Qiao Liang said, "I think it's a bit difficult. From the impression I just got in contact with Zhan Dongjie, I feel that he has already broken the pot."
"Regardless of whether he is a broken person or not, he is still so arrogant after entering our place. This is a blatant provocation and a challenge to our authority." Zheng Shidong snorted lightly, and then changed the subject, "Xiao Qiao, what are you doing to Zhan Dongjie? The investigation needs to be accelerated, but if it is delayed for a long time, it is estimated that the interference and resistance we will face will increase, so we will speed up the investigation as long as we comply with the law and regulations."
Hearing Zheng Shidong's words, Qiao Liang frowned and said, "Secretary Zheng, is someone putting pressure on you?"
Zheng Shidong smiled and said, "Mayor Xu just called me over, and his words hinted that I should deal with Zhan Dongjie's problem leniently."
Qiao Liang's eyes darkened after hearing this. Thinking of the confident attitude of Zhan Dongjie when he just talked to him, he couldn't help but think. Maybe Zhan Dongjie was not confident, but there was another possibility. What promise did someone give Zhan Dongjie?
Qiao Liang was suspicious and said, "Secretary Zheng, why does Mayor Xu want to help Zhan Dongjie get out? Could it be that..."
Zheng Shidong waved his hand to interrupt Qiao Liang, "Xiao Qiao, we don't need to worry about Mayor Xu's motives, and there's no need to guess. Let's just concentrate on our case. Do you understand?"
Qiao Liang looked stern, nodded and said, "Secretary Zheng, I understand."
Qiao Liang understood another meaning of Zheng Shidong. No matter what Xu Honggang's motives were, it was not their turn to question them. They could just do what was within their scope of authority.
Zheng Shidong laughed again, "Xiao Qiao, just handle the case seriously. Don't worry too much about the rest. If the sky falls, there will be a big man to hold it up. If I can't hold up Zhan Dongjie's case, then there will be Secretary Wu. But I think just now Mayor Xu seems to have stopped."
Qiao Liang listened and nodded subconsciously. Since Xu Honggang became the mayor, his ambition for power seems to have greatly expanded. Now that he is interfering in Zhan Dongjie's case, Qiao Liang is not surprised at all, but there are some doubts in his heart. It is really inappropriate to say more in the context of the evidence, and even if there are some clues implicating Xu Honggang, it is not their turn to investigate. They can only hand it over to the relevant departments above according to regulations.
Qiao Liang was thinking about something and was a little distracted for a moment. At this moment, he thought of Ye Xinyi because of Xu Honggang. Ever since he replied to Ye Xinyi's text message on the night of their engagement last month, the two of them have not had any contact yet. Perhaps, they will never be together again. Have we forgotten each other in the world?
Qiao Liang left Zheng Shidong's office with a little melancholy. Suddenly thinking of Ye Xinyi, Qiao Liang felt a little disappointed. However, Qiao Liang did not take the initiative to call Ye Xinyi. He didn't know what to say when he called her. Well, secondly, there is no harm in keeping a proper distance. After all, he and Lu Qian are already engaged.
After returning to his office, Qiao Liang began to be busy again. There were several cases that required him to follow up personally.
Time flew by in the evening. Qiao Liang went to a hotel in the city center after get off work. In the evening, he made an appointment with Shao Bingyu for dinner. It had been almost a month since he and Lu Qian got engaged, and he still hadn't told Shao Bingyu about it.
In the past twenty days, Qiao Liang and Shao Bingyu have made two or three appointments, but their schedules often didn't match up, and it has been postponed until now.
Qiao Liang went to the hotel private room first. After waiting for twenty minutes, Shao Bingyu arrived late.
"Sorry, I'm late. Have you been waiting for a long time?" Shao Bingyu apologized as soon as he came in.
"It's okay, I have nothing to do at night anyway." Qiao Liang smiled and looked up at Shao Bingyu. Qiao Liang was inexplicably sentimental. Did he feel that he and Shao Bingyu were also alienated?
Ever since he saw Shao Bingyu and Song Liang hugging at the door of the apartment complex that night, Qiao Liang felt very complicated. In the past month, he had not been very active in dating Shao Bingyu, otherwise they lived in the same apartment complex.
It would be easy for him to take the initiative to find Shao Bingyu. He could wait for the dead of night and knock on Shao Bingyu's door directly, but Qiao Liang did not do that.
The two of them suddenly fell silent. While Qiao Liang was looking at Shao Bingyu, Shao Bingyu was also looking at Qiao Liang. Shao Bingyu is a very cold and arrogant woman, just like her name, with a cold personality. In recent days, Shao Bingyu doesn't know where to go.
She had a vague intuition that Qiao Liang seemed to be deliberately keeping a distance from her, which made Shao Bingyu completely confused. However, with her arrogant personality, she couldn't save her dignity and took the initiative to ask Qiao Liang, so that the two of them seemed to be a little unfamiliar recently.
.
"you……"
"Bingyu..."
The two of them spoke at the same time and looked at each other. Qiao Liang was the first to say, "You speak first."
Shao Bingyu nodded lightly and looked at Qiao Liang, "It seems that we haven't eaten together for a long time."
Qiao Liang nodded, "It's been a long time."
Shao Bingyu laughed at himself, "Sometimes people don't know what's going on, and they feel like they are getting separated while walking."
Qiao Liang was speechless for a moment when he heard this. He knew that Shao Bingyu was talking about the relationship between the two. After a moment of silence, Qiao Liang asked, "Between you and Minister Song..."
Shao Bingyu blinked, "What happened to me and Minister Song?"
Qiao Liang smacked his lips. He wanted to ask more questions, but suddenly felt that there was no point in asking him now. He and Lu Qian were engaged, why should he care about Shao Bingyu's personal affairs?
Thinking in his mind, Qiao Liang shook his head and said, "It's nothing."
Shao Bingyu glanced at Qiao Liang in confusion. She couldn't tell that Qiao Liang clearly wanted to ask something but didn't ask. Shao Bingyu didn't know that the scene of her and Song Liang's "hug" that night was seen by Qiao Liang, but Shao Bingyu
At that time, it was just because she was drunk that her reaction was slowed down by several beats, and she was hugged by Song Liang for a while. If Qiao Liang asked, she would obviously explain it clearly to Qiao Liang. But Qiao Liang gave up questioning now.
The two of them were silent, and Shao Bingyu took the initiative, "Why did you think of inviting me to dinner tonight?"
Qiao Liang smiled and said, "It's not like I asked you out two or three times before but failed to make an appointment, so I asked you out again today."
Shao Bingyu looked at Qiao Liang, "You just invited me to dinner?"
Qiao Liang hesitated for a moment and said, "The main thing is that I want to tell you something."
Shao Bingyu asked, "What's the matter?"
Qiao Liang said, "Bingyu, Lu Qian and I are engaged."
Shao Bingyu was stunned, looking at Qiao Liang in a daze, his eyes filled with indescribable emotions.
The atmosphere seemed to be frozen. Qiao Liang didn't speak, and Shao Bingyu didn't speak either. The two just looked at each other.
Qiao Liang didn't like this kind of atmosphere. He subconsciously touched the cigarettes in his pocket, took out one and lit it. When the atmosphere was awkward, cigarettes were undoubtedly a good spice.
I don't know how much time passed, but Shao Bingyu asked with a dry throat, "When did it happen?"
Qiao Liang said, "What happened last month? Do you still remember the time I called you last month when you were still in Huangyuan, the provincial capital?"
Shao Bingyu recalled it and immediately remembered that Qiao Liang had called her, but when he heard that she was in Huangyuan on business, Qiao Liang said nothing more.
Qiao Liang continued, "Originally, I wanted to invite you to dinner that day to talk about it in person, but because you were in Huangyuan, I didn't say it. I think it's more appropriate to talk about this kind of thing in person."
Shao Bingyu didn't say anything. At this moment, she felt uncomfortable in her heart, and sentimental emotions filled her heart. Thinking of the recent phone call between her and Ye Xinyi, Ye Xinyi also behaved a little abnormally. Shao Bingyu asked, "Is Xinyi also
Do you know this?"
Qiao Liang nodded and said, "Yeah."
No wonder. Shao Bingyu suddenly understood the reason for Ye Xinyi's recent abnormality. It seemed that she was kept in the dark in the end. Thinking that she had been thinking about how Qiao Liang and Ye Xinyi would be together, how would she deal with herself? No.
Thinking that both of them have become frustrated, Shao Bingyu has no reason to feel that life is too dramatic, but if she thinks about it carefully, this may be the best outcome. At least she will no longer feel embarrassed and uncomfortable when facing Ye Xinyi. Maybe
This is really the will of God.
With so many thoughts in his mind, Shao Bingyu said with a complex expression, "Qiao Liang, I wish you the best. Lu Qian is very beautiful and has a good family background. You and her are really a perfect match."
After all, Shao Bingyu's blessing was a bit against her will, but she couldn't say she resented Qiao Liang. The relationship between the two had never been clear from the beginning to the end, not to mention that the first time they had sex in Liangbei, it was she who took the initiative.
While Qiao Liang and Shao Bingyu were sitting face to face in silence, at this moment, in a luxurious five-star hotel in the city, Xu Honggang stood at the door of the hotel, raising his hand to look at the time from time to time, obviously waiting for the arrival of a certain distinguished guest.
In Jiangzhou City, there is obviously no distinguished guest that Xu Honggang can stand at the door of the hotel to greet him. Even if he is having dinner with Wu Huiwen, Xu Honggang cannot stand at the door of the hotel to greet him. He is unwilling to admit that he is shorter than Wu Huiwen.
One end, but Xu Honggang obviously paid great attention to tonight's guests and came to the door early to wait.
Who is Xu Honggang waiting for at this time?
The answer was soon revealed. The car of Song Liang, the Municipal Propaganda Minister, appeared at the door of the hotel.
As soon as Xu Honggang saw Song Liang's car coming into view, he immediately stepped forward. When the car stopped, Xu Honggang skillfully helped Song Liang open the door.
In the car, Song Liang was shocked when he saw Xu Honggang's behavior. Damn, he was not qualified to ask Xu Honggang to open the car door for him. Although he knew that Xu Honggang had always wanted to win over him, even if Xu Honggang wanted to show favor to him, this move was really serious.
He was also flattered, and Song Liang hurriedly got out of the car.
"Mayor Xu, aren't you trying to kill me?" Song Liangpu said quickly as soon as he got out of the car.
"Old Song, what you said is that we are all colleagues working together, so why are we going out to see each other?" Xu Honggang said with a smile, and the title of Song Liang has become 'Old Song'.
The corners of Song Liang's mouth twitched, and he thought to himself that this was not a damn thing, but that he couldn't bear it. Xu Honggang, a dignified second-in-command in the city, opened the door for him.
