Seeing Qiao Liang's arrival, Zheng Guohong stood up and said with a smile, "Xiao Qiao, you came here deliberately because you missed the meal time. Do you want me to treat you to lunch?"
Qiao Liang quickly explained, "Secretary Zheng, I just left the city, and it took me a while to turn back."
Zheng Guohong smiled. Zhang Shangwen had already reported it to him. What he just said was a joke to Qiao Liang. Zheng Guohong walked to Qiao Liang and smiled, "Let's go. Since it's dinner time, I won't treat you." Even if I don’t have a big meal, I can still afford it.”
Qiao Liang said hurriedly, "Secretary Zheng, how can I have the nerve to ask you to spend money?"
Zheng Guohong smiled lightly and said, "It's just one meal, why are you so polite to me? You don't have to worry about starving me."
When Qiao Liang heard what Zheng Guohong said, he couldn't refuse anymore. He didn't know that Zheng Guohong invited him to have this lunch with deep meaning.
After coming down from the office building, Zheng Guohong took Qiao Liang to the agency cafeteria in the compound. During the short walk, including entering the cafeteria, Zheng Guohong walked not fast, chatting and laughing with Qiao Liang, and This scene naturally caught the eyes of many people. As the leader of the province, every move Zheng Guohong made would attract attention. Everyone saw him walking side by side with a young man in the courtyard and talking cordially. There is also a smile on his face, and you can't help but look at it more.
Qiao Liang attracted the attention of many people. Soon someone recognized Qiao Liang with expressions full of surprise, especially those who knew that Qiao Liang was under investigation by the provincial disciplinary department. This would be even more shocking. Qiao Liang suddenly Is everything okay? The key is that Qiao Liang is okay. Zheng Guohong even personally invited Qiao Liang to the courtyard cafeteria for dinner, showing such an intimate gesture. This was obviously to send some kind of signal!
Zheng Guohong had a special small box in the canteen. It was not until he entered the box that Qiao Liang realized with some hindsight that Zheng Guohong invited him to come to the canteen for lunch. Eating was the second priority. The main point was actually to express his attitude. .
After understanding the deep meaning of Zheng Guohong's actions, Qiao Liang felt a little moved. Although he knew that Zheng Guohong did this largely for Liao Gufeng's sake, Qiao Liang was still extremely touched that Zheng Guohong had this intention.
After the box door closed, Zheng Guohong asked Qiao Liang, "Xiao Qiao, you rushed back to Jiangzhou as soon as you left the disciplinary department today. Do you have any resentment in your heart?"
"No, I was thinking that there was still a lot of work to do in Venezuela, so I was anxious to go back." Qiao Liang said.
"Really? Xiao Qiao, you have a strong sense of responsibility. You have been under investigation for nearly a week and you are thinking about work. Don't you worry about yourself?" Zheng Guohong said with a smile.
"I'm not afraid of slanted shadows when I'm upright. I know there's nothing wrong with me, so I'm not afraid of checking." Qiao Liang said seriously.
"So, someone really framed you?" Zheng Guohong smiled and said meaningfully, "It seems that your situation in Jiangzhou is a bit complicated."
"Jiangzhou City has experienced serious disciplinary violations by major leaders such as Jing Haoran, Tang Shusen, and Luo Fei. It can be said that it has damaged the entire institutional atmosphere of Jiangzhou City, and has also led to very complicated problems in Jiangzhou City. As the old saying goes "Three feet of ice did not freeze in a day. It can be said that the accumulated abuses and maladies existing in the current Jiangzhou City system are left over over time. If strong medicine is not used, I am afraid it will be difficult to solve. In the end, it will only lead to the irreversible abuses." Qiao Liang said seriously.
"Listen to what you say, the situation is very serious." Zheng Guohong frowned slightly, "As far as I know, Comrade Huiwen is vigorously promoting the rectification of discipline and style. Do you think it is effective?"
"Secretary Zheng, it must be effective. If not, Secretary Zheng, do you think I will suffer this crime this time?" Qiao Liang replied.
Zheng Guohong was amused by Qiao Liang's words and gave Qiao Liang a funny look, "Xiao Qiao, it seems that you still have resentment in your heart. Do you feel that you have been greatly wronged this time and I failed to clear your name in time?"
"Secretary Zheng, I absolutely did not mean that." Qiao Liang stood up hurriedly.
"Okay, there are no outsiders here, sit down." Zheng Guohong waved his hand.
After Zheng Guohong finished speaking, he couldn't help but think deeply. The situation in Jiangzhou was very complicated. Can Wu Huiwen really control the situation in the end? Zheng Guohong couldn't help but feel a little worried for Wu Huiwen. The reason why he transferred Wu Huiwen to Jiangzhou before was because he was worried about Wu Huiwen. In addition to the recognition and appreciation of Jiangzhou City, another important reason is that Wu Huiwen served as the mayor of Jiangzhou City. Zheng Guohong believes that transferring a cadre who is familiar with the situation in Jiangzhou City to serve as the top leader can better solve the problems in Jiangzhou City. However, at present, Judging from the situation, he still estimated the situation in Jiangzhou City too optimistically.
The figure of Su Huaxin flashed in his mind, and Zheng Guohong looked gloomy. Su Huaxin had been interfering in the personnel and work of Jiangzhou City. Zheng Guohong knew this very well, but for some reason, Zheng Guohong did not directly hit Su Huaxin. Or, he always believed that Wu Huiwen could control the situation, but now it seems that the situation is not optimistic.
Qiao Liang and Zheng Guohong returned to Jiangzhou directly after lunch. Zheng Guohong made a special trip to find him. It was obviously with good intentions. It seemed that he was treating him to a casual meal, but in fact, he was conveying his attitude to the outside world. For Qiao Liang, an ordinary division-level officer, For cadres, Zheng Guohong, a dignified leader of Jiangdong Province, did this, which undoubtedly showed his great love for him. From the conversation between Zheng Guohong and him, Qiao Liang could also feel that Zheng Guohong's care for him was not entirely because of Liao Gufeng. This made Qiao Liang Liang was greatly inspired.
On his way back to Jiangzhou, Qiao Liang found himself in the office of Chen Zhenggang, the provincial disciplinary department. Chen Zhenggang was currently answering a call from Yang Xuezheng.
Yang Xuezheng's call to Chen Zhenggang was undoubtedly about Qiao Liang. Yang Xuezheng did not expect that Qiao Liang would be released just after he was transferred to Jiangzhou. On the phone, Yang Xuezheng expressed his protest tactfully, "Secretary Chen, I think Qiao Liang Liang should not have been let go like this, his problem has not been investigated clearly."
"Xue Zheng, there is insufficient evidence in Qiao Liang's case. If we don't let him go, will we have to keep him in custody?" Chen Zhenggang said calmly.
"Secretary Chen and Wang Xiaocai, Qiao Liang's personal staff, reported them with their real names. How can we say there is insufficient evidence?" Yang Xuezheng said.
"Xue Zheng, do you think we can conclude that Qiao Liang violated discipline based on what Wang Xiaocai told us?" Chen Zhenggang asked.
Hearing what Chen Zhenggang said, Yang Xuezheng was speechless for a moment. He knew that Chen Zhenggang's words made sense.
Then Chen Zhenggang added, "I did not interfere in the specific investigation of the case. Comrade Hong Yuan believes that the current investigation evidence against Qiao Liang is insufficient and it is inappropriate to take detention measures against Qiao Liang. I respect his decision."
After hearing what Chen Zhenggang said, the corner of Yang Xuezheng's mouth twitched. The Hong Yuan mentioned by Chen Zhenggang was the person in charge of his replacement in investigating Qiao Liang's case. The other person was the director of one of the offices of the provincial disciplinary department. As far as Yang Xuezheng knew, this Hong Yuan was Chen Zhenggang's. A capable man, who knows if the other party did this under the secret instruction of Chen Zhenggang? Damn, Chen Zhenggang is now blaming Hong Yuan, clearly trying to block his mouth.
"Secretary Chen, is Director Hong's decision too hasty and irresponsible? He didn't even talk to Wang Xiaocai to understand the situation, so why did he decide that Qiao Liang was fine?" Yang Xuezheng said again.
"Xue Zheng, I have to correct your question. First of all, Comrade Hong Yuan did not think that Qiao Liang has no problem. He just said that the evidence is insufficient. The current evidence is not enough to support the investigation of Qiao Liang, and it is not suitable to investigate Qiao Liang. He took retention measures; secondly, Comrade Hong Yuan did not talk to Wang Xiaocai because he thought it was unnecessary. Didn't you talk to Wang Xiaocai before? Comrade Hong Yuan has read the record of your conversation in detail. It is impossible for you to Is there something wrong with the conversation record? Or is it that Wang Xiaocai didn't tell the truth?"
"..." Chen Zhenggang didn't know what to say for a moment. Chen Zhenggang's words made him speechless. Fortunately, as soon as he arrived in Jiangzhou, he went to Wang Xiaocai first, implying that the other party wanted to insist that there was something wrong with Qiao Liang. He didn't expect that it was all in vain. After a while, Hong Yuan never thought of asking Wang Xiaocai to find out more about the situation. He thought that Hong Yuan would definitely ask Wang Xiaocai.
"Xue Zheng, you also know that the main leaders of the province are very concerned about Qiao Liang's case. In the absence of insufficient evidence, it is inappropriate for us to continue to take detention measures against Qiao Liang. As the old saying goes, it is better to fix the problem before it is too late. It's too late, let's release Qiao Liang in time to avoid bigger problems later." Chen Zhenggang said pointedly.
Chen Zhenggang's words obviously had some meaning. Yang Xuezheng's face turned gloomy. What does it mean that it is not too late to make amends? Chen Zhenggang's words clearly meant that he was implying that he had made mistakes in bringing Qiao Liang back to Huangyuan for investigation. This made Yang Xuezheng I feel a little annoyed for no reason, but after all, the other party is the top leader of the provincial disciplinary department. Although Yang Xuezheng is unhappy, it is not easy to confront Chen Zhenggang directly. The most important thing is about Qiao Liang. Yang Xuezheng does not have the confidence.
"Xue Zheng, this is the case with Qiao Liang. If you insist that there is something wrong with Qiao Liang, then you can investigate it yourself internally. You are now the head of the disciplinary department of Jiangzhou City. You can make flexible arrangements on your own. ." Chen Zhenggang said.
"Okay, I understand." Yang Xuezheng nodded indifferently. He now understood a little bit why Chen Zhenggang wanted to transfer him to Jiangzhou. The other party was very cunning in doing so. In terms of morality and practice, he was really inferior to Chen Zhenggang by a few blocks. Yang Xuezheng was very It is clear that it is not that easy to investigate Qiao Liang within the city's disciplinary department. Firstly, he will encounter resistance from Wu Huiwen above. Secondly, within the city's disciplinary department, it is still mainly Zheng Shidong's team. He, who has just arrived, has to deal with it. Facilitating internal relations and purging Zheng Shidong's people cannot be accomplished overnight. This delay means that it will be difficult for him to conduct an internal investigation of Qiao Liang in the short term.
