Chapter 40: Temporary Acting County Lieutenant

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

Xiao Zheng shook his head.

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

Xiao Zheng nodded.

"What 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 innocently, 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 strict tone.

The next morning, Xu Honggang and Ye Xinyi went to a meeting, Qiao Liang followed Xu Honggang to engage in service, not enough to participate in the meeting, so he went out for a stroll if he had nothing to do.

Strolled to the Huangyuan Ancient Street, the ancient street is famous for the old buildings of the Ming and Qing dynasties, but in recent years, the commercialization is very strong, and the old buildings along the street have become shops, and the ones inside have become family hotels.

Today's weather is good, and there are many tourists.

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

"Auntie, come and see." At this time, a crisp child's voice attracted Qiao Liang's attention, and he looked at the sound, in front of a store selling Tibetan jewelry, a little girl in her 10s was shouting at the side, and there was a 37 or 8-year-old woman standing next to the little girl.

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

Looking at this woman, Qiao Liang was happy, hey, isn't this Fang Xiaoya, she came to Huangyuan.

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

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

"Mom, you must look good wearing this." The little girl jumped and jumped.

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

Qiao Liang walked behind Fang Xiaoya, stretched out his hand and suddenly patted Fang Xiaoya's shoulder: "Xiaoya-"

"Ahh ”

Qiao Liang looked at Fang Xiaoya with a smile.

"Cousin, this is my college classmate Qiao Liang, who is now working in the Propaganda Department of the Jiangzhou Municipal Party Committee." Fang Xiaoya introduced 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: "It turns out that you are Qiao Liang, the guy 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 also been in the United States for many years.

The little girl then said, "Big brother and my father are colleagues." ”

Qiao Liang was shocked, what did the little girl mean by this? Colleague? Who is her dad?

He Li said angrily to the little girl: "Nini, don't be rude, call uncle." Then he smiled apologetically at Qiao Liang.

Nini stuck out her tongue and grimaced.

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

"Hee-hee, guess?" Nini covered her mouth and smiled.

Qiao Liang looked at Fang Xiaoya and He Li, they were all smiling and silent.

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

"My name is Nini Xu."

"Ah-" Qiao Liang couldn't help but lose his voice, there were three people surnamed Xu in the entire Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee, except for Xu Honggang, those two were 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-in-law!

This unexpected discovery surprised Qiao Liang, and he never dreamed that Fang Xiaoya and Xu Honggang would have this kind of relationship!

Qiao Liang suddenly found an answer to a question that had been troubled in his mind for a long time, yes, it must be like this, he was able to be suddenly transferred from the mountains to the ministry, it must be Fang Xiaoya's help, she recommended herself to Xu Honggang!

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

Qiao Liang suddenly relaxed, but he was a little lost.

Why is it lost, the reason is difficult to explain for a while.

Qiao Liang came back to his senses and hurriedly changed his words to He Li: "Sister-in-law is good." ”

Then he looked at Fang Xiaoya in a daze.

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

He Li looked at Qiao Liang, then at Fang Xiaoya, pursed her lips and smiled: "Xiao Qiao, Xiao Ya, let's talk, Nini and I will go to the front for a walk." ”

Then He Li took Nini and left.

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

"I know you understand." Fang Xiaoya interrupted Qiao Liang's words and pointed to a teahouse next to him, "Let's go, go inside to drink tea, 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, but I didn't expect you to help me transfer from the mountains to the ministry." Qiao Liang got straight to the point.

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

"Why do you want to hide it from me, is it your meaning or Minister Xu's meaning?"

"It's what my cousin-in-law and I share, for me, I don't want you to feel like you owe me anything, I don't want you to be burdened with psychological pressure; As for my cousin-in-law, he doesn't want you to feel that you have any personal intimacy with him because of me, and prefers to maintain a simple subordinate relationship with you. ”

"But now that I know, what then?" Qiao Liang said stupidly.

"Hehe, you know it, my cousin-in-law only had this idea at the beginning, but after this period of inspection and testing, he has become more and more appreciative of you, and when he went home last night, he praised you for being loyal to him, saying that the mayor wanted to transfer you to be a secretary and didn't go. So, you don't have to worry about that. ”

Qiao Liang wanted to tell Mayor Fang Xiaoya the truth about being his secretary, but after thinking about it, he didn't say it, if Fang Xiaoya inadvertently said it in front of Xu Honggang, it would be terrible.

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

Fang Xiaoya smiled faintly: "I said, you don't have to be polite between me and you." Originally, I really didn't have anything to do with officialdom, but coincidentally, my cousin-in-law happened to be transferred to Jiangzhou as the propaganda minister, so I recommended you to him, which is also destined. ”

Qiao Liang felt that he was indeed very lucky, people were not as good as heaven.

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

"I came to see off my cousin, my cousin is going to 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, and I lived with my cousin when I was in the United States."

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

can let his wife and children live in the United States for a long time, but he has to have financial backing, Xu Honggang is very good.

No wonder Xu Honggang never talked about his family in the ministry, this kind of thing is naturally not suitable for publicity.

Since it is not appropriate to make it public, it is natural that you can't tell others casually.
