Qiao Liang and Lao San were muttering to one side. Ding Xiaoyun and Tong Tong chatted for a while. Ding Xiaoyun turned to Qiao Liang and smiled: "County Chief Qiao, Mr. Tong and the others are distinguished guests from your hometown. You have to drink more in the evening."
A few drinks.”
"That's for sure." Qiao Liang smiled at Ding Xiaoyun, "Secretary Ding, I came to Liangbei for a temporary job, so I am from Liangbei, so tonight you and I should be the hosts to welcome Mr. Tong and the others."
As soon as Qiao Liang finished speaking, Tong Tong rolled his eyes at Qiao Liang: "Qiao Liang, stop talking about Mr. Tong, it makes me uncomfortable."
After Tongtong finished speaking, he smiled at Ding Xiaoyun and said, "Secretary Ding, just like Qiao Liang, call me Tongtong. It's strange to call me Mr. Tong."
"Oh, I'm afraid I won't respect you enough if I don't call you Mr. Tong." Qiao Liang laughed.
"Qiao Liang, don't come here." Tongtong smiled angrily.
The two were joking, and Ding Xiaoyun looked on with a smile. She liked this kind of social interaction. There was no pressure at all and it made people feel very relaxed. Especially when she was with Qiao Liang, Ding Xiaoyun found that her mood was always inexplicable.
Such a reaction made Ding Xiaoyun's heart beat faster, and she immediately told herself in her heart that the relationship between her and Qiao Liang was just colleagues, and the contact between the two was also the contact between normal colleagues. There must be no overstepping.
Thoughts... Just thinking about the close contacts between the two of them before, Ding Xiaoyun felt that his self-comfort was a bit ridiculous.
Qiao Liang didn't know what Ding Xiaoyun was thinking at the moment. After making a few jokes with Tongtong, Qiao Liang stood up and poured the wine and suggested that everyone drink together first.
Because they were very familiar with each other, the atmosphere of the banquet seemed relaxed and happy. Ding Xiaoyun quickly integrated into the atmosphere, without any airs of being a county leader. Like Qiao Liang, he treated Lao San and Tongtong as friends.
The meal lasted until after nine o'clock. Qiao Liang Jin'er and the third child Tongtong had dinner together. They were in a happy mood and drank a lot in the evening. They took Ding Xiaoyun's car back to the dormitory in the county compound and fell asleep.
Qiao Liang slept deeply, but he did not know that a conversation that was about to affect the political situation in northwest China was going on in the courtyard of Jincheng, the provincial capital. Although it was already after nine o'clock in the evening, Liao Gufeng's office was still brightly lit.
In the office, Liao Gufeng was sitting on the main seat of the sofa, leaning slightly forward and listening. On the sofa to the side was Sun Zezhong, the head of the provincial department.
After listening to Sun Zezhong's report, Liao Gufeng's eyes were sharp and there was a trace of anger on his face: "A law enforcement officer kills whenever he says. Does such a person still have law in his eyes? It is simply audacious and lawless."
"Some people rely on their status and background and always think that they are above the law." Sun Zezhong looked solemn. The person who was killed was a police officer in his system. There is no doubt about Sun Zezhong's attitude towards this matter and he supports strict handling.
"Then let them know that everyone is equal before the law." Liao Gufeng patted the table. He knew that the idea of privilege was deeply ingrained in many people's minds, but that didn't work for him, Liao Gufeng.
"Secretary Liao, what about arresting Liu Yuhu now?" Sun Zezhong asked Liao Gufeng for his opinion. Because the case was handed over by Liao Gufeng, and because Liu Yuhu's status was unusual, Sun Zezhong had to ask for Liao Gufeng's opinion.
"Arrest him, but he must be consistent with the outside world. He is arrested for a criminal case involving human life." Liao Gufeng nodded and explained.
"Okay." Sun Zezhong nodded knowingly.
"You have to investigate the rest quietly and keep it confidential," Liao Gufeng said again.
"I understand." Sun Zezhong nodded again, raised his head and glanced at Liao Gufeng, with a tacit look in their eyes.
Liao Gufeng and Sun Zezhong were talking in the room. Outside the office suite, Secretary Liao Gufeng looked into the inner office from time to time. It was already past nine o'clock. The secretary didn't know why Sun Zezhong came to Liao Gufeng so late, but his intuition told him that Sun Zezhong must come over.
It was a big deal. The other party was in charge of a key department like the provincial department. He came to Liao Gufeng so late, and Liao Gufeng received him immediately. Something big must have happened.
The secretary wanted to go to the door and eavesdrop, but he didn't dare. He had actually tried it just now, but the voices of Liao Gufeng and Sun Zezhong in the room were not loud, and the sound insulation effect of the door was good, so the secretary couldn't hear clearly at all.
Because he was worried that Sun Zezhong would come out at any time, the secretary did not dare to stick to the door for too long and returned to sit in his chair early.
The secretary kept staring at the office door. From time to time, the secretary raised his hand to look at the time. Finally, when he saw the door opening from the inside, the secretary's expression changed and he quickly stood up.
In the room, Sun Zezhong walked out, and the secretary hurried up to greet him. When he saw Liao Gufeng walking to the door in person, the secretary paused, then walked up again and said with a smile: "Sun Ting, are you leaving?"
"Well, it's getting late, so I don't dare to delay Secretary Liao's time." Sun Zezhong smiled and looked at the secretary in front of him. After all, he was Liao Gufeng's secretary. Although his rank was not high, Sun Zezhong was extremely polite.
, smiled and patted the other party on the shoulder, "Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Chang. You work overtime with Secretary Liao every day until so late."
The secretary's name was Chang Yunfei. Hearing Sun Zezhong's words, Chang Yunfei was quite flattered and said quickly: "Ding Sun, Secretary Liao is the one who really works hard. Compared with him, I am much more relaxed. Look at Secretary Liao coming to us.
During this time in the northwest, my hair has turned a lot grayer."
"Indeed, Secretary Liao has too many things to worry about." Sun Zezhong nodded slightly, turned to Liao Gufeng and said, "Secretary Liao, you must take care of yourself. Your work is important, but your body is even more important. If something goes wrong with your body, it will be
Our biggest loss in Northwestern Province."
"Thank you Comrade Zezhong for your concern. Don't worry, I can still carry this old bone for a few more years." Liao Gufeng chuckled.
Chang Yunfei on the side listened to what Sun Zezhong said just now and muttered in his heart, it turns out that big leaders can also flatter people. Look at the flattery Sun Zezhong just said, it was so neat.
"Secretary Liao, I'll leave first, and you should go back and rest early." Sun Zezhong finally smiled.
Watching Sun Zezhong leave, Liao Gufeng glanced at his secretary Chang Yunfei, narrowed his eyes, and said with a smile: "Xiao Chang, it's very late, you should go back and rest."
"Secretary Liao, aren't you going back yet?" Chang Yunfei asked.
"Yes, it's time to go back and rest." Liao Gufeng said.
The two came down from upstairs together. Chang Yunfei helped Liao Gufeng open the car door and watched Liao Gufeng leave. Chang Yunfei then got into his car.
Driving away from the compound, Chang Yunfei held the steering wheel with one hand and took out his mobile phone to make a call.
When the call was connected, Chang Yunfei said: "Minister Liu, Secretary Liao just met with Director Sun of the Provincial Department."
"Why is Secretary Liao meeting Sun Zezhong so late?" Liu Changxing was enjoying a massage in a private club. When he heard Chang Yunfei's words, he immediately sat up and waved away the technician beside him.
"I don't know either. The door was closed and I wasn't inside, so I couldn't hear what the two of them were talking about." Chang Yunfei shook his head.
Hearing Chang Yunfei's words, Liu Changxing frowned. Sun Zezhong went to see Liao Gufeng so late. It was obvious that he had something unusual!
After thinking for a while, Liu Changxing asked again: "Did Secretary Liao say anything after he came out?"
"I didn't say anything." Chang Yunfei shook his head.
"Secretary Permanent Secretary, why didn't you test it out?" Liu Changxing asked.
"Minister Liu, how can I have the guts to test Secretary Liao? I haven't been following him for a long time, and I haven't fully gained Secretary Liao's trust. Now I'm walking on thin ice, how can I dare to ask questions?" Chang Yunfei said.
.
Liu Changxing agreed upon hearing this. It was a bit embarrassing for him to ask Chang Yunfei to do this now. Only Chang Yunfei can secure the position of Liao Gufeng's secretary, which will be more valuable to him in the future. Therefore, Liu Changxing has never forced Chang Yun too much.
Fly to do something.
"Okay, let's do this for now. If you have any news, you can inform me later." Liu Changxing said.
After hanging up the phone, Liu Changxing thought for a moment, called up a number from his phone, and dialed it.
"Have you rested?" Liu Changxing asked after the call was put through.
"Not yet, just came back from the hall." The person on the other end of the phone replied.
"Did anything big happen in your hall in the past two days? Or is there any big case?"
"No, everything is normal. It's nothing serious. It's the same as usual."
"Are you sure?"
"Are you sure? Minister Liu, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, I'm just asking. Think about it carefully and see if there's anything you've missed, or if there's anything in the hall that you don't know." Liu Changxing asked again.
"Minister Liu, no, I am the deputy director of the department after all. Although I am a bit lower in the ranking, I am also a member of the party committee of the department. It is impossible for big and small matters in the department to be hidden from me." The person on the other end of the phone
He smiled and said, "Did Minister Liu hear something?"
"It's nothing. Just pay more attention and report to me if anything happens." Liu Changxing explained.
"Okay." The person on the other end of the phone said.
After the two ended the call, Liu Changxing held the phone in a daze for a while, and finally shook his head, thinking that maybe he was too nervous, and the provincial affairs had nothing to do with him.
On the road leading to the suburbs, the black Audi that drove out from the provincial compound sped toward the suburbs and arrived at the provincial department's secret case handling base in the suburbs.
Upstairs, seeing the Audi car coming in, the person in charge of the base and the two chief and deputy criminal investigation captains who were handling the case came out one after another.
Several people walked up to the man who got off the car and said respectfully: "Sun Ting."
"Action." Sun Zezhong waved his hand and said solemnly.
After hearing Sun Zezhong's words, the two captains looked at each other, their eyes lit up, and they were finally about to take action!
They have been waiting for this sentence for a long time.
In the dark night, the north wind howled, as if foreshadowing something, adding a bit of chill to this cold and windy night. (To be continued)
