It was almost noon after Qiao Liang and Zhao Jiechu finished their talks. The two had lunch in the county courtyard canteen together, and then they went back to rest.

Two days passed without realizing it. On this day, the opening ceremony of the 100th anniversary celebration of the County No. 1 Middle School was held as scheduled. Many of the well-known alumni who walked out of the County No. 1 Middle School made a special trip back to attend the 100th anniversary celebration of their alma mater, including many high-ranking officials, especially the highest-ranking position in a certain department in Beijing.

In the city, Luo Fei and Mayor Guo Xing'an also came to Songbei to attend the opening ceremony of the 100th anniversary of No. 1 Middle School.

The first and second leaders of the city have arrived, and the main leaders of Songbei County, such as Qiao Liang and Miao Peilong, will undoubtedly accompany them.

On this day, Songbei County No. 1 Middle School was a gathering of stars. Even Qiao Liang, as the county magistrate of Songbei County, could only sit in the second row on the stage, because there were too many heavyweights coming, so Qiao Liang was not qualified to sit in the first row.

The lively opening ceremony ended, and there were a series of school anniversary activities. Many alumni stayed to participate. The deputy post of a certain department who came here was too compact, after attending the opening ceremony, he hurriedly visited the school and returned to the capital. As the deputy post of the department returned, the leaders of the city also left. Mayor Guo Xing'an did not even stay for lunch and returned to the city as soon as possible because Guo Xing'an had other work arrangements.

Instead, Luo Fei stayed.

The reason why Luo Fei stayed was because the next day, Luo Fei's itinerary was all in Songbei, and he would conduct a one-day inspection activity in Songbei.

Luo Fei inspected Liugu Township in Songbei County, which is the first town in Songbei County to achieve poverty alleviation as a whole and achieve a well-off level in the town. At the provincial poverty alleviation work commendation conference at the beginning of this year, Liugu Township was named and praised by the province at the conference and awarded the plaque of "Model Township for Poverty Alleviation and Richness". It is the only town in Jiangzhou City to win this honor. Therefore, the city also highly praised it. In addition to attending the opening ceremony of the county No. 1 Middle School, Luo Fei made a special trip to Liugu Township for inspection.

The reason why Liugu Township has achieved such good results is that the township adapts to local conditions and combines the actual situation of Liugu Township to develop the characteristic Chinese medicinal materials planting industry, allowing the whole town to get rid of poverty and become rich.

During Luo Fei's inspection, he naturally had to affirm the work of the county. As the top leader of Songbei County, Miao Peilong was emphasized by Luo Fei to praise him. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Luo Fei was trying to build momentum for Miao Peilong, but Luo Fei did not mention a word about Qiao Liang.

All day long, Miao Peilong was a big show, because in his speech, Luo Fei specifically mentioned that Liugu Township was lifted out of poverty and became rich while Miao Peilong was in charge of work in Songbei County. All this cannot be separated from the correct leadership in the county. At the same time, Luo Fei also mentioned the International Automobile City project that Songbei County has successfully introduced recently. This is the largest foreign-invested project introduced by Songbei County in recent years. Even if it is placed in the entire city, this project is extremely rare because it is a foreign-invested project, and even the city attaches great importance to it.

Listening to Luo Fei's affirmation and praise of Miao Peilong from beginning to end, Qiao Liang, who had been with him for the inspection from beginning to end, was always very calm and did not show any special emotions. Qiao Liang knew very well that Luo Fei had hated him, so how could he praise him? It was just burning the incense without criticizing himself in public.

Luo Fei stayed in Songbei County for one night and returned to the city the next morning.

It was not until Luo Fei left that Qiao Liang secretly breathed a sigh of relief because he was not in the way of dealing with Luo Fei. Qiao Liang was actually very uncomfortable when he was with Luo Fei, but he had to keep smiling.

In the morning, Luo Fei was sent away, and Qiao Liang processed the backlog of documents yesterday in the office. At about 11 o'clock, Secretary Fu Minghai walked in and reported to Qiao Lianghui, "County Magistrate Qiao, the foreign businessmen you asked me to stare at seemed a bit abnormal."

"Is that so? What's wrong?" Qiao Liang's eyes lit up and he stopped what was in his hand. It turned out that although Qiao Liang could not tell anything unusual about the foreign businessmen from the information he found in Fu Minghai a few days ago, Qiao Liang was still worried and asked Fu Minghai to continue to pay attention to the every move of the foreign businessmen.

"Today I found the latest situation from the industrial and commercial department. The foreign-registered Suzutian Investment Company has just withdrawn 50 million of registered capital." Fu Minghai said.

"What?" Qiao Liang was stunned when he heard this and said subconsciously, "Is this a withdrawal from the registered capital?"

"It should not be counted." Fu Minghai shook his head, "I checked the situation. The registered capital they took was nominally used for the company's daily operations and was not counted as withdrawing the registered capital."

"But why do I feel weird?" Qiao Liang raised his eyebrows.

"It's a bit strange." Fu Minghai nodded and said, "There is another situation. The piece of land they obtained from the county is currently undergoing mortgage loan procedures and has to borrow 500 million from the bank."

"Borrow 500 million?" Qiao Liang was shocked again. Damn, there was not much movement in this international automobile city project. He took away the registered capital and wanted to borrow huge amounts of funds from the bank using the cheap land given to them by the county. No matter how you look at it, you think something is wrong.

The thoughts flashed through my mind, and Qiao Liang hurriedly asked, "Have the bank approved it?"

"This is not that fast, and bank loans also have to follow the process, let alone loans of several hundred million yuan. But as far as I know, this loan should be approved in the end. After all, this International Auto City project has been listed as a key project at the city and county levels. With our county's endorsement and land as collateral, the bank will most likely be approved." Fu Minghai said.

When Qiao Liang heard this, his brows frowned and pondered for a moment. Qiao Liang stood up and said, "Little Fu, let's go to the project site to take a look."

Qiao Liang left as soon as he said that, and Fu Minghai and his two men went to the construction site of the International Auto City project.

Because the project has only been signed for a short time, the project site is still a piece of weed, but it has been surrounded by a fence, and the fence is full of project promotional pictures of the International Automobile City that are beautifully made.

There were already machinery inside the construction site, and several excavators were digging the foundation, and a rumbling sound came out.

Looking at the situation on the construction site, Qiao Liang looked serious and didn't know what he was thinking.

This land is actually in a good location. If it is auctioned as residential land, it can cost a lot of money. However, in order to introduce this so-called international automobile city project, the county sold the quite high-quality land half-sold and gave it to the other party, and the price was very cheap. Of course, the nature of the land is industrial land.

After a long time, Qiao Liang said, "Xiao Fu, do you think this international automobile city project is reliable?"

"This..." Fu Minghai hesitated for a moment and did not dare to answer, because this project involved Miao Peilong, a major project introduced by Miao Peilong himself. Moreover, when Luo Fei, the head of the city, visited Songbei County yesterday, mentioned this project and praised it. If there was a problem with the project, it would probably cause an uproar when he turned around.

"What, I dare not say?" Qiao Liang turned his head and looked at Fu Minghai.

"County Magistrate Qiao, I don't know what to say for a moment." Fu Minghai scratched his head, "I think the situation I found out from now on is a bit strange, but if I say there is something wrong with this project, I don't think the evidence is enough."

Qiao Liang didn't say anything, Fu Minghai's words were correct. The reason why he was so suspicious was because he heard the so-called foreign businessmen speaking fluent Chinese on the mountain that day, with accent from Lingnan, and he didn't look like foreigners at all. That's why Qiao Liang questioned the identities of those foreign businessmen. When he started to doubt in his heart, any little wrong would undoubtedly expand Qiao Liang's suspicion. This is actually a kind of psychological inertia of people.

"Xiao Fu, you said that this International Auto City project is really a carefully designed bureau by a fraud gang. Wouldn't our Songbei County become a joke?" Qiao Liang said quietly.

"This...this should be unlikely." Fu Minghai was startled. This was the first time he heard from Qiao Liang that this was a fraud project, and he was really scared.

"It's impossible. I'm afraid of anything." Qiao Liang said with a serious expression, "Little Fu, when you go back later, you can contact the bank immediately so that they can't approve the loan no matter what. I'm saying it's what I mean."

"Okay." Fu Minghai nodded after hearing this.

Qiao Liang and Fu Minghai looked at the construction site for a while, then returned to the county compound. After returning to the office, Qiao Liang felt more and more uneasy as he thought about it. He felt that it was necessary to communicate with Miao Peilong again. After calling Miao Peilong's office, Qiao Liang came to Miao Peilong's office.

Qiao Liang didn't say anything about it on the phone, so after Qiao Liang came over, Miao Peilong looked at Qiao Liang lukewarmly and said lightly, "County Magistrate Qiao, what's the matter?"

"Secretary Miao, I still want to talk to you about the International Auto City project." Qiao Liang said.

"What's wrong with that automobile city project?" Miao Peilong's eyes widened and stared at Qiao Liang with a bad expression.

"I still think those foreign businessmen have some problems." Qiao Liang looked at Miao Peilong calmly.

When Miao Peilong heard this, he said in his heart that Qiao Liang was still suspicious of this. If he wanted to see it faster, Souwei Xingong renamed "Tianyi Yiyi Yike 2" and removed the "Yi" in the middle of the four words. Miao Peilong's anger suddenly burst out, calling Qiao Liang's name and angrily said, "Qiao Liang, are you endless?"

"Secretary Miao, I have a basis for saying this, and it is not targeted at all." Qiao Liang frowned.

"Okay, then you can tell me, what basis do you have? Don't say that you heard those foreign businessmen speak Chinese again." Miao Peilong sneered.

Seeing Miao Peilong's reaction, Qiao Liang frowned. Miao Peilong had a great prejudice against him, and the communication between the two was really difficult.
