Xu Honggang's eyelids twitched: "Someone does know about my old classmate, but how could he..."
"I wonder if it was Kang Dewang. Maybe he found out about this from your classmate and then told some people in Jiangzhou." Qiao Liang said directly.
Xu Honggang's eyelids twitched again, he thought for a moment, and nodded: "It seems that it should be like this. It seems that I understand."
Qiao Liang said: "Minister Xu, I have an intuition."
"What intuition?" Xu Honggang looked at Qiao Liang.
"While you were studying in Beijing, someone seemed to have been staring at you. Of course, I don't mean stalking when I say staring."
Xu Honggang frowned slightly and began to think deeply again.
Qiao Liang didn't say anything and continued to drink water.
For a long time, Xu Honggang took a puff of cigarette, slowly protruding a string of smoke rings, squinting his eyes, watching the smoke rings slowly spreading in the air...
"These days, we are not afraid of thieves stealing, but we are afraid of being missed." Xu Honggang chuckled.
"Yes." Qiao Liang nodded.
"By the way, are you and Xiao Zhang okay?" Xu Honggang suddenly changed the subject and asked.
Qiao Liang was startled. She didn't know why Xu Honggang suddenly asked this. Of course, she couldn't tell Xu Honggang about her divorce with Zhang Mei, and no one could tell it, so she nodded: "It's okay."
"Well, that's good. Marriage is the most important thing in a person's life. It should be cherished and maintained well." Xu Honggang nodded.
Qiao Liang felt a sense of sadness in his heart. He cherished a bird and protected it, but it would have been gone long ago.
"Is Minister Ye unhappy at work recently?" Xu Honggang asked again.
Qiao Liang thought about it. Ever since Xu Honggang went to Beijing, Chu Heng had been making things difficult for Ye Xinyi at work, and Ye Xinyi was indeed in a bad position.
Qiao Liang nodded: "It seems like it should be."
"Is it because of Minister Chu?" Xu Honggang asked.
Qiao Liang nodded again.
Xu Honggang nodded, took two puffs of cigarette, and then chuckled softly.
Qiao Liang couldn't guess what Xu Honggang was thinking at this time, nor did he know why he was laughing.
After a while, Xu Honggang said: "Xiao Qiao, remember, no matter how Minister Chu continues to make things difficult for Minister Ye in the future, no matter how wronged Minister Ye is, no matter who is right or wrong, you must not get involved."
Qiao Liang couldn't figure out the meaning of Xu Honggang's words for a moment, so he nodded: "Okay, I understand."
Xu Honggang then stood up and walked to the window. When he opened the window, a cold air rushed in, and Qiao Liang couldn't help but shudder.
Xu Honggang stood at the window, looking at the deep night sky in the winter night. He was silent for a long time and murmured: "The road is long and the night is long..."
Qiao Liang looked at Xu Honggang's back in silence, thinking about what happened in the past two days, thinking about what Xu Honggang said to him tonight, and fell into deep thought...
After breakfast at dawn, Xu Honggang took Xiao Zheng's car and left, and Xiao Zheng took him directly back to Beijing.
Xu Honggang came and went in a hurry this time, seemingly leaving no trace.
With the coming and going of Xu Honggang, the topic in the municipal party committee compound that was going viral yesterday suddenly changed direction today. Everyone is speculating again whether someone is messing with Xu Honggang behind his back, and whether Xu Honggang's incident will leave any traces.
Two days later, accurate news finally came from above. After an investigation, it was found that it was true that Xu Honggang's wife and children were in the United States, but the source of the funds spent was reasonable and there was nothing inappropriate.
At the same time, because Xu Honggang failed to promptly report to the organization the affairs of his family members abroad, the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection verbally criticized him, and this will not be the case in the future.
Sure enough, everything went as Li Youwei expected, and Qiao Liang breathed a sigh of relief.
Jing Haoran was also relieved. If something happened to Xu Honggang, he would be responsible for failing to lead the team well and would not be able to explain it to the provincial party committee.
Tang Shusen felt frustrated. Damn it, a well-planned attack was just raised high and dropped gently, and it ended with a big wind and a small rain. It was a waste of effort.
This made Tang Shusen very unwilling.
Since he is unwilling to give in, he must continue to think about how to deal with Xu Honggang. This kid is studying full-time in Beijing. It is a rare opportunity and cannot be wasted.
How to engage in Xu Honggang again? Tang Shusen rolled his eyes, thinking about what he learned from Kang Dewang about meeting Qiao Liang and Fang Xiaoya in Huangyuan, and thinking about Chint Group taking over the Songbei Cultural Tourism Pioneer Park project, with a smile on his face
A cold smile...
This morning, Qiao Liang was reporting something in Chu Heng's office, and Ye Xinyi came in.
"Minister Chu, I just received a call. Qin Chuan, the executive deputy director of the Propaganda Department of the Guanzhou Municipal Party Committee, wants to bring someone to our place for a visit and study. He will arrive tomorrow morning."
Guanzhou is a neighboring city to Jiangzhou. Although it is a prefecture-level city on the same level as Jiangzhou, its area and population are incomparable to Jiangzhou. It is the smallest prefecture-level city in Jiangdong Province, and Luo Fei is the mayor there.
"Oh..." Chu Heng nodded casually, "Who are Minister Qin and his party?"
"In addition to Minister Qin, there are also the deputy director in charge of news and the chief of the news section of the Propaganda Department of the Guanzhou Municipal Party Committee, as well as the editor-in-chief of Guanzhou Daily. They mainly want to know about our red tourism promotion content during this trip," Ye Xinyi said.
"Okay, I understand. I will personally receive Minister Qin and his party tomorrow." Chu Heng then said to Qiao Liang, "Director Qiao, please notify the newspaper office and let Mr. Wen attend the reception tomorrow."
Qiao Liang nodded and thought secretly. Since it was a counterpart reception, judging from the people coming and the content of the study, it was natural for Ye Xinyi to participate in the reception, but now Chu Heng neither said that Ye Xinyi would be allowed to participate, nor that he would not allow it.
She participated without knowing her true intentions.
Thinking of this, Qiao Liang felt that it was necessary to clarify, and said: "Minister Chu, who else will be attending the reception tomorrow?"
Chu Heng said simply: "Besides me and you, please inform the news section chief."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Liang's heart trembled. Damn, Chu Heng clearly did this deliberately to expose Ye Xinyi and to make her look ugly.
Ye Xinyi obviously realized something, her eyelids twitched, she pursed her lips, and then went out.
Watching Ye Xinyi go out, Chu Heng had a faint sneer on his lips.
Qiao Liang felt aggrieved for Ye Xinyi. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly remembered what Xu Honggang had told him. He swallowed the words and decided not to say anything, and then went out to give the notice.
After giving the notice, Qiao Liang went to Ye Xinyi's office, where she was sitting in front of her desk in a daze.
"Minister Ye, at tomorrow's reception, the deputy minister in charge of news will come, so you should attend." Qiao Liang sat opposite Ye Xinyi and said.
Ye Xinyi rolled her eyelids: "There are a lot of things that should be done, but Minister Chu won't let me participate, so I just have a good time."
"Are you unhappy?"
"What am I unhappy with?"
"You understand in your heart."
Ye Xinyi sneered: "Since Minister Xu went to Beijing to study, similar things have happened more than once. I have already adapted to it, so it doesn't matter."
Qiao Liang sighed: "Actually, ever since Minister Chu took charge of the work of the department, I have felt that he seems to be in trouble with you at every turn. He has made things difficult for you and ostracized you once or twice. Are you just going to keep putting up with this?
