Qiao Liang looked forward and saw that the road had turned into a vegetable market. The stalls were almost in the middle of the road. Vendors were shouting one after another. There was an endless stream of people buying things. Several buses coming out of the station were stuck there and honking their horns desperately.
"Go down and have a look." An Zhe opened the car door and Qiao Liang hurriedly followed.
Anzhe walked up to the bus, and the driver was honking his horn and muttering curses.
"Master, is it always so congested here?" Anzhe raised his face and asked the driver loudly.
"Where is it? In the past, the city management came here every day, and the entry and exit were smooth. But recently, no one suddenly stopped taking care of it. The traffic jam lasted from morning to night. It makes me very angry." The driver said angrily.
An Zhe frowned: "This will delay the departure of the car."
"Who says it's not the case? If the bus is late, we will be fined, and the passengers will be delayed even more." The driver said helplessly.
"Why didn't the urban management come to take care of it?" An Zhe said.
"I heard that it was because the urban management officials were brutally enforcing the law a few days ago. They were severely criticized by the new County Magistrate Zhang and asked them to rectify the situation. This rectification is a good thing and they just let go and do nothing."
"Could it be that they didn't straighten things out?" An Zhe asked.
"It seems like your brother is a sensible person." The driver gave Anzhe a thumbs up, "I have a relative who works as a secretary in the Urban Management Bureau office. I met him yesterday and asked about this, and he said it's all a mess.
The director just asked everyone to be more relaxed in the future, saying that the deputy county magistrate in charge didn't care about this matter, so naturally they had no pressure..."
Qiao Liang understood it as soon as he heard it. Damn it, Zhang Lin asked Ding Lei to rectify his style. This move directly went from one extreme to the other.
Obviously, Ding Lei and the urban management director are both responsible for this.
Obviously, Zhang Lin doesn't know about this yet.
An Zhe turned around and left, and Qiao Liang hurriedly followed.
After walking to a quieter place, An Zhe said to Qiao Liang: "Call Zhang Lin and ask her to come with the county magistrate and urban management director."
Qiao Liang did not dare to neglect and hurriedly called Zhang Lin and got through immediately.
"Qiao Liang, why did you call me so early?" Zhang Lin's voice was a little surprised.
"County Magistrate Zhang, Secretary An and I are at the market near the long-distance bus station. Secretary An asked you to bring the county magistrate and urban management director in charge of urban management over." Qiao Liang said in a businesslike tone.
As soon as Zhang Lin heard this, she immediately realized that something was wrong. Without asking any more questions, she hurriedly said, "I'll call them over right now."
Qiao Liang then hung up the phone. An Zhe pointed to the breakfast stall next to him: "I think the road won't be accessible for a while. Let's go have breakfast first."
Qiao Liang and An Zhe went to the breakfast stall, while Zhao Qiang was waiting in the car.
Qiao Liang ordered two portions of Sanjiang's special breakfast and ate it with Anzhe. While eating, Anzhe said, "This porridge tastes good. Is it also unique to Sanjiang?"
"Yes." Qiao Liang nodded, "I grew up drinking this when I was a child."
An Zhe nodded and said to himself: "There are people on one side of the world..."
Qiao Liang blinked, wondering what An Zhe meant by his words.
After breakfast, An Zhe and Qiao Liang came out. The traffic jam became even worse, and Zhao Qiang's car was now unable to move forward or retreat.
An Zhe looked at the chaotic and crowded scene in front of him and frowned: "Nonsense, it's just nonsense!"
Seeing An Zhe's dissatisfied look, Qiao Liang suddenly felt worried about Zhang Lin.
After a while, Zhang Lin, Ding Lei and the urban management director came over panting.
"County Magistrate Zhang, look at the scene in front of you, isn't it very lively?" An Zhe pointed with a sarcastic taste.
Zhang Lin looked embarrassed, then she looked at Ding Lei and the urban management director and said angrily: "What's going on? Isn't it for you to rectify your style? How did it get to this point?"
Both Ding Lei and the urban management director became nervous. Ding Lei glared at the urban management director: "What happened? You have seriously neglected your duty."
The urban management chief panicked: "County Chief Ding, I, I..."
The urban management director was in trouble and couldn't tell. After what happened last time, Ding Lei said it in front of Zhang Lin, but he didn't ask about it at all. Seeing that Ding Lei didn't take it seriously, he relaxed and just told the people below him about it in the future.
Management shouldn't be so strict. I didn't expect that after hearing this, I simply ignored it.
Ding Lei then nodded and bowed to An Zhe: "Secretary An, I will arrange someone right now..."
"Are you the county magistrate in charge?" An Zhe interrupted Ding Lei and looked at him with a stern look.
"Yes, yes, Secretary An, my name is Ding Lei, you can call me Xiao Ding." Ding Lei continued to nod and bow.
An Zhe said unceremoniously: "County Magistrate Ding, I think you, the person in charge, have also seriously neglected your duties."
Qiao Liang immediately realized that with An Zhe's status, he could directly reprimand county-level cadres, but it was not convenient for him to go beyond the level and question department-level cadres.
Hearing what An Zhe said, Ding Lei began to sweat on his forehead. Emma, it is not a good thing to be criticized by the newly appointed secretary of the municipal party committee. He will leave a bad impression on himself.
An Zhe then looked at Zhang Lin: "County Magistrate Zhang, if you stay here to deal with this matter now, you can't even guarantee the minimum order of public transportation. How can you talk about city management?"
Zhang Lin nodded hurriedly.
Then An Zhe turned around and left with his hands behind his back. Qiao Liang hurriedly went over and told Zhao Qiang to go straight back to the guest house after clearing the situation, and then caught up with An Zhe.
Zhang Lin rushed over at this time: "Secretary An, my car is parked outside. You can take my car back."
"No, I'll walk back." An Zhe didn't look back.
Zhang Lin was embarrassed for a moment. Qiao Liang made a gesture to Zhang Lin and pointed in the direction of the guest house, hinting to her that it was very close to the guest house and there was no harm in walking back.
Zhang Lin nodded and went back to handle things.
Qiao Liang and An Zhe walked toward the guest house. An Zhe walked very fast, and Qiao Liang followed closely.
After a while, An Zhe slowed down and said, "Xiao Qiao, have you ever encountered the Sanjiang City Management Bureau's brutal law enforcement?"
"I have encountered it before. In fact, I was the person involved in what the bus driver said just now..." Qiao Liang went on to explain the last incident in detail.
After listening to Qiao Liang's words, An Zhe nodded: "In this way, Zhang Lin caught it in time, but the person in charge and the people below did not do a good job in supervising and implementing it."
Qiao Liang nodded: "Yes, County Magistrate Zhang attaches great importance to this matter. I didn't expect that the implementation below was not in place."
An Zhe paused for a moment: "What did this Ding Lei do before?"
"Working in the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee, and was just promoted to deputy county magistrate of Sanjiang."
"The Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee..." Anzhe nodded, "He is Secretary Shusen's old subordinate, right?"
Qiao Liang nodded.
"Yes." An Zhe breathed, "Was Secretary Shusen in the Propaganda Department before going to the Organization Department?"
Qiao Liang nodded again.
"So, that means Mayor Hong Gang took over Secretary Shusen's position at that time?"
"Um."
Anzhe was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "Did you go to the government to find Mayor Hong Gang two days ago?"
Qiao Liang was stunned. Anzhe's thoughts changed so quickly that he couldn't keep up. Why did he suddenly ask about this? How did he know?
Qiao Liang nodded quickly without thinking too much.
"Did he look for you, or did you look for him on your own initiative?" An Zhe asked again.
"Mayor Xu called me." After Qiao Liang finished speaking, he added, "Mayor Xu is my old leader. He just returned from studying at the Central Party School. I was also planning to visit him."
An Zhe turned and glanced at Qiao Liang: "Does Mayor Hong Gang attach great importance to you? Do you respect him too?"
