After getting off work in the afternoon, Qiao Liang received a call from Ding Xiaoyun. After hearing the call, Qiao Liang responded with a smile.
Ding Xiaoyun invited him to dinner, and Qiao Liang naturally accepted the invitation happily.
The place where Ding Xiaoyun invited him to eat was not at a hotel in the county town, but at a roast lamb restaurant in the urban-rural fringe.
When Qiao Liang drove there, Ding Xiaoyun was already sitting in a box in the back.
Pushing the door open, Qiao Liang said with a smile: "It's rare to get Secretary Ding's dinner."
"If County Magistrate Qiao stays and works in Liangbei after his temporary appointment is over, I will often treat you to big dinners." Ding Xiaoyun said with a smile.
Qiao Liang laughed: "Secretary Ding, everyone is part of the organization and can't help themselves. When the temporary post ends, I can only continue to obey the organization's arrangements. It depends on how the organization arranges it and where the organization tells me to go. That’s where you have to go.”
"County Magistrate Qiao, I now feel that your greatest advantage is your principles." Ding Xiaoyun said with a half-smile.
Qiao Liang grinned: "Secretary Ding, are you complimenting me, or..."
"What do you think?"
"I said..." Qiao Liang rolled her eyes, "I said, I have so many advantages, you can't just praise this one."
Ding Xiaoyun laughed, and then the roasted lamb chops arrived. Ding Xiaoyun picked up the wine bottle and poured wine for Qiao Liang.
The wine was poured, the two clinked their glasses, and Qiao Liang drank it all in one gulp.
Then the two of them chatted while eating and drinking. Ding Xiaoyun seemed to be in a very high mood tonight and frequently asked for drinks.
The bottle of liquor was bottomed out, and Ding Xiaoyun glanced at Qiao Liang with a hint of drunkenness: "County Magistrate Qiao, it seems... I think something is a little strange these past two days."
"What kind of weird method?" Qiao Liang asked.
"It's such a strange method." Ding Xiaoyun smiled gently and suddenly said, "County Magistrate Qiao, what do you think of Secretary Yang?"
"Secretary Yang, I don't have much contact with him. Apart from what I learned about him through you before, I actually don't know much about him." Qiao Liang said while eating.
"Really?" Ding Xiaoyun blinked, "That seems a bit strange. I and you went to Secretary Yang's dormitory with a small bottle of wine, and Secretary Yang went to your dormitory with a small bottle of wine. Is this a courtesy exchange between the two of you?"
"Huh? How do you know this?" Qiao Liang said.
"Old saying: If you don't want others to know, you have to do nothing unless you do it yourself."
I believe you! Ding Xiaoyun believes that this guy is definitely not telling the truth, but she still can't figure out what's going on here. She feels that Yang Jinshan's abnormal behavior at the team meeting these two days must be related to Qiao Liang, but why? Ding Xiaoyun couldn't figure out the key even after racking his brain, so this was the reason for tonight's meal.
But obviously, Ding Xiaoyun was disappointed, and Qiao Liang obviously didn't want to tell the truth to her.
This kid will find out the truth sooner or later! Ding Xiaoyun glanced at Qiao Liang secretly and thought to himself.
"Secretary Yang's stance at the team meeting in the past two days has been of great help to me and you. If it weren't for his stance, neither the dismissal of Feng Xueliang or the appointment of He Qingqing as the director of the Poverty Alleviation Office would have happened." It's so easy to pass." Ding Xiaoyun said.
"Well, it is indeed true. It can only be said that those who have gained the right will get more help, while those who have lost the right will have less help." Qiao Liang laughed, "Also, Feng Xueliang himself has made the world angry and resentful. If God wants to destroy him, no one can help him. he."
"He's a good man who has a lot of help, but a bad man has little help. Come on, let's have a drink." Ding Xiaoyun raised his glass.
Qiao Liang and Ding Xiaoyun clinked their glasses and said: "Secretary Ding, I believe that Liangbei will get better and better under your leadership in the future. We, the team members, will unite around you as the squad leader. Under your leadership, we will carry on the past and forge ahead.
It will definitely create a new situation in Liangbei’s work.”
"Haha, this is easier said than done." Ding Xiaoyun smiled bitterly. Although she had suppressed Shang Ke in the team meeting these two days, she knew that it was only temporary. The background and energy behind Shang Ke was an almost insurmountable mountain.
Every time he thinks about this, Ding Xiaoyun's heart feels heavy.
"How can Secretary Ding be so unconfident? There is a saying that if a man is dead and a bird is in the sky, he will not die for tens of thousands of years. If he is afraid of his attack, he will risk his life at worst." Qiao Liang clenched his fists.
"If a man dies, the bird will turn to the sky?" Ding Xiaoyun looked at Qiao Liang in a cute manner, not knowing what this sentence meant.
"Secretary Ding, look, if this person dies, the one underneath him...will still face the sky." Qiao Liang chuckled and explained in the simplest and crudest way.
"Vulgar." Ding Xiaoyun's face turned red, so that was what he meant.
Seeing Ding Xiaoyun like this, Qiao Liang's heart moved slightly and murmured: "Secretary Ding, you look very touching now..."
Hearing Qiao Liang's words, Ding Xiaoyun slightly pursed his lips...
In the county town, Liangping Hotel, a dinner party is also going on.
In the huge luxury box, there were only two people, Shang Ke and Yang Jinshan. At this moment, Shang Ke was already slightly drunk, his face was red with wine, and he was holding hands with Yang Jinshan.
"Old Yang, to be honest, I didn't communicate with you very much before, but I always thought that we brothers were on the same path. We are different from these local bumpkins in Liangbei. We are destined to go up.
Yes, the future... will have a great future in the future. Whether they are local bumpkins or foreigners, who do you think they are? Can they compare with our two brothers?" Shang Ke spoke loudly and was a little awkward when speaking.
Yes, but drunk people love to talk the most and can't stop talking.
Yang Jinshan said nothing with a smile on his face.
Shang Ke continued: "Lao Yang, it's my fault that I didn't communicate with you so much in the past. If you are dissatisfied with me, you must say it out. Don't keep it in your heart. Don't hurt our harmony.
."
"County Magistrate Shang, how can I have a problem with you? You are overthinking. I came to Liangbei just like you... You know, I left after two years, so I am too lazy to take care of things. This is not for
I'll give you more space to show off your talents..." Yang Jinshan also drank a lot and his eyes were blurry.
"Old Yang, I have two questions in my mind. Of course, I definitely don't have any opinions about you, but I'm just asking. Don't think too much about it," Shang Ke said.
"Yeah, feel free to ask." Yang Jinshan nodded simply.
"Yesterday's team meeting, why did you agree to dismiss Feng Xueliang and investigate?" Shang Ke narrowed his eyes and asked.
Yang Jinshan raised his head and glanced at Shang Ke with a smile, and saw a flash of light in Shang Ke's eyes. Yang Jinshan secretly cursed the drama in his heart, pretending to be drunk on the surface, but acting like a ghost in his heart.
Yang Jinshan said: "County Magistrate Shang, in fact, it is for your own good that I support the dismissal of Feng Xueliang and the investigation. I know you want to protect him, but think about how bad the impact of Feng Xueliang's incident has been. In our Liangbei County, just because of
When the last person in poverty alleviation work has just been named by the province, if you protect Feng Xueliang at this time, you will definitely hit the crater, and even you will be blown upside down by then."
Shang Ke was dumbfounded after hearing this. As for how serious it was, Yang Jinshan's words seemed... to make some sense.
"Old Yang, why do you think He Qingqing is good?" Shang Ke continued to ask.
Yang Jinshan said drunkenly: "It's just not bad, that girl is good."
Damn! This is like not saying anything. Shang Ke's mentality is about to explode. Looking at Yang Jinshan's half-drunk look, he doesn't know if he is pretending or really.
"Old...Old Yang, don't you think He Qingqing is pretty?" Shang Ke asked with a smile while burping from wine.
"Beautiful, um, that girl is nice, very nice, a good girl..." Yang Jinshan continued to answer.
Shang Ke looked straight at Yang Jinshan. Damn it, he seemed to have found the truth. It was very possible that this guy really fell in love with He Qingqing.
Looking at Yang Jinshan's slightly wrinkled face, Shang Ke sneered in his heart, "You are so arrogant but you still have the nerve to think about He Qingqing. It's strange that people can take a liking to you."
Despite the scolding, Shang Ke felt relieved in his heart, as long as Yang Jinshan didn't get involved with Ding Xiaoyun and Qiao Liang.
"Come on, Lao Yang, let's keep drinking. We'll move around more in the future." Shang Ke raised his glass.
"It's easy to talk about..." Yang Jinshan happily picked up the wine glass.
One night, two dinner parties, each with its own agenda.
Qiao Liang was drunk and took a taxi back to the county compound with Ding Xiaoyun. When Ding Xiaoyun got out of the car, she tripped and almost fell. Seeing this, Qiao Liang hurriedly held her arm: "Secretary Ding, you have drunk too much, I will help you.
"
Because the pressure was released and because he was in a good mood, Ding Xiaoyun really drank too much tonight. He shook off Qiao Liang's hand and shook his body: "No, no... no, no, I tell you, let's drink again tonight."
Bottle, I’m okay…”
Qiao Liang wanted to laugh when he heard this, and thought Ding Xiaoyun looked cute at this time.
Ding Xiaoyun took two steps and almost fell down again. Qiao Liang stopped talking nonsense and stepped forward to help Ding Xiaoyun walk.
Drunk people tend to be heavier than usual. Ding Xiaoyun's body was now very heavy. Qiao Liang finally helped her to the dormitory.
Qiao Liang put Ding Xiaoyun on the bed, and Ding Xiaoyun fell asleep immediately. If you want to see more quickly, search the Weixin account "天下一一也一客" and remove the "一" in the middle of the four words.
Seeing that Ding Xiaoyun was in a deep sleep, Qiao Liang took off her shoes and socks, and then went to get a hot towel to wipe her.
After wiping his face, Qiao Liang was about to straighten up. Ding Xiaoyun, who had his eyes closed, suddenly stretched out his arm and hooked Qiao Liang's neck——
