In the box, Qiao Liang, who still didn't know what happened, saw that Lu Yu had just finished the phone call and couldn't help but ask, "Where is Director Zhang now?"
"Director Zhang has left first. He said that Director Zhou called him and asked him to go home. He will come with Director Zhou later." Lu Yucai curled his lips and finished the phone call with Zhang Baoqing. I always feel like something is weird.
When Qiao Liang heard that Zhang Baoqing had left, she couldn't believe it, "Director Zhang is really gone?"
"No." Lu Yucai smiled bitterly and complained a little dissatisfiedly, "It's so unreliable. He didn't even say hello and asked us to sit in the box and wait."
Lu Yucai said, looking at the food that had been served on the table, smacking his lips and saying, "We were asked to ask the waiter to serve the food in advance. It's good now, there is no one there."
Qiao Liang didn't say anything. Not to mention Lu Yucai, even he felt a little weird, something seemed wrong.
"County Magistrate Qiao, why do I feel a little strange?" Lu Yucai said.
"Well, it's a bit weird." Qiao Liang nodded.
"Then what should we do now? Keep waiting? Director Zhang said he would come over with Director Zhou later, and I don't know if he will let us go." Lu Yucai frowned.
"The wine has been ordered and the food has been served. Now we can only wait for them to come over. You can call them later and ask them." Qiao Liang said.
"That's the only way." Lu Yucai nodded.
The two of them were talking about Hua, when suddenly there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, and then a group of people pushed the door open and walked into the box. Some even took photos of the food and wine on the table with their cameras.
Seeing this, Qiao Liang frowned and stood up, "Who are you?"
Lu Yucai rushed towards the person taking the photo and shouted, "What are you taking? Who asked you to take it?"
Lu Yucai said that he wanted to snatch the camera from the other person's hand. Although he didn't know who the other person was, his subconscious reaction was that he couldn't let the other person take pictures.
The other party pushed Lu Yucai, and the people next to him rushed over and pushed Lu Yucai away, yelling, "Stop, we are from the provincial disciplinary department."
Provincial disciplinary department? Upon hearing this, Lu Yucai was stunned and his eyes widened.
Qiao Liang was also stunned. He didn't expect these people to come from the provincial disciplinary department. For a moment, Qiao Liang was a little distracted.
"Take photos and keep them, and make records." The leader stood up and said, looking at Qiao Liang and Lu Yucai with a stern expression, "Which department are you from? You are so brave. The province has repeatedly issued strict orders to strictly prohibit illegal eating, drinking, extravagance and waste, so you are better off. , it’s Maotai and there’s a seafood feast, braving the wind is simply ignoring the provincial ban.”
Hearing what the other party said, a bright light flashed through Qiao Liang's mind, and he suddenly realized, damn, they were being tricked! Tonight was a trap that was set up in advance, just waiting to trick them!
At this time, people from the disciplinary department came up to register the identities of Qiao Liang and Lu Yucai. Qiao Liang ignored them and asked with wide eyes, "I want to ask, who reported us?"
"Who reported it? We don't need to tell you. We have our confidentiality regulations. Why, do you still want to take revenge on others?" The leader looked at Qiao Liang coldly and pointed at the Moutai and rare seafood on the table. , said seriously, "You are so extravagant and lustful, just wait to be informed."
Qiao Liang's expression was gloomy. At this time, Qiao Liang was sure that they had been tricked by someone, and Director Zhang was definitely one of the people involved.
It's just that Qiao Liang can't figure it out anyway. He and Director Zhang were strangers to each other before today, and there was no grudge between them. Why would the other party set up a trap to frame him?
At this time, people from the disciplinary department came forward to register the identities of Qiao Liang and Lu Yucai. Lu Yucai looked at Qiao Liang in fear, not knowing what to do.
Qiao Liang calmed down and cooperated with the people in the disciplinary department to register and truthfully reported his unit and position. Lu Yucai's face turned pale when he saw this, so he could only cooperate honestly.
The people in the disciplinary department were a little surprised to see that the two were cadres from Songbei. They thought they were from some agency in the province, but they did not expect that they came from the county below.
After registering, the people from the disciplinary department left. Because Qiao Liang and Lu Yucai were only suspected of illegal eating and drinking, they would not be taken away. However, what awaits Qiao Liang and Lu Yucai next is that they will undoubtedly be notified and criticized throughout the province. This will be a fatal blow to the career prospects of Qiao Liang and Lu Yucai, especially for young and promising cadres like Qiao Liang. Once they are publicly criticized by the province, their future prospects will be cast into a huge cloud. shadow.
"County Magistrate Qiao, what should we do now? It's over, it's over, we're done." After Lu Yucai waited for the people from the disciplinary department to leave, he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
"Director Lu, don't you think this is strange?" Qiao Liang looked at Lu Yucai.
Lu Yucai was stunned when he heard this. To say that this was strange, Lu Yucai did find it strange. However, Lu Yucai felt more panic and fear at this moment, and had no intention of thinking about anything else.
"I'm afraid what happened tonight has something to do with Director Zhang. He probably set up a trap to deceive us." Qiao Liang gritted his teeth.
"Director Zhang?" Lu Yucai was stunned. After he came to his senses, Lu Yucai thought carefully. Zhang Baoqing was indeed the biggest suspect, especially since his behavior tonight was very abnormal. He just came to sit down and immediately went to the toilet. Because he disappeared, it was said that Director Zhou called him over, but not long after he left, someone from the disciplinary department came by chance. No one believed that Zhang Baoqing was not suspected.
Lu Yucai believed Qiao Liang's speculation in his heart, but he was very puzzled and said, "County Chief Qiao, why is this? We have no worries and complaints with Director Zhang. Even if he doesn't want to help us, he won't As for harming us, that doesn’t make sense.”
"Maybe I should ask you." Qiao Liang looked at Lu Yucai, "You said you knew Director Zhang before. Then think carefully about whether you have offended him before."
"County Chief Qiao, it's impossible. I can guarantee that I have never offended Director Zhang. He is the deputy director of the department. I am just a small education director in the county below. It is too late to curry favor with him. How can I offend him? Besides, usually he is in the province and I am in the county, so there is nothing I can do to offend him. I have no chance to offend him." Lu Yucai shook his head repeatedly, assuring with certainty that he had never offended Zhang Baoqing.
"If you think about it again, are you sure?" Qiao Liang frowned.
"County Magistrate Qiao, it's really not true. I use my head as a guarantee that I have never offended that director Zhang." Lu Yucai said.
"That's weird." Qiao Liang frowned. If Lu Yucai had no conflicts with the other party, then why did the other party set up a trap to deceive them? This matter is a bit hard to explain.
Qiao Liang was thinking, and Lu Yucai said with a worried look, "County Magistrate Qiao, what do you think we should do? Once the disciplinary department publicly notifies us, the city will probably impose additional sanctions on us."
Lu Yucai's words brought Qiao Liang back to his senses. He naturally knew the seriousness of the problem. At this moment, Qiao Liang had no intention of thinking about why Zhang Baoqing set up a trap to trap them. The top priority was to solve their problem. He must rush to the disciplinary department to deal with it. They suppress the matter before reporting and criticizing.
After pondering for a long time, Qiao Liang took out his cell phone and walked out, "I'm going out to make a call."
Qiao Liang came to the corridor and called An Zhe.
The call was connected, and An Zhe on the other end said, "Liang Zi, why did you remember to call me tonight?"
"Boss, look at what you said. Isn't it normal for me to call you? You have gone to the northwest. It is not easy for me to see you now. No, I am thinking of you, so I called you." Qiao Liang laughed and laughed. After saying this, Qiao Liang wiped the sweat from his forehead. Now he has learned bad habits and tells lies whenever he opens his mouth.
An Zhe said, "I guess you have a conscience."
Qiao Liang smiled dryly and said, "Boss, actually I'm calling you because I have one more thing to do."
"I knew something must be wrong with you, kid." Anzhe snorted softly, and then said, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
"Boss, I may have been tricked by someone tonight." Qiao Liang said.
"What's going on?" Anzhe said calmly.
"Boss, this is what happened..." Qiao Liang then told An Zhe roughly what happened tonight.
An Zhe's expression softened slightly after hearing this. It turned out that it was just a matter of illegal eating and drinking, which was not a big problem. However, An Zhe did not relax because of this. He thought for a moment and said, "Liang Zi, I don't know if you have any grudges with the other party, but you If you say someone is setting up a trap to deceive you, if you can't provide evidence, the people in the disciplinary department won't believe you, and you have to understand this."
"Boss, I understand. I just thought of looking for you because I couldn't prove my innocence. Otherwise, I would have directly confronted the people from the disciplinary department just now." Qiao Liang said helplessly.
An Zhe said slowly: "Liangzi, your matter does not seem very serious, but it is not that simple to deal with. I can help you with this matter, but it is not appropriate for me to come forward. I have great feelings for the person in the provincial disciplinary department." Understand, only greeting Secretary Zheng will work. It is not very appropriate for me to talk to Secretary Zheng in my capacity. You can directly contact Secretary Liao about this matter, he can help you, and it is not difficult for Secretary Liao. "
Hearing this, Qiao Liang said helplessly, "It seems that I have to ask Secretary Liao for help in the end."
An Zhe said: "Your kid has annoyed him a lot in the past. This matter may not be big or small, but if you don't deal with it in time, it will still be quite serious. If you should be brave, you have to be brave." So, you need to call Secretary Liao immediately."
"Okay, then I'll call Secretary Liao right now." Qiao Liang smiled bitterly. He knew that An Zhe would definitely help him if he could, but since An Zhe said that Liao Gufeng was more appropriate, he could only call Liao Gufeng, and What An Zhe said was correct. To talk to Secretary Zheng, only Liao Gufeng was qualified.
After talking to An Zhe for a few words, Qiao Liang hung up the phone, thought about it, gritted his teeth and called Liao Gufeng...
