Shang Ke then laughed dryly: "Deputy County Magistrate Qiao, it seems that not only are you very skilled, but you are also somewhat lucky."
Qiao Liang nodded: "Yes, I am a blessed person with great fortune and good fortune. During my career experience over the years, luck seems to have always been with me."
Shang Ke said: "You have been lucky in the past, so do you think it will always be like this in the future?"
Qiao Liang shook his head: "This is hard to say. Although I hope so, the reality is cruel and ruthless."
"It seems that Deputy County Magistrate Qiao is still very clear-headed when facing reality." Shang Ke said with something in mind.
"Yes, I must be clear-headed." Qiao Liang nodded and continued, "Is County Magistrate Shang clear-headed when facing reality?"
Shang Ke simply said: "Of course I am awake, I will stay awake at all times."
Qiao Liang nodded: "So, County Magistrate Shang, what do you think is the sober reality that you and I need to face now?"
Shang Ke didn't expect Qiao Liang to say this. He was slightly startled, and then a sarcastic smile appeared on his lips: "Deputy County Magistrate Qiao, it seems that I should be the one to ask you this question."
"Why should you ask me first? Is it because you are my superior? Or is it because of some other factors?" Qiao Liang said calmly.
"This..." Shang Ke didn't know how to answer for a moment. He found that during his conversations with Qiao Liang, he often fell into passivity without realizing it, and was often led into some misunderstandings by Qiao Liang.
This made Shang Ke feel very unhappy, but he had to admit that Qiao Liang's thinking was indeed quick and his words were indeed slippery.
Shang Ke thought for a moment and decided to change the topic: "Deputy County Magistrate Qiao, it is very boring to argue about this issue... Recently you have been familiar with the situation down there, so you must have gained something, right?"
"Yes, it's very rewarding." Qiao Liang nodded.
"What are the gains? Let's talk about it?" Shang Ke said.
"I've gained so much that I can't explain it in a sentence or two. When I go back and look around the whole county, I'm almost familiar with the situation, so I'll make a special report and submit it to County Magistrate Shang." Qiao Liang said.
"That's fine." Shang Ke nodded, "This morning, when Director He came to my office to report to me, I heard her say that when you were wandering around that village yesterday, you went to the mining area..."
"Oh, Director He gave you a work report?" Qiao Liang looked surprised.
"Yes, Director He took the initiative to report to me." Shang Ke nodded, with a faint smile on his lips.
Qiao Liang frowned slightly: "Does Director He often report to you on my travels?"
"Yes." Shang Ke nodded, and then added, "Of course, this is her responsibility."
Qiao Liang felt that Shang Ke's words meant to provoke a relationship between him and He Qingqing, and nodded: "Yes, I went to the mining area yesterday, but I was stopped before I entered. No one can go in without your permission, which confuses me."
"Deputy County Magistrate Qiao, don't be confused, this is what I have stipulated." Shang Keli said.
"Why does County Magistrate Shang have such a rule?" Qiao Liang looked puzzled.
Shang Kedao: "Because this iron ore is a large project that I personally introduced, it is of great significance to promoting the economic development of Liangbei and increasing fiscal revenue. In order to avoid the phenomenon of "taking and getting stuck" encountered by previous investors in Liangbei, in order to To prevent bulls from blindly directing and interfering, in order to create a good operating atmosphere for investors, I have made this provision."
"Oh, so that's it." Qiao Liang said as if he suddenly realized something.
"Yes." Shang Ke smiled slightly, "Deputy County Magistrate Qiao understands now?"
"Understood!" Qiao Liang nodded, "If you had told me this earlier, if you had known so, I wouldn't have had to be rejected yesterday."
"It's not too late to know now." Shang Ke said.
"Yeah, yeah, it's not too late, not too late." Qiao Liang said happily, "Okay, now that I know it, I won't go to that mining area if it's not necessary in the future."
Shang Ke heard that Qiao Liang added a premise to his words, and frowned: "Deputy County Magistrate Qiao, why do you think it will be necessary to go to that mining area in the future?"
"Of course it's necessary for work." Qiao Liang grinned.
"What is considered a work requirement?" Shang Ke asked again.
"The needs of the work are naturally to maintain the overall situation and safeguard the overall interests of the county without violating the relevant spirit of the superiors." Qiao Liang said seriously.
Shang Ke's face darkened and he looked at Qiao Liang coldly, he was trying to trick him.
Qiao Liang continued: "What? Does County Magistrate Shang think I am wrong to say this?"
Of course, Shang Ke couldn't find anything wrong with Qiao Liang's words, so he smiled dryly: "Yes, yes."
"Since County Magistrate Shang is right, I'm relieved." Qiao Liang chuckled.
Shang Ke felt a little embarrassed at this time. He came to see Qiao Liang today just in name. He mainly wanted to test and warn Qiao Liang and ask him not to get involved in the iron ore. He didn't expect Qiao Liang to give him such ambiguity. manner.
This made Shang Ke feel a little unsure for a moment, and he couldn't figure out what Qiao Liang was thinking.
As if he guessed what Shang Ke was thinking at this time, Qiao Liang continued: "Of course, even if it is necessary for work, I will report it to County Magistrate Shang according to the relevant procedures."
Qiao Liang's words made Shang Ke feel a little reassured. He nodded and continued: "Yes, reporting is necessary, and it must be reported first."
"Haha..." Qiao Liang laughed, neither nodding nor shaking his head, and suddenly pointed at the flowers on the bedside table, "Mr. Shang, look at how beautiful these flowers are. You can buy such beautiful flowers in our county. Flowers, it’s not easy, isn’t it?”
"Well, yes, it's not easy." Shang Ke felt a little dizzy and nodded subconsciously.
"County Magistrate Shang, you are very busy at work, and I am really uneasy if I continue to waste your precious time," Qiao Liang said.
Shang Ke could tell that Qiao Liang's words meant that he was expelling guests. He took a deep breath and stood up: "Okay, Deputy County Magistrate Qiao, take good care of your injuries. I'll leave first."
"Okay, my legs and feet are inconvenient, so I won't get out of bed to see Magistrate Shang off. Thank you again!" Qiao Liang said.
Shang Ke frowned and glanced at Qiao Liang, turned around and left.
Watching Shang Ke leave, Qiao Liang showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth. At this time, he felt that although Shang Ke was about the same age as himself, and although Shang Ke had a higher position than himself, compared with him, he seemed to be a little younger. If Shang Ke doesn't have that strong background. In front of him, he is nothing.
Of course, once Shang Ke has such a strong backer, he will not only be a fart now, but also a very big and awesome fart.
In this way, you cannot underestimate him in the slightest. When dealing with him, you must be cautious enough and maintain a high degree of alertness and vigilance.
Although he now has He Qingqing joining him, he may not be fighting alone in the future, but compared to Shang Ke, the strength of himself and He Qingqing is still much smaller and weaker.
In this way, the mentality that I should uphold now should be: strategically despise the opponent, but tactically, we must attach great importance to it.
Not long after He Qingqing returned to the office, she received a call from Ding Xiaoyun, asking her to come to her office.
Since Ding Xiaoyun took office in Liangbei, He Qingqing has never had the opportunity to go to her office. This is the first time.
He Qingqing didn't know what Ding Xiaoyun wanted from her, so she went there feeling uneasy.
Entering Ding Xiaoyun's office, she was sitting on the sofa reading documents. Seeing He Qingqing come in, she smiled slightly, then put down the documents and asked her to come and sit down. He Qingqing sat on the sofa opposite Ding Xiaoyun with a respectful expression. Looking at Ding Xiaoyun.
"Director He, you have been following County Magistrate Qiao during this period, right?" Ding Xiaoyun said calmly.
He Qingqing nodded: "Yes, Secretary Ding, according to the arrangement of County Magistrate Shang, Magistrate Qiao is mainly familiar with the situation in the county during this period. The director arranged for me to accompany Magistrate Qiao."
Ding Xiaoyun nodded: "Where did you go yesterday?"
"Yesterday I accompanied County Magistrate Qiao to visit some villages and herdsmen settlements in the township below..." He Qingqing paused and continued, "Also, County Magistrate Qiao also wanted to visit the iron mines, but he didn't go in. I was stopped outside."
"Iron mine..." Ding Xiaoyun's eyelids twitched, "When are you going to the iron mine?"
He Qingqing then told Ding Xiaoyun.
Ding Xiaoyun then asked: "Then when did County Magistrate Qiao receive the date for the county magistrate's office meeting today?"
"Not long after County Magistrate Qiao and I left the iron mine," He Qingqing said.
Ding Xiaoyun's eyelids twitched again, and then he thought deeply.
Seeing that Ding Xiaoyun was deep in thought and silent, He Qingqing thought for a moment and then said: "Secretary Ding, I only found out about the notice of today's office meeting after going to work today. The office only found out about the notice of today's office meeting after work yesterday and notified the deputy county magistrates." ."
Ding Xiaoyun raised his eyes and looked at He Qingqing, was silent for a moment, and nodded: "Okay, I understand."
Looking at Ding Xiaoyun's expression, He Qingqing seemed to feel that she had realized something.
Then Ding Xiaoyun said: "Director He, during the time you have been following County Magistrate Qiao, what do you think of County Magistrate Qiao?"
Hearing that Ding Xiaoyun's question was relatively general, He Qingqing could not guess Ding Xiaoyun's intention and said cautiously: "As a subordinate, I am not qualified to evaluate County Magistrate Qiao's work, but as for County Magistrate Qiao's character, I admire him very much, and at the same time, I am deeply grateful to County Magistrate Qiao for risking his life to save him last night."
"Director He, are you grateful to County Magistrate Qiao just because she saved you last night?" Ding Xiaoyun said with a half-smile.
"This..." The expression on He Qingqing's face was very complicated for a moment. She obviously understood what Ding Xiaoyun meant when he asked her, and she obviously realized that she did not believe the version Shang Ke told about Qiao Liang's violent beating. of.
He Qingqing couldn't help but show uneasiness, guilt, and a bit of embarrassment on her face.
Ding Xiaoyun didn't want to embarrass He Qingqing and said: "Director He, since you admire County Magistrate Qiao as a person and are grateful for his rescue, then I think you should have some thoughts of your own while accompanying County Magistrate Qiao to familiarize yourself with the situation. Bar?"
"Yes." He Qingqing nodded.
"Tell me about it," Ding Xiaoyun said.
He Qingqing said: "Secretary Ding, my idea is to do what my subordinates should do with due diligence and help County Magistrate Qiao become familiar with the situation in the county as soon as possible."
"Apart from these, is there anything else?" Ding Xiaoyun looked at He Qingqing.
He Qingqing thought for a moment: "The other thing is to take County Magistrate Qiao as an example, learn from him, learn from his excellent work style and noble qualities, adhere to justice and integrity, of course, even outside of work, County Qiao If there is anything you need me to do, I will do my best."
"Outside of work..." Ding Xiaoyun repeated, looking at He Qingqing, "Director He, what do you think County Magistrate Qiao needs you to do outside of work?"
"I don't know about this. It doesn't seem to exist at the moment, but there may be in the future." He Qingqing said vaguely.
Ding Xiaoyun thought for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, Director He, our conversation today is over... By the way, I don't want other unrelated people to know about our conversation today."
He Qingqing stood up: "Secretary Ding, don't worry, I won't tell anyone."
Ding Xiaoyun smiled slightly.
From the conversation between Ding Xiaoyun and herself today, He Qingqing seemed to feel something, but she couldn't be sure. Although they were both women, Ding Xiaoyun was the big leader after all, so he couldn't easily guess her thoughts.
After He Qingqing left, Ding Xiaoyun fell into deep thought...
