When the car returned to the county courtyard, Qiao Liang came to Shangke's office. Shangke seemed to be waiting for him. The office door was open. As soon as Qiao Liang walked to the door, he saw Shangke sitting behind the desk smoking with his legs crossed his arms, staring at the door of the office.

Symbol Xing knocked on the door and Qiao Liang walked in.

"Oh, did Deputy County Mayor Qiao go to the wrong door?" Shang Ke smiled and teased.

"This is County Mayor Shang's office. I'm not blind yet, so of course I won't go to the wrong door." Qiao Liang said lightly, ignoring Shang Ke's jokes and staring at the other party carefully, "How do I feel... County Mayor Shang seems to be waiting for me?"

Shang Ke was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Qiao Liang to ask this suddenly, a hint of discomfort flashed in his eyes, and he curled his lips and said, "Deputy County Magistrate Qiao, are you okay with me? Don't disturb my work if you have nothing to do, I'm very busy."

Seeing Shang Ke's expression, Qiao Liang thought about it and said calmly: "Of course it's a big deal for me to come to see County Mayor Shang."

"What's the big deal?" Shang Ke glanced at Qiao Liang.

"Did County Mayor Shang know that something happened to Jiangdong Commercial Group to help our Liangbei Rou Products Processing Factory project?" Qiao Liang looked at Shangke. Although he had some speculations in his mind, he still told Shangke about the matter.

When Shang Ke heard that the Rou Products Processing Factory project was set on fire, he showed a surprised expression on his face at the right time, and then laughed: "It seems that the iron ore boss is right to me. Most places in the pastoral areas are remote and desolate, and there are troublemakers in the poor villages. I didn't expect it to be true. Look at this assistance project, this is a project that benefits the people in the pastoral areas. There are people who set it on fire. It's simply bold and unreasonable."

"County Magistrate Shang thinks it was done by the pastoral people?" Qiao Liang looked at Shang Ke.

"Or what if it were? The rou product project was built there, who else could do it?" Shang Ke smacked his lips.

"Who did it? It's not that we just say it, but that there must be evidence." Qiao Liang was too lazy to argue about this, saying, "County Magistrate Shang, I came here to discuss with you how to ensure the safety of the construction site of the Rou Products Processing Factory project."

"This is the job under the charge of Deputy County Mayor Qiao, just make the decision by himself." Shang Ke said laughably.

"Although this is my job, I also need the assistance of other departments here. Just like when someone sets fire on the project site this time, to ensure that such a thing will not happen next time, the local township government and public security departments need to work together to ensure the safety of the construction site." Qiao Liang looked at Shang Ke, "so this requires County Mayor Shang to come forward to coordinate."

"Deputy County Mayor Qiao is also a team leader. You can't just say it yourself. Could it be that they will not listen to your words?" Shang Ke continued to laugh.

"It is because I don't speak well that County Magistrate Shang is needed." Qiao Liang looked serious. He saw that Shang Ke was completely distracted and did not feel at ease about this matter. He couldn't help but say, "County Magistrate Shang, you should know that this assistance project was registered in the province. If something happens all the time and the provincial leaders are finally alarmed, do you think the consequences are serious?"

"Is Deputy County Magistrate Qiao threatening me with the leaders of the province?" Shang Ke snorted coldly.

"That's not. I'm just reminding County Magistrate Shang to pay attention to this matter. After all, Jiangdong Commercial Group is here to help our Liangbei with real money. If there are always problems during the construction process, even if our county pretends not to see it, Jiangdong Commercial Group will not sit idly by and care? If Jiangdong Commercial Group directly reports to our provincial leaders, the criticism will definitely be our county. Instead of being criticized at that time, it's better to take the initiative now. County Magistrate Shang, don't you?" Qiao Liang said seriously.

Hearing Qiao Liang's words, Shang Ke's face changed and nodded: "Well, Deputy County Magistrate Qiao is right. I will say hello to County Magistrate Feng, first, let them solve the case as soon as possible. Secondly, before they solve the case, let them work with the village to come up with a safe and feasible method to ensure the safety of the project site... Deputy County Magistrate Qiao, are you satisfied with this?"

"If County Mayor Shang really does what he says, I will certainly be satisfied." Qiao Liang looked at Shang Ke, and his heart was slightly moved. Shang Ke suddenly became so easy to speak?

"Deputy County Magistrate Qiao, since that's the case, there's nothing else to do, you can leave." Shang Ke spoke to drive people away.

"Okay, don't bother County Magistrate Shang anymore." Qiao Liang didn't want to stay here either.

As soon as Qiao Liang left, Zhao Hongjin, the director of the government office, walked in and said with a smile: "Deputy County Mayor Qiao is leaving?"

"That's right, I finally sent him away. He probably really thought I was going to help him." Shang Ke grinned.

"County Magistrate Shang, will this matter alarm the province?" Zhao Hongjin also expressed his concerns.

"What are we afraid of? As long as we do the work we should do, even if the province sends people, we can't tell you the problem." Shang Ke became ridiculous and said to Zhao Hongjin what he had just dealt with Qiao Liang, saying, "If you turn around, you will serve as the county bureau and the township people, and let them do the superficial work."

When Zhao Hongjin heard Shangke's words, he also laughed and understood Shangke's intention.

In Qiao Liang's office, after returning from Shang Ke, Qiao Liang locked himself in the office, sat alone, took out a cigarette and lit it, and thought silently that he had to figure things out. Recently, Qiao Liang found that his cigarette addiction was getting bigger and bigger, and he was worried by the work. Damn, this deputy county magistrate in charge of poverty alleviation is really hard to be.

The phone interrupted Qiao Liang's thoughts. He took out his cell phone and saw that it was an unfamiliar number. Qiao Liang frowned and answered.

"County Magistrate Qiao, are you free tonight? I want to treat you to dinner." A strange male voice rang out from the other end of the phone.

"Who are you?" Qiao Liang took his phone in front of him and looked at the number again, confirming that he was not someone he knew.

"It doesn't matter who I am. What's important is that maybe I can help County Mayor Qiao solve the safety issues on the construction site." The other party smiled.

"Is that true?" Qiao Liang sat upright, "Who are you?"

"I will know when County Magistrate Qiao comes out tonight. I will welcome County Magistrate Qiao at Liangping Hotel tonight." The other party hung up the phone after saying that.

Not long after, Qiao Liang received a message, sent by a strange man, which mentioned the box number for dinner tonight.

Holding the phone, Qiao Liang pondered for a moment and chuckled: "It's a bit interesting."

In the evening, Qiao Liang came to Liangping Hotel for a banquet. In the private room, Qiao Liang saw a middle-aged man fiddling with his cell phone. When he saw Qiao Liang enter the door, he stood up and greeted him with a smile on his face: "Oh, County Magistrate Qiao is here, I am in no way happy to welcome him."

"Your Excellency..." Qiao Liang looked at the fake smile on the other person's face, which was no longer fake, and said lightly.

"County Magistrate Qiao, you sit first, let's eat and chat." The man smiled.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Liang looked at the other person and walked to the chair to sit down.

"County Magistrate Qiao, do you want to have two drinks?" the man smiled.

"No need, we are not familiar with each other, we have something to say." Qiao Liang waved his hand indifferently.

"Okay, County Qiao is precious for a long time, so I will just say it. County Qiao, I have opened a construction company and want to contract the construction project of the Rou product processing factory." The man said directly.

Qiao Liang was stunned when he heard this. Thinking of what the other party said on the phone during the day, Qiao Liang smiled angry: "Is this the premise of ensuring the safety of the construction site?"

"That's right, as long as I can contract the project of the Rou Products Processing Factory, I will definitely be able to ensure the safety of the construction site and will never let the masked people who set fire to cause damage again."

"I mean, you are instructing those masked men who set fire?" Qiao Liang stared at the other party.

"No, how could that be possible?" The man realized that he might have missed his mouth, and waved his hand quickly and explained, "County Magistrate Qiao, I mean that if I were asked to contract the project of the Rou Products Processing Factory, then I have a way to deal with the masked people who set fire so that they dare not make trouble again."

"Is that true?" Qiao Liang stared at the man, "Then tell me, what are you going to do."

"Haha, my solution is a local method, but it is guaranteed to be absolutely effective. I won't say much about it here." The man said.

Qiao Liang heard the other party's words and knew that the other party was deliberately keeping him indifferent. When he remembered Liang Wen's previous words, Qiao Liang felt a move and asked: "I once heard Mr. Liang, the person in charge of the Rou Products Processing Factory, say that someone had called him and said that he wanted to contract the Rou Products Processing Factory project. Isn't that the person the person is you, right?"

"I did call Mr. Liang." The man smiled and nodded.

"So, you threatened Mr. Liang at that time?"

"Ha, I'm just kidding Mr. Liang, how can I threaten him?"

Hearing the man's words, Qiao Liang's guess was confirmed a little again, and a rage burned from Qiao Liang's heart. Combined with the situation he had learned before, Qiao Liang had confirmed that behind this matter was Shang Ke and others who were doing it behind the scenes.

Damn, I worked hard to help the pastoral people get rid of poverty. It would be fine if these bastards don’t support them. Not only did they drag their backs on their backs, but they also wanted to make profits from the assistance projects and make a living. It was simply a shame.

He was already angry, Qiao Liang's face was quiet and asked again: "The Rou Products Processing Factory project is an assistance project of Jiangdong Commercial Group, and they also handled it by themselves. If you want to contract this project, shouldn't you go to Mr. Liang again? Why did you come to me?"

"Is County Magistrate Qiao bullying me and I don't understand the inside story? Anyone with a discerning eye knows that finding County Magistrate Qiao is actually more effective than finding that General Liang. As long as General Qiao speaks, General Liang will definitely listen to General Qiao." The man said.

"It seems that you know the inside story very well. Which expert is guiding you behind your back?" Qiao Liang said with a smile.

"I found out myself." The man laughed.

"Okay, I know the matter. What is your company's name? Let's find out first when you look back." Qiao Liang said lightly.

"Liangping Xingda Construction Co., Ltd.." The man smiled, "County Magistrate Qiao, you have to reply to me as soon as possible, otherwise I am afraid that if the masked people come to set fire again, it will not only cause losses to the construction site, but also greatly affect the construction progress in the future."

"Well, I will get to know it as soon as possible." Qiao Liang nodded and controlled his emotions tightly.

"Then let's do it for now. I'll leave in advance." Qiao Liang stood up and didn't want to stay for a moment.

"County Magistrate Qiao, are you not going to eat?" The man smiled and tried to keep him.

"No need, you can eat it yourself." Qiao Liang left without looking back.

After coming out of the box, Qiao Liang was so angry that he gritted his teeth. The bastard was clearly threatening him in the end! It means that if he agreed as soon as possible, the masked man would soon set fire again.

He was already surprised to be angry, but Qiao Liang felt deeply saddened at this moment. Why is it so difficult to do something in the system? He was a cadre who came from another place to work and wanted to work hard to do something for the poor people. Why are these local cadres so insensitive? He didn't even have a trace of the conscience of being a cadre.

Qiao Liang was angry, and his cell phone suddenly rang. Seeing that it was He Qingqing's call, Qiao Liang was a little confused. Why did He Qingqing call him at this time?

"Director He, what's the matter?" Qiao Liang answered the phone and asked.

"County Magistrate Qiao, he...he is dead..." He Qingqing heard intermittently, sad and terrified voices from the other end of the phone.

"Who is dead?" Qiao Liang was shocked and asked anxiously.

Then He Qingqing told Qiao Liang.
