Miao Peilong and Fang Xiaoya both laughed, and Qiao Liang was a little embarrassed: "How dare you, I'm just asking casually."
Lu Qian chuckled: "My friend works for the government. As for his gender, I won't tell you."
Everyone laughed again, and Qiao Liang stopped asking. Thinking of her conversation with Lu Qian in the morning, she felt that her question was a bit unnecessary. Lu Qian said that she had not found her right husband yet, so this friend should be her best friend.
At this time, Lu Qian asked Fang Xiaoya again: "Secretary Miao and I already have a place to live, how can you and Mr. Qiao live there?"
"You don't have to worry about this, I'll just arrange to stay in the hotel." Fang Xiaoya said.
"Are you guys sharing a room tonight or..." Lu Qian asked in a teasing tone.
"Fuck you, what are you talking about?" Fang Xiaoya spat at Lu Qian. Lu Qian laughed and looked back at Qiao Liang with a somewhat unpredictable look in her eyes.
Qiao Liang laughed, but there was a subtle feeling in her heart.
When the car was approaching the Provincial Party Committee Family Court, Lu Qian looked ahead and suddenly shouted: "Stop-"
Fang Xiaoya stopped the car and looked at Lu Qian: "Want to get off?"
Lu Qian nodded, then pointed to the small square in front of her on the right: "Hey, do you see that person over there?"
Everyone looked in the direction of Lu Qian's finger and saw an old man doing Tai Chi in an empty small square.
"Ah, isn't that Secretary Liao of the Provincial Party Committee?" Fang Xiaoya shouted.
"Yes, I didn't expect that the old man would still be exercising outside in the middle of winter." Lu Qian opened the car door, "I'm going to say hello to the old man, do you want to come over with me?"
Miao Peilong got out of the car without saying anything. It was such a rare opportunity to meet Secretary Liao here. He must go there.
Fang Xiaoya and Qiao Liang also got out of the car and followed.
"Hey, sir, you are not afraid of freezing in such a cold weather." Lu Qian jumped towards Liao Gufeng with a lively voice.
Liao Gufeng stopped and looked at them.
As Miao Peilong walked, he asked Qiao Liang: "Do Director Lu and Secretary Liao know each other?"
"Yes, the three of us all know him. We met during the on-site meeting in Sanjiang." Qiao Liang replied.
Miao Peilong nodded, a little excited and a little nervous. It seemed that it was the first time that he and Liao Gufeng met.
Walking in front of Liao Gufeng, Qiao Liang, Fang Xiaoya and Miao Peilong greeted Liao Gufeng respectfully. Liao Gufeng looked at them with a smile: "How did you get together to run away from Huang Yuan?"
"Hey, we have nothing to do on the weekend to play together." Lu Qian said quickly, "Chief, you know Qiao Liang and Fang Xiaoya, so I won't introduce them. This is Secretary Miao of Songbei County."
As she spoke, Lu Qian pointed at Miao Peilong.
"Oh, Secretary of the Songbei County Party Committee..." Liao Gufeng's eyelids twitched and he looked Miao Peilong up and down.
Miao Peilong was very nervous. He looked at Liao Gufeng cautiously and said respectfully: "Hello, Secretary Liao. My name is Miao Peilong. I have just taken office as Secretary of the Songbei County Party Committee. Please call me Xiaomiao."
Liao Gufeng continued to look at Miao Peilong, and then stretched out his hand. Miao Peilong hurriedly stretched out his hands to hold it.
"So you are Miao Peilong..." Liao Gufeng smiled generously, "Some time ago, I heard a comrade from the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee tell me about the replacement of Songbei County Party Committee Secretary. It turns out that the person who was replaced was you."
"Yes, yes." Miao Peilong nodded quickly.
Liao Gufeng let go of his hand and looked at Miao Peilong: "Xiao Miao, can I ask you a few questions?"
"Secretary Liao, please give me instructions." Miao Peilong became even more nervous, not knowing what Secretary Liao wanted to ask.
"Hey, let's talk casually, don't be so nervous." Liao Gufeng waved his hand, "Any instructions or no instructions, just treat it as chatter."
"Hey, okay, okay." Miao Peilong smiled and nodded. Although Liao Gufeng said it was just chatting, he was still nervous. He had to be very careful when chatting with the secretary of the provincial party committee. He couldn't say anything wrong.
"Let me ask you, how many people are there in Songbei County? How many villages are there? What proportion of the county is mountainous? How many acres of arable land are there? How many fruit trees are there? What was the county's total tourism revenue last year, and what is the per capita income of farmers...
..." Liao Gufeng asked a series of questions.
Lu Qian, Fang Xiaoya and Qiao Liang all looked at Miao Peilong. Qiao Liang was a little worried for Miao Peilong. The director of the county statistics bureau may not be able to explain these data clearly without checking the data. I wonder if Miao Peilong can answer it and asked Liao Gufeng
satisfy.
Miao Peilong's mind was spinning rapidly, and suddenly he was no longer nervous, and felt very at ease. This was all his own work, and all these data were stored in his mind.
"Report to Secretary Liao that there are 572,000 people in Songbei County, 963 natural villages, and 416 administrative villages. The mountainous area accounts for 84% of the county, 455,000 acres of arable land, and 860,000 acres of forestland..." Miao Peilong said smoothly
answered.
Fang Xiaoya and Lu Qian pursed their lips and smiled. Qiao Liang breathed a sigh of relief and secretly admired Miao Peilong's familiarity with the county.
"How many of these villages have you been to?" Liao Gufeng then asked.
"Reporting to Secretary Liao, during my tenure as the head of Songbei County, I have been to 367 of the 416 administrative villages in the county, and I plan to visit the rest by the end of the year," Miao Peilong replied.
Liao Gufeng nodded and continued to ask Miao Peilong some questions about agriculture, rural areas and farmers, and Miao Peilong answered them fluently.
Listening to Miao Peilong's answer, Liao Gufeng's expression became more and more satisfied, and finally he burst out laughing.
Seeing Liao Gufeng's smile, Miao Peilong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and Qiao Liang also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Peilong, it seems that you, the county magistrate, are worthy of your reputation." Liao Gufeng said with a smile.
Just now, Liao Gufeng was calling Miao Peilong Xiaomiao, but now he will change his name to Peilong. It is self-evident what this change of name means.
Miao Peilong was secretly happy and said hurriedly: "Thank you, Secretary Liao, for your compliment."
Qiao Liang was also happy for Miao Peilong and couldn't help but laugh.
Liao Gufeng turned to look at Qiao Liang: "Hey, Xiao Qiao, are you satisfied with my evaluation of Secretary Peilong?"
Qiao Liang was startled. He was the secretary of the provincial party committee. How could he ask whether he was satisfied or not? He was obviously making fun of himself again.
But since he asked this, he still had to answer.
Qiao Liang grinned and nodded: "Satisfied, I'm very satisfied."
"Well, okay, I'll be relieved if Comrade Xiao Qiao is satisfied." Liao Gufeng said seriously.
Qiao Liang grinned again, Miao Peilong and Fang Xiaoya both laughed, and Lu Qian on the other side was so happy that she couldn't open her mouth from ear to ear.
Then Lu Qian said: "Chief, it's too cold outside. You can't stay too long. Go home quickly."
"Okay, listen to Comrade Xiao Lu and go home." Liao Gufeng chuckled and nodded.
Then Qiao Liang, Fang Xiaoya and Miao Peilong said goodbye and got into the car, and Fang Xiaoya started the car.
As soon as the car started, Miao Peilong took a deep breath and said, "Why did Director Lu call Secretary Liao Director?"
"She is from the central government department. She has seen too many high-ranking officials, so the chief should get used to it. Plus, she has a lively personality and likes to joke." Qiao Liang said casually, and looked back, just in time to see Lu Qian holding Liao Gufeng's arm.
With his arms bouncing, he walked towards the Provincial Party Committee Family Courtyard.
Qiao Liang smiled. Lu Qian had found an opportunity to get close to the chief. It seemed that she wanted to send Liao Gufeng home.
