Zhang Lin noticed it this time, her heart beat, her face turned red, and then she pulled her hand back.

Qiao Liang was immediately embarrassed. Damn, would Zhang Lin feel angry if she was frivolous?

Zhang Lin was silent for a moment, and then said, "What are you thinking about the matter between you and Secretary Jing tonight?"

Seeing that Zhang Lin did not blame herself for the incident just now, Qiao Liang breathed a sigh of relief, and then said listlessly: "What else can I think? I offended Secretary Jing, so I don't think about any progress and promotion in the future. It would be a blessing to be able to maintain my current job."

Zhang Lin shook her head: "Actually, you don't have to be so discouraged."

"Why?"

Zhang Lin said: "Because of two o'clock, first, you are still very young and have a long time in the officialdom. Secretary Jing is old and has entered the sunset of the officialdom years. In the officialdom, his age is a treasure."

Qiao Liang nodded: "What about the second point?"

"Secondly, the officialdom has always been a hard drive-through general. If Secretary Jing cannot be promoted to the deputy provincial level, he will have to retire as the secretary of the municipal party committee once he reaches his age. Moreover, with Secretary Jing's qualifications and background, even if he is promoted to the deputy provincial level, he will at most be a deputy to the National People's Congress or the CPPCC and will not hold a position of real power. So, as long as you can survive his last period in Jiangzhou, according to your ability..." Zhang Lin did not continue and looked at Qiao Liang meaningfully and smiled.

After hearing Zhang Lin's analysis, Qiao Liang suddenly felt much more relaxed. Yes, the old guy was about to retreat. Why should he be so worried and discouraged? As long as he was not caught by him in the last period of Jing Haoran's administration in Jiangzhou, he would not see hope after he left?

Thinking of this, Qiao Liang became happy. Damn, before Jing Haoran left Jiangzhou, he must hold his tail and be cautious and be cautious. He must not catch any handle.

I also thought Zhang Lin was very smart and couldn't help but praise her.

Zhang Lin smiled: "In fact, not only do I think so, but Minister Ye also thinks so."

"Oh, what did Minister Ye say to you on the phone just now?"

Zhang Lin nodded.

Qiao Liang couldn't help but admire Ye Xinyi's clever mind, and suddenly he thought of another question: "Director Zhang, you just said that we are already friends, right?"

"Yes, since you are a friend, you can call me Sister Lin in private." Zhang Lin smiled slightly.

"Okay, Sister Lin."

This voice of Sister Lin made Qiao Liang feel that the distance between her and Zhang Lin was shortened a lot.

"Sister Lin, I have a question to ask you. I don't know if I should ask, and I wonder if you will tell me the truth."

Zhang Lin blinked: "As long as it does not involve work or personal privacy, you can ask, and I will try my best to satisfy you."

Qiao Liang was discouraged when he heard this: "Forget it, I won't ask."

"Why?"

“Because this issue seems to involve your personal privacy.”

"Oh, why does it seem to be involved?" Zhang Lin was a little curious.

"Because I don't know if your relationship with Minister Ye is personal privacy." Qiao Liang said simply.

Zhang Lin understood that Qiao Liang had been struggling with this issue. Ye Xinyi had told him before that Qiao Liang had always suspected that he had colluded with Ye Xinyi. That night he investigated and punished him to help Ye Xinyi successfully advance to deputy director.

Zhang Lin felt that it was time to understand Qiao Liang's knot. Since everyone is friends, they should get along with each other calmly and face it sincerely, not to mention that he had just saved his life.

"Actually, this is not a secret. It's just that I work in the compound with Xinyi. I don't want to publicly show that I'm too close to you to make everyone think more. I can tell you now." Zhang Lin paused, "Xinyi and I are sister-in-law..."

What? Qiao Liang almost jumped up from the sofa. Although he always felt that Zhang Lin and Ye Xinyi had a good relationship, he didn't expect that they were so close. One was his sister-in-law and the other was his sister-in-law.

"Sister Lin, you, you, your husband is Ye Xinyi's brother? This is incredible." Qiao Liang opened his eyes wide.

Seeing Qiao Liang's performance was so exaggerated, Zhang Lin waved her hand: "Sit down, don't be so excited. I haven't finished talking yet. We are cousin-sister-in-law, and Ye Xinyi is my husband's distant cousin."

So that's the case, my cousin and my distant cousin, Qiao Liang nodded and sat down, and then thought of another question: "Then, isn't Ning Hailong your cousin's husband?"

When Qiao Liang mentioned Ning Hailong, Zhang Lin showed a disgusting expression in her eyes, but she sighed and nodded: "From the relationship between Ning Hailong and her favorite, this is the case."

Looking at Zhang Lin's expression, Qiao Liang felt that Zhang Lin should not like Ning Hailong, and murmured: "Although Ning Hailong looks handsome and handsome, and the unit is also good, I seem to feel..."

"What do you feel?"

"It seems that Ning Hailong and Minister Ye are not the same person."

Zhang Lin was stunned for a moment, then nodded and sighed: "Oh, I'm a sin. I love a woman with a miserable life. I have half of her responsibility for her unfortunate marriage."

"What's going on?" Qiao Liang was very curious. Although he knew that he shouldn't have too much inquire about other people's privacy, he couldn't help it. After all, Ye Xinyi was a woman who had such a relationship with him.

Zhang Lin remained silent.

"Since it's inconvenient to say it, I won't say it." Qiao Liang also felt that he had asked too much.

Zhang Lin was silent for a long time and then said, "To others, it seems that this cannot be said, but you seem to know."

"Why?"

"Because you saved your favorite life, because I think you can be friends with your favorites."

"Do you think?" Qiao Liang smiled bitterly.

Although he saved her life, he did Ye Xinyi again. While Ye Xinyi was grateful to herself, she also had an unforgivable hatred. These two emotions were intertwined, which determined that although Ye Xinyi no longer regarded herself as an enemy, being friends seemed to be a very distant thing, and it would be good to be a colleague.

Seeing Qiao Liang smiled bitterly, Zhang Lin said: "Humans are emotional animals, and people will change. I know that your relationship with Xinyi was very ordinary when he was in the newspaper office. They both had some opinions. But since Li Youwei had something wrong, since you and Xinyi were transferred to the ministry, especially when you saved Xinyi that time, her view of you seemed to have changed unknowingly."

"So you think I can be friends with her? So you think you can tell me?"

Zhang Lin nodded.

"Then you tell me." Since Zhang Lin said this, Qiao Liang was curious, he followed the situation.

Zhang Lin sighed and said softly: "I like to know her shortly after I worked in the newspaper office. At that time, I was a deputy section-level cadre of the Discipline Inspection Commission. My husband was the captain of the Criminal Police Brigade of Shizhong District, and Ning Hailong was my husband's deputy, serving as the deputy captain of the Criminal Police Brigade. At that time, Ning Hailong was not only tall and elegant, but also very capable, and was highly appreciated by my husband. In addition, Ning Hailong's family was also well-off, and his father Ning Zixuan was the director of the Municipal Party Committee Research Office.

Ning Hailong was single at that time and often came to my house for free. After a while, I also got to know him a little. When I learned that he had no girlfriend yet and Xinyi didn’t have a boyfriend at that time, so I wanted to match them up. With the support of my husband, I introduced them to each other. Ning Hailong immediately launched a fierce attack on Xinyi, picking and dropping off to get off work, sending flowers to watch movies, and often bringing gifts to visit Xinyi’s house.

At that time, Xinyi's family was in a difficult situation. My mother was seriously ill and was hospitalized and needed money for treatment. After Ning Hailong found out, he took out a large sum of money from his family and paid the treatment fee. He stayed at the hospital every few days and took care of her. She was very attentive and considerate and loved by her mother and moved her. Before her death, she took Xinyi and Ning Hailong's hands and entrusted her love to Ning Hailong..."
