Then Xu Honggang left, and Ye Xinyi and Qiao Liang returned to their offices.
Standing by the office window, Qiao Liang looked down and saw Xu Honggang walking slowly out with his hands behind his back. People passing by said hello to him from time to time.
Seeing Xu Honggang's carefree look, Qiao Liang couldn't help but want to laugh, and was proud of his clever arrangement.
Qiao Liang knew that just as the rumor spread wildly in the morning, the news of Xu Honggang's appearance in the municipal party committee compound would soon spread, and everyone would know that Xu Honggang had not been cheated.
Even members of the Standing Committee, including Jing Haoran, will know the news.
At this time, as ordinary people, when everyone sees Xu Honggang's appearance, they will subconsciously think that Xu Honggang is fine. However, the city's senior officials, including some division-level cadres, have more experience and knowledge, but they may not be so quick.
They think so. Before getting the exact information from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, they will still adopt a wait-and-see attitude. They will still feel that since the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection has talked with Xu Honggang, even if he has no major problems, he may not have minor problems.
As a cadre of Xu Honggang's level, even a trivial matter would cause him great disadvantage if his superiors took it seriously.
Therefore, even if Jing Haoran knew that Xu Honggang was back, he would not contact Xu Honggang rashly. He would wait and see how the situation develops.
At this time, Chu Heng was calling Tang Shusen in the office and told him about Xu Honggang's sudden appearance.
After hearing what Chu Heng said, Tang Shusen was silent for a long time, and then sneered: "I don't believe he can get away easily this time and clear his name. Don't look at him strutting around in the courtyard now. In fact, he is just bluffing to embolden himself."
"However, since he is still free after the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection talked to him, it also shows that the situation may have changed." Chu Heng said cautiously.
"What do you think the change is?"
"Facing the inquiry from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, the reasons he gave should be sufficient and he should be very confident, otherwise the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection would not let him go."
"This..." Tang Shusen pondered for a moment, "Xu Honggang's wife and children must have spent a lot of money in the United States for many years. He is a salary-earner, how can he get so much money? Are these sources of funds legitimate? If so, what will happen?
What channel is it?”
Chu Heng frowned and thought about it, but said nothing for a while.
Tang Shusen also fell into deep thought.
At this time, Qiao Liang was calling Li Youwei and told him about Xu Hong's return.
Li Youwei was very happy to hear this: "Liang Zi, please inform Lao Xu and invite him to my house for dinner tonight. I will tell your sister-in-law and ask her to prepare some dishes that Lao Xu likes to eat. He and I will have a good drink tonight."
A few cups, so that he can calm down his shock... By the way, I'll ask Xiaoya to come over too."
Qiao Liang agreed and hung up the phone, then dialed Xu Honggang and told him about Li Youwei's treat. Xu Honggang simply agreed.
Then Qiao Liang went to Ye Xinyi's office: "Minister Ye, Secretary Li is going to invite Minister Xu to his home for dinner tonight. Are you free?"
Qiao Liang knew that if Ye Xinyi went, neither Li Youwei nor Xu Honggang would object, and would even be pleased.
Upon hearing this, Ye Xinyi nodded neatly: "I'm free, no problem."
"Then let's go there together after get off work?"
"Okay." Ye Xinyi nodded, then thought of something again, and said with a straight face, "Qiao Liang, I'm warning you, don't tease me if you drink too much at the wine table tonight, or I'll be rude to you."
Qiao Liang grinned: "Hey, Minister Ye, judging from what you said, have I ever teased you once?"
"Bah, not once, but many times." Ye Xinyi said angrily.
"How many times?" Qiao Liang blinked.
"I can't remember exactly, but it was many times."
Qiao Liang's face tightened: "You can't remember how many times you did it, how did you become a leader? It's just nonsense."
"What's wrong?" Ye Xinyi was a little dizzy.
Qiao Liang said confidently: "I can't remember how many times, which means you don't take it to heart that I tease you at all. Since you don't take it to heart, why not tease me a few more times to deepen the impression on you?"
"You--" Ye Xinyi was choked. This kid is really capable of making excuses, and he can even be said to be rude. This made me so angry.
"Get out, get out." Ye Xinyi couldn't resist Qiao Liang and pushed him out directly. Qiao Liang laughed and said as he walked, "Minister Ye, you can actually tease me. I promise you won't be angry..."
Bah, I won't be fooled. I'll be at a loss for teasing you. Ye Xinyi closed the door and sighed, feeling a headache again. How could she find a chance to tease this kid and get revenge?
After get off work, Qiao Liang and Ye Xinyi walked out together. As they walked, Ye Xinyi said: "You can't go to Mr. Li's house for dinner empty-handed. You have to buy some gifts to take with you."
"Okay, let's buy some fruit."
Ye Xinyi shook her head: "I can't get enough fruit, so buy something else."
"Then buy a roasted chicken, it's perfect for dinner." Qiao Liang smacked his lips.
Ye Xinyi curled her lips: "You know how much roast chicken is worth."
"Then what do you want to buy?"
"Otherwise, let's buy two bottles of Maotai."
"Okay, if you pay, I guarantee that I can drink a bottle tonight." Qiao Liang said with a bared smile.
Ye Xinyi snorted: "A stingy person, a drunkard, a greedy person..."
While the two were talking, a woman's voice came from behind: "Hey, where are you two going to eat and drink Maotai..."
The two of them looked back and saw Liu Yiping standing behind them with a smile.
Liu Yiping came to Jiangzhou for business and stopped by Fengdanian's office to sit for a while.
Seeing Liu Yiping, Ye Xinyi was startled. When did she come to the municipal party committee compound? Why didn't she see her in the ministry?
Qiao Liang looked at Liu Yiping calmly. It was obvious that she had no intention of going to the ministry at all. She should have gone to Fengdanian.
Ye Xinyi looked at Qiao Liang and wondered whether she should tell Liu Yiping about going to Li Youwei's house for dinner.
Qiao Liang looked at Liu Yiping and suddenly felt something in his heart: "Minister Liu, Minister Xu has just arrived in Jiangzhou. Secretary Li will host a family dinner for Minister Xu tonight. Minister Ye and I will attend. If you are okay, come with us."
Qiao Liang invited Liu Yiping on purpose.
Liu Yiping was slightly startled. She had just learned about Xu Honggang from Feng Danian. She knew that although Xu Honggang was back, his affairs might not have been completely wiped clean. At this time, it was better to have less contact with Xu Honggang.
Thinking of this, Liu Yiping suddenly regretted that he shouldn't have said hello to them, but now that the matter had come to this point, he could only find an excuse to shirk it, so he said, "Oh, I really want to have dinner with Minister Xu, but the county today
There is an important reception tonight, I have to rush back, what a pity."
Looking at Liu Yiping's expression, Qiao Liang knew that she was lying and laughed: "That's a pity, but it's understandable."
"Then I'll leave first." Liu Yiping waved her hand and walked away quickly.
Looking at Liu Yiping's back, Qiao Liang let out a chuckle.
"Why are you smiling like that?" Ye Xinyi looked at Ye Xinyi strangely.
"I'm happy, you don't care." Qiao Liang walked away.
Ye Xinyi curled her lips and followed.
Half an hour later, Qiao Liang and Ye Xinyi took a taxi to the door of Li Youwei's house. When they opened the door, Ye Xinyi came out carrying two bottles of Maotai.
"Minister Ye, let me help you carry it," Qiao Liang said.
