When Ma Yuanxiang saw that her husband had woken up, she was very excited. She quickly stepped forward to support her husband and comforted her: "An Fu, what are you going to say, don't be excited, just say it slowly."

At this time, Qiao Liang also came to him. He knew that what Wang Anfu was going to say might have something to do with the iron ore.

Wang Anfu's eyes widened, and he suddenly grabbed Qiao Liang's hand with one hand, but his eyes looked at his wife, and kept saying, "Coffee...Coffee..."

But the following words were never said.

"An Fu, don't be anxious, just say whatever you want to say." Ma Yuanxiang was anxious as well.

The electrocardiogram monitor sounded sharply, and the curve above suddenly turned into a straight line. Wang Anfu, who had just opened his eyes, slowly closed his eyes and lowered his hands.

Qiao Liang felt that his hand was loose, as if he had no weight, and his heart sank. He looked up at Wang Anfu, and he was suddenly desperate.

Leaving.

Wang Anfu just left like that.

"An Fu, what do you want to say, say it slowly..." Ma Yuanxiang was still repeating this sentence, tears flowing down her face. She actually felt the signs of her husband losing his life, but she was unwilling to accept this harsh, cold and cruel fact.

Qiao Liang walked aside, held his head with his hands, and squatted down in annoyance. Last night, Wang Anfu said that he had not had much time, which might be a premonition of Wang Anfu himself, but Qiao Liang never expected that Wang Anfu would leave so quickly and leave so suddenly.

If I didn't go back last night, if I agreed to trade with Wang Anfu on the spot and transfer money directly to Wang Anfu, would I have grasped the ironclad evidence of the illegal crime of iron ore? Qiao Liang was now occupied by huge annoyance and full of regret. With just one step, it would have resulted in an irreversible result.

Next to the hospital bed, Ma Yuanxiang and his mother-in-law were already crying. After a while, Qiao Liang stood up and looked at the heartbroken Ma Yuanxiang. Qiao Liang didn't know how to comfort the other party, so he could only pat the other party on the shoulder and said, "Sad."

Unable to withstand the depressing atmosphere in the ward, Qiao Liang walked out and stood in the corridor. Qiao Liang frowned, sighed, and left the hospital.

When he returned to the office, Qiao Liang's annoyance calmed down a little, and he couldn't help but recall the word that Wang Anfu had been saying before leaving. Qiao Liang could only hear the other party's pronunciation as "gui". What exactly did Wang Anfu want to say? Cabinet or Gui, or Gui? What did the other party finally hint at him?

"Oh..." After thinking for a long time, Qiao Liang sighed in distress, and he was extremely irritated at this moment.

Qiao Liang sat for a while, and Ding Xiaoyun suddenly came over and greeted Qiao Liang: "Captain Qiao County, go and go to the city for a meeting. The city is going to hold a poverty alleviation work conference. Just after the notice, the top leader and the leaders in charge are required to attend."

"Oh, let's go." Qiao Liang nodded blankly, still thinking about Wang Anfu's affairs.

The two drove to the city. It happened that Ding Xiaoyun's driver had something to ask for leave at home today, so Qiao Liang was still driving.

On the way, Ding Xiaoyun saw Qiao Liang absent-mindedly and asked, "President Qiao, are you worried?"

Qiao Liang thought for a while and said, "Secretary Ding, how much do you know about iron ore?"

"Iron ore?" Ding Xiaoyun frowned and then shook his head, "I don't know much about iron ore. The stake was personally protected by the Chief Shang County, and no one allowed to take care of it."

"How much tax can the iron ore pay to the county in a year?" Qiao Liang asked again.

"I can't pay much, but I've caused a lot of trouble for the county." Ding Xiaoyun curled his lips.

"It seems that Secretary Ding doesn't know much about the annual output value of iron ore." Qiao Liang said.

"Well, I really don't know much about it. County Magistrate Shang doesn't let me take care of him, so why should I make it boring?" Ding Xiaoyun said with a wry smile.

From Ding Xiaoyun's words, Qiao Liang felt Ding Xiaoyun's helplessness as the top leader and various compromises to Shang Ke. Although Ding Xiaoyun is also trying to change the status quo, some things are not transferred by her will. The background behind Shang Ke is too strong, and Ding Xiaoyun cannot shake it at all, and dare not shake it.

While Qiao Liang was thinking, Ding Xiaoyun was also silently watching Qiao Liang. Qiao Liang's arrival caused some variables in the political situation of Liangbei County. Such variables are good for Ding Xiaoyun at present, and also made Ding Xiaoyun look forward to it more and more. Qiao Liang in the future still doesn't know how to stir up the political situation of Liangbei County like a stagnant pool.

"County Magistrate Qiao, why did you suddenly care about the iron ore?" Ding Xiaoyun asked on his own initiative.

"It's okay, isn't this curious? I saw that County Mayor Shang covered the iron ore like a treasure lump, so he was very curious about the iron ore." Qiao Liang said with a smile.

Ding Xiaoyun glanced at Qiao Liang. She didn't believe what Qiao Liang said. After thinking about it, Ding Xiaoyun said tactfully: "County Magistrate Qiao, we don't need to take care of the iron mine. We just need to do our own work well. The poverty alleviation work you are in charge has started well. You should continue to work hard and continue to move forward quickly while consolidating your current achievements. Next year, we will strive to surprise other brother counties."

"Don't worry, Secretary Ding, I will definitely do my job well." Qiao Liang nodded with a smile.

The two of them talked all the way. It was already evening when the car arrived in the city. Because there was occasional snow on the road, Qiao Liang didn't dare to drive too fast, so the driving time was much longer.

After a simple meal at the Xizhou Hotel, Qiao Liang and Ding Xiaoyun took a walk along the street outside the hotel when they were free.

The street where Xizhou Hotel is located is almost the most prosperous street in Xizhou City. The only four-star hotel in Xizhou is also on this street, not far from Xizhou Hotel.

As the two walked, Qiao Liang smelled the scent of the skewers and suddenly felt a lot of appetite. He was about to pull Ding Xiaoyun to eat a few skewers. Suddenly, he saw the person walking out of the door of the four-star hotel in front. Qiao Liang quickly pulled Ding Xiaoyun and walked to the side.

It's Shangke! Qiao Liang was secretly surprised, but he didn't expect that Shangke would come to Xizhou today!

I saw Shangke standing at the entrance of the hotel. After about a minute or two, a black car stopped at the entrance of the hotel. A middle-aged man got out of the car. The other party patted Shangke on the shoulder affectionately. The two walked into the hotel with a laugh and talking.

The person who got out of the car was Tengda.

Seeing this scene, Qiao Liang's face was a little gloomy.

Ding Xiaoyun also saw the scene in front of him and smiled helplessly: "County Magistrate Qiao, have you seen it? This is an advantage that County Magistrate Shang cannot match. Even the main leaders of the city must show goodwill to him. How do you think we are..."

Ding Xiaoyun didn't continue.

"Secretary Ding, you must have confidence. A great man once said, "Fighting with the sky, there will be endless joy. Fighting with the people, there will be endless joy." Qiao Liang grinned, "Don't lose confidence."

"Let's go and drink." Ding Xiaoyun suddenly felt a little excited. She was not as confident as Qiao Liang. Qiao Liang had been in the northwest for a short time. She had no idea how powerful Liu Changxing, who was behind Shang Ke, had in the northwest.

"Okay, let's have a skewers, which is just right with beer." Qiao Liang smiled.

The two walked away and found a skewer shop so that they would not accidentally be caught by Shang Ke and the others later.

After ordering a few plates of kebabs, Qiao Liang ordered a box of beer and started drinking with Ding Xiaoyun.

Ding Xiaoyun was obviously a little abnormal tonight and repeatedly clinked glasses with Qiao Liang. After a while, Ding Xiaoyun had already drank two bottles of beer.

"Miss Qiao, do you know that when I knew that my superiors were going to transfer me to the position of the secretary of Liangbei County, I was excited all night. I fantasized that after coming to Liangbei, I could make a big move, make a difference, do something, do something, and do something, and not in vain the organization's training, and not in vain the trust of my superiors. But after coming to Liangbei, I realized that things were not as beautiful as I thought. I wanted to make some changes to the current situation in Liangbei, but often couldn't even carry out work. I am the top leader and the government orders can't even get out of the county compound. You think, is it a decoration for me?"

Ding Xiaoyun looked bitter and took a sip of wine. He continued, "You said, I am not a clumsy as a secretary? Sometimes when it is late at night, I am lying alone in the dormitory. I think, I am useless. I want to do something for the people and do more things, but sometimes I can't even achieve this little wish."

"Secretary Ding, you have done a good job. The old saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning. You have taken the first step to success. I believe that it will get better and better in the future." Qiao Liang comforted. Looking at Ding Xiaoyun at this moment, Qiao Liang felt a little distressed. Ding Xiaoyun is no longer a top leader, but more like a weak woman who needs people to love and pity. As a woman, Ding Xiaoyun exposed her fragile side at this moment, but in Qiao Liang's eyes, such Ding Xiaoyun is more flesh and blood and more real.

"I hope so too." Ding Xiaoyun looked at Qiao Liang, "I have been transferred to Liangbei for several months. I have been doing nothing before. County Magistrate Shang is too strong and I can't do anything in many things. It was not until your arrival that I discovered that some mysterious changes have occurred in things. County Magistrate Qiao, to be honest, I am very glad that you can come to Liangbei to take up a job."

"I am also honored to be here in Liangbei and to know Secretary Ding." Qiao Liang and Ding Xiaoyun looked at each other, smiled and picked up the wine glass, "Secretary Ding, come, cheers for our friendship."

"Okay, cheers." Ding Xiaoyun responded loudly. At this moment, a red cloud had already appeared on her cheeks, but Ding Xiaoyun was still in a state of interest. After finishing the cup with Qiao Liang, Ding Xiaoyun continued to pour wine.

The two of them drank one cup after another, but in the end they didn't know that they drank a lot. Until Qiao Liang felt a little dizzy, he was afraid that he would get drunk if he drank it. Then he stopped quickly: "Secretary Ding, you can't drink it anymore. If you drink it again, it will be a big problem for us to walk back."

"It's okay, drink... and drink." Ding Xiaoyun's words were knotted, and she was actually drunk.

"Secretary Ding, stop drinking, it's time to go back. Let's find a chance to drink next time." Qiao Liang quickly dissuaded him. After drinking, both of them had to lie down. Ding Xiaoyun was obviously drunk.

After paying the bill, Qiao Liang spent all his energy to help Ding Xiaoyun back to the hotel. Ding Xiaoyun, who was already drunk, seemed to have fallen asleep and his body was half hanging on Qiao Liang.

"It's quite heavy." He helped Ding Xiaoyun to lie down on the bed, Qiao Liang breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the head of the bed. He felt dizzy now. He was drunk, and Qiao Liang just wanted to lie down and have a good sleep.

While dizzy, Qiao Liang was about to get up, but suddenly he was pulled by a hand stretched out from behind.
