Time passed in the evening, and Qiao Liang came to the hotel booked by Zheng Shanfu. He did not come alone, but still brought Sun Yong to the appointment.
Zheng Shanfu had been waiting for Qiao Liang at the door of the hotel in advance. As soon as he saw Qiao Liang arriving, Zheng Shanfu stepped forward with a smile on his face and said, "Secretary Qiao, you are here."
"Mr. Zheng, we meet again." Qiao Liang smiled.
"Secretary Qiao, I'm really sorry during the day. I can't see Mount Tai. Secretary Qiao, please don't see me like me." Zheng Shanfu said, glanced at Sun Yong next to Qiao Liang, and asked with a smile, "Secretary Qiao, This is..."
"This is Deputy Director Sun from the seventh room of our committee." Qiao Liang said.
"It turns out to be Director Sun, hello, hello." Zheng Shanfu's expression changed, and he quickly smiled flatteringly at Sun Yong.
"Mr. Zheng, I don't dare to take you seriously. During the day, Mr. Zheng said that Yangshan is your territory. I almost got rid of Mr. Zheng if I said a few words more. Mr. Zheng is so polite now. I Why do I feel so scared?" Sun Yong said with a mocking smile.
Zheng Shanfu was a little embarrassed and smiled unnaturally, "Director Sun, I have a bad habit. I like to talk nonsense after drinking. No, I had two drinks at noon, and I suddenly didn't know what was going on. , What I said at noon was pure nonsense, Director Sun, just think that I farted."
Sun Yong looked at the other party calmly and said nothing.
Zheng Shanfu quickly changed the subject and put on a respectful gesture, "Secretary Qiao, Director Sun, you two please——"
After the three of them entered the hotel box, Qiao Liang looked at the environment of the box and said with a smile, "Mr. Zheng, is this box too luxurious? We are disciplined and cannot accept reception that exceeds the standard. Are you going to let it go?" We made mistakes."
"Secretary Qiao, don't get me wrong. I want to apologize to you, and I must show my sincerity. If I invite you, Secretary Qiao, to eat at a roadside stall, it will be disrespectful to you, Secretary Qiao. Secretary Qiao Do you think so?" Zheng Shanfu said with a smile.
Qiao Liang looked at the other party. Zheng Shanfu was looking down and down, not knowing what the other party was up to.
Taking advantage of the time he took to sit down, Qiao Liang whispered to Sun Yong, "Find a free moment later and go out to pay."
Hearing this, Sun Yong understood what Qiao Liang meant and nodded immediately. He secretly lamented that Qiao Liang was cautious and received such an illegal reception. By doing this, Qiao Liang could prevent Zheng Shanfu from doing anything wrong.
Zheng Shanfu called the waiter to start serving the food. He looked back and forth on the faces of Qiao Liang and Sun Yong. He didn't know what he was thinking. After learning Sun Yong's identity just now, Zheng Shanfu was even more sure that the disciplinary department was here to investigate him and Yao Jian. He was really panicking, but what worried Zheng Shanfu more was that he didn't have a chance to be alone with Qiao Liang. He thought Qiao Liang would come alone, but he didn't expect Qiao Liang to bring Sun Yong with him.
As the waiter began to serve the food, Zheng Shanfu toasted Qiao Liang and Sun Yong while thinking about what to do.
The three of them chatted for a while. Qiao Liang saw that Zheng Shanfu was a little absent-minded and hadn't brought anything to the main topic. He couldn't help but secretly frowned. Did Zheng Shanfu really just apologize to him tonight? If that's really the case. , then it would be a waste of time for him to come here tonight.
After eating for more than half an hour, Qiao Liang glanced at Sun Yong. Sun Yong understood, stood up and said, "I want to go to the bathroom."
Sun Yong walked out. He was going to check out first. Zheng Shanfu looked happy when he saw Sun Yong leaving. After Sun Yong went out, Zheng Shanfu immediately took out a card from his pocket and put it in front of Qiao Liang. , said, "Secretary Qiao, this is my thoughts. I am really sorry for what happened during the day. This is also my apology to Secretary Qiao."
Qiao Liang looked at the bank card in front of him and remained motionless, looking at Zheng Shanfu with a playful smile, "Mr. Zheng, what do you mean?"
"Secretary Qiao, this is my apology to you." Zheng Shanfu said again. Seeing that Qiao Liang was indifferent, Zheng Shanfu thought that he had treated Qiao Liang and Sun Yong as reporters before and gave them two hundred thousand to send them away. At this moment, Liang also thought that there was not much money in the card, so he acted unmoved.
With this thought in his mind, Zheng Shanfu said, "Secretary Qiao, there is one million in this card. It is my filial piety to you. I hope Secretary Qiao will accept it."
"One million?" Qiao Liang looked at Zheng Shanfu, and the other party was quite generous.
The more this is the case, the more it shows that the other party is guilty.
Qiao Liang did not touch the card, but smiled and said, "Mr. Zheng, are you trying to apologize to me or bribe me?"
"It's all the same, this is what I'm saying to you, Secretary Qiao..." Zheng Shanfu replied subconsciously. Halfway through his words, Zheng Shanfu immediately realized something was wrong and quickly changed his words, "Secretary Qiao, don't get me wrong, this is not a bribe. You, this is purely to apologize to Secretary Qiao, and I have long admired your name, Secretary Qiao, and admire you very much. To be honest, I hope to make friends with you, Secretary Qiao."
"I'm really flattered by what Mr. Zheng said. I didn't expect that a small cadre like me could actually make Mr. Zheng hear my name." Qiao Liang said with a smile.
"Secretary Qiao, you are being humble when you say that. You were the youngest county magistrate in Jiangdong Province and you are very famous. It would be abnormal if I haven't heard of your name, County Magistrate Qiao." Zheng Shanfu patted Qiao Liang's horse. fart.
Qiao Liang smiled when he heard this, "Mr. Zheng, you are putting a high hat on me and giving me money. Could it be that you have done something with a guilty conscience?"
Zheng Shanfu was stunned and glanced at Qiao Liang calmly. He didn't know much about Qiao Liang, and he didn't know how to answer the question at this moment. Moreover, Qiao Liang seemed to be playing out of character.
Zheng Shanfu rolled his eyes and continued to test, "Secretary Qiao, if you think the money is small, I can add more, as long as you are satisfied."
After Zheng Shanfu finished speaking, someone pushed the door open and came in. It was Sun Yong who had just left.
When Zheng Shanfu saw Sun Yong coming back, he glanced at the card on the table, wondering whether to take the card back first. At this time, Qiao Liang reached out and pressed it on the card, covering the card with his palm.
Zheng Shanfu saw Qiao Liang's behavior and his expression was happy. Qiao Liang was moved and planned to accept the card.
Guessing like this, Zheng Shanfu showed a proud look on his face. Sure enough, no one dislikes money. It's just a matter of more money and less money.
Zheng Shanfu thought he had made the right move, but he didn't know that Qiao Liang looked at him with eyes full of scrutiny, as if he was making a decision.
Qiao Liang didn't say anything, and Zheng Shanfu thought more and more that he had guessed it right, especially when he saw Qiao Liang covering the card with his hand. Zheng Shanfu thought that Qiao Liang was afraid of being discovered by Sun Yong, who was traveling with him, so he stood up to help Qiao Liang smartly. Taking cover, he picked up the wine glass and walked to Sun Yong, standing between Qiao Liang and Sun Yong. He smiled and said, "Director Sun, I want to toast you."
Sun Yong curled his lips, picked up the wine glass and took a sip. His attitude was a bit perfunctory. If it weren't for Qiao Liang, Sun Yong wouldn't even bother to talk to Zheng Shan Fuxu.
Zheng Shanfu didn't care about Sun Yong's attitude at this moment. Seeing Qiao Liang already holding the card in his hand, the smile on Zheng Shanfu's face became brighter.
Qiao Liang said at this time, "Director Sun, go out and buy a pack of cigarettes for me."
"Buy cigarettes?" Sun Yong was stunned for a moment and looked at Qiao Liang strangely. Even if Qiao Liang had no cigarettes, it seemed a bit strange for him to buy cigarettes.
Seeing some hint in Qiao Liang's eyes, Sun Yong was confused, but he still stood up and said, "Secretary Qiao, I'm going to buy it right now."
Sun Yong walked out, and Zheng Shanfu immediately smiled and said, "Secretary Qiao, this million is just a token of appreciation for our first meeting. It is also my apology to Secretary Qiao. If you need anything in the future, Secretary Qiao, just say hello. Whatever I can do, I will go through fire and water."
When Zheng Shanfu was talking, Qiao Liang was sending text messages on his cell phone. He quickly put the phone down and looked at Zheng Shanfu with an inexplicable look in his eyes.
Outside, just after Sun Yong came out of the box, his phone vibrated. Seeing that it was a text message, Sun Yong picked it up and took a look. Seeing that it was from Qiao Liang, Sun Yong was slightly startled, especially after seeing the content in the text message. Sun Yong's eyes narrowed, what is Qiao Liang doing?
It turned out that Qiao Liang ordered Sun Yong in a text message to dispatch several investigators to prepare to take measures against Zheng Shanfu.
No wonder Qiao Liang wanted to send him out with an excuse just now!
Now Sun Yong finally understood why Qiao Liang suddenly asked him to come out to buy cigarettes just now. The cigarettes he bought were fake, but asking him to inform people was true.
After understanding Qiao Liang's intention, Sun Yong was a little puzzled. The current case had just been investigated, and Qiao Liang wanted to take measures against Zheng Shanfu so soon. Was it a little too hasty?
Sun Yong pondered for a moment, and finally followed Qiao Liang's instructions. Now that Qiao Liang and Zheng Shanfu were staying together, it was inconvenient for him to call Qiao Liang, and he believed that Qiao Liang must have had his own intentions in doing so.
In the hotel box, Zheng Shanfu had no idea what kind of text message Qiao Liang had just sent. At this time, he was still a little smug. He felt that he had done the right thing by coming to Qiao Liang tonight. Who doesn't love money these days? ?
Seeing Qiao Liang accept the card, Zheng Shanfu immediately felt that the relationship between Qiao Liang and him was different. The two were already his own. Zheng Shanfu couldn't wait to ask, "Secretary Qiao, I don't know why you came to Yangshan this time. ?”
"Mr. Zheng, does he want to inquire about the actions of our disciplinary department?" Qiao Liang smiled lightly.
Zheng Shanfu smiled sarcastically, "If it's not convenient for Secretary Qiao to say it, forget it."
"Mr. Zheng, there is actually nothing inconvenient to say. We came here because we received relevant reporting clues and came to Yangshan to investigate the disciplinary violations of individual leading cadres."
"I wonder which cadre it is?" Zheng Shanfu asked hurriedly.
"Mr. Zheng wants to know so much?" Qiao Liang looked at Zheng Shanfu with a half-smile, "Mr. Zheng, I might need your help in this matter later."
"Need my help?" Zheng Shanfu was stunned when he heard this. He always felt that something was wrong with what he said, and he didn't react for a while.
