After Qin Chuan left, Qiao Liang went to Anzhe's office with the speech script.
Anzhe read the speech again and nodded: "Yes, that's all."
Qiao Liang continued: "Secretary-General Qin read the section you asked to add just now and said there was no need to write it down. I told him it was added at your request, and he agreed again."
An Zhe's eyes moved slightly, then nodded: "I understand."
Then Anzhe continued working and Qiao Liang went out.
Sitting in the office, Qiao Liang was smoking while thinking about Qin Chuan's performance just now. He also thought about having dinner with Chu Heng tonight, thinking deeply...
After a while, Qiao Liang picked up the phone and called a nearby seafood restaurant, booked a small single room, and then sent a text message to Chu Heng.
After get off work, Qiao Liang went to the private room of the seafood restaurant. After a while, Chu Heng came.
Then the wine and food were served, and the two began to eat and drink.
After a while, Chu Heng said: "Xiao Qiao, where do you live now after you and Xiao Zhang divorced?"
"Rent in an apartment across from the municipal party committee compound."
"That's good. It's close and convenient for commuting to and from get off work."
"Yes, mainly because of this."
Chu Heng nodded, and then seemed to remember something: "I remember that Ye Xinyi also lived in that apartment after her divorce, right?"
Qiao Liang's heart moved. Why did Chu Heng ask this? Could it be that he was testing him? Could it be that he suspected something about himself and Ye Xinyi?
Qiao Liang suddenly thought of Liu Yiping. She knew that she and Ye Xinyi lived across the street.
Thinking of this, Qiao Liang couldn't help but realize something.
Without thinking too much, Qiao Liang said: "Not only Minister Ye, but Minister Shao also lives in that apartment complex."
"Oh, what a coincidence?" Chu Heng laughed.
"Yes, there is an even better coincidence."
"How to say?"
"Minister Ye and I live across the street." Qiao Liang decided to make the first impression. Only in this way can he dispel some of Chu Heng's suspicions.
"Oh..." Chu Heng said in a long voice and looked at Qiao Liang.
Qiao Liang said while eating: "After I moved out from home, I went to the apartment to look for an apartment. After I found the apartment and moved in, I found out that the door opposite was Minister Ye. Do you think it was a coincidence?"
"That is indeed a coincidence." Chu Heng nodded, and then smiled, "It will be more convenient for you to communicate."
"It's a convenient location. If I had known she was the one living across the door, I wouldn't have rented that house." Qiao Liang said gloomily, "We live across the door, and everyone looks up but doesn't look down. It makes me very awkward, and she doesn't even look at me when she sees her.
She looks so good. If she hadn't been seconded to Huangyuan and usually didn't come back to live, I would have planned to quit the rent and find another apartment. Even so, I felt uncomfortable seeing her on the weekend. I was thinking about waiting for the rent to expire..."
"Hey, no, no, no." Chu Heng interrupted Qiao Liang and waved his hand, "It's not easy to find a suitable house. It's a lot of trouble moving here and there. I think living here is not bad."
"What do you mean..." Qiao Liang looked at Chu Heng.
Chu Heng smiled slightly: "What do you think?"
Qiao Liang blinked: "It seems that I understand something."
Chu Heng laughed again. From the way Qiao Liang said this, and based on his understanding of Qiao Liang, it seemed that he was not lying.
Moreover, Qiao Liang took the initiative to talk about living across the street from Ye Xinyi, which seemed to be a coincidence.
Based on the previous antagonistic and competitive relationship between Qiao Liang and Ye Xinyi, and judging from Qiao Liang's behavior just now, it seems that even though they live across the street, their relationship has not improved much and they don't seem to have much contact.
It seems that I am worrying too much.
Since there are too many worries, there is no need for Qiao Liang to move away. If he lives across from Ye Xinyi, he might be able to find something valuable.
Then Chu Heng said: "Minister Shao also lives in the same building as you?"
Qiao Liang shook his head: "No, she lives in the building behind me."
Chu Heng nodded: "Then you can often meet Director Shao when you go to and from get off work."
Hearing Chu Heng mention Shao Bingyu again, Qiao Liang secretly wondered whether Chu Heng seemed to be sensitive to something.
Qiao Liang then snorted: "It's true that we meet her often, but Minister Shao has never been nice to me, and I'm too lazy to talk to her."
"Why is this?" Chu Heng looked confused.
"I think it's because I don't have a good relationship with Minister Ye, and Minister Shao and Minister Ye have known each other for a long time. Minister Ye must have said a lot of bad things about me in front of Minister Shao, so she treated me like this."
"Oh..." Chu Heng said thoughtfully.
Qiao Liang continued: "There is another thing that is even more irritating. I have been wanting to complain to you these past few days, but I just haven't found the chance."
"What's up?"
Qiao Liang looked angry: "It's about writing a speech for Secretary An for this city-wide publicity meeting. I need some materials and asked Minister Shao to arrange for someone to send them to me, but she refused and asked me to go to her place in person.
While taking it, and the reason was very good, she said that I may not be satisfied with all the materials sent to me, and it would be more appropriate for me to choose them myself, so as to avoid everyone having to worry about it. You think her attitude is irritating or not, she is clearly trying to hurt me.
Let the subordinates take care of you."
Chu Heng blinked. Shao Bingyu did this for work. There was nothing inappropriate. However, Qiao Liang seemed to want to find an excuse to find trouble. He complained to him for this. He had no reason to criticize Shao Bingyu.
"This... Minister Shao seems to be thinking about it from the perspective of work. It's not worth it for you to be angry about this..." Chu Heng comforted Qiao Liang and then said, "Has Secretary An's speech been written?"
"Well, I'll show it to Secretary An this afternoon." Qiao Liang nodded.
"Are Secretary An satisfied?" Chu Heng looked at Qiao Liang calmly.
Seeing Chu Heng's look, Qiao Liang sneered in his heart, and then said: "I was not satisfied with the first draft, so I added another paragraph before it was approved."
"Oh, what content was added?" Chu Heng said with an expression of interest.
So Qiao Liang told Chu Heng.
After listening to what Qiao Liang said, Chu Heng nodded secretly. What he said was the same as what Qin Chuan told him.
This made Chu Heng feel relieved, which showed that Qiao Liang still trusted him and did not lie to him.
At the same time, Chu Heng felt annoyed and anxious. An Zhe said this at the meeting. Some careful and sensitive people will obviously realize something, which will obviously make their faces look bad.
But Chu Heng was helpless, he couldn't influence An Zhe's will.
Qiao Liang continued: "Actually, I don't want to add this paragraph, but if Secretary An wants to do this, I have no choice."
"I understand this. Since Secretary An has given instructions, you should do this." Chu Heng nodded magnanimously and even smiled.
Although Chu Heng expressed this, Qiao Liang could still faintly detect a hint of irritability and embarrassment in his heart, and couldn't help but smile to himself, Damn, I'll see how embarrassed you will be if An Zhe talks like this at the meeting.
Chu Heng then said to himself: "Why did Secretary An think of adding this paragraph?"
Hearing what Chu Heng said, Qiao Liang's heart moved, and Chu Heng became suspicious.
Thinking of Chu Heng suddenly asking him to have dinner tonight, and thinking of Chu Heng's seemingly unintentional topic just now, Qiao Liang's mind was racing, trying to figure out what he was thinking at this moment. Chu Heng seemed to realize that An Zhe knew about his suppression of Shao Bingyu. Guess
I came to Anzhe to take advantage of this meeting to beat him up.
Now that Chu Heng is aware of this, he is likely to suspect that Shao Bingyu filed a complaint against him in front of An Zhe, or that Ye Xinyi made a tip about him to An Zhe after learning about it through Shao Bingyu.
A gentleman is magnanimous, but a villain is always worried. Although Shao Bingyu and Ye Xinyi did not do this, Chu Heng would think so.
Once he doubts this, it will obviously be detrimental to Ye Xinyi and Shao Bingyu.
In this way, Chu Heng's suspicion about Ye Xinyi and Shao Bingyu will be dispelled.
Of course, Chu Heng cannot be allowed to suspect that he did it.
