Qiao Liang was lost in thought while holding his briefcase. He knew that as long as he remained silent, the five hundred thousand was his. This was the benefit of power.
Qiao Liang was in a daze. This was the first time he felt that he already had huge power in his hands. Even if he wanted to, today's five hundred thousand was just the beginning, and more five hundred thousand would enter his pocket later.
What kind of life he wants to live depends only on his thoughts.
Not sure how much time had passed, Qiao Liang let out a breath, put down his briefcase, picked up the landline on the table and made an intercom call: "Director Xu, come in."
Xu Chan came over quickly and asked: "County Magistrate Qiao, what's the matter?"
"Did Mr. Jiang go far away just now? He left something behind. Call him back right away." Qiao Liang said.
"Ah?" Xu Chan was stunned and said, "Mr. Jiang has left."
"Do you have his phone number? Give me his phone number." Qiao Liang said.
"I'll look for it. There should be one over there in the office." Xu Chan replied. After all, Jiang Hui is a well-known figure in Songbei County, so it's not difficult to find his phone number.
Xu Chan went out to look for it, and returned shortly after, handed Qiao Liang a note, and said: "County Magistrate Qiao, this is Mr. Jiang's phone number."
"Well, it's okay. You can go and do your work first." Qiao Liang waved his hand, picked up the phone and dialed Jiang Hui's number.
The phone rang for a while, and when Jiang Hui picked up the phone, Qiao Liang said, "Mr. Jiang, you left something in my office."
"No, County Magistrate Qiao, did you make a mistake?" Jiang Hui said.
"Mr. Jiang, are you sure you don't have it?" Qiao Liang laughed.
"County Magistrate Qiao, it's true, I have all my belongings with me." Jiang Hui continued to act stupid.
Qiao Liang smiled: "Mr. Jiang, when you came into my office, did you bring a black briefcase? If this briefcase is not yours, I will send it to the disciplinary inspection office. Some of it is quite valuable.
I’m afraid I won’t be able to explain it clearly if I put it in my office later.”
"Oh, look at my record, County Magistrate Qiao, that briefcase belongs to me. Is there a lot of cash in it? That's the cash I went to the bank to withdraw in the morning to pay the workers' salaries. Tsk, I actually gave it to them.
I forgot about you. It seems that my forgetfulness is getting worse and worse. I will go back and get it right away." Jiang Hui slapped his forehead hard with a "pop" sound, as if he really just remembered it.
Hearing what the other party said, Qiao Liang curled his lips and hung up the phone. This Jiang Hui was also a master of acting.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, Jiang Hui came over and said as soon as he entered the door: "County Magistrate Qiao, I'm really sorry. I don't know what's going on recently. I'm forgetting more and more. My daughter-in-law even said that I don't know what's going on."
I know if I have Alzheimer's disease, I often forget this and that. Fortunately, I forgot this money in County Magistrate Qiao's office. If it had been left somewhere else, I'm afraid the five hundred thousand would have been gone long ago, and I would have lost money.
It’s terrible.”
"Well, luckily it's mine." Qiao Liang glanced at Jiang Hui meaningfully, "Mr. Jiang, please have more snacks next time. With so much money, how can you just forget about it?"
"Yes, that's what County Magistrate Qiao said." Jiang Hui smiled and walked over, picked up the briefcase, and said, "County Magistrate Qiao, I'm leaving then. Thank you."
"Mr. Jiang, you're welcome." Qiao Liang said calmly.
Watching Jiang Hui leave, the smile on Qiao Liang's face gradually disappeared. How could Qiao Liang not see what Jiang Hui did? He was testing him!
How brave! A trace of anger flashed in Qiao Liang's eyes. The other party dared to test him like this. In addition to being bold, there was also a hint of contempt.
After pondering for a moment, Qiao Liang called Xu Chan in again and said: "Director Xu, please ask Ling Jian to come to me."
"Okay." Xu Chan nodded, with a flash of surprise in his eyes. Qiao Liang had just taken office, so why did he see Ling Hongwei so often?
Xu Chan was full of doubts, but she didn't show it on her face. She quickly walked out to inform Ling Hongwei.
Ling Hongwei arrived a little slowly. Qiao Liang waited for almost an hour before Ling Hongwei rushed over.
"County Magistrate Qiao, I'm sorry to keep you waiting." Ling Hongwei explained as soon as he entered the door, "I went with Vice President Wei this morning to visit the female patient who complained about his harassment before. When I received the notice from the office,
I'm still in the country and my journey has been delayed."
"It's okay." Qiao Liang waved his hand and asked, "You and Vice President Wei went down, did you find anything?"
"Yes." Ling Hongwei nodded and said, "The female patient who complained to Vice President Wei before, the address she left was fake, and the number she called on her phone was already empty."
"So, there is something really fishy about this matter." Qiao Liang nodded, "It seems that Vice President Wei was really wronged."
"Well, it should be." Ling Hongwei nodded and said with a smile, "Knowing that I was coming to see you, Vice President Wei hesitated several times, wanting to say something but not daring to say it, but I understand what he meant. He wanted to
Can you help him cancel his punishment first?"
"As long as he is wrongly accused, it is reasonable to revoke his punishment." Qiao Liang said.
"County Magistrate Qiao, I'm afraid this matter is not that simple. The female patient who complained against her has disappeared and things will be difficult to handle. If we want to prove that Vice President Wei was wronged, the female patient is the key." Ling Hongwei said.
.
Hearing this, Qiao Liang thought for a while and said: "Actually, the root cause of Vice President Wei's matter still lies in the inpatient building project. As long as the corruption problem in the hospital's inpatient building is found out, I think Vice President Wei's matter will be solved naturally.
Solved."
"That's true." Ling Hongwei frowned slightly.
"Ling Jian, do you have any ideas for investigation now?" Qiao Liang looked at Ling Hongwei.
"It's actually not difficult to investigate. We can just send an investigation team there." Ling Hongwei said.
"As you said, I'm afraid it's not that easy." Qiao Liang shook his head and said, "Do you know who came to my place just now?"
"who?"
"Jiang Hui."
"He?" Ling Hongwei was surprised, "He dares to come to you?"
"No, not only did you dare to come, but you also left five hundred thousand." Qiao Liang laughed and briefly explained what had just happened.
When Ling Hongwei heard this, he said angrily: "This Jiang Hui is so brave. He dares to bribe you so blatantly."
"It's true to say he's brave, but there's no evidence to say he paid bribes." Qiao Liang smiled, "They said it was money for workers' wages and was just left in my office. What else can you say?"
"Only a ghost can believe what he says." Ling Hongwei's eyes narrowed slightly, "County Magistrate Qiao, it seems that we went to the county hospital last night, so we might have shocked them."
"Well, I think so too. This just shows that they have something up their sleeves. In my opinion, this inpatient building project not only has problems, but it is also a big problem." Qiao Liang said.
"County Magistrate Qiao, how about this? You give the order and I personally bring an investigation team into the hospital to investigate." Ling Hongwei said.
When Qiao Liang heard this, he was a little hesitant. After thinking about it, he said, "That's okay. Let's go check it out directly to avoid wasting time."
Seeing Qiao Liang nodding, Ling Hongwei's expression perked up: "Okay, I'll do it right away."
At this time, Qiao Liang thought of what Jiang Xiuxiu had said about Ling Hongwei before, and couldn't help but asked worriedly: "Ling Jian, do you have anyone reliable under you?"
"Don't worry, County Magistrate Qiao. Although I'm not as good at speaking now as I used to be, I have been working for so many years and there are always a few caring people around me." Ling Hongwei said with a smile.
"That's okay." Qiao Liang nodded.
"County Magistrate Qiao, I will go back first." Ling Hongwei said.
Qiao Liang sent Ling Hongwei to the door. At this moment, he did not expect that asking Ling Hongwei to take people to the hospital to investigate a project that might involve corruption would also stir up a hornet's nest.
In the afternoon, when Qiao Liang was still in the office, a call came from the commission office, saying that Miao Peilong asked Qiao Liang to come over.
When Qiao Liang saw Miao Peilong taking the initiative to look for him, he felt a little confused. He put down what he was doing and hurried over. Thinking of some scenes of interactions with Miao Peilong in the past, Qiao Liang was still a little excited. The former brother Miao was in his heart.
The image is very high, but there is a misunderstanding between the two. Miao Peilong has a big opinion against him. Qiao Liang is actually a little depressed. He is still thinking about whether he can have a good relationship with Miao Peilong, and now Miao Peilong
Long took the initiative to find him, and Qiao Liang thought that maybe this was an opportunity. If the relationship between him and Miao Peilong could return to the past, then the two of them now work together as a team and cooperate with each other. Why not develop Songbei into a new situation?
.
When he came to Miao Peilong's office, Qiao Liang was still thinking about whether he could repair the relationship with Miao Peilong. Little did he know that Miao Peilong gave him a cold face when he came up: "Comrade Qiao Liang, what are you doing? As the county magistrate, you cannot
Do your job well and why bother with other messy things?"
Qiao Liang didn't expect Miao Peilong to scold him right away. He breathed softly and said calmly: "Secretary Miao, I don't know what you are talking about."
"You don't know what I said?" Miao Peilong laughed angrily, "Comrade Qiao Liang, are you pretending to be stupid, or do you really not know?"
"Secretary Miao, just say it clearly what you want to say. There is no need to play riddles." Qiao Liang said coldly.
"Okay, then I'll make it clear." Miao Peilong snorted and said, "I heard that you instructed Ling Hongwei to go to the county hospital to investigate the new inpatient building project. Let me ask you, what do you want to do? You
Did you come here just to shake things up in Songbei? Or do you want to prove that you are more capable than anyone else?"
"Secretary Miao, if you want to say that, then I have nothing to say." Qiao Liang frowned. "What can you say? I think you have a guilty conscience. You just want to prove that you are capable, but you just want to be in the limelight."
, you had this problem before, but now, I thought you would change it, but I didn’t expect that you are now the county magistrate, and the bad problem is still there." Miao Chunlong said unceremoniously.
When Kailiang heard this, he immediately became angry: "Miao Nei Ji, please respect yourself and pay attention to the way you speak. You are a leader with a beard and status in Songbei County, not a rogue in the market."
"What did you say??" Miao Peilong's eyes widened.
"Do you want me to repeat it again?" Qiliang looked at Miao Peilong not to be outdone.
The two stared at each other, and the air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder.
