Ma Yuanxiang was so excited when she saw that her husband had woken up. She quickly stepped forward to support her husband and comforted him: "Anfu, what are you going to say? Don't get excited. Speak slowly."
At this time, Qiao Liang also came closer. He knew that what Wang Anfu was going to say might be related to the iron ore matter.
Wang Anfu's eyes widened, and he suddenly grabbed Qiao Liang's hand with one hand, but looked at his wife, and kept saying: "Cabinet...cabinet..."
The next words were never spoken.
"Anfu, don't be anxious. Say what you want to say slowly." Ma Yuanxiang also became anxious.
The electrocardiogram monitor made a sharp cry, and the curved graph on it suddenly turned into a straight line. Wang Anfu, who had his eyes wide open just now, slowly closed his eyes and dropped his hands.
Qiao Liang felt the hand holding her loosen, as if it had no weight, and her heart sank. She looked up at Wang Anfu, feeling despair.
Gone.
Wang Anfu just left.
"Anfu, what do you want to say? Speak slowly..." Ma Yuanxiang was still repeating these words, tears streaming down her face. She had actually felt the signs that her husband had lost his life, but she was unwilling to accept this harsh and cruel
Brutal truth.
Qiao Liang walked aside, held his head with both hands, and squatted down in annoyance. Last night Wang Anfu said that he didn't have much time. This may be Wang Anfu's own premonition, but Qiao Liang never thought that Wang Anfu would be so fast.
He just left, and he left so suddenly.
If he had not gone back to think about it last night, if he had agreed to trade with Wang Anfu on the spot last night and transferred money directly to Wang Anfu, would he have now obtained ironclad evidence of iron ore illegal crimes? Qiao Liang was filled with great annoyance at this time.
Full of regrets, one wrong step could lead to irreversible consequences.
Beside the hospital bed, Ma Yuanxiang and her mother-in-law were crying their hearts out. After a while, Qiao Liang stood up and looked at the heartbroken Ma Yuanxiang. Qiao Liang didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only pat him on the shoulder.
Said: "My condolences."
Unable to stand the depressing atmosphere in the ward, Qiao Liang walked out and stood in the corridor. Qiao Liang frowned, sighed, and left the hospital.
Back in the office, Qiao Liang's upset mood calmed down a little, and she couldn't help but recall the last word Wang Anfu said before leaving. Qiao Liang only heard that the other person pronounced it "gui", so what word did Wang Anfu want to say?
What? The cabinet is either expensive or expensive? What does the other party want to hint to him in the end?
"Hey..." After pondering for a long time, Qiao Liang sighed in distress. At this moment, he was in an extremely irritable mood.
Qiao Liang sat for a while, and Ding Xiaoyun suddenly came over and greeted Qiao Liang: "County Magistrate Qiao, let's go to the city for a meeting. The city is going to hold a poverty alleviation work conference. We have just informed that the top leaders and leaders in charge are required to attend."
"Oh, let's go then." Qiao Liang nodded blankly, still thinking about Wang Anfu in his head.
The two drove to the city. It happened that Ding Xiaoyun's driver had something to do at home and asked for leave today, so it was Qiao Liang who drove.
On the way, Ding Xiaoyun saw that Qiao Liang was a little absent-minded and asked, "County Magistrate Qiao, is there something on your mind?"
Qiao Liang thought for a moment and said, "Secretary Ding, how much do you know about iron ore?"
"Iron mine?" Ding Xiaoyun frowned, then shook his head, "I don't know much about iron mines. County Magistrate Shang personally protects that mine and does not allow others to take care of it."
"How much tax can the iron mine pay to the county in a year?" Qiao Liang asked again.
"It won't be much, but it will cause trouble to the county." Ding Xiaoyun curled his lips.
"It seems that Secretary Ding doesn't know much about the annual output value of iron ore." Qiao Liang said.
"Well, I really don't understand. County Magistrate Shang won't let anyone take care of him, so why should I ask for trouble?" Ding Xiaoyun said with a bitter smile.
From Ding Xiaoyun's words, Qiao Liang felt Ding Xiaoyun's helplessness as the leader and various compromises with Shang Ke. Although Ding Xiaoyun was also working hard to change the status quo, some things were not based on her will. The background behind Shang Ke It was too powerful, and Ding Xiaoyun could not shake it, nor did he dare to shake it.
While Qiao Liang was thinking, Ding Xiaoyun was also watching Qiao Liang silently. Qiao Liang's arrival caused some changes in the political situation of Liangbei County. Such changes, from the current point of view, are good for Ding Xiaoyun, and also made Ding Xiaoyun I am looking forward to it more and more. I don’t know how Qiao Liang will disturb the political situation in Liangbei County in the future.
"County Magistrate Qiao, why are you suddenly concerned about the iron ore?" Ding Xiaoyun asked proactively.
"It's okay. Isn't this just a curious question? I see that County Magistrate Shang is holding the iron ore like a baby, so he is quite curious about the iron ore." Qiao Liang said with a smile.
Ding Xiaoyun glanced at Qiao Liang. She didn't believe what Qiao Liang said. After thinking about it, Ding Xiaoyun said tactfully: "County Chief Qiao, we don't need to take care of the iron ore matter. We just need to do our job well." , the poverty alleviation work you are currently in charge of has made a good start. You should continue to work hard and continue to move forward quickly while consolidating the current results. Next year, we will strive to surprise other brother counties."
"Secretary Ding, don't worry, I will definitely do my job well." Qiao Liang nodded with a smile.
The two of them talked all the way. It was already evening when the car arrived in the city. Because there was occasional snow on the road, Qiao Liang did not dare to drive too fast, so the driving time was much longer.
After having a quick bite at Xizhou Hotel, Qiao Liang and Ding Xiaoyun had nothing to do and took a walk along the street outside the hotel.
The street where Xizhou Hotel is located is almost the busiest street in Xizhou City. The only four-star hotel in Xizhou is also on this street, not far from Xizhou Hotel.
As the two of them were walking, Qiao Liang smelled the aroma of grilled skewers, and suddenly his appetite aroused. He was about to drag Ding Xiaoyun to eat some grilled skewers, but suddenly he saw someone walking out of the door of the four-star hotel in front of him. Qiao Liang hurriedly He pulled Ding Xiaoyun and walked to the edge.
It’s Shang Ke! Qiao Liang was secretly surprised. He didn’t expect Shang Ke to come to Xizhou today!
I saw Shang Ke standing at the door of the hotel. After about a minute or two, a black car stopped at the door of the hotel. A middle-aged man got out of the car. The man patted Shang Ke affectionately on the shoulder. Walking into the hotel chatting and laughing.
The person who got out of the car was Tengda.
Seeing this scene, Qiao Liang's face looked a little gloomy.
Ding Xiaoyun also saw the scene in front of him and smiled helplessly: "County Magistrate Qiao, have you seen it? This is an advantage that County Magistrate Shang cannot match. Even the main leaders in the city want to show kindness to him. What do you think we should do..."
Ding Xiaoyun did not continue.
"Secretary Ding, you must have confidence. A great man once said that fighting against heaven will bring endless joy, and fighting against people will bring endless joy." Qiao Liang grinned, "Don't lose confidence."
"Let's go and have a drink." Ding Xiaoyun suddenly lost interest. She did not have as much confidence as Qiao Liang. Qiao Liang had only been in the northwest for a short time and had no idea how powerful Liu Changxing was behind Shang Ke in the northwest. .
"Okay, let's have a drink. Let's eat skewers. It goes well with beer." Qiao Liang said with a smile.
The two of them walked to a skewer restaurant far away to avoid being accidentally bumped into by Shang Ke and the others later.
Ordered several plates of skewers, Qiao Liang ordered a box of beer, and started drinking with Ding Xiaoyun while eating.
Ding Xiaoyun was obviously a little abnormal tonight. He repeatedly took the initiative to clink glasses with Qiao Liang. After a while, Ding Xiaoyun had already drank two bottles of beer.
"County Magistrate Qiao, do you know that when I knew that my superiors were going to transfer me to serve as Liangbei County Secretary, I was excited all night. I imagined that after coming to Liangbei, I would be able to flex my muscles, be able to make a difference, and be able to do something great. I did not deserve the training given to me by the organization and the trust my superiors placed in me. But after I came to Liangbei, I realized that things were not as good as I thought. I wanted to make some changes to the current situation in Liangbei. But I often can't even carry out my work. I am the top leader, and my government orders can't even leave the county compound. Do you think I, the top leader, am just a decoration?"
Ding Xiaoyun looked bitter, took a sip of wine by himself, and continued, "Do you think I am a useless secretary? Sometimes in the dead of night, lying alone in the dormitory, I think, I am so useless. , I want to do something good and do more for the people, but sometimes I can't even achieve this small wish."
"Secretary Ding, you have actually done a good job. As the old saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning. You have taken the first step to success. I believe it will get better and better in the future." Qiao Liang comforted, Looking at Ding Xiaoyun at this moment, Qiao Liang felt a little distressed inexplicably. At this moment, Ding Xiaoyun was no longer a top leader, but more like a weak woman who needed to be loved and pitied. As a woman, Ding Xiaoyun put her fragile body at the moment. One side was exposed, but this Ding Xiaoyun was more flesh and blood and more real in Qiao Liang's eyes.
"I hope so too." Ding Xiaoyun looked at Qiao Liang, "It has been several months since I was transferred to Liangbei. I have done nothing before. County Magistrate Shang is too strong. I can't do anything about many things. It wasn't until you arrived that I discovered what was going on. There have been some mysterious changes, County Magistrate Qiao, to be honest, I am very glad that you can come to Liangbei to take up a temporary position."
"I am also honored to be able to come to Liangbei and get to know Secretary Ding." Qiao Liang and Ding Xiaoyun looked at each other, smiled and picked up their wine glasses, "Secretary Ding, come and drink to our friendship."
"Okay, cheers." Ding Xiaoyun responded loudly. At this moment, her cheeks had turned red from drinking, but Ding Xiaoyun was still interested. After finishing the drink with Qiao Liang, Ding Xiaoyun continued to pour the wine.
The two of them drank one cup after another. In the end, they didn't know how much they drank. Until Qiao Liang felt that he was a little dizzy, and he was afraid that he would get drunk if he drank any more. At this time, he quickly stopped: "Secretary Ding , I can’t drink any more, if I drink any more, we will be choked even if we walk back.”
"It's okay, drink...keep drinking." Ding Xiaoyun was speechless. She was actually drunk.
"Secretary Ding, stop drinking. It's time to go back. Let's find a chance to drink again next time." Qiao Liang quickly dissuaded him. If he drank any more, both of them would have to lie down. Ding Xiaoyun was obviously drunk.
After paying the bill, Qiao Liang finally helped Ding Xiaoyun back to the hotel with great effort. Ding Xiaoyun, who was already drunk, seemed to have fallen asleep, with his body half hanging on Qiao Liang's body.
"It's quite heavy." After helping Ding Xiaoyun to lie down on the bed, Qiao Liang let out a long breath and sat down on the bed. At this moment, he also felt dizzy and heavy. This was because he was drunk. At this moment, Qiao Liang also felt
I just want to lie down and take a good nap.
Feeling dizzy, Qiao Liang was about to stand up when he was suddenly pulled by a hand stretched out from behind.
With this pull, Qiao Liang's body shook, and then he fell on the bed involuntarily...
