On the highway back, Wu Huiwen and Qiao Liang chatted.
"Xiao Qiao, what do you think about Wei Houcheng, the former director of the National Taxation Bureau?"
Qiao Liang knew that Wu Huiwen was referring to Wei Houcheng's arrest by the Anti-Corruption Bureau, and replied: "Don't reach out, otherwise you will be arrested. I think he brought it upon himself."
"You don't feel happy?" Wu Huiwen looked at Qiao Liang.
Qiao Liang smiled: "This seems to have nothing to do with personal grudges. Besides, I have not been punished for making things difficult for Chint Group."
"But you were frightened, which made Secretary Jing have a very bad opinion of you." Wu Huiwen said with a half-smile.
"This doesn't seem to be a reason for me to feel happy." When Qiao Liang said this, he thought about Wei Houcheng's matter. Not surprisingly, it was Xu Honggang and Da Beitou who were responsible. He felt a little uneasy, but felt that Wei Houcheng was retribution.
Wu Huiwen smiled: "Xiao Qiao, I think you are not only kind, but also full of positive energy. I heard that you had a minor conflict with Secretary Jing before because of the toast.
It made Secretary Jing almost unable to get off the stage, you are really courageous."
Qiao Liang blurted out: "Secretary Jing is such a big official, how can I dare to offend him? He was the one who prevented me from getting off the stage in the first place. I was forced to do nothing."
"Haha, you guy..." Wu Huiwen laughed again, and then changed the subject, "Some time ago, there was a sudden change in the candidate for secretary of the Songbei County Party Committee. What do you think?"
"Mayor Wu, this is a matter for the city's top management. As a small person like me, it is not appropriate for me to express my opinions randomly." Qiao Liang said cautiously.
"It doesn't matter, we are chatting privately now, feel free to tell us what you think." Wu Huiwen encouraged.
Qiao Liang then replied to Liao Gufeng: "I think Secretary Miao is popular, so he became the county party secretary in the end."
Wu Huiwen nodded: "Well, besides publicity, do you think there are other factors?"
"This..." Qiao Liang shook his head, "Even if there are other factors that changed the municipal party committee's decision changed by the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department, I can't think of it. I wonder what Mayor Wu thinks?"
"I think..." Wu Huiwen pondered, but did not say the next words.
Qiao Liang continued: "Actually, I said that it is what everyone expects, and Secretary Liao of the Provincial Party Committee also agrees with it."
"Secretary Liao?" Wu Huiwen's eyelids twitched, "When did you meet Secretary Liao?"
Qiao Liang then told the story of meeting Liao Gufeng in the Provincial Party Committee Courtyard.
After listening to what Qiao Liang said, Wu Huiwen thought deeply. It seemed that Liao Gufeng not only knew about the Songbei County Party Committee Secretary, but also cared about it. It seemed that Liao Gufeng had a little understanding of the personal situation of Zhao Xiaolan and Miao Peilong. I wonder if it was given by the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee.
What he reported was something he knew through other channels.
And if it was another way, who would have told him?
Wu Huiwen couldn't understand it for a moment.
At the same time, Wu Huiwen was a little confused. As a small person like Qiao Liang, he could not compete with Liao Gufeng. However, Liao Gufeng seemed to be quite interested in Qiao Liang. When he met Qiao Liang while walking in Sanjiang Guesthouse last time, he took the initiative to shake hands with him and made him laugh.
, I met him this time in the courtyard of the Provincial Party Committee, and had some humor with him again.
As a big leader like Liao Gufeng, why is he so interested in a little Qiao Liang? Is it just because this young man is energetic, handsome, and speaks likeable people?
It doesn't seem like there are many young people like Qiao Liang in the Provincial Party Committee compound.
Then why?
Wu Huiwen frowned slightly, puzzled for a moment, and couldn't help but also developed a strong interest in Qiao Liang.
This interest seems to include involuntary fondness.
Thinking of the secretary she had just changed, Wu Huiwen couldn't help frowning. If Qiao Liang could be his secretary, it would be many times better than his current secretary.
But Wu Huiwen also understood that Qiao Liang was now the most important person around Xu Honggang, and he obviously could not win over others' love.
Thinking about it this way, I can't help but feel very sorry.
After a while, the speed of the car slowed down, and there was a long queue in front of me. In the end, I couldn't walk at all.
"What's going on?" Wu Huiwen asked.
Xiao Zheng got out of the car and took a look, then came back and said: "There was a car accident 20 kilometers ahead, and the vehicles were blocked."
Seeing that it was getting dark, Qiao Liang said: "Oops, I don't know what time I can get to Jiangzhou tonight."
Even so, Qiao Liang was secretly happy. It would be nice to stay with the beautiful mayor for a while, but it would be nice to spend the night stuck in traffic on the highway.
After a while, the queue of cars slowly moved forward again. Xiao Zheng said while driving: "There is an exit ahead. It might be faster if you go down below."
Qiao Liang looked back at Wu Huiwen: "Mayor Wu, what do you think?"
Wu Huiwen looked outside and pondered for a moment: "Xiao Zheng, if we go downstairs, how long will it take to reach Jiangzhou?"
Xiao Zheng thought for a moment: "It's a mountain road down there, and there are a lot of big trucks. If there's no traffic jam, we can probably get there around 10 o'clock. If there's a traffic jam, it's hard to say."
"It takes so long..." Wu Huiwen frowned, "What about getting to Songbei?"
Xiao Zheng thought about it again: "After getting off the expressway, we will reach Songbei in more than an hour."
Wu Huiwen nodded: "Okay, safety first. We won't travel at night. We will stay in Songbei tonight and return to Jiangzhou tomorrow morning."
Xiao Zheng nodded, then got off the expressway at the front exit and headed straight to Songbei.
Qiao Liang then took out his cell phone: "Mayor Wu, can I say hello to the Songbei County Committee?"
"Well..." Wu Huiwen pondered, "We are just passing by and staying overnight, so it seems we don't need to disturb them."
Qiao Liang smiled and said: "Mayor Wu doesn't want to disturb them, but his intention is good, but if they know that you are coming to Songbei but don't notify them to pick up, they will feel very uneasy. There are also difficulties below."
Wu Huiwen also smiled and couldn't help but admire Qiao Liang for considering the problem carefully: "Okay, you can make arrangements."
Qiao Liang then called Miao Peilong.
"Hello, Secretary Miao, I am Qiao Liang from the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee."
In front of Wu Huiwen, Qiao Liang didn't want her to know that she was familiar with Miao Peilong.
As soon as he heard Qiao Liang's tone, Miao Peilong realized that there was someone next to him, and he was talking with Yao Jian at this time, so naturally he couldn't reveal anything.
"Hello, Director Qiao." Miao Peilong said politely.
As soon as he heard Miao Peilong speak so politely, Qiao Liang knew that there was also someone beside him.
"Secretary Miao, Mayor Wu returned to Jiangzhou from Huangyuan and encountered a traffic jam on the highway. He temporarily decided to stay in Songbei. We arrived at about 7 o'clock and went directly to the county party committee guest house."
Upon hearing this, Miao Peilong perked up and continued, "Besides Mayor Wu and you, how many other people are there?"
"There is also a driver, just the three of us." Qiao Liang said.
Miao Peilong was very surprised. Why did Qiao Liang arrange her schedule with Wu Huiwen? Could it be that this guy was transferred to the city government and became Wu Huiwen's secretary? When did this happen? How come he didn't know about it at all?
Then he felt something was wrong. When he was on the phone just now, Qiao Liang said that he was from the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee, but did not say that he was from the Municipal Government.
What is going on? Could it be that Qiao Liang was seconded to the city government to work as Wu Huiwen’s secretary?
