Qiao Liang had just left Shang Ke's office when Shang Ke's cell phone rang.
Shang Ke picked up his phone, looked at the call, and then answered it.
"Brother, I'm sorry, the things you arranged today were not successful due to poor performance..." the other party said apologetically.
Shang Ke frowned: "What have I arranged for you today? Before this, I didn't even call you. What can I arrange for you? What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Oh, right, no, you didn't arrange anything for me, and you never called me. I arranged something myself. I wanted to vent my anger on Brother Ke, but I messed up." The other party said hurriedly.
Shang Ke breathed a sigh of relief: "This matter is over. Don't mention it again in the future."
"Hey, okay, it's over, it's over." the other party said hurriedly.
Shang Ke then sighed heavily: "He came back safe and sound and just left my office."
"Ah -" the other party was a little nervous, "Brother, why did he go to your office? He didn't bother you much, did he?"
"How dare he!" Shang Ke snorted, and then said in a mocking tone, "This idiot, he thought it was a dangerous situation caused by falling asleep while driving, and he wanted me to suppress his panic and let him dream!"
"Oh, that's good." The other party breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "Okay, I failed this time by making a mistake. I will do it again, and I will definitely do it next time..."
"Don't!" Shang Ke interrupted the other party, "In the future, you must not act rashly without my instructions."
"This..." The other party was a little confused, "But brother, I really don't want to give in this time."
"If you don't want to do it, you can't continue it. Although he said this to me today, what if he deliberately deceived and paralyzed me?" At this time, Shang Ke remembered his uncle's reminder about Qiao Liang's shrewdness and cunning.
"Brother, what do you mean, he noticed something?" the other party said cautiously.
Shang Ke frowned: "It doesn't seem to be happening at the moment, but you can't be too sure. You have to think of the eventuality in everything. Therefore, in order to prevent the eventuality, you must not continue to do it. Otherwise, once he is on guard against suspecting something, once it happens again,
If you make a mistake, the consequences will be serious."
"Okay, brother, I'll listen to you," the other party said.
Shang Ke thought for a moment and then said: "Remember, the truck driver must be silenced."
"Don't worry about this, I will give him a sum of money to let him leave Liangbei..." The other party was interrupted by Shang Ke before he finished speaking, "No, let him leave Xizhou, leave the northwest, and go as far as possible
The better.”
"Okay, I'll give him another sum of money and let him go abroad." In order to reassure Shang Ke, the other party simply said this.
"Going abroad? How do you plan for a driver to go abroad? What can he do when he goes abroad?" Shang Ke asked.
"I have a buddy who mines in Africa. I'll get him to Africa through labor export and let him work in my buddy's mine. Wouldn't this solve the problem?" the other party said.
"Well, that's okay." Shang Ke said with satisfaction, "Let's start working on it right away."
"Okay, Brother Ke, don't worry, I'll start working on this right away." The other party said.
Shang Ke felt relieved and continued: "I'll work hard on your iron mine and make sure to pay the money to the county at the end of the year."
"Don't worry about this, I guarantee there will be no problem." The other party paused, and then said, "Brother, not only will I pay the full amount of money to the government, but I will also prepare a separate portion for you and the old man.
"
Shang Ke smiled slightly. He knew that the old man he was talking about was his uncle. The old man of this boy's family and his uncle have been friends for many years. His old man owns a powerful group in Jincheng and has received a lot of care from his uncle over the years. Of course, his uncle takes care of him. His old man will also give generous rewards to his uncle.
It is precisely because of the relationship between his uncle and his old man that Shang Ke and the other party became good friends. After Shang Ke came to Liangbei to serve as the county magistrate, he asked the other party to come to Liangbei to open a mine in the name of attracting investment.
Of course, while the other party has gained huge benefits from mining in Liangbei, it will not treat him badly. Even Liu Changxing has taken this into consideration.
Of course, the other party's mining in Liangbei has also increased Liangbei's fiscal revenue, which is quite a lot. On the one hand, this has become a decent political achievement, and on the other hand, it has also blocked the mouths of many people.
Naturally, the other party's mining in Liangbei was approved by his father and Liu Changxing. With their many years of relationship, they were happy to see the close relationship between the younger generations of the two families and to see this win-win result.
Shang Ke continued: "How come you don't care about my uncle's share? My share will still be put on my mother's card as before."
"Come on, don't worry, brother," the other party promised.
"Okay, I have to get off work, so let's do this first."
"Okay, bye brother."
Shang Ke hung up the phone, walked to the window, and stared at the southwest for a long time.
To the southwest is Shang Ke's hometown. Shang Ke was born in a barren and isolated mountain village there. Although he grew up in Jincheng, and although his uncle loved him as his own son, he always missed his parents in the small mountain village. .
Although these years, thanks to the care of my uncle, my parents have lived a pretty good life in the small mountain village. Everyone in the village envies my mother for having a good brother who is a high-ranking official in the provincial capital and repays his kindness, but Shang Ke has his own thoughts in his heart. , he wants to save more money by his own ability, and when he saves enough money, he can buy a villa in Jincheng with all the money, and bring his parents to Jincheng to enjoy the happiness.
Filial piety comes first among all good deeds. From this point of view, he is still a filial son.
Since he had this idea, Shang Ke has been working tirelessly on it.
At this time, Shang Ke couldn't help but think of the humiliation by Qiao Liang in the Xizhou Hotel that morning. He gritted his teeth and said, Damn, I am so filial, but Qiao Liang forced me to scold my mother. This bastard is really bad. If I didn't kill him this time, he would be lucky. I will have to continue to think of ways in the future and never let him go.
Thinking of his uncle's reminders and instructions to him last night, Shang Ke rolled his eyes and couldn't help but start thinking...
At this time, Qiao Liang was smoking in the office while thinking about his own thoughts.
"Bangbang——" At this time, someone knocked on the door.
"Come in -" Qiao Liang composed himself and looked at the door.
The person in the office was pushed away, and He Qingqing came in.
"County Magistrate Qiao, you are back." He Qingqing said as he closed the door behind him.
Qiao Liang nodded: "I just came back a while ago."
"Is your trip to Xizhou going well this time?" He Qingqing said with concern.
"Haha...smooth, very smooth." Qiao Liang smiled.
He Qingqing also smiled: "County Magistrate Qiao, it's time to get off work. Do you have any plans for the evening?"
"Um...I don't have any arrangements, do you?" Qiao Liang looked at He Qingqing.
He Qingqing nodded: "County Magistrate Qiao, I want to treat you to dinner tonight."
"Oh, you invite me?"
"yes."
"Why do you think of inviting me to dinner?"
"Because..." He Qingqing paused, "Because since you arrived in Liangbei, I have received a lot of help and care from you, and you have saved me twice. I would like to express my gratitude."
"If this is the only reason, then there is no need to invite." Qiao Liang waved his hand.
Hearing what Qiao Liang said, He Qingqing couldn't help but laugh: "Does County Magistrate Qiao think that if I eat with you, I won't be able to drink with you because I don't have enough drinking capacity and it won't be fun?"
Qiao Liang grinned: "There seems to be a reason."
"You don't have to worry about this, Mr. Qiao County." He Qingqing pursed her lips and smiled.
Qiao Liang grinned again: "What? Did you hide your drinking capacity before?"
He Qingqing shook her head: "No, we are not going to have dinner together tonight. I have found someone who can drink to accompany you, and I will ensure that you are satisfied."
"Hey, who are you looking for?" Qiao Liang became interested, "Do I know him?"
"You don't know who it is. Don't ask who it is now. When we meet, I will introduce him to you." He Qingqing said a little mysteriously.
"Oh..." Qiao Liang looked at He Qingqing and blinked, "Director He, why do I feel that the dinner you arranged is not that simple and simple. Is there something else?"
He Qingqing smiled mysteriously again: "County Magistrate Qiao, maybe you will understand by then."
Qiao Liang thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, since Director He is so kind, I will obey you."
He Qingqing laughed: "Thank you, the leader, for the honor."
"Why are you thanking me? I should be thanking you for your treat."
"No." He Qingqing waved her hands hurriedly, "County Magistrate Qiao is the leader, and it is also an honor for the subordinates for the leader to attend the dinner party of his subordinates." He Qingqing said.
Qiao Liang said seriously: "I don't think so. What's wrong with the leader? The leader only has a superior-subordinate relationship with his subordinates at work. Outside of work, everyone is an equal ordinary person. Some leaders talk about people but don't care about people. Although I am respectful and respectful on the surface, I am despising and scorning behind my back, let alone inviting the leader to dinner. Therefore, it is me who should be honored when Director He invites me to dinner. This shows that at the very least, I am worthy of respect and respect in the eyes of Director He. "
He Qingqing also said seriously: "County Magistrate Qiao, in my eyes, you are not only worthy of respect and respect, I admire you very much now."
"Admiration? Isn't this a bit exaggerated?" Although Qiao Liang said this, he felt very satisfied and a little proud. What man doesn't like a woman saying this? Besides, this woman is not only beautiful, she is also a top student who graduated from a prestigious university. She is quite a bit proud. Qualifications and qualities.
"It's not an exaggeration, what I said is true." He Qingqing said solemnly, "County Magistrate Qiao, in my eyes, you are not only a dedicated, diligent and capable leader, but also an excellent man."
"Haha..." Qiao Liang laughed, feeling more and more grateful, "Thank you, Director He, for your compliment. Actually, as a man, I'm not very good either."
"County Magistrate Qiao is being humble. At least in Liangbei, I can't find a better man than you. Moreover, among the men I have seen over the years, you are the best." He Qingqing said with a soft smile. Next.
Listening to He Qingqing's words and looking at He Qingqing's soft smile, Qiao Liang suddenly felt inexplicably moved. He stood up and walked to He Qingqing: "Do you really think so?"
He Qingqing looked at Qiao Liang with bright eyes and nodded deeply.
Looking at He Qingqing's eyes, Qiao Liang seemed to see something vague in it. He couldn't help but feel something in his heart. He subconsciously raised his hand and put it gently on her shoulder.
He Qingqing's body trembled slightly but did not move, and continued to look at Qiao Liang intently.
When their eyes met, Qiao Liang's heart couldn't help but move, and the hand on her shoulder exerted a little force.
He Qingqing's body trembled slightly again, and she pursed her lips slightly. If you want to see more quickly, search the Weixin public account "天下一一一客" and remove the "一" in the middle of the four words.
Qiao Liang stared at He Qingqing, remained silent for a moment and said, "Director He, you look very touching right now."
He Qingqing's face turned slightly red, showing a bit of shyness, and she put her hands together in front of her lower abdomen.
Seeing He Qingqing's shy look, Qiao Liang suddenly remembered the ambiguity with He Qingqing in the no-man's land that night, her heartbeat couldn't help but accelerate, and some instinctive impulse suddenly surged out of her body that had been lonely for a long time...
