While thinking, Guo Yi smiled and said, "Is County Magistrate Qiao so confident?"
"It's not that I'm confident, but our work has actually achieved results, so we also hope that the provincial newspaper can pay more attention to us, report more on our poverty alleviation work in Liangbei, and encourage our poverty alleviation staff. After all, they It’s also very hard, and at the same time, the provincial newspaper’s report is also a spur to us, don’t you think so, Reporter Guo?” Qiao Liang said.
Seeing that Qiao Liang was so confident, Guo Yi also became interested. Not long ago, Liangbei County was named and criticized at the province's poverty alleviation work conference because it was ranked last. In such a short period of time, how big can Liangbei's poverty alleviation work be? Progress? Either Qiao Liang is a person who exaggerates his work and is very happy with his achievements, or the poverty alleviation work in Liangbei County has really achieved results, which is very different from the past.
In this way, Guo Yi really wanted to go for a run.
"Okay, I'll stay in Liangbei for two more days and go for a walk." Guo Yi's original schedule was to go down to the county bureau after lunch to see if he could interview Feng Zhanming, the director of the county bureau. If the interview is not available, then he will take the bus back to the city in the afternoon, and then take the last flight back to the provincial capital tonight. After listening to Qiao Liang's words, Guo Yi decided to change his itinerary and stay in Liangbei County for two more days. sky.
When the three of them were eating in a small noodle shop, at the same time, at the Liangping Hotel, Shang Ke and Feng Zhanming were also eating in a private room, with Zhao Hongjin accompanying them.
There are sumptuous delicacies on the table, including several rare game dishes on the market, because Shang Ke likes to eat game.
When Shang Ke had just finished eating, he asked Feng Zhanming if there was anything unusual about Qiao Liang these days. Shang Ke was quite disappointed when he received a negative answer from Feng Zhanming.
Halfway through the meal, Shang Ke was still struggling with this issue: "I still think the deputy county magistrate surnamed Qiao is the most suspicious, and he might be the one responsible for this matter."
"But he hasn't been unusual these days. I met him in the county compound yesterday, and he asked me about the traffic accident. I told him that I had already told him, and he kept smiling and said yes. , I didn't see any unusual reaction from him." Feng Zhanming frowned. He didn't quite believe that this was Qiao Liang's fault. His years of service as a police officer made Feng Zhanming habitually believe in evidence. In Feng Zhanming's opinion, there was no evidence. It's all personal speculation.
"Deputy County Magistrate Qiao is a ghost. Who knows if he is acting in front of you." Zhao Hongjin interjected.
"Yes, he is full of evil thoughts." Shang Ke gritted his teeth. He really hated Qiao Liang with all his heart. Although the two of them didn't have any deep hatred, he felt unhappy when he saw Qiao Liang now.
Hearing that both Shang Ke and Zhao Hongjin suspected Qiao Liang, Feng Zhanming remained silent. Although he felt that Qiao Liang might have a motive for doing this, there was no evidence after all.
After a few people finished lunch, they left the hotel by car. Feng Zhanming didn't drive out at noon, so they took a passable car together.
The car passed a traffic light, and when Feng Zhanming saw the people on the roadside, he let out a light sigh.
"Old Feng, what's wrong?" Shang Ke asked.
Feng Zhanming said nothing and looked straight out of the car.
Shang Ke followed Feng Zhanming's gaze and looked out, then saw Qiao Liang, and said angrily: "It's him again. You can bump into him wherever you go. He's really haunting."
"County Magistrate Shang, there is nothing we can do. Our Liangbei County is too small, and everyone works in the same office building. We can't see each other when we look up." Zhao Hongjin shook his head and smiled, "It's hard for us not to meet him."
"No, I'm not looking at County Magistrate Qiao, but the man next to him." Feng Zhanming pointed outside, "If I'm not mistaken, he seems to be the provincial newspaper reporter who wants to interview me."
Although Feng Zhanming had people hold Guo Yi back in the morning and lied about his absence, when Guo Yi left, he looked down from the office window and still saw Guo Yi's appearance and had some impressions.
Feng Zhanming was wondering why the reporter from the provincial newspaper was walking with Qiao Liang, but Shang Ke was furious: "Look, I guessed it right. It was him who did this. Otherwise, how could he have anything to do with the provincial newspaper?" journalists get mixed up?”
"County Magistrate Shang, it's hard to make a conclusion on this matter yet," Feng Zhanming said.
"Old Feng, what's the matter with you? Why do you keep speaking for him?" Shang Ke glared.
"No, I'm just talking about the matter." Feng Zhanming said with a smile, "County Magistrate Shang, there is absolutely no need for me to speak for him, but no matter how much we speculate, there is no evidence."
Shang Ke had a sullen face. Damn it, if there was conclusive evidence, he could immediately propose to convene a team member meeting and approve Qiao Liang at the meeting, making it difficult for Qiao Liang to gain a foothold in Liangbei in the future. After all, if Qiao Liang had to go up for this matter, If he goes out, then Qiao Liang just doesn't care about the overall situation and doesn't follow the rules, which is why the county is so passive now.
Then, Shang Ke glanced at He Qingqing next to Qiao Liang, and his heart moved...
In the afternoon, Qiao Liang was in his office reading the latest documents on poverty alleviation just issued by the city at the end of the year. In the county magistrate's office, which was a few offices away from him, He Qingqing was called to Shang Ke's office.
Every time she came to Shang Ke's office alone, He Qingqing felt apprehensive. Especially when she looked at the closed office door, He Qingqing felt vaguely uneasy, but she didn't dare not come when Shang Ke called her.
"Director He, where did you go at noon? Who did you eat with?" Shang Ke sat on the boss's chair and stared at He Qingqing with an imposing manner.
He Qingqing said "Ah". She thought that Shang Ke called her here alone. She didn't expect it to be like this. She was a little confused for a moment and glanced at Shang Ke in confusion. Damn, how could Shang Ke think of asking this? ?
"Director He, let me ask you a question, what are you looking at?" Shang Ke knocked on the table.
He Qingqing composed herself and said quickly: "County Magistrate Shang, I met Magistrate Qiao in the corridor after work at noon. He felt that the food in the cafeteria was not delicious, so he invited me to go out for lunch, and when we were walking outside, I happened to meet Magistrate Qiao. When reporter Guo from the provincial newspaper arrived, County Magistrate Qiao invited him to have lunch with him, so the three of us went together..."
He Qingqing told the truth about what happened at noon. Now it was Shang Ke's turn to be stunned. He thought he would have to go through some questioning to get He Qingqing to tell the truth. He didn't expect He Qingqing to give up so easily. This made Shang Ke But I was a little stupid, and I felt like something was wrong.
After being stunned for a while, Shang Ke came back to his senses and asked: "Reporter Guo from the provincial newspaper? How do you know the reporter from the provincial newspaper?"
"County Magistrate Shang, this has to start with the last time Director Feng was exposed for gambling in a hotel by a reporter from the provincial newspaper. Didn't Director Feng and others have a conflict with the reporter from the provincial newspaper? Camera, after County Magistrate Qiao learned about this, he took me to the hotel to express condolences to the reporter from the provincial newspaper, whom we met at that time." He Qingqing explained, "We went out for lunch today, and we didn't expect that we would meet again by chance. If we hadn't met him at noon, we wouldn't have known that reporter Guo from the provincial newspaper had come to Liangbei again."
After listening to He Qingqing's explanation, Shang Ke was stunned again. According to He Qingqing, these are all coincidences? Then weren't all his previous guesses wrong?
Is it really not Qiao Liang's fault? Shang Ke's heart is full of doubts and frustration at this moment.
Seeing Shang Ke's gloomy face and silence, He Qingqing said cautiously: "County Magistrate Shang, do you have anything else to do?"
"It's okay." Shang Ke waved his hands feebly.
He Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this and hurriedly left Shang Ke's office.
After He Qingqing left, Shang Ke was in a daze when his cell phone rang. Shang Ke looked at the call number and answered the call.
The call was from the bald man with a scar. As soon as the call was connected, the bald man with a scar said: "Brother, I have already registered the company I mentioned last night, and I have a general plan for the distribution of shares. This is Secretary Yang you mentioned, are you sure he will get involved?"
"So fast?" Shang Ke was startled for a moment, then laughed and scolded, "Bald man, you are so active in making money."
"Of course, people die for money and birds die for food. I am a businessman, so of course I am very active in this aspect." The bald man with a scar said with a smile.
"I thought your driver would surrender today and you would have to stay quiet for two days." Shang Ke said.
"It's not the same thing." The bald scarred man chuckled, "The driver has gone in, I just need to change the driver temporarily. I also made a promise to the original driver and I didn't treat him badly. When the storm is over, I'll get him out."
"Okay, please send me the equity distribution plan first." Shang Ke said.
"Okay, Brother Ke." The bald scarred man nodded.
After the two ended the call, the bald scarred man immediately sent a message to Shang Ke. In it was his expected equity distribution plan. There is no doubt that this plan must be approved by Shang Ke first.
After Shang Ke clicked on the information and read the plan, he nodded secretly. The bald scarred man still knew him well, and this plan would work.
After thinking about it, Shang Ke picked up the internal phone and called Zhao Hongjin in. While showing Zhao Hongjin the equity distribution plan, he whispered instructions to Zhao Hongjin.
Zhao Hongjin nodded repeatedly after hearing this. After he saw how many shares he could get for free in the plan, he became excited. Zhao Hongjin was even more motivated in response to Shang Ke's instructions.
It turned out that Shang Ke had ordered Zhao Hongjin to find Yang Jinshan and be responsible for convincing Yang Jinshan to participate.
Zhao Hongjin was quite confident about this task. He felt that Yang Jinshan had no reason to refuse the free benefits.
After get off work in the afternoon, Qiao Liang was just about to leave the office for dinner when his phone dinged and he received a text message.
Qiao Liang picked up the phone and looked at it, slightly surprised. Then he put away the phone, tidied up his desk, left the office, went downstairs, and drove out of the compound.
Qiao Liang drove to a restaurant in the suburbs, looked around, and muttered, this place was so remote, and to come so far just to have a meal was like a spy meeting.
