Wen Yuan and Liu Bentao were in Zhang Haitao's office. The two sat on the couch together, and Zhang Haitao sat opposite them.

At this time, the three of them had smiles on their faces, and the atmosphere looked harmonious and harmonious.

Seeing Qiao Liang, Wen Yuan and Liu Bentao looked at each other, and then, at the same time, a happy and sarcastic smile appeared on both of them, and then disappeared.

Zhang Haitao waved to Qiao Liang: "Director Qiao, come in, come in-"

Qiao Liang went in and nodded at Wenyuan and Liu Bentao: "Hello Director Wen, hello Director Liu."

"Master Qiao...oh no, Deputy Editor-in-Chief Qiao!" Wen Yuan smiled at Qiao Liang as he said.

Liu Bentao simply said: "Hello, Deputy Editor-in-Chief Qiao."

At this time, Zhang Haitao, Wen Yuan and Liu Bentao's different names for Qiao Liang seemed to be meaningful.

Qiao Liang continued: "Dear leaders are talking about things, so I won't bother you now, come here later."

After saying that, Qiao Liang wanted to quit.

"Oh, no need." Zhang Haitao called Qiao Liang, "The two deputy secretary-generals just finished handing over the work and came to report to me. We have almost finished talking..."

Wen Yuan and Liu Bentao looked at each other. Since Zhang Haitao said that, it means they should say goodbye.

So the two stood up and Wen Yuan said: "Secretary-General, I have just taken over the work of the research room. If you have any instructions in the future, the Secretary-General will give you the order."

Zhang Haitao laughed: "Lao Wen, I remember that you worked in the laboratory for a long time before. I believe you should be familiar with the work in the laboratory. I believe that you will not have any problems when you return to your old job."

Wen Yuan nodded with a smile and muttered in his heart, "Damn it, why doesn't this sound very pleasant?"

Liu Bentao continued: "Secretary-General, please give more guidance to the office work in the future, and I will report to you more."

"Well..." Zhang Haitao nodded, "Just make me worry less."

Liu Bentao blinked, and Zhang Haitao seemed to have something in his words. What does it mean to worry less? Don’t cause trouble for him? Or don’t make small moves for him behind his back?

Without thinking too much, Wen Yuan and Liu Bentao nodded respectfully at Zhang Haitao and then went out.

After they left, Zhang Haitao waved to Qiao Liang: "Brother, come and sit down."

Qiao Liang sat opposite Zhang Haitao.

"Brother, are you here to say goodbye to me, right?" Zhang Haitao said.

Qiao Liang nodded: "Yes, Secretary-General, Director Liu and I have just finished handing over."

A trace of sadness flashed in Zhang Haitao's eyes: "Brother, I haven't fulfilled my boss's instructions, so I can't keep you..."

Qiao Liang was moved: "Secretary-General, under the current situation, you have tried your best, and I understand it."

Zhang Haitao patted Qiao Liang on the shoulder: "At least it is a flat remedy, and you will have the green mountains left, so you will not have to worry about the lack of firewood. A temporary bump does not mean that you will always be rugged, and a temporary discomfort does not mean that you will be... "

Zhang Haitao didn't continue talking.

Qiao Liang nodded: "Secretary-General, I understand what you mean. In fact, I have been mentally prepared for this day, and even now the arrangements for me are better than I expected."

"The current arrangement..." Zhang Haitao pondered, "Brother, although there seems to be no problem with the current arrangement, you must be vigilant to prevent any problems in it."

"Secretary-General, what you mean..." Qiao Liang looked at Zhang Haitao tentatively.

Zhang Haitao simply said: "What I mean is very simple, that is, someone may not let you go easily. This time, this time, you may not be able to go to the newspaper office, and there may not be any ulterior motives and scheming in it."

Qiao Liang felt a stern in his heart and looked at Zhang Haitao in a daze. It seemed that he had thought of a lot, as if he had thought of something he hadn't had time to think about yet.

Zhang Haitao then smiled: "Brother, actually from another perspective, this adjustment may not be a bad thing for you. At least, if you leave the commission office and the courtyard, you can stay away from the vortex of struggle."

Qiao Liang also smiled: "Secretary-General, your words seem to be comforting me."

"No!" Zhang Haitao shook his head seriously, "After the boss was transferred, you left the power center organization. On the one hand, you were exiled in the name of being openly ruthless, but on the other hand, this is good for you."

Qiao Liang blinked and couldn't help but start to think about Zhang Haitao's words.

Then Zhang Haitao said: "Our host cares so much about me. He specially appointed me two brand new and capable deputy secretary-generals."

Qiao Liang calmed down and said with some concern: "Secretary-General, these two deputy secretary-generals... you should be more careful..."

"I know this in my mind. If the soldiers come to block the enemy, the water comes to cover the earth. Let's see if they have any tricks, just use them." Zhang Haitao looked calm.

Qiao Liang thought for a while and then said, "Secretary-General, Director Liu, who will replace me..."

"I know that Liu Yiping is Minister Chu's person, and I know why she was arranged to take over you. You don't need to remind me of this." Zhang Haitao interrupted Qiao Liang with a smile.

Qiao Liang shook his head: "Secretary-General, that's not what I mean."

"Hmm? You mean..." Zhang Haitao looked at Qiao Liang.

Qiao Liang lowered his voice: "Secretary-General, I want to tell you that Director Liu is worthy of your trust in his position as deputy director of the Commission Office."

"I deserve my trust?" Zhang Haitao frowned, "Brother, what does this mean?"

"Let me say that, first, she will try her best to deal with certain people, second, she will not disappoint you whether at work or in other aspects." Qiao Liang said.

"Oh..." Zhang Haitao blinked, "I originally planned to replace all the departments under Liu Yiping's charge after a while, so that she can only be in charge of logistics. If you say this, it seems..."

"There is no need for this. First, her ability is enough to be competent for her current position. Second, she..." Qiao Liang then leaned into Zhang Haitao's ear and whispered a few times.

After hearing Qiao Liang say this, Zhang Haitao looked at Qiao Liang: "Brother, make sure?"

"No problem." Qiao Liang nodded affirmatively.

"Yes." Zhang Haitao nodded, "Since you said that, I naturally have to believe it."

"Thank you for your trust in the Secretary-General." Qiao Liang said.

"It seems that you have a deep personal relationship with Liu Yiping? You know her well?" Zhang Haitao said.

"It's almost the same." Qiao Liang said vaguely.

"How deep is this personal relationship? How much does it have to be understood?" Zhang Haitao said with interest.

"This..." Qiao Liang scratched his head, "Secretary-General, can we change the topic?"

Zhang Haitao laughed: "Okay, don't ask anymore, come and change the topic... You have been adjusted to the newspaper this time, are you planning to report to the boss?"

"No." Qiao Liang shook his head decisively.

"Why?" Zhang Haitao said.

"Because I'm going downhill now, I don't want my boss to know that I'm worried about me, and I don't want to cause trouble for my boss." Qiao Liang said.

Zhang Haitao looked at Qiao Liang with admiration: "Brother, it's worth it that you have been around you! But do you think the boss will not know about the personnel adjustment in Jiangzhou this time?"

"Maybe he will know sooner or later, but I still don't want to tell him personally." Qiao Liang said.

"Yes." Zhang Haitao nodded, "Go to the newspaper office to take office. Do you want me to send you there? Or I will call Minister Song to join the organization department..."

Qiao Liang was immediately moved. He knew what Zhang Haitao said. He wanted to bring Song Liang to the newspaper to stand up for him.

But Qiao Liang didn't want this. First, when Song Liang had just arrived in Jiangzhou, Qiao Liang was unwilling to let outsiders see what special things he had to him; second, Zhang Haitao's current situation is not easy, and in this case, he doesn't want to cause trouble for Zhang Haitao.

Qiao Liang immediately thanked him and said, "Secretary-General, I don't want to bother the leader. I am very familiar with the people in the newspaper and don't need anyone to send them. I want to report to the newspaper myself tomorrow."

Zhang Haitao looked at Qiao Liang without saying a word.

Qiao Liang said again: "Secretary-General, what I am saying is the truth."

Zhang Haitao was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, then let's do it... Brother, remember, although you left the commission office, left the courtyard, and left me, you can contact me at any time, and my phone number will be open for you 24 hours a day."

Zhang Haitao's words touched Qiao Liang deeply. He clearly felt Zhang Haitao's care and love for him. He clearly felt that there was not only a superior-level and subordinate-level working relationship, but also a layer of friendship.

This friendship seems to be inaccessible to An Zhe.

Qiao Liang suddenly thought, humanely, within the system, there is only eternal interests, no eternal friendship. So, how can I explain the relationship between himself and An Zhe and Zhang Haitao? According to this logic, although this friendship can be, it cannot withstand the test of interests?

Qiao Liang subconsciously denied it.

He chatted with Zhang Haitao for a while, then Qiao Liang said goodbye and left.

As soon as Qiao Liang left, Zhang Haitao took out his cell phone and started dialing, saying for a moment: "Secretary An..."

Qiao Liang returned to the office, and Liu Yiping was still there.

"Have you finished quitting with the Secretary-General?" Liu Yiping said.

"Yes." Qiao Liang nodded, "Yiping, do your job in charge with peace of mind in the future. The Secretary-General will trust you and will give strong support to your work."

Liu Yiping's eyes lit up: "What did you say to the Secretary-General about me?"

"I told him what he should say." Qiao Liang said perfunctorily.

"Can you tell me the specific content?" Liu Yiping was very curious.

Qiao Liang shook his head: "There is no need for this."

Liu Yiping pursed her lips: "Okay, thank you."

"No need to thank you between you and me." Qiao Liang said.

"But I still want to thank you." Liu Yiping said stubbornly.

Qiao Liang smiled and then mentioned his own things: "From now on, this office belongs to you."

"I like to work in the office you have been to, because, here, I can often breathe your taste." Liu Yiping said affectionately and sadly.

Qiao Liang looked at Liu Yiping silently, looking at this woman who once brought her great physical and mental happiness, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Yesterday was like the flowing water, the past may never come back, and the past may be destined to become the eternal past.

"I'm leaving." Qiao Liang whispered.

"Yes." Liu Yiping nodded, "I'll give it to you."

"No—" Qiao Liang shook his head, "When you leave this door, you and I are just ordinary exes and followers."

"You--" Liu Yiping stared at Qiao Liang in a daze.

"You are a smart woman and you should understand what I mean." Qiao Liang said meaningfully.

Liu Yiping sighed and lowered her head: "I understand."

Qiao Liang then walked to the door and turned around and smiled at Liu Yiping.

Liu Yiping also tried hard to smile, with unconcealed sadness in her smile.
