Liu Lihai returned to his office. As soon as he sat down, there was a knock on the door. He said, "Come in."
The door of the office was pushed open. Section Chief Zhou Shunmin, the secretary general, had come. Because Liu Lihai was depressed, his face was not as enthusiastic as before. It made Zhou Shunmin feel that he had done something wrong. Did he offend Liu Lihai? However, he had already tried his best to handle the things that Liu Lihai had asked him to report. Now he was here to report to him about Lin Nuo. In his opinion, it was already very fast. In Zhou Shunmin's imagination, Liu Lihai should be praising him for coordinating a person to enter the secretary department in such a short time.
Zhou Shunmin called, "Director Liu." Only then did Liu Lihai realize that he was distracted again. No matter what happened between him and Leng Hongyan, he could not be careless about the things that he should do at work and the people that he should deal with.
"Section Chief Zhou is here. Please take a seat." A smile appeared on Liu Lihai's face. He stood up and prepared to pour tea for him. Zhou Shunmin was a little flattered and felt that he was overthinking. He said, "Director Liu, I'll do it myself." At the same time, he looked at Liu Lihai.
Liu Lihai realized that his state had been misunderstood by Zhou Shunmin. He smiled and said, "Section Chief Zhou, it's good to pour a cup of water for yourself. I just went to the mayor's office and was criticized by her."
Liu Lihai intended to let Zhou Shunmin understand. Although he was deeply trusted by Leng Hongyan, he would also be reprimanded by the leader. His mood would also be affected sometimes. This was also an indirect explanation. After all, he had just taken over the office work. He needed the full cooperation of these section chiefs for all kinds of things.
As expected, Zhou Shunmin's tense mood relaxed. He said, "The mayor just came and is not familiar with the work in Jingjiang. Maybe she is under a lot of pressure."
Although Zhou Shunmin said it unintentionally, it made Liu Lihai alert. He couldn't help but ask, "Section Chief Zhou, is Secretary Ran very capable in her work?"
"This, this …" Zhou Shunde didn't expect that Liu Lihai would suddenly ask about Ran Bingbing. He thought that Liu Lihai would ask about the progress of Lin Nuo's work. He didn't expect that this young director would suddenly mention Ran Bingbing.
"Section Chief Zhou, if you have something to say, just say it, okay?" Liu Lihai looked at Zhou Shunmin sincerely.
"She has always been very low-key, but, Director Liu, I have something to say. Can you keep it to yourself?" Zhou Shunmin saw that Liu Lihai was looking at him with trust, so he couldn't help but lower his voice.
"Section Chief Zhou, please go ahead. I won't tell anyone," Liu Lihai promised.
"Once, I worked overtime to write materials, and I finished very late. At the elevator, I accidentally saw Secretary Ran and Secretary Wu Haotian entering the elevator together. I was so scared that I didn't dare to take the elevator again, so I went home from the stairs. "Zhou Shunmin's voice was very low, but Liu Lihai still heard it clearly. Wu Haotian and Ran Bingbing getting into the elevator together was not something that could be associated with. The key was, how could these two coincidentally be together in the middle of the night? What was the relationship between them? Or was Ran Bingbing just a small secretary that Wu Haotian sent to work for Leng Hongyan?
A bunch of questions flashed in Liu Lihai's mind, and he was a little distracted for a moment. Zhou Shunmin saw that Liu Lihai's expression was not right, so he quickly added, "Director Liu, maybe I'm seeing things. I haven't told anyone about this, and I don't dare to say it. Because Secretary Ran is usually very serious in her work, and I haven't seen her flaunt anything. So, maybe I'm really seeing things. "The more Zhou Shunmin explained, the more he reminded Liu Lihai. It seemed that although Leng Hongyan had been locked up at home for a long time, a woman's intuition was still very accurate sometimes. There must be something wrong with Ran Bingbing. The more she didn't show it, the more suspicious she was.
"Section Chief Zhou, don't mention this to anyone, including the mayor. In addition, how's the progress of Lin Nuo's work? " Liu Lihai warned Zhou Shunmin while asking about Lin Nuo. It seemed that Lin Nuo really had to enter Leng Hongyan's work in advance.
"Director Liu, I'm also here to report this to you. Lin Nuo's work has been coordinated, and she can come to work at any time." Zhou Shunmin continued Liu Lihai's words. As long as they talked about work, his uncertain heart finally calmed down. Zhou Shunmin himself felt that there must be something wrong with Ran Bingbing, but he couldn't be sure about the specific problem. Besides, it was because of Liu Lihai's trust in him, and also because he wanted to take a gamble. He gambled that only by relying on Leng Hongyan's side would there be a possibility of promotion.
Ran Bingbing was usually cold. After Zhou Shunmin found out this secret, he tried to get close to Ran Bingbing, but she was a thousand miles away from everyone in the government, acting as if she was doing official business. Zhou Shunmin dismissed the possibility of getting close to Ran Bingbing again. Moreover, he had been hesitating whether to tell Liu Lihai about the news that Ran Bingbing was close to Secretary Wu Haotian in private. Such a private thing, he knew that once he said it, he would either be trusted or nipped in the bud. Therefore, he was taking a gamble now. Of course, he had a good impression of Liu Lihai. Although this young man was young, he had his own principles.
What Zhou Shunmin was most afraid of was a leader without principles. He was not afraid of working, nor was he afraid of all kinds of overtime, but he was afraid of being treated as a fool.
Liu Lihai looked at Zhou Shunmin again, and then said, "Thank you, Section Chief Zhou. After Lin Nuo comes, please give her more guidance and training. The mayor is used to using Lin Nuo."
"I will definitely try my best. If there is nothing else, I will leave first. "Zhou Shunmin said politely, but in his heart, he was very happy. Although Liu Lihai didn't say anything, letting him take care of Lin Nuo was equivalent to saying everything. Besides, Ran Bingbing and Wu Haotian had such a secret thing, the new mayor would definitely not trust Ran Bingbing. On this point, he believed in Liu Lihai's words. Leng Hongyan was used to using Lin Nuo.
"Okay. I will let Lin Nuo come to work today. "Liu Lihai said, waved his hand, and Zhou Shunmin left Liu Lihai's office.
As soon as Zhou Shunmin left, Liu Lihai called Lin Nuo. As soon as the phone was connected, Liu Lihai took the initiative to ask Lin Nuo, "How have you been recently?"
"Thank you." Lin Nuo didn't respond, but politely expressed her gratitude. She really should thank Liu Lihai. Without his encouragement, without the route he designed for her, would she be where she was today? She felt good about the interview, and the main examiner had a good impression of her. She was also confident about this.
"I didn't help you much, everything is still based on your own efforts. By the way, Lin Nuo, come to the secretary department and report to Section Chief Zhou Shunmin today. Work here is busy, so you have to adapt to the government work as soon as possible. Both the mayor and I need you, understand? " Liu Lihai didn't say it clearly, but with just this paragraph, he believed that with Lin Nuo's comprehension ability, she would understand his painstaking efforts.
"Okay. I will go to the government building right away. By the way, Director Liu, do I need to go to Mayor Leng's office to see him? " Lin Nuo also couldn't make up her mind. After all, she was unfamiliar with the government work. She used to work for President Leng, and now she was working for Mayor Leng. Although they were the same person, after all, she couldn't be sure.
Liu Lihai didn't expect Lin Nuo to call him Director Liu, but if she didn't call him Director Liu, what should she call him? What name? Or Brother Liu? Neither was very suitable, and he and she both understood each other's psychology. The more they worked together, the less awkward it would be for them.
"You go to the mayor's office to see the mayor first. By the way, Lin Nuo, the mayor is not in a good mood. You can observe and do it yourself. Also, you should pay more attention to the mayor's family matters. Try to let the mayor give you the keys. You are young, do more inside and outside, "Liu Lihai urged Lin Nuo.
"I know, I will," Lin Nuo responded. Liu Lihai then used the excuse that he still had work to do and hung up the phone. Liu Lihai felt that he had taught Lin Nuo everything that should be taught. Next, it would depend on the fate between Lin Nuo and Leng Hongyan.
After Liu Lihai arranged Lin Nuo's matters, he nestled on the sofa. He was thinking about Ran Bingbing. That head of black hair that was like Sun Xiaomu was imprinted in his mind again. Such a girl, who on earth was she to Wu Haotian? It seemed that things were far more complicated than he had imagined. However, there was one thing. Regarding the matter between him and Leng Hongyan, it was inextricably related to Ran Bingbing. Should he use a honey trap on Ran Bingbing? Didn't Leng Hongyan ask him to do so?
Honey trap again. For Liu Lihai, he was very disdainful to use this trick. However, this trick always seemed to work on women. If his Sister Leng was not superstitious about his beauty, why would she be angry with him for no reason? When a woman was angry with a man for no reason, it was because she cared about him and she still loved him. This kind of love, no matter whether it was reasonable or not, grew wildly like weeds. This point, Liu Lihai also did not know how to face and deal with it.
When Liu Lihai thought about this, he still took out his mobile phone. Before the situation in Jingjiang could not be broken, before his Sister Leng was still angry with him, he must use the strategy that he should use. In addition to dealing with it step by step, he had no way to firmly grasp the situation in his own hands. Therefore, he sent a message to Ran Bingbing: Secretary Ran, today is my birthday. Can I invite Secretary Ran to celebrate with me? Can the place be decided by Secretary Ran?
After the message was sent, Liu Lihai smiled bitterly. If Ran Bingbing really had an affair with Secretary Wu Haotian, she would definitely not go to the appointment. Besides, whether the evidence in Lu Xiaoyang's hands had anything to do with Ran Bingbing or not, he had to find out these things.
Liu Lihai stared at his mobile phone. Whether or not Ran Bingbing would agree to the appointment, he was not sure. But in his heart, he did not want to provoke Ran Bingbing, because in front of her, he would always involuntarily think of Sun Xiaomu, and he would always have the urge to call Sun Xiaomu. But what else could he say to Sun Xiaomu? Although Sun Xiaomu was not far from him, in the face of a woman who was pregnant with someone else's child, even if she was in Jingjiang, he could not look for her, right?
Life was always so unsatisfactory, and there was always a mismatch between what he wanted and what he got. When Liu Lihai reached this step, his whole feeling was like this. But the charm of power made him let go, and he could not do it.
A message came in on his mobile phone, and Liu Lihai was startled from missing Sun Xiaomu. He picked up his mobile phone and looked at it, and could not help but laugh.
