Chapter 50 What should be said and what should not be said
Qiao Liang blinked. Yuan Lizhi wanted to treat him to a meal. It was obviously not as simple as calming down the panic. Everyone knew about his rescue of Xu Honggang. Obviously everyone understood the importance he now held in Xu Honggang's eyes.
Yuan Lizhi should have some ideas, but I don't know if he wants to get close to him over a meal, or if he wants to find out some information.
"Thank you very much for Director Yuan's kindness. I'm just sorry. I have an appointment tonight. Let's just leave it at that. I'll treat you to dinner another day."
"Oh..." Yuan Lizhi was a little disappointed and continued, "Since Director Qiao has a meeting in the evening, are you free now? Let's have tea together?"
Qiao Liang's heart moved. Yuan Lizhi seemed to want to see him quickly, but he didn't know what was going on.
With Yuan Lizhi's current status, he asked himself to have tea. If he refused, it would seem a bit disrespectful.
Qiao Liang thought for a while and agreed to Yuan Lizhi's request, making an appointment to meet at a teahouse in half an hour.
After hanging up the phone, Qiao Liang went to Xu Honggang's office and told Xu Honggang about Yuan Lizhi's invitation to have tea with him.
Qiao Liang did this deliberately. Yuan Lizhi is the chairman of the Radio, Film and Television Bureau, and he has been suppressed by Chu Heng before. Now he must be eager to correct the situation, and the power of correcting the situation lies in the hands of Xu Honggang.
At such a time, Yuan Lizhi made an appointment with him to meet him, as long as nothing happened. If something happened, he would be put into a passive situation. It was better to tell Xu Hongzhang first, maybe he could get some direction from him.
After listening to Qiao Liang's words, Xu Honggang showed a look of satisfaction on his face. This guy was very measured in his actions and considered the issues very carefully.
"Minister Xu, what do you think I should say and what should not be said when meeting Director Yuan?"
"You just say what you should say, and you don't say what you shouldn't say." Xu Honggang answered simply.
Qiao Liang grinned and touched his head. Xu Honggang didn't say this.
Seeing Qiao Liang's silly look, Xu Honggang laughed, picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, and then said slowly: "I heard that Yuan Lizhi's previous situation at the Radio, Film and Television Bureau was similar to Wen Yuan's situation at the newspaper before Brother Youwei's accident.
, right?”
Xu Honggang's words obviously told Qiao Liang that he knew about Chu Heng's suppression of Yuan Lizhi.
In front of Xu Honggang, Qiao Liang didn't want to say anything unfavorable to Chu Heng. Firstly, Chu Heng was the deputy minister, and it was not appropriate for subordinates to discuss their superiors behind their backs. Secondly, Chu Heng had a good personal relationship with him and had always cared about him.
, this is too unjust.
But Qiao Liang couldn't lie to Xu Honggang, because it was true that Chu Heng suppressed Yuan Lizhi. If he denied it, Xu Honggang would doubt his relationship with Chu Heng, and even shake the precious trust he had just established in him.
After thinking quickly, Qiao Liang said: "I really don't know much about the internal situation of the Radio, Film and Television Bureau. Director Yuan and I have only met each other a few times. Today is the first time I have spoken to him on the phone."
"Isn't your lover Zhang Mei the deputy section chief of the Personnel Section of the Radio, Film and Television Bureau? She hasn't talked to you at home?"
Qiao Liang smiled: "Zhang Mei and I rarely talk about work at home. What she cares about most is clothes, jewelry and cosmetics."
Qiao Liang told the truth. Zhang Mei did have these three hobbies. The two rarely communicated at home. Qiao Liang never took the initiative to ask Zhang Mei about the Radio, Film and Television Bureau. Zhang Mei rarely said anything, but she was very interested in newspaper matters.
She was interested in Li Youwei and often asked her about some things. Qiao Liang was very strict and rarely told her. Even if he did, it was only about eating and drinking here and there, except for the fact that the boss of the paper factory sent gold bars, which was accidentally discovered by Zhang Mei.
Xu Honggang nodded and said, "I heard that Zhang Mei was promoted when Minister Chu was the Director of Radio, Film and Television?"
Qiao Liang was startled. Xu Honggang knew a lot. What did he mean by asking? Did he know that Chu Heng was the matchmaker between him and Zhang Mei? Did he know that he and Chu Heng had a close personal relationship?
Ever since Xu Honggang used the Tang Dynasty Group's cultural symposium to issue internal documents to attack Chu Heng, Qiao Liang had been extra cautious about their words and deeds when they mentioned each other in front of him.
Chu Heng is from Tang Shusen. Xu Honggang is working hard to eliminate Tang Shusen's legacy and is eager to open up a new situation. Tang Shusen's old people in the publicity system are stepping aside one after another. A few days ago, the head of the finance department of the Ministry of Finance was transferred to the same level.
CFCS. At times like this, it is extremely important to stand in line. If you are not careful, you will fall into a passive situation.
Now when Xu Honggang asked about Zhang Mei's promotion, it was definitely not casual.
Qiao Liang's mind quickly wandered: "Zhang Mei has been in the Human Resources Department of the Radio, Film and Television Bureau since she started working. When the Radio, Film and Television Bureau held an internal middle-level competition, she participated and was hired as deputy section chief. At the same time, several ordinary staff were promoted.
It’s a minor subject.”
Xu Honggang chuckled: "Well, not bad, you go ahead."
I wonder if Xu Honggang is right, referring to Zhang Mei's promotion or Qiao Liang's answer.
After walking out of Xu Honggang's office, Qiao Liang breathed a sigh of relief, but felt a little uneasy and went directly to the teahouse.
Yuan Lizhi arrived early and was waiting for Qiao Liang in the private room.
Yuan Lizhi greeted Qiao Liang warmly and asked the waiter to make a pot of West Lake Longjing. The two drank and chatted.
"Brother Qiao is a family member of our Radio, Film and Television Bureau. Zhang Mei has done a good job in the personnel department, and the bureau leaders are very appreciative of it." Yuan Lizhi started the topic with Zhang Mei, hoping to get closer to Qiao Liang.
Unexpectedly, Yuan Lizhi made the wrong decision. The last person Qiao Liang wanted to talk to was Zhang Mei.
Qiao Liang smiled dryly and didn't answer.
When Yuan Lizhi saw that Qiao Liang was not interested in this topic, he was slightly startled, and then changed the topic, "Brother Qiao is now a popular person in Minister Xu's eyes. Brother Qiao saved Minister Xu. Such an opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Most people don't meet it once in a lifetime."
If not, you should really congratulate Brother Qiao."
Qiao Liang laughed and thought, Damn, this opportunity almost killed me!
Qiao Liang didn't want to hang around with Yuan Lizhi, so he said directly: "Director Yuan asked me to have tea. He must have something serious to discuss, right?"
Seeing that Qiao Liang spoke directly, Yuan Lizhi stopped going around and nodded: "Yes, I asked you to meet me today because I want to get some information from you. I wonder if I will give you a favor."
"Director Yuan, don't say that. You're doing me a great favor by inviting me to tea. I'm flattered. If the leader has any instructions, just give them." Qiao Liang said hurriedly.
Yuan Lizhi chuckled: "I speak straightforwardly. I must also know that after Minister Chu left the Radio, Film and Television Bureau, I have been in charge of the work of the Radio, Film and Television Bureau. After Minister Xu came to Jiangzhou, he has not made clear the top candidates for the Radio, Film and Television Bureau. I
The host is a little worried. I am close to Minister Xu, so I know a little bit about what Minister Xu means. I wonder if I can give you some advice."
Qiao Liang picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, then put down the cup and looked at Yuan Lizhi: "Director Yuan, there are only two things I can tell you about this matter."
"Oh, tell me." Yuan Lizhi stared at Qiao Liang closely.
