Qiao Liang checked the time. It was almost 11 o'clock now, which was quite late. After thinking about it, Qiao Liang didn't call Wu Huiwen.
A night of silence.
The next morning, Qiao Liang came to the provincial auditorium for a meeting.
When the meeting was about to begin, Qiao Liang saw Shang Ke hurried over and sat down on the seat next to Qiao Liang.
Shang Ke looked at Qiao Liang, said hello, and said with a smile: "Deputy County Magistrate Qiao, you are here really early."
"Haha, does County Magistrate Shang find it strange that I can still come to the meeting?" Qiao Liang said sarcastically.
"Where did Deputy County Magistrate Qiao start with these words?" Shang Ke looked shocked.
"County Magistrate Shang knows this," Qiao Liang said through gritted teeth. He moved closer to Shang Ke and whispered, "County Magistrate Shang, you are ruthless. I wrote down last night's account."
"Deputy County Magistrate Qiao, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand you?" Shang Ke looked at Qiao Liang in confusion.
Damn, this actor is really good at acting! When Qiao Liang saw Shang Ke's expression, he wanted to slap him in the face. He was quite good at pretending to be dumbfounded.
Turning his head, Qiao Liang ignored Shang Ke.
At this time, the leaders attending the meeting also came in one after another.
Today's provincial poverty alleviation work conference has a very high standard, because Liao Gufeng will also attend in person and will deliver an important speech.
At the beginning of the meeting, a provincial leader in charge of poverty alleviation work gave a speech. Qiao Liang listened carefully and heard that the province will introduce assessment indicators in the future. Counties (cities, districts) that do not meet the standards for poverty alleviation work will no longer just be named.
Qiao Liang couldn't help but feel nervous after criticizing and holding accountable the relevant leaders in charge. Fortunately, he had paid special attention to the poverty alleviation work since he took over the responsibility. In addition, the meat processing plant project supported by Jiangdong Commercial Group has been completed at an extremely fast pace.
Construction has been implemented at a rapid pace. In the past six months, Liangbei County’s poverty alleviation work has been impressive and remarkable. This year, Qiao Liang is confident that Liangbei County’s poverty alleviation work will be ranked last in the province.
Hats off, there should be nothing to worry about regarding the assessment indicators issued by the province.
Qiao Liang was in a meeting at the Hongtu Hotel.
Liu Ying only found out what happened last night when the police came to investigate again about Qiao Liang. This surprised Liu Ying. As the operator of the group, Liu Ying understood very well that this matter was revealing.
It was strange, because they rarely encountered the police coming to check the room at Hongtu Hotel all year round. Thinking of the inexplicable words Qiao Liang said when he called him last night, Liu Ying suddenly understood that Qiao Liang had misunderstood her.
Thinking carefully about what happened last night, Liu Ying was thoughtful, and then called a manager down below to ask in detail whether Shang Ke had a banquet at the hotel last night. After getting the answer, Liu Ying thought for a moment,
Came to my father's office.
"Xiaoying is here, sit down." Liu Guangan saw his daughter coming and waved.
"Dad, why did you suddenly think of playing golf last night?" Liu Ying asked.
"Why did you suddenly think of asking this?" Liu Guangan glanced at his daughter.
"Dad, I remember that you used to play golf in the afternoon and rarely played in the evening." Liu Ying looked directly at her father, "Did you cooperate with me and do something last night?"
"Xiaoying, I don't know what you are talking about." Liu Guangan shook his head.
"Dad, don't say you don't know about Qiao Liang's matter," Liu Ying said coldly.
"Haha, I don't even know who this Qiao Liang you are talking about is. What do I know?" Liu Guang'an smiled lightly, "I admit that it was Xiao Ke's idea to suddenly propose to play golf last night, but what exactly did he do?
What, I didn’t ask more, and I didn’t bother to ask.”
"You can still set up a trap in our hotel to frame others. Have you ever thought that this will bring bad consequences to our hotel?" Liu Ying looked at her father helplessly, "Qiao Liang is the deputy magistrate of Liangbei County.
Shang Ke’s colleague, why did Shang Ke set up a trap to frame him? With Shang Ke’s identity and background, why did he target Qiao Liang? Dad, have you ever thought about this problem? "
"Really?" Liu Guangan frowned slightly, then smiled and said, "As for what you said about Qiao Liang, what consequences will it bring to our hotel?"
Liu Guangan showed some disdain: "Our Hongzhan Group has been standing in the northwest for many years and is now a leading private enterprise in the province. What impact can a mere deputy county magistrate have on our group?"
"Dad, no matter what level of cadre he is, I have always said that since we are a business, we must be a pure businessman and not get too involved in things within the system. Why don't you listen?" Liu Ying said angrily?
.
"Pure businessman?" Liu Guang'an looked at his daughter funny, "Xiaoying, you are still too naive. Although you have been taking care of the specific business of the group in the past few years, have you ever thought about what would happen if it weren't for me?
All official relations have been taken care of in advance, do you think the group's operations can be so smooth?"
Liu Ying was silent for a moment after hearing this. She was not good at dealing with official matters, so her father was in charge of those matters. Liu Ying also guessed that there might be some rope-camp dog-dog transactions involved, but Liu Ying didn't want to ask more.
"Xiaoying, there is no way to separate business from the political world. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that government and business are integrated. If you don't manage the official relationship well, it will be difficult for the company to develop and grow."
Liu Guang'an said earnestly, "You just think that things are too simple and wonderful. How can I trust you to hand over the group to you?"
Liu Guang'an changed the subject and suddenly said: "So I think the combination of you and Xiao Ke is a match made in heaven. It can just make up for your shortcomings. From now on, Xiao Ke will be responsible for official matters. You can concentrate on running the group well. This will
Ensure the smooth development of the group.”
"Dad, you can even bring this into the engagement." Liu Ying said angrily, "Anyway, I have made my point very clear. I firmly disagree with this marriage. I make my own decisions about my own marriage.
.”
"Xiaoying, it's no longer up to you whether you agree or not. I have already discussed the engagement date with Uncle Xiaoke. It's best for you to agree to this marriage. If you don't agree, you have to agree." Liu Guangan's face turned pale.
Said without a doubt.
"dad……"
"Okay, this matter is settled. Don't say anything. I'm going to the capital in the next few days. You take care of the group's affairs." Liu Guang'an interrupted his daughter and did not allow her to refute again.
Seeing her father's attitude, Liu Ying was so angry that she threw away her hands and left.
Returning to her office, Liu Ying sat alone for a long time and finally lost her temper. Liu Ying thought about Qiao Liang, thought about it for a moment, and called Qiao Liang.
On the other end of the phone, Qiao Liang was in a meeting. When Liu Ying called, Qiao Liang hung up without saying anything.
"Don't answer the phone?" Seeing that the call was hung up again, Liu Ying stared angrily. Qiao Liang didn't even give her a chance to explain. However, if she put herself in Qiao Liang's shoes, Liu Ying could understand.
Liang, Qiao Liang now seems to regard her as one of the people who set up a trap, so how can he answer her call?
After the morning meeting, Qiao Liang returned to Liangbei. Originally, Qiao Liang wanted to see Liao Gufeng, but Liao Gufeng had other important arrangements in the afternoon and had no time to see him. Qiao Liang simply went back to Liangbei. As for asking Liao Gufeng for An Zhe,
Qiao Liang didn't really do the thank you thing. It was better to let An Zhe do it himself. He was not qualified to replace An Zhe. Besides, that would also be disrespectful to Liao Gufeng.
This trip to the provincial capital was a bit depressing for Qiao Liang. Shang Ke had set up a scheme without saying a word, which made Qiao Liang feel angry, but it was impossible to directly retaliate against Shang Ke.
Back in the county, Qiao Liang immediately called He Qingqing over and conveyed to He Qingqing the content and spirit of the provincial poverty alleviation work conference, and asked He Qingqing to launch questions on counties (cities, districts) that did not meet the poverty alleviation standards in the future.
This undoubtedly increased the pressure on the poverty alleviation work below. However, Qiao Liang was full of confidence in the situation in Liangbei County and said to He Qingqing: "Director He, the province is now preparing to issue specific assessment indicators, so in the future
In the poverty alleviation work, other counties (cities, districts) will definitely work hard, and the pressure on us will also increase. After all, our goal is not just to get rid of the hat of last place, but to strive for the top, so you
The director of the Poverty Alleviation Office must dare to take on important responsibilities."
"County Magistrate Qiao, as long as I am under your leadership, I am confident that we can successfully complete the poverty alleviation work." He Qingqing said with a smile.
"We're talking about business, be serious," Qiao Liang said.
"Okay, then I'll be more serious and ask County Magistrate Qiao to give me a lecture." He Qingqing straightened her face and said solemnly.
"At first glance, it looks like a prude." Qiao Liang said.
"County Magistrate Qiao, let's talk about something serious." He Qingqing lowered her voice and subconsciously looked at the door. After confirming that no one was there, she said, "County Magistrate Qiao, I asked my best friend to check it quietly.
Looking at the trajectory of Deputy County Magistrate Zheng’s private car during the New Year days, we found that the most frequent route his car took during those days was the section from County No. 1 Middle School to the hotel.”
"Oh?" Qiao Liang's eyes darkened, "You mean he picked up the girl named He Xiaomei at County No. 1 Middle School and then went to the hotel?"
"That's right, looking at the trajectory of his vehicle, it's like that." He Qingqing nodded.
Qiao Liang became silent after hearing this. Combining the information he had now, a picture of the truth of the incident was gradually outlined in Qiao Liang's mind: Zheng Dehai did something to the girl named He Xiaomei in County No. 1 Middle School, and He Xiaomei may have done it out of pressure.
Unable to think about it, or for other reasons, he chose to commit suicide by jumping off a building. In this, He Xiaomei's English teacher played an important role.
Seeing Qiao Liang's silence, He Qingqing couldn't help but said: "County Magistrate Qiao, it's obvious now that the death of the girl named He Xiaomei must be related to Deputy County Magistrate Zheng. You still need to investigate this matter.
Going down?"
Hearing He Qingqing's words, Qiao Liang raised his head and glanced at He Qingqing: "Director He, are you trying to provoke me with your words?"
"Don't dare." He Qingqing chuckled, but her eyes were fixed on Qiao Liang. She was really worried that Qiao Liang would let go after knowing that the matter was 100% confirmed to be related to Zheng Dehai, out of the thought of doing more than doing less.
Regardless of this matter.
Qiao Liang was not in a hurry to speak at this moment. Instead, he tapped his hand on the table and began to think silently.
