Tonight in Jiangdong is destined to be a sleepless night for many people.
When Qiao Liang learned the news about Wu Jiang, he was still working overtime in the office. When he heard that Wu Jiang was taken away by the provincial disciplinary department, Qiao Liang was shocked. When he talked about Wu Changsheng's case with Cai Minghai yesterday, he was still worried about the pressure from Wu Jiang. , I didn’t expect that something happened in Wujiang just one day later.
Just after Qiao Liang got the news, the phone rang. Seeing that it was Cai Minghai, Qiao Liang picked up the phone.
"County Magistrate, have you heard that Wu Jiang was taken away by the provincial disciplinary department?" Cai Minghai said excitedly.
"Well, I just learned that the Provincial Disciplinary Department is really powerful. If you don't take action, it will be a big deal." Qiao Liang said with a smile.
"Yeah, I didn't expect the disciplinary department to be so courageous. A cadre of Wujiang's level would take it down as soon as he said it would be taken down." Cai Minghai's voice was full of joy, "This time Wu Changsheng's case will be easier to handle. I guess no one will Say hello to his case again."
"Well, as the old saying goes, if a tree falls and the hozen is scattered, who will take care of his son's case if something happens in Wujiang?" Qiao Liang smiled, "The provincial disciplinary department took care of Wujiang, but it indirectly helped us. "
"Yes, this is the best news I have heard in the past few days." Cai Minghai said with a smile on his face. When he just learned the news, he almost thought it was false news. After checking with friends in the province, Only then did he know that this was true. Cai Minghai happily said hello several times.
Qiao Liang said with a smile, "This shows that the sky net is very sparse and there are no leaks. No matter what level of cadre you are, no one should take chances. If you reach out, you will be caught."
"Well, you are right. When you are an official, you must be a clean and good official, worthy of the organization, worthy of the people, and even worthy of your own conscience." Cai Minghai said in agreement, and then laughed again, "This Wujiang guy As soon as this happened, I don’t know how many people will be unable to sleep tonight.”
"Anyway, if we don't do anything bad, we can sleep soundly every day." Qiao Liang said with a smile.
The two of them were talking, and Qiao Liang saw a figure moving at the door. When he looked carefully, he saw that it was Tang Xiaofei.
Tang Xiaofei stood at the door for a moment and then walked in.
"The county magistrate is still working overtime?" Tang Xiaofei walked in and said.
"Yes." Qiao Liang nodded and glanced at Tang Xiaofei with some surprise, "Deputy County Magistrate Tang hasn't gone back yet?"
"I haven't finished some work during the day today, so I stayed and worked overtime in the evening." Tang Xiaofei nodded.
Qiao Liang nodded slightly. Seeing that Tang Xiaofei seemed to have other matters, he said to Cai Minghai on the other end of the phone, "That's it for now. If anything happens later, we'll contact you later."
"Okay." Cai Minghai said.
After the two of them finished talking on the phone, Qiao Liang put away the phone and looked at Tang Xiaofei, "What can I do, Deputy County Magistrate Tang?"
Hearing Qiao Liang's question, Tang Xiaofei lowered her head in embarrassment, as if she had something to say that she couldn't say.
Seeing Tang Xiaofei's reaction, Qiao Liang wondered what was wrong with Tang Xiaofei. It was a bit abnormal, and it was quite different from his previous behavior.
Just when Qiao Liang was confused, Tang Xiaofei said calmly, "County Magistrate Qiao, are you free now? How about we go have a supper together, I'll treat you."
"You treat me to a supper?" Qiao Liang stared at Tang Xiaofei with wide eyes and looked at Tang Xiaofei strangely. The sun was rising in the west today? Tang Xiaofei actually wanted to treat him to a supper.
Feeling a little uncomfortable being looked at by Qiao Liang, Tang Xiaofei quickly explained, "County Magistrate Qiao, I was drunk a few nights ago, thanks to you. Otherwise, I don't know what would have happened. I haven't thanked you properly. Tonight is just the right time." I saw you were still working overtime, so I wanted to treat you to a late-night snack."
So that's it. Qiao Liang suddenly realized and said with a smile, "Didn't you thank me before? There's no need to be so polite."
"After all, it was just verbal thanks before, but there must be some practical actions." Tang Xiaofei said.
After hearing this, Qiao Liang glanced at Tang Xiaofei's face a few more times. He felt that Tang Xiaofei seemed to be a little different from before. In the past, Tang Xiaofei was delicate and domineering, with a sense of arrogance in his bones, and he always had a bossy attitude when talking to others. , even he didn't show much respect to him as the county magistrate, and sometimes he would even confront him. But now, Tang Xiaofei seemed to have changed a lot.
After thinking about it, Qiao Liang felt that there was really no need for him to get into a quarrel with Tang Xiaofei. Since the other party took the initiative to extend an olive branch, he simply agreed. If he could have a good relationship with Tang Xiaofei, there would be no harm to him, and he would not have to be with Tang Xiaofei all the time. It makes the relationship very tense.
Out of this thought, Qiao Liang nodded and agreed, "Okay, since Deputy County Magistrate Tang is treating me to a treat, I won't eat for free. I will kill Deputy County Magistrate Tang tonight."
Seeing that Qiao Liang agreed, Tang Xiaofei seemed quite happy and said with a smile, "I'm just afraid that County Magistrate Qiao won't be able to eat it, otherwise I won't be able to take care of it."
The two were chatting and laughing, Qiao Liang got up, cleaned up his desk, and left with Tang Xiaofei.
The two of them walked along the street outside the county compound without taking a car. There were many restaurants on the street from the county compound. Tang Xiaofei didn't know what Qiao Liang wanted to eat, so she let Qiao Liang choose.
"How about we have barbecue?" Qiao Liang smelled the smell of barbecue and became greedy. He forgot how long it had been since he had barbecue. When he saw this, his appetite suddenly aroused.
"Eating barbecue?" Tang Xiaofei looked at Qiao Liang in surprise, "County Chief Qiao, eating this seems a bit inconsistent with your status."
"Look at what you said, as if I'm not an ordinary person." Qiao Liang smiled, "Is it possible that the county magistrate doesn't like barbecue?"
"That's up to you. If you want to eat barbecue, you can help me save some money." Tang Xiaofei said with a smile.
The two of them talked and sat down at the barbecue stall on the roadside. When Qiao Liang ordered, Tang Xiaofei brought a dozen beers from the side.
"Are you still drinking at night?" Qiao Liang looked at Tang Xiaofei in confusion.
"Barbecue and beer are a perfect pairing," Tang Xiaofei said with a smile.
"Aren't you afraid of getting drunk like that night again?" Qiao Liang smiled and shook his head.
"I went to the bar to drink alone that night before something like that happened. I feel relieved to be drinking with County Magistrate Qiao tonight." Tang Xiaofei smiled slightly, "Besides, I won't get drunk tonight."
After hearing what Tang Xiaofei said, Qiao Liang looked at the other party and didn't say anything else. If he only drank beer, he would not get drunk easily, and it was impossible for him to drink too much with Tang Xiaofei. However, Tang Xiaofei was indeed a bit drunk compared to before. It was different. This was the feeling that Qiao Liang and Tang Xiaofei had when they came into contact tonight. This also made Qiao Liang quite puzzled. Is it just because he helped Tang Xiaofei that night that Tang Xiaofei's attitude towards him had such a big change? change?
Qiao Liang didn't know that Tang Xiaofei's quasi-male horse Daosheng voluntarily surrendered because of the Songbei Reservoir collapse accident. In addition, Tang Xiaofei and Ma Jun's relationship changed... Wait, this recent series of events has given Tang Xiaofei a big impact. At the same time, it also changed Tang Xiaofei's arrogant temper to some extent.
Regarding Qiao Liang, Tang Xiaofei did change her attitude towards Qiao Liang because Qiao Liang helped her. Asking herself, Tang Xiaofei felt that when she had conflicts with Qiao Liang, if something happened to Qiao Liang, she would probably not He would help, but Qiao Liang's approach impressed Tang Xiaofei and greatly changed Tang Xiaofei's impression of Qiao Liang.
Tang Xiaofei took the initiative to open two bottles of beer and handed one to Qiao Liang. She took one bottle and drank directly from the mouth of the bottle. She finished the bottle of beer in a few sips.
Qiao Liang looked at Tang Xiaofei with his mouth half-opened, "Deputy County Magistrate Tang, you are drinking too boldly."
"Haha, what's the point? This small bottle of beer is only 300 ml. I drank it in just a few sips." Tang Xiaofei smiled, opened another bottle, picked it up and poured it into his mouth.
Seeing this, Qiao Liang felt that something was wrong with Tang Xiaofei's state. He frowned and said, "Deputy County Magistrate Tang, has something happened to you?"
"No, what can I do?" Tang Xiaofei waved her hands carelessly, then continued drinking.
"Then you should drink slowly, there is no such thing as drinking." Qiao Liang curled his lips and said. He felt that Tang Xiaofei must have something on his mind, but the other party didn't say anything, so Qiao Liang didn't bother to ask.
Tang Xiaofei was indeed still depressed about breaking up with her boyfriend Ma Jun, but she couldn't express the pain in her heart to Qiao Liang. Firstly, her relationship with Qiao Liang was not that good. Secondly, Saying this kind of thing won't necessarily win sympathy from others, but it will only add to the laughter.
"County Magistrate Qiao, you should drink too, why are you standing there in a daze?" Tang Xiaofei greeted Qiao Liang.
"Okay, let's drink." Qiao Liang picked up the bottle and touched it with Tang Xiaofei. He thought it was quite interesting. If it had been a few days ago, he would never have thought that he would sit down and drink with Tang Xiaofei like this. One day, unexpectedly, the unintentional act a few nights ago broke the ice between him and Tang Xiaofei.
Judging from the fact that Tang Xiaofei went to the bar to drink alone to the point of drunkenness a few nights ago, and from Tang Xiaofei's behavior tonight, Qiao Liang guessed that Tang Xiaofei must have something on her mind, and Qiao Liang didn't have to interfere too much, not to mention that she had a Jiangzhou leader. As the top uncle, it's not his turn to worry about anything, but the relationship between him and Tang Xiaofei has eased through this matter. This is an unexpected gain. If Tang Xiaofei can support and cooperate with him in work in the future, then he will be in the county. There is one more help. After all, Tang Xiaofei is a member of the county team. If he has Tang Xiaofei's support, he will have more confidence when facing Miao Peilong.
But these are just Qiao Liang's wishful thinking now. Who knows whether Tang Xiaofei will favor him in the future fight between him and Miao Peilong.
