Hearing this, Qiao Liang smiled and said, "I went to have dinner with you. Thanks to the leader, he thought highly of him and invited me to come with him."
Qiao Liang did not tell the truth at this time. Firstly, he did not want everyone to know that he and Lu Qian were about to get engaged. Secondly, he also deliberately made things mysterious, which would make Wang Yaohua unclear about the truth.
Seeing that Qiao Liang didn't tell the truth, Wang Yaohua glanced at Qiao Liang. It was difficult for him to ask questions in this situation, so he could only say, "Xiao Qiao, if you can be appreciated by Leader Liao and Secretary Zheng, your future prospects will be limitless."
Qiao Liang said quickly, "Secretary Wang, you have promoted me. I just need to be down-to-earth and do my job conscientiously. I don't dare to think about anything else."
Wang Yaohua glanced at Qiao Liang with a half-smile, "Xiao Qiao, you are so humble."
Qiao Liang said seriously, "Secretary Wang, I am telling the truth."
Wang Yaohua gave Qiao Liang a meaningful look. He had not had much contact with Qiao Liang before. After all, he had only been transferred to Jiangzhou for a short time, and his previous impression of Qiao Liang mainly came from Xu Honggang's evaluation of Qiao Liang. When eating with Xu Honggang, Wang Yaohua often heard Xu Honggang scolding her, many of which were directed at Qiao Liang. Therefore, Wang Yaohua was very aware of Xu Honggang's attitude towards Qiao Liang, but he obviously had no subjective hostility towards Qiao Liang personally. If it hadn't happened tonight, Wang Yaohua wouldn't have minded being consistent with Xu Honggang in his attitude toward Qiao Liang, but seeing Qiao Liang, Liao Gufeng, and Zheng Guohong together tonight, Qiao Liang's weight in Wang Yaohua's heart skyrocketed.
Wang Yaohua knew very well that both Liao Gufeng and Zheng Guohong came to Jiangzhou, but the city did not receive any notification. This meant that the two came to Jiangzhou for private matters, so they did not notify the city. The private matters of the two big leaders could still make Qiao Qiao Liang was accompanying him, which meant that Qiao Liang's relationship with Liao Gufeng and Zheng Guohong was extraordinary. For this reason, Wang Yaohua did not dare to treat Qiao Liang in any slightest way.
Since Wang Yaohua returned to the provincial capital Huangyuan during the Chinese New Year, and he had just been transferred to Jiangzhou, he was still in the process of becoming familiar with the relevant people and things. Wang Yaohua did not know about the relationship between Qiao Liang and Lu Qian. It was too detailed, not to mention that he couldn't pay too much attention to the love between children among cadres, so Wang Yaohua was still in the dark about some things. What's more, even if he knew that Qiao Liang and Lu Qian were close, he would never have thought that the two had already When it came to talking about marriage, he would never have thought that Liao Gufeng's trip to Jiangzhou was specifically for the engagement of two young people.
What Wang Yaohua has to weigh now is that he cannot be consistent with Xu Honggang in terms of his stance towards Qiao Liang, and he must clearly convey this to Qiao Liang, because everyone knows that both he and Xu Honggang are from Jiangdong Normal University, and there are people behind them. Su Huaxin stands, so when he is transferred to Jiangzhou this time, others will naturally put him and Xu Honggang in the same camp, and this is also the case. When he comes to Jiangzhou, he must cooperate with Xu Honggang, at least in the general direction. Su Huaxin had a special conversation with Xu Honggang before he came to Jiangzhou.
Therefore, Wang Yaohua specially invited Qiao Liang out just to let Qiao Liang know his attitude.
While his mind was spinning, Wang Yaohua quickly said, "Xiao Qiao, no matter what, I owe you a huge favor. If you need my help in the future, just ask."
Qiao Liang smiled and said, "Secretary Wang, you are too unreasonable. I can't help you much. I just said a few fair words."
"No, no, you dare to help speak in front of Secretary Zheng, this is a big help." Wang Yaohua said with a smile.
After a pause, Wang Yaohua asked worriedly, "Xiao Qiao, Secretary Zheng is not angry about what happened tonight, right?"
"Secretary Wang, don't worry. Secretary Zheng won't take such a trivial matter to heart. Besides, Mr. Ling is still a student. How can Secretary Zheng care about a child? And he also apologized." Qiao Liang said with a smile.
"That's good." Wang Yaohua nodded subconsciously. He was truly relieved. At the same time, he did not forget to thank Qiao Liang again, "Xiao Qiao, I won't say anything more. In short, I owe you a favor. .”
Wang Yaohua put on a gesture of gratitude. Although it was a bit artificial, he did it deliberately because he wanted to be on good terms with Qiao Liang. At least in his attitude towards Qiao Liang, he had to distinguish himself from Xu Honggang. open.
Seeing Wang Yaohua's appearance, the smile on Qiao Liang's face became a little brighter. His goal was achieved tonight. He made a good deal with Wang Yaohua without any effort. Maybe it will come in handy in the future.
Qiao Liang and Wang Yaohua chatted for more than half an hour. Because it was already very late, the two of them didn't sit down for too long. They made an appointment to have dinner together next time, and then they went back separately.
Tonight was undoubtedly a great harvest for Qiao Liang. He was flattered by Zheng Guohong's care and support. But after calming down, Qiao Liang also knew that the reason why Zheng Guohong was treating him specially now was entirely because of Liao Gufeng. To be more precise, , because he was about to become Liao Gufeng's son-in-law. Otherwise, although Zheng Guohong had shown great appreciation for him before, he would not have treated him so specially.
This is the first time that Qiao Liang feels the benefits that his status as 'Liao Gufeng's son-in-law' has brought to him, and this is just the beginning. As time goes by, Qiao Liang can fully imagine Liao Gufeng's status and the power behind him. How great benefits the network resources will bring to him. As An Zhe said, becoming Liao Gufeng's son-in-law will at least save him ten or eight years of struggle. The most important thing is that it is the fastest way for him to cross the circle.
After meeting Wang Yaohua, Qiao Liang went to the hotel where his parents lived to check it out, and then returned to the rented apartment.
The next day, Qiao Liang, her parents and Lu Qian drove Liao Gufeng and Lu Qian's mother to the airport.
Liao Gufeng's trip to Jiangzhou came and went in a hurry. Qiao Liang was particularly moved when he saw it. He knew very well that Liao Gufeng did this out of respect for his parents.
As for some details of the engagement, neither party is a fussy person and there is basically no disagreement. The most important thing about this meeting is to determine the date for the wedding banquet, which will be held in the capital in a week. Therefore, Qiao Liang I have to go to Beijing with my parents in a few days.
The schedule was a bit rushed, but this was Liao Gufeng's intention, because Liao Gufeng hoped to hold it as soon as possible, and Qiao Liang had no objection to this. Since he had decided to get engaged to Lu Qian, there was no need to find any excuses to shirk it. Qiao Liang no longer escapes from the choice.
In the airport lobby, Qiao Liang's family briefly exchanged greetings with Liao Gufeng and Lu Qian's mother, and then waited aside, giving time to Lu Qian to say goodbye to her parents.
The smile on Lu Qian's face has not disappeared from yesterday to now. When she said goodbye to her parents, Lu Qian also smiled happily and said, "Mom, dad, we'll see you in a few days."
"My parents are leaving, and I don't see any reluctance on your part. I think this girl like you was really wasted." Lu Qian's mother rolled her eyes at her daughter.
Lu Qian smiled and said, "We are going to meet again in a few days, what is there to be reluctant to part with?"
Lu Qian's mother was so angry that she said, "You are still pretending."
Lu Qian smiled and said, "Mom, we mother and daughter still don't need to be like that."
Lu Qian's mother shook her head helplessly. This precious girl has been very independent since she was a child. She doesn't look like a girl at all. It was only after meeting Qiao Liang that she showed more and more of her little girl side, but it seemed that she was only
She only behaves like that in front of Qiao Liang. Sometimes Lu Qian's mother is a little jealous of Qiao Liang. She feels that her daughter has been abducted by Qiao Liang after raising such a child, but she can't help her daughter liking Qiao Liang so much. Lu Qian's mother also treats Qiao Liang.
From never accepting to being satisfied, it is in line with the old saying, the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more she looks at him, the more she likes him.
Looking at her daughter's happy face, Lu Qian's mother's face is full of doting eyes. For parents, as long as their daughter is happy, that is the most important thing.
Because she had to go through security soon, Lu Qian didn't say much to her parents. After watching her parents leave, Lu Qian turned to Qiao Liang and said, "Let's go, let's go back too."
After Lu Qian finished speaking, she looked at Qiao Liang's parents and said, "Uncle and aunt, I will drive you back to Qiaojiayu later."
Qiao Liang's mother said quickly, "No, no, no, Xiaoqian, just go about your work and don't worry about us."
Qiao Liang's mother called her "Xiao Qian" so naturally that she loved Lu Qian, her daughter-in-law-to-be, from the bottom of her heart.
"Auntie, it's okay. I've already asked for leave today and don't have to go to work." Lu Qian said with a smile.
Qiao Liang's mother was about to say something, but Qiao Liang waved her hand and interrupted, "Mom, just let Lu Qian take you back. It's okay."
Qiao Liang can't drive for the time being because of a drunk driving incident. Otherwise, he would have driven his parents back by himself. He had already troubled the third child yesterday, and it was hard to trouble him again today.
Several people left from the airport. Lu Qian first took Qiao Liang back to the city compound, and then drove Qiao Liang's parents back to Qiaojiayu.
Back in the office, Qiao Liang was busy for a while. Near noon, Qiao Liang received a call from her third child.
"Lao Wu, have you sent away your future father-in-law and mother-in-law?" Lao San joked on the other end of the phone.
"We just sent him off this morning. Lu Qian's father is a very busy man and he doesn't have time to stay in Jiangzhou." Qiao Liang laughed.
"Isn't that nonsense? Lu Qian's father is in great trouble now. When I drove the car yesterday, I didn't even dare to breathe." The third child said with a smile.
Qiao Liang smiled when he heard this. The third child was indeed honest when driving yesterday. He rarely saw the third child behave so well. This shows how unattainable Liao Gufeng's current status is for ordinary people.
"Third brother, are you going to have trouble with me now?" Qiao Liang asked.
"Lao Wu, I have secretly installed surveillance cameras in the hotel room where that bastard Zhang Tianfu lives. Damn it, waiting for me to come back and deal with him." Lao San said viciously.
