At the door of the hotel, Qiao Liang waited eagerly for Zheng Guohong's secretary Zhang Shangwen to come over.
Suddenly, Qiao Liang's cell phone rang again. When he heard the call, Qiao Liang quickly took out his cell phone, thinking it was Zhang Shangwen calling again.
But when he saw the caller number, Qiao Liang was stunned for a moment. The caller was not Zhang Shangwen, but another unfamiliar number.
Picking up the question in confusion, Qiao Liang said, "Who is it?"
"County Magistrate Qiao, are you okay?" A joking voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Who are you?" Qiao Liang frowned. He was not familiar with this voice.
"County Magistrate Qiao is such a noble man who forgets things so quickly." Wu Changsheng smiled and introduced himself, "I am Wu Changsheng. I wonder if County Magistrate Qiao has remembered me?"
"Is it you?" Qiao Liang raised his eyebrows, "What do you want from me?"
"Things are fine, but I heard that County Magistrate Qiao seemed to have encountered something tonight..." Wu Changsheng said in an exaggerated manner, "Oh, I heard that the provincial disciplinary department recently set up a special inspection team to go deep into various major halls. The library is investigating the issue of illegal eating, drinking and banquets. Isn’t it possible that County Magistrate Qiao was caught in the crossfire?”
"How do you know?" Qiao Liang asked subconsciously. As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Qiao Liang was startled and said sternly, "Did you set up what happened tonight?"
"County Magistrate Qiao, don't talk nonsense without evidence, or I will sue you for defamation." Wu Changsheng laughed, as if he was deliberately provoking, "County Magistrate Qiao, do you really want to hit someone now?"
Damn it, you Wu Changsheng! Qiao Liang gritted his teeth. He was so angry at this. Although Wu Changsheng did not admit it, Qiao Liang was absolutely certain that what happened tonight was inseparable from Wu Changsheng, otherwise the other party would not be so quick. Knowing that he was investigated by the disciplinary department, this makes sense. Wu Changsheng set up a trap to trap him, and Zhang Baoqing was an accomplice. Otherwise, he and Zhang Baoqing had no grievances in the past and recently, and Zhang Baoqing would not have any grievances at all. Reasons to hurt him.
Qiao Liang didn't say anything. Wu Changsheng continued, "County Magistrate Qiao, is the lesson learned today profound enough? Haha, I have a word for you, don't be too arrogant. You are just a county magistrate, so don't take yourself too seriously."
Qiao Liang looked gloomy and gritted his teeth and said, "Wu Changsheng, I will give you the same words. Don't be too arrogant. Although I am just a county magistrate, you'd better not fall into my hands, otherwise I can still cure you." "
"Really? Then I'll wait." Wu Changsheng sneered, "County Magistrate Qiao, you'd better ask for your blessings first. Hehe, it's still unknown how many days you, the county magistrate, can last."
"Then I won't worry about it. Maybe I can still work as county magistrate for a long time." Qiao Liang snorted coldly.
"County Magistrate Qiao is really confident. Are you just a showman when you serve as the provincial disciplinary department? I think you should wait to be criticized by the province and severely punished by the city." Wu Changsheng said with a smile.
"Then I'll wait." A hint of evil flashed in Qiao Liang's eyes, and she cursed in her heart: Wu Changsheng, I'm not done with you!
At this time, Qiao Liang saw a car drive up and stop. He glanced at the person in the driver's seat and saw that it was Zhang Shangwen. Qiao Liang was too lazy to talk to Wu Changsheng and hung up the phone.
Qiao Liang and Zhang Shangwen had met once before, when Zheng Guohong went to Songbei County for a private visit in private, so he recognized Zhang Shangwen as soon as he saw him.
Zhang Shangwen drove here by himself. After parking the car, Zhang Shangwen got out of the car, smiled and nodded to Qiao Liang and said hello, "County Magistrate Qiao, we meet again."
"Director Zhang, hello, I'm really sorry to ask you to make a trip so late at night." Qiao Liang's attitude was respectful. After all, he was Zheng Guohong's secretary. As the saying goes, the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister, the top secretary, has the weight and Energy cannot be measured by its level.
Zhang Shangwen nodded and said straightforwardly, "County Magistrate Qiao, let's go upstairs first."
Qiao Liang nodded and led the way.
At the other end of the hotel, in the private room where Wu Changsheng and others were drinking, Wu Changsheng held his cell phone and said with a smile, "That Qiao Liang got anxious and hung up on me."
"He must have been in a hurry. He was caught by the provincial disciplinary department, which is enough for him to drink. Later, he might even be stripped of his position as county magistrate." Tian Xiaoyang said with a smile.
Wu Changsheng squinted and smiled. He was already thinking about asking his father to find connections in the city. He would wait until the provincial disciplinary department issued a notice and criticized him. His father could directly remove Qiao Liang from his position by starting with the city.
Wu Changsheng had his own wishful thinking, but he never thought that things might not go as he imagined.
In the hotel where Qiao Liang was staying, Qiao Liang took Zhang Shangwen to the private room. As soon as he entered, Zhang Shangwen looked at the Moutai and seafood dinner on the table and couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
Qiao Liang noticed Zhang Shangwen's expression and said quickly, "Director Zhang, there is actually something hidden about what happened at night."
"Well, Secretary Zheng asked me to understand the situation, County Magistrate Qiao said slowly." Zhang Shangwen calmed down his emotions.
"Director Zhang, this is what happened..." Qiao Liang explained the cause and effect of the matter again.
Zhang Shangwen listened carefully until Qiao Liang finished speaking. A strange look flashed in Zhang Shangwen's eyes. According to Qiao Liang, it was obvious that Qiao Liang was tricked by someone tonight, but now it was all Qiao Liang's one-sided words. , Zhang Shangwen didn't know whether he should believe Qiao Liang, after all, he and Qiao Liang were not familiar with each other, but these were obviously not things that Zhang Shangwen should have a headache about. Zheng Guohong asked him to understand the situation. He only needed to write down the things and go back to follow him. Zheng Guohong can just report it truthfully.
"Director Zhang, this is roughly what happened. I can guarantee with my personality and organizational principles that everything I say is true." Qiao Liang said solemnly.
Zhang Shangwen nodded and said with a smile, "County Magistrate Qiao, I didn't say I didn't believe you. Secretary Zheng asked me to understand the situation. Don't worry, I will truthfully report everything you just said to Secretary Zheng."
"Director Zhang, thank you very much. I'm really sorry that I have to ask you to make a special trip tonight." Qiao Liang apologized.
"It's okay, it's my duty." Zhang Shangwen smiled and Zheng Guohong asked him to come. Not to mention that it was only around seven o'clock, he had to come even in the middle of the night.
After understanding what Qiao Liang said, Zhang Shangwen asked a few more questions and then prepared to go back and report to Zheng Guohong.
At this time, Zhang Shangwen's cell phone rang. Zhang Shangwen glanced at it and saw that it was Zheng Guohong. Zhang Shangwen looked stern and picked up the call immediately.
Zhang Shangwen answered the phone. Zheng Guohong didn't know what he said on the other end. Zhang Shangwen nodded and said yes.
The call between the two was very short. Zhang Shangwen quickly hung up the phone and turned to look at Qiao Liang, "County Magistrate Qiao, you will come with me later. Secretary Zheng wants to see you."
"Secretary Zheng wants to see me?" Qiao Liang looked shocked.
"Well, let's go there right now, don't keep Secretary Zheng waiting," Zhang Shangwen said.
"Okay." Qiao Liang nodded hastily.
Walking out with Zhang Shangwen, Qiao Liang thought of Lu Yucai and quickly turned to Lu Yucai and said, "Director Lu, you go to the hotel to check in first. We will stay in Huangyuan for one night and wait for me to come back later.
, let’s meet again.”
"Okay, okay!" Lu Yu just came back to his senses and nodded hurriedly, feeling very excited. Emma and Zheng Guohong actually want to see Qiao Liang. This is awesome, and it also means that things they encountered tonight have changed for the better!
Qiao Liang got into Zhang Shangwen's car and drove to the provincial compound. After arriving at the compound, Qiao Liang looked up at the office building and asked, "Secretary Zhang, hasn't Secretary Zheng gotten off work yet?"
"No, he is still in the office." Zhang Shangwen said, "It is common for Secretary Zheng to work overtime, but usually if there is nothing else, he will let the staff go home first and will not ask the staff to work overtime together."
"Secretary Zheng is a good leader." Qiao Liang said half-flatteringly.
Zhang Shangwen glanced at Qiao Liang, smiled lightly, and walked ahead to lead the way.
Going upstairs to Zheng Guohong's office, Qiao Liang suddenly became cautious. Zheng Guohong was still reviewing documents. Qiao Liang and Zhang Shangwen waited aside for ten minutes before Zheng Guohong took off his glasses and looked over.
"Secretary Zheng, County Magistrate Qiao is here." Zhang Shangwen said.
"Well, sit down." Zheng Guohong stood up and walked to the sofa in the reception area, motioning for Qiao Liang to sit down.
Qiao Liang walked over, his butt only touching half of the sofa, and sat down carefully.
Zheng Guohong looked at Qiao Liang and said with a smile, "County Magistrate Qiao, I heard from Comrade Gu Feng that you were neither big nor small in his place. Why are you less courageous when you come to my place?"
Hearing Zheng Guohong's words, Qiao Liang's face suddenly became embarrassed. He didn't know what Liao Gufeng had said to Zheng Guohong, but from Zheng Guohong's words, Qiao Liang had a vague feeling that the relationship between Liao Gufeng and Zheng Guohong might be closer than he imagined.
Zheng Guohong then turned to his secretary Zhang Shangwen and asked, "Xiao Zhang, what's going on?"
"Secretary Zheng, the situation I just learned from County Magistrate Qiao is this..." Zhang Shangwen then reported to Zheng Guohong without any embarrassment. After all, Qiao Liang is sitting here, and Zhang Shangwen can be said to have something to say.
, report truthfully.
After listening to the secretary's report, Zheng Guohong frowned slightly, looked at Qiao Liang and said, "Comrade County Magistrate, I have to criticize you. You are responsible for what happened tonight. If you had adhered to your principles, wouldn't these things have happened?
Well, as the old saying goes, flies don't bite seamless eggs. If you stick to your principles, others won't find a chance to frame you."
"Secretary Zheng, you are right in your criticism. I made a principled mistake." Qiao Liang smiled bitterly. In front of Zheng Guohong, he naturally admitted his mistake frankly and did not dare to make any excuses. What's more, Zheng Guohong was right. If he had
If you stick to the principle from the beginning and don't hold a reception banquet that exceeds the standard, there will be nothing to worry about later.
However, despite the fact that this is the case, Qiao Liang is a little unconvinced, because in the system, sometimes it is difficult to get things done if you adhere too much to principles.
Of course, thinking about it in his heart, Qiao Liang was determined not to say it out loud.
