After dinner, everyone came out, and after a while Liao Gufeng came out after finishing his meal.
"Secretary An, please accompany me for a walk in the yard." Liao Gufeng said as he walked with his hands behind his back.
So An Zhe walked with Liao Gufeng in the yard, chatting about something while walking.
Everyone didn't go far and stood nearby waiting. Song Liang kept a distance and followed behind Liao Gufeng and An Zhe.
Miao Peilong looked at Xu Chan: "Xiao Xu, have the rooms of the secretaries and drivers of the two big leaders been arranged?"
Xu Chan hurriedly said: "Secretary Miao, everything has been arranged. Director Song's will be opposite Secretary Liao, Section Chief Qiao's will be opposite Secretary An, and the two drivers' will be next to them, both in single rooms."
Miao Peilong nodded, and suddenly remembered something: "By the way, Xiao Xu, please notify the service desk immediately. When delivering fruit to Secretary An's room, remember to put a pear, a big one."
Xu Chan agreed and went.
Qiao Liang felt strange when he heard this and looked at Miao Peilong: "Is this what Secretary An wants?"
"Yes." Miao Peilong nodded, "Secretary An specifically told me after dinner."
"Why only one?"
Miao Peilong couldn't figure it out: "Well... I also feel strange. Could it be that Secretary An wants to eat pears, but feels that it is too much and wasteful?"
Qiao Liang shook his head. This explanation seemed unreasonable, but he couldn't figure out why.
After a while, Qiao Liang asked Miao Peilong: "Will Secretary Liao still have a discussion in Songbei tomorrow?"
Miao Peilong shook his head: "While eating, I gave Secretary Liao a report on the development of forestry and fruit industry in the barren mountains of Songbei. After he listened, he said that he would go to the mountains tomorrow and then go to Jiangzhou."
"Did Secretary Liao say what exactly he was going to Jiangzhou for?"
"No."
"Secretary An didn't ask?"
"No."
Qiao Liang nodded. During the meal, Liao Gufeng didn't say why he went to Jiangzhou in front of Miao Peilong and Yao Jian. So, would he say it when he was walking with An Zhe?
It seems that Liao Gufeng's weekend getaway was a bit mysterious.
After a while, Liao Gufeng and An Zhe came back. An Zhe said: "Secretary Liao, why don't you go to your room for some entertainment?"
"How to entertain?"
"Playing poker."
Liao Gufeng laughed: "You just like playing poker, you have no sense of innovation at all."
Everyone started laughing.
"Okay, let's play poker. You and I will play against the two county magistrates." Liao Gufeng said.
So everyone entered the building together. An Zhe, Miao Peilong, and Yao Jian accompanied Liao Gufeng into his room. Song Liang went in for a while and came out and returned to his room.
Just as Qiao Liang was about to go back to the room, he saw the waiter heading straight to Anzhe's room with the fruit plate. He stopped and looked at it. There was indeed a pear in the fruit plate. The pear was not small and would be enough for Anzhe to eat later.
Qiao Liang returned to the room and leaned on the bedside to watch TV.
At this time, Qiao Liang was a little uneasy for some unknown reason.
After a while, the phone in the room rang, Qiao Liang picked up the phone: "Hello -"
"Brother Qiao, is this convenient for you?" Zhao Qiang's voice said.
"It's convenient, what can I do?"
"My cousin called me just now. She wants to sit in your room now, but she's afraid of delaying you."
From Zhao Qiang's words, Qiao Liang felt that although Xu Chan met her today, subconsciously, she still felt that there was a distance between her and Zhao Qiang had to ask Zhao Qiang first if she wanted to sit down with him.
"I'll be fine now, just let her come."
"Okay, I'll tell her right now."
After putting down the phone, Qiao Liang sat on the sofa. Knowing that Xu Chan came to sit with her, she probably wanted to express her gratitude in person for her help.
After a while someone knocked on the door.
Qiao Liang went over and opened the door, and Xu Chan stood at the door.
"Director Xu, please come in." Qiao Liang smiled.
When Xu Chan came in, Qiao Liang closed the door and pointed at the sofa: "Director Xu, please sit down -"
Xu Chan sat on the sofa, and Qiao Liang sat opposite her: "Would you like some water?"
Xu Chan shook her head: "You're welcome, Chief Qiao. In fact, I came to you tonight specifically because I wanted to..."
"You want to thank me, right?" Qiao Liang interrupted Xu Chan and smiled.
Xu Chan laughed and nodded: "Yes, Section Chief Qiao is a happy person. Thanks to your help, I am really grateful."
"Director Xu, you're welcome. Zhao Qiang and I are partners who serve Secretary An together. This favor should be done without asking anyone else. Of course, the person who should be most grateful for this is Secretary Miao. If he doesn't agree, Zhao Qiang and I will never agree again."
No matter how hard you try, it’s all in vain.”
"Haha, you all should be grateful. I think you are really lucky that my cousin can work with you and that Secretary Miao gives you such face."
"It's fate that Zhao Qiang and I work together. Secretary Miao can give me face, isn't it because I am Secretary An's secretary? So, I still benefit from Secretary An, don't you think?"
Xu Chan nodded: "When my cousin talked to me about you, he admired you very much. He said that you are very capable in all aspects, and you are also very righteous and kind."
"Thank you." Qiao Liang smiled, "Actually, you are not bad. If you don't have the ability, even if I tell Secretary Miao, he may not arrange for you to be the deputy director of the county party committee office. Therefore, working within the system is just a matter of
It doesn’t matter if you have a relationship, you have to be capable, so you must do it well.”
"What Director Qiao said is reasonable. I will do a good job in this position and I will definitely live up to your expectations."
"What you said is wrong. You should live up to Secretary Miao." Qiao Liang corrected.
Xu Chan smiled: "I should be able to live up to it."
Qiao Liang laughed and felt that Xu Chan was very good at talking.
After a while Xu Chan suddenly said: "Chief Qiao, you and Secretary Miao have a good personal relationship?"
Qiao Liang's heart moved and he looked at Xu Chan: "Did Zhao Qiang tell you?"
"No, my cousin said that you and Secretary Miao only have a working relationship and have no personal relationship."
"Then why do you ask that?" Qiao Liang frowned.
"I felt it by accident."
"What kind of accidental method?" Qiao Liang became interested.
Xu Chan said: "Once I went to the countryside with Secretary Miao. When I returned to the city after lunch, Secretary Miao drank some wine and talked on the phone with someone in the car. I heard him mention you to that person. I heard him mention you.
His tone was very affectionate, so I felt that way."
"Do you know who Secretary Miao called?" Qiao Liang said calmly.
Xu Chan shook her head: "I only heard Secretary Miao call him Brother Li."
Qiao Liang understood that Miao Peilong had drunk some wine and mentioned himself when he was on the phone with Li Youwei, and Xu Chan happened to overhear it.
Since Miao Peilong talked about himself with Li Youwei, his tone was naturally affectionate, and it was not surprising that Xu Chan felt this.
Qiao Liang was very reluctant to let people in the system know that he and Miao Peilong had a good personal relationship, but since Xu Chan felt it, there was no point in denying it.
Thinking of the relationship between Xu Chan and Zhao Qiang, Qiao Liang felt a little uncomfortable.
"Director Xu, let's put it this way, the man Li who called Secretary Miao is my old leader. He has now retired from officialdom. When I followed that old leader, I often had meals with Secretary Miao. Plus
We are all from Sanjiang, and we have become familiar with each other from time to time." Qiao Liang thought as he said, "However, within the system, very few people know that Secretary Miao and I have a personal relationship. It can be said that there is no one before you, and...
I don’t want more people to know about it from now on.”
