Hearing Qiao Liang ask this, He Qingqing smiled and said: "County Magistrate Shang was also arrested. It was reported from above. The specific reason was not mentioned above. This matter has not been announced to the outside world. It has only been reported internally."
"No wonder I didn't see this when I watched the news tonight." Qiao Liang suddenly realized.
"Because the news has not been announced to the public, the county does not allow public discussion. But I just saw the news about Liu Changxing's accident. I suddenly understood it and asked for help. Maybe County Magistrate Shang's accident happened with his uncle Liu Changxing.
Related." He Qingqing said.
Hearing this, Qiao Liang smiled disapprovingly and said: "It's hard to say which one of them is involved in the other. Anyway, neither of them are good birds. Maybe each of them has serious problems."
"Maybe." He Qingqing nodded, her eyes still on her mobile phone. Liu Changxing's accident may bring another violent storm to the northwest.
Not sure what he was thinking of, He Qingqing looked at Qiao Liang: "County Chief Qiao, if you are promoted to serve as Liangbei County Chief, will you stay?"
"Why did you suddenly think of asking this?" Qiao Liang glanced at He Qingqing, "If your hypothesis is not true, then I don't have an answer."
"What if it happens? Will you stay?" He Qingqing looked at Qiao Liang with hopeful eyes.
"It's hard for me to answer you this question. To be honest, I have a lot of feelings for Liangbei, but there are family and friends in Jiangzhou that I can't let go of, so I may still choose to go back." Qiao Liang said.
"I guess you can't stay. Liangbei is a poor and remote area after all. How can it compare with the rich eastern areas like Jiangzhou." He Qingqing said to herself.
"Director He, if I don't stay, it's not because I dislike Liangbeiqiong, but because I can't let go of my family and friends in Jiangzhou." Qiao Liang said with a helpless smile.
"I understand, I just said this, don't take it to heart." He Qingqing smiled and said with some emotion, "Time flies so fast, and before you know it, you have been working in Liangbei for a year."
"Yes, very soon. When I think back to the time when I first came here, it still seems like yesterday." Qiao Liang was also sighing. The scene when he first arrived in the northwest appeared in front of his eyes like a movie scene. Qiu Shu Gang published the first article. The memory is still fresh.
.
"When you first came to Liangbei, you beat up County Magistrate Shang. You saved me that time." He Qingqing stared at Qiao Liang blankly, with an inexplicable look in his eyes.
Qiao Liang recalled the scene at that time and couldn't help but laugh: "I didn't know Shang Ke at that time. I just thought he was a thug who bullied women. When I saw that scene, I didn't care about anything. If I caught him, I would beat him."
.”
"If time had to go over again and you knew Shang Ke's identity in advance, would you still do that?" He Qingqing looked at Qiao Liang with burning eyes.
"Then I will definitely do that. The road is uneven, not to mention the bullying of men and women. If I don't even have the courage to stand up, then am I still a man?" Qiao Liang said.
"This is what makes you different." He Qingqing murmured in a low voice.
The two were chatting, and the time came to past ten o'clock before they knew it. Seeing that it was getting late, Qiao Liang said to He Qingqing: "You should go back to the hotel and rest early. You don't have to accompany me."
"That's not possible. Secretary Ding gave me the task of taking care of you before I came here. If I run back to the hotel to sleep at night, how can I be called to take care of you?" He Qingqing shook her head repeatedly.
"Just take care of her during the day, but not at night. There are nurses here 24 hours a day. It's useless for you to stay here. Your hard work is in vain," Qiao Liang said.
While the two were talking, someone opened the door and came in from outside the ward. When He Qingqing saw it was Liu Ying, he was surprised and stood up: "Mr. Liu, you are here so late..."
"I made some soup for Qiao Liang and brought it to him as a midnight snack," Liu Ying said.
Hearing Liu Ying's words, a strange look flashed in He Qingqing's eyes. He looked at Qiao Liang and then at Liu Ying, looking back and forth between the two of them.
Qiao Liang was also a little surprised and said: "Mr. Liu, you are too polite."
"You're not polite. You just woke up after the operation. Your body is weak, so you should take more supplements." Liu Ying smiled slightly, "Also, don't always keep talking about Mr. Liu. It's too unreasonable. I
My family and friends around me are all used to calling me Xiaoying, if you want, you can."
"Okay, then I'll call you Xiaoying." Qiao Liang smiled nonchalantly. He didn't care too much about the title, but Liu Ying's enthusiasm for him made him feel a little strange. But if he thought about it carefully, Liu Ying was right.
There are actually clues to his change in attitude, first published by Qiu Shu Bang. Ever since he was willing to replace Liu Ying as a kidnapper with himself more than two months ago, Liu Ying's attitude towards him has become different.
From time to time, she would send him a text message to inquire about his welfare, and her attitude became obviously closer. Not to mention that she was hospitalized this time, and Liu Ying was even more attentive and caring.
"This is the pigeon soup I just made. Drink it while it's hot. I heard it's good for post-operative patients to drink some pigeon soup. Drink more." Liu Ying opened the insulator, poured out the pigeon soup, and brought it to Qiao
In front of Liang.
"How embarrassing, I let you cook in person." Qiao Liang was quite flattered.
"We're seeing each other again, aren't we?" Liu Ying smiled slightly, "Drink, why are you being polite to me?"
Not only was Qiao Liang a little uncomfortable with Liu Ying's natural approach, He Qingqing on the side was even looking around wildly, looking between Qiao Liang and Liu Ying.
Liu Ying didn't care about this. She sat on the chair beside the hospital bed naturally and looked at Qiao Liang: "Do you want me to feed you?"
"No, no, no, I'll do it myself." Qiao Liang waved her hands hurriedly.
"Then drink it while it's hot." Liu Ying said with a smile.
The three of them sat together and chatted. He Qingqing looked at Liu Ying and suddenly felt that she was a bit redundant here, and she felt a little sour in her heart.
"Director He, you can go back and rest first, and I will take care of Qiao Liang." Liu Ying turned to He Qingqing at this time.
"It's okay, I'm not tired. Besides, I came to Jincheng with a mission, and my responsibility is to take good care of County Magistrate Qiao." He Qingqing said.
"Actually, you don't need to stay with me here. There is no use for you even if the nurse is here." Qiao Liang said.
Hearing Qiao Liang's words, Liu Ying smiled and said nothing, but had no intention of leaving.
When He Qingqing saw this, she was determined not to leave. Her thoughts were very simple, she just didn't want Liu Ying and Qiao Liang to be alone together.
The three of them sat and talked like this. After an unknown amount of time, the door was opened again, and this time it was Liao Gufeng and his wife who came in.
When Qiao Liang saw it was Liao Gufeng, he was stunned for a moment, and then he was about to get out of bed. When Liao Gufeng saw it, he walked over quickly and said: "Xiao Qiao, lie down."
"Secretary Liao, why are you here?" Qiao Liang was very surprised. He felt that Liao Gufeng should be busy at this time. After all, he had just seen the news about Liu Changxing's accident, and Liao Gufeng might have to preside over an emergency meeting overnight.
"I just finished the meeting. I originally wanted to see you tomorrow. After thinking about it, I decided to come over now." Liao Gufeng smiled slightly and looked at Qiao Liang. "Seeing that you are so energetic, I feel relieved."
"Thank you, Secretary Liao. I heard that it was you who gave the order to transfer me to Jincheng for treatment. Thank you." Qiao Liang said gratefully.
"We haven't seen each other for a while, and you've already broken up with me?" Liao Gufeng looked at Qiao Liang and said with a smile, "You were very thick-skinned when you asked me for funding."
Hearing this, Qiao Liang scratched his head in embarrassment, but he was very moved in his heart. Liao Gufeng still thought about him and cared about him despite his busy schedule. I am afraid that few people in the northwest can enjoy such treatment as him, and Qiao Liang
He knew in his heart that Liao Gufeng's care and love for him was not just because of Lu Qian.
Because Liao Gufeng came over, He Qingqing and Liu Ying couldn't stay any longer. They were both particularly uncomfortable being in the same room as Liao Gufeng, so they said goodbye and left. Especially He Qingqing, who looked at Qiao Liang with eyes filled with envy.
, Liao Gufeng personally ordered Qiao Liang to be sent to Jincheng for treatment before, and she knew that Liao Gufeng must value Qiao Liang very much. Now she will see with her own eyes Liao Gufeng's cordial attitude towards Qiao Liang, as well as the tone and demeanor of his words, He Qingqing
I was quite shocked. Liao Gufeng was not just admiring or valuing Qiao Liang, but more like the love and care of an elder to a younger one.
He Qingqing and Liu Ying left, and Lu Qian's mother walked to the side and sat down, muttering: "Old Liao, have you seen that this girl named Liu treats Xiao Qiao differently? She doesn't even look at Xiao Qiao.
Same."
Liao Gufeng didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard this, and said: "Okay, Xiao Qiao is still recovering from his injuries, so don't talk about that."
Qiao Liang also smiled bitterly and did not dare to say anything. He could tell now that Lu Qian's mother was trying to defend Lu Qian. At the same time, she seemed to be sending him some signal, vaguely telling him not to eat the food in the bowl.
In the pot.
"Xiao Qiao, you performed very well this time. You did not embarrass your group of temporary cadres from Jiangdong. To be precise, you gave them glory." Liao Gufeng said sternly.
"Secretary Liao, this is what I should do. It's not about gaining glory or not. When I saw the pillar falling, I just wanted to save the old lady and didn't think too much about it." Qiao Liang said seriously.
replied.
"This is your innocent heart." Liao Gufeng looked at Qiao Liang with admiration, "A person's instinctive reaction can better reveal a person's nature, good job."
"Secretary Liao, please stop praising me. If you praise me again, I will be confused." Although Qiao Liang was a little embarrassed, he grinned happily.
"Then let's stop boasting and let's talk about business with you." Liao Gufeng smiled slightly and said, "Xiao Qiao, you were seriously injured this time, and the injured part was on your head. Please help me start. After you were just sent to Jincheng for treatment,
At that time, I also asked the doctor about your condition. The doctor said that although you are no longer in serious trouble, you still need to pay attention to rest for a period of time after you are discharged from the hospital. You should not do too tiring work. Considering your physical condition, you should go back to work as a doctor.
The deputy county magistrate in charge of poverty alleviation is working too hard, so I plan to change your job for you."
"What job do you want to change?" Qiao Liang asked blankly.
"I plan to let you be my secretary, are you willing?" Liao Gufeng said with a smile.
Hearing Liao Gufeng's words, Qiao Liang was stunned. This was too sudden and he was completely unprepared.
