? Ma Liujin fell on the sofa, motionless, and even fainted.

Xiang Tianliang hurriedly leaned over to take a look, then raised his head and cast a questioning look at Liu Qingtong.

Holding back his laughter, Liu Qingtong shook his head and continued to smoke on the back of the sofa.

Finally, after smoking a cigarette and pinching the butt, Liu Qingtong stretched out his foot and kicked Ma Liujin on the butt.

"Hey, it's almost done. I'll just do it again. Get up!"

Sure enough, Ma Liujin got up immediately and cursed Liu Qingtong.

"***Liu Qingtong, you are so heartless, why don't you even sympathize with me!"

Xiang Tianliang couldn't help laughing, but he was shocked in his heart. He really didn't expect that there were people who were so good at pretending.

Liu Qingtong said to Tianliang: "Pretending once or twice is not a skill. What's difficult is that some people are cowards who have been pretending for more than 20 years!"

Smiling towards the sky without saying a word.

Ma Liujin smiled sheepishly.

"Director Xiaoxiang, I made you laugh, don't hold it in, just laugh if you want, I will never be angry!"

Although he is thin in stature, Ma Liujin has a good face, especially his ears. At first glance, he is a blessed person.

Xiang Tianliang said: "Director Ma, all living beings in this world have their own true side and something worthy of ridicule!"

Ma Liujin raised his thumb and said to Liu Qingtong: "Look, look, Old Liu, do you remember what I said when I first met Director Xiaoxiang? Director Xiaoxiang has an extraordinary bearing and is a man who does big things."

people!"

"I remember, you did say this." Liu Qingtong nodded.

Ma Liujin took out his cigarettes, offered them to the two of them, lit them, and then lit one himself.

"I am a person who has been virtuous all my life, fighting for support, treating guests and giving gifts. I don't have the soft power. If I can't fight with courage, I will fight with wits. Everything starts from protecting myself, and I won't do anything dangerous even to the death. But I didn't expect that,

It’s just such an adventure, but it’s a failure!”

Liu Qingtong smiled and said: "Don't be emotional, if you do this again, I will tell you your story!"

"It's okay, just as you agreed, I'm willing to make a fool of myself in front of Director Xiaoxiang!"

Xiang Tianliang smiled and said: "Director Ma, you look like a person with a story!"

Liu Qingtong said: "Brother, Lao Ma was very miserable when he was a child. He suffered from anemia since he was a child and he fainted easily. However, sometimes bad things can turn into good things. After he joined the work, because he had this problem, it can be said that it helped him

He did it three times, so that he tasted the sweetness. Later, he recovered, but he still couldn't change the habit of fainting. He would do this at every critical moment!"

Xiang Tianliang smiled and said nothing. He really wanted to hear Ma Liujin's story.

Liu Qingtong didn't need to say anything, Ma Liujin smiled mockingly and said it himself.

"When I was seventeen years old, I was recruited into the Municipal Meteorological Bureau. Our section chief didn't like me and always wanted to send me to work in the mountains. At that time, most of our meteorological collection points in Qinghe were in difficult places.

But I had practical difficulties, and that guy wanted to drive me away. By coincidence, he fainted as soon as I left his office. It was so faint that the section chief was frightened and quickly revoked his decision!

"

"The second time was at the Meteorological Bureau. That year, according to the deployment of the Provincial Meteorological Observatory, we wanted to add three meteorological points on the island. The nearest one was fifty kilometers away from the mainland. We had to send people to each meteorological point.

I was called upon again. At that time, the new director was a retired soldier. He had a military style. Let’s talk about it.

Fuji, when I checked my work files, I found that I had been working for three and a half years and had never been out in the wild. Without saying a word, he asked me to go to the island and personally escorted me and two other colleagues to the boat. Unexpectedly, as soon as we arrived at the dock,

I fainted before I even got on the boat, which is not bad. The director waved his hand and said, this kid is a natural coward, replace him!"

"The other time I got really dizzy was after I was transferred to our Construction Bureau, and it was related to the old director Lao Chenggui. At that time, he was the newly appointed deputy director of the Construction Department. I worked under him and went to construction sites. Once,

He wanted to transfer me to the Jiumen County Bridge construction site, which was a joint military-civilian construction project.

I had to stick to it for a year, but I didn’t want to go because my wife was about to give birth and I had to stay and take care of her. So Lao Chenggui and I started to argue. We were arguing, and I fainted and fell to the ground.

This frightened Lao Chenggui, and from then on, he never dared to send me abroad again!"

Xiang Tianliang and Liu Qing laughed together for a long time.

Liu Qingtong pointed to the material and said: "Old Ma, let's get back to reality and tell brother Xiao Xiang what is going on!"

Ma Liujin sighed.

"Oh, it's all that old boy Lao Chenggui's fault. The bitter fruit he sowed has made me miserable!"

Xiang Tianliang asked: "Director Ma, do you have anything to do with the old director?"

Nodding, Ma Liujin said: "Lao Chenggui personally took charge of this city's third-phase old house renovation project. Our construction industry office had no say at all. After the project was confirmed, Lao Chenggui told me,

If this project is handed over to Hong Xiaohu, I certainly have no right to object. Just like that, without even holding a party group meeting, the 15 million yuan project belongs to Hong Xiaohu!"

"This matter is obvious. Lao Chenggui is flattering Deputy Mayor Hong. It should be the responsibility of Deputy Director Sun Zhanlu. Since Lao Chenggui is taking the lead, Deputy Director Sun is a smart man and is happy to hide.

On the other hand, I can’t hide. The project is located in Qinghe District and should be supervised by the Qinghe Branch. But Lao Chenggui had a conflict with Su He, the director of the Qinghe Branch. He didn’t want him to interfere, so he handed over the supervision of the project to our construction company.

Business!"

"That's it, Hong Xiaohu stuck to me, but what kind of person he is, how can I not know? I am a very cautious person, but I still fell into his trap!"

Having said this, Ma Liujin looked ashamed and shook his head.

"What's wrong? Tell me." Liu Qingtong urged.

"One night, I came home after working overtime. I met Hong Xiaohu on the road and said he wanted to treat me to dinner. He forced me to get into the car. After arriving at the hotel, he found two of his men and forced me to drink.

I was drunk...When I woke up the next day, I found myself lying on the hotel bed with a naked woman next to me..."

Liu Qingtong sighed: "Everything is possible!"

"But I was determined not to accept any money from him. I wanted to keep this bottom line, but he couldn't do anything to me. But I didn't expect that one day he came to my office and took out some photos of his body. I asked him

What did he want to do? He said he had no ill intentions and just wanted to borrow my name to get a bank passbook... I had no choice but to agree to it!"

Comrade Liu Qing said: "Old Ma, the money is in your bank book now. You can't wash it off even if you jump into the Yellow River!"

Ma Liujin nodded sadly, looked at Xiang Tianliang and said, "Director Xiaoxiang, this is basically the situation. I believe you will make the right judgment!"

Xiang Tianliang made no comment, just smiled faintly.

It would be too easy to let you go like this. That's not how business works. You need chips to make a deal. If you don't pay, how can you expect to get anything?

Xiang Tianliang had his own plan. The two people in front of him were both powerful people in the Construction Bureau. Since he couldn't be one of his own, he had to tie them down first. There would definitely be a time when he could take advantage of them.

Taking advantage of trouble to create trouble and profit from it is Xiang Tianliang's specialty.

Liu Qingtong looked at Xiang Tianliang and asked: "Brother, what do you think?"

Xiang Tianliang smiled faintly again, "Now that I have taken measures to have the bank freeze this account, it is impossible for Hong Xiaohu to transfer the money away!"

"What's the next step?" Liu Qingtong asked.

He muttered a little toward the dawn.

"I think not many people know about this now, and I don't think Hong Xiaohu wants others to know, so we must keep it secret first. If one less person knows, there will be less trouble!"

Liu Qingtong and Ma Liujin both nodded in agreement.

"Second, we have to find a way to get the money back first!"

Ma Liujin said: "Director Xiaoxiang, this seems to be troublesome!"

"This... is a bit troublesome, I really haven't thought about it yet!"

As he spoke, Xiang Tianliang thought to himself, I'll stretch you guys first, and then we'll solve the problem when we're in a hurry.

Ma Liujin and Liu Qingtong looked at each other. They were a little confused and didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Xiang Tianliang's gourd.

He stood up, lit a fire, put away the materials, and stood up to say goodbye at dawn.

"Brother Liu, Director Ma, please discuss it first, I have to deal with that Li Gen!"

Liu Qingtong was surprised, "Why, this guy got involved too!"

"Yes, Director Zhang sent him to cooperate with my work. Is there any problem with this?"

Liu Qingtong stamped his feet and said: "He and Hong Xiaohu's best friend, letting him know is not the same as telling Hong Xiaohu!"

Of course Ma Liujin was anxious, "Director Xiaoxiang, please be merciful!"

"Don't worry, I haven't told him yet." Xiang Tianliang smiled.

Liu Qingtong breathed a sigh of relief, "Brother, you did the right thing, Lao Ma and I know it well!"

"I know, you two sit down, I'll go first!"

Open the door to dawn.

Looking at Xiang Tianliang's back, Liu Qingtong and Ma Liujin looked at each other.

"What is he going to do?" Ma Liujin asked.

"Humph, this guy is stretching us!"

"Stretch!"
