After Chu Heng, Wen Yuan and the others left, Liu Yiping looked at Qiao Liang with a gaze: "After going back to my hometown to see my parents, will I return to the county town tonight?"

"No, go back to Jiangzhou directly." Qiao Liang said simply.

"On the big weekend, why are you going back so anxiously?" Liu Yiping was unwilling to give up.

Qiao Liang smiled and said with a slight smile: "If I don't want to have a shot, you won't give up, right?"

"Hmph, damn, don't you want to?" Liu Yiping threw a charming look.

"I don't want to do it or not, but as a county leader, your reputation is the most important. I am for your own good and I have to be responsible for the tall image of the leader."

Liu Yiping curled her lips: "Hmph, make an excuse, have you been fed by the one at home?"

When Qiao Liang heard Liu Yiping mention Zhang Mei, he felt nauseous, but he still smiled: "Whatever you think."

"Ph—" Liu Yiping spat, then left disappointed.

Seeing Liu Yiping leave the guesthouse, Qiao Liang then went to the opposite hotel, met Li Youwei, and headed straight to the life base in the mountains.

Fang Xiaoya didn't go and stayed in the hotel to wait for their news.

"Liangzi, have you notified Chen Tao?" Li Youwei asked Qiao Liang on the way.

Qiao Liang nodded: "I told him last night that he was very excited to hear that you were going."

Li Youwei smiled: "Where are the others in the base?"

"I asked Chen Tao to give them a holiday, and the three of them are here."

Li Youwei nodded with satisfaction and then said, "What reason do you use if you don't go back to Jiangzhou with Chu Heng today?"

"I said I'll go back to my hometown to see my parents."

"Do you think Chu Heng will believe it?"

"Boss, you mean..."

"When I came out to exercise this morning, I happened to see Chu Heng coming out of the guesthouse for morning exercises. When he saw me, he immediately stopped and avoided, thinking that I didn't see him."

"Oh, so, Chu Heng knows that you lived in Sanjiang last night."

"Yes." Li Youwei nodded, "If you don't go back to Jiangzhou with him, he might suspect that you are with me today."

Qiao Liang remembered what happened last night and thought about it: "Even if he doubted it, it would be fine. At most, he would think that I didn't want him to know, because he was worried that it would affect your relationship, just as if he had known for a long time that he was my matchmaker and I kept it from you."

"Does Chu Heng think you have always trusted him?"

"Yes, so far, he has no doubt about it."

Li Youwei nodded and fell into deep thought.

At 10 a.m., the car arrived at the living base. When it was more than 100 meters away from the gate, I saw three people standing at the door, looking forward to it.

It was Chen Tao and the others.

Li Youwei asked the driver to stop the car and said to Qiao Liang: "Let's go over."

Qiao Liang nodded and got out of the car with Li Youwei. Li Youwei strode towards Chen Tao and the others.

Qiao Liang walked behind Li Youwei, looking at his back very steady, but his steps were a little rapid. Obviously, Li Youwei was excited at this time.

Seeing Li Youwei coming, Chen Tao and the others hurriedly came up to us.

Li Youwei stretched out his hand from afar—

"Secretary Li..." Chen Tao and the others rushed up, scrambling to shake hands with Li Youwei. They all looked excited and their voices were even more hoarse.

Seeing his former subordinates falling into this desolate deep mountains, Li Youwei was filled with mixed feelings and his eyes were wet.

After sighing for a while, everyone calmed down and looked at Li Youwei with bright eyes and the old leader.

Li Youwei tried hard to keep himself calm and smiled at everyone: "Go in and take a walk."

Everyone entered the living base, and Li Youwei was very familiar with it. Without their guidance, he walked by himself and everyone followed him.

After a long time, Li Youwei walked to the pig farm, stood and looked at Qiao Liang for a long time, and turned to look at him: "You were working here at the beginning, right?"

Qiao Liang nodded.

Li Youwei looked at the distance with a deep look, and was silent for a moment, slowly saying: "The living base and pig farm I founded myself have become your place for labor reform. Isn't this very sad and ridiculous? "

Everyone was speechless.

Li Youwei said again: "Maybe this is reincarnation. Before you, Si Shengjie and the others were sent by me? It was Si Shengjie before, and now it is your turn. Is this the retribution I left for you?"

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Li Youwei sighed: "Let's go and have a chat in the office."

"Secretary Li, the office is too cold, so I'd better go to our dormitory. I burned the kang very hot early in the morning." Chen Tao said.

"Okay, let's sit on the hot kang and have tea and chat."

When everyone went to the dormitory, they felt the heat as soon as they entered the door. A large kang was cleaned up, with square tables on it, and tea sets were placed on it.

Everyone sat cross-legged on the hot kang. Although the outside was cold, the room was warm.

"Secretary Li, have some tea, we eat the whole sheep at noon." Chen Tao said, "We were all so excited that we got up early in the morning to kill a sheep, and were waiting for you to eat."

Li Youwei smiled: "You good business management experts now can grow vegetables, raise pigs, kill sheep, and become all-rounders."

Chen Tao and the others laughed bitterly.

Li Youwei took a few sips of tea, put down the teacup and said, "I was in Sanjiang last night. I heard Qiao Liang talk about your situation. Today I will see you. I know that you have suffered here, and I have been implicated by me."

Li Youwei sighed as he said that, with deep guilt in his expression.

Chen Tao and the others looked at each other, and then Chen Tao said, "Secretary Li, don't say that. We, like Director Qiao, were all cultivated by you. Today we have arrived at this stage, and we may not necessarily be implicated by you, but we voluntarily."

"How do you say this?" Li Youwei looked at them.

Chen Tao said: "After you had an accident, General Wen presided over the newspaper work and talked to your old subordinates whom you had cultivated before, saying that as long as we regretted and expressed our loyalty to him, he could live without blame and we could continue to work in our original positions.

With Mr. Wen's use of both soft and hard work, some people compromised, such as Guo Qiang, director of the Finance Center, who has now devoted himself to Mr. Wen. But the three of us refused to give up our bottom line and principles, and neither regretted nor expressed loyalty to Mr. Wen. Mr. Wen became popular in the end, so we were sent here."

Qiao Liang secretly praised Li Youwei for not cultivating them in vain, which is great.

Li Youwei nodded: "Your actions touched me. Thank you for your sincerity towards me, Li Youwei, but Guo Qiang's actions are understandable. It is also a move that is known to me. I have no intention of blaming him. Today I am here, in addition to seeing you, there is another meaning..."

Speaking of this, Li Youwei stopped and picked up the teacup to drink water.

Chen Tao and the others all looked at Li Youwei.
