Qiao Liang saw Li Youwei's dazed look and couldn't help but said, "Boss, if you are still in the system, you might be a member of the city team by now.

"

"It's not that easy.

"Li Youwei smiled and waved his hand, "Forget it, let's not talk about it. There are no ifs in this world. Besides, I am doing well now. I have found my hobby again. Now I am more interested in doing business.

"

Qiao Liang didn't say anything. He could feel that Li Youwei's words were somewhat against his will. Li Youwei must have regrets in his heart about being forced to leave the system.

"What are you two muttering about at the door, Lao Li? Why don't you hurry up and invite Liang Zi in for dinner?

"Li Youwei's wife Gu Shuyun came out of the kitchen with soup and shouted.

There was already a table full of steaming dishes on the table. Qiao Liang walked in and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, you are so enthusiastic. You cook so many dishes every time I come here."

"

"This is not just for you, Lao Li and I also want to eat.

"Gu Shuyun said with a smile.

"Come on, sit down and eat, and let's have a drink tonight.

"Li Youwei asked Qiao Liang to sit down. He had already picked up a bottle of wine and started pouring it.

"Boss, I'll pour it.

" Qiao Liang grabbed the bottle and stood up to pour wine for Li Youwei. He always maintained his heartfelt respect for Li Youwei. In his heart, Li Youwei was his first mentor in life.

When Li Youwei saw this, he did not stop him and joked, "Today I will enjoy the treatment of a city leader and let County Magistrate Qiao pour the wine.

"

"Boss, if you are willing, I will pour you wine every day.

"Qiao Liang said with a smile.

"Don't, I can't afford to delay County Magistrate Qiao's work.

"Li Youwei laughed, "And I drink less now. The group is getting busier and busier, and I don't even have time to drink.

"

Hearing Li Youwei mention the group, Qiao Liang couldn't help but ask, "How is the group developing this year?"

"Very good, it can be said that the situation is very good.

Li Youwei laughed, "The group's performance has grown rapidly this year, and it is expected that net profit may reach a record high."

"

Qiao Liang said happily after hearing this, "This is the reward for Chint Group's good deeds. As a listed company, Chint Group has responsibilities and actively gives back to the society, so it deserves a generous reward."

"

"When it comes to giving back to the society, now that the company is getting bigger and bigger, I have a deeper understanding of this. If a company does not even have the most basic social responsibility, it is impossible to get bigger.

"Li Youwei said with deep feeling.

“You are right, companies must have social responsibilities, otherwise there will be no point in getting bigger.

"Qiao Liang nodded in agreement and said, "Boss, Xiaoya made the most correct choice by handing Chint Group to you.

"

When Fang Xiaoya was mentioned, Li Youwei glanced at Qiao Liang and said, "Xiao Qiao, have you and Xiaoya been in contact recently?"

"Not recently.

"Qiao Liang shook his head.

"Actually, you and Xiaoya are a good match.

"Li Youwei looked at Qiao Liang, "I can feel that Xiaoya likes you very much. You happen to be single now, why don't you consider her?"

"Boss, I have always regarded Xiaoya as my younger sister.

"Qiao Liang smiled dryly.

"She's not your biological sister.

Li Youwei looked at Qiao Liang amusedly, "Liangzi, speaking of this, I have to criticize you. If you miss such a good woman like Xiaoya, you won't even have to take the regret medicine in the future."

"

Qiao Liang smiled bitterly. He and Fang Xiaoya had a deep relationship, but for some reason, he could never inspire the kind of emotion between men and women in Fang Xiaoya, but more of a brother-sister relationship. Therefore, in Fang Xiaoya,

He always remained very restrained when dealing with Fang Xiaoya, instead of letting his pure instincts and desires control him.

Hearing Li Youwei mention Qiao Liang and Fang Xiaoya, Gu Shuyun on the side also started gossiping and asked with a smile, "Liangzi, to be honest, do you really not like a beautiful, kind and rich girl like Xiaoya?"

"

"Sister-in-law, I have always liked Xiaoya, but my love for her is the same as a brother's love for his sister.

"Qiao Liang said seriously.

Gu Shuyun couldn't laugh or cry when she heard this, "I really don't understand you young people today. If I were a boy, I would have married a girl like Fang Xiaoya and go home long ago.

"

"It is precisely because you don't understand that you are old. Young people today have their own ideas, which are different from those of our time.

Li Youwei said with a smile, "Okay, let's not talk about it anymore. You can't force fate. If Liang Zi and Xiaoya are destined, they will be together sooner or later. If there is no fate, it will be useless no matter how others match them."

"

When it comes to Qiao Liang's personal matters, Li Youwei didn't want to say too much, so as not to put too much pressure on Qiao Liang, but Li Youwei still reminded him seriously, "Xiao Qiao, you are now a leading cadre of a certain level. Marriage

You really need to think about big things early, you can't stay single like this forever.

"

"Well, I know.

"Qiao Liang nodded and answered a little perfunctorily. He was not prepared for this matter at all, and he didn't even know how to choose.

The two quickly skipped the topic. Qiao Liang picked up the wine glass and said, "Boss, I'd like to propose a toast to you.

"

"Okay, County Magistrate Qiao respects me, so I will drink this glass of wine no matter what, otherwise I will be disrespectful to Magistrate Qiao.

"Li Youwei said with a smile.

"Boss, you are making fun of me again. In front of you, I will always be a Liangzi.

"Qiao Liang said with a smile.

"If you become the mayor one day, I won't dare call you Liang Zi.

"Li Youwei joked.

“That’s something very far away…even impossible.

"Qiao Liang said with a smile.

"It's hard to say. As the ancients said, princes, princes, and generals should be in love with each other. How do you know that you can't be the mayor in the future? Gentlemen, you can't be arrogant, but you can't be without ambition.

Li Youwei laughed and said, "Besides, when you were just admitted to the civil service examination, did you dare to think that you could become the county magistrate one day?"

“I really didn’t dare to think about it at that time, let alone the county magistrate, even the deputy county magistrate didn’t dare to think about it.

"Qiao Liang's eyes showed a look of reminiscence, as if he thought of his youthful self.

Not only Qiao Liang, Li Youwei looked at Qiao Liang in front of him and was also filled with emotion. In the past, the young man under his command was still a young boy in his opinion at that time, but now he has grown into the head of a county, and he is also the head of Jiangdong.

The youngest county magistrate in the province, Li Youwei would not have dared to imagine that Qiao Liang would achieve such an achievement in the past. However, things in this world are so mysterious, and the future is unpredictable and often surprising.

The two chatted while drinking, and they drank until nine o'clock before they knew it. Qiao Liang had a great time drinking with Li Youwei tonight. The two drank a bottle of white wine and a bottle of red wine. In the end, Li Youwei stopped first, otherwise

The two of them had to continue drinking.

After drinking at Li Youwei's house, Qiao Liang took a car back to his rented apartment. He would stay in the city for the night.

When the car arrived at the door of the apartment complex where he rented, Qiao Liang glanced out of the car window and saw two familiar figures. He was stunned for a moment and quickly asked the driver to stop. Qiao Liang also took back the hand he had placed on the car door.

, there was no rush to get off the car.

Standing at the door of the community were Song Liang and Shao Bingyu. They didn't know what they were talking about. They saw Song Liang's face was full of smiles, and Qiao Liang saw Song Liang make a move, as if he was reaching out to touch Shao Bingyu, but was stopped.

Shao Bingyu dodged lightly, but Song Liang quickly put his hand down and finally said a few words to Shao Bingyu. Qiao Liang soon saw Song Liang waving goodbye to Shao Bingyu.

Seeing Song Liang leaving, Qiao Liang stepped out of the car and shouted at Shao Bingyu's back, "Bingyu.

"

Shao Bingyu turned around when he heard the sound and saw it was Qiao Liang. Shao Bingyu was stunned, "Are you back?"

"Yes, I went back to the city in the evening.

"Qiao Liang nodded.
