After a while, Xiao Zheng came back, Qiao Liang asked him: "Minister Xu is back?"

Xiao Zheng shook his head.

"Minister Xu is staying at home tonight?" Qiao Liang asked again.

Xiao Zheng nodded.

"What kind of work does Minister Xu's lover do? How old is the child? Boy or girl?" Qiao Liang was curious for a moment.

"I don't know." Xiao Zheng smiled honestly and then went into the bathroom to take a shower.

Qiao Liang shook his head. Although Xiao Zheng looked honest, he was very smart and had a very strict tone.

The next morning, Xu Honggang and Ye Xinyi went to a meeting. Qiao Liang followed Xu Honggang to provide services. He was not as good as the attendance, so he went out for a walk when he had nothing to do.

I walked to Huangyuan Ancient Street. The ancient street is famous for its old buildings in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, but it has been commercialized in recent years. The old buildings along the street have become shops, and the ones inside have become family hotels.

The weather is good today and there are many tourists.

Walking on the narrow bluestone road, Qiao Liang visited the shop with interest.

"Auntie, come and see." At this time, a crisp childish voice caught Qiao Liang's attention. Following the sound, a girl in her 10s was calling out to the side of a shop selling hidden jewelry. A 37-8-year-old woman stood beside her. The woman had a good appearance and a gentle face.

"Hey, here we come." A woman in casual clothes walked over.

When Qiao Liang saw this woman, hey, isn’t this Fang Xiaoya? She is here to Huangyuan.

Qiao Liang walked over slowly, Fang Xiaoya, the woman and the little girl were looking at the hidden jewelry together, commenting.

"Cousin, do you like this?" Fang Xiaoya picked up a lingerie and said.

"Mom, you must look good when you wear this." The little girl jumped and said.

Qiao Liang nodded, it turned out that this woman was Fang Xiaoya's cousin and the girl was this woman's daughter.

Qiao Liang walked behind Fang Xiaoya, reached out and suddenly patted Fang Xiaoya on the shoulder: "Xiaoya——"

"Ah--" Fang Xiaoya was startled, turned around and saw that it was Qiao Liang, and happily punched Qiao Liang in the chest, "Damn Qiao Liang, bad guy, you scare me!"

Qiao Liang looked at Fang Xiaoya with a smile.

"Cousin, this is my college classmate Qiao Liang. Now he is working in the Propaganda Department of Jiangzhou Municipal Party Committee." Fang Xiaoya introduced to her cousin and said to Qiao Liang, "My cousin He Li."

"Hello cousin." Qiao Liang greeted politely.

He Li looked at Qiao Liang, her eyes lit up, and then she smiled kindly: "So you are Qiao Liang. The young man is so handsome. No wonder Xiaoya has been obsessed with you in the United States for so many years."

Listening to He Li's words, it seems that she has been in the United States for many years.

The little girl said at this time, "Big brother and my father are colleagues."

Qiao Liang was shocked. What does the little girl mean? Colleague? Who is her father?

He Li angrily said to the little girl: "Ni Ni, don't be rude, you should call me uncle." Then she apologized and smiled at Qiao Liang.

Nini stuck out her tongue and made a face.

Qiao Liang bent down and looked at Nini with a smile: "Nini, who is your father?"

"Hehe, guess?" Nini covered her mouth and smiled.

Qiao Liang looked at Fang Xiaoya and He Li, and they both laughed but didn't say anything.

Qiao Liang scratched his scalp and said to Nini: "Uncle is stupid, I can't guess it. Can you tell me what your name is?"

"My name is Xu Nini."

"Ah--" Qiao Liang couldn't help but lose his voice. There were only three people with the surname Xu in the Municipal Party Committee Propaganda Department. Except for Xu Honggang, the two were all women.

Obviously, Nini's father is Xu Honggang and He Li is Xu Honggang's wife.

In this way, Xu Honggang is Fang Xiaoya’s cousin’s husband!

This unexpected discovery surprised Qiao Liang. He never dreamed that Fang Xiaoya and Xu Honggang would have such a relationship!

A question that had been bothering Qiao Liang for a long time suddenly found the answer. Yes, it must be like this. If she could suddenly be transferred from the mountains to the ministry, it must be Fang Xiaoya's help. She recommended her to Xu Honggang!

I thought there was something mysterious and complicated behind my good luck, but I didn't expect it to be so simple, just like a layer of paper.

Qiao Liang suddenly felt relaxed, but was a little disappointed.

The reason why it is lost is difficult to explain.

Qiao Liang came to his senses and quickly changed his words to He Li: "Hello, sister-in-law."

Then he stared at Fang Xiaoya in a daze.

Fang Xiaoya looked at Qiao Liang with bright big eyes, with a little smile.

He Li looked at Qiao Liang, then Fang Xiaoya, and smiled: "Xiao Qiao, Xiaoya, you can chat, Nini and I will go shopping in front."

Then He Li took Nini away.

Qiao Liang looked at Fang Xiaoya: "Xiaoya, I understand..."

"I know what you understand." Fang Xiaoya interrupted Qiao Liang and pointed to a teahouse next to her, "Let's go and have tea inside, and chat while drinking."

The two entered the teahouse and asked for a pot of Tieguanyin.

"Xiaoya, I didn't expect you and Minister Xu to be relatives, and I didn't expect you to help me transfer from the mountains to the ministry." Qiao Liang made it straight to the point.

Fang Xiaoya chuckled: "I wanted to hide this from you for a while, but I didn't expect you to find out about it by chance today. Since you know, I won't hide it from you."

"Why do you mean by hiding me? Is it your intention or Minister Xu?"

"It's the common meaning of my cousin and my cousin. For me, I don't want you to feel that you owe me anything or that you don't want you to bear psychological pressure; for my cousin, he doesn't want you to feel that you have any personal close relationship with him because of me, and I'd rather maintain a simple superior-level and subordinate relationship with you."

"But now I understand, what should I do?" Qiao Liang said silly.

"Haha, just know if you know it. My cousin-in-law just had this idea in the early days, but after this period of investigation and testing, he has become more and more acclaimed to you. He praised you for your loyalty to him when he came home last night, saying that the mayor would transfer you to be a secretary and didn't go. So, you don't have to worry about this."

Qiao Liang originally wanted to tell Mayor Fang Xiaoya the truth about being transferred to him as secretary, but after thinking about it, he didn't say it. If Fang Xiaoya accidentally told it in front of Xu Honggang, it would be awful.

"Xiaoya, thank you. I always thought you couldn't fight with the officialdom, but I didn't expect it to be..."

Fang Xiaoya smiled faintly: "I said, you don't have to be polite between me and you. Originally, I really had nothing to do with the officialdom, but by chance, my cousin-law was transferred to Jiangzhou to be the Minister of Propaganda, so I recommended you to him, which is also destined."

Qiao Liang felt that he was really lucky, that man’s calculations were not as good as God’s calculations.

"When did you come to Huangyuan? What did you come?" Qiao Liang asked again.

"I'm here to send my cousin. I'll take Nini back to the United States tomorrow. Nini has been studying in the United States since she was a child. My cousin resigned to accompany me to study. I lived with my cousin when I was in the United States."

Qiao Liang nodded, so that's it. Xu Honggang's wife and children have been in the United States for a long time, and he is a left-behind cadre.

Xu Honggang is very awesome if he can let his wife and children live in the United States for a long time, but he needs financial support.

No wonder Xu Honggang never talks about his family in the ministry, so this kind of thing is naturally not suitable for public disclosure.
