At this time, Qiao Liang could see that Shao Bingyu was a little moved by Tongtong's invitation. She thought to herself that Shao Bingyu was finally able to take annual leave to travel to the northwest. He couldn't be too selfish to keep her in Liangbei. If she could go on a self-driving trip with Tongtong,
Naturally, they can take some time to relax, and Tongtong and the others have to stay in Liangbei for 2 days. It's good that he and Shao Bingyu can be together for so long.
Also, after Shao Bingyu left Liangbei, she would be alone during the rest of the trip, and she would be very lonely. Moreover, the safety of a woman traveling alone was not guaranteed. She would naturally feel at ease if she was active with Tongtong and the others.
Thinking of this, Qiao Liang nodded: "Director Shao, I think Tongtong's suggestion is very good. They are all experienced travel experts. You will have a lot of fun with them."
Hearing Qiao Liang's agreement, Shao Bingyu nodded, and then said to Tongtong: "Then I will cause trouble for you."
"Director Shao, where are you? When traveling, there will be a lot of people and excitement." Tongtong said with a smile.
The third child interjected: "All the men are eager for a beauty like Minister Shao to join our trip."
Tongtong curled his lips at Lao San and continued: "Not only men want it, but women also like it very much."
Qiao Liang and Lao San both laughed.
So it was decided, and Tongtong then told others about Shao Bingyu's activities together, and everyone warmly welcomed them.
Everyone continued walking towards the hotel, and Shao Bingyu fell behind after a while.
Qiao Liang slowed down and waited for Shao Bingyu, then whispered: "Why are you walking so slowly?"
"My legs are sore," Shao Bingyu said.
Qiao Liang grinned: "Are you tired last night?"
Shao Bingyu glared at Qiao Liang, Damn, you asked knowingly.
Qiao Liang continued: "Actually, you might as well follow Tongtong and the others."
"How do you say this?" Shao Bingyu asked.
Qiao Liang smiled: "If you stay in Liangbei for a few more days, I'm afraid your legs will be sore when you walk, and you won't even be able to get out of bed."
Shao Bingyu felt dizzy for a while, Emma, how powerful is this devil's firepower? He actually made it impossible for him to get out of bed.
Thinking of Qiao Liang's wild night of animals last night, Shao Bingyu couldn't help but tremble with fear, and then reached out and pinched Qiao Liang's butt hard.
"Ah——" Qiao Liang grinned in pain.
Seeing Qiao Liang like this, Shao Bingyu couldn't help but laugh.
Hearing Qiao Liang's call, the third child turned around and saw Qiao Liang grinning and Shao Bingyu smiling, and couldn't help but blink...
Soon we arrived at the roast sheep restaurant. He Qingqing had already made arrangements and was waiting at the door.
Seeing the men and women brought by Qiao Liang, Shao Bingyu was particularly eye-catching among them, and He Qingqing couldn't help but look at her a few more times.
"Everyone, this beauty is Director He of our Liangbei County Government Office." Qiao Liang first introduced He Qingqing to everyone, and then introduced everyone to He Qingqing, "The third child, my college classmate and buddy... Tongtong
, the third daughter-in-law who has never married, the CEO of a travel company in Jiangzhou... Shao Bingyu, the deputy director in charge of news at the Jiangzhou Propaganda Department..."
Listening to Qiao Liang's introduction, He Qingqing shook hands with everyone enthusiastically. When it was her turn to shake hands with Shao Bingyu, because they both worked within the system, and Shao Bingyu was the deputy director, He Qingqing was not only enthusiastic about her, but also couldn't help but be too enthusiastic about her.
Some respect.
Qiao Liang did not tell He Qingqing that Shao Bingyu came to Liangbei alone, which gave He Qingqing the illusion that Shao Bingyu arrived in Liangbei at the same time as the third child, Tongtong, and the others and drove to the northwest together.
Then Qiao Liang invited everyone into the hotel and asked He Qingqing: "Director He, have you arranged the roast lamb?"
"It's all arranged, but it will take a while for the roast to be ready. I've ordered a few more dishes. You can eat and drink while waiting for the roast lamb to be served."
"Well, okay, here are 4 bottles of high-strength liquor."
Upon hearing what Qiao Liang said, the third child was startled and said to Qiao Liang: "Damn it, we don't have many men in total, and we don't drink much. We have to drive around in the afternoon. You serve so much liquor. They want to force us to lie down."
"Yes, County Magistrate Qiao, let's drink less at noon." Several other men also said.
Qiao Liang frowned: "This is for you to drink. If I don't drink it well, I will feel uneasy."
The third child said: "Farewell, I understand. Let's have a good drink before we leave."
"Okay then." Qiao Liang nodded, "This is what you asked for. Don't say later that I didn't treat you well."
"Damn, if you don't provide good hospitality, you can't just watch and drink." The third child said.
"Then what do you want?" Qiao Liang looked at the third child.
The third child grinned: "Send a beautiful woman to each of the men."
Everyone laughed when they heard this, and Tongtong punched the third child: "You are beautiful."
He Qingqing smiled while looking at Qiao Liang and then at Shao Bingyu. This beautiful minister was really pretty, but she looked a bit cold and didn't like to smile much.
Then the waiter took everyone to the private room. He Qingqing and Qiao Liang walked behind. As they walked, He Qingqing whispered to Qiao Liang: "It seems that I was right to leave 10,000 yuan in your card yesterday."
"Yes, absolutely correct." Qiao Liang couldn't help but feel that He Qingqing was thoughtful and gave her a fist.
He Qingqing pursed her lips and smiled.
Everyone entered the private room, Qiao Liang sat as hostess, and He Qingqing sat as deputy hostess.
Then Qiao Liang looked at them: "Everyone, where do you sit?"
Tongtong then pushed Shao Bingyu to the guest of honor seat: "Minister Shao, sit here."
Just as Minister Shao was about to refuse, the third child said: "Minister Shao, you are the leader in the system among us. You are welcome. Please sit down."
"Yes, yes." Everyone nodded.
Qiao Liang chuckled and pointed to the seat of the guest of honor: "Minister Shao, please——"
So Shao Bingyu stopped refusing and went to sit down, and the others took their seats in turn.
Then He Qingqing ordered the waiter to serve the food.
Qiao Liang looked at the third child: "How do you plan to drink wine?"
"According to our schedule, we will start activities in the afternoon. At noon, we will mainly eat. Don't drink too much. We men will have a bottle of white wine. As for the ladies, red wine and drinks are optional." The third child suggested.
Everyone agreed. Tongtong looked at Shao Bingyu: "Minister Shao, do you think our girl drinks red wine or soft drinks?"
According to Shao Bingyu's original idea, if it was just her and Qiao Liang having dinner today at noon, she would have wanted to drink liquor with Qiao Liang. But now that the situation has changed, and she has to drive in the afternoon, it is better to be cautious.
So Shao Bingyu said: "Since there are activities in the afternoon, the men can drink. We, the women, will drink instead of wine. We, the women, will drive in the afternoon."
Several ladies agreed.
So He Qingqing went out and ordered a bottle of liquor and some drinks, and came back and said to Qiao Liang: "County Magistrate Qiao, I have nothing to do on the weekend. Let's go do some activities with you. I'll be here to drive."
Qiao Liang nodded, and then said to everyone: "Director He is very familiar with the terrain of Liangbei. It is best for her to join us for activities, which means we have an excellent guide."
Everyone nodded, and Tongtong looked at Qiao Liang and said, "You have sent me a lot of pictures of the scenery in Liangbei during this period. When you go down, will Director He be your guide?"
"Yes." Qiao Liang nodded.
He Qingqing continued: "Actually, I am not County Magistrate Qiao's guide. According to the leadership arrangement, after County Magistrate Qiao took a temporary post in Liangbei, I have been accompanying County Magistrate Qiao to familiarize himself with the situation."
"Oh, that's it." Tongtong nodded.
Except for Shao Bingyu, no one else felt anything abnormal from He Qingqing's words. However, Shao Bingyu was somewhat sensitive to something. He glanced at Qiao Liang and frowned slightly, with a thoughtful expression... …
Seeing Shao Bingyu's expression, Qiao Liang immediately realized what Shao Bingyu might be thinking of. As a member of the system, Shao Bingyu is naturally sensitive in some aspects, especially because she is very thoughtful.
At this time, the food was served, and everyone poured wine and drinks. Qiao Liang raised his glass and looked at everyone: "A glass of wine, a lifetime of love, a lifetime. Warmly welcome my colleagues, buddies and new friends to Liangbei. I wish you all friendship Friendship will last forever. I wish everyone good health and happiness during the activities in Liangbei..."
After hearing what Qiao Liang said, everyone laughed and raised their glasses. Although Shao Bingyu did not laugh out of habit, he was muttering in his heart, what did this guy mean when he said that he was mentally healthy and physically happy? Could it be that he was still thinking about last night at this time? A crazy night with yourself?
Thinking of the hot scene last night, Shao Bingyu couldn't help but feel a little hot.
In fact, before coming to Liangbei to see Qiao Liang, Shao Bingyu had thought of what might happen and had already made some mental preparations.
But despite some psychological preparation, when all this really happened, Shao Bingyu felt confused again, because she didn't know what happened between herself and Qiao Liang, and what it meant for her and Qiao Liang's present and tomorrow. What, because although she felt that she seemed to understand Qiao Liang very well in some aspects, in other aspects, it was difficult for her to see through Qiao Liang and guess his true thoughts.
For this reason, Shao Bingyu did not think deeply about her relationship with Qiao Liang. Perhaps out of a subconscious, she did not want to think too much. Perhaps for her current self, she is more willing to follow her feelings. For this man whom I cannot guess or understand, thinking too much is only asking for trouble.
Thinking of this, Shao Bingyu breathed out softly...
After Qiao Liang finished picking up the wine, He Qingqing also picked up a glass, and then everyone chatted while eating.
After a while, Qiao Liang raised his glass and looked at Shao Bingyu: "Minister Shao, just have a drink. I have only one meaning for this glass of wine: thank you..."
After speaking, Qiao Liang winked at Shao Bingyu.
Shao Bingyu knew what Qiao Liang was thanking her for. In front of everyone, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous. She pursed her lips and clinked glasses with Qiao Liang: "County Magistrate Qiao is so polite."
Then they both drank.
After finishing the drink, Qiao Liang saw the third child looking directly at him, wiped his mouth, and said nonchalantly: "During my work in Jiangzhou, Minister Shao helped me a lot. I will always keep it in my heart. I am here today to express my gratitude. one time."
The third child blinked: "I helped you a lot while you were in Jiangzhou, so you should also show me your kindness."
Qiao Liang frowned: "Have you ever helped me? Why don't I remember it at all?"
"Damn, ungrateful!" Lao San said dissatisfied.
Qiao Liang laughed, then raised his glass and looked at Laosan and Tongtong: "Here, I'd like to pay homage to you two. Thank you for your help to me in the past. Thank you in advance for your help to me in the future."
"Damn, it seems you will have to trouble me again in the future, let's make a reservation now." The third child muttered and raised his glass.
Tongtong smiled and said: "Qiao Liang, you have a good job in Liangbei. If there is anything that Lao San and I need to do in Jiangzhou, just say it."
"It's necessary, I won't be polite." Qiao Liang clinked glasses with Lao San and Tong Tong.
Although Qiao Liang is in Liangbei, he does need Lao San Tongtong's help for something. The monitoring of Chu Heng cannot be done without Lao San. Some information about Zhao Xiaolan and Wei Xiaobei also needs Lao San to inquire and provide.
Tongtong needs her to take good care of Zhang Mei.
Thinking of Zhang Mei, Qiao Liang felt bored in her heart, and there was also an indescribable concern in her heart.
Qiao Liang sometimes feels confused about her concern for Zhang Mei. She is so ruthless and unjust to him. She has hurt and humiliated herself so deeply. He has no relationship with her anymore. Why can't he let her go? Why do he still care about her?
?
Could this be related to the sincere feelings he had for Zhang Mei? Is there really a kind of emotion that can't be let go?
Thinking about this, Qiao Liang felt ups and downs in her heart...
