Seemingly reading what Qiao Liang was thinking, Zheng Guohong smiled slightly and said, "Comrade County Magistrate, you seem a little dissatisfied?"
"No, no, Secretary Zheng, how could I have that thought?" Qiao Liang waved his hands repeatedly, but was shocked in his heart. He raised his head and glanced at Zheng Guohong, only to see Zheng Guohong's eyes burning brightly. Qiao Liang felt as if he had been seen through.
Zheng Guohong looked at Qiao Liang with a smile. He had struggled all the way through the system and had met countless people. How could Qiao Liang's little tricks be hidden from him? However, Zheng Guohong did not take it seriously. Understand that when the water is clear, there will be no fish. To survive in the system, you must adhere to principles and know how to be tactful. This is why many people advocate the golden mean, because it is easy to break if it is too rigid, but obviously it will not work if it is too tactful. .
Zheng Guohong didn't care about it and asked instead, "You said you came to the provincial capital this time to fund the provincial education project subsidy?"
"Well, there is an education project in our county that I want to apply for provincial funding subsidies." Qiao Liang nodded and glanced at Zheng Guohong calmly. Thinking that Zheng Guohong had already asked about this matter, Qiao Liang couldn't help but feel bold. He said, "Secretary Zheng, it would be great if you could help us inform the relevant departments about this matter. To be honest, the educational conditions in Songbei County are very poor and we really need the support of the province."
"Haha, Comrade County Magistrate, you are good at beating snakes and catching them with a stick." Zheng Guohong smiled and pointed at Qiao Liang. He just asked, and Qiao Liang immediately took the idea to him. He is indeed very courageous. , ordinary department-level cadres were trembling with fear when they saw him, but Qiao Liang, apart from being cautious just now, felt bolder now.
Qiao Liang continued, "Secretary Zheng, what I said is true. The educational development in Songbei County is relatively lagging behind. Although our county also wants to increase investment in education, it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. We really need the provincial government to support.”
"So as soon as the provincial documents came out, you, the county magistrate, personally brought the comrades from the Education Bureau to establish relations?" Zheng Guohong asked.
"Well, I just thought that there would be too much food for the monks, so as soon as the provincial documents came out yesterday, I hurriedly brought the responsible comrades from the Education Bureau to Huangyuan today, for fear that I would be late and not even be able to drink soup." Qiao Liang Scratching his head.
Listening to Qiao Liang's words, Zheng Guohong smiled lightly and couldn't help but look at Qiao Liang with a bit of admiration. He liked young cadres who were able to do things and wanted to do things. In the past, when he was in the ministry, he paid great attention to cultivating the younger generation. cadres are now transferred to Jiangdong Province. His instructions to the organizational department are also to select cadres according to this guide. While ensuring that there are no problems with the cadres' organization and moral character, they must actively promote and dare to promote young cadres to important positions. First, give young cadres more opportunities to practice. Although he has not been in charge of Jiangdong Province for a long time, the province's cadre selection mechanism has actually been slowly changing according to his will.
And tonight, the reason why Zheng Guohong decided to meet Qiao Liang on the spur of the moment was actually because of Liao Gufeng. He had heard Liao Gufeng mention Qiao Liang more than once, especially since Liao Gufeng had beaten him several times specifically for Qiao Liang. The phone call made Zheng Guohong very curious about Qiao Liang. There must be something special about a young cadre who can make a senior official like Liao Gufeng care and value him so much. Therefore, after answering Liao Gufeng's call in the evening, he originally just asked his secretary to come over. After understanding the situation, Zheng Guohong suddenly changed his mind and decided to meet Qiao Liang on a whim.
Although the simple side does not reveal anything special about Qiao Liang, due to Liao Gufeng's previous recommendation and Liao Gufeng's love for Qiao Liang, Zheng Guohong also had some preconceived impressions of Qiao Liang, which is a big factor. Part of it was influenced by Liao Gufeng.
After Qiao Liang requested support for education projects in Songbei County, Zheng Guohong did not agree directly, but said, "Comrade County Chief, if your county wants to apply for provincial funding subsidies, you still have to follow the procedures. We cannot do anything that violates principles like this time again."
"No, Secretary Zheng, don't worry, there will never be a next time." Qiao Liang assured, patting her chest.
"Haha, I'll keep it in mind for you then." Zheng Guohong smiled and turned to look at his secretary Zhang Shangwen, "Secretary Zhang, please pay attention to the Songbei project application later."
"Okay." Zhang Shangwen nodded quickly.
Qiao Liang was overjoyed when he heard this. Although Zheng Guohong did not express his position directly, he asked his secretary to pay attention. This was obviously taking care of Songbei in disguise. Later, Zhang Shangwen helped follow the progress of the project application, and the matter was almost confirmed.
At this time, Zheng Guohong said again, "As for what happened to you tonight, I will discuss the situation with the comrades in the disciplinary department. Comrade Xiao Qiao, I hope you will not do it again next time."
Just now Zheng Guohong called Comrade Qiao Liang County Magistrate, and now he calls Comrade Xiao Qiao. I wonder if there is anything contained in this subtle change of title.
"Secretary Zheng, don't worry, I will never do it again." Qiao Liang said solemnly with a hint of joy in his eyes.
Zheng Guohong nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, there's nothing else to do. You go back first and work hard... By the way, Comrade Xiao Qiao, I remember there was a newspaper saying that you are the youngest county magistrate in Jiangdong Province. If you, the youngest county magistrate, can do anything great, I believe many people are watching, so don’t pull your crotch."
"Secretary Zheng, don't worry, I will definitely work hard." Qiao Liang looked solemn. At this time, he did not dare to say anything big and could only go all out in his future work.
Zheng Guohong nodded and then stood up.
Qiao Liang knew it was time to leave and stood up.
At this time, Zheng Guohong raised his hand and patted Qiao Liang's shoulder and said, "The future is yours, young people, work hard."
Qiao Liang nodded subconsciously. Zheng Guohong's seemingly natural but intimate gesture made Qiao Liang feel flattered for a moment.
On the side, Zhang Shangwen glanced at Qiao Liang in surprise, and secretly fell in love with Qiao Liang. Someone who can make the leader look at him differently is obviously worthy of his more attention.
Zheng Guohong went back to work at his desk, and Zhang Shangwen sent Qiao Liang downstairs and said, "County Magistrate Qiao, I'll drive you back to the hotel."
"No, Director Zhang, I've already troubled you a lot tonight, and I don't dare to trouble you anymore," Qiao Liang said.
"It's okay, I was going back anyway, so I'll take you back to the hotel and follow me home." Zhang Shangwen laughed, "Don't be polite to me, County Magistrate Qiao."
Seeing Zhang Shangwen say this, Qiao Liang did not refuse.
After getting in the car, Zhang Shangwen started the car and said, "County Magistrate Qiao, the number I called you at night is my personal phone number. Magistrate Qiao can save it and call me if you need anything in the future." Telephone."
"Okay." Qiao Liang nodded. He could feel that Zhang Shangwen's attitude towards him had become much closer. This change undoubtedly came from Zheng Guohong's attitude towards him.
Thinking about tonight's meeting with Zheng Guohong, Qiao Liang was still a little excited. Although the meeting with Zheng Guohong was not long, or even just a few simple conversations, Qiao Liang knew very well that from now on, he would be a real person.
Zheng Guohong has entered Zheng Guohong's sight. After all, there are so many division-level cadres in the province, how many of them can have such an opportunity for Zheng Guohong to meet him alone?
At the same time, Qiao Liang also knew that a large part of the reason why he received such preferential treatment from Zheng Guohong was because of Liao Gufeng. Without Liao Gufeng, how would Zheng Guohong treat a small division-level cadre like him differently?
Turning to look at Zhang Shangwen who was driving, Qiao Liang thought that another gain tonight was to get to know Zhang Shangwen, and Zhang Shangwen's words just now clearly contained some goodwill, so he can find more opportunities to talk to him in the future.
When dealing with Zhang Shangwen, if anything happens in the future, you can even go to Zhang Shangwen directly.
Zhang Shangwen sent Qiao Liang to the hotel, exchanged greetings for a few words, and then left.
Qiao Liang called Lu Yucai, asked for the room number Lu Yucai had booked, and entered the hotel.
In the corridor upstairs, Lu Yucai was waiting at the elevator entrance. When he saw Qiao Liang coming out, Lu Yucai immediately went up to meet him and asked impatiently, "How are you, County Magistrate Qiao?"
"How about what?" Qiao Liang asked.
"Didn't Secretary Zheng meet you? Has our matter been resolved?" Lu Yucai looked at Qiao Liang hopefully.
"What do you think?" Qiao Liang asked with a smile.
"I guess it's solved, right?" Lu Yucai looked at Qiao Liang cautiously, fearing that Qiao Liang would give him a negative look.
Qiao Liang smiled and said, "Since you think it's solved, isn't it over? It's time to eat and sleep. Let's go home tomorrow."
Hearing Qiao Liang's answer, Lu Yucai felt reassured. A big stone finally fell to the ground in his heart, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
Accompanying Qiao Liang to the room, Lu Yucai suddenly asked, "County Magistrate Qiao, we are going back tomorrow. What should we do about applying for project funding subsidies?"
"Why, do you still want to beg that Director Zhang?" Qiao Liang glanced at Lu Yucai.
"No, that's not what I meant. It's just that I feel a little unwilling to go back like this. Not only was our trip in vain, we almost suffered a serious crime." Lu Yucai said.
"Don't worry about the project. We just need to apply according to the procedures. There should be no problem." Qiao Liang said confidently.
"Oh?" Lu Yucai glanced at Qiao Liang doubtfully and hesitated, "I'm afraid that Director Zhang will turn around and deliberately block our project."
"Hmph, I hope he has the guts then." Qiao Liang snorted coldly. Zhang Shangwen would personally interrogate the project they applied for in Songbei. He didn't believe that Zhang Baoqing dared to deliberately stumble unless he didn't want to get involved.
Seeing that Qiao Liang was so confident, Lu Yucai guessed that it must be related to Qiao Liang's meeting with Secretary Zheng Guohong just now. This surprised and delighted Lu Yucai. However, seeing that Qiao Liang had no intention of saying more, Lu Yucai was very sensible and didn't ask any more questions.
At this moment, Qiao Liang thought that the real mastermind behind Zhang Baoqing's trap that night was probably Wu Changsheng. Although Qiao Liang also hated Zhang Baoqing with a passion, it was obviously Wu Changsheng who he hated even more.
This bastard must find an opportunity to deal with him!
