Qiao Zhenliang smiled: "Today's real stars are not those of us who are leaders, but the actors who have worked hard for us, they have dedicated a wonderful performance to everyone, let us thank them with applause!" ”

Everyone applauded with Qiao Zhenliang, Qiao Zhenliang said: "Soon ushered in 1997, under the wise command of the leaders of the Central Harmony Central Committee, with the joint efforts of the people of the province, we have achieved one after another set goals, successfully completed the 1996 annual goal of Pinghai, I believe that in the coming 97 years, we Pinghai will turn a more brilliant and more brilliant page, the next year, will be a year of accelerated take-off of Pinghai, the next year, I will, as always, take the helm of the big ship of Pinghai, Self-denial, dedication, and death! ”

Qiao Zhenliang's speech won warm applause as always, but everyone heard that Qiao Zhenliang's words seemed to be a solemn statement to refute all rumors about him.

This New Year's concert held in the CPPCC auditorium was broadcast live to the whole province of Pinghai, and Qiao Zhenliang's impromptu speech was seen by many people, in fact, even if you don't pay attention to this concert, TV news, radio newspapers will also focus on reporting this matter.

Song Huaiming heard this speech on the evening news of the same day, he sensed an unusual meaning from it, although Qiao Zhenliang's words were clearly directed at himself, but as long as he was a person with a heart, he could hear his spearhead, this is not a good sign, Song Huaiming knew in his heart that in the current situation, Qiao Zhenliang would definitely take all necessary means to reverse the situation unfavorable to him, as a mature politician, the best way is to fight, the so-called battle must first select the target, gave his political opponent a heavy blow, but unfortunately Qiao Zhenliang chose himself.

Although the New Year's concert on the same day arranged a session for reporters to ask questions, the reporter from the provincial station obviously did not dare to involve the sensitive issues that had recently occurred around Qiao's family. He knows that his performance tonight will inevitably be defined by many people as a show, Qiao Zhenliang doesn't mind, in fact, who is not a show in the official field? The show can achieve two purposes for political opponents, one is to confuse, the other is to deter, he just wants to tell everyone through this public show that the future of Pinghai is still up to him.

Back in his Hongqi car, Qiao Zhenliang's whole person suddenly relaxed, to be exact, it should not be relaxed, it was a kind of paralysis-like exhaustion, any slight changes in Qiao Zhenliang could not hide from Yan Guotao's eyes, although it was very dark in the car, Yan Guotao felt the tense and dignified taste from his breathing.

The car drove calmly in the direction of the Provincial Party Committee's family home, and when it was about to arrive at Tranquility Road, Qiao Zhenliang said: "Go to the riverside for a walk." ”

Yan Guotao was a little surprised, now is the coldest time of the year in the Dongjiang River, Qiao Zhenliang chose to go to the river at this time, he didn't ask any questions, although he felt that Qiao Zhenliang's actions were very unusual, whether in the past or now, he is Qiao Zhenliang's most loyal follower, and he will always respect Secretary Qiao's decision.

Hongqi car has been driving into Jiangtan Park, such a season and such a night, the entire Jiangtan Park is empty, and there is no trace of any tourists, Qiao Zhenliang pushed the car door and walked down, he said in a low voice: "Guotao!" This sentence means that except for Yan Guotao, no one else should follow.

The two came to the river one after the other, the river wind in the deep winter night was very strong, with the tide of the river blowing in the face, Qiao Zhenliang felt a cold that penetrated into the bone marrow, but this feeling made him sober, Qiao Zhenliang leaned down very childlikely, grabbed a pebble, and threw it out with all his might, the pebble was thrown into the dark heart of the river, and he couldn't see any waves, and he couldn't hear the sound of falling water, Qiao Zhenliang said: "If a person wants to use stones to cut off this surging river, what a stupid thing it should be." ”

Yan Guotao said: "There must be someone behind Kong Yuan. ”

Qiao Zhenliang stood up straight with a smile, and faced the mighty river with his hands on his hips: "The reason why he is not afraid is not that he thinks I can't cure him." ”

Yan Guotao moved forward a little closer.

Qiao Zhenliang said: "I came to Pinghai for a long time, not a short time, if you want to govern Pinghai well, you must first manage these officials under my rule, I dare not say that I understand everyone 100%, but I believe that many people do not even know them as well as me." ”

Yan Guotao was silent, he believed that he belonged to the scope of what Qiao Zhenliang said.

Qiao Zhenliang said: "Kong Yuan has some ability, and he is conscientious at work, but I know what his fault is, and there must be many people who know it, why should I allow a person who has problems in his life style to work next to me?" ”

Yan Guotao still didn't speak, but he understood that the reason why Qiao Zhenliang tolerated Kong Yuan's shortcomings was because he held Kong Yuan's handle, if Kong Yuan didn't act according to his intentions, he could kick Kong Yuan out at any time, Qiao Zhenliang has always advocated tolerating the shortcomings of comrades, in fact, only by mastering the shortcomings of his subordinates can he achieve better control, if a person's subordinates are all elites, all are perfect and flawless cadres, then he may not be able to control the team well.

Qiao Zhenliang said: "Kong Yuan is not afraid, because he has already predicted his end, and he is now just a pawn being used. ”

Yan Guotao said in a low voice: "Secretary Qiao, you suspect ...... Song"

Qiao Zhenliang laughed: "Guotao, what do you think? ”

Yan Guotao shook his head and said in a low voice: "I think it will be the person behind him!" ”

Qiao Zhenliang said: "No matter who it is, this battle must be fought, and since the bullets are loaded, we can't waste them." He turned around, stared at Yan Guotao with blazing eyes, and said, "Fight the little ghost first, and then beat the king of Yan!" ”

When Kong Yuan was planning how to go next, he learned that his nephew Kang Cheng was arrested by the public security authorities for stealing electricity and tax evasion, and the news was revealed to him by Gao Zhonghe, director of the Public Security Department, if those photos were still in Kong Yuan's expectations, this news was beyond Kong Yuan's expectations, he thought that Huiyuan's affairs had completely subsided, and everything was carried by Liang Zi alone, after she escaped, all the charges were counted on her head, even if it was electricity and tax evasion, It will not be serious enough to alarm the Provincial Public Security Department, Kong Yuan understands that Qiao Zhenliang is using the same method against himself.

At the beginning of attending the New Year's concert, he had already decided to do several things, and these things should come one by one, and his understanding of Kong Yuan was far beyond Kong Yuan's imagination.

Early the next morning, after the provincial party committee organ went to work, Kong Yuan went to Qiao Zhenliang's office, and the photos that Liu Zhao took out did not threaten him, but he couldn't ignore Kangcheng's affairs.

When Qiao Zhenliang heard that Kong Yuan was coming to see him, he only said one sentence: "Let him wait outside!" ”

For this sentence, Kong Yuan waited outside for an hour and a half.

Qiao Zhenliang's purpose in humiliating Kong Yuan is not to vent the evil anger in his heart, waiting will make a person's calmness fall apart, waiting will make a person hesitate, waiting will make a person push over his original thoughts, waiting is a torment for Kong Yuan at this time.

However, Kong Yuan is by no means an idle person, at least on the surface, he is still calm and relaxed, although he knows that Qiao Zhenliang has seized his life, Kong Yuan can no longer care about his political future, but he can't watch Kang Cheng fall into prison and ignore it.

Seeing Kong Yuan coming in, Qiao Zhenliang said very plainly: "Here, sit!" ”

Kong Yuan smiled, he wanted to sit, but found that there was no other chair to sit on in the office except for Qiao Zhenliang's seat under the butt stock, on the sofa, I don't know whether he threw a party flag intentionally or unintentionally, Kong Yuan didn't dare to sit under the party flag even if he was bold. So Kong Yuan could only stand, even so, the smile on his face was still so calm and calm.

Qiao Zhenliang said: "I heard about you!" Lao Kong, the evening festival is not guaranteed! "Qiao Zhenliang slapped his face as soon as he came up, naked and naked in the face, for Kong Yuan, he is the one who is in the upper position, and the one who is in the upper position can afford you, of course he will not consider leaving a face.

Kong Yuan said: "I came today to review with Secretary Qiao. ”

Qiao Zhenliang smiled: "Actually, you shouldn't look for me. ”

Kong Yuan said: "You are my leader, even if I want to explain the problem, I must explain it to you first, and I must not be sloppy in the organization." ”

Qiao Zhenliang didn't have the patience to continue to go around the bend with him, and said in a low voice: "Are you coming to me for yourself, or for Kang Cheng?" This sentence is equivalent to clearly telling Kong Yuan that Kang Cheng's things are what he did.

Kong Yuan said: "Kang Cheng is my nephew, I admit that I have given some help in his business operation, but the specific management of Huiyuan Hotel has always been in charge of Liang Zi, and it has nothing to do with him......

Qiao Zhenliang raised his right hand to signal Kong Yuan not to continue, he smiled: "Kang Cheng doesn't seem to be your nephew, right?" ”

Kong Yuan was slightly stunned, his heart was fluttering, could it be that Qiao Zhenliang already knew about such a secret thing?

Qiao Zhenliang said: "He is the son of your sister-in-law, it's hard for you to care so much about him." There was a hint of mockery in his words.

Kong Yuan said: "Secretary Qiao, I watched this child grow up, and he treated him the same as my own biological son. ”

Qiao Zhenliang said meaningfully: "If a child is not born and raised, it is also necessary to assume the responsibility of educating him." Speaking of this, he couldn't help but think of himself, if it wasn't for his son falling into the trap of others, why would he be so passive politically? (To be continued.)
