The next day, Qiao Liang came to the office early as usual, and first processed several important documents. At around eight o'clock, Qiao Liang arrived at the county hotel, preparing to accompany Su Huaxin to inspect the villages and towns below.
When Qiao Liang arrived, Miao Peilong had already arrived. He came over early to have breakfast with Su Huaxin.
After spending about ten minutes in the hotel, the group set off for the township.
This morning, Su Huaxin mainly inspected the rural revitalization pilot construction in Songbei County. In the afternoon, Su Huaxin will leave to inspect other counties.
Because he knew last night that Su Huaxin and Xu Honggang went out together, and because Qiao Liang also learned from Mayor Guo Xing'an last night that Xu Honggang and Su Huaxin had an alumni relationship, Qiao Liang also felt a little more towards Xu Honggang and Su Huaxin today. Paying attention, as expected, Qiao Liang found that Su Huaxin's attitude towards Xu Honggang was much more cordial than others. This could be seen from the occasional conversations between the two. On the contrary, Su Huaxin's attitude towards Mayor Guo Xing'an was relatively calm.
After careful observation, Qiao Liang even found that Su Huaxin was closer to Miao Peilong than Guo Xing'an, which made Qiao Liang a little confused, especially when he thought that Su Huaxin and Xu Honggang left the hotel alone last night , neither of them are natives of Songbei, and are not familiar with the situation in Songbei. Where would they go quietly at night?
Qiao Liang pondered over his thoughts, and the inspection time passed quickly. Before he knew it, it was noon, and the group had a simple lunch in the countryside.
At this moment, in Songbei County, Xi Lan, who has stayed at the Songbei Hotel for the past two days, is having lunch with her assistant and others in the hotel's Chinese restaurant. Xi Lan's mood does not look good. This morning, she was in Jiangzhou The missing person notice she published in the daily newspaper was no longer visible. I called the people in the advertising department of Jiangzhou Daily and they directly told me that they were no longer willing to publish her missing person notice. At the same time, they simply said that they would withdraw her notice. Even if Xi Lan proposed to increase advertising fees, the other party would not accept it. After saying that the money previously transferred would be refunded through the original channel, he immediately hung up the phone, not even giving Xi Lan a chance to ask what the reason was. Not even given.
When Xi Lan called again, the other party simply refused to answer her call.
The attitudes of newspapers are completely different from before. You must know that with the rise of the Internet, it is becoming increasingly difficult for physical newspapers to generate advertising revenue. For sponsors who can place advertisements in newspapers, newspapers regard them as Ancestors are generally not an exaggeration to pay. Even if Jiangzhou Daily is a public institution, its advertising department also has the task of generating revenue, and its attitude towards customers cannot be bad. Take the last time Xi Lan met someone from the newspaper for the first time. In terms of contact, when people heard that she was going to place an advertisement, they would serve tea and water, and their attitude could not have been more enthusiastic. But now, they don't even answer her phone calls, and even said that the advertising fees will be refunded to her. The contrast between the attitudes before and after. It's really too big.
Something was undoubtedly going on here. Xi Lan immediately thought of Luo Fei, because yesterday morning, Luo Fei knew that she published a missing person notice in Jiangzhou Daily and called her to threaten her. The other party wanted to prevent Jiangzhou Daily from publishing her missing person notice, and it was just a matter of words. Xi Lan had almost concluded in her heart that Luo Fei had done it.
Xi Lan did not give up and contacted Jiangzhou TV station in the morning, saying that she wanted to place an advertisement. When they first saw that she was an advertiser, they were very enthusiastic. But after hearing that she was going to place an advertisement for a missing person notice, the other party asked
After calling her name, she immediately indicated that she would not answer the call and hung up the phone.
When things got to this point, it was obvious that Luo Fei was responsible for this.
Xi Lan was very angry. She didn't believe in evil. She had just contacted people from Jiangdong Daily and wanted to publish a missing person notice in Jiangdong Daily. Xi Lan's idea was very simple. Since Luo Fei stopped her from publishing a missing person notice in Jiangzhou
If there is an announcement, then she will publish it in the provincial newspaper to see what else Luo Fei can do.
Things went smoothly at the beginning. The people in the advertising department of Jiangdong Daily said that there was no problem, and Xi Lan had already paid a deposit. But just now, someone from Jiangdong Daily called her again and said that they could not publish her article.
The missing person notice was issued and the deposit was returned.
Xi Lan almost lost her breath and vomited blood. She still underestimated Luo Fei's energy and did not expect that he could affect the provincial newspaper.
But the more Luo Fei does this, the more Xi Lan gets into trouble with Luo Fei. The more the other party tries so hard to stop her from finding her daughter, the more Xi Lan believes that Luo Fei has something going on in his heart and that the other party definitely knows the whereabouts of his daughter.
At this moment, Xi Lan placed her last hope on Jiangdong Satellite TV. Since Jiangzhou Daily, Jiangdong Daily and Jiangzhou TV Station couldn't work, she would try Jiangdong Satellite TV. Jiangdong Satellite TV is a satellite TV with signal covering the whole country. Advertisements
The cost will be relatively expensive, but Xi Lan is not afraid of spending money now. As long as she can successfully broadcast the missing person notice, she is willing to spend twice as much money.
Xi Lan had just contacted someone from the advertising department of Jiangdong Satellite TV, and the other party also accepted the business. However, Xi Lan was not really relieved at the moment. She was worried that the situation she just encountered at Jiangdong Daily would happen again. Therefore,
At this moment, Xi Lan even seemed a little distracted while eating.
As expected, Xi Lan guessed what happened. While she was eating, her cell phone rang. When she saw that it was the person from the advertising department of Jiangdong TV that she had just contacted, Xi Lan's heart skipped a beat, and she had a vague premonition that something was not good.
Sure enough, after picking up the phone, I heard the other party say, "Mr. Xi, we can't broadcast your missing person notice. I'm really sorry. I'll give you back the deposit you just received."
"Why can't it be broadcast?" Xi Lan suppressed the anger in her heart.
After speaking, Xi Lan found that there was no sound from the other side. She took the phone to her and saw that the person had hung up the phone.
Xi Lan could no longer control the anger in her heart and dialed Luo Fei's phone number.
When the call was connected, Xi Lan said angrily, "Luo Fei, what do you mean? Are Jiangdong Daily and Jiangdong TV the fault of you?"
"What do you think?" Luo Fei sneered. When Xi Lan said this, Luo Fei immediately understood that the other party had contacted people from the provincial newspaper and provincial satellite TV to publish the missing person notice. Luo Fei couldn't help but feel proud.
Fortunately, he thought of it in advance yesterday. Not only did he issue an order in the city, but he also said hello to the relevant persons in charge of the Provincial Daily and the Provincial Satellite TV. Although they are not under his control, it is impossible for others to ignore such a small matter.
He Luo Fei's face.
"Luo Fei, do you think that just because you are the secretary of Jiangzhou City, you can cover the sky with just one hand?" Xi Lan trembled angrily.
"Haha, although I can't cover the sky with just one hand, at least I can tell you that in Jiangzhou City, I have the final say and you can't help but do whatever you want." Luo Fei snorted.
"Okay, let's wait and see." Xi Lan hung up the phone.
Holding the mobile phone, Xi Lan hesitated for a moment, then called Qiao Liang's secretary Fu Minghai.
When the call was connected, Fu Minghai said, "Mr. Xi, what's the matter?"
"Secretary Fu, is County Magistrate Qiao free this afternoon? I want to meet with him," Xi Lan said.
"Let me take a look." Fu Minghai did not reply directly to Xi Lan. He walked to Qiao Liang and asked in a low voice, "County Magistrate, that President Xi wants to see you this afternoon. Do you want to see her?"
After hearing this, Qiao Liang thought that Su Huaxin would leave in the afternoon and he would return to the office at about three or four o'clock, and said, "Okay, you ask her to come to the office at four o'clock."
"Okay." Fu Minghai nodded.
As time passed in the afternoon, Su Huaxin went to other counties, and Qiao Liang and other accompanying county leaders also returned to the county.
Not long after Qiao Liang returned to the office, Xi Lan came over. Qiao Liang looked at the time and stood up with a smile, "Mr. Xi, you came on time."
"County Magistrate Qiao is a busy man, so of course I have to come according to the time you told me, otherwise I'm afraid it will affect your work." Xi Lan said with a smile.
Qiao Liang smiled and asked Xi Lan to sit down. He vaguely guessed what Xi Lan was here for. Before he could ask, Xi Lan said, "County Magistrate Qiao, regarding the honey processing plant project in Linnei Village, we The company has decided to invest, with a preliminary budget of 10 million."
"Okay, okay." Qiao Liang suddenly became happy. The investment of 10 million yuan was far more than the investment scale they calculated for the project. The most important thing is that this project is of great significance to Linnei Village.
"County Magistrate Qiao, we can set a time to sign the contract." Xi Lan laughed, but if you carefully observe her expression at this moment, you can see that Xi Lan's mind is not on this matter.
Qiao Liang nodded, "Let's set a time and hold a grand project signing ceremony."
"County Magistrate Qiao, this is not a big investment for us, so we don't need to hold any grand ceremony." Xi Lan shook his head and smiled.
"No, no, although the investment in this project is not large, it is of great significance and a grand signing ceremony must be held." Qiao Liang said.
Xi Lan nodded, glanced at Qiao Liang, changed the subject, and suddenly asked, "County Magistrate Qiao, is there any news about the matter I asked you to help with yesterday?"
Qiao Liang looked at Xi Lan, and he guessed that Xi Lan came here again today for this matter, but Qiao Liang could understand, after all, it was related to his biological daughter, and anyone would be anxious if it happened to him.
So Qiao Liang called Fu Minghai in, "Xiao Fu, didn't I tell you to let the county bureau investigate what Mr. Xi said yesterday? Are there any results?"
"County Magistrate, someone from the county bureau called me this morning. Regarding the abandoned babies in the park more than 20 years ago that Mr. Xi mentioned, the city bureau has no relevant case files," Fu Minghai replied.
Hearing Fu Minghai's words, Xi Lan's eyes flashed with disappointment.
Qiao Liang saw Xi Lan's disappointed look and was about to comfort Xi Lan. At this time, Tang Xiaofei appeared at the door of Qiao Liang's office, knocked on the door symbolically, and then walked in.
The moment she saw Tang Xiaofei, for some reason, maybe it was some kind of subconscious instinct, maybe it was some unexplainable feeling from the depths of her soul, Xi Lan suddenly opened her eyes wide, and her body couldn't help but Trembling, then stood up suddenly.
"You, you..." Xi Lan pointed at Tang Xiaofei, with a look of disbelief on her face, and almost blurted out, "What is your relationship with Luo Fei?"
