"Secretary Miao, there are many people from construction companies outside, and they want the county to make the decision for them." Ding Ming hurriedly reported the report.
"Construction company?" Miao Peilong looked confused. What kind of trouble are people from the construction company making at this time?
Seeing that Miao Peilong was unclear about the situation, Ding Ming quickly added, "Secretary Miao, it's like this. The Suzutian Investment Company previously held a public bidding for the International Automobile City project. There were hundreds of construction companies that came to bid. At that time, Each company paid a one million yuan bid deposit as required, but now that their money has not been refunded, the people from Suzuda Investment Company have run away, and they have come to the county to demand that our county be responsible for this."
When Miao Peilong heard this, his vision went dark and he almost fainted. Damn it, Suzutian Investment Company defrauded bank loans, but it also defrauded so many companies of their deposits. This... how big of a person does this leave? A mess.
For a moment, Miao Peilong felt his head spinning, and his heart could hardly lift a breath.
"Secretary Miao, are you...are you okay?" Ding Ming was shocked when he saw Miao Peilong's face pale and his body swaying.
"It's okay." Miao Peilong responded feebly, and after a moment's pause, Miao Peilong said, "Let someone send those people from the construction company away. They themselves were defrauded of their deposits by people from Suzuda Investment, and they told us What does the county have to do with it? Tell them not to make unreasonable noises, and call the county bureau to send someone over. Anyone who dares to gather a crowd and make noise in the county compound will be detained directly."
At the end of Miao Peilong's words, his face became extremely gloomy.
Ding Ming was a little hesitant when he heard the words, but seeing Miao Peilong's face looking ugly, Ding Ming didn't dare to say anything at the moment, nodded, turned around and walked out.
At this moment, in Qiao Liang's county magistrate's office, Qiao Liang also knew what happened downstairs. After learning the whole story, Qiao Liang looked solemn. He didn't expect that Lingtian Investment Company had defrauded so much of the deposit.
"Approximately how many companies have been defrauded of their deposits?" Qiao Liang asked his secretary Fu Minghai in the office.
"Preliminary statistics include more than a hundred." Fu Minghai replied.
"More than a hundred, that adds up to a deposit of more than 100 million." Qiao Liang murmured, this is another bad debt.
“The trouble now is that we don’t know how to appease the people of these construction companies. They are clamoring to hold our county responsible, but project bidding is a private behavior of the company and has nothing to do with our county. There is no reason why we have to do it for them. He must keep track of this bad debt," Fu Minghai said.
"Although it has no direct relationship with the county, the county also participated in the promotion of this international automobile city project, and the main leaders of the county attended the signing ceremony. To a certain extent, the county is responsible for this international automobile city. The project is endorsed." Qiao Liang shook his head helplessly. Now that this situation has happened, Qiao Liang felt a strong sense of powerlessness in his heart.
While the two were talking, a more intense quarrel came from downstairs. Qiao Liang went to the window and looked down, and found that it was Miao Peilong's secretary Ding Ming who was instructing the security guards to drive people from the construction company out, causing an argument between the two parties. conflict.
"What is Secretary Ding doing? Isn't this intensifying the conflict?" Fu Minghai walked behind Qiao Liang and also noticed the scene downstairs.
Qiao Liang curled his lips, "This must be Secretary Miao's instruction. Do you think Secretary Ding dares to do this?"
As soon as Qiao Liang finished speaking, the siren rang. Two police cars drove to the gate of the county compound. Seven or eight police officers got out of the car and quickly rushed into the county compound and ordered the people from the construction company to leave immediately.
Seeing this scene, Qiao Liang knew that all this must be Miao Peilong's intention, but Qiao Liang did not stop him. Firstly, it was because Qiao Liang didn't know how to appease those people in the construction company. Secondly, , Qiao Liang knew that the county could not pay for this bad debt, and the construction company's demand must be money, so even if he came forward, it would be of no use as long as he could not promise the county to pay.
After pondering for a moment, Qiao Liang was worried that the conflict downstairs was getting worse, so he ordered Fu Minghai, "Xiao Fu, go down and ask our people to be more restrained, and persuade the people from the construction company to leave, so as not to cause conflicts."
"Okay, I'll go down right now." Fu Minghai nodded quickly.
While Fu Minghai went downstairs, Sun Dongchuan, deputy county magistrate and county bureau director, hurried over to Miao Peilong's side. He brought good news to Miao Peilong as soon as he entered the door, "Secretary Miao, good news."
"What good news?" Miao Peilong looked directly at Sun Dongchuan, with a bit of hope in his eyes, "Did they catch those fraudsters?"
"No." Sun Dongchuan shook his head and smiled bitterly, thinking that everyone had escaped, how could he catch him so easily.
Thinking about it, Sun Dongchuan said immediately, "Secretary Miao, I just got the news from the ministry. The ministry requested the central bank's assistance and found more than a dozen bank accounts related to the fraud gang, and intercepted 8,000 yuan." Thousands of dollars in funding.”
"Really?" Miao Peilong's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked, "Why are there only more than 80 million?"
"Secretary Miao, the rest of the money was transferred abroad by them. The reason why there are more than 80 million left is because there is a single-day limit for cross-border transfers. The fraud gang transferred the money through hundreds of bank accounts, but still An abnormality was detected by the bank's risk control system. After receiving the ministry's co-investigation notice, the bank immediately locked a dozen accounts that still had funds..." Sun Dongchuan explained the general situation to Miao Peilong.
When Miao Peilong heard this, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes, but he finally felt a little better. He nodded and said, "It's not bad. At least we have recovered some losses."
As Miao Peilong was talking, he heard noise coming from downstairs. His face darkened again and his mood became bad again. Hundreds of construction companies were defrauded of nearly 100 million in deposits. He still didn't know how to solve this matter. Well, as for the more than 80 million recovered, it is definitely impossible to use it as compensation to those construction companies. It must be used first to solve the hole in bank loans.
The noise downstairs continued intermittently until about six o'clock in the afternoon. All the talents of the construction company were persuaded to leave. Qiao Liang also received the news from the county bureau. After learning that he had recovered more than 80 million in losses, Qiao Liang Liang breathed a sigh of relief, it was at least better than nothing.
In the evening, Qiao Liang did not go back directly after get off work. Instead, he had dinner in the canteen of the county compound and worked in the office until after eight o'clock before returning to the dormitory.
Xia Xiaohe sent a text message to Qiao Liang. Qiao Liang saw it after returning to the dormitory and sent a text message to Xia Xiaohe. When Xia Xiaohe saw that Qiao Liang had replied to the message, Xia Xiaohe immediately called Qiao Liang.
It turned out that Xia Xiaohe also lived in the county tonight. She was bored and had only Qiao Liang as her classmate. Naturally, she only wanted to find Qiao Liang. Xia Xiaohe did not ask Qiao Liang out, but asked where Qiao Liang lived, saying that she was thinking of Qiao Liang. The Liang family came to visit.
Qiao Liang sent an address to Xia Xiaohe.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, Qiao Liang heard a knock on the door. He walked over and opened the door. It was Xia Xiaohe who stood outside the door.
"You came very quickly." Qiao Liang said as he invited the other party to come in.
"Songbei County is so small, do you think I can't find a place?" Xia Xiaohe said with a smile. When he walked in, he started to look at Qiao Liang's house. When he saw that it was just a simple two-bedroom apartment, Xia Xiaohe said in surprise. , "You, a county magistrate, live here?"
"Otherwise?" Qiao Liang asked with a smile, "Isn't it nice here?"
"It's fine for ordinary people, but I think it's a bit shabby for a big county magistrate like you to live here." Xia Xiaohe said with a smile.
"The county magistrate is also an ordinary person." Qiao Liang smiled slightly.
After pouring a glass of water for Xia Xiaohe, Qiao Liang said, "I thought you had gone back to the crew, but I didn't expect you were still in the county."
"No, I have two days off this time and will not return to the crew until the day after tomorrow. The crew is in the countryside and it is too boring. It is rare for me to take two days off. I want to take a walk in the county town." Xia Xiaohe said with a smile.
The two chatted casually for a few words, and Xia Xiaohe asked with concern, "I see you left in such a hurry at noon, and a large number of police officers came to search the hotel. Is there nothing serious?"
"Something happened in the county." Qiao Liang sighed.
Seeing this, Xia Xiaohe knew that there was nothing he could do to help, so he didn't ask any more questions and turned to look outside. Xia Xiaohe saw that there was a large balcony outside the living room. He couldn't help but get up and walk out. He stretched his arms and said with a smile, "This The balcony is nice and the wind is very comfortable. Hey, there’s also a rocking chair here.”
Qiao Liang followed him out and reminded, "No one has sat on this rocking chair for a long time. It is probably full of dust. Don't sit down on it."
Xia Xiaohe stretched out his hand and touched it. It was really a thick layer of dust. He turned to look at Qiao Liang and said, "When you come back, don't you sit here and relax?"
"Very few. I usually stay in the living room when I come back at night and rarely come out." Qiao Liang said.
Xia Xiaohe nodded, looked at the house opposite, and said a little strangely, "Classmate Qiao Liang, the house opposite you feels a little weird. There are lights inside, but the balcony is sealed tightly with curtains."
"Maybe people are afraid of having their privacy exposed." Qiao Liang said, feeling strange in his heart. He vaguely remembered that when he first moved here, the balcony of the house opposite seemed to have no curtains, and like this community, there were no curtains. It is an old house with an open balcony. Very few people would make curtains on the balcony. Like the building opposite, from the whole building, only the one opposite him has curtains, which makes it look nondescript.
"I don't know if I'm afraid of being secretly photographed by the paparazzi, which is a bit of a conditioned reflex, so when I see this situation, I feel a little nervous, fearing that the paparazzi rented a house opposite and secretly photographed me." Xia Xiaohe said with a smile.
"Really?" Qiao Liang glanced at Xia Xiaohe and said, "No, that's not the case. He felt that Xia Xiaohe's reputation was not that high."
As if he could tell what Qiao Liang was thinking, Xia Xiaohe said, "I had an affair with a very popular male star in the industry before, and during that time I was constantly being secretly photographed by the paparazzi."
Hearing this, Qiao Liang thought about it carefully, and it seemed that there was such a thing. At that time, there were rumors of a relationship between Xia Xiaohe and a very popular A-list young man in the circle. Anyone who paid attention to entertainment news at that time would have seen it.
Thinking about Xia Xiaohe's words, Qiao Liang looked at the house opposite again, feeling a little weird for no reason...
