Qiao Liang came out of the county prosecutor's meeting and passed the International Automobile City construction site. He asked the driver to stop the car again and got out of the car to take a look at the construction site.
Compared with when Qiao Liang came here before, the construction site was very different. Several prefabricated houses where workers lived stood next to the construction site. At the same time, the construction site was already a bustling construction scene. At a glance, it was full of There were hundreds of construction workers, and the rumble of machinery could be heard far away.
"This project seems to have no problems." Fu Minghai stood beside Qiao Liang and whispered.
"Well, no problem is best. It's rare for Songbei to introduce a large foreign investment project, which is a good thing." Qiao Liang nodded.
The reason why Qiao Liang said this was because Miao Peilong had returned from an overseas inspection. The Songbei Business News and the reporters who went out to report had also done a lot of reports. Qiao Liang took a look at the newspaper and saw that there were Miao Peilong and foreign businessmen in it. A group photo in front of the Suzuta Co., Ltd. headquarters building, and a photo of Miao Peilong visiting the Suzuta Co., Ltd. headquarters building. From this point of view, there is not much problem with this project. Qiao Liang thought that he might have been true before I was overly worried, but what I heard from those foreign businessmen on Sleeping Tiger Mountain still made Qiao Liang doubtful.
But now it is obviously not suitable for Qiao Liang to raise any doubts. After all, Miao Peilong has personally visited the overseas headquarters, and the facts have proved that there is no problem. If Qiao Liang raises doubts about this project again, Miao Peilong will definitely really Be anxious with him.
"There are quite a lot of construction workers currently. Judging from the progress of the project, it should be quite fast." Fu Minghai said.
Qiao Liang nodded slightly, suddenly remembered something, and asked, "The Lingtian Investment Company wanted to borrow 500 million yuan from the bank. Wasn't it approved?"
"You asked me to say hello to the bank at that time, and I conveyed your intention to the person in charge of the relevant bank. I also asked a few days ago, and the bank has not approved it for the time being." Fu Minghai replied.
"Well, it's fine if it's not approved." Qiao Liang nodded. He still had some doubts in his heart, so as long as he kept an eye on the bank's loans, even if there were problems with the project in the end, there would probably be no major problems.
"Let's go back." Qiao Liang looked at it for a while, waved to Fu Minghai and said.
Back in the office, Qiao Liang looked at the documents. Near noon, Qiao Liang's cell phone rang. When he saw the caller's number, Qiao Liang was stunned for a moment. It was actually Xia Xiaohe calling.
Qiao Liang didn't have Xia Xiaohe's number originally. They left each other's phone numbers after the previous class reunion. Now Xia Xiaohe called. Qiao Liang thought about what the other party said before that he would come to Songbei to film, and he suddenly understood and picked up the phone. Telephone.
"County Magistrate Qiao Da, are you interrupting your work?" The phone was connected, and Xia Xiaohe's slightly teasing voice came through.
"Is Xiaohe coming to Songbei to film a movie?" Qiao Liang asked with a smile.
"Well, I came here two days ago." Xia Xiaohe nodded.
"Really? Why didn't you contact me directly when you came two days ago? You just called me today." Qiao Liang said with a smile.
"I started filming as soon as I came here two days ago. I was a little tight on time, so I didn't call you. No, I have a break today, so I called my old classmate." Xia Xiaohe said with a smile, "Classmate Qiao Liang, I'm coming to the county seat. Okay, would you like to have lunch together?"
"Okay, my old classmate is here, so I have to serve you well with wine and food as soon as possible. I still hope that you can be our tourism promotion ambassador for Songbei." Qiao Liang said with a smile.
"This matter can be discussed. It depends on how much money you are prepared to pay." Xia Xiaohe said with a smile, "Okay, let's meet and talk about this later. I'm at the Songbei Hotel. You can come directly."
Qiao Liang nodded when he heard this. After hanging up the phone, Qiao Liang took the car directly to the hotel.
Qiao Liang came to the hotel. Xia Xiaohe had already booked a private room. When he entered the private room, Qiao Liang saw that there was another woman besides Xia Xiaohe. Qiao Liang said hello to Xia Xiaohe, turned to look at the woman, and heard Xia Xiaohe introduce, "This He's my agent."
Qiao Liang suddenly realized, smiled and nodded to the woman, and his eyes fell on Xia Xiaohe again.
"Classmate Qiao Liang, are you here alone?" Xia Xiaohe asked with a smile.
"How many people do you think there are?" Qiao Liang asked with a smile.
"It's different from what I imagined. I thought that as the county magistrate, you should be cheered by everyone." Xia Xiaohe pursed his lips and smiled.
"That's your illusion." Qiao Liang smiled.
The two chatted for a while, and Qiao Liang asked Xia Xiaohe what kind of movie he came to Songbei to film. Xia Xiaohe said, "I will shoot a movie about a female college student village official. I will stay in Songbei for the next two or three months." .”
"It sounds like a drama with a main theme. I don't think you would accept such a drama." Qiao Liang said unexpectedly.
"It's normal. This year, many big names on the front line have also taken on roles with this kind of theme. It is said that the superior authorities have given the task and asked the film and television industry to produce more positive works that promote the times this year. Therefore, many film and television companies this year have dedicated A film and television project has been approved, and the drama I took on is the lead role that I finally won, and it will be broadcast on CCTV." Xia Xiaohe said.
Hearing this, Qiao Liang said, "That's a good thing. I have to congratulate you in advance. If it becomes a big hit by then, you will be among the first-tier stars."
"It's not that easy." Xia Xiaohe's eyes dimmed, "I have been in this industry for more than ten years. I have been working as a bit player on the crew since college, looking for resources everywhere. It was not easy to get from a bit actor to where I am today. This A career may seem glamorous, but it’s actually very difficult.”
"At least you are doing better than most people. Many people may not be able to make it through in their lifetime." Qiao Liang said with a smile.
"That's right, people must know how to be content." Xia Xiaohe nodded.
While the two were talking, Qiao Liang secretly looked at Xia Xiaohe. To be honest, it was quite a strange feeling to have someone among his classmates become a star.
While Qiao Liang was looking at Xia Xiaohe, Xia Xiaohe was also looking at Qiao Liang. Just as Qiao Liang didn't expect Xia Xiaohe to become a star, Xia Xiaohe really didn't expect that Qiao Liang would be so successful in his official career. He would become a celebrity at such a young age. After becoming the county magistrate, among the classmates in the class, Qiao Liang is probably the most accomplished now.
"By the way, about the tourism promotion ambassador you mentioned, you can ask people from the relevant departments in your county to talk to my agent later." Xia Xiaohe said proactively at this time.
"Okay, when I get back, I will tell someone from the Bureau of Culture and Broadcasting to contact your agent." Qiao Liang nodded, and half-jokingly said, "Classmate Xiaohe, you will have to give me a friendly price at that time. If it is too expensive, We in Songbei County can’t afford it.”
"Okay, for the sake of our classmates, I will definitely give you a friendship price." Xia Xiaohe said with a smile.
The two were chatting and eating. After a while, Xia Xiaohe's cell phone rang. Xia Xiaohe picked it up and took a look. After seeing the caller's number, he hung up with some boredom.
"Whose call is it? You can answer it outside, it's okay." Qiao Liang said with a smile.
"Zhang Tianfu, you kept calling me after the last class reunion, which is a bit annoying." Xia Xiaohe curled his lips.
"It seems he wants to chase you." Qiao Liang smiled.
"I can't afford the emotional games played by the rich young master." Xia Xiaohe shook his head with a smile.
Qiao Liang was a little surprised when he heard this and said with a smile, "Don't you celebrities all like to marry into wealthy families? Zhang Tianfu's family can be considered a wealthy family. Doesn't it still meet your requirements?"
"Who told you that celebrities like to marry into rich families? That's part of it, okay? You can't kill everyone with one stick, at least I don't care." Xia Xiaohe's mouth was raised, looking unhappy.
"Then I take back what I just said." Qiao Liang smiled.
The two of them talked for a few words, and then the phone rang again, this time it was Qiao Liang's call. When Qiao Liang saw that it was Lu Qian, he immediately picked up the call.
"What's the matter?" Qiao Liang asked politely because there were outsiders present.
On the other end of the phone, Lu Qian obviously had no intention of joking with Qiao Liang, and her voice was serious, "Let me ask you, are there many foreign businessmen coming to your county?"
"Foreign investors? Yes, but which ones are you referring to specifically?" Qiao Liang was stunned when he heard this. Although the only ones he knew about at present were those of Suzutian Investment Company, there should be more than just a few in the huge Songbei County. These few foreign businessmen, Qiao Liang thought, it couldn't be such a coincidence.
"Wait a moment, I'll send you some photos." After speaking, Lu Qian pressed the hands-free button, exited the call interface, and sent a few photos to Qiao Liang.
After receiving the photo sent by Lu Qian, Qiao Liang clicked on it and looked at it. He was stunned for a moment. It was really those foreign businessmen from Suzuta Investment.
A bad premonition flashed through his heart, and Qiao Liang hurriedly asked, "What happened to these foreign businessmen?"
"Our department is currently investigating a fraud case involving a large international fraud gang. Currently, our border department has discovered that several members of the fraud gang have recent entry records, and the investigation shows that they are in Songbei," Lu Qian said. .
"Those photos you just sent are not members of that fraud gang, are they?" Qiao Liang asked urgently.
"Yes, that's them." Lu Qian nodded.
"Are you sure you're right?" Qiao Liang asked again quickly.
"What we found out, do you think it will be wrong?" Lu Qian snorted, and then said, "Now I am just informing you privately. Our ministry is also informing your county bureau through official channels. The top priority is to get those few Detained by members of the fraud gang."
"That's right, I'll call the comrades in the county bureau and we'll contact you later." Qiao Liang nodded hurriedly.
After hanging up the phone, Qiao Liang immediately found the number of Deputy County Magistrate and County Bureau Director Sun Dongchuan and called him. However, at this moment, Sun Dongchuan's phone indicated that the line was busy.
At this moment, Sun Dongchuan was on the phone with Miao Peilong. Miao Peilong did not go home at noon. After lunch in the county canteen, Miao Peilong returned to the office and was making Kung Fu tea leisurely. There was a bunch of tea leaves on the table. A famous businessman gave him the Wuyi Dahongpao, which is said to be the best, costing tens of thousands yuan per kilogram on the market. Miao Peilong is also a good tea person, so he was slowly tasting it.
The cell phone rang, and when Miao Peilong saw that it was Sun Dongchuan, he couldn't help but murmured, wondering why Sun Dongchuan was calling him at noon.
After picking up the phone, Miao Peilong asked, "Dongchuan, what's going on?"
"Secretary Miao, what's wrong, those foreign businessmen are members of a fraud gang..." Sun Dongchuan said anxiously on the other end of the phone.
a bolt from the blue!
With a "pop" sound, the tea cup in Miao Peilong's hand fell to the ground...
