It can be seen from the tone of Zheng Guohong's conversation with Liao Gufeng just now that Zheng Guohong's attitude toward Liao Gufeng now is somewhat respectful. This is different from his attitude during the Chinese New Year. At that time, Liao Gufeng had not yet been promoted, and their status was still equal.
Yes, but now Liao Gufeng has gone one step further. In terms of status and level, he is above him. Zheng Guohong's attitude towards Liao Gufeng has naturally changed.
The day passed quickly. The next morning, Qiao Liang took his third son's car and drove his parents from the hotel to the airport.
Because of the drunk driving incident, Qiao Liang can't drive for half a year, and he doesn't want people at work to know about his engagement, so now he can only trouble the third child. Yesterday afternoon, he also entrusted the third child to drive back to Qiaojiayu to pick up his parents in the city.
Come.
After bringing her parents to the city yesterday afternoon, Qiao Liang accompanied her parents to the mall to buy two more decent clothes, and then let her parents stay at the hotel in the evening so as not to rush out from Qiaojiayu in the morning.
This time, Qiao Liang's parents, who are usually thrifty, did not refuse. After all, they wanted to discuss their son's marriage with the woman's family. Dressing solemnly and decently was also a sign of respect for the other party, and it had nothing to do with the other party's status.
At the exit of the airport, Qiao Liang and her parents were waiting at the entrance. Qiao Liang looked at the time and at the exit of the airport in front of him. He was distracted from time to time and didn't know what he was thinking about.
Turning around inadvertently, she saw her parents looking a little embarrassed. Qiao Liang felt a little emotional for no reason. Perhaps her parents never thought that their son would marry the daughter of such an older leader, right?
Qiao Liang knew very well that for an ordinary rural family like the Qiao family, being able to marry into a family like the Liao family would not be an exaggeration to say that the ancestral graves were smoking.
It felt like Qiao Liang had hugged him on his lap this time.
At this moment, Qiao Liang's mind was filled with all kinds of thoughts, and he had an indescribable feeling in his heart. When his feelings were about to reach their final destination, could his heart really calm down?
After a brief absence, Qiao Liang came back to his senses and comforted his parents and said, "Mom, Dad, you don't have to be too restrained. Lu Qian's parents are very easy to get along with. You met them during the Chinese New Year. Let's treat them now."
Just treat it like a friend."
"That's different. When we were in the hospital during the Chinese New Year, we didn't expect to get married to such an important leader, so we didn't care that much. Now that we have to talk to someone's daughter, we are inevitably a little uneasy and afraid.
We have neglected others by not being polite." Qiao Liang's mother said.
Qiao Liang laughed and said, "Mom, people don't care about the red tape. This meeting is mainly just a formality. In fact, I asked Lu Qian's father not to come in person. He is usually very busy with work. I and I
He said he could just call you to briefly discuss the engagement, but he insisted on coming in person."
Qiao Liang's father heard this and said, "The more people pay attention to it, the less we can neglect it."
As Qiao Liang's father spoke, he subconsciously pulled on his clothes, adjusted his collar, and asked Qiao Liang, "Liang Zi, are my clothes not crooked?"
Qiao Liang said with a smile, "Dad, you are not dressed crookedly. You are dressed very stylishly. I have never seen you look so handsome."
Qiao Liang's father smiled and said, "You are already an old man, how can you be handsome or not?"
The father and son were joking, but Qiao Liang didn't know that just this morning, some negative public opinion about his drunk driving gradually appeared on the Internet. At this time, Chen Zhenggang, the head of the provincial disciplinary department, was sending deputy secretary Su Huaxin out of the office.
Watching Su Huaxin leave, Chen Zhenggang frowned slightly. Su Huaxin came to him just now because of Qiao Liang's matter. Su Huaxin said that he noticed that there was public opinion on the Internet related to individual leaders of the Jiangzhou City Disciplinary Department in the morning, and even called him. I checked with the cadres of Jiangzhou City and confirmed that the public opinion on the Internet was true, so I came to him specifically to talk about this matter.
Although Su Huaxin didn't say anything directly, the implication behind his words was very obvious. If Qiao Liang's matter was not handled well, it would have a very bad impact on the image of the disciplinary department, and Jiangzhou City's main The leadership's handling of this matter was obviously unfair. What Su Huaxin actually meant was to ask the provincial disciplinary department to come forward and put pressure on Jiangzhou City to impose stricter punishments.
Although Chen Zhenggang understood Su Huaxin's intention, he would not directly follow Su Huaxin's wishes. If he remembered correctly, Zheng Guohong admired Qiao Liang very much. He had heard Zheng Guohong praise Qiao Liang before. Now that Su Huaxin is concerned about Qiao Liang for no reason, Chen Zhenggang will not be stupid enough to act as a weapon for him.
After pondering for a moment, Chen Zhenggang called Zheng Guohong's secretary. After confirming that Zheng Guohong would be in the office, Chen Zhenggang immediately went to Zheng Guohong's office.
Zheng Guohong's office.
When Zheng Guohong saw Chen Zhenggang coming, he stood up with a smile and greeted him, "Comrade Zhenggang, are you looking for me?"
Chen Zhenggang smiled and nodded, "Secretary Zheng, I have a small matter that I think I should tell you."
Zheng Guohong laughed when he heard this, "What kind of trivial matter requires Comrade Zhenggang to make a special trip?"
Chen Zhenggang said, "Secretary Zheng, Secretary Huaxin went to my place just now and talked about Qiao Liang."
Zheng Guohong looked at Chen Zhenggang doubtfully, "Qiao Liang?"
Chen Zhenggang nodded and said, "That's right."
Zheng Guohong wondered, "What else can Comrade Huaxin talk about about Qiao Liang?"
Chen Zhenggang said, "This morning, some negative public opinions appeared on the Internet, which are related to Qiao Liang. Secretary Huaxin came here specifically to talk about this matter."
Zheng Guohong was startled when he heard this, "Really? What kind of negative public opinion is it about?"
Chen Zhenggang said, "It was about Qiao Liang's drunk driving. Jiangzhou City only gave him a warning. No, public opinion on the Internet questioned that this punishment was too light, saying that the leading cadres were protecting each other."
Zheng Guohong frowned, "Qiao Liang drove drunk? Is this true?"
Chen Zhenggang nodded, "This is true. When Secretary Huaxin came to see me, I called Zheng Shidong, the comrade in charge of the Jiangzhou Municipal Disciplinary Department, in front of him and asked about the details. Qiao Liang's drunk driving was indeed a crime. It’s true, but according to Comrade Zheng Shidong, there is another hidden story in this matter, and it’s not just like what’s posted on the Internet.”
Zheng Guohong looked serious, "What's the secret?"
Chen Zhenggang then told Zheng Guohong what he learned from Zheng Shidong. After Zheng Guohong listened, his expression softened, "Since this is the situation, it is excusable."
Chen Zhenggang nodded and said, "Isn't that right? The main leaders of Jiangzhou City also think so. Comrade Zheng Shidong told me that their punishment for Qiao Liang was based on a comprehensive consideration of all aspects before giving a warning. There is nothing wrong with it." Regarding the situation of favoritism, he is still wondering why such public opinion emerged so quickly on the Internet."
Zheng Guohong nodded lightly, then asked, "What did Comrade Huaxin say?"
Chen Zhenggang said, "Comrade Huaxin believes that no matter what the reason for Qiao Liang's drunk driving, his drunk driving violation is an undeniable fact, especially since Qiao Liang is also the main leader of the municipal disciplinary department. Knowing the law and breaking the law, this kind of behavior is even worse and must be Severe punishment."
Zheng Guohong frowned slightly. Su Huaxin said this. It can't be said that what he said was wrong, but Su Huaxin obviously meant it in a targeted way.
Zheng Guohong curled his lips and said, "Comrade Huaxin has a lot to worry about now. He is busy enough with the work in the province, and he can also worry about things in Jiangzhou City."
Chen Zhenggang smiled and said, "Maybe Secretary Huaxin is more concerned about the affairs of Jiangzhou City."
Zheng Guohong curled his lips disapprovingly, "Leave the city's affairs to be handled by the city itself. We, the leaders of the province, may not understand the actual situation. To meddle in the city's affairs casually is to play the piano randomly."
When Zheng Guohong said this, he undoubtedly expressed his attitude. Chen Zhenggang immediately understood and said, "I also agree with Secretary Zheng, so when Secretary Huaxin talked about this matter just now, I finally found an excuse for him to get over it. But if there is no movement at all from my side, Secretary Huaxin will probably come looking for me afterwards."
Zheng Guohong waved his hand, "Don't worry about him. I think Comrade Huaxin is worrying too much. It would be irresponsible for us to meddle in the city's affairs. Besides, from what you just said, Qiao Liang's drunk driving was justified. But it can be forgiven, and it did not cause any accidents or property losses. The circumstances are minor. Giving him a warning is completely in compliance with relevant laws, regulations and organizational disciplines. Is there anything wrong with this?"
Chen Zhenggang nodded and said, "It seems a little strange that the public opinion on the Internet has appeared so quickly. I heard that Comrade Wu Huiwen is now vigorously promoting work style and discipline rectification in Jiangzhou. Qiao Liang is specifically responsible for carrying out this work. I don't know. Is it because I have offended someone for this reason, so someone is doing something secretly?"
Zheng Guohong laughed after hearing this and said, "The situation you mentioned does not rule out the possibility, so the more times like this, the more we must trust the cadres below and not make a fuss out of a trivial matter."
Zheng Guohong changed the subject and said, "Comrade Huaxin, you don't have to worry about him. If he comes to you again, just tell him directly that this is my intention and let him come to me."
Chen Zhenggang nodded slightly. Zheng Guohong's attitude was very clear. Chen Zhenggang naturally knew how to handle this matter. No matter what Su Huaxin's motive was for getting involved in this matter, he could just back him off later.
The two chatted for a while, and Chen Zhenggang stood up to leave. In Chen Zhenggang's opinion, Qiao Liang's matter was not a big deal. If Su Huaxin hadn't intervened, Chen Zhenggang wouldn't have had to come to Zheng Guohong to talk to him.
Zheng Guohong sent Chen Zhenggang to the door and watched Chen Zhenggang leave, frowning. Su Huaxin had really interfered too much in Jiangzhou City's affairs, including Jiangzhou City's personnel. Su Huaxin had been adding sand to Jiangzhou City. Do you really think that Zheng Guohong can't see it?
