After Qiao Liang and Cai Minghai finished their phone calls, Fu Minghai happened to bring dinner in. Qiao Liang continued working after eating.

Around eight o'clock, Qiao Liang packed up the things on his desk and was about to leave when his cell phone rang. Seeing that it was the boss Li Youwei, Qiao Liang immediately picked up the call.

"Boss, what's the matter?" Qiao Liang asked with a smile.

"Liang Zi, I'm at the Songbei Hotel. Are you free now? Come over and have a chat.

"Li Youwei said.

"Boss, are you coming to Songbei? I'll be there right away.

"Qiao Liang immediately said happily when he heard that Li Youwei had come to Songbei.

After hanging up the phone, Qiao Liang immediately took the car to Songbei Hotel.

Li Youwei was waiting for Qiao Liang in the tea room on the second floor of the hotel. When Qiao Liang came in, Li Youwei stood up and looked at Qiao Liang, then smiled and said, "You look good, and you seem to be recovering well.

"

When Qiao Liang was hospitalized a few days ago, Li Youwei visited Qiao Liang several times and was very concerned about Qiao Liang's injury.

Today, Li Youwei came to Songbei to inspect the Songbei Ancient City project invested by Chint Group. Originally, Li Youwei was going to invite Miao Peilong and Qiao Liang to have dinner together in the evening. He first called Miao Peilong and talked to Miao Pei.

Long said he would have dinner with Qiao Liang in the evening, but Miao Peilong told him that he would not come if Qiao Liang attended. When Li Youwei heard Miao Peilong's attitude, he stopped calling Qiao Liang.

Li Youwei's idea was to try to untie the knot between Qiao Liang and Miao Peilong. Since Miao Peilong insisted not to eat with Qiao Liang, Li Youwei simply had a chat with Miao Peilong first and took a look.

See what kind of conflict Miao Peilong has with Qiao Liang now. Only by clarifying it first can we do their work and resolve the conflict between them.

But Li Youwei obviously thought of things too simply. He was destined to return disappointed tonight. From the conversation with Miao Peilong, Li Youwei could feel that Miao Peilong's attitude towards Qiao Liang could be said to be filled with hatred.

Li Youwei wanted to ask why, but Miao Peilong didn't say anything and just kept drinking. As a result, Li Youwei was helpless.

Qiao Liang didn't know that Li Youwei invited Miao Peilong to dinner that night, and said, "Boss, why didn't you call me when you came to Songbei? Let's have dinner together tonight."

"

"Miao Peilong and I had dinner in the evening, and the meal just ended.

Li Youwei shook his head and smiled, waving to Qiao Liang and said, "Liangzi, sit down, let's sit down and talk."

"

Hearing this, Qiao Liang sat down and looked up at Li Youwei. He did not expect that Li Youwei would have dinner with Miao Peilong that night.

Li Youwei went on to explain, "I came here today to inspect the Songbei Ancient City project invested by the group. The project is about to be completed. I came here today to have a look. I thought I would invite you and Miao Peilong to have dinner together tonight to see if I can resolve the issue between you.

There was a conflict, but Miao Peilong said he wouldn't come if you came. I thought about it for a while and decided not to call you. I planned to talk to Miao Peilong first.

"

When Qiao Liang heard this, he couldn't help but said, "Boss, did you and Secretary Miao talk about anything?"

"Well, it seems that I am a bit wishful thinking. I don't have the ability to resolve the conflict between you two.

"Li Youwei smiled helplessly.

Qiao Liang was not surprised at all when he heard this and smiled slightly, "If the conflict between Secretary Miao and I could be resolved, we wouldn't be where we are today.

"

"What's going on with you two now?

"Li Youwei sighed, "I have known Peilong for many years, and we have always had a good relationship. In my impression, he is a person who values ​​affection and justice, is forthright and righteous, and is worth getting to know, but now he has also changed.

It has to make me a little strange, especially the relationship between you two, which makes me very uncomfortable. It's really not good for me to be sandwiched between you.

"

“Boss, let’s not worry about so many things and let each of us do our own thing.

"Qiao Liang said with a smile.

“That’s all it can do.

"Li Youwei smiled, feeling somewhat powerless in his heart. He and Miao Peilong had a really good relationship, especially since Miao Peilong would basically go to him for dinner every time he went to the city, so he had

In fact, he also tried to resolve the conflict between Miao Peilong and Qiao Liang, but was distracted by Miao Peilong every time. Li Youwei originally thought that Miao Peilong just didn't want to talk, but judging from today's situation, Miao Peilong

The conflict with Qiao Liang was deeper than he imagined.

"Liang Zi, do you think Peilong has really changed now?" Li Youwei asked.

"It has changed, I think he is no longer the old Brother Miao.

"Qiao Liang raised his eyebrows.

"Maybe.

Li Youwei frowned slightly, "Maybe power can really change people. That was not the case with Peilong before."

"

Li Youwei did feel some changes in Miao Peilong. In the past, Miao Peilong would talk about some ideals and ambitions and wanted to do some practical things, but now Miao Peilong has no ideals and ambitions in his mouth, and has begun to

Talking about hedonism, Li Youwei has heard Miao Peilong mention it more than once, "When an official reaches his level and has devoted most of his life to the people, it is time to think about himself." Similar words, Miao Peilong said

Several times, Li Youwei criticized Miao Peilong for this and told him not to have that kind of thinking, but Miao Peilong obviously didn't take it seriously and didn't listen to his words.

"Boss, the root of the current conflict between Secretary Miao and I is that we have different positions, so the conflict between us cannot be resolved.

" Qiao Liang said.

"Hey, how did the relationship between you two get into such a mess?" Li Youwei sighed again, "Especially Peilong, with his current appearance, I am somewhat worried for him, worried that he will embark on a road of no return in the future.

.

"

"Boss, everyone has their own choices, and they must bear the consequences of their choices. Some things are beyond our control.

"Qiao Liang said lightly.

"Well, you're right.

"Li Youwei nodded. Regarding Miao Peilong's matter, Li Youwei is now helpless. The other party is an adult after all. Li Youwei can't decide anything for him. He can only try his best to persuade Miao Peilong.

Long pays attention to some discipline issues, but whether Miao Peilong can listen to them is another matter.

Based on Li Youwei's understanding of Miao Peilong, I am afraid that Miao Peilong has stepped on some disciplinary red lines. Li Youwei only hopes that nothing will happen to Miao Peilong, otherwise it will be a real pity. Miao Peilong in his youth

, is a person with ideals and ambitions. Now he has taken a top position and holds great power. How come he has become like this?

The two chatted about Miao Peilong for a while, and Qiao Liang didn't want to say any more. He instead said, "Boss, you have to invite me to the opening ceremony of your Songbei Ancient City project. I will stand up for you."

.

"

"Of course it will be. You are the county magistrate. Who can invite you if you are not invited? If you don't come by then, I will have to drag you here.

"Li Youwei said with a smile.

"That's good, I'll definitely go there then.

"Qiao Liang laughed, "This is a great thing. Once the Songbei Ancient City project starts operating, it will be of great significance to boost Songbei's tourism industry.

"

"Well, now our group also operates a tourism company. When the time comes, I will ask the tourism company to increase the tourism routes in Songbei Ancient City and allocate more resources here, hoping to attract some foreign tourists.

"Li Youwei said.

“That couldn’t be better. It will not only create economic benefits for our county, but also create jobs.

Qiao Liang looked happy and said, "Boss, if your group has other investment projects, we must give priority to Songbei."

"

"Don't worry, I will definitely give priority to Songbei, and the wealth will not go to outsiders.

"Li Youwei smiled and said, "By the way, I heard that you had a bet with Miao Peilong before, to see which of you can attract more investment to Songbei within half a year?"

"There is such a bet, but this bet is probably no longer counted. Secretary Miao previously worked on the International Automobile City project, which turned into a mess. He was also defrauded of a large amount of money by a fraud gang, which made him

His face is dishonored, and he probably doesn’t want to bring up the bet now.

"Qiao Liang laughed.

"Peilong was a little anxious, anxious to achieve political achievements, a little eager for quick success, and that's why he fell into the trap of a fraud gang.

"Li Youwei shook his head and said. He had also heard about this matter. It is said that Miao Peilong also visited the so-called 'headquarters' abroad and thought that the project was stable and had no problems. Who knew that these were all designed by fraud gangs?

.

Speaking of this matter, Qiao Liang is obviously still a little annoyed, because the subsequent impact of this matter has not been completely eliminated. Those construction companies that were defrauded of their deposits will still come to ask about the deposits from time to time, hoping that the county can give an answer, but

What answer can the county give? The case has not been solved yet, the police are still investigating the fraud gang, and all the money has not been recovered. It is impossible for the county to fill the hole with finances.

Seeing that Qiao Liang's expression was not good-looking, Li Youwei said, "Okay, let's not talk about him anymore, so as not to affect your mood. Let's talk about your affairs. Liang Zi, is there any progress in the case where you were shot?"

"Probably not yet, I haven't heard anything from the police.

"Qiao Liang shook his head and said, Lu Qian has now officially assumed the position of Executive Deputy Director of the Municipal Bureau. Qiao Liang also heard Lu Qian mention the case. Now this case is supervised by Lu Qian personally. Qiao Liang believes that Lu Qian will do her best to solve the case.
