The next morning, Qiao Liang and An Zhe had breakfast and walked out of the restaurant.
According to the plan, Anzhe was going to return to Jiangzhou.
Walking to the front of the VIP building, An Zhe said to Qiao Liang, "Xiao Qiao, I'm going to take a walk in front of the building. You go pack your luggage."
Qiao Liang agreed, took An Zhe's room card and entered the building. He packed up his and An Zhe's things and carried his luggage out of the building. He didn't see An Zhe in front of the building.
Qiao Liang looked at Zhao Qiang in front of the car. Zhao Qiang pointed to the small garden next to him. Qiao Liang looked in the direction of Zhao Qiang's finger and was slightly startled. An Zhe was there with Guan Xinmin. Guan Xinmin was walking leisurely with his hands behind his back.
, Anzhe followed and said something.
Zhao Qiang whispered: "When Secretary An was walking in front of the building, he happened to meet the senior leader. The senior leader said he wanted to have a casual chat with Secretary An, and then they went over there."
Qiao Liang nodded, looking at Guan Xinmin and Anzhe who were walking and talking, and thought to himself that Guan Xinmin would not chat casually with Anzhe. He didn't know what Guan Xinmin would ask Anzhe, and he didn't know how Anzhe would answer.
Qiao Liang put his luggage in the car and stood next to the car smoking while looking at the small garden from time to time. Guan Xinmin and Anzhe continued to walk and chat. Guan Xinmin's face seemed to be more relaxed and leisurely.
, while Anzhe seemed a little cautious.
Half a day later, An Zhe came back, and Guan Xinmin continued walking in the small garden.
An Zhe got in the car directly, Qiao Liang also got in the car, Zhao Qiang started the car, left Huangyuan Hotel and went straight to Jiangzhou.
On the way, Anzhe sat silently in the back seat of the car, frowning slightly.
Qiao Liang looked at Anzhe in the rearview mirror and said nothing.
After a long while, Anzhe breathed out softly and said to himself: "I haven't been idle..."
From An Zhe's words, Qiao Liang seemed to realize something, but it was a little vague.
Then An Zhe said: "Xiao Qiao, go to Yangshan for lunch at noon."
When Qiao Liang heard this, he took out his cell phone and prepared to call Ren Quan.
An Zhe then added: "Tell Ren Quan not to disturb other people in the county and just let him have dinner with me."
Qiao Liang nodded, then dialed Ren Quan's phone and told him what An Zhe said, and Ren Quan hurriedly agreed.
Then An Zhe said: "Open the electronic version of Jiangzhou Daily and let me take a look at today's reports."
Qiao Liang knew what report An Zhe wanted to read, so he opened the electronic version of Jiangzhou Daily and handed it to An Zhe.
An Zhe looked at it for a while and nodded: "Yes, Shao Bingyu arranged it well and wrote good comments, which deepened the spirit of my speech... Well, there is also a news feature about you..."
After speaking, An Zhe handed the phone to Qiao Liang. Qiao Liang took it and looked at it. Yesterday's graduation ceremony was arranged on the front page, which highlighted An Zhe's talk about eliminating Jing and Tang Yidu, and distributed a letter written by Shao Bingyu himself.
The comments have clear views and closely match the spirit of Anzhe's speech. In the lower right corner of the first page, there is also a news feature about the episode between Feng Yunming and himself at the graduation ceremony, which is very vivid.
Qiao Liang couldn't help but admire Shao Bingyu's sensitivity and literary talent in journalism. In this regard, she was no less than Ye Xinyi.
Qiao Liang knew that after the news came out, An Zhe's signal to eliminate Jing and Tang's poison would definitely attract the attention of Jiangzhou's top officials.
Of course, in addition to the top management, there will also be many people at the middle and lower levels who will pay close attention, especially Tang Shusen's old subordinates who have not been involved for the time being. They will definitely be uneasy.
Among these people, Ren Quan should also be included. Although he distanced himself from Tang Shusen in the later period, what about before? What happened between him and Tang Shusen before, I am afraid only he knows best.
At such a time, Anzhe suddenly wanted to go to Yangshan and asked Ren Quan to have a meal with him alone. It seemed that it was not just a matter of having a meal, but it might have a deeper meaning.
Thinking of this, Qiao Liang nodded secretly. An Zhe had his own reasons for going to Yangshan, and what Ren Quan was looking forward to most at this time should be An Zhe's visit to Yangshan.
At almost noon, the car got off the expressway at the Yangshan exit and went straight to the Yangshan County Party Committee Guest House.
After entering the guest house, Ren Quan was waiting in front of the guest building.
The car stopped and Ren Quan rushed to greet him.
Qiao Liang got out of the car, nodded to Ren Quan, and greeted politely: "Secretary Ren..."
Ren Quan smiled at Qiao Liang, then opened the rear door. An Zhe got out of the car, briefly shook hands with Ren Quan, and said simply: "Go directly to dinner."
"Secretary An, please—" Ren Quan hurriedly led the way.
After entering the private room of the restaurant, Anzhe sat down in the middle, lit a cigarette, took two puffs, and said to Ren Quan, "Serve the wine and the food."
Ren Quan hurriedly arranged for the waiters, and the food and wine were served quickly. There were only three people at the big table: An Zhe, Ren Quan and Qiao Liang. Qiao Liang asked the waiter to go out and pour the wine for An Zhe and Ren Quan himself.
"Secretary An, you are welcome to come to Yangshan for inspection..." Ren Quan raised his glass. Before he finished speaking, An Zhe had already picked up the glass, took a sip and drank.
Ren Quan was also busy drinking.
Qiao Liang didn't do it and took a small sip.
Then An Zhe put down his wine glass and looked at Ren Quan: "Secretary Ren, I am returning to Jiangzhou from Huangyuan this time and passing through Yangshan, so I want to talk to you specifically..."
Ren Quan nodded.
"First tell me about the recent situation in Yangshan." An Zhe said.
Ren Quan then began to report, and while reporting to everyone, they were eating and drinking, and Qiao Liang kept pouring tea and wine for them.
After Ren Quan finished his report, An Zhe nodded and looked at Ren Quan: "Have you read today's Jiangzhou Daily?"
"See." Ren Quan nodded quickly.
"What do you think after watching it?" An Zhe continued.
"This..." Ren Quan looked slightly uneasy, "I think Secretary An's speech is very necessary and timely. It has important practical and guiding significance for stabilizing the current situation in Jiangzhou."
"Is that all?" An Zhe asked.
"This..." Ren Quan didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Has it been combined with itself?" Anzhe said calmly.
"Yes, yes!" Ren Quan nodded hurriedly, the uneasiness on his face became more obvious.
"Actually, it's not just you, everyone needs to combine themselves, including me." An Zhe said.
Ren Quan nodded again.
An Zhe continued: "I came here today for only one thing, and that is to hear your truest thoughts."
"I will report to Secretary An truthfully." Ren Quan said.
An Zhe nodded, then looked at Qiao Liang: "Xiao Qiao, you eat first."
Qiao Liang understood what An Zhe meant. He wanted to listen to Ren Quan's report alone.
Qiao Liang finished the meal in two bites, then wiped his mouth and said, "I'm done eating. The two leaders will eat slowly."
After saying that, Qiao Liang left the room, closed the door, and walked out of the restaurant.
Qiao Liang knew that the next private conversation between An Zhe and Ren Quan would be extremely important to Ren Quan and could even determine his life or death in officialdom.
Qiao Liang walked around the restaurant, wondering what An Zhe would ask Ren Quan, how Ren Quan would report to An Zhe, and whether the content of the report would satisfy An Zhe.
Qiao Liang couldn't help but sigh at this time. As the boss of Yangshan, Ren Quan could call the shots in Yangshan, but in front of An Zhe, he was just a lamb and had no control over his own destiny.
Ren Quan is like this. Compared to An Zhe, how can he be different in front of the big guys in Huangyuan?
In this way, in a strict hierarchical system, in the end, one thing comes down to another, and the fate and future of the subordinates are always in the hands of the superiors. This seems to be an inevitable necessity for the subordinates, and it also seems to be a kind of sadness.
Just as he was sighing, a car entered the guest house and stopped next to Qiao Liang.
Qiao Liang looked at the car number and it was Liu Bentao's.
