It was already very late after drinking with Sun Yong, so Qiao Liang went to rest after washing up.

The next morning, Qiao Liang came to the office as usual. After reading the newspaper that day, he accidentally opened the drawer and frowned slightly.

After pondering for a moment, Qiao Liang called Fu Minghai in, "Little Fu, have you ever opened my drawer?"

"No." Fu Minghai shook his head and looked at Qiao Liang in confusion, "County Magistrate, what's wrong?"

"Nothing." Qiao Liang waved his hand, wondering, could he remember it wrong?

It turned out that the drawer that Qiao Liang opened at this moment remembered that the one on top was a book, but now the one on top was a document, and the order was a bit messy.

Because there were no valuables in the drawer, Qiao Liang thought about it and didn't care about it.

In the afternoon, Qiao Liang went to the county hotel to participate in the event of Dong Aluminum Group donating counterpart poverty alleviation funds to Songbei County. This is a microcosm of Dong Aluminum Group's support for local poverty alleviation work as a provincial state-owned enterprise.

Wu Jiang, chairman of Dong Aluminum Group, will attend this afternoon's event, so the county, Miao Peilong and Qiao Liang will also attend the event. After all, Wujiang's level is there, and the county leaders will undoubtedly not dare to neglect it.

In addition, Xu Honggang, deputy secretary of the city, will also come here to attend the donation ceremony.

Xu Honggang came to Songbei an hour in advance, but Qiao Liang did not receive any relevant notice. Instead, after arriving at the county hotel, Qiao Liang saw Xu Honggang talking and laughing and chatting with Miao Peilong in the reception room.

Although Qiao Liang had some different views on Xu Honggang because of Ye Xinyi, Xu Honggang was his former old leader after all, and he was kind to him. The respect that Qiao Liang should maintain for Xu Honggang is still indispensable, so Qiao Liang still took the initiative to come forward to say hello to Xu Honggang.

Xu Honggang saw Qiao Liang smile and nodded in greeting. He didn't know if it was Qiao Liang's illusion. Qiao Liang felt that Xu Honggang's smile was a little unfamiliar, and there was a hint of meaning that he could not read thoroughly.

The cadres in the county arrived one after another. It was not until Ye Xinyi entered the reception room that Qiao Liang noticed that Xu Honggang's face had changed slightly, but Xu Honggang quickly recovered as usual and could not see any abnormality in front of others.

At this time, Miao Peilong answered a call and stood up and said, "Chairman Wu is here soon, let's go out to greet him."

Xu Honggang nodded slightly and stood up as he followed. Although Wu Jiang was only the chairman of a state-owned enterprise, in terms of level, the other party was one level higher than him, and Xu Honggang should go out to greet the other party.

The group arrived at the entrance of the county hotel, and Wujiang's car arrived in a while.

Xu Honggang and Miao Peilong came forward to shake hands with Wu Jiang. The two sides exchanged simple greetings. When it was Qiao Liang's turn, just as Qiao Liang wanted to introduce himself, Wu Jiang smiled and said, "County Magistrate Qiao, I have long admired you."

Qiao Liang was stunned when he heard this, and then hurriedly said, "Mr. Wu, your words made me feel scared."

"Haha, will it?" Wu Jiang looked at Qiao Liang with a smile, "I heard that after County Mayor Qiao came to Songbei, he showed his sharpness and achieved remarkable political achievements."

"Uh..." Qiao Liang was speechless when he heard this, and didn't know how to respond. Wu Jiang's words didn't sound good, and they were quite like holding a gun and a stick. Damn, he didn't seem to offend the other party, right?

While Qiao Liang was thinking, Wu Jiang had already passed Qiao Liang and shook hands with Ye Xinyi beside Qiao Liang. Suddenly, Qiao Liang suddenly came to his senses. Could it be because of Huang Hongmei's case?

Yes, it must be because of this. Qiao Liang became confident that Huang Hongmei's case had been pushing for investigation by the county bureau before. I think Wu Jiang knew about it, so although the two had never had a formal relationship before, Wu Jiang was afraid that he had already had an objection to him.

After guessing the reason, Qiao Liang couldn't help but curl his lips and thought to himself that Wu Jiang is not a good bird. The old saying goes, if the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked, can Wu Changsheng teach such a son, how good can Wu Jiang be?

The group stayed at the door for a while and soon entered the hotel. Ye Xinyi walked beside Qiao Liang and asked in a low voice, "That Chairman Wu seems to have prejudices against you?"

"Well, it should be." Qiao Liang nodded and said, "It should be related to his son's case. Let's talk to you later."

The two of them whispered, but they didn't know that Xu Honggang had been paying attention to Ye Xinyi. Seeing Ye Xinyi and Qiao Liang whispering, they were just normal communication, but in Xu Honggang's eyes, it was a manifestation of their intimate behavior. Subconsciously, Xu Honggang clenched his fists and looked at Qiao Liang with some gritted teeth.

Entering the hotel venue, with Wujiang coming, the donation ceremony officially begins.

The ceremony was hosted by Miao Peilong. After Xu Honggang delivered a speech, Wu Jiang went on stage to speak on behalf of Dong Aluminum Group.

This time, Dong Aluminum Group donated 20 million yuan of poverty alleviation funds to Songbei County for poverty alleviation work in Songbei County, which is the largest poverty alleviation funds donated by a single enterprise that Songbei County has received so far.

Wu Jiang delivered a passionate speech on it, talking about Dong Aluminum Group, as a provincial state-owned enterprise rooted in Songbei, should play a leading role, better integrate into the overall economic development of Songbei and benefit the local people...

The donation ceremony was carried out according to the established process. After the ceremony, the county set up a dinner to entertain Wu Jiang and his party.

Xu Honggang left after attending the donation ceremony. Qiao Liang didn't want to attend to tonight's dinner, but he was called by Miao Peilong.

In the private room of the county hotel, Miao Peilong looked at Qiao Liang with a smile, "County Magistrate Qiao, Director Wu said he would have a good chat with you tonight, how could you escape?"

"Secretary Miao, I have something else." Qiao Liang said with a slight smile.

"You can postpone other things first. Our task tonight is to accompany Chairman Wu." Miao Peilong said.

"Well, what Secretary Miao said," Qiao Liangyan said insincerely, turned to look at Wu Jiang and smiled, "I must respect Chairman Wu for a cup later. Thank you Director Wu for your support for our Songbei poverty alleviation work."

"County Magistrate Qiao, I'm afraid I can't afford to drink the wine you toast." Wu Jiang sat on the chair and the old god said.

Hearing this, Qiao Liang's smile froze. Wu Jiang's words were a little ugly, and even made people feel a little embarrassed. However, Qiao Liang was not easy to get angry due to the other party's identity.

Taking a deep breath, Qiao Liang squeezed a smile on his face, "Chairman Wu was joking, you are the leader, and I respect you for your sake."

"It seems that County Magistrate Qiao still has my presence in his eyes. I think County Magistrate Qiao looks down on me." Wu Jiang smiled and looked at Qiao Liang, "County Magistrate Qiao, there is something not very nice, I don't know whether to say it."

Damn, are you talking badly today? Qiao Liang cursed in his heart and said, "Chairman Wu said, I will accept your teachings humbly."

"I dare not take the teachings, so I just treat County Magistrate Qiao as a junior as a person, saying a few words of advice." Wu Jiang glanced at Qiao Liang indifferently and said, "County Magistrate Qiao, we ancient people are dedicated to being in harmony with each other. I believe you understand what it means. If a person is too sharp, he will bring disaster to himself sooner or later. The ancients' words are golden and jade-like words. County Magistrate Qiao must remember it."

"Thank you, Mr. Wu, for your teaching." Qiao Liang said lightly, looking a little angry.

Next, the dinner continued. Qiao Liang was really angry about Wu Jiang and made up his mind that if the other party relied on his seniority and said something ugly with a high level, he would definitely fight back. Damn it, I would be angry and I would leave at most.

Qiao Liang's face was not very good-looking, but fortunately Wu Jiang didn't continue to say anything. He was a department-level cadre after all, and he was a bit self-reliant.

After the dinner, Qiao Liang was the first to stand up and say goodbye, leaving quickly, without thinking about staying for a moment.

"It seems that County Magistrate Qiao did not listen to Mr. Wu's good words." Miao Peilong looked at Qiao Liang's back and instigated him without hesitation.

"Young man, sooner or later he will suffer." Wu Jiang snorted and asked again, "By the way, who did you say before? The county bureau director changed?"

"Cai Minghai, that's County Magistrate Qiao's man. Now I'm afraid that the other party will investigate the case again. County Magistrate Qiao was holding on to this case before," said Miao Peilong.

"If I remember correctly, Cai Minghai was from the Provincial Department, right?" Wu Jiang frowned.

"Yes, that's right." Miao Peilong nodded.

Wu Jiang had a calm face and didn't say anything. He remembered that he had tried to transfer Cai Minghai away through provincial relations, but in the end he failed. It seemed that Lin Qingping, the top leader of the provincial department, came forward to stop him. It seemed that Cai Minghai's background was not simple either.

Wu Jiang misjudged this matter, and he never expected that Qiao Liang was interfering with it.

After thinking about it, Wu Jiang said, "Let Jiang Hui deal with his tail cleanly. As long as there is no evidence, he can't check it no matter how much he checks it."

Miao Peilong frowned slightly when he heard this, he hesitated for a moment, and said nothing more. He didn't want to get involved in this matter too deeply, so he turned around and gave Jiang Hui a headache.

In the county courtyard, after Qiao Liang came out of the hotel, he did not return to the dormitory immediately, but came to the office.

Sitting in the office for a while, Qiao Liang picked up a cigarette and lit it.

Qiao Liang hasn't smoked a lot recently, and only smokes a few slaps to relieve boredom when he is irritated or unhappy.

Sitting on the chair, sucking mist, Qiao Liang thought about Huang Hongmei's case, and a trace of sinister flashed in his eyes. When Wu Jiang said at the dinner just now, Qiao Liang could not hear the other party's intention. The so-called advice was actually a warning, and the other party was warning him not to touch Huang Hongmei's case again!
