At this time, Qiao Liang had already received the car key from the director of the government office. The director had just apologized and said that there were no extra drivers in the office. Qiao Liang then simply said that he could drive and did not need a full-time driver.
He Qingqing stood aside and watched. She knew that the fleet had free drivers, and the 213 assigned to Qiao Liang was an accident car that had been in a car accident. Although it had been repaired, the car was in poor condition and often broke down.
, usually travels short distances around the county seat. The director did this, obviously because he was adhering to Shang Ke's intention to make things difficult for Qiao Liang.
Although He Qingqing felt very unhappy, she did not dare to say anything.
Then Qiao Liang was going to drive to the guest house to take his luggage to the dormitory, and He Qingqing accompanied him.
The two of them went downstairs. Qiao Liang saw that the Land Cruiser was still parked there, pointed at the Land Cruiser and said to He Qingqing: "Which big boss does this car belong to?"
"What a big boss, this is the special car of Mr. Shang County."
"What?" Qiao Liang was taken aback, "For the rank of county magistrate, he obviously exceeded the standard for riding in this car. Isn't this a violation of the regulations?"
He Qingqing pouted: "What? This car was lent to Shangxian County by the mine owner who came to invest. Except for refueling, all expenses are paid by the company."
"Oh, that's against the rules too."
"So what? County Shang. The mayor says everything in the county. If he rides in this car, who dares to raise an opinion?"
"Secretary Ding didn't talk about him?"
"I heard that Secretary Ding tried to persuade him tactfully, but he ignored him at all. In fact, there was no need for Secretary Ding to say this. When the city's main leaders came to inspect, when they saw Mr. Shang County sitting in this car, they all pretended not to care.
See, don’t say anything.”
Qiao Liang couldn't help but frown, "Hey, how could this happen? This is too abnormal."
Then Qiao Liang drove and went to the guest house with He Qingqing to collect their luggage and arrived at the dormitory arranged for Qiao Liang.
The dormitory is located on the hillside behind the office area. There are several rows of brick-and-tile bungalows. The county leaders who do not live in Liangbei live here except Shang Ke who lives in the guest house. There are also some single workers living here.
The dormitory where county leaders live has been specially renovated and equipped with bathrooms and water heaters for bathing. Qiao Liang lives in the last row, Ding Xiaoyun and other female staff live in the front row, and He Qingqing also lives there.
After entering the dormitory, Qiao Liang looked at the room. It was not small in size and was furnished similar to a large bed room in a hotel. The walls were freshly renovated, and the furniture, appliances and even the bedding and curtains were brand new.
He Qingqing told Qiao Liang that when he learned that a temporary deputy county magistrate was coming, he could arrange a special office to prepare the room in advance.
Qiao Liang laughed secretly after hearing this. If Shang Ke had known that the newly appointed deputy county chief had beaten him when he arrived, he would definitely not have arranged it like this.
After putting down their luggage, He Qingqing then told Qiao Liang that there was a cafeteria near the dormitory, and everyone usually ate in the cafeteria.
Qiao Liang nodded, it was convenient to eat like this, as he didn't have to start a meal by himself.
Then He Qingqing left first, and Qiao Liang opened the curtains and opened the window. Outside were towering mountains with dense virgin forests.
Qiao Liang took a deep breath of fresh air and looked at the densely planted mountains. He couldn't help but think about it. The overall natural environment in Liangbei County is so harsh, but there are places with such elegant environments. Is there such a place in the deep mountains and old forests?
What beast?
At this time, someone knocked on the door, Qiao Liang turned around and looked at the door: "Please come in -"
The door opened and Ding Xiaoyun stood at the door.
"Secretary Ding, please come in quickly!" Qiao Liang greeted hurriedly.
Ding Xiaoyun walked in and looked at the room: "Chief Qiao, are you satisfied with the accommodation conditions?"
"Satisfied, beyond my expectation." Qiao Liang said as he asked Ding Xiaoyun to sit down on the sofa, and then sat opposite her.
Ding Xiaoyun chuckled after sitting down: "Your dormitory was arranged by County Chief Shang himself."
Qiao Liang also smiled: "I met with County Shang later. The mayor wanted to express his special thanks."
Ding Xiaoyun sighed: "Even if you thank me, he won't accept your favor."
Qiao Liang smiled bitterly and said: "There's no way to do it. One code is another code, and you still have to thank those who deserve thanks."
Ding Xiaoyun continued: "Is there a specific division of labor arranged?"
Qiao Liang shook his head: "No, the head of Shang County asked me to familiarize myself with the situation in the county first."
Ding Xiaoyun nodded and said nothing.
At this time, Ding Xiaoyun's heart was complicated. After listening to Shang Ke's and Qiao Liang's versions of what happened last night, based on her own analysis and judgment, she was basically certain that what Qiao Liang said was true.
Ordinarily, given Ding Xiaoyun's position, and the status and levels of Shang Ke and Qiao Liang, after she learned about the matter, she would have reported it to the city according to normal procedures, but she thought that if she reported it, there would be no conclusive evidence at present.
Next, I obviously cannot be subjective and must report the version given by the two people truthfully. Once this happens, with Shang Ke's strong background and the love of the main leaders of the city for Shang Ke, the development of the situation is very likely to affect Qiao Liang
Unfortunately, this is not a situation she wants to see. After all, Qiao Liang is the new deputy county magistrate. After all, on this matter, she is on Qiao Liang's side from the bottom of her heart.
But if you don't report it to the superiors, you seem to be suspected of dereliction of duty. Not only will you be dissatisfied with yourself, but even the city leaders will have some opinions about you.
In this way, from last night to now, Ding Xiaoyun has been in a conflict. She neither wants to see Qiao Liang get hit nor offend Shang Ke. At the same time, she is also worried that Qiao Liang and Shang Ke will be in a hostile state when they first come to Liangbei. In the future,
Can the temporary job go smoothly?
At the same time, Ding Xiaoyun also thought of a more serious problem, that is, if Shang Ke told Liu Changxing about the fact that he was beaten by Qiao Liang, what would Liu Changxing think and what would he do?
Seeing that Ding Xiaoyun was a little uneasy, Qiao Liang probably guessed what she was thinking and said: "Secretary Ding, did you report to the superiors what happened to me and the county magistrate last night?"
Ding Xiaoyun shook his head: "Not yet."
"Why don't you report it?"
"Because I feel conflicted and hesitant in my heart."
Qiao Liang smiled: "I can probably guess why you are conflicted and what you are hesitating about."
Ding Xiaoyun also smiled: "You are very smart."
Qiao Liang continued: "Secretary Ding, first, I want to say thank you; second, I think you should not delay this matter any longer, otherwise you will be very passive."
Ding Xiaoyun was silent in thought.
Qiao Liang added: "Secretary Ding, although I am younger than you and have less experience than you, I have experienced several ups and downs within the system. Because of these ups and downs, I don't attach much importance to personal gains and losses now.
."
"Then what is the most important thing to you now?"
"What I value most is justice and integrity. What I value most is whether I can always stay true to my original intention, firm my beliefs, and abide by the basic bottom line of being a human being."
When he said this, Qiao Liang's expression was very serious, with unyielding self-esteem and unyielding determination on his face.
After hearing what Qiao Liang said, Ding Xiaoyun was slightly shocked and couldn't help but look at him with admiration.
Originally, Ding Xiaoyun was still hesitant about whether to report the matter to the superiors, but at this time, because of Qiao Liang's performance, she suddenly felt inspired and strengthened her confidence. After thinking about it for a while, she made some decision.
Decide.
Ding Xiaoyun looked at the time and then stood up: "County Chief Qiao, it's time to get off work at noon. Let's go to dinner now. You can go to my office after work in the afternoon."
Although Qiao Liang couldn't guess what Ding Xiaoyun was going to do, he still nodded.
Qiao Liang followed Ding Xiaoyun to the canteen. There were many people coming to eat, including many county leaders and heads of ministries, commissions and bureaus.
Whenever county leaders and heads of ministries, commissions and bureaus greeted Ding Xiaoyun, Ding Xiaoyun introduced Qiao Liang to them, and they all shook hands with Qiao Liang politely.
Although they were very polite and polite, Qiao Liang clearly felt from their attitudes that they kept a certain distance from him.
Qiao Liang concluded from this that they probably already knew about his fight with Shang Ke last night.
After going to work in the afternoon, Qiao Liang went to Ding Xiaoyun's office.
Ding Xiaoyun's office is on the same floor as Shang Ke's, bounded by stairs, with the commission office on one side and the government office on the other.
Seeing Qiao Liang coming, Ding Xiaoyun nodded to him and motioned for him to sit down on the sofa. Then he picked up the phone and started dialing. After a moment, he said: "County Chief Shang, I am Ding Xiaoyun, and County Chief Qiao is in my office now. I
I want to invite you to come over and let’s talk about what happened between you and Mayor Qiao last night and let’s have a good communication.”
"I'm sorry, Secretary Ding, I'm busy dealing with an important matter right now and I don't have time." Shang Ke said simply.
"Then when will you be able to finish it? When will you be free?" Ding Xiaoyun said patiently.
"I don't know." Shang Ke hung up the phone after saying that.
Ding Xiaoyun looked a little embarrassed. After talking to Qiao Liang at noon, her original plan was that since there were two versions of the matter, since He Qingqing did not dare to say anything because of fear, and since she could not openly side with Qiao Liang,
I wanted to create a harmonious working environment for Qiao Liang as much as possible, so I wanted to call Qiao Liang and Shang Ke together to be a peacemaker and reduce the matter to a minor issue. Even if reconciliation could not be achieved, I would suppress it internally. Unexpectedly, Shang Ke
But I don’t give myself this face at all,
Ding Xiaoyun was very angry, but helpless.
Although Qiao Liang didn't hear what Shang Ke said, he took a guess at Ding Xiaoyun's expression and couldn't help but feel grateful to her. At the same time, he understood her situation and said: "Secretary Ding, don't worry too much about this matter.
"To untie the bell, the person who tied the bell must be tied. When I turn around, I will personally find Magistrate Shang and have a frank and honest conversation with him."
Although Qiao Liang said so, he did not intend to do so. If he wanted to see faster, there was an important reminder in his brother 1291. Since when he saw Shang Ke in the morning, neither of them mentioned it.
It was as if nothing happened between the two of them, and there was no need to do it again. He just wanted to comfort Ding Xiaoyun by saying this now.
Ding Xiaoyun looked at Qiao Liang and hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Then...that's fine."
Then Qiao Liang smiled: "Secretary Ding, don't worry, I will be on good terms with Shang County."
Although he said this, Qiao Liang had no idea at all. He only said this to comfort Ding Xiaoyun.
Ding Xiaoyun forced a smile and said nothing.
"Secretary Ding, please do your work first, I'm leaving." Qiao Liang stood up.
Ding Xiaoyun nodded, looked at Qiao Liang's leaving figure, and fell into deep thought...
Qiao Liang strode outside, feeling a little heavy and confused.
After walking out of the office building, Qiao Liang looked up at the blue sky and bright sunshine outside, and took a deep breath.
At this moment, Qiao Liang didn't know that in this blue sky and bright sunshine, a thick black cloud was silently pressing down on his head...
