Su Yan stayed at Chu Heng's house for nearly half an hour. After leaving Chu Heng's house, Su Yan breathed a sigh of relief and just responded to Chu Heng's repeated questions. In this way, Chu Heng would not doubt her and Qiao Liang's relationship for the time being.

Taking the elevator to the underground garage, Su Yan got into her car, and flipped out a pack of women's cigarettes from the handrail box on the car, took out one and lit it, and sat in the car to suck the clouds and smog.

Su Yan doesn’t smoke much, but whenever she is under great mental stress, Su Yan will use cigarettes to relieve her tension.

After smoking a cigarette, Su Yan started the car and left the community.

When she returned to her home, Su Yan took a cold shower, took out her cell phone and called Qiao Liang.

On the phone, Qiao Liang seemed to have guessed that Su Yan would call her. As soon as the phone was answered, Qiao Liang asked, "Have you come out of his house?"

"Well, I've returned to my own house and just finished taking a shower." Su Yan nodded.

"It's so fast, I thought he would keep you here and do something." Qiao Liang laughed.

"What do you mean?" Su Yan's face looked ugly, "Don't you just want to say I'm dirty?"

"I didn't mean that. I was thinking that he asked you to come over. Seeing a beautiful woman like you, it's hard to guarantee that you won't have any ideas." Qiao Liang explained with a smile, "The main reason is that you are too beautiful."

"You can barely pass the explanation." Su Yan snorted, "I can tell you clearly that since I pretended to be a boyfriend and girlfriend, he and I have never done that again."

Qiao Liang twitched when he heard this. Even if you had done that with Chu Heng, it had nothing to do with me. You two have done it before. I don’t know how many times you have done it before.

Without getting involved in this topic, Qiao Liang knew that it was not a fun thing to make this woman angry. He tactfully changed the topic and asked, "Did he ask you if he asked us to get married?"

"That's right, and he asked us if we've done it." Su Yan nodded and said, "I think we've been dating for a long time. If we told him that we haven't done it, he would inevitably be suspicious. I made up an excuse and said that you are not good at that. If he asks, remember to keep things smooth and don't reveal the truth."

"Damn, you said that I was not good at that?" Qiao Liang widened his eyes. "What are you making up the reason? But if this matter is accidentally spread, where will you put my face?"

"Then is there any way? I don't want him to doubt it. I can only make up a reliable reason. This reason also evaded the fact that we didn't want to get married, so he didn't ask any more questions." Su Yan laughed, "You can't blame me for this. I'm also thinking about our cooperation. If he gets suspicious, will we have a good harvest? So in order not to make him doubt it, I can only use a big move."

"I think you did it on purpose and deliberately bury me." Qiao Liang snorted, "Dare you dare to say that I am not good at that aspect. Have you tried it? Believe it or not, I will ask you to beg for mercy?"

"Come on, if you have the courage, come now. I'll wait for you. The puppy is not coming." Su Yan said with a smile, and she stimulated Qiao Liang intentionally or unintentionally. She wanted Qiao Liang to come.

Hearing Su Yan's words, Qiao Liang curled his lips. It seemed that there was no way to gain advantage from Su Yan. He also knew Su Yan's idea, but he just didn't want to touch Su Yan. When he thought of Su Yan and Chu Heng having done it, Qiao Liang felt boring.

Thinking of this, Qiao Liang was too lazy to say anything and said, "It's nothing, I'll just die first."

"You have to remember what I told you, don't reveal your feelings when you look back." Su Yan emphasized again.

"Don't worry, I understand." Qiao Liang nodded.

After hanging up the phone, Qiao Liang sat on the sofa and pondered. Chu Heng was a sinister and cunning man. He had always wanted to control him, but he could not sit still and wait for death. However, Chu Heng was suspicious and cautious everywhere. It was very difficult to catch Chu Heng's handle. Thinking of this, Qiao Liang was a little discouraged. He asked the third brother's apprentice Wang Xiao to investigate Chu Heng before, but he got nothing. It can be seen how cautious Chu Heng was. The other party was definitely not without a handle on illegal and discipline, but it was hidden too deeply, so there was nowhere to start.

Looking back, the third brother still has to find a way to stare at Chu Heng and Qiao Liang silently thought.

The night passed quickly. The next day, Qiao Liang visited Zhang Haitao and Xu Honggang first. After lunch, Qiao Liang took Feng Yunming's car to Songbei together.

Qiao Liang was undoubtedly grateful to Zhang Haitao. In the previous team meeting, Qiao Liang learned about the situation at the team meeting from Liu Yiping and knew that Zhang Haitao had also spoken for him. Therefore, Zhang Haitao also contributed to his extraordinary promotion this time. Even though Zhang Haitao did not play a decisive role, he had to grasp this relationship no matter what.

As for Xu Honggang, Qiao Liang knew that Xu Honggang did not speak for him at the team meeting, but Qiao Liang obviously could not blame Xu Honggang for this. No matter what, Xu Honggang was his old leader and helped him when he was in trouble. So when he came back this time, Qiao Liang felt that he should have visited Xu Honggang for granted this time.

In Xu Honggang's office, Qiao Liang stayed for less than twenty minutes. For some reason, Qiao Liang always felt that there was a vague gap between Xu Honggang and him now. Both of them seemed to have suddenly become polite, no longer as casual as before. Xu Honggang's attitude towards him was polite and a little distant.

After leaving Xu Honggang, Qiao Liang also wondered whether to go to Mayor Guo Xing'an. He knew that he could be promoted this time. The key role played in the city was Mayor Guo Xing'an. Without Guo Xing'an's support, it was obviously difficult for him to become the county magistrate of Songbei this time, but he and Guo Xing'an had no acquaintance and were worried that it was inappropriate for him to take the liberty to go there. Finally, Qiao Liang simply called An Zhe to ask for An Zhe's opinions.

On the phone, An Zhe told Qiao Liang that he would visit Guo Xing'an even though he was in public or private. He should go and visit Guo Xing'an and express his gratitude to Guo Xing'an, especially since he worked in Songbei County in the future. Guo Xing'an's support will definitely be necessary in the future. It is necessary to visit Guo Xing'an's dock in advance. Therefore, after calling An Zhe, Qiao Liang went to the city compound again. As a result, he was told that Guo Xing'an had gone down to inspect and investigate. He was not in the office during the day. After hearing this result, Qiao Liang gave up and thought that it would not be too late to come back to the city to visit Guo Xing'an again. Moreover, he had been there today, and the office staff would probably tell Guo Xing'an.

Sitting in Feng Yunming's car, Qiao Liang was watching the scenery outside while chatting with Feng Yunming. The distance from the city to Songbei is not very far. It takes about an hour to drive after getting on the expressway. Qiao Liang has walked this short journey many times before, but never as excited as he is now.

The landscapes on both sides of the road are still the same, but the moods of the people passing by are different.

In the past, Qiao Liang followed the leader as a follower, but this time, Qiao Liang wanted to go to Songbei with a master's attitude and serve as the county magistrate of Songbei. The different mentality also made Qiao Liang's mood particularly different.

Feng Yunming seemed to see Qiao Liang's excitement and smiled and said, "Xiao Qiao, I'm about to take office. What do you think?"

"I feel like working hard and not letting down the organization's expectations for me." Qiao Liang smiled.

"I didn't tell the truth." Feng Yunming smiled and pointed at Qiao Liang, and said with emotion, "I seemed to be a deputy at your age. I felt very awesome at that time, complacent and arrogant. Thinking about it now, the situation was too small at that time, just like a frog in the well. Compared with you, it was simply the first underground in the sky. Alas, time passed too quickly, and time was a killer, and I was old unknowingly..."

"Minister Feng, don't say that. I think you are still young." Qiao Liang said.

"I'm half old, how can I be young?" Feng Yunming smiled, "Xiao Qiao, you're not right in flattery."

"Minister Feng, then you are still strong." Qiao Liang smiled again.

Feng Yunming smiled when he heard this and said that he was getting stronger and stronger. Although he was not young, he was still very healthy. Sometimes he would not feel tired even if he worked overtime for one or two consecutive nights. In terms of physical fitness, no one in the city who was about the same age as him could compare to him. Unfortunately, he had reached the level of the deputy department at this age, and it was almost impossible for him to take another step in the future. Feng Yunming often felt helpless because the organization had strict age restrictions on the promotion of cadres.

The two talked and laughed. When they arrived at the Songbei County compound, Miao Peilong had already brought the team members to welcome Feng Yunming's arrival in the compound.

When Feng Yunming got off the car, Miao Peilong greeted him with a smile on his face: "Minister Feng, welcome you to Songbei."

"Secretary Peilong, I sent Comrade Qiao Liang to Songbei this time. Our protagonist today is Comrade Qiao Liang." Feng Yunming smiled and pointed at Qiao Liang who got off the car from the other side.

Miao Peilong turned his head to look at Qiao Liang, and reluctantly smiled and said, "Well, Comrade Qiao Liang is welcome to work in Songbei."

"Hello Secretary Miao." Qiao Liang smiled and said hello to Miao Peilong.

When Qiao Liang saw Miao Peilong, he couldn't help but feel a little excited and kind. After all, the two were once as close as brothers. After all, in Qiao Liang's eyes, Miao Peilong has always been his eldest brother Miao.

But seeing Miao Peilong's faint expression and a chilling look, Qiao Liang immediately returned to reality, knowing that his relationship with Miao Peilong is no longer the same as before, and knowing that Miao Peilong is still resentful of his misunderstandings in the past.

This made an unspeakable pain surge in Qiao Liang's heart, and this pain made him sigh secretly.

"Okay, we won't waste our time. We will go to the conference room for a meeting. Today I will complete the task of escorting Comrade Qiao Liang and have to return to the city." Feng Yunming said with a smile.

"Minister Feng, so anxious? Our county has prepared a dinner party in the evening. Don't you stay for dinner?" Miao Peilong insisted.

"No, there are opportunities in the future. I have more work recently. I will go back directly after the meeting." Feng Yunming waved his hand with a smile.

When Miao Peilong heard this, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes and he didn't say anything more.

Next, Qiao Liang greeted the county team members one by one. At this time, Qiao Liang also noticed Xu Chan standing behind Miao Peilong. Seeing Xu Chan also staring at him, Qiao Liang calmly cast a look at Xu Chan.
