Xu Chan and Qiao Liang took a car to Qiao Liang's dormitory together. Speaking of which, Qiao Liang's dormitory was rented by Xu Chan with help. But except for taking Qiao Liang to see the house when they first rented it, Xu Chan never visited it again. Entered Qiao Liang's dormitory.
This time I came to Qiao Liang's dormitory again. Xu Chan took a look when she entered the room. Seeing that Qiao Liang's dormitory was clean, Xu Chan was a little surprised. She was the director of the county office, so she knew very well that Qiao Liang was not there. In addition, the office was asked to arrange someone to clean the dormitory, so seeing Qiao Liang's dormitory so clean and tidy, Xu Chan couldn't help but said, "County Chief Qiao, did you clean this dormitory yourself?"
"Of course, otherwise it can become clean on its own?" Qiao Liang said.
"Mr. Qiao, I didn't mean that. I was just a little surprised. To be honest, I rarely see a man's dormitory being so clean." Xu Chan said with a smile.
"Maybe I live less, so I only come back at night and stay away during the day." Qiao Liang smiled, "In addition, sometimes when I am tired from thinking about things, cleaning is also a way to relax my mind in disguise. .”
"It's true, just like sometimes when I'm tired, I feel like going into the kitchen to get busy and cooking two of my favorite dishes can help me relax." Xu Chan said with a smile.
Qiao Liang nodded, poured a glass of water for Xu Chan, and said, "Director Xu, sit down. Stop standing. I see you are wearing these high heels. Even if you are tired, I feel tired for you."
Xu Chan nodded and sat down, staring at Qiao Liang. For a moment, she said quietly, "County Magistrate Qiao, you haven't called me by my name for a long time."
Xu Chan's words made Qiao Liang stunned. He looked up at Xu Chan. Their eyes touched in the air. Qiao Liang subconsciously looked away. He felt a different meaning from Xu Chan's eyes. As a man, Qiao Liang understood what that hint was.
Before Qiao Liang could speak, Xu Chan said again, "County Magistrate Qiao, I miss that night we were together very much."
If Xu Chan's words just now were just hints, then now, Xu Chan has undoubtedly sent some kind of signal to Qiao Liang in an explicit and straightforward manner.
Qiao Liang was silent for a moment, not looking into Xu Chan's eyes, and said with a smile, "Director Xu, let bygones be bygones."
"Women are different from men. Women are more emotional and cannot forget like men." Xu Chan stood up and walked to sit next to Qiao Liang.
Smelling the fragrance wafting from Xu Chan's body, Qiao Liang's heart skipped a beat. It had to be said that Xu Chan was particularly attractive tonight, at least in Qiao Liang's opinion, especially the cheongsam Xu Chan was wearing. The same skirt magnified Xu Chan's charm infinitely, making Qiao Liang unable to help but feel a little distracted at the moment.
Xu Chan took the initiative to stick close to Qiao Liang, slowly rested her head on Qiao Liang's shoulder, and murmured, "Brother Qiao, it would be great if time could be frozen."
Qiao Liang didn't know what to say for a moment. During this period of time, he and Xu Chan had normal work contacts, and Xu Chan didn't show any special emotions. But now, Xu Chan suddenly came to him like this, Qiao Liang still I really can't resist. The most important thing is that Xu Chan's carefully dressed up look tonight is indeed extraordinary.
Qiao Liang was a little absent-minded. Xu Chan took a step further at this time, intentionally or unintentionally holding Qiao Liang's hand and putting it on her body. Qiao Liang suddenly realized it, stood up quickly, and said unnaturally, "Director Xu, it may be a bit inappropriate for us to do this. Very good.”
"Brother Qiao, do you really have no feelings for me at all?" Xu Chan looked at Qiao Liang pitifully.
"It's not that, it's just that our identities are not suitable for each other now." Qiao Liang said with a smile.
"What's inappropriate? We are just normal urban men and women. We have all the emotions and desires that ordinary people have. Why should Brother Qiao care so much about his official status?" Xu Chan stood up again and pressed close to Qiao Liang.
Qiao Liang smiled bitterly. Xu Chan was a little abnormal tonight. She was too proactive. With such a beauty standing in front of her, she even showed a gesture of throwing herself into her arms. It was impossible for Qiao Liang to say that she didn't have any thoughts in her heart.
Yes, but the reason why people are human is precisely because they are rational and can restrain their behavior under impulsive situations, instead of being like animals who can only control themselves based on instinct, so even though Qiao Liang is also
He had already reacted, but he still suppressed the restlessness in his heart, distanced himself from Xu Chan, and said, "Director Xu, after all, we are superiors and subordinates now, so it's better to pay attention."
Hearing Qiao Liang's words, Xu Chan stood there blankly. Qiao Liang had already mentioned this, and no matter how thick-skinned Xu Chan was, she would be embarrassed to talk about it again.
After silently glancing at Qiao Liang, Xu Chan's eyes flashed with a complicated look that only she could understand.
The two of them were silent, and no one spoke. In the end, Xu Chan was the first to break the silence, "County Magistrate Qiao, it's getting late, I'm going back first."
From County Magistrate Qiao to Brother Qiao, and then to County Magistrate Qiao, in just this moment, Xu Chan's change in her mood reflected in the change of name she gave to Qiao Liang may only be known to Xu Chan herself.
When Qiao Liang heard Xu Chan call him County Magistrate Qiao again, he breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "It's better to go back and rest early. We have to go to work tomorrow morning."
"Yes." Xu Chan lowered her head and responded. Seeing that Qiao Liang was about to see her off, Xu Chan said, "County Magistrate Qiao, you don't have to see me off. I can just go downstairs by myself."
"Director Xu, please slow down and send me a message when you get home." Qiao Liang smiled.
"Okay." Xu Chan nodded.
Before going downstairs, Xu Chan glanced at Qiao Liang for the last time, and felt an inexplicable sadness in her heart. Xu Chan knew that from now on, she and Qiao Liang would drift apart, even though she had been holding each other for a long time.
She has a utilitarian mentality, but Xu Chan has an inexplicable emotion towards Qiao Liang. Deep down in her heart, she has always been grateful to Qiao Liang. After all, it was Qiao Liang who helped her go from the township to the county town, but
Her choice destined that she and Qiao Liang would not be the same person. Tonight, she accidentally proposed to come to Qiao Liang, and she had some thoughts of renewing her relationship with Qiao Liang. However, Qiao Liang's refusal cut off Xu Chan's relationship with Qiao Liang.
Qiao Liang’s last thoughts.
Coming down from upstairs, Xu Chan's eyes showed confusion for a moment. Sometimes, Xu Chan didn't know whether the path she chose was worth it, but the desire for power and status in her heart drove Xu Chan to do that.
After a brief period of confusion, Xu Chan's eyes flashed with determination. She had finally reached where she was today and had paid such a heavy price, so how could she stop so easily? She had to keep going, otherwise all her previous efforts would be in vain.
.
When Xu Chan was about to take a taxi back, Miao Peilong was not at home, but came to Songbei Hotel.
In the hotel room, Huang Qingshan ordered some side dishes and chatted with Miao Peilong while drinking.
Huang Qingshan now spends a lot of time in the countryside, so he rarely stays in hotels. However, his hotel suite is rented for a long time.
After the two drank a few drinks, Huang Qingshan asked, "Secretary Miao, has Jiang Hui disappeared completely? Now his original phone number can't be reached, and there is no news about him at all, and he doesn't know what's going on."
"You ask me who should I ask? Jiang Hui is a fugitive now. Do you think I will be in contact with a fugitive?" Miao Peilong said angrily.
"Yes." Huang Qingshan smiled and nodded quickly, rolling his eyes, "Secretary Miao, Jiang Hui has now become a fugitive. He is finished, but he has a lot of assets in his name."
Miao Peilong was stunned and looked at Huang Qingshan with squinted eyes, "What do you want to do?"
"Secretary Miao, I just want to think that Jiang Hui's assets are now ownerless, so I want to come forward to integrate Jiang Hui's industry." Huang Qingshan said with a smile.
After hearing this, Miao Peilong glanced at Huang Qingshan jokingly. How could he not understand what the other party meant? The so-called integration was just to put it nicely. Huang Qingshan wanted to annex Jiang Hui's assets.
"Mr. Huang, Jiang Hui has a wife and children. It's not your turn to worry about his assets." Miao Peilong shook his head and smiled.
"Secretary Miao, I think many of Jiang Hui's assets are illegal, and his wife and children may not be eligible to inherit it. The county should have the final say on how to handle it, don't you think so?" Huang Qingshan said with a smile. Then he took out a card from his pocket and pushed it to Miao Peilong.
Miao Peilong glanced at the card in front of him, with an incomprehensible expression on his face, and stared at Huang Qingshan, "Mr. Huang, can the quarry in Xiayang Town still satisfy your appetite?"
"Secretary Miao, look at what you said. How can a businessman think that he has too much money?" Huang Qingshan laughed and laughed. He glanced at Miao Peilong and saw that Miao Peilong did not refuse directly. Huang Qingshan felt a little bit better. Finally, he pushed the card towards Miao Peilong and said, "Secretary Miao, there is this number here."
Huang Qingshan said and slapped Miao Peilong.
Miao Peilong's brows jumped slightly, and the slap he gave him undoubtedly meant five million, not half a million. If there were only half a million, Huang Qingshan wouldn't be able to take it.
It has to be said that Miao Peilong was tempted. After he received the first sum of money and the greed in his heart was awakened, he knew that he had no way to stop. Just as he comforted himself, being greedy for ten thousand dollars is greed. One hundred thousand is also greed, so why not be more greedy?
After a moment of silence, Miao Peilong put away his card and said, "If you register another company to integrate Jiang Hui's industries, I want 20% of the shares."
"..." Huang Qingshan's mouth twitched, Miao Peilong's appetite was getting bigger and bigger, he wanted both money and shares.
Miao Peilong saw Huang Qingshan's expression and said calmly, "My request is not too much, right?"
"Not too much, of course not too much." Huang Qingshan said hurriedly.
Miao Peilong nodded and said nothing more. In just a few words, the two decided to divide Jiang Hui's property.
