For some reason, Qiao Liang's heart jumped a few times when he heard Kong Jie's voice.
An Zhe continued: "Kong Jie, where are you now?"
"Secretary An, I have the holidays these days. I returned home to Songbei after my shift and will rush back to the bureau to work tomorrow morning," Kong Jie said.
"Okay, have dinner with me tonight." An Zhe said simply.
"Ah, Secretary An, you...are you in Songbei?" Kong Jie was a little surprised.
"I am returning to Jiangzhou from other places. I will get off the expressway in Songbei and have dinner in Songbei before going back."
Hearing what An Zhe said, Qiao Liang knew that An Zhe had changed his mind temporarily and wanted to have dinner with Kong Jie in Songbei. Seeing that the Songbei exit was ahead, he drove straight on.
At this time, Qiao Liang didn't know why An Zhe suddenly wanted to have dinner with Kong Jie in Songbei, but since he made such an arrangement, he must have his reasons, and he couldn't ask any more questions.
Kong Jie was a little confused at this time, and then said: "Okay, Secretary An, I will pick you up at the expressway exit now."
"No need to answer, just find a hotel and text the address to Xiao Qiao, and we'll go directly there," An Zhe said.
Qiao Liang was stunned again. Anzhe was eating in Songbei and did not intend to go to the county party committee guest house. If so, he did not intend to alarm the people in the county, including Miao Peilong and Yao Jian.
The holiday ends tomorrow, and the main leaders in Songbei County are likely to be in Songbei today.
Kong Jie was also stunned for a moment, and then realized that Anzhe planned to have dinner with him only and did not want the county leaders to know.
Kong Jie was confused, but he didn't think much about it at this time and hurriedly agreed: "Okay, Secretary An."
Anzhe then hung up the phone.
While driving, Qiao Liang was thinking about Zheng Shidong's call to An Zhe just now, and the fact that An Zhe suddenly wanted to have dinner with Kong Jie in Songbei, and he couldn't help but want to connect the two things.
This connection made me tremble with fear. Could it be that what Zheng Shidong reported was related to Kong Jie? If so, what could it be?
Qiao Liang was immediately confused. If what Zheng Shidong reported was really related to Kong Jie, then why did An Zhe suddenly want to have dinner with Kong Jie? What was his plan?
Qiao Liang fell into confusion for a moment and couldn't figure it out.
At this time, a text message came from Qiao Liang's cell phone. It was the hotel address sent by Kong Jie.
Qiao Liang drove directly to the hotel. It was getting late and night began to cover the small Songbei County.
When they arrived at the hotel, Kong Jie had already arrived and was standing at the door looking up. Qiao Liang parked the car next to him. Kong Jie didn't pay attention. He didn't know that An Zhe had taken the business trip and was waiting for An Zhe's special car.
Qiao Liang rolled down the window: "Director Kong."
Kong Jie heard this and then saw Qiao Liang and the businessman. He was stunned for a moment and then said: "Chief Qiao, Secretary An is here..."
"Secretary An is in the car." Qiao Liang said.
Just as Kong Jie was about to open the rear door, An Zhe had already opened the car door and came out, and then Qiao Liang and Xiao Tao also got out of the car.
Kong Jie saw that the driver was Qiao Liang, not An Zhe's car. He also saw a little girl getting out of the car. He couldn't figure out what they were doing and couldn't help but feel a little confused.
Qiao Liang immediately told Kong Jie: "Secretary An went out to relax and didn't use the official car. This little girl is Secretary An's nanny."
Kong Jie seemed to understand, nodded, and then said respectfully to An Zhe: "Secretary An, shall we go directly to the room?"
An Zhe nodded and strode into the hotel. Kong Jie hurriedly led the way, and Qiao Liang and Xiao Tao followed.
After entering the private room, An Zhe sat down on the upper seat and said to Kong Jie: "Serve the meal directly."
"Secretary An, why don't you drink some?" Kong Jie was surprised again.
For some reason, Kong Jie felt a little nervous.
Anzhe didn't speak for a while.
Kong Jie looked at Qiao Liang.
Qiao Liang said: "Secretary An, you are very tired after riding in the car for a day. Why don't you drink some wine to relieve your fatigue?"
Kong Jie blinked. He didn't know where Anzhe went to relax. He actually took a car for a whole day. It seemed that the distance was not close.
Kong Jie continued: "Yes, Secretary An, I'm tired from the journey, so drink some wine to relieve your fatigue."
An Zhe nodded: "Okay, let's have a bottle of white wine."
Kong Jie breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Anzhe liked to drink strong wine, so he asked the waiter to bring him a bottle of Laojiao.
Food and wine were served together, Qiao Liang and Xiao Tao ate directly, while Kong Jie drank with An Zhe.
Kong Jie picked up the wine glass and was about to toast An Zhe when An Zhe picked up the wine glass, tilted his neck, drank it, and drank it first.
Kong Jie was startled, then he did it, then picked up the wine bottle and poured wine for Anzhe.
An Zhe looked at Kong Jie and said, "I'm passing by here for a quick meal today. After that, I'll go back to Jiangzhou overnight. Don't tell anyone in the county."
Kong Jie nodded while pouring the wine, feeling that An Zhe's behavior today was a bit strange.
After pouring the wine, Kong Jie picked up the glass and said, "Secretary An, let me toast you."
An Zhe did it by himself before he even toasted to him just now. Kong Jie felt that he had not fulfilled his etiquette.
An Zhe didn't touch the glass: "If you're not busy drinking, please report to me your recent work situation and ideological trends."
Kong Jie was stunned again. Could it be that An Zhe suddenly came to Songbei to have dinner with him just to hear this? It wouldn't be too late to report this after work tomorrow, so why would he want to listen now?
Without any time to think, Kong Jie quickly concentrated, organized his thoughts, and began to report.
Anzhe lit a cigarette and smoked it slowly while listening.
Qiao Liang and Xiao Tao were busy eating.
After a long time, Kong Jie finished his report, and Qiao Liang and Xiao Tao also finished eating.
An Zhe looked at Xiao Tao: "Are you full?"
"Yeah." Xiao Tao nodded.
"When you're full, let's go out for a walk." An Zhe said in a gentle tone.
Xiaotao went out knowingly.
Qiao Liang heard that An Zhe asked Xiao Tao to go out, but didn't say anything about himself, so he decided to sit here and listen to what An Zhe and Kong Jie would say next.
But they couldn't sit here doing nothing, so Qiao Liang poured them tea.
An Zhe then looked at Kong Jie: "Is the report truthful?"
"Truthfully." Kong Jie nodded quickly.
"Does it stand the test of practice?" An Zhe continued.
Kong Jie nodded hurriedly: "Secretary An, I think I have a clear conscience regarding my work since I took office at the Radio, Film and Television Bureau. Regarding my thoughts, I reported to Secretary An honestly and truthfully from the bottom of my heart, without any fraud."
An Zhe nodded and took two more puffs of cigarette: "Kong Jie, do you still remember the content of the conversation I had with you before you took office as Director of Radio, Film and Television?"
"Remember, I have always kept in mind Secretary An's instructions and instructions to me that day." Kong Jie nodded seriously.
"Have you really kept it in mind and put it into action?" An Zhe's tone was serious.
Kong Jie felt a chill in his heart and said solemnly: "Yes, Secretary An, ever since you talked to me that time, I have made up my mind to live up to Secretary An's ardent expectations of me at all times."
An Zhe was silent for a moment and looked at Kong Jie with sharp eyes, which made Kong Jie feel anxious, nervous and a little confused.
Looking at the situation, Qiao Liang made a rough judgment in his mind at this time. The matter reported by Zheng Shidong should be related to Kong Jie. The reason why An Zhe suddenly changed his mind to have a meal with Kong Jie was to observe Kong Jie's behavior and verify and examine him.
Ichiban.
I just don't know how An Zhe judged Kong Jie's answer at this time.
