Qiao Liang blinked, then raised his glass: "Okay, Secretary An, I respect you."
Miao Peilong immediately realized something, then raised his glass and looked at Yao Jian and Kong Jie: "Let's toast the old secretary a glass of wine together, welcome the old secretary back to Songbei, and welcome the old secretary to come to Songbei more often."
Yao Jian and Kong Jie then realized what An Zhe meant, and they couldn't help but secretly admire Miao Peilong's quick reaction.
At this time, everyone felt Anzhe's care for Ren Quan, and this care seemed to contain some appreciation and comfort.
Miao Peilong, Yao Jian and Kong Jie were all a little envious and confused. They didn't know how Ren Quan gained An Zhe's favor so quickly.
Qiao Liang knew it, but he would not say it at this time.
After having had enough wine and food, everyone left the restaurant. Miao Peilong asked tentatively: "Secretary An, what are the arrangements for the evening?"
An Zhe rolled his eyelids: "Xiao Qiao knows how to tell you not to go to the border to greet you, and knows how to tell you to serve local specialties. Didn't he tell you what I am doing at night?"
Miao Peilong laughed. Of course he knew that An Zhe liked to level up at night. He just thought that An Zhe was running around all day and was worried that he would be sleepy, so he asked this deliberately.
Qiao Liang also laughed. Although Anzhe seemed careless on the surface, he was actually very careful on the inside, but he just didn't say it out loud.
"Okay, Secretary An, let's upgrade and relax for a while," Miao Peilong said.
An Zhe nodded: "Director Ren and I will team up to beat you two county magistrates."
Upon hearing what An Zhe said, Kong Jie went to the service desk to get the poker.
When they arrived at Anzhe's room, Qiao Liang set up the table, Kong Jie came in with poker cards, and everyone started playing poker.
Qiao Liang poured tea for everyone and placed a box of Songshan cigarettes in front of Anzhe. Anzhe said: "Secretary Kong, Xiao Qiao, you go ahead."
Qiao Liang and Kong Jie left An Zhe's room. Kong Jie left first and Qiao Liang went to his room.
After not smoking for a day, Qiao Liang was exhausted and took out a box of Songshan brand cigarettes from his pocket. Xiao Tao put one in the suitcase. Qiao Liang took a box in private to taste what it tasted like.
Qiao Liang lit it and took two deep puffs. Damn, this smoke is so strong.
Qiao Liang opened his laptop while sucking, opened the document, and began to sort out the key points of Anzhe's talk today.
After sorting it out, Qiao Liang thought about Miao Peilong who was playing poker with An Zhe next door, so he took out his cell phone and sent him a text message: "You can only lose, not win."
After a while, Miao Peilong replied: "OK."
Then Qiao Liang took a shower, opened the door, and sat on the sofa watching TV while listening to what was going on next door.
There was faint chatter and laughter coming from the next door. It seemed that the atmosphere in the card game was very harmonious.
At this time, the door was knocked twice. Qiao Liang looked at the door and saw Wen Yuan standing at the door with a smile.
Seeing Wen Yuan and Qiao Liang made her feel sick, but she still stood up and greeted politely: "Director Wen, please come in——"
Wen Yuan came in and sat down. Just as Qiao Liang was about to pour him some water, Wen Yuan took out a box of tea and said, "Chief Qiao, I brought a good oolong. Try this."
Wen Yuan wanted to treat himself to a cup of tea last night, but he finally brought it tonight.
"Hey, I'm so sorry." Qiao Liang said politely.
"You're welcome, Section Chief Qiao, we are old acquaintances." Wen Yuan said warmly, while making tea himself.
After making tea, Wen Yuan looked at Qiao Liang: "How does it taste?"
Qiao Liang took a sip from the cup and nodded: "Well, it tastes good. After all, Director Wen is a connoisseur of tea and has great taste."
"Haha, give it a thumbs up, as long as Section Chief Qiao likes it, that's fine. I'm giving you this box of tea. You can drink it slowly later."
"Director Wen is so kind, I really don't dare to accept it," Qiao Liang said.
"Hey, Section Chief Qiao, there is really no need for politeness between you and me."
"No need to be polite, what do you need?" Qiao Liang blinked.
"This..." Wen Yuan couldn't find the right words for a moment, and thought to himself, Damn, I'm just being polite to you, why are you so serious?
Qiao Liang chuckled: "Director Wen, you didn't come to me specifically for tea tonight, did you?"
"Director Wen, you talk about Section Chief Qiao, which makes me feel uncomfortable." Qiao Liang interrupted Wen Yuan.
"Then what should I call you?" Wen Yuan was stunned. Damn, you are a section-level cadre. If I don't call you Section Chief Qiao, why should I call you County Chief Qiao?
"Director Wen is my old boss. I still feel comfortable calling me Xiao Qiao." Qiao Liang said simply.
Wen Yuan laughed a few times. With the change of Qiao Liang's position, he now felt that calling him Section Chief Qiao could show respect. Although calling him Xiao Qiao was kind, it seemed a bit condescending.
"Well, well, Chief Qiao..." Although Qiao Liang said so, Wen Yuan still didn't want to change his mind and thought carefully, "I'm looking for you tonight. In addition to inviting you to tea, in fact, I also want to talk to you.
…”
"What does Director Wen want to talk to me about?" Qiao Liang interrupted Wen Yuan again, with a smile on his lips.
"Talk... talk about our past." Wen Yuan simply let go, "There were some misunderstandings between us before, and I did something wrong. I would like to take this opportunity to apologize to you. I hope you can understand and tolerate me.
"
"Ah -" Qiao Liang's mouth was half-opened, making a sign of surprise, "Director Wen, don't say that. I have never felt that you were not good to me or did anything to make me sorry. It seems that you must have wanted to
Much more. In my eyes, you have always been an old leader I respect. Director Wen, please don’t think too much about it."
"This, this..." Wen Yuan was a little embarrassed. Damn it, he had obviously done something sorry for him, why did he say this?
"Chief Qiao, I have really done something wrong to you."
"Oh, why didn't I know?" Qiao Liang pretended to be confused.
"You should know, of course you do."
Qiao Liang suddenly realized: "Could Director Wen be talking about the time I went to the living base?"
"Yes, yes." Wen Yuan took the lead.
"Oh, that matter is old history. I forgot about it a long time ago. I thought you were messing with me recently." Qiao Liang smiled half-heartedly.
"No, no, no, only that incident, nothing else." Wen Yuan said hurriedly, feeling a little nervous. Damn, I can't talk about the recent incident even to death, and I can't admit it. If Qiao Liang knew that he was involved in it,
, then you will regret yourself for the rest of your life.
"Really not?" Qiao Liang looked at Wen Yuan sharply.
"Really not." Wen Yuan vowed and patted his chest.
Qiao Liang nodded and laughed: "Since Director Wen said so, I'm relieved."
"What are you worried about?" Wen Yuan asked casually.
"I always thought that Director Wen was involved in the plot against me in the bar. Now that Director Wen said this, I have completely given up my suspicion." Qiao Liang said with a smile.
Wen Yuan couldn't help but exhaled and felt scared. Fortunately, he came to see Qiao Liang tonight, otherwise it would obviously not do him any good if he doubted him so much. Although Qiao Liang is still at the department level, his position is very different.
You must not offend him. Not only must you not offend him, but you must also find a way to make peace with him.
"Haha, Section Chief Qiao, you are my old subordinate. How could I do such a mean thing to you? It is not allowed by God. When I learned that what happened to you, I didn't sleep well for several nights.
I am very sad, sorry, and sorry. Now that you have been rehabilitated and have become Secretary An's secretary, I am happy and happy for you from the bottom of my heart." Wen Yuan said with a caring and close look.
