After a while, Qiao Liang asked casually again: "What are you busy with in the office this afternoon?"
Ye Xinyi said as she walked: "An Zhe, director of the Provincial Press and Publication Bureau, will come to the ministry for inspection tomorrow, and I have arranged the reception."
Qiao Liang was completely unfamiliar with An Zhe. Not to mention that he had never met him or even heard of him. When Li Youwei was the secretary of the party committee of the newspaper, he followed Li Youwei to the Provincial Publishing Bureau to run the evening newspaper issue.
Xu Honggang, who was the deputy director of the Press and Publication Bureau at that time, had interacted with him.
"Has Director An been in the Press and Publication Bureau for many years?" Qiao Liang asked again casually.
Ye Xinyi nodded: "He should be an old man from the Publishing Bureau. When Minister Xu was the deputy director of the Publishing Bureau, he was the deputy director. Later, he was transferred to a lower prefecture-level city as the mayor. He worked for several years.
He was transferred back to the bureau as the top leader."
Qiao Liang nodded. He didn't expect that Director An had the experience of serving as a top government official in a prefecture-level city. From this look, he should be Xu Honggang's old boss. It's just that when he came to Jiangzhou this time, Xu Honggang was not here, so he couldn't receive him.
I think Xu Honggang would feel very sorry if he knew about it.
He also felt that he was worrying too much. He had already left the officialdom, so why did he still think about this? An Zhe came to the ministry to care about his own nonsense?
At this time, Qiao Liang felt that An Zhe had nothing to do with him. He never dreamed that his destiny would be closely related to An Zhe in the future, and that he would have an extremely close relationship with An Zhe.
This is something for later.
After the two landed, Ye Xinyi took a taxi and went straight to the city with Qiao Liang, stopping in front of a star hotel.
"Follow me." Ye Xinyi got out of the driveway.
Qiao Liang didn't want to think too much at this time, and followed Ye Xinyi to the restaurant and entered a single room.
Opening the door, Qiao Liang was stunned. The room was filled with beauties: Zhang Lin, Jiang Xiuxiu, Lu Qian, and Fang Xiaoya.
Plus Ye Xinyi and five golden flowers.
At this time, the expressions on everyone's faces were solemn and heavy. Obviously, they all knew about Qiao Liang.
Seeing Qiao Liang appear, Fang Xiaoya came over, pulled Qiao Liang to sit down, and then ordered the waiter to serve the food.
Qiao Liang looked at everyone and sighed softly: "What are you doing together?"
Lu Qian said: "What else can I do? Because of you, everyone heard about you and became very concerned about it, so they came here together and asked Xinyi to find you."
Qiao Liang smiled miserably: "Why are you looking for me? Are you here to see my joke?"
"Qiao Liang -" Zhang Lin looked at Qiao Liang with reproachful eyes, "How can you say that? Everyone cares about you."
Qiao Liang also felt that what he said was very impolite, and nodded: "Sorry, I can't speak, don't take it off."
At this time, everyone understands Qiao Liang's mood, and no one really minds.
After the dishes were served, Fang Xiaoya ordered two bottles of red wine. Everyone was in a bad mood today, so they decided not to drink white wine.
After pouring the wine, Qiao Liang raised his glass and looked at everyone with a sad smile: "Come on, let's all have a drink for my embarrassing departure from officialdom."
No one raised the glass, so Qiao Liang drank it all alone, put down the glass, sighed heavily, and took out a cigarette. Jiang Xiuxiu hurriedly picked up a lighter and lit it for him.
Qiao Liang took two long puffs of cigarette and looked up at the ceiling blankly.
Everyone looked at each other, and then Zhang Lin said: "Qiao Liang, everyone is surprised and sad that this happened to you."
Qiao Liang remained silent and continued to look at the ceiling.
"We all know that this matter has dealt a heavy blow to you, and we are all worried about you, fearing that you will not be able to bear the blow." Zhang Lin continued.
"Thank you for your comfort and concern. Don't worry, I will be fine." Qiao Liang looked at the five golden flowers in front of her, feeling moved and knowing that their concern for her was sincere.
"We called you here today not just to comfort you," Zhang Lin said.
"What else?" Qiao Liang looked at Zhang Lin blankly.
"We want to know the whole truth of the matter." After Zhang Lin said this, she looked at everyone, and everyone nodded.
"The truth?" Qiao Liang smiled sadly, "The results of the treatment have come out, and I have already left the officialdom. What is the truth? Is it still necessary?"
"It's necessary." Zhang Lin's tone was serious, and everyone nodded again.
Qiao Liang sighed, feeling that they were too curious, and looked at Jiang Xiuxiu: "You should know the truth, please tell everyone."
Just as Jiang Xiuxiu was about to speak, Zhang Lin waved her hand to stop her and looked at Qiao Liang: "Qiao Liang, we want to hear what you say now, and hear the whole process from your own mouth."
"What? Do you think I didn't tell the truth to the Discipline Inspection Commission investigators this morning?" Qiao Liang was a little unhappy.
"You misunderstood." Zhang Lin shook her head and said calmly, "Xiuxiu is a case handler. She cannot tell the facts of the case casually. Moreover, words spoken by the person involved are more true and reliable."
Lu Qian took over: "Yes, Sister Lin's words make sense. Master Qiao, tell me. I really want to understand the whole process."
Qiao Liang frowned: "Why are you so curious?"
"Perhaps, it's not just curiosity." Zhang Lin said.
"What else?" Qiao Liang was curious.
Zhang Lin was silent for a while.
Lu Qian couldn't bear her temper and interrupted again: "Mr. Qiao, don't ask so many questions. Just tell me. It won't do you any harm anyway."
Fang Xiaoya looked at Qiao Liang: "Qiao Liang, tell me."
Qiao Liang looked at Ye Xinyi, and she nodded.
Seeing that they all wanted to say it themselves, Qiao Liang decided to satisfy their curiosity and exhaled heavily: "Okay, I'll tell you..."
Then, Qiao Liang started talking about it from the time he and Lu Qian finished grilled fish at noon that day, met Zhang Lin, Ye Xinyi and Jiang Xiuxiu in the pedestrian street, and then received a call from Si Shengjie inviting him to dinner, until he left the bar in the evening.
After listening to it once, everyone listened very attentively.
After listening to Qiao Liang's words, everyone was silent. Zhang Lin lowered her head and frowned slightly, Lu Qian's eyes kept wandering, Ye Xinyi had a pensive expression, Fang Xiaoya and Jiang Xiuxiu looked at Qiao Liang blankly, not knowing what everyone was thinking.
What are you thinking about.
"That's it. Are you all satisfied now?" Qiao Liang picked up the wine glass and drank another glass.
After a while, Zhang Lin raised her head and looked at Qiao Liang: "Stop drinking, you eat first."
Qiao Liang was stunned: "I'm eating, what about you?"
"Let's eat slowly and chat for a while." After Zhang Lin finished speaking, she winked at Fang Xiaoya.
Fang Xiaoya understood and said: "Qiao Liang, don't go home tonight. I have a room upstairs. You can go to the room to rest for a while after eating."
Qiao Liang felt hot in her heart. Fang Xiaoya was so considerate and attentive and didn't want to go home in this state to face Zhang Mei's ridicule and ridicule.
Qiao Liang finished the meal in three mouthfuls, took the room card given to him by Fang Xiaoya and went upstairs. When he opened the door, he found a luxurious single room.
Qiao Liang walked to the window, opened the thick curtains, looked at the night outside the window, lit a cigarette, and smoked silently, thinking about this sudden disaster and his future path...
At this time, in the dining room, Zhang Lin looked at everyone, took a deep breath, and said softly: "According to what Qiao Liang just said, let's analyze it together. Before analyzing, I will tell everyone what I learned from the unit.
Some situations..."
Then, Zhang Lin told everyone that Zhao Xiaolan sent two groups of people to find He Bi, Si Shengjie, and Ding Lei to go to the bar to verify and investigate.
