"Well..." Qiao Liang hesitated, "They are tired from the journey and should all rest now."
"Since they have rested, then you were..." Ding Xiaoyun said strangely.
Qiao Liang realized that he had a flaw, and couldn't help but feel a little flustered, and said hurriedly: "It's like this, this time I came here with my traveling friends, and there was also a deputy minister in charge of news from the Jiangzhou Propaganda Department, who was familiar with me. I want to go over and see her now."
"Oh, deputy director of Jiangzhou Propaganda Department, is it the Propaganda Department that organized this event?"
"No, no, she took annual leave to travel." Qiao Liang said vaguely.
"Is this deputy minister a man or a woman?"
"Female...ma'am..."
"Oh, female deputy minister..." Ding Xiaoyun became interested, "Then I would like to get to know you more... By the way, I remembered that your position before coming to Liangbei was the deputy editor-in-chief of Jiangzhou Daily , you should be in regular contact with the female deputy minister in charge of news at work, so you will naturally become very familiar..."
After hearing what Ding Xiaoyun said, Qiao Liang secretly cried out again, Emma, terrible!
Seeing the bitter look on Qiao Liang's face, Ding Xiaoyun said: "What? County Magistrate Qiao, is it inconvenient for me to go there with you now?"
Qiao Liang paused in her heart and shook her head: "Where is it? It's convenient. Of course it is very convenient. If you go over to see her, she will definitely be very welcoming and happy."
Ding Xiaoyun smiled slightly: "I am very interested in getting to know the officials in Jiangzhou, especially the officials you have a good relationship with."
"Haha..." Qiao Liang smiled, grinning in the night as he walked.
Ding Xiaoyun did not see Qiao Liang's expression at this time.
When you arrive at the hotel, go directly upstairs.
Arriving at the door of room 214, Qiao Liang found that the door was ajar.
Apparently, Shao Bingyu deliberately left the door open in order to prevent him from knocking on the door and causing any noise.
Qiao Liang then thought that after Shao Bingyu took a shower, he knew that he was coming over. Maybe he was wearing pajamas at this time. If Ding Xiaoyun saw Shao Bingyu wearing pajamas, he might be suspicious of something.
So Qiao Liang stretched out his hand to knock on the door and said: "Minister Shao, Secretary Ding from the county knew you were coming and came here to see you."
Shao Bingyu in the room was startled when he heard this. Hey, what's going on? This guy came to stay at his place to spend the night. Why did he bring the county leaders with him?
Shao Bingyu immediately realized that something might have happened on the way Qiao Liang came.
Shao Bingyu calmed down, then went over and opened the door.
Qiao Liang was slightly startled when she saw Shao Bingyu. Apart from not wearing a windbreaker, she was very neatly dressed.
It seemed that even though Shao Bingyu knew that he was going to come to her to do that, he still couldn't let go.
Qiao Liang breathed a sigh of relief. It was a mistake.
Then Qiao Liang introduced them to each other and learned Ding Xiaoyun's identity. Shao Bingyu couldn't help but pay special attention to her. Ding Xiaoyun was the top leader in Liangbei. The success of Qiao Liang's job in Liangbei was inseparable from her support.
Ding Xiaoyun took the initiative to shake hands with Shao Bingyu and said enthusiastically: "Minister Shao, welcome to your trip to Liangbei. I met County Magistrate Qiao when I was walking outside. I heard from him that you were here and came here specially to visit..."
Shao Bingyu understood, thanked them hurriedly, and then invited them in.
There are two single sofas in the room. Ding Xiaoyun and Shao Bingyu sit face to face, and Qiao Liang sits on the edge of the bed.
Then Ding Xiaoyun and Shao Bingyu started talking. They were both members of the system, so naturally they talked more about things in the system.
While talking, Ding Xiaoyun mentioned Zhang Lin and mentioned that she had read the report about Zhang Lin's deeds written by Ye Xinyi.
Hearing Ding Xiaoyun mention Zhang Lin and Ye Xinyi, Shao Bingyu couldn't help but become interested, and the two talked more deeply.
Seeing the two women chatting with great interest, Qiao Liang kept interjecting a few words, feeling a little anxious.
After a while, Shao Bingyu said: "Secretary Ding, County Magistrate Qiao and I are good friends. He is taking a temporary post in Liangbei. He may encounter difficulties of one kind or another, and he needs more support and help from Secretary Ding."
Ding Xiaoyun smiled: "Although County Magistrate Qiao and I have not known each other for a long time, I still have some understanding of County Magistrate Qiao's personality and I still appreciate it very much. As the secretary of Liangbei, I support County Magistrate Qiao's work. , is my unshirkable responsibility. Minister Shao and County Magistrate Qiao are friends. In fact, County Magistrate Qiao and I should be friends now. In this case, we will also become friends..."
After hearing Ding Xiaoyun's words, Shao Bingyu felt comforted and said to Ding Xiaoyun: "It is my honor to be friends with Secretary Ding."
"Minister Shao, you're welcome. I'm willing to make friends with all the friends of County Magistrate Qiao," Ding Xiaoyun said.
Qiao Liang smiled and said: "Secretary Ding, there are many beauties in my circle of friends in Jiangzhou. It's a pity that you are a woman, otherwise..."
"You guy..." Ding Xiaoyun laughed.
Shao Bingyu glanced at Qiao Liang. This guy did know a lot of beauties in Jiangzhou. I wonder how many of these beauties had the kind of relationship with him that he had with him last night.
Thinking of this, Shao Bingyu felt a little unspeakable in her heart.
After chatting for a while, Ding Xiaoyun stood up and said goodbye: "Director Shao, it's getting late. It's time for you to rest. I wish you a happy time in Liangbei tomorrow, and I wish you a safe and smooth journey."
Shao Bingyu then stood up and thanked him.
Seeing that Ding Xiaoyun was leaving, Qiao Liang thought quickly and decided to go with Ding Xiaoyun, lest Ding Xiaoyun would suspect anything if she stayed here.
So Qiao Liang also stood up and said to Shao Bingyu: "Minister Shao, take a rest early. We will continue our activities tomorrow. I will come to have breakfast with you tomorrow morning."
After saying this, Qiao Liang felt huge regret in his heart.
Shao Bingyu nodded calmly.
Then Qiao Liang and Ding Xiaoyun said goodbye and left the hotel, returning to the living area of the county compound together.
Returning to the dormitory, Qiao Liang smiled bitterly.
Originally, Qiao Liang could still return to the hotel, but after all this trouble, Qiao Liang suddenly lost interest and felt a little tired.
At this time, Shao Bingyu sent a message: "Are you in the dormitory?"
Qiao Liang then replied: "Just arrived."
"Yeah." Shao Bingyu replied.
Qiao Liang continued: "Are you... tired now?"
"What do you think?" Shao Bingyu asked.
Qiao Liang thought for a moment, then asked tentatively: "Otherwise... you have a good rest tonight?"
Shao Bingyu was silent for a moment, then replied: "You should also have a good rest."
Qiao Liang nodded. Although their words were a bit vague, they both seemed to understand what the other meant.
"Good night, sweet dreams."
"good evening……"
That night, Qiao Liang slept very well.
At around 7 o'clock the next morning, Qiao Liang got up and drove to the hotel. When he arrived in front of the hotel, he saw Shao Bingyu exercising nearby.
Qiao Liang parked the car and walked over: "Bingyu, did you sleep well last night?"
"It's okay." Shao Bingyu nodded.
"What a coincidence last night, sorry."
Shao Bingyu ignored Qiao Liang's words, looked at Qiao Liang silently for a moment, and said: "From the contact last night, I think Secretary Ding is a good person, especially she treats you well."
"Yes." Qiao Liang nodded, "Secretary Ding is a very good leader, but for some reasons, she is very passive when working in Liangbei."
"I can probably guess the reason." Shao Bingyu nodded, "The struggle within the system has always been complicated and unpredictable. It is difficult for women to do something within the system."
After speaking, Shao Bingyu sighed.
After hearing what Shao Bingyu said, Qiao Liang's heart moved. Then he remembered something and said, "Is your work in the ministry going well now?"
"It went very smoothly, much better than during Minister Chu's time."
"Then... Minister Song is treating you..." Qiao Liang tried.
Shao Bingyu's eyes flickered for a moment, then he lowered his eyelids: "In terms of work, Minister Song is a good leader."
“What about outside of work?”
Shao Bingyu was silent for a moment: "What do you want to know?"
"I..." Qiao Liang hesitated, "I don't know."
Shao Bingyu raised his eyes and looked at Qiao Liang: "Are you suspicious of me?"
"No no!" Qiao Liang shook his head hastily.
Shao Bingyu bit her lip: "Since you and I... then there is no need for you to ask this. I have my own bottom line and principles in everything I do."
Qiao Liang breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good."
"What's good?" Shao Bingyu looked at Qiao Liang.
Qiao Liang bared his teeth: "You know."
Shao Bingyu glared at Qiao Liang and then said: "I ask you a question, you don't have to answer it."
"You tell me, as long as I know, I will tell you."
"Did you say this?"
"Yes, I said that." Qiao Liang patted his chest.
Shao Bingyu looked at Qiao Liang and said slowly: "How many women have you had before you were with me?"
Ah! Qiao Liang's mouth was half-opened, Emma, I didn't expect Shao Bingyu to ask this.
"This... this..." Qiao Liang hesitated.
"Say it." Shao Bingyu stared at Qiao Liang.
"Um..." Qiao Liang grinned, "Bingyu, why do you think of asking this?"
"You don't need to worry about this. You just need to tell me the numbers. You won't say you don't know, right?" Shao Bingyu said.
"This..." Qiao Liang looked embarrassed. If he had known that Shao Bingyu would ask about this matter, he shouldn't have spoken like this without leaving any way out.
Seeing Shao Bingyu sighing, Qiao Liang felt suddenly uneasy for some reason and gritted his teeth: "Okay, I'll tell you, I..."
"Farewell!" Shao Bingyu interrupted Qiao Liang, "I'm suddenly not interested in this anymore. Besides, I just said you don't have to answer."
"You..." Qiao Liang looked at Shao Bingyu blankly, not knowing what to say.
Shao Bingyu then murmured: "Actually, this is your personal privacy. In fact, I shouldn't ask this. In fact, I am stupid for asking this question. In fact, based on my usual observation of certain signs, I should know, of course I
It won’t be the first one after your divorce, and perhaps, it won’t be the last one either…”
"Bingyu..." Qiao Liang continued to look at Shao Bingyu blankly, still not knowing what to say.
Shao Bingyu continued to murmur: "Things between men and women are always unclear. No matter whether it happened or not, no matter what happened, no matter what happens now and in the future, maybe everything is fate, maybe everything is destined.
Or maybe you can make your life as simple as possible. If you make it more complicated, you will only be asking for trouble..."
Thinking about Shao Bingyu's words, Qiao Liang wondered what she was thinking at this time.
After a while, Shao Bingyu composed himself, and then said calmly: "Okay, I didn't say what I just said. The weather is nice today, maybe we should all be in a good mood."
Qiao Liang couldn't help but look up at the sky: "The weather is really good today."
"I hope you can always be in this bright sunshine while you are on duty here." Shao Bingyu looked deeply at Qiao Liang.
Qiao Liang understood the meaning of Shao Bingyu's words, and felt warm in her heart. She was moved and said: "Bingyu, I know you want to see me well. You are very good. Thank you..."
"I don't like official battles, and I will try to avoid them, but I know you can't avoid them, and I know you have to face the cold and cruel reality." Shao Bingyu said.
"Yes, I can't avoid it, nor will I avoid it, nor will I shrink back." Qiao Liang murmured.
"This is what a man is." Shao Bingyu praised.
Qiao Liang looked at Shao Bingyu and she smiled slightly.
At this time, Qiao Liang felt that Shao Bingyu's smile was beautiful and moving, with concern and encouragement from the heart.
Savoring Shao Bingyu's rare smile, Qiao Liang was moved again.
