xiaoyun should have arrived in Liangbei before Liao Gufeng came to take charge of the northwest.
"What about your ex?"
"My predecessor is now the deputy mayor of Xizhou City."
"It's not easy. The top leader of a small county can be directly promoted to deputy director in one step."
Ding Xiaoyun smiled: "Although Liangbei is a small county, its level is the same as other counties."
"So, your predecessor must have done an outstanding job in Liangbei, so he was promoted."
"Haha..." Ding Xiaoyun smiled but said nothing.
Qiao Liang looked at Ding Xiaoyun and blinked, then said: "Secretary Ding, where did you work before coming to Liangbei?"
"I am the director of the Municipal Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Bureau."
After hearing this, Qiao Liang couldn't help but look at Ding Xiaoyun with admiration. This woman had served as the head of an important municipal department and should not be underestimated.
Then Ding Xiaoyun said: "Chief Qiao, while I'm on my way, let me introduce you to the basic situation of Liangbei first."
Qiao Liang nodded.
Then Ding Xiaoyun began to introduce.
Liangbei County is located in the northwest end of Northwest Province and is known as the North of Northwest. The county seat is more than 600 kilometers away from Xizhou and is connected by a county road. The county spans the north and south sides of the western end of the Hexi Corridor, with a total area of 70,000 square kilometers and jurisdiction over 6 counties.
The total population of villages and towns is 80,000, and the urban population is more than 9,000. Most of the others are herders.
Due to the complex geographical environment, the natural environment between the north and the south of Liangbei County is very different. In the south, there is a large area of gravel Gobi, with poor living conditions. In the north, there are continuous snow-capped mountains. The highest peak in Northwest Province is located among the snow-capped mountains. Because there are abundant
The snow-capped mountains melt water, and at the foot of the snow-capped mountains is a large area of grassland with a total area of nearly 50 million acres, which is suitable for the development of animal husbandry.
The melted water from the snow-capped mountains accumulates to form the Liangshui River. Most human settlements in the county are located on both sides of the Liangshui River. Liangbei County is also located in the valley beside the Liangshui River, with the Liangshui River passing through the city.
After listening to Ding Xiaoyun's brief introduction, Qiao Liang couldn't help but sigh. There are only 80,000 people in a county of 70,000 square kilometers. It is too vast and too sparsely populated. The population of this county is about the same as that of a large town in the east.
After thinking for a moment, Qiao Liang asked Ding Xiaoyun again: "Secretary Ding, what specific area will I be in charge of when I arrive in Liangbei?"
Ding Xiaoyun said: "You came to Liangbei to serve as deputy county magistrate. The specific area in charge will be decided by the county government party group meeting."
Qiao Liang nodded, Ding Xiaoyun's answer was reasonable.
In fact, Qiao Liang knew that the so-called county government party group meeting decision was the county magistrate's decision.
"Secretary Ding, what do you call the chief of Liangbei County?"
"My surname is Shang, my name is Ke, and I am from Shang County. I am very young, one year younger than you."
"Oh?" Qiao Liang's eyes lit up. It turns out that the Liangbei County Chief is not even old enough. Damn it, it looks like this guy is young and promising.
Although they haven't met him yet, Qiao Liang couldn't help but have a strong interest in the mayor of Shang County.
After nearly 10 hours of long journey, we finally arrived at Liangbei County at 7:30 pm.
It was still bright at this time.
Ding Xiaoyun asked the driver to park the car at a high place outside the county town, and called Qiao Liang to get out of the car: "Chief Qiao, let's take a look at the whole county town first."
Qiao Liang stood on a high place and overlooked Liangbei County. The county is located in a valley between two mountains. A small river spreads along the valley. There are two roads on both sides of the river, and there are scattered roads on both sides of the road.
There are some low-rise buildings and bungalows, and a few bridges connecting the two sides of the river. There are sparse vehicles and pedestrians on the roads and bridges.
This is Liangbei County, and this is where he will work for two years. Qiao Liang looked at this small strip of county, then looked up at the towering mountains on both sides of the county, and the white snow on the top of the mountains, and couldn't help but nod.
"Let's go into the city and have dinner at the guest house." Ding Xiaoyun asked Qiao Liang to get in the car, "You will stay in the guest house for one night first, and we will arrange a dormitory for you tomorrow."
Qiao Liang nodded in agreement and asked Ding Xiaoyun: "Where do all the county leaders live?"
"Except for the county chief, Monk, who lives locally, other county leaders, including me, all live in single dormitories behind the office area in the county compound."
"Shang County. Where will you live?"
"guest House."
Qiao Liang blinked. This young mayor of Shang County seemed to be a bit special.
After the car entered the city, we quickly arrived at the guest house. The guest house was not big, a two-story building with a restaurant in front of the building.
After settling into the room, Ding Xiaoyun, Qiao Liang and the driver went to the restaurant to have dinner together.
The food was not sumptuous, but it looked very appetizing. On the way here, at noon, Qiao Liang, Ding Xiaoyun and the driver ate some bread with boiled water, and they were really hungry.
"County Chief Qiao, the food conditions in the county are limited, so you will be wronged." Ding Xiaoyun apologized.
"Haha, Secretary Ding is being polite. I'm not a guest. Come on, let's eat." Qiao Liang said with a smile.
"Would you like some wine?"
Qiao Liang shook his head: "No."
After hearing what Qiao Liang said, Ding Xiaoyun stopped being polite and everyone ate together.
After dinner, Ding Xiaoyun asked Qiao Liang to rest early, then said goodbye and left.
Qiao Liang walked out of the guest house and walked around the county town. He looked with great interest at the people in this remote corner of the northwest, as well as the camels and sheep passing by on the road from time to time. He felt novel and fresh.
After walking for a long time, Qiao Liang returned to the guest house. He had traveled more than 600 kilometers today and was a little tired. He planned to take a shower and go to bed.
After entering the building, Qiao Liang walked along the corridor. The room he lived in was at the end of the corridor.
When passing a room, Qiao Liang suddenly heard a strange sound coming from inside.
Qiao Liang couldn't help but stop and listen.
"Don't... don't..." A woman struggled anxiously, mixed with the man's heavy breathing.
"Ah——" Another woman's scream came from inside, followed by a pleading voice, "Please, no, no..."
"Don't move!" followed by a man's rude and overbearing voice.
Qiao Liang suddenly had blood rushing to his head. Damn it, someone dared to do such a thing in a dignified county guest house. How audacious and audacious!
Without thinking, Qiao Liang took a step back, then raised his foot and kicked the door with all his strength——
With a "bang", the door was kicked open by Qiao Liang. Qiao Liang rushed in and saw that it was an inner and outer closet. On the sofa in the outer room, a woman was being pressed firmly by a man. The man's
The hands were ruthlessly tearing at the woman's clothes, and the woman was struggling desperately.
Seeing this scene, Qiao Liang was furious and shouted: "Stop-"
Hearing the huge noise and Qiao Liang's loud shout, the man was startled, stopped and turned around.
This is a man with a crew cut about the same age and build as Qiao Liang. His face is red at the moment and he smells of alcohol.
Seeing Qiao Liang, the man didn't show any fear. Instead, he felt angry because Qiao Liang had ruined his good deeds. He stared at Qiao Liang with cold eyes and cursed angrily: "Asshole, who let you in?
I get out of here——"
While cursing the man, he picked up the glass ashtray on the coffee table and threw it at Qiao Liang. Qiao Liang's head flashed quickly, and the ashtray whizzed past Qiao Liang's ears, and then fell to the cement floor outside the door.
On top, it broke into pieces.
Qiao Liang couldn't help but break into a cold sweat and became paralyzed. If he had reacted slower, the ashtray would have hit his head, which would definitely have caused a bloody head.
Immediately, Qiao Liang felt extremely angry. Not only did this bastard bully a weak woman unscrupulously in the county guest house, he also dared to hit Deputy County Chief Qiao. He was so arrogant and arrogant.
In strong anger, Qiao Liang took action decisively, hitting the man's head with a right hook, and then kicked him hard in the chest——
At this time, Qiao Liang had no idea about the identity of the man he beat so violently.
At this time, Qiao Liang did not know that he had caused a big disaster as soon as he arrived in Liangbei.
At this time, Qiao Liang also had no idea that his act of indignation would cause tremors in the northwest officialdom.
