Hong Benjiang spoke with such emotion and grief that Guo Xing'an couldn't help but look at Hong Benjiang a few more times, with an inexplicable look on his face.
Guo Xing'an didn't say much, pointed to a document on the table, sighed and said, "Benjiang, look what's going on. There is a problem in Songjin. Originally, I was planning to recommend you to the province.
I came to serve as the executive deputy mayor, but now I encounter such a thing, how can I recommend it to the province?"
The document Guo Xing'an was referring to was the notification just issued by the city that Song Jindi was subject to review and investigation by the provincial disciplinary department.
Hong Benjiang suddenly raised his head when he heard Guo Xing'an's words. Guo Xing'an planned to recommend him to replace Song Jindi as the executive deputy mayor?
Guo Xing'an glanced at Hong Benjiang, and then said, "Benjiang, now that your brother's case has happened, I will definitely not be able to recommend it to the province. I have to wait until your brother's case is investigated clearly, and we will see what happens next.
."
Hong Benjiang was dumbfounded and didn't speak, his hatred for Qiao Liang further rising in his heart. Damn it, Qiao Liang, the bastard, instructed the disciplinary department to investigate his brother, and at the same time influenced his transfer to a more important position.
As the city secretary-general, although Hong Benjiang is also the leader of the city team, the only departments he directly manages are commissions and offices. In most cases, he serves as the top 'spokesperson' to coordinate and handle matters, passing them on and off. He mainly does service work, and has relatively little power.
The executive deputy mayor is different. Not only does he have more real power, but he can also be directly promoted to the top of the municipal government. If Hong Benjiang had a choice, he would naturally be more willing to serve as the executive deputy mayor. However, at this juncture, he is in trouble.
He went to Qiao Liang to investigate his brother, Nima. This matter was obviously going to be messed up, and Hong Benjiang felt very resentful.
After a brief absence, Hong Benjiang calmed down and said, "Secretary Guo, originally the Daguan County Disciplinary Department was performing its duties and I shouldn't have said anything more, but my brother Hong Huasheng may have offended Comrade Qiao Liang before.
, I am mainly worried about whether Comrade Qiao Liang will use public power to express his private anger."
Hong Benjiang observed Guo Xing'an's expression as he spoke, and soon pretended to be panicked and said, "Of course, what I said may be purely my personal conjecture, which is a bit irresponsible."
Guo Xing'an said calmly, "Benjiang, your reaction is normal. I understand you. After all, he is my own brother. As the ancients said, family love is the most powerful thing. I can understand your feelings. Regarding your brother,
If you think there is any misunderstanding between you and Comrade Qiao Liang, then you should communicate more with Comrade Qiao Liang. After all, this is a case under the jurisdiction of Daguan County, and Comrade Qiao Liang has great discretion."
Hearing Guo Xing'an's words, Hong Benjiang was thoughtful.
Guo Xing'an looked at the time and said, "Benjiang, I have to go to the province for a while. I will leave soon. If there is any misunderstanding about your brother, you have to take the initiative to communicate with Qiao Liangduo."
."
Hong Benjiang stood up and said, "Secretary Guo, then I won't waste your time."
Hong Benjiang left Guo Xing'an's office. Behind him, Guo Xing'an looked at Hong Benjiang's back with a somewhat meaningful look.
"This old fox Guo Xing'an wants me to fight Qiao Liang." Hong Benjiang returned to his office and this idea immediately came to his mind.
Old and cunning! Hong Benjiang looked gloomy and cursed Guo Xingan in his heart. The other party seemed to trust him, but he also did not miss every opportunity to take advantage of him.
Thinking about some of the things he had in his hands, Hong Benjiang's face changed uncertainly. If he used it to threaten Guo Xing'an at this time and asked Guo Xing'an to put pressure on Qiao Liang... Hong Benjiang thought silently. After weighing it repeatedly, Hong Benjiang finally sighed.
Tone, good steel must be used on the blade, you can't take it out now!
In the county, Qiao Liang received a call from Lu Hongyun just before noon, asking him to have lunch together. Qiao Liang agreed without even thinking about it. He originally wanted to talk to Lu Hongyun face to face about last night's events.
When they arrived at the hotel, Lu Hongyun was already waiting in the private room. Qiao Liang looked at Lu Hongyun a few times and said something thoughtful, "Is Mr. Lu okay?"
Lu Hongyun smiled and said, "Of course I'm fine. Thank you Secretary Qiao for your concern."
Lu Hongyun said and handed the menu to Qiao Liang, "Secretary Qiao, what do you like to eat?"
Qiao Liang pouted and took the menu away, "Mr. Lu, don't be in a hurry to eat. Mr. Lu doesn't seem to have given me a real explanation for what happened last night."
Lu Hongyun asked doubtfully, "Secretary Qiao, what explanation do you want?"
Qiao Liang frowned, "Mr. Lu, are you sure you weren't kidnapped last night?"
Lu Hongyun smiled and said, "Secretary Qiao, it's not true. A friend of mine in the business field made a little joke to me last night. He mainly wanted to ask me out for a chat, because I never answered his calls, so
He just invited me over in a special way. It's not kidnapping, just a misunderstanding."
Qiao Liang looked at Lu Hongyun, "Really?"
Lu Hongyun smiled and nodded, "What else would Secretary Qiao think it is? It's actually not as complicated as Secretary Qiao thinks."
Qiao Liang asked, "I remember Mr. Lu said last night that he wanted to invite me to a good show. The group of people following you, if I remember correctly, Mr. Lu said they were sent by Duan Jue to follow you?
"
Lu Hongyun nodded, "I said that at the time, but it was just my guess. Facts have proved that I was wrong."
Qiao Liang stared at Lu Hongyun, "Mr. Lu, why do I feel that what you said is a bit insincere? Mr. Lu makes me feel like I am being threatened."

Lu Hongyun smiled and said, "Secretary Qiao, that may be your illusion."
After Lu Hongyun finished speaking, she said apologetically, "I was blamed for what happened last night. Secretary Qiao got a stick for no reason. Fortunately, nothing happened to you, otherwise my conscience would be uneasy."
Qiao Liang touched the back of his head and said, "It doesn't matter if you get hit with a sap. What scares you most is being beaten and being treated like a monkey."
Lu Hongyun smiled and said, "Secretary Qiao's words are serious. Who dares to treat you like a monkey?"
Qiao Liang looked sternly, "Mr. Lu invited me to dinner last night. What did you want to talk to me about?"
Lu Hongyun smiled and said, "Secretary Qiao, I just asked you to have dinner alone last night. There really is nothing to talk about."
Qiao Liang asked, "Mr. Lu has nothing to say about land A001?"
Lu Hongyun said, "Secretary Qiao, I provided clues before, isn't your disciplinary department already investigating?"
Qiao Liang frowned and said, "The manager of the real estate company you mentioned before has suddenly changed his story and said that the testimony he provided before was all fabricated and made up by himself."
Lu Hongyun said in surprise, "Is there such a thing? Secretary Qiao, if I hadn't heard you talk about it now, I really wouldn't have known about it."
Qiao Liang looked at Lu Hongyun with burning eyes, "Mr. Lu, from the very beginning, you reported that there were problems in the bidding process for plot A001. I said there was no evidence, but you still refused to give up. Now the case has entered the investigation process.
Well, you are backing out."
Lu Hongyun shrugged, "Secretary Qiao, it's not that I backed down, but that I have provided all the evidence I can provide. If nothing can be found now, then there is nothing I can do. Maybe I was angry before.
I got carried away, so I thought there was something wrong with the land bidding process."
Qiao Liang looked at Lu Hongyun speechlessly, "Is it that simple?"
Lu Hongyun blinked, "What else?"
Qiao Liang was completely speechless by Lu Hongyun at this time. He knew clearly that Lu Hongyun was not telling the truth, but Lu Hongyun pretended to be confused and kept talking to him. He could not force the other party to say anything.
While Qiao Liang and Lu Hongyun were having dinner, Peng Baiquan, who was far away in Huashan County, a suburban county under the jurisdiction of Huangyuan City. A few days ago, Peng Baiquan, who was transferred to Huashan County as the director of the county bureau, thought about it in his office and submitted a letter to the provincial government.
Feng Yunming, executive deputy director of the Organization Department, made a phone call.
Hotel box.
Qiao Liang stared at Lu Hongyun, "Mr. Lu, you have always insisted that there is a problem with the land bidding. Now our relevant departments have launched an investigation into this and invested manpower and material resources. Now that you are doing this again, Mr. Lu will turn our relevant departments into
Is your credibility a trifle?”
Lu Hongyun shook her head hurriedly and said, "Secretary Qiao, please don't say that. I can't bear such responsibility. I did lose the auction before, so I was carried away by anger. Some of my words and deeds were inappropriate. Without conclusive evidence, I
I made random assumptions under the circumstances, and I ask Secretary Qiao’s forgiveness.”
Qiao Liang said expressionlessly, "Mr. Lu, in this case, we will ignore any questions about the bidding of land A001. Don't say that we didn't do anything when Mr. Lu arrives."
Lu Hongyun smiled bitterly and said, "Secretary Qiao said something serious. How could I, a weak woman, dare to say such a thing? In fact, I have to thank you, Secretary Qiao, for taking the words of a commoner like me into consideration. To be honest with you, I told Secretary Qiao that you
When I reported the land bidding issue, I didn’t expect that Secretary Qiao would take my words, a common man’s words, seriously.”
Qiao Liang looked at Lu Hongyun funny, "Mr. Lu, are you sure that you are really just a common man?"
Lu Hongyun said, "What am I if I'm not a common man?"
Qiao Liang took a deep look at Lu Hongyun and said, "Mr. Lu thinks it is."
In the following time, although Qiao Liang continued to test Lu Hongyun, Lu Hongyun always insisted that what happened last night was a joke played on her by her friends and that she was not kidnapped.
Faced with such a result, Qiao Liang was helpless.
After eating, Qiao Liang left directly, went back to the office to arrange things for the afternoon, and then took the car to Huangyuan.
Qiao Liang is a person who works vigorously and resolutely. He made up his mind to replace Lu Changming resolutely in the morning and did not intend to delay it any longer. At around 10 o'clock in the morning, he contacted Zheng Guohong's secretary Zhang Shangwen and inquired about Zheng Guohong.
During the afternoon trip, I learned that Zheng Guohong would be free at three or four in the afternoon, so I immediately decided to take a trip to Huangyuan in the afternoon.
On the way to Huangyuan in the car, Qiao Liang recalled the process of having dinner with Lu Hongyun at noon, and fell into deep thought again. Although he told Lu Hongyun that he would ignore the matter in the future, he was just using it against Lu Hongyun.
Although he tried to provoke the general, he still couldn't get Lu Hongyun to say anything.
