Qiao Liang nodded: "Yes, Mr. Wei is very good at flattery. He is much better at this than me."
An Zhe frowned slightly: "It's actually not good for young people to be like this. They should be down-to-earth and do more practical things. Among the Jiangzhou fellows who came tonight, Wei Xiaobei is the youngest. It is said that young people are so promising.
Everyone should like him, but I saw at the banquet table tonight that everyone didn’t seem to like him very much. They didn’t talk to him or drink with him. He seemed a little isolated. I don’t know why.”
Qiao Liang thought for a while and decided to tell An Zhe part of the truth.
"Secretary An, I was actually aware of this. It was strange at the time. But later when I went to the bathroom, I overheard the conversation between two fellow villagers, so it wasn't surprising."
"Oh, what's going on?" Anzhe became interested.
"I heard from the two fellow villagers that Wei Xiaobei was a poor man when he first came to Sioux City, but he was handsome and well-spoken. He fell in love with a rich woman from Singapore. The rich woman doted on him, so she stayed in Suzhou.
The Sioux City Investment Group was handed over to him for management and made him the president. Therefore, fellow Sioux City people looked down on him and thought he was a softie."
"Oh, that's it." An Zhe nodded, then smiled, "Interesting."
"It's a bit interesting." Qiao Liang also laughed.
"Do you think Wei Xiaobei is doing this well?" An Zhe looked at Qiao Liang.
"Not good." Qiao Liang said simply.
"Why is it bad?"
"When men come out to hang out, they should rely on their own abilities to work hard. It's too shameful and undignified to live on a soft diet."
An Zhe smiled: "What you said makes sense, but from another perspective, Wei Xiaobei's approach seems understandable."
"Why?" Qiao Liang asked puzzled.
An Zhe said unhurriedly: "Because for a person, survival is the first thing at any time. When a person, especially a man, is reduced to fighting for survival, it is often very difficult.
It’s hard to maintain dignity.”
Qiao Liang looked at An Zhe thoughtfully.
An Zhe then said meaningfully: "This is true in life, and so is the workplace and officialdom."
Qiao Liang continued to think deeply.
An Zhe continued: "Of course, not everyone will be like this. Some people will not lose their basic dignity as a human being, even if they are desperate and desperate."
Qiao Liang looked up at An Zhe and nodded: "Yes, there are indeed such people. Such people have backbone and integrity, and are the most worthy of respect and respect."
"Xiao Qiao, are you this kind of person?" An Zhe looked at Qiao Liang.
Qiao Liang took a deep breath: "Secretary An, you should decide whether I am this kind of person, or even if you don't know me well enough now to make a decision, you will definitely be able to see clearly in the future.
See clearly."
An Zhe smiled slightly: "Xiao Qiao, your answer is very smart, meaningful and full of confidence."
Qiao Liang smiled: "I believe that by following Secretary An, under your diligent teaching and words and deeds, I will grow into a person who satisfies Secretary An."
An Zhe nodded: "I'm quite satisfied with your answer."
Qiao Liang was secretly happy, but then felt a little regretful. It was not enough to be relatively satisfied, but to be very satisfied.
An Zhe continued: "I also have many shortcomings. You can learn from the good things about me, but don't learn from the bad things."
Qiao Liang was startled: "But, so far, I haven't found any shortcomings in you. There are many places worth learning from you, and I believe I won't find any shortcomings in you in the future."
An Zhe snorted: "I think your flattery skills are almost as good as those of Wei Xiaobei."
Qiao Liang grinned.
This brief conversation with An Zhe made Qiao Liang feel that the distance between herself and An Zhe was getting closer unknowingly. It seemed that the personal relationship between the two was gradually developing.
This made Qiao Liang feel quite happy.
Hey, the relationship with women needs to be cultivated, and the same is true with men.
Of course, Qiao Liang also knew that the most important thing for him to truly cultivate a deep personal relationship with An Zhe was trust, mutual trust.
The trust between a man and a woman is gold, and the trust between a man and a man is diamond.
And this trust is not achieved overnight, nor can it be established in a day or two. It needs to be gradually accumulated in daily life, and it needs to be tested and tempered by strong winds and waves.
Although the journey is long and unknown, Qiao Liang is full of confidence.
Dear book friends, I have opened my own WeChat public account. You can find me by searching "天下伊客" on WeChat. There will be little highlights in it from time to time. Thank you for your attention.
Two days later, the study tour in Sioux City ended.
At this point, the half-month expedition to the south has ended, and we will return tomorrow.
That night, the hospitable host held a farewell banquet for the inspection group. Leaders of several major teams in Suzhou attended the farewell banquet. Everyone drank and drank happily.
Although An Zhe drank a lot, he still drank a little too much in the face of the gracious host's persuasion.
Xu Honggang and Qin Chuan also drank a lot.
Qiao Liang, Zhang Lin, Ye Xinyi, and Lu Qian were at the same table. Seeing the senior leaders drinking freely, and the inspection ended successfully, they all felt more relaxed and drank a lot.
After the farewell banquet was over and the host was sent away, Qiao Liang sent An Zhe back to his room. An Zhe happily invited Xu Honggang and Qin Chuan to play poker. However, An Zhe asked Qiao Liang to call Miao Peilong.
When three big guys are playing poker, whoever is invited to come is a special treat.
When Qiao Liang went to call Miao Peilong, he was chatting with several county party secretaries in the room.
Hearing Qiao Liang ask Miao Peilong to play poker with the three big guys, the other county party secretaries couldn't help but feel a little envious, and the envious look in Cheng Hui's eyes was especially obvious.
Miao Peilong happily followed Qiao Liang to Anzhe's room. As he walked, he put his arm around Qiao Liang's shoulders and said affectionately: "Brother, we haven't had the opportunity to talk alone these days. I will arrange a meeting when I have time later. Let's have a good time."
Nagging."
Qiao Liang smiled and said: "Brother Miao, you are so busy in Songbei, and I follow Secretary An all day long. It is so hard to find opportunities. It's great if you have this intention. I understand."
"Haha, that's true. Sometimes I'm so busy that I can't even make a living, so your sister-in-law has a lot of objections to me." Miao Peilong said with a smile.
Qiao Liang smiled again, and then thought of something: "By the way, Brother Miao, is Xu Chan doing well recently?"
"Very good. He works hard and is very dedicated and responsible. I have to thank my brother for recommending such a capable person to me."
"Don't say that. I have to thank Brother Miao for giving me face and arranging Xu Chan so well."
"Brothers, why are we so polite? Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of the people you introduce."
"Thank you so much, Brother Miao."
"Hey, brother, you are too polite again..."
The two of them chatted and laughed until they arrived at the door of Anzhe's room. Then Miao Peilong let go of Qiao Liang's shoulders and entered the room with a humble expression.
"Peilong, come, join forces with me to fight Mayor Hong Gang and Secretary-General Qin." An Zhe waved.
"Hey, okay, if I don't play well, Secretary An, please don't criticize me." Miao Peilong said with a smile.
An Zhe glared: "They are worthless. They are saying depressing words before the fight even starts. You must fight them hard and try to knock them down."
Everyone laughed.
Qin Chuan murmured in his heart. He originally thought that An Zhe would join forces with Xu Honggang, but he didn't expect An Zhe to choose Miao Peilong. It seemed that he would only team up with Xu Honggang.
Qin Chuan still felt awkward at the thought of being with Xu Honggang, even though they were just playing poker.
