Qiao Liang's mind turned quickly, and then he stood up with a wine glass in his hand: "Secretary Guan, let me propose a glass of wine to you alone."
"Why does Comrade Qiao Liang want to toast me alone? Is there anything to say about this glass of wine?" Guan Xinmin said calmly.
"Yes, Secretary Guan is a great leader that I respect and admire. I would like to use this glass of wine to express my deep gratitude to Secretary Guan from the bottom of my heart!" Qiao Liang said.
To others, it sounded like Qiao Liang was grateful to Guan Xinmin for the compliment he had just received, but Guan Xinmin understood the true meaning of Qiao Liang's gratitude.
Not only Guan Xinmin understood it, An Zhe also understood it, and Luo Fei also somewhat understood the meaning.
Guan Xinmin didn't say anything. He picked up the wine glass and touched it lightly with Qiao Liang. Qiao Liang continued to drink. Guan Xinmin took a sip and then put down the wine glass.
This is the first time tonight that Guan Xinmin clinks glasses and fails to drink them down.
Every small move by a big shot has connotation. Guan Xinmin's seemingly casual move seemed to mean that although he accepted Qiao Liang's gratitude, he still felt a little uncomfortable with his refusal to be his secretary.
Seeing Guan Xinmin doing this, Qiao Liang seemed to have guessed something, and snickered in his heart, "It's useless if you don't feel happy. You are excluding my boss from re-appointing Luo Fei, why should I be your secretary? I would rather give up this beautiful future than violate it."
The loyalty and principles of being a human being.
Liu Changxing also noticed Guan Xinmin's subtle behavior and couldn't help but wonder, Hey, why didn't Guan Xinmin do it? Did he think Qiao Liang was too low-level to let him do it? Or did it mean something else?
Liu Changxing blinked, looked at Qiao Liang, and then at Guan Xinmin.
Guan Xinmin looked at Liu Changxing and smiled slightly: "Minister Liu, come, let's have a drink alone."
"Okay." Liu Changxing raised his glass, "I would like to toast Secretary Guan with this glass of wine. I welcome Secretary Guan to come to the Northwest often in the future."
Guan Xinmin clinked their glasses with Liu Changxing: "Minister Liu is also welcome to visit Jiangdong at his convenience."
"I will definitely visit Secretary Guan when I have the opportunity to go to Jiangdong."
"Okay, welcome..."
Then they both did it.
Watching Guan Xinmin and Liu Changxing drinking alone, everyone began to freely intersperse.
Qiao Liang gave a toast to the leaders of Xizhou alone, then poured wine and looked at Luo Fei: "Mayor Luo, I offer you a glass of wine."
"Oh, you respect me?" Luo Fei looked at Qiao Liang with a half-smile but not a smile, imitating what Guan Xinmin just said, "Is there anything to say about this glass of wine?"
"Yes." Qiao Liang nodded seriously, "I offer you this glass of wine to express my sincere gratitude to you."
"Oh, haha..." Luo Fei smiled and clinked the wine glasses with Qiao Liang, watched Qiao Liang drink, and then took a sip like Guan Xinmin did just now and put down the glass, "What are you thanking me for?"
Luo Fei originally thought that Qiao Liang would say thank you for approving him to take a temporary job in the northwest and give him a chance to train and improve himself. Unexpectedly, Qiao Liang wiped his lips and said: "I mainly want to thank you for your kindness to me after I went to Liangbei for a temporary job.
of great care and concern.”
Upon hearing what Qiao Liang said, Luo Fei's expression changed slightly. Damn, what did Qiao Liang mean? Did he guess that the self-defeating post was caused by someone else?
Seeing the slight change in Luo Fei's face, Qiao Liang looked confused: "Mayor Luo, what's wrong with you? Am I wrong to thank you? Didn't you care about me after I went to Liangbei to take up a post and something happened?"
On this occasion, in front of so many people, Luo Fei felt miserable. He knew Qiao Liang was teasing him, but he couldn't help but laugh. "Yes, after learning about your accident, I was very concerned and concerned. of."
"Yeah." Qiao Liang nodded, "Then I'm right to thank you. Since Mayor Luo cares so much about me, I hope Mayor Luo can appreciate me for my wine of thanks."
"Uh..." Luo Fei was a little bit stuck. Of course he didn't want to drink Qiao Liang's so-called thank you wine.
An Zhe looked at Luo Fei and said, "Old Luo, I think Qiao Liang's gratitude is correct. You have to drink this wine."
An Zhe's words were heard by Guan Xinmin, who was talking to Liu Changxing, and he looked at Luo Fei.
Hearing what An Zhe said and seeing Guan Xinmin looking at him, Luo Fei felt guilty and felt a little nervous. Damn, this matter can't be big, and Guan Xinmin can't let Guan Xinmin realize that he made the post.
So Luo Fei looked at Qiao Liang and smiled: "Comrade Qiao Liang, you are too polite. Yes, I want to drink this glass of wine."
After speaking, Luo Fei picked up the cup and drank it in one gulp.
After drinking this glass of wine, Luo Fei felt like he was drinking medicine, full of unspeakable bitterness and depression.
An Zhe smiled slightly.
Qiao Liang grinned.
Guan Xinmin did not smile. He glanced at Luo Fei with a thoughtful look, then turned to continue talking with Liu Changxing.
An Zhe then raised his glass and looked at Luo Fei: "Lao Luo, I am Qiao Liang's old leader. Qiao Liang thanks you, and I also want to thank you."
Hearing what An Zhe said, Luo Fei felt angry and embarrassed. It was unreasonable for the master and servant to join forces to play with themselves. It was too much. Damn, you don't play like this.
But even though he was so angry that his stomach hurt, Luo Fei could only knock out his teeth and swallow it. He couldn't refuse An Zhe and himself to drink.
So Luo Fei tried his best to keep his smile and raised his glass.
Just as the two were about to clink glasses, Guan Xinmin said: "Mayor Luo, according to your previous working relationship, you should drink this glass of wine to Chairman An."
Luo Fei was startled, then nodded: "Yes, that's right, that's what it should be."
Then Luo Fei and An Zhe clinked glasses: "Lao An, I respect you, I respect you..."
"You're welcome." An Zhe said and finished.
After Luo Fei finished drinking, he put down his glass. He felt aggrieved and confused. Between himself and An Zhe, Guan Xinmin clearly favored him. Why did he suddenly say such a thing?
Luo Fei was originally in a good mood tonight, but it would be messed up like this.
Seeing Luo Fei's listless look, Qiao Liang felt happy, and thought of Zhao Xiaolan cuckolding Luo Fei while he was away in Jiangzhou, and couldn't help but grin.
Seeing Qiao Liang grinning, Luo Fei had a cold look in his eyes.
Seeing the cold look in Luo Fei's eyes, Qiao Liang shuddered in his heart and stopped laughing.
After the dinner, Liu Changxing, Tengda, Anzhe and Luo Fei accompanied Guan Xinmin for a walk in the hotel yard, while Qiao Liang went directly back to his room.
Qiao Liang sat on the sofa, picked up the remote control and turned on the TV, tuning to the Northwest Satellite TV channel, which was playing the evening news.
Qiao Liang lit a cigarette and watched the news while smoking.
After a while, the news showed a scene of Liao Gufeng having a discussion with the senior official who had just arrived in Jincheng from the capital.
Qiao Liang looked at the senior official intently, thinking about Guan Xinmin's temporary change of inspection schedule to come to Xizhou. He couldn't help but think that although Guan Xinmin had a background in the capital, there were people he didn't deal with, and this had nothing to do with Guan Xinmin. I don’t know what kind of relationship this person has with his background in the capital. I don’t know what kind of relationship this has. I don’t know if it will have any impact on Guan Xinmin. I don’t know if it will be beneficial or detrimental to him.
This series of ignorance made Qiao Liang feel that officialdom was really complex and profound.
This complexity and depth made Qiao Liang feel a certain excitement.
After watching the news, Qiao Liang was about to take a shower, "Bang Bang——" Suddenly there was a knock on the door.
Qiao Liang opened the door and saw Guan Xinmin's secretary standing at the door.
Qiao Liang greeted him politely: "Hello."
"Deputy County Magistrate Qiao, Secretary Guan invites you to go to his room." the secretary said.
Ah! Qiao Liang was stunned when he heard this. Why did Guan Xinmin ask him to go to his room so late at night? Did he want to talk to him about life?
Seeing Qiao Liang in a daze, the secretary continued: "Please follow me."
After saying that, the secretary turned around and left.
Qiao Liang didn't have time to think too much and hurriedly closed the door and followed the secretary forward. As he walked, he said: "Director, what does Secretary Guan want from me?"
"I don't know." The secretary said calmly, then turned to look at Qiao Liang, with the condescending look in his eyes that a big leader's secretary usually has when facing the people below.
Seeing the secretary's expression, Qiao Liang stopped talking and thought to himself, Damn, you are so arrogant. If I hadn't rejected Guan Xinmin at the beginning, I don't know where you would have been assigned.
Qiao Liang followed the secretary upstairs and was walking forward in the corridor when he suddenly saw a person coming up the stairs at the other end of the corridor. Without raising his head, he walked to the door of a room in a few steps, then quickly opened the door and entered.
Although the lights in the corridor were not bright, Qiao Liang recognized at a glance that this person was passable.
At the same time, Qiao Liang knew that Liu Changxing and Guan Xinmin both lived on this floor.
Qiao Liang couldn't help but nodded. Well, if nothing else, Shang Ke should have entered Liu Changxing's room. The nephew wanted to talk to his uncle about life.
At this time, the secretary stopped at the door of a room. Qiao Liang did not stop and walked forward, straight to the door of the room that Shang Ke had just entered.
The secretary said: "Deputy County Magistrate Qiao, you have passed by. That is Minister Liu's room."
"Oh, we've passed by." Qiao Liang hurriedly stopped and turned around and walked back.
The secretary snorted, "Damn it, didn't you see that he had stopped? He was still moving forward. This guy seemed a little stupid."
Then the secretary opened the door and said respectfully: "Secretary Guan, Comrade Qiao Liang is here."
Qiao Liang curled his lips at the secretary with disdain behind his back. Damn, you just called yourself Deputy County Magistrate Qiao. Why don't you call him Deputy County Magistrate Qiao now?
"Well..." Then Guan Xinmin's deep voice came from the room.
Then the secretary turned and looked at Qiao Liang: "Please come in -"
Qiao Liang nodded to the secretary, then went in, and the secretary closed the door behind him.
Guan Xinmin lived in a luxurious suite. At this time, Guan Xinmin was sitting on the sofa outside drinking tea.
"Secretary Guan——" Qiao Liang looked at Guan Xinmin.
"Xiao Qiao, come sit here!" Guan Xinmin pointed to the sofa opposite without raising his head.
Qiao Liang went over and sat down, looking at Guan Xinmin carefully.
Guan Xinmin still didn't raise his head and continued drinking tea.
Qiao Liang muttered in his heart, this guy only cares about drinking tea, why doesn't he ask himself if he wants to drink it? It's not interesting.
Guan Xinmin took a few sips of tea, then raised his head, leaned back on the sofa, put his hands on the armrests of the sofa, tapped his right index finger lightly, and looked at Qiao Liang with a silent look.
At this time, Qiao Liang couldn't see any expression on Guan Xinmin's face. If you want to see more and faster, please search the Weixin attack public account "天下一一一客" and remove the "一" in the middle of the four words .
Under Guan Xinmin's silent gaze, Qiao Liang felt a little embarrassed. Damn, look at Guan Xinmin's posture. He asked himself to come. It didn't seem like he was talking about life.
If you don’t talk about life, what will you talk about?
Qiao Liang was a little confused.
Under such embarrassment and confusion, Qiao Liang couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
