Qiao Liang and Zhou Zhilong looked at each other, both of them were a little surprised, who was this, driving into the county compound so arrogantly.
I saw a middle-aged man in a black fur coat getting out of the car, holding a briefcase under his arm and wearing large sunglasses on his face.
After getting off the car, the middle-aged man took off his sunglasses and looked at the county compound, with a faint look of high spirits on his face.
"County Magistrate Wang, you're here." Shang Ke appeared behind him at some unknown time and shouted.
It turned out that Shang Ke had just taken a car into the county compound, was delayed for a while after answering a phone call in the car, and had just gotten off the car.
The middle-aged man turned around and saw Shang Ke. The expression on his face immediately made a 180-degree turn. He nodded and bowed to Shang Ke and said: "County Magistrate Shang, I'm here to take the city's people with me." I will report to County Magistrate Shang according to the leader's instructions. From now on, I will be a soldier under Magistrate Shang. If Magistrate Shang asks me to go east, I will never go west."
"Yes." Shang Ke smiled with satisfaction and glanced in the direction of Qiao Liang and Zhou Zhilong with a proud look on his face.
Damn, is this the new County Magistrate Wang Fulai? Hearing what Shang Ke called him, and the conversation between the two, Qiao Liang immediately understood the identity of the other party, and almost didn't vomit blood. Damn, this Wang Fulai is... This kind of virtue?
Qiao Liang was looking at Wang Fulai, and Shang Ke looked over again. The two looked at each other, Shang Ke's eyes had a hint of lust and threat, as if he was saying to Qiao Liang, have you seen it? Do it with me. Zhou Zhilong is a warning to others who will not end well.
Qiao Liang understood the meaning in Shang Ke's eyes, snorted coldly, ignored him, turned to Zhou Zhilong and said: "Brother, I will send you away."
"Brother, don't send me off. I have to go home first. Then I will go directly to the city. You don't have to see me off. As you said, there will be many opportunities to get together in the future, and we brothers are not bad at it. Once." Zhou Zhilong patted Qiao Liang's shoulder.
"That's fine." Qiao Liang nodded lightly, thinking of Ding Xiaoyun's explanation, and said, "Brother, Secretary Ding also cares about you very much and told me to see you off on your behalf. Then I will wish you the best on your behalf." It’s been a smooth journey.”
"I have received Secretary Ding's kindness. Please convey my thanks later." Zhou Zhilong nodded.
After the two of them finished talking, Zhou Zhilong got into the car and finally looked back at the place where he had worked for many years. His eyes couldn't help but moisten. This was his hometown. He had worked in this land for most of his life. He did not seek promotion and wealth. I just wanted to do more for my parents and fellow villagers, but I didn't expect that I would be forced to leave in this way in the end.
With tears blurring his eyes, Zhou Zhilong closed the car door forcefully and waved to the driver to drive away. He didn't want others to see his vulnerable side.
Watching Zhou Zhilong's car leave, Qiao Liang felt a little depressed. He turned around and was about to return to the office. When he saw Shang Ke and Wang Fulai walking in front, Qiao Liang couldn't help but follow slowly behind.
From time to time, Wang Fulai's voice came from the front. When Qiao Liang heard the other party trying to flatter Shang Ke, he almost felt sick and wanted to vomit. Damn, it seems that this Wang Fulai has no hope at all. Damn, Shit. He actually managed to recruit such a flatterer.
Back in his office, Qiao Liang felt a little depressed. Zhou Zhilong was transferred away, and Wang Fulai, who took over, was such a bad guy. I'm afraid there will be some trouble in his future work.
Qiao Liang was just thinking about something when he saw a figure appear at the door. He looked up and saw Wang Fulai.
I saw Wang Fulai walking in with eight-character steps, his face full of smiles: "County Mayor Qiao, right? I am Wang Fulai. I have just arrived in Liangbei and took office. I would like to ask County Magistrate Qiao to take care of me in the future."
"It turns out to be County Magistrate Wang." Qiao Liang stood up with a smile and glanced at the other party: "County Magistrate Wang made a mistake. It should be Magistrate Wang who took care of me."
"County Magistrate Qiao is so humble." Wang Fulai laughed and took out a cigarette from his pocket, "County Magistrate Qiao, have a cigarette."
"County Magistrate Wang, thank you. I have a sore throat recently, so I won't smoke for a few days." Qiao Liang declined with a smile, and looked at the eyes in the other person's hand. Damn, China.
"Just drink some Pangdahai for your sore throat." Wang Fulai smiled. Seeing that Qiao Liang didn't answer the cigarette, he smiled and put away the cigarette and said, "Then County Magistrate Qiao is busy first, I won't disturb you, my brother The two offices are right next to each other, so we’ll visit each other more often in the future.”
After Wang Fu finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Qiao Liang stared at the opponent's back, and the corner of his mouth twitched. Damn, this Wang Fulai is a bit weird! The way he talks and does things is not like a person in the organization, but like a member of society. How did such a weird person get to where he is today? of?
Shaking his head, Qiao Liang was too lazy to think about the other person. The man named Wang was destined to be different from her.
In the afternoon, Qiao Liang came to the County No. 1 Middle School to participate in an event to express condolences to poor students. This was a previously arranged itinerary.
In County No. 1 Middle School, Qiao Liang met Ma Yuanxiang, and their eyes met. Qiao Liang thought about it and sent him a text message, asking him to have dinner together in the evening.
It was already four o'clock in the afternoon after participating in the activity at County No. 1 Middle School. Qiao Liang returned to the office and stayed for a while. After get off work, Qiao Liang drove to the hotel he had made an appointment with Ma Yuanxiang.
Ma Yuanxiang had already come over in advance. When she saw Qiao Liang, Ma Yuanxiang was still a little cautious. She stood up and respectfully called County Magistrate Qiao.
"It's just the two of us, there's no need to see anyone outside like this." Qiao Liang smiled and waved.
Ma Yuanxiang nodded and followed Qiao Liang to his seat.
The two chatted for a while while eating. Ma Yuanxiang looked at Qiao Liang: "County Magistrate Qiao, when you invited me to dinner, do you still want to ask about the clues my husband left before he left?"
"No, I'm just inviting you to dinner tonight to see how you are doing." Qiao Liang said.
Ma Yuanxiang was stunned for a moment and was moved: "County Magistrate Qiao, you are such a good person."
"You are an admirable woman. Your husband is gone. I hope you can cheer up soon." Qiao Liang said.
"I'm just an ordinary woman, there's nothing worthy of admiration." Ma Yuanxiang smiled bitterly, glanced at Qiao Liang, and then talked about her return to her hometown last week, "County Chief Qiao, I went back to my hometown last week. There are also a lot of cabinets. It happened that my mother-in-law mentioned that Anfu made a sudden trip home a few months ago. I was excited at that time, thinking that the clues Anfu left were related to the cabinets in my hometown. However, I rummaged through the cabinets and searched for them, but still found nothing. Find something."
"Oh." When Qiao Liang heard this, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes. He thought Ma Yuanxiang had made some new discovery when he mentioned this matter.
Every time he thought about this, Qiao Liang's heart was filled with annoyance. If he had only been one day earlier, he would have gotten the evidence in Wang Anfu's hands, but he missed it because of his hesitation.
"County Magistrate Qiao, I'm sorry, I haven't been able to help you until now." Ma Yuanxiang lowered his head sadly.
"Don't say that, otherwise I will be embarrassed." Qiao Liang said quickly.
Ma Yuanxiang pursed her lips and said, "County Magistrate Qiao, I will try harder to search and see if I can find anything."
"Just try your best, and don't make it too difficult for yourself." Qiao Liang sighed, "This matter can only be left to fate. Sometimes, it is really God's will."
Hearing the word "God's will", Ma Yuanxiang also fell silent. Maybe his fate was also God's will.
The two depressed people toasted each other.
Ma Yuanxiang's drinking capacity was average, and Qiao Liang didn't drink too much with him. After eating, he sent Ma Yuanxiang back, and Qiao Liang also returned to the dormitory.
A night of silence.
The next morning, Qiao Liang was reading documents in the office. At about ten o'clock, there was a rapid knock on the door, and He Qingqing hurriedly opened the door and entered.
"County Magistrate Qiao, something's wrong." He Qingqing said anxiously.
"What's wrong? Stay calm, the sky won't fall." Qiao Liang looked at He Qingqing calmly.
"County Chief Qiao, the Finance Bureau suddenly stopped the compensation for returning farmland to grassland. Those villagers who have not yet received the compensation are anxious and are about to start a riot." He Qingqing said anxiously.
"What did you say?" Qiao Liang stood up suddenly and glared, "The compensation for returning farmland to grassland has stopped? Who asked it to stop?"
"I asked the Finance Bureau, and they said it was County Magistrate Wang who asked for the stop," He Qingqing said.
Day! This Wang Fulai actually set himself up as soon as he arrived. Qiao Liang cursed angrily, then asked, "Director He, how many villagers have not received compensation yet?"
"There are not many people who haven't received it, but it's not enough if the Finance Bureau doesn't issue it. All the villagers in the past have received it, but the following ones can't get it, and these villagers don't do it either." He Qingqing looked helpless, "This is still us. The work was progressing quickly before, and the registration work of most villages has been completed, leaving only a few villages. Otherwise, if the Finance Bureau does this, we will not be able to do our work."
Qiao Liang's face was ugly. He pondered for a moment and looked at He Qingqing: "Director He, in this case, you go to the countryside immediately to appease the villagers. I will take care of the Finance Bureau."
"Okay, then I'll go to the countryside immediately." He Qingqing nodded.
After sending He Qingqing away, Qiao Liang's eyes were gloomy and he wanted to go find Wang Fulai immediately. After thinking about it, Qiao Liang felt that something was wrong. Since Wang Fulai did this, it would be useless for him to go find him now.
"Jia Fangrong, the director of the Finance Bureau, was mentioned not long ago. He seemed to be Zhou Zhilong's person before. Maybe we can start with Zhou Zhilong and see if we can help." Qiao Liang thought to himself.
Without much hesitation, Qiao Liang took out his cell phone and called Zhou Zhilong.
When the call was connected, Qiao Liang smiled and said, "Brother, are you in the city?"
"Here, I arrived last night. I reported to the Forestry Bureau this morning. I briefly handed over the work in the morning. Alas, it seems that I am going to live a semi-retired life ahead of schedule. Compared with the previous work, this job is simply amazing. I am so idle that my balls ache." Zhou Zhilong shook his head and said with a smile.
"Brother, don't be depressed. It's a blessing in disguise. Maybe one day you will be reused again." Qiao Liang consoled him.
"I don't dare to think about this matter. We have nothing to do and have no background. I guess I will have to sit on the bench until I retire." Zhou Zhilong smiled helplessly, "Brother, did you call me for something?"
"You can't hide it from my brother's sharp eyes." Qiao Liang nodded, and immediately told the whole story without telling Zhou Zhilong.
