Qiao Liang hung up the phone and said to the third child: "Lao San, I will go away for a while and come back later to continue drinking with you."
"Okay, you go ahead." The third child nodded, knowing that the call Qiao Liang just answered must be about something.
Qiao Liang came to the tea restaurant on the second floor, where Liu Ying was already waiting. The two found a small box. After sitting down, Qiao Liang looked at Liu Ying calmly: "Mr. Liu is looking for me. What advice can you give me?"
"If you don't take it seriously, County Magistrate Qiao doesn't have to look at me so warily." Liu Ying said calmly, "I already told you that the last time you were arrested in our hotel had nothing to do with me. Don't Magistrate Qiao still believe?"
"It's all over. It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. Do you think so?" Qiao Liang asked.
"Yes." Liu Ying nodded.
Both of them were silent for a moment. Qiao Liang was undoubtedly a little wary of Liu Ying. Although Liu Ying made a special trip to Liangbei to explain what happened last time, Qiao Liang believed it to a certain extent in her heart, but Liu Ying After all, the monk is a fellow traveler, and it is impossible for Qiao Liang to completely trust him.
After a moment, Liu Ying said: "County Magistrate Qiao, I saw in the newspaper that you want to build a special education school in Liangbei?"
"Well, that's true." Qiao Liang nodded.
"Then I would like to donate five million on behalf of Hongzhan Group. Does County Magistrate Qiao have any objection?" Liu Ying said.
"Ah?" Qiao Liang looked at the other party in surprise. The other party actually wanted to donate money. How could Qiao Liang have any objection to such a good thing?
Worried that Liu Ying was joking, Qiao Liang quickly asked: "Is Mr. Liu telling the truth?"
"Of course it is true. It is an honor for me to be able to contribute to children with disabilities. Besides, as a well-known private enterprise, our Hongzhan Group should also assume certain social responsibilities." Liu Ying said.
"I didn't expect Mr. Liu to have such a high level of consciousness. On behalf of the disabled children in Liangbei County, I would like to thank Mr. Liu," Qiao Liang said seriously, and his impression of Liu Ying suddenly improved a lot.
"County Magistrate Qiao, I will donate money to you. I wonder if Magistrate Qiao can agree to a condition?" Liu Ying said suddenly.
Hearing Liu Ying's words, Qiao Liang was startled, then suddenly realized, thinking that this was normal, otherwise why would Liu Ying want to donate to the special education school in Liangbei for no reason? The other party really had conditions.
Thinking about it, Qiao Liang asked: "What are the conditions?"
"It's very simple. I hope County Magistrate Qiao can help me make arrangements. I want to see Secretary Liao," Liu Ying said.
"That's it?" Qiao Liang looked at Liu Ying suspiciously.
"Yes." Liu Ying nodded affirmatively.
"Mr. Liu, it shouldn't be difficult for you to meet Secretary Liao, right? Ordinary people may not be able to meet Secretary Liao, but your Hongzhan Group is a well-known private enterprise in the province, and you, Mr. Liu, are the president of Hongzhan Group. Do you want to meet him?" Secretary Liao, I believe you must have your own way, why go through me?" Qiao Liang looked at Liu Ying with a scrutinizing gaze.
"Don't be suspicious, County Magistrate Qiao. The reason why I want to do this through Magistrate Qiao is, first of all, because I'm worried that Secretary Liao doesn't want to see me. You also know that my dad openly smeared Secretary Liao on a TV show before, so I'm worried that Secretary Liao has a prejudice against our Hongzhan Group and doesn't want to see me; secondly, as County Magistrate Qiao said, I do have a way to meet Secretary Liao through formal channels, but that will definitely alarm other people, and I don't want to Let others know."
"Who are the other people you are talking about?" Qiao Liang asked.
"Why did County Magistrate Qiao ask questions knowingly?" Liu Ying said.
"I really don't know." Qiao Liang shook his head.
Liu Ying was silent for a moment: "Liu Changxing."
Qiao Liang couldn't help but feel surprised. Didn't Hongzhan Group have a close relationship with Liu Changxing? Liu Ying wanted to meet Liao Gufeng, but she wanted to hide it from Liu Changxing!
Glancing at Liu Ying thoughtfully, Qiao Liang thought to himself that some things are not just what they seem on the surface.
After thinking about it, Qiao Liang asked again: "How can Mr. Liu be sure that I can help you arrange a meeting with Secretary Liao? I am just a small deputy county magistrate."
"I've often seen reports about County Magistrate Qiao in the provincial newspaper recently. I'm afraid an ordinary deputy county magistrate is not qualified to be regularly publicized by the provincial newspaper, right?" Liu Ying smiled slightly, "I think there must be someone above. In addition to the instructions from the leader, and I noticed that County Magistrate Qiao came from Jiangzhou and Secretary Liao was also transferred from Jiangdong Province, I think you two should have some special relationship."
Speaking of this, Qiao Liang couldn't deny anything anymore, and he didn't want to miss Liu Ying's five million donation, so he couldn't help but said: "Mr. Liu, I can try to help you, but is Secretary Liao willing to see you?" , but it’s not up to me to decide, and regardless of whether it succeeds or not, Mr. Liu will have to donate the five million."
"Okay." Liu Ying readily agreed. In fact, even if Qiao Liang did not agree, Liu Ying would still donate the five million. Liu Ying had always felt guilty about what her father had done, and she hoped to make up for it by doing some charity. My father's previous mistakes.
After the two talked about business, the atmosphere became much more relaxed. Through this incident, Qiao Liang realized that the relationship between Liu Ying and Liu Changxing, Shang Ke, might not be what he thought, which made him feel at ease with Liu Ying. A different view than before.
After chatting for a while, Qiao Liang asked casually: "Mr. Liu made a special trip to Liangbei just for this matter?"
"It's not all about this. I also want to go to the iron mine and want to meet the people from the investigation team." Liu Ying said.
"Oh?" Qiao Liang was startled and looked at Liu Ying.
"People from the investigation team went to the province to find me yesterday and said they wanted to ask me a few questions, but for some reason they couldn't talk, so I thought about taking the initiative to come today." Liu Ying explained.
Qiao Liang was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect Liu Ying to come to Liangbei for this matter.
The two sat for a while, because they were not familiar with each other and didn't have much to talk about. Liu Ying got up first and prepared to say goodbye and go back to the room.
Seeing this, Qiao Liang also stood up: "Mr. Liu, while you are still in Liangbei, how about we hold a donation ceremony tomorrow?"
"This...it's not necessary." Liu Ying hesitated for a moment, then shook her head.
"Mr. Liu, I think it is necessary for Hongzhan Group to donate money for charity. This is a good thing. Even if Mr. Liu does not think about himself, he has to think about the group. Something like this is good for the positive image of the group. Mr. Liu You shouldn't refuse." Qiao Liang said with a smile, "Of course, I do this for selfish reasons. Mr. Liu's initiative to donate this time also inspired me. I had to risk my skin to run this special education school before. When I asked for money, the city and the province all ran away, but I ignored the social force. Like many places, it is very common for social forces to donate to support education. Let's hold a grand donation ceremony this time, maybe it can have a great impact. As for the good publicity effect, it would be even better if it can inspire some local entrepreneurs to donate."
Hearing what Qiao Liang said, Liu Ying couldn't refuse, so she nodded and said, "Then let's do what County Magistrate Qiao wants."
"Okay, I'll make the arrangements later, and we'll start it tomorrow morning, so it won't waste Mr. Liu too much time." Qiao Liang said with a smile on his face.
Liu Ying nodded slightly, glanced at Qiao Liang, and suddenly said: "Isn't it possible that County Magistrate Qiao is afraid that I will regret it, so he wants to hold a donation ceremony first so that I will be embarrassed to break my promise?"
"Ahem, Mr. Liu, it's not what you think, it's pure conjecture." Qiao Liang smiled dryly, feeling embarrassed that his little thoughts had been discovered. He wanted to hold a donation ceremony, except that he just mentioned That said, there is indeed some thought in it.
Seeing Qiao Liang's reaction, Liu Ying shook her head in amusement. She didn't expect Qiao Liang to have such a side, and suddenly felt that Qiao Liang was quite interesting.
The two of them left separately. After Qiao Liang returned to Lao San's room, he continued to drink with Lao San. At the same time, he took out his mobile phone and called Ding Yongxing, the director of the Education Bureau: "Bureau Ding, please prepare overnight and arrange the venue. Hongzhan Group We want to donate five million to help us build a special education school in Liangbei, and we will hold a grand donation ceremony tomorrow morning."
"Ah?" Ding Yongxing exclaimed, he didn't expect such a good thing. This is probably the largest single donation ever received by the Liangbei County education system.
Ding Yongxing was pleasantly surprised for a moment, and asked in disbelief: "County Magistrate Qiao, is this true?"
"Of course it's true. Your task now is to prepare the venue that will be used tomorrow morning. It must be well arranged. Then we will use this matter to promote it." Qiao Liang said.
"Okay, I will definitely complete the task. Even if I don't sleep at night, I will make sure to do it well." Ding Yongxing said happily.
After hanging up the phone, Qiao Liang was in a happy mood. He picked up the wine glass and said to the third child: "Come on, third child. You are such a lucky star. Good things will come to you as soon as you come."
"Haha, you know what I know, okay? Maybe you can really borrow my good advice and become the mayor in the future." The third child smiled.
The two of them were talking and laughing, because they had business tomorrow, and Qiao Liang did not dare to drink too much at night for fear of delaying the business.
While Qiao Liang and Lao San were drinking, in another room of the hotel, three adult men who looked not very friendly were sitting in a room, facing each other and talking about something unknown. There was an ashtray on the table. Inside, the ashtray was filled with cigarette butts packed into a hill.
The three of them seemed to be arguing. Two of them stared at each other, and it seemed that no one could convince the other.
"Brother Mouse, tell me, shall we do it?" One of them looked at the silent man in the middle and asked with a pale face.
"It must be done, otherwise what would we be doing here?" The man named Brother Mouse took a puff of cigarette and said calmly.
"Brother Mouse, what I mean is that we should do it right away." The man who just spoke said again.
"Take it easy for now, we've all followed you here, don't be in a hurry for a while." Brother Mouse shook his head.
"Wait a minute, how long do we have to wait?" The man slapped the table anxiously, "If I miss this opportunity, I will not work as a security guard again at Hongzhan Group."
"Don't worry, you definitely don't have to go back." Brother Mouse curled his lips, put out the cigarette butt, leaned forward, and waved to the two of them.
Seeing this, the other two people also moved forward.
Who are these three people? What do they want to do?
