"Secretary Zheng, don't worry, I've been beaten all the way." Qiao Liang said with a smile.
"That's right, it seems I'm worrying too much." Zheng Shidong laughed.
The two chatted for a few minutes. Qiao Liang knew that it was very late and did not disturb Zheng Shidong's rest any more.
Early the next morning, Qiao Liang rushed to the unit early, handled official duties for a while, and then rushed back to Qiaojiayu with the staff.
Qiao Liang's parents were waiting at home. After they discovered five gold bars in the fruit basket last night, they didn't sleep much all night. They just put the gold bars under the quilt, fearing that the gold bars would be lost.
Waiting for Qiao Liang to come home, the two elders yawned again and again, looking sleepy.
It was almost noon when Qiao Liang arrived home. Qiao Liang's father finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Qiao Liang was back. He quickly gave the gold bar to Qiao Liang and said, "Liang Zi, I feel relieved when I see you back. This gold bar My heart is hanging in mid-air before it is handed over to you for a moment."
"Dad, please remember not to collect other people's things randomly in the future." Qiao Liang said with a smile.
"Oh, we didn't want to accept it at all. When the guest was leaving yesterday, your mother and I chased him out to return the basket of fruits. But he refused to take it away and drove away in the car. Later, Your mother and I thought it was just a basket of fruit, so we didn't think much about it. We just took it back and put it in the living room. If I hadn't been hungry last night and looked for something to eat, we wouldn't have noticed the gold bars under the fruit." Qiao Liang's father. He smiled bitterly.
Qiao Liang nodded. He knew that his parents could not be blamed for this. The two elders were simple and kind-hearted, and they never thought that anyone would give gifts in this way.
While Qiao Liang was talking to his parents, the disciplinary department staff who came next to him had already started recording.
Qiao Liang handed the gold bars to another staff member, and asked his father to explain the situation to the camera. After everything was done according to regulations, the two staff members returned to the city with the gold bars, while Qiao Liang stayed with him. I met my parents for a while.
In the afternoon, Qiao Liang left Qiaojiayu, but he did not go back to the city directly, but came to Sanjiang County.
On a rare trip back, Qiao Liang made an appointment with You Chengdong for dinner in the evening.
You Chengdong was already waiting at the entrance of Sanjiang Hotel in advance. When he saw Qiao Liang coming, You Chengdong stepped forward and put his arm on Qiao Liang's shoulder and said, "Brother Qiao, you didn't even say a word to me when you returned to Qiaojiayu. I'll accompany you." You go back together."
"Brother You, you are so busy with official duties, how dare I ask you to accompany me." Qiao Liang said with a smile.
"Look at what you said. Do we deserve to be so open-minded?" You Chengdong said dissatisfied, "Just for saying this to you, you must punish yourself with three drinks tonight."
"Okay, I'll punish myself with three cups later." Qiao Liang laughed.
You Chengdong nodded with satisfaction and said with some regret, "Lao Zhuang has been transferred to Yangshan. It's just the two of us tonight, so we're missing a drinking companion."
You Chengdong was talking about Zhuang Jiaming. Qiao Liang laughed and said, "Brother You, let's go to Yangshan to have a drink with him from now on."
You Chengdong nodded, glanced at Qiao Liang, and said, "Brother Qiao, I heard that Lao Zhuang said that he can be promoted this time, but you recommended it to Secretary Wu. When will you help me put in a good word in front of Secretary Wu?" Sentence, let me also be promoted."
"Brother You, your level is too high. I didn't say it would work." Qiao Liang said with a smile.
"Brother Qiao, you obviously don't want to help me." You Chengdong snorted. Although he was joking with Qiao Liang, his thoughts have indeed become more active recently due to the personnel changes in the city. Look up, as a cadre, if you don't have even the most basic ambition, you are obviously not a good cadre. And at You Chengdong's age, he can still make a lot of achievements in the future, so he hopes to take advantage of this market more than anyone else. There is an opportunity to further reshuffle the personnel structure here, and he has been traveling to the province a lot recently.
But as the province appointed a new deputy secretary of Jiangzhou, You Chengdong's heart felt cold. Seeing that the deputy secretary had no chance, You Chengdong turned his attention to the vacant executive deputy mayor in the city. One position.
You Chengdong knew very well that he was at the disadvantage of not having good connections in the province. Therefore, he had visited the province several times these days, just hoping to open up some connections.
Of course, apart from the relationship with the province, he also had to have important leaders in the city to support him, so You Chengdong planned to have a good chat with Qiao Liang. If Qiao Liang hadn't invited him to dinner tonight, You Chengdong would have also He planned to go to the city to find Qiao Liang in the next two days. He really planned to ask Qiao Liang to help him play more drums at Wu Huiwen's place.
The two walked into the hotel box. You Chengdong thought that he had forgotten to take down the wine in the car. He slapped his forehead and said to his secretary, "Xiao Zhang, I forgot to take down the wine in the car. Go and get it quickly."
You Chengdong's secretary is Zhang Hua, who has been following You Chengdong since he was transferred to Sanjiang, and is deeply loved by You Chengdong.
Asking secretary Zhang Hua to get the wine, You Chengdong pulled Qiao Liang to sit down and said, "Brother Qiao, we won't go home until we get drunk tonight. I brought a few bottles of foreign wine..."
"Brother You, you are trying to get me drunk. Foreign wine is very powerful. How can we drink a few bottles?" Qiao Liang didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"No problem, I know your brother Qiao's drinking capacity is not ordinary." You Chengdong said.
"Then don't drink too much." Qiao Liang smacked his lips.
"It's okay, let's drink slowly. Anyway, we have plenty of time tonight." You Chengdong said, "It just so happens that I also want to have a good chat with you, brother."
After hearing this, Qiao Liang realized that You Chengdong seemed to be in trouble, so he couldn't help but look at him more.
While the two were talking, a noise suddenly came from outside the door. They didn't pay attention at first, but the box door was suddenly pushed open.
"Secretary You, I'm sorry, they insisted on barging in." The hotel waiter recognized You Chengdong because this was You Chengdong's exclusive box. Every time You Chengdong came over, he ate in this box, so the waiter immediately I apologized to You Chengdong and said to the uninvited guests who came in, "Gentlemen, this box is really occupied. You can change to a box."
"I want this box and let them move to another place." said a young man standing in front.
Qiao Liang's eyes suddenly narrowed. He had recognized this young man, it was Tang Yuntian. Lu Qian had already mentioned his background to him before, and he was the grandson of the old leader Su Huaxin.
Qiao Liang didn't expect to meet the other party in Sanjiang County, and judging from the other party's appearance, it seemed that he did it on purpose.
You Chengdong didn't know who Tang Yuntian was. Seeing someone who dared to run wild on his territory and wanted to snatch his box and ask him to move, You Chengdong immediately became angry and stared at Tang Yuntian. Just look at it, damn, where did this young man come from? He has no idea how high the sky is and how many eyes Lord Ma has.
Before You Chengdong could say anything, his secretary Zhang Hua had already brought back the wine. As soon as he got out of the elevator, he saw these people forcing their way in. He quickly walked into the box and yelled, "What are you doing? Leave quickly." .”
"It's none of your business." Tang Yuntian glanced at Zhang Hua and punched him without saying a word.
Damn it, You Chengdong stood up suddenly, this is so lawless!
Qiao Liang was speechless when he saw Tang Yuntian hitting someone whenever he disagreed. This young man was simply too arrogant.
On the side, You Chengdong's secretary Zhang Hua was even more stunned. His eyes were wide open and he stared at him, "You...why are you beating someone?"
"Why do I hit you? Get out of here." Tang Yuntian snorted.
Next to Tang Yuntian, the person accompanying him was Xie Weidong. In addition to helping Xu Honggang take care of his private business, Xie Weidong's other task assigned to him by Xu Honggang was to accompany Tang Yuntian. He said he was accompanying him, but in fact, he was letting Xie Weidong keep an eye on Tang Yuntian. , try to keep Tang Yuntian from causing trouble.
Xu Honggang was undoubtedly troubled by Tang Yuntian. The other party had only been in Jiangzhou for a few days and he almost got into trouble twice. If Lu Ming hadn't been his man, Xu Honggang would have wiped Tang Yuntian's butt himself. , Therefore, when Xu Honggang asked Xie Weidong to accompany Tang Yuntian, he was also afraid that Tang Yuntian would stir up some big trouble.
Xie Weidong also noticed Qiao Liang at this moment and got a headache. He didn't expect that Tang Yuntian just suddenly said that he wanted to change the box, and he actually wanted to change to Qiao Liang's box. Moreover, Tang Yuntian started causing trouble as soon as he came. It was obviously intentional. .
Xie Weidong didn't know that Tang Yuntian and Qiao Liang had two "unpleasant" interactions before. Now seeing Qiao Liang in this box, Xie Weidong's first thought was to put an end to the matter quickly, but Tang Yuntian's actions really scared Xie Weidong. Suddenly, the other party actually started to hit him. This scared Xie Weidong. He quickly said, "Mr. Tang, there are so many private rooms in this hotel. Let's find another private room."
"What are you going to change? I want this box." Tang Yuntian said carelessly, while looking at Qiao Liang provocatively, "You guys go to a box."
"Where did you come from, you brat? It's too late to apologize and leave now, otherwise don't blame me for being rude." You Chengdong was very angry.
"Shut up, or I'll beat you up too." Tang Yuntian raised his finger and pointed at You Chengdong. He really explained what it meant to be arrogant. When he came from the capital, without the restraints of his elders at home, Tang Yuntian let himself go completely. Losing himself, and thinking that he had Su Huaxin as his backer, Tang Yuntian felt that nothing could be settled, especially in Jiangzhou, where Mayor Xu Honggang and Municipal Bureau Director Lu Ming were both polite to him. Youjia, calling Young Master Tang one after another, vaguely intending to please him, Tang Yuntian can be said to be unscrupulous.
In fact, there is no special reason why he appeared in Sanjiang County today. Although Tang Yuntian has not been in Jiangzhou for many days, he hangs out in Jiangzhou's bars and nightclubs every day, going in and out of various high-end clubs, and he has become a nightclub. The little prince also made a lot of friends, including some kids from rich families who also went to nightclubs every day. They were a group of young people who had similar personalities, and many of them also liked playing motorcycles. Tang Yuntian quickly formed a motorcycle team. I heard that Since there are mountainous areas in Sanjiang that are very suitable for motorcycle racing, a group of people made a special trip to Sanjiang today to race.
