"It went smoothly, but I feel like he was a little dishonest and didn't explain all the issues." Sun Yong said.
"That's for sure. As long as it's something we haven't found, he won't tell you everything. He's not stupid." Qiao Liang smiled, "By the way, you guys go to those famous wines he collected that I told you about.
Has it been seized?”
"It has been sealed and has been shipped to the designated warehouse. Just two days ago, we asked knowledgeable wine appraisal experts to complete the appraisal and estimate the price. After the investigation of the case is completed, a public auction will be held in accordance with relevant regulations, and the proceeds will be turned over to the state treasury.
." Sun Yong answered Qiao Liang's words and said, "This Guan Zhitao has been greedy a lot. Just for the famous wines we seized, do you know how much they are worth after valuation? It's five to six million, what the hell?
, This is just a conservative valuation. You said the wine he received alone is worth so much money, what about other money and goods? This Guan Zhitao is definitely a greedy person."
"Whether it is a big corruption, you will find out if you continue to investigate. In short, we must not let go of any clues." Qiao Liang said.
"I understand." Sun Yong nodded, "I am about to send someone to Hainan. Didn't Guan Zhitao keep an outhouse? We have found out that the person is in Hainan, and we plan to bring him back to assist in the investigation."
"Well, I can rest assured that you will handle this case." Qiao Liang smiled slightly, "In short, we have completed the task relatively satisfactorily."
"It was only under the leadership of Secretary Qiao that we were able to successfully complete the task." Sun Yong said with a smile.
"Sun Yong, it's just the Chinese New Year, you're really good at flattery." Qiao Liang pointed at Sun Yong with a smile.
The two were chatting and laughing, and time passed by in the evening. After get off work, Qiao Liang did not leave immediately. He had accumulated more than a week's work. Qiao Liang had just come to work today and planned to work overtime before going back.
On the other side of the city compound, Wu Huiwen's secretary Wan Hong finished her work, determined that Wu Huiwen had no other plans for the evening, and left in a hurry.
After walking a short distance from the gate of the city compound and turning a corner, Wan Hong stopped. At this time, a car stopped next to Wan Hong, and the driver was Xue Yuan.
Wan Hong opened the passenger door and got in. Xue Yuan started the car with a smile on his face and turned to look at Wan Hong, "Chief Wan Ke, what do you want to eat tonight?"
"I'm not picky about what I eat, I can eat anything." Wan Hong said.
"Okay, I know an authentic local restaurant, let's go try it." Xue Yuan said with a smile.
Wan Hong nodded, glanced at Xue Yuan, and hesitated to speak.
Wan Hong originally didn't want to agree to Xue Yuan's invitation tonight, but after hesitation, Wan Hong still agreed because Wan Hong felt that there were some things that should be discussed clearly with Xue Yuan to avoid causing unnecessary trouble to the two of them in the future.
Xue Yuan, who had been paying attention to Wan Hong, noticed something strange about her and asked proactively, "Chief Wan, do you want to say something?"
Wan Hong opened her mouth, not knowing how to speak for a moment. She wanted to ask Xue Yuan if he wanted to pursue her, but she was afraid that she would be embarrassed if she got the wrong idea. After all, it was a bit embarrassing for a woman to take the initiative to bring up this topic.
"Chief Wanke, we can be considered friends now. There is nothing we can't talk about between friends, don't you think so?" Xue Yuan asked again.
Hearing what Xue Yuan said, Wan Hong gritted his teeth and said bravely, "Chief Xue, you...are you going to chase me?"
"Chief Wanke, why do you ask that?" Xue Yuan's eyes flickered and he pretended to be surprised.
Xue Yuan's rhetorical question made Wan Hong speechless. After thinking about it, Wan Hong said, "Chief Xue, maybe I'm overthinking, but I think we need to make something clear. You have a girlfriend." , I also have a boyfriend, and since you and I are in special jobs, we should keep our distance. After all, if there is any scandal, it will not have a good impact on us, and it may even affect our work. , you...do you understand what I mean?"
After hearing Wan Hong's words, Xue Yuan pretended to be silent. After a long time, Xue Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "Chief Wan, I understand that your concerns are right, but I didn't think carefully."
Seeing Xue Yuan's expression, Wan Hong felt a little embarrassed. She felt that what she just said was a bit hurtful, so she said, "Chief Xue, I don't mean anything else. You must not take it to heart, but we should really pay attention." It will have an impact.”
"Well, I will pay attention to it." Xue Yuan nodded silently, "Chief Wanke, actually you have misunderstood me a little. I know that I have been caring about you recently and may have caused you some misunderstandings, but I have no such problem. Meaning, I just feel that we are in the same boat, and since you are alone in Jiangzhou, I can't help but give you more care."
"We share the same problem?" Wan Hong looked at Xue Yuan doubtfully.
"That's right." Xue Yuan nodded affirmatively, "Do you still remember the night we had dinner for the first time? You were still drunk."
"Of course I remember." Wan Hong nodded, still blushing slightly. The first time she had dinner with Xue Yuan, she got drunk and made a fool of herself in front of Xue Yuan. It was Xue Yuan who sent her back to the dormitory that night and kept watch. After sleeping with her all night, Xue Yuan fell ill with a cold and fever.
Xue Yuan continued, "That night when you were drunk, you accidentally confided what happened between you and your boyfriend. After listening to it, I felt the same way. The relationship between Wu Wenwen and me is not the same as that between you and your boyfriend. The two of us are now In addition to quarrels and quarrels, this relationship has long made me exhausted."
"The relationship between you and Director Wu is also not good?" Wan Hong asked in surprise.
"Yes, my relationship with her is not good." Xue Yuan sighed, "Outsiders think that we are a talented and beautiful woman, a match made in heaven, but only the two of us know the real situation. There is no relationship. It looks so glamorous to outsiders."
"Yes, only you can know the ups and downs of feelings." Wan Hong nodded with deep feeling.
"Chief Wanke, you should understand that I don't have any other intention to care about you. I just feel that we share the same problem, and then I feel close when I look at you, as if we are like old friends who have known each other for a long time, and I subconsciously think I care about you more."
Xue Yuan deliberately used the word 'old friend' too strongly. Wan Hong laughed and said, "It seems that I am being sentimental. What I just said is really laughable. Chief Xue, you are so stupid." Don’t take it personally.”
After Wan Hong said this, she felt relaxed and lost in her heart. The reason why she felt relaxed was that it turned out that Xue Yuan was not pursuing her. This made Wan Hong feel relieved, but she felt lost also because Xue Yuan was not pursuing her. While pursuing her, Wan Hong couldn't help but wonder, isn't she charming enough?
Sometimes people are such contradictory individuals.
The two started talking, and Wan Hong looked at Xue Yuan more naturally. She had a good impression of Xue Yuan, and she did not reject having a friend like Xue Yuan. Xue Yuan was right, she was alone In Jiangzhou, she had just integrated into the work life here and had no real friends yet. Xue Yuan's words really spoke to her heart.
Feeling relieved, Wan Hong smiled and said, "Chief Xue, I think we don't need to go out to eat, so we went to my dormitory. I just bought a lot of ingredients yesterday. Let's cook two side dishes and have a drink. That's it. For the sympathy you mentioned, we have to have a drink too."
"Okay." Xue Yuan's eyes flashed and he responded with a smile on his face.
After Xue Yuan finished speaking, he immediately turned around and headed towards Wan Hong's dormitory. He had already been there once and knew where it was.
After arriving at Wan Hong's dormitory, Xue Yuan helped Wan Hong cook and prepare dinner. He and Wu Wenwen never did this when they were together, but in order to make Wan Hong have a better impression, Xue Yuan worked hard to create a warm and warm atmosphere. Male image.
The two of them started frying two or three side dishes together very quickly. Half an hour later, the three dishes were already placed on the table. Except for the soup that was still being simmered in the kitchen, the dishes were all ready. The two of them sat down to eat first. .
"Come on, let's have a drink first for our friend who is suffering from the same disease." Wan Hong picked up the wine glass before even using her chopsticks.
"Chief Wanke, you should take it easy when you drink like this. Don't get drunk like last time." Xue Yuan said with a smile.
"It's okay. I drank at home today. I'm really going to get drunk. The worst I can do is lie down and sleep." Wan Hong laughed. At this time, she was completely unprepared for Xue Yuan. Last time, Xue Yuan stayed beside her all night. , honestly did nothing, Wan Hong already regarded Xue Yuan as a gentleman.
When Xue Yuan heard Wan Hong's words, he smiled and picked up his wine glass and drank with the other party. They both drank it down in one gulp, and Wan Hong quickly filled it up for them both.
Xue Yuan pretended to be casual and asked, "Chief Wan, how are you and your boyfriend doing? Has your relationship eased a bit during the New Year?"
"Don't mention it. He didn't even go to my house during the Chinese New Year this year, which made my parents very unhappy." Wan Hong looked a little unhappy. Now her parents also advised her to break up, which made Wan Hong feel extremely conflicted.
Wan Hong's words made a hint of joy appear deep in Xue Yuan's eyes, but Xue Yuan covered it up well. Wan Hong, who was in a depressed mood, didn't notice at all and picked up the wine glass and drank another drink.
Seeing Wan Hong's drinking style, Xue Yuan glanced at Wan Hong. Wan Hong was afraid that he would get drunk again if he drank like this. Drinking on an empty stomach, red wine has a strong stamina. Wan Hong just started drinking two glasses of red wine in a row. Will he stay still? It's weird to be drunk. He had noticed when he had dinner with Wan Hong last time that Wan Hong's drinking capacity was not that big.
Wan Hong was obviously at her own home tonight and felt more at ease with Xue Yuan, so she didn't think much about it. After drinking two glasses of wine, she invited Xue Yuan to drink again. In the end, Xue Yuan suggested eating something first. , Wan Hong moved his chopsticks.
"Wine is really a good thing. When you're drunk, you won't have any worries at all." Wan Hong suddenly said with emotion after taking a few bites of the food.
"How else could the ancients say that one drink can solve a thousand sorrows?" Xue Yuan said with a smile.
"That's right, Du Kang is the only one who can relieve your worries." Wan Hong laughed and looked at Xue Yuan and said, "Chief Xue, you do drink too. I heard people say that you have a good capacity for drinking."
