Qiao Liang's mind quickly changed, then had an idea and said, "That's right. I just had nothing to do, so I browsed the Jiangzhou Water Conservancy Network at will. I saw their related briefings on the planning, design and construction of the river embankment. There were accompanying data renderings. When I became interested, I downloaded and opened it for a while."

"Oh..." An Zhe nodded, then asked, "How come you are interested in this?"

Qiao Liang said: "Didn't you often remind me to be more exposed to specific actual work and familiar with the grassroots level? I have always kept my instructions to you in my heart. Whenever I have time, I will understand the work situation of various departments and read everything..."

An Zhe nodded again: "Your answer seems to be more reasonable."

"That's how it is." Qiao Liang said.

"Okay, that's how it is..." An Zhe glanced at Qiao Liang, then went out with his hands behind his back.

Qiao Liang breathed a sigh of relief, continued to lie in front of the computer, and drew down the detailed construction section of the Urban Construction Development Group, including the culverts therein.

After a long time, Qiao Liang turned off the computer, put away the drawings, checked the time, and it was noon after get off work.

Qiao Liang walked out of the office and met Xu Honggang at the stairs. He was about to get off work. The two of them chatted and went downstairs.

"Xiao Qiao, is there any news about Xiao Ya recently?" Xu Honggang asked.

Qiao Liang frowned slightly. He Li was the cousin of Xu Honggang's wife Fang Xiaoya. She is now attending a US study. She should know Fang Xiaoya's situation very well. As He Li's husband, Xu Honggang asked herself about Fang Xiaoya's news. What does this mean?

It seems that Xu Honggang still doesn't know that Fang Xiaoya is sick, but only knows that Fang Xiaoya has gone to the United States.

As Fang Xiaoya, it is normal for her to stay in the United States for 8 years, and it is not bad for her to go back, let alone Li Youwei who is taking care of the group, so she can feel at ease.

Since Xu Honggang didn't know that Fang Xiaoya was sick, this shows that as Xu Honggang's wife, He Li was reserved for Xu Honggang's words and had a proper communication.

What does this mean? Could it be that Xu Honggang’s marriage is wrong? Could it be that he and He Li have been separated for a long time and have been emotionally alienated?

Qiao Liang had never heard Fang Xiaoya say a few words in this regard, so he could only guess at this time.

Once Qiao Liang judged that Xu Honggang didn't know that Fang Xiaoya was sick, he decided not to tell him, and his wife didn't say it, and he didn't have the need to do so.

Thinking of this, Qiao Liang said: "I have been very busy with work, and I have been in trouble one after another recently. I haven't contacted Xiaoya for a long time."

"Well..." Xu Honggang nodded, "I am the same. I heard that Xiaoya went to the United States some time ago, why did she stay there for so long and still not come back?"

Qiao Liang smiled: "Xiaoya has been in the United States for 8 years, and she must have been used to living there. In addition, she doesn't have to worry about the group here, so she doesn't want to stay there for more days."

"That's true. With Lao Li here, Xiaoya has saved a lot of trouble in the group. With Lao Li's character and character in doing things, Xiaoya naturally trusts Lao Li," said Xu Honggang.

Qiao Liang smiled again.

Xu Honggang continued: "You and Xiaoya have been old classmates for many years. You should keep in touch with each other frequently and not be alienated."

Qiao Liang nodded: "Yes."

"Xiao Qiao, I think your relationship with Xiaoya cannot be limited to the relationship between old classmates. It can be closer and there should be some breakthroughs." Xu Honggang said directly.

Qiao Liang blinked, why did Xu Honggang suddenly talk about this?

Xu Honggang continued: "Xiaoya is so interested in you. I have long noticed this. As a person who has experienced it, you should also know it very well, right?"

Qiao Liang let out a light breath and nodded.

"Since you know very well, why are you dragging it like this?" Xu Honggang said.

Qiao Liang didn't know how to answer Xu Honggang's question for a moment.

"Do you don't like Xiaoya?" Xu Honggang said.

Qiao Liang shook his head.

"Then..." Xu Honggang paused, "That's it that you already have other women in your heart?"

Qiao Liang continued to shake his head.

"Why is that?" Xu Honggang turned his head and stared at Qiao Liang, frowned slightly.

At this time, Xu Honggang felt a little cold and disappointed. He had already determined that Qiao Liang and Ye Xinyi had that relationship. He just told him that just to further test, not only to test whether Qiao Liang was that meaningful to Fang Xiaoya, but also to verify whether Qiao Liang was honest with him. Now Qiao Liang denies that he has other women in his heart, and is obviously lying to himself. Obviously, he lied to himself again on this issue.

While Xu Honggang's heart was chilling and lost, he also had indescribable sorrow and jealousy. This sorrow and jealousy came from a man's psychological and physiological instincts and had nothing to do with his position and identity.

After hearing Xu Honggang's question, Qiao Liang said: "The reason is actually very simple. Because of the failed marriage before, I don't want to touch on emotional issues now."

Excuses, excuses! Xu Honggang secretly said that if he had not seen Qiao Liang and Ye Xinyi hugging each other at the entrance of the Huangyuan Ye Xinyi dormitory community that time, he believed Qiao Liang's words at this time, but now, he did not believe it. While he did not believe it, he felt sad in his heart. This old subordinate whom he always valued and trusted had lost trust and honesty to himself, and he began to lie to himself, which shows that with the change of his identity and position, his position in his heart had undergone subtle changes.

This disappointed Xu Honggang.

But Xu Honggang would not let this disappointment be shown and nodded: "Well, it's understandable. If someone else listens to you, maybe someone doesn't believe it. They will think you are pretending, hiding, escaping, and avoiding something, but as your old leader, I completely believe and fully understand your current mood."

Qiao Liang was a little moved. After all, he was still the old leader. He trusted himself, and this trust was extremely precious.

Qiao Liang did not notice that Xu Honggang's eyes were a little unpredictable and complicated at this time.

After going downstairs and exiting the building, Xu Honggang's car stopped in front of the building, and the driver stood beside the car.

Xiao Zhenggang finished the resignation procedures and left. The office picked a new driver from the convoy for Xu Honggang, a very energetic young man.

Seeing Xu Hong come out, the young man hurriedly opened the rear door with a respectful look.

Looking at Xu Honggang's car and the new driver, thinking about the relationship between Xiao Zheng and Fang Zhengtai and Fang Xiaoya, thinking about the reason why Xiao Zheng came to drive for Xu Honggang, and thinking about the difficult process of solving the Fang Zhengtai car accident, Qiao Liang couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Everything in the past is vivid, as if it was something that just happened yesterday.

Seeing Qiao Liang looking at the new driver, Xu Honggang said, "Xiao Qiao, do you know about Xiao Zheng's resignation?"

"Well, I know." Qiao Liang nodded.

"Old Li called me personally, saying that it was Xiaoya's intention, and that the group needed Xiao Zheng to go back. Since that's the case, although I was used to Xiao Zheng driving for me and was a little reluctant, I still had to follow their wishes and agree to Xiao Zheng's resignation." Xu Honggang said.

Xu Honggang's words touched Qiao Liang a little. He knew that once the leader got used to familiar with a driver, he would not want to change it easily once he was able to use it with a driver. Xu Honggang was able to accept Xiao Zheng at the time, but now let Xiao Zheng go, obviously because of his relationship with Fang Xiaoya. In a sense, Xu Honggang not only helped Xiaoya and protected Xiao Zheng at the beginning, but also made some sacrifices after the Fang Zhengtai case was revealed.

In this matter, Qiao Liang thought Xu Honggang was very interesting.

Qiao Liang said to Xu Honggang: "In fact, not only do you have feelings for Xiao Zheng, but he also has feelings for you. He is reluctant to leave you, but there is nothing he can do."

"Haha..." Xu Honggang smiled, "Many of the feelings between superiors and subordinates are based on daily accumulation and details. It is difficult to build feelings and trust, and it takes time to accumulate, but it is easy to destroy, only one thing is necessary..."

Qiao Liang didn't know what Xu Honggang meant to say to him at this time, and didn't know whether he was targeted or just a broad feeling.

Xu Honggang continued: "So, the trust between colleagues and superiors and subordinates is very precious and needs to be cherished and cared for. The superiors should cherish it, and the subordinates should cherish it even more."

"Yes, it's reasonable!" Qiao Liang nodded.

Xu Honggang then got into the car. The young driver closed the car door and smiled respectfully at Qiao Liang. Qiao Liang also smiled and nodded.

Then the guy drove away.

Seeing Xu Honggang's car leaving, Qiao Liang pondered Xu Honggang's words again...

After having lunch at a snack bar near the courtyard, Qiao Liang rode his shared bicycle straight to Jiangbin Avenue and came to the culvert where the third brother was smashed.

Standing in the culvert, Qiao Liang looked up and looked down. There was a large piece of newly repaired cement at the top of the culvert, there were traces of cleaning on the ground, and there were a few small pieces of cement in the corner.

The newly added cement was obviously just put on, and they moved quickly enough.

Qiao Liang lowered his head and picked up small pieces of cement. As soon as he tried hard, the pieces became powdered.

Then Qiao Liang looked up at the top of the culvert and wondered what caused the cement block to fall?

Qiao Liang looked at the walls on both sides of the culvert and found some subtle cracks.

Hum? Why are there cracks?

Qiao Liang blinked and smashed the wall with his fist a few times, and then the crack became bigger.

Qiao Liang stretched out his finger to snatch the crack, and with a little force, a piece of cement the size of a palm was snatched off, barely exposed inside.

Qiao Liang looked inside carefully and frowned. Why was the reinforced concrete inside so thin? It didn’t look like steel bars, but like iron wire?

Qiao Liang thought for a moment, took out his cell phone and took a photo, then took out his notebook and notes and took them down.

Qiao Liang then carefully filled the cement piece he had picked back as it was and pressed hard. As long as no one touched it, it should not fall.

Then Qiao Liang then rode his bike along the river embankment and continued to walk forward...
