After Qiao Liang and Cai Minghai finished their phone calls, Fu Minghai happened to bring dinner in. Qiao Liang continued working after eating.
Around eight o'clock, Qiao Liang packed up the things on his desk and was about to leave when his cell phone rang. Seeing that it was the boss Li Youwei, Qiao Liang immediately picked up the call.
"Boss, what's the matter?" Qiao Liang asked with a smile.
"Liang Zi, I'm at the Songbei Hotel. Are you free now? Come over and have a chat." Li Youwei said.
"Boss, are you coming to Songbei? I'll be there right away." Qiao Liang said happily when he heard that it was Li Youwei who came to Songbei.
After hanging up the phone, Qiao Liang immediately took the car to Songbei Hotel.
Li Youwei was waiting for Qiao Liang in the tea room on the second floor of the hotel. When Qiao Liang came in, Li Youwei stood up and looked at Qiao Liang, then smiled and said, "You look good, and you seem to be recovering well."
When Qiao Liang was hospitalized a few days ago, Li Youwei visited Qiao Liang several times and was very concerned about Qiao Liang's injury.
Today, Li Youwei came to Songbei to inspect the Songbei Ancient City project invested by Chint Group. Originally, Li Youwei was going to invite Miao Peilong and Qiao Liang to have dinner together in the evening. He first called Miao Peilong and talked to Miao Pei.
Long said he would have dinner with Qiao Liang in the evening, but Miao Peilong told him that he would not come if Qiao Liang attended. When Li Youwei heard Miao Peilong's attitude, he stopped calling Qiao Liang.
Li Youwei's idea was to try to untie the knot between Qiao Liang and Miao Peilong. Since Miao Peilong insisted not to eat with Qiao Liang, Li Youwei simply had a chat with Miao Peilong first and took a look.
See what kind of conflict Miao Peilong has with Qiao Liang now. Only by clarifying it first can we do their work and resolve the conflict between them.
But Li Youwei obviously thought of things too simply. He was destined to return disappointed tonight. From the conversation with Miao Peilong, Li Youwei could feel that Miao Peilong's attitude towards Qiao Liang could be said to be filled with hatred.
Li Youwei wanted to ask why, but Miao Peilong didn't say anything and just kept drinking. As a result, Li Youwei was helpless.
Qiao Liang didn't know that Li Youwei invited Miao Peilong to dinner that night, and said, "Boss, why didn't you call me when you came to Songbei? Let's have dinner together tonight."
"Miao Peilong and I had dinner in the evening. The meal just ended." Li Youwei shook his head and smiled, waving to Qiao Liang and said, "Liangzi, sit down, let's sit down and chat."
After hearing this, Qiao Liang sat down and looked up at Li Youwei. He did not expect that Li Youwei would have dinner with Miao Peilong that night.
Li Youwei went on to explain, "I came here today to inspect the Songbei Ancient City project invested by the group. The project is about to be completed. I came here today to have a look. I thought I would invite you and Miao Peilong to have dinner together tonight to see if I can resolve the issue between you.
There was a conflict, but Miao Peilong said he wouldn't come if you came. I thought about it for a while, so I didn't call you and planned to talk to Miao Peilong first."
When Qiao Liang heard this, he couldn't help but said, "Boss, did you and Secretary Miao talk about anything?"
"Well, it seems that I am a bit wishful thinking. I don't have the ability to resolve the conflict between you two." Li Youwei smiled helplessly.
Qiao Liang was not surprised at all when he heard this and smiled slightly, "If the conflict between Secretary Miao and I could be resolved, we wouldn't be where we are today."
"What's going on between you two now?" Li Youwei sighed, "Peilong and I have known each other for many years, and we have always had a good relationship. In my impression, he is a man who values affection and righteousness, and is forthright and righteous.
He is a person worth getting to know, but now he has become a bit strange to me, especially the relationship between you two, which makes me very uncomfortable. It is really not good for me to be sandwiched between you."
"Boss, let's not worry about so many things and let each of us do our own thing." Qiao Liang said with a smile.
"That's the only way." Li Youwei smiled, feeling somewhat powerless in his heart. He and Miao Peilong had a really good relationship, especially since Miao Peilong basically went there every time he went to the city.
Looking for him to eat, so he actually tried to resolve the conflict between Miao Peilong and Qiao Liang before, but was distracted by Miao Peilong every time. Li Youwei originally thought that Miao Peilong just didn't want to talk, but from today
Judging from the situation, the conflict between Miao Peilong and Qiao Liang was deeper than he imagined.
"Liang Zi, do you think Peilong has really changed now?" Li Youwei asked.
"It has changed. I think he is no longer the old Brother Miao." Qiao Liang raised his eyebrows.
"Maybe." Li Youwei frowned slightly, "Maybe power can really change people. That was not the case with Peilong before."
Li Youwei did feel some changes in Miao Peilong. In the past, Miao Peilong would talk about some ideals and ambitions and wanted to do some practical things, but now Miao Peilong has no ideals and ambitions in his mouth, and has begun to
Talking about hedonism, Li Youwei had heard Miao Peilong mention it more than once, "When an official reaches his level and has devoted most of his life to the people, it's time to think about himself." Similar words, Miao Peilong said
Several times, Li Youwei criticized Miao Peilong for this and told him not to have that kind of thinking, but Miao Peilong obviously didn't take it seriously and didn't listen to his words.
"Boss, the root of the current conflict between Secretary Miao and I is that we have different positions, so the conflict between us cannot be resolved," Qiao Liang said.
"Hey, how did the relationship between you two get into such a mess?" Li Youwei sighed again, "Especially Peilong, with his current appearance, I am somewhat worried for him, worried that he will embark on a road of no return in the future.
.”
"Boss, everyone has their own choice, and they must bear the consequences of their own choices. Some things are beyond our control," Qiao Liang said lightly.
"Well, you're right." Li Youwei nodded. Regarding Miao Peilong's matter, Li Youwei is now powerless. The other party is an adult after all. Li Youwei can't decide anything for the other party. He can only
I can try my best to persuade Miao Peilong to pay attention to some disciplinary issues, but whether Miao Peilong will listen is another matter.
Based on Li Youwei's understanding of Miao Peilong, I am afraid that Miao Peilong has stepped on some disciplinary red lines. Li Youwei only hopes that nothing will happen to Miao Peilong, otherwise it will be a real pity. Miao Peilong in his youth
, is a person with ideals and ambitions. Now he has taken a top position and holds great power. How come he has become like this?
The two chatted about Miao Peilong for a while, and Qiao Liang didn't want to say any more. He instead said, "Boss, you have to invite me to the opening ceremony of your Songbei Ancient City project. I will stand up for you."
.”
"That will definitely happen. You are a ***. Who can I invite if I don't invite you? If you don't come by then, I will have to drag you here." Li Youwei said with a smile.
"That's great, I'll definitely go there then." Qiao Liang laughed, "This is a great thing. Once the Songbei Ancient City project starts operating, it will be of great significance to boost Songbei's tourism industry."
"Well, now our group also operates a tourism company. When the time comes, I will ask the tourism company to increase the tourism routes in Songbei Ancient City and allocate more resources here, hoping to attract some foreign tourists." Li Youwei said.
"That would be great. It will not only create economic benefits for our county, but also drive employment." Qiao Liang looked happy and said, "Boss, if your group has other investment projects, they must be given priority.
Come to Songbei soon."
"Don't worry, I will definitely give priority to Songbei, and the wealth will not go to outsiders." Li Youwei smiled, "By the way, I heard that you had a bet with Miao Peilong before, let's see who of you can win in half a year.
Do you want to invest some money in Songbei?"
"There is such a bet, but this bet is probably not counted now. Secretary Miao previously worked on the International Automobile City project, which turned into a mess. He was also defrauded of a large amount of money by a fraud gang, which made him
His face is shameless, I guess he doesn’t want to mention the bet now." Qiao Liang laughed.
"Peilong was a little anxious, anxious to make political achievements, a little eager for quick success, and that's why he fell into the trap of a fraud gang." Li Youwei shook his head and said. He had heard about this. It is said that Miao Peilong even went to other people's houses.
The so-called "headquarters" abroad have inspected the project and thought that the project was stable and there were no problems. Little did they know that these were all designed by fraud gangs.
Speaking of this matter, Qiao Liang is obviously still a little annoyed, because the subsequent impact of this matter has not been completely eliminated. Those construction companies that were defrauded of their deposits will still come to ask about the deposits from time to time, hoping that the county can give an answer, but
What answer can the county give? The case has not been solved yet, the police are still investigating the fraud gang, and all the money has not been recovered. It is impossible for the county to fill the hole with finances.
Seeing that Qiao Liang's face was not very good, Li Youwei said, "Okay, let's not talk about him anymore, so as not to affect your mood. Let's talk about your affairs. Liang Zi, is there any progress in the case where you were shot?"
"Probably not yet. I haven't heard any news from the police." Qiao Liang shook his head and said. Lu Qian has now officially assumed the position of deputy director of the municipal bureau. Qiao Liang also heard Lu Qian mention the case. Now this case
With Lu Qian personally supervising the case, Qiao Liang believes that Lu Qian will do her best to solve the case.
"Hiring a murderer should be your enemy. Have you thought carefully about who would do such a thing?" Li Youwei asked again.
When Qiao Liang heard this question, he smiled bitterly and said, "Boss, several people have asked me this question, and even the city bureau came to me to make notes. They asked me to think about it carefully and see if I can provide any clues, but I think
I can't even figure out who did it. Speaking of work matters, I have had conflicts with many people. It's impossible for others to kill me because of conflicts at work, right? But if it's a personal grudge.
, I thought about it carefully, I don’t have any personal grudges with anyone recently.”
"You don't have any clues about yourself, so it seems that you can only wait for the police to solve the case." Li Youwei smiled, thought about it, and solemnly reminded Qiao Liang, "Liang Zi, you should pay more attention in the future and avoid offending others.
Otherwise, if something like this happens again, you may not be so lucky."
"Yes, I will." Qiao Liang nodded, but she felt a little helpless in her heart. How can you do your job without offending others? Sometimes when something happens, you can't stop doing it just because you are afraid of offending others.
