Two more days have passed, and Xiaojuan has recovered and been discharged from the hospital, but a handful of hairs still has not been caught, and there is no trace of it, as if it disappeared out of thin air.

In fact, with Chu Tianqi's original intention, he didn't want Xiaojuan to be discharged from the hospital, he was always worried that a handful of hair would be bad for her. But Xiaojuan insisted that her injuries were healed, and her parents repeatedly said that they would not trouble the government. Chu Tianqi understood what they meant, not only for fear of causing trouble to the government, but also worried about the need for his own medical expenses, thinking about being discharged from the hospital as soon as possible.

Knowing that this family was anxious, and it was unknown when a handful of hair would be caught, Chu Tianqi did not stop him again, but he specially instructed Hu Guangcheng to do a good job of protection. Hu Guangcheng promised to send police forces to secretly protect him, and planned to take the bait with a plan.

Xiaojuan recovered and was discharged from the hospital, Hu Guangcheng took comprehensive protective measures, and Chu Tianqi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. It's finally a matter for the time being, it's comfortable to eat at lunch, and it's sweet to sleep in the afternoon.

At about two o'clock in the afternoon, Chu Tianqi got up from the bed, feeling refreshed and relaxed. He wiped his face briefly, came to the outhouse, sat down at his desk, and took care of his business.

If the mental state is good, the work efficiency will be high, and a large pile of documents will be processed in less than half an hour. With a gentle push of the pen and documents, Chu Tianqi leaned back in the chair, very comfortable.

"Tuk tuk", there was a knock on the door.

"Come in. Chu Tianqi said very casually.

"Squeak", the door of the house was pushed open, and a figure appeared at the door, it was not the secretary Liu Zhuo at all.

Seeing the man with his back on his back, Chu Tianqi was stunned, and then got up and greeted him: "How can the secretary be free today? Please come in, please come in." ”

The person who came was Qiao Jinbao, secretary of the county party committee. Qiao Jinbao smiled "haha": "I came out of the house and walked casually, and before I knew it, I arrived in the front yard, so I wanted to go to the county magistrate to have a look, didn't disturb your work, right?"

"No, I just finished working on the paperwork. Besides, welcoming the secretary is the most important job. Chu Tianqi also smiled, "The secretary suddenly arrived, I thought it was a surprise inspection, and I was still nervous." ”

"Really, I'm that terrible? I don't think so. Qiao Jinbao said, stepping into the room and going straight to the sofa.

"Secretary, you sit down first. While speaking, Chu Tianqi picked up the water cup and tea leaves, and went to make tea. He's using the time to think quickly about a question: What is he here for?

Even counting this time, Qiao Jinbao took the initiative to come to the door for the second time.

The last time I came, it was more than half a year ago, when the office had just been renovated, and Qiao Jinbao's rhetoric was "move to a new house, come and have a look". At that time, the relationship between himself and Qiao Jinbao was very delicate, much like the "honeymoon period" and the "newlywed period", which was very sweet, but he was also cautious in the first fight, of course, Qiao Jinbao provoked it first. And that time Qiao Jinbao came, naturally it was not to congratulate the housewarming, but to intervene in the selection of the secretary, when the two of them had a small trick and ended in their own victory.

This time, Qiao Jinbao came again without an appointment, what would he do for it? It must not be a casual sitting, right? Many matters flashed in Chu Tianqi's mind.

Before he could figure it out, the hot tea had already been brewed, and Chu Tianqi had to sit on the sofa to accompany him.

Lifting the lid of the cup, a fragrance rose, Qiao Jinbao sniffed lightly, concentrating on auspiciousness, and his face was full of intoxication: "Well, good tea, good tea." The seedlings are sharp, the color is tender green, the soup is tender green and bright, the taste is fragrant and pure, and the best tea. This tea is not very good, where did Brother Tianqi get good things?"

"Is it good? I didn't drink it. Others gave a little bit, no wonder he was so stingy, it turned out to be a good thing. Chu Tianqi pretended to be confused and took the half box of tea, "If the secretary thinks it tastes good, you can take it away in a while, anyway, I drink tea purely to quench my thirst, and the taste is almost the same." ”

Naturally, he understood that the other party was pretending to be stupid, but Qiao Jinbao couldn't help but be surprised: Where did Chu Tianqi get such a good tea, it seems that it is difficult to buy it in the market, right?

muttering in his heart, Qiao Jinbao said "haha": "How can I take away the beauty of people?" But Brother Tianqi is so sincere, if I don't accept it, it will be too much. Saying that, Qiao Jinbao took the tea box, and took the trouble to open the tea lid to check it, and sighed "Good tea, good tea". Then he closed the lid and put the tea box in front of him, as if he was afraid that the other party would regret it at any time.

Looking at the other party's funny expression, Chu Tianqi felt funny, but he had a smile on his face, and said "I also have a good taste", but in his heart he was reminding himself to be "careful" at any time. With the experience of the last visit, Chu Tianqi had to be more cautious, especially the delicate relationship between the two recently, and he was even more careless.

Putting down the teacup, Qiao Jinbao said slowly: "Tianqi, I'm coming over to apologize." Those two guys got out of it a few days ago, and I really didn't know anything about it in advance, otherwise I wouldn't have asked you about it. Although those two guys have nothing to do with me directly, they can be connected a little bit inside and outside, and I am also responsible for not being strict with them for doing that shameful work. ”

Chu Tianqi waved his hand: "Secretary, don't say that." The secretary must not know that the two of them did that bastard thing, and it was precisely because I understood this that I didn't dare to report it rashly, thinking about figuring it out. As a result, because I thought too much, I almost misunderstood the secretary, thinking that my surname was Chu. ”

"Sort of, really a little. Qiao Jinbao sighed, "Hey, the key is that I don't know any news in advance, knowing that it is impossible for the county magistrate to make trouble with gambling sections, but I really can't think of other reasons, let alone that they have become like that." As a result, the facts made me dumbfounded, and I could only prove my innocence by unconditionally cooperating with the investigation, and I have always taken the initiative to let you supervise. For this reason, those members of the Standing Committee have a big opinion, and they all say that I am making a big fuss. ”

Chu Tianqi said: "The secretary's behavior that day was indeed high-spirited and touching. If anyone complains about this, it is too narrow-minded. ”

"I didn't think about it that much, I just felt that we couldn't let the wronged people continue to be wronged, what should we do. Qiao Jinbao sighed, "To be honest, I didn't know much about Qu Yong before, and he wasn't outstanding at that time, but his performance in recent months has been particularly eye-catching." He was the first to support the cash crop planting industry, and took the lead in planting vegetables in different seasons, and now he has achieved great results and created several firsts. Especially in this wronged incident, not only did he not have any complaints, but he was also able to stick to his post, be conscientious, personally arrange vegetable sales, and strictly do a good job in flood prevention and disaster relief. is really a rare good comrade, and thanks to the county magistrate's unique vision and careful cultivation, otherwise it would have been buried. Comrades like him, we should ......"

The other party's words continued, although Chu Tianqi was smiling, and seemed to be attentive to listening, but in fact, he was asking why in his mind? Qiao Jinbao was saying now, most of it was the truth, and it was not exaggerated, but from what came out of his mouth, Chu Tianqi still felt surprised. Last summer, Chu Tianqi was also a researcher of the National Development and Reform Commission, and when he investigated Hejiayao, he found that Xiao Yue'e had the final say in Hejiayao, and Qu Yong, who had just arrived for half a year, had not yet gained a firm foothold. At the beginning of his tenure as county magistrate, Chu Tianqi learned that Qu Yong was still alone in the township, while Xiao Yue'e was powering Qiao Jinbao. Later, through observation, speculation and rumors were indeed verified: Qiao Jinbao and Xiao E have an unusual relationship, and Qiao Jinbao is not interested in Qu Yong.

They are all the same people, why are their views so different now? Chu Tianqi was very puzzled, and he was also puzzled about what kind of medicine was sold in the other party's gourd.

"Brother Tianqi, you can't let good people be wronged. At this point, Qiao Jinbao stopped.

didn't know what the other party was doing, Chu Tianqi just echoed: "Yes, it can't." ”

Qiao Jinbao further said: "Qu Yong has suffered such a big grievance, he is excellent in all aspects, the county should compensate him, and he should be given a bigger stage." ”

What does it mean? Chu Tianqi was puzzled by what the other party would say, and even more confused about the specific meaning of his words, so he said: "I don't understand, please make it clear." ”

"County magistrate, you should understand that with his ability, he is completely capable of taking charge on his own. As he spoke, Qiao Jinbao stood up, "I still have something to do there, so let's go first." I'm just making a suggestion, you should think about it again, after all, he is your favorite cadre. ”

Chu Tianqi also hurriedly got up and responded vaguely: "Okay, I'll think about it." ”

"He should really be given a bigger stage. Okay, I'm leaving. After Qiao Jinbao said that, he strode away. Before leaving, I didn't forget to take the half box of tea.

"Secretary, go slowly. Chu Tianqi sent it outside the door and looked at the back of the departing man.

……

Only himself was left in the room, and Chu Tianqi continued to ponder Qiao Jinbao's words.

The other party prompted "bigger stage" twice, which is self-evident that he wanted to promote Qu Yong. So where does he want Qu Yong to be promoted? To be the township secretary, or to change places? If Qu Yong is the secretary, where will Xiao Yue'e be arranged? She is Qiao Jinbao's most intimate person, where does he find her place? If Qu Yong is transferred, where do he want to be transferred? Other townships or county seats?

Don't think about the specific place or the specific position, Chu Tianqi focused on Qiao Jinbao's purpose for doing this. Is the other party trying to show favor to himself, or does he want to move Qu Yong away? If so, what is his purpose? If he can't afford to make a profit, Qiao Jinbao will never make a loss-making deal, especially if he takes the initiative to bring it up, so what is his plan?

With the delicate relationship between the two now, Chu Tianqi didn't believe that Qiao Jinbao would take the initiative to show favor for no reason. The two of them now seem to have released their previous suspicions, but both of them know that it is impossible to return to the most harmonious state. Since this is the kind of relationship, then Qiao Jinbao obviously wants to make an exchange, so what is he going to do in exchange, is it an exchange of people or a position? Is this exchange worth it?
