After understanding what Wen Yuan meant, Qiao Liang felt angry. At this moment, how could Qiao Liang not understand that Wen Yuan was trying to excuse Tang Xiaofei? Cooperate!
With a sneer, Qiao Liang looked directly at Wen Yuan, "Commissioner, I'm really sorry. I didn't receive a report from Deputy County Magistrate Tang about the reservoir collapse incident two days ago."
"County Magistrate Qiao, are you serious?" Wen Yuan raised his voice and stared directly at Qiao Liang.
"Literature inspection, it's true there isn't one." Qiao Liang shook his head again.
"County Magistrate Qiao, have you been so busy these past two days that you forgot about it? Think about it again." Wen Yuan's face turned ugly and he pointedly said, "Secretary Luo is very angry about this incident. County Qiao Don’t you want to calm down Secretary Luo’s anger?”
"It's understandable that Secretary Luo is angry, but Secretary Luo is angry, why do you want me to lie?" Qiao Liang blinked and tore open the fig leaf.
"..." Now it was Wen Yuan's turn to be dumbfounded. He looked at Qiao Liang blankly. He didn't expect Qiao Liang to bring this matter up so bluntly. Damn, everyone is a cadre of a certain level. It's not good to be subtle when speaking. ? Damn it, you have to tell the truth.
Being treated like this by Qiao Liang, Wen Yuan couldn't get off the stage. He turned coldly and looked at Qiao Liang, "County Magistrate Qiao, what do you mean? Who told you to lie?"
"Inspector, didn't you just want me to lie? And you also used Secretary Luo to pressure me." Qiao Liang continued to act stupid and glanced at Wen Yuan secretly, thinking that I will make you mad.
Hearing Qiao Liang's words, Wen Yuan almost exploded with anger, staring at Qiao Liang with burning eyes, "County Magistrate Qiao, I never said that, please don't talk nonsense."
"Wenjian, didn't you mean that just now?" Qiao Liang said with a smile.
"County Magistrate Qiao, if you say this, then we can't talk." Wen Yuan stood up angrily, without even looking at Qiao Liang, he waved his hands and left.
Seeing that Wen Yuan was gone, Qiao Liang was too lazy to stay any longer, so he came out of the room, went downstairs, and left in a car.
Upstairs, Wen Yuan stood in front of the window, silently watching Qiao Liang's car leave with a gloomy look on his face.
Taking out his cell phone, Wen Yuan dialed Luo Fei's number.
When the call was connected, Wen Yuan immediately showed a respectful look on his face, "Secretary Luo, I just talked with Qiao Liang, and Qiao Liang did not cooperate."
"What did he say?"
"He said he didn't want to lie, and said I was threatening him with you."
"How dare this kid say that!" Luo Fei gritted his teeth.
"No, he doesn't take you seriously at all." Wen Yuan fanned the flames.
Luo Fei remained silent. The reason why he thought of asking Qiao Liang to lie was actually a move out of desperation. Qiao Liang's refusal to cooperate was not too unexpected. He could only say that the attempt failed. And Qiao Liang may become an uncontrollable factor and increase the variables of the matter.
"Sooner or later, we'll deal with this thorny head." Luo Fei said coldly.
Hearing Luo Fei's words, Wen Yuan smiled unconsciously. Qiao Liang didn't like Luo Fei in the first place, and now he was hated by Luo Fei. Sooner or later, there would be no good results.
When Wen Yuan and Luo Fei were on the phone, Qiao Liang had almost returned to the county compound. Regarding the conversation he had just had with Wen Yuan, Qiao Liang naturally knew the consequences of his refusal. He had completely offended Luo Fei to death this time.
But as the old saying goes, if there are too many lice, don't be afraid of them. Luo Fei already disliked him, so he didn't want to offend Luo Fei one more time.
Back in the office, Qiao Liang reviewed the documents for a while. The time soon arrived at noon. After having lunch in the office, Qiao Liang came to Fengxiang Village again in the afternoon to inspect the post-disaster resettlement work.
There are as many as 20 residential buildings that were destroyed or seriously damaged by the flood. These require compensation and resettlement from the county. In addition, a large amount of money has to be invested in the repair of the Songbei Reservoir. This time it can be said that it is true. It wastes people and money, and such serious consequences are caused by the corruption of individual leaders.
Qiao Liang was also deeply touched by this. Without checks and balances on power, the consequences would be disastrous. This also places higher demands on individual leaders. The greater the power at hand, the greater the responsibility on their shoulders. The responsibilities are also heavier. You must have a sense of reverence for power, especially those who are leaders must use the power in their hands with caution.
After inspecting Fengxiang Village, it was already evening when Qiao Liang returned to the county. Ye Xinyi invited Qiao Liang to dinner tonight, so Qiao Liang went directly to the restaurant.
In the hotel private room, Ye Xinyi had already come over in advance. Seeing Qiao Liang's arrival, Ye Xinyi said, "You're finally here. I'm almost starving."
"Are you stupid? You don't know how to eat something to fill your stomach first?" Qiao Liang looked at Ye Xinyi with a smile, "Beauty, why do you want to treat me to dinner tonight?"
"Actually, I don't want to treat you to dinner, but I want you to pay for the treat." Ye Xinyi handed the menu to Qiao Liang, "I ordered several of the restaurant's signature dishes. The prices are not cheap, so don't wait until later. I feel sorry for the money.”
"Haha, it doesn't matter how much money you spend to treat a beauty to dinner." Qiao Liang laughed, "Besides, I still owe you several meals."
"That's right, why should I be so polite to you?" Ye Xinyi glanced at Qiao Liang, "Have a drink?"
"No problem, if the beauty wants to drink, I will accompany her at any time."
The two of them were talking, and Qiao Liang noticed that there was a sad look on Ye Xinyi's face, and couldn't help but asked with concern, "Is there something on your mind?"
"Oh, it's quite annoying." Ye Xinyi smiled helplessly and handed her mobile phone to Qiao Liang, "Look at the text messages in it."
Qiao Liang clicked on the text messages on Ye Xinyi's mobile phone and looked at them carefully. She couldn't help but be stunned. At a glance, the sender of every text message that could be seen on the phone screen was 'Xu Honggang'. Looking at the time, all of them were It’s today’s…
"This..." Qiao Liang looked at the text message and didn't know what to say for a moment. He didn't click on it to read the details of the text message. After all, it involved personal privacy, although Ye Xinyi showed him the phone and showed that he didn't mind. , but Qiao Liang doesn’t have the habit of reading other people’s private text messages.
"How about it, it's crazy, isn't it?" Ye Xinyi smiled bitterly, "Just today, Secretary Xu sent me more than a dozen text messages, almost one every hour. If it weren't for work, I would have wanted to shut down the phone."
"It's really unexpected." Qiao Liang was also speechless. Xu Honggang had been slapped by Ye Xinyi just before. If it were someone else, he might not have the shame to continue to pester him, but Xu Honggang could still pretend to be nonchalant and continue to chase. Qiao Liang had to admire Ye Xinyi's psychological quality.
"Being pestered like this every day, I'm a little nervous." Ye Xinyi sighed.
"Seeing Secretary Xu like this, he is indeed a little crazy." Qiao Liang shook his head, thought for a while, and suggested, "You might as well change your mobile phone and get a new number. You usually just leave this phone aside and ignore it. , out of sight, out of mind.”
"If only it were as easy as you said, if I keep ignoring it, Secretary Xu will definitely come directly to Songbei." Ye Xinyi said helplessly.
"..." After hearing this, Qiao Liang really didn't know what to say. Is Xu Honggang really obsessed with Ye Xinyi to this extent? Or is it just an obsession of Xu Honggang, the more he can't get it, the more he can't get it.
The more you have to insist on it.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore." Ye Xinyi put away her phone.
Qiao Liang nodded. No wonder Ye Xinyi was in a bad mood. No one would feel better when encountering such a thing.
Ye Xinyi took the initiative to invite Qiao Liang to dinner tonight. She obviously wanted to get drunk and asked the waiter to bring a box of beer.
"We have to take it easy, we have to work tomorrow." Qiao Liang said with a smile.
"It's up to you to drink. Don't be so nagging. It's rare that I let you drink with me. Please be happy." Ye Xinyi rolled her eyes at Qiao Liang.
"Okay, okay, I'll have a drink with you tonight, lest you say I'm unjust." Qiao Liang said with a smile.
The two chatted while drinking, mainly Ye Xinyi was talking and Qiao Liang was listening. Although Ye Xinyi said that she wanted to drink to her heart's content, she was actually very self-disciplined and she took the initiative to stop when she was done drinking.
"What, you don't want to drink anymore?" Qiao Liang said to Ye Xinyi with a smile.
"Stop drinking. If you drink any more, you'll be really drunk. It will affect your work tomorrow." Ye Xinyi said, "Let's go back."
Qiao Liang nodded and the two of them came out of the hotel together. Qiao Liang asked the driver to take Ye Xinyi back, but Ye Xinyi waved her hand and refused, "It's not far from the dormitory. It takes about twenty minutes to walk. Let's walk back."
, just exercise."
"That's fine. If the beauty wants to walk, then I will accompany you." Qiao Liang said with a smile.
The two of them walked along the road towards the dormitory, chatting casually like old friends. The two of them enjoyed the atmosphere.
After walking for who knows how long, Qiao Liang accidentally saw a figure in front of him and suddenly pulled Ye Xinyi.
Ye Xinyi, who was caught off guard, was staggered by Qiao Liang, and turned to look at Qiao Liang doubtfully, "What's wrong?"
"Who do you think that person is?" Qiao Liang pointed ahead.
Ye Xinyi looked in the direction pointed by Qiao Liang and saw a middle-aged man walking out of a shop on the roadside. He immediately put on a mask and hurriedly hailed a taxi on the roadside and left.
"That's Wen..." Ye Xinyi was quite familiar with Wen Yuan and recognized him at a glance.
"No, what is this guy doing sneakily?" Qiao Liang said as he turned to look at the store Wenyuan just came out of.
After seeing the store's sign, Qiao Liang leaned in. This was a foot bath club. Looking inside, he saw several scantily clad women sitting on the sofa in the lobby under the pink light, some of them smoking.
, some were chatting, one of them saw Qiao Liang looking inside, and waved to Qiao Liang.
Seeing this scene, Qiao Liang didn't understand what kind of place this was, and couldn't help but curse in his heart. The old guy just came to Songbei on his second day, and why did he come to a place like this?
