Zhang Lin's legs didn't move anymore, and she said while touching the cards: "Chief Qiao, how do you think of this card?"
"It's pretty good." Qiao Liang said while touching Zhang Lin's leg.
Zhang Lin snorted: "Chief Qiao, be careful."
Obviously Zhang Lin's words were a pun, but only the two of them knew the content of the pun.
Qiao Liang smiled while gently rubbing Zhang Lin's legs: "Thank you, County Magistrate Zhang, for reminding me, I will be careful."
The feeling of doing small tricks under the nose of the leader makes Qiao Liang exciting and comfortable.
Zhang Lin was a little nervous, this guy is so brave.
Although I was nervous, I still had a subtle feeling in my heart.
After touching the cards, he started playing cards. When it was Qiao Liang's turn, he showed his momentum as soon as he came up and played several good cards one after another.
You Chengdong was very satisfied, well, it seems the substitution was correct.
Seeing You Chengdong's satisfied expression, Qiao Liang smiled secretly.
When the last few cards were dealt, Qiao Liang deliberately opened the cards in his hand and then played them out.
"Feng——" An Zhe then slapped the cards on the table and looked at You Chengdong, "You guys lost again."
You Chengdong became anxious and stared at Qiao Liang: "Chief Qiao, why did you lose your temper at the critical moment?"
"There's nothing we can do. Who told Secretary An to play cards so well?" Qiao Liang covered the remaining cards in his hand and pushed them on the table, shaking his head and smiling bitterly.
Sheng Peng, who was sitting next to him, could see clearly and knew that Qiao Liang did it on purpose. He smiled secretly, saying that this boy was as smart as himself.
Zhang Lin smiled and said: "How about it, Section Chief Qiao, is my reminder correct?"
"Yes, County Magistrate Zhang is wise." Qiao Liang nodded repeatedly and rubbed Zhang Lin's legs a few more times under the table.
Zhang Lin pursed her lips and glared at Qiao Liang angrily when no one was paying attention.
Qiao Liang acted as if nothing had happened, laughing secretly in his heart.
An Zhe said: "I think Xiao Qiao is not as good as Director Sheng."
You Chengdong nodded: "Change it back, change it back."
Since You Chengdong said so, it had to be this way. Qiao Liang reluctantly stood up and changed seats with Sheng Peng.
Zhang Lin breathed a sigh of relief, this guy finally had no chance.
For some reason, Zhang Lin was nostalgic for that feeling, and it made her heart beat.
The game lasted until almost 12 o'clock, and the winner was finally decided. Naturally, An Zhe and Zhang Lin won.
Then Zhang Lin said: "Secretary An, it's getting late, why don't you take a rest?"
Anzhe looked at the time and nodded: "Okay, rest."
Everyone stood up to say goodbye, An Zhe said: "Xiao Qiao, you see them off."
Qiao Liang agreed to go out with them. As he walked, You Chengdong complained that Sheng Peng was too lucky tonight. Sheng Peng chuckled and nodded.
Zhang Lin and Qiao Liang walked behind. Zhang Lin said: "Jiang Xiuxiu and the people from the county party committee are working overtime tonight to figure out the overall work ideas for the county. She will send it to you early tomorrow morning."
Qiao Liang nodded, it turned out that Jiang Xiuxiu was working on this material tonight.
Walking to the stairs, Zhang Lin said: "Chief Qiao, don't send me off. I'll see you tomorrow morning."
Qiao Liang said goodbye to everyone and then returned to Anzhe's room, where he was sitting on the sofa smoking.
Qiao Liang noticed at this time that from eating to playing cards tonight, An Zhe had not smoked. I wonder if it was because of Zhang Lin's presence.
Qiao Liang went to the bathroom to put in hot water, then came out and said: "Secretary An, take a shower and rest."
Anzhe nodded, thinking about something while smoking.
Qiao Liang said nothing and went over to clean up the card table.
After cleaning up, Anzhe stood up after smoking and took off his coat while saying: "Xiao Qiao, do you smoke?"
"Smoke one occasionally." Qiao Liang said cautiously.
"Yes." An Zhe nodded, "Go back and rest, and come with me to visit the county town tomorrow morning."
"What time is it?"
"Around 6 o'clock."
"Walking or..."
An Zhe rolled his eyelids: "It's such a big county, can you walk here?"
&n
bsp; Qiao Liang nodded hurriedly. It seemed that he was about to take a car. Fortunately, he had the foresight to arrange for Zhao Qiang to follow him in the car.
Qiao Liang returned to his room and then notified Zhao Qiang, asking him to wait before getting off the bus downstairs at 6 o'clock tomorrow morning.
After getting into bed, Qiao Liang was afraid that she had overslept, so she set the alarm on her phone at 5:40.
Lying on the bed, Qiao Liang looked at the ceiling and thought, Anzhe is so energetic. He goes to bed so late and can still wake up so early tomorrow.
Do people get less sleep as they get older?
While I was thinking about it, my phone rang, and I saw it was Zhang Lin calling.
"You brat, you are so brave tonight." Zhang Lin came up and said, although she had a tone of blame, she didn't seem to be angry.
Qiao Liang knew what Zhang Lin was referring to and laughed: "Sister Lin, how do you feel?"
"What do you think?" Zhang Lin's voice was uncertain.
"I have no idea."
"Pooh--"
"hey-hey……"
After a moment Zhang Lin said: "Secretary An is resting?"
"It should be."
“How does it feel to be the boss’s secretary?”
"It seems that accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger. I am a little tired and my heart is tired."
"It's normal. You will get used to it gradually. I think Secretary An's personality and temperament are somewhat similar to yours."
"Why didn't I feel it?"
"Because you are a fan of the authorities."
Qiao Liang breathed out softly, maybe Zhang Lin was right, I hope so.
After a while, Zhang Lin said again: "Actually, I know that both you and Director Sheng deliberately made the wrong cards tonight."
Qiao Liang smiled, Zhang Lin was very smart.
"Sister Lin, do you think Secretary You knows?"
"He..." Zhang Lin pondered for a moment, "It's hard to say."
"Why is it hard to say?"
"Because officialdom is a big stage and everyone is an actor. There are high and low acting skills. Sometimes it is difficult to distinguish between true and false."
"So it seems that Secretary Na An also knows about it?"
"It's still hard to say."
Qiao Liang nodded. It seemed like what Zhang Lin said was true. In the officialdom, everyone is acting, but the acting skills are really different. Even when playing cards, you have to perform carefully.
It’s so tiring just thinking about it.
Early the next morning, Qiao Liang was woken up by the alarm clock on time, hurriedly dressed and washed, then walked to the door of Anzhe's room, leaned close to the door and listened, but there was no movement inside.
Could it be that An Zhe had slept and hadn't woken up yet? Qiao Liang looked at the time, it was 6 o'clock.
Qiao Liang was a little hesitant. Should he knock on the door and wake Anzhe up? If he was sleeping soundly, he would be unhappy if he was disturbed. But if he didn't wake up, it would delay his transfer to the county seat this morning, which seemed inappropriate.
While he was hesitating, a waitress came over and whispered: "Secretary An just came downstairs."
When Qiao Liang heard this, he thought, damn, he acted too late.
Qiao Liang hurriedly went downstairs and out the door, Anzhe was stretching his limbs next to the car.
It was just dawn at this time.
Seeing Qiao Liang come down, An Zhe then got into the car. Qiao Liang hurriedly got into the car and said to Zhao Qiang, "You can wander around the county town as you like."
Zhao Qiang drove out of the guest house.
Although it was just dawn, there were already early-rising vehicles and pedestrians on the road, and sanitation workers were cleaning the road.
When passing by a sanitation worker, Anzhe asked to stop, got out of the car, and walked directly towards the sanitation worker.
Qiao Liang quickly got out of the car and followed him.
An Zhe greeted the sanitation worker, who was an aunt in her 50s. He looked at the car parked nearby, then at An Zhe and Qiao Liang, feeling a little confused and confused about their identities.
Anzhe chatted casually with the sanitation worker and asked her about her family situation and work situation, including income and benefits. The sanitation worker's aunt answered everything.
After chatting for a while, Anzhe returned to the car and continued to wander around the county.
When we turned near Sanjiang Long-distance Bus Station, the car could no longer move and the front was blocked.
