There was indeed no free lunch in the world. Zhang Daguanren was choking, really. Secretary Qiao's words choked him, and the stick-faced steamed buns choked him. He picked up the egg soup and took a sip. It was so hot that Zhang Daguanren almost vomited out, but he didn't dare. It was necessary to have some demeanor in front of Secretary Qiao.

Qiao Zhenliang actually laughed again when he looked at Zhang Yang's embarrassing appearance.

Zhang Yang finally recovered and shook his head and said, "Secretary Qiao, don't think too much. Miss Qiao and I are ordinary friends, pure revolutionary friendship. Do you think I have no money here?"

"No! I believe in my daughter."

Official Zhang understood that they believed in their daughter, but did not say they believed in him. Zhang Yang said: "Secretary Qiao, do you think I need to use my party principles to guarantee it?"

Qiao Zhenliang shook his head and said, "It's over. Fortunately, Meng Yuan is in danger. If she really makes any mistakes, I will most likely take revenge on her."

Secretary Qiao's words stunned Zhang Yang.

Qiao Zhenliang said: "I just can't bear to see my daughter being wronged. I have never liked Xu Jiayong in the past. Now that he is dead, he is still dead. Such a person is not worthy of sympathy."

Zhang Yang coughed and said, "Actually, I'm very sorry for this matter. If it weren't for me, Xu Jiayong wouldn't have had such a big misunderstanding, nor would he attack Mengyuan."

Qiao Zhenliang said calmly: "The past is over, but fortunately you saved Mengyuan."

Zhang Yang heard that Qiao Zhenliang had not finished speaking. In fact, they made it clear. If something went wrong with his daughter, they would avenge their personal revenge. Old Qiao, Old Qiao, it was really cruel!

After Qiao Zhenliang finished talking about this incident, it seemed that nothing had happened, and a smile appeared on his face. He said with concern: "Eat food, like my own home, don't let go."

Zhang Yang wanted to let go, but he really couldn't let go in front of the provincial party secretary.

Qiao Zhenliang said: "Do you think the dishes at my house are too simple? It's not good to eat too much big fish and meat?"

Zhang Yang said: "Secretary Qiao, you didn't blame me, are you?"

Qiao Zhenliang said: "What are you saying? You saved Mengyuan, I'm grateful that you can't even have time to do it."

Zhang Yang said: "Mengyuan is a good girl, kind-hearted, and I think she is a good friend."

"I know!" Qiao Zhenliang looked at Zhang Yang with deep meaning and said, "You are trying to praise Mengyuan, why don't you have any purpose? Do you want to chase my daughter?"

Zhang Yang admires Qiao Zhenliang more and more. Old Qiao is kind on the surface, but his mind is clear and decisive in encountering things is not inferior to Gu Yunzhi. However, his methods are different. Compared with Gu Yunzhi, it seems that Qiao Zhenliang lacks edges and domineeringness. However, Qiao Zhenliang is a round outside and square inside. He is actually more decisive and vigorous in dealing with problems than Gu Yunzhi.

Zhang Yang said: "Don't Secretary Qiao believe that there is friendship between men and women?"

Qiao Zhenliang smiled and said, "It's weird if you believe it!"

Zhang Yang said: "The times have changed. Now there may be friendship between the opposite sexes, and love between the same sexes!"

Qiao Zhenliang laughed and said, "It's because I can't keep up with the times. You young people are flexible enough in their minds! But their principles are a little worse."

Zhang Yang took the opportunity to say: "So we young cadres still need more support and corrections from the old leaders."

Qiao Zhenliang said: "The road is made by yourself, and others cannot help you. The same way of doing things is very effective for one person, but it may not work if you change it to another person."

Zhang Yang said: "Secretary Qiao is right, and the same is true for cities. Other cities have achieved success in doing this. If you copy other people's models, you may not be able to achieve the same success. If you don't say it far away, just talk about Lanshan. Lanshan's development has its own unique side. By the way, Secretary Qiao, I heard that Lanshan regards Secretary Zhou as Secretary Zhou as being the vice governor. I wonder if this news is true?" This guy led the topic step by step to Lanshan, hoping to take the opportunity to find out some situations from Qiao Zhenliang.

Qiao Zhenliang had already heard his purpose from Zhang Yang's voice and laughed unconsciously: "Jiangcheng is not enough for you to worry about? You actually still have the energy to care about Lanshan's affairs."

Zhang Yang said: "It's all brother cities, so it's okay to care about it."

Qiao Zhenliang nodded and said, "Yes, the organization has decided. Zhou Wuyang will come to the province to be the vice governor soon."

Zhang Yang pretended to be surprised and said, "Who will take over his position?"

Qiao Zhenliang smiled and said, "Who do you think is suitable?"

Zhang Yang pretended to be thinking hard, and after a while, he said: "Anyway, what I said doesn't count, I will just say it casually."

Qiao Zhenliang smiled and said, "Just say it, I won't take it to my heart."

Zhang Yang said: "Actually, I'm the most suitable!"

Qiao Zhenliang laughed, only Zhang Yang had such a thick face, but he also knew that Zhang Yang was just trying to make him laugh on purpose.

Zhang Yang said: "I am capable enough but I don't have enough qualifications. Isn't I promoting the younger cadre team now? Wu Ming is not bad either."

Qiao Zhenliang thought Zhang Yang would propose Chang Song and even say Qin Qing's name, but he was talking about Wu Ming. Qiao Zhenliang was finally aroused by this kid and said with a smile: "Why recommend him?"

Zhang Yang said: "Wu Ming is young and can deal with relationships. Our provincial party committee members have basically good relationships with him. Only by being able to get along with the leader can they become leaders!"

Qiao Zhenliang then realized that this kid was talking badly about Wu Ming. Qiao Zhenliang said, "You can also get along with the leader."

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "So I said, I am more suitable than him. Looking at Pinghai Province, I may be the only deputy department-level cadre who has the opportunity to have lunch with Secretary Qiao."

Qiao Zhenliang nodded with a smile: "So you have to be content!"

Zhang Yang said: "The Party teaches us to keep making progress and never be able to satisfy ourselves. Self-satisfiedness will have no motivation to move forward. How can we make progress without the motivation to move forward?"

Qiao Zhenliang laughed, he yawned and looked at the time.

Zhang Yang knew that he was going to see off the guests, so he stood up in a hurry and tactfully. Chatting with the leader was not a comfortable thing. Zhang Daguan Ren felt awkward from the bottom of his heart.

Qiao Zhenliang waved his hand and said, "Go, by the way, I don't agree with your point of view. I think Chang Song is more suitable to serve as the Secretary of the Lanshan Municipal Party Committee than Wu Ming."

Official Zhang stopped in shock, and he even wondered if he had heard it wrong. Qiao Zhenliang actually supported Chang Song. Being able to get the support of the provincial party secretary means that the matter has been finalized. It is undoubtedly true that Chang Song becomes the Secretary of the Lanshan Municipal Party Committee.

Qiao Zhenliang smiled and said, "Jiang is so spicy. Chang Song's leadership experience for so many years is not comparable to Wu Ming. You young people are the same and need to be honed."

Wu Ming learned from Kong Yuan that the province's final decision was made. Chang Song took over as Secretary of the Lanshan Municipal Party Committee, and Chang Ling, Executive Vice Mayor of Nanxi, was appointed as Mayor of Lanshan. After working hard, Wu Ming gained nothing. It was just a waste of water. Wu Ming was stunned. He thought that it was a foregone conclusion that he would become Secretary of the Lanshan Municipal Party Committee. Who would have thought that at the last moment, everything suddenly changed. His face changed. Wu Ming, who had always been calm, also lost his calmness, and his hand holding the teacup was slightly shaking.

Kong Yuan looked at Wu Ming calmly. Although Wu Ming deserves sympathy, Kong Yuan couldn't arouse any sympathy. No one in the officialdom would sympathize with the weak. Kong Yuan couldn't help but think of the scene when he talked to Chang Song. Compared with Wu Ming now, Chang Song is indeed more courageous than Wu Ming.

Wu Ming whispered: "Minister Kong...is this... an organizational decision?"

Kong Yuan sighed in his heart and replied: "All provincial standing committee members discussed, Secretary Qiao finally made a decision." He pushed his responsibility completely and reminded Wu Ming, give up, there is no room for reversal of what Secretary Qiao has decided.

Wu Ming had long known the cold-blooded and ruthlessness of political struggles, but he did not expect that he would become a victim of political struggles. He really couldn't figure out what he hadn't done well?

Kong Yuan said: "Xiao Wu, you are still young and you still have a lot of opportunities in the future. Do your best and actively improve yourself. I am still optimistic about you."

Wu Ming nodded, his heart was as heavy as lead, and he was so heavy that he couldn't breathe. He felt that he could not continue to stay and whispered: "Minister Kong, I understand. I will definitely not let down the expectations of the organization and the expectations of the leaders." After saying this, he hurriedly said goodbye and left. Some words must be said, and others cannot think that he cannot afford to lose.

Wu Ming left the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee and did not get on the bus. He walked out of the provincial party committee and government compound alone and walked towards the streets where the crowds were crowded. An unprecedented sense of loneliness enveloped his heart. At this moment, he felt that he was so isolated and helpless. He had put in so much effort before, but in the end he still failed. It was not that he did not want to do Qiao Zhenliang's work, but that he could not reach this relationship. But the facts proved that it was not the Organization Department, not any member of the Standing Committee, but that the Provincial Party Committee Secretary Qiao Zhenliang. Every Bodhisattva of Wu Ming respected him, but he did not worship the Tathagata Buddha and walked towards the sunset. The sun was very bright, and the orange sun shrouded Wu Ming, but he did not feel the slightest warmth. He was cold, from head to toe, and the feeling of being cold in his heart.

Wu Ming took out his cell phone and pressed it for a long time before he correctly dialed Zhang Lilan's phone. After the phone was connected, his first sentence was: "Sister Lan, I feel very confused, I...I want..."

"I'm in a meeting!" Zhang Lilan hung up the phone after saying that.

Wu Ming held the phone and listened to the beeping busy sound. He suddenly felt like he wanted to roar, but he couldn't. He felt like he was wrapped in an invisible shell, and every part of his body was.

A black duke king stopped beside him. Liu Yanhong, deputy secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, fell down the car window and looked at Wu Ming curiously: "Wu Ming, what are you doing?"

Wu Ming smiled at her, his smile was very stiff: "Secretary Liu, such a coincidence!"

Liu Yanhong smiled and said, "This is at the gate of the provincial party committee, it is easy to encounter?"

Wu Ming said: "Are you free? I'll treat you to a meal!"

Liu Yanhong said: "I still have to go back to report on my work."

Wu Ming said: "I'll wait for you!"

Liu Yanhong smiled and said, "Forget it, let's go another day!" After that, she drove away.

Liu Yanhong did not expect Wu Ming would really wait for her. When she finished her work for the whole day, it was already six:30 in the evening. When she came to the parking lot to pick up the car, she found a figure sitting on the flower bed next to her. After a closer look, it was Wu Ming.

Wu Ming was smoking a cigarette, and when he saw Liu Yanhong coming over and squatted it out, he stood up and smiled stiffly: "Secretary Liu, you're off work!"

Liu Yanhong nodded in surprise: "You... have always been here?"

Wu Ming nodded and said, "Let's have dinner together!"

When Liu Yanhong saw his appearance, she finally didn't say what she wanted to refuse. She smiled and said, "Okay, I'll treat you, the Imperial Palace!"

Wu Ming pointed to Liu Yanhong's Black Duke: "Go to your car!"

Liu Yanhong didn't know why Wu Ming was feeling depressed, but even an ordinary friend would be fine with her to have a meal at such a time.

Wu Ming picked up the wine glass and said, "Come on, cheers!"

Liu Yanhong picked up the teacup: "Has something happened to you?"

Wu Ming finished drinking the glass of wine and said, "Secretary Liu, do you treat me as a friend?"

Liu Yanhong smiled and said, "Ordinary friends, we have known each other for a short time and don't know much about each other."

Wu Ming said: "No matter what you think, I am already very moved by how you can have a meal with me and say a few words to me. I regard you as a friend."

Liu Yanhong smiled and said, "Now you can tell me what happened to you."

Wu Ming said: "Minister Kong from the Organization Department talked to me today."

Liu Yanhong has heard that the leadership team of Lanshan has faced adjustments recently, but she is not very interested in these things. She is too busy with the work of the Discipline Inspection Commission. When Wu Ming mentioned it, she whispered: "What are you saying?"
