Yao Xuefei said faintly, "My husband was taken away, and my love is gone. I feel that there's no meaning in living anymore. My whole life is gloomy. I'm going to die …" Li Rui found it funny and said, "Don't play with me, okay? Didn't I say that I'll spend more time with you when I'm free? " Yao Xuefei was silent for a moment. Suddenly, she thought of something and said excitedly, "Isn't Lu Qingman from the provincial capital? She must go there often, right? When she goes to the provincial capital, you can come and accompany me, okay? "Li Rui said," That's what I'm thinking. I hope you won't be anxious. Don't worry, I'll love you for the rest of my life. " Yao Xuefei said angrily, "If you don't love me, I'll get married and let you have a taste of your lover being taken away."
When she said this, Li Rui immediately thought of Li Xiaona. His heart ached. He didn't know when he fell in love with that girl. Did it start from the moment he found out that she wasn't his niece? Anyway, who didn't love beautiful girls? It was reasonable that he liked her. She seemed to like him a little too … Since they liked each other, she might as well not marry to the provincial capital. She could stay in Qingyang and let him take care of her … But wait, what could he take care of her? Could he marry her and give her a family and support? Obviously, she couldn't. Since that was the case, how could she have the face to stop her from getting married?
He was worried about Li Xiaona, so he called Dong Jieyu again, hoping to know something about Li Xiaona's psychological situation from her. The reason why he didn't ask Li Xiaona directly was that he was afraid that he would hear something like "I am willing to marry Xu Gengnian" from her mouth.
Dong Jieyu said that Li Xiaona came to ask for leave in the morning. Since then, she hadn't been seen. She was probably still having a difficult and complicated mental struggle.
Logically speaking, he should be very happy to hear this. After all, Li Xiaona did not agree. However, thinking about Lu Qingman's theory last night, he felt that it was more and more dangerous. If Li Xiaona did not want to marry Xu Gengnian at all, why would she think about it now?
Dong Jieyu said sourly, "Now you can relax, your family's Xiao Na didn't agree." Li Ruixin said gloomily, "Are you really stupid or just pretending to be stupid? Even though she didn't agree, she didn't refuse either. Now that she hasn't refused, it's even more dangerous. "Dong Jieyu snorted," Li Rui, that's enough! You only have eyes for your family's Little Na! It's been a few days already. Because of your family's Little Na, you told me to scram and die. Today, you're saying that I'm stupid. Hmph, so you're this kind of person. If I'd known, I wouldn't have bothered with you. " Li Rui smiled bitterly. "You're jealous again. How many times have I told you? I don't have that kind of dirty relationship with her. Besides, I'm just joking with you. Can I really scold you? " Dong Jieyu said, "Anyway, you've never scolded me like that before. You're just tired of the old because you have a new person." Li Rui said seriously, "First, Xiao Na isn't my new person. Second, you'll never be my old person. You'll always be my newest treasure." Dong Jieyu scolded, "Aiyo, you're so jealous that my teeth are falling out. Disgusting. I'm hanging up!" After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Li Rui smiled at the phone, but when he thought of Xiao Na, he couldn't smile anymore.
Song Chaoyang quickly called him in and gave him a small task. He wanted him to go out with Lao Zhou to buy a few gifts of high quality. Then, at night, he had to rush to the provincial capital to report to the Provincial Party Secretary, Huang Xinnian's house.
Li Rui was slightly surprised. It was already the 29th of December. In a few days, it would be Chinese New Year's Eve. Reporting to Secretary Huang's house tonight? This … was this in line with the rules?
Song Chaoyang saw through his thoughts and sighed. "There's no other way. Secretary Huang and I weren't free before, and tomorrow is the Chinese New Year. It's not good for us to visit him. Since he's free tonight, we can only rush over tonight. Luckily, Secretary Huang doesn't treat me as an outsider. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to see him before Chinese New Year. "
Li Ruixin's heart skipped a beat. If he rushed to the provincial capital tonight, he would definitely have to stay there. Why not take this opportunity to visit his father-in-law, Lu Zhouxing, before Chinese New Year? At the same time, he could also bring Lu Qingman along to let the old man know that his daughter didn't suffer in Qingyang these past few days. After thinking about this, he walked out of the house and contacted Lao Zhou. Then, he packed his things and went downstairs. On the way, he called Lu Qingman and told her about it.
Lu Qingman was also thinking about how to spend Chinese New Year. If she spent Chinese New Year at the Li family's house in Qingyang, then her father, Lu Zhouxing, would definitely be alone in an empty house and would be extremely lonely. However, if she brought her son-in-law, Li Rui, back to the provincial capital, then the lonely person would be her father-in-law, Li Jianmin. She was in a dilemma. After receiving Li Rui's call, she thought about it and said, "Wait here. I'll call our father and ask for his opinion."
Li Rui and Lao Zhou went out to buy gifts. First, they went to the dried fruits and grains store and bought ten big gift boxes. Among the ten gifts, there was one for the provincial party secretary, Huang Xinnian, one for his secretary, Shi Peide, one for his father-in-law, Lu Zhouxing, one for his secretary, Yu Hongwei, and one for his boss, Song Chaoyang. The remaining five gifts were for his boss's house so that he could use them as gifts during the Chinese New Year.
After putting the gift boxes in the car, Lao Zhou said, "If the boss is going back to the provincial capital tonight, then we'll need to send another car."
Li Rui understood what he meant. With the arrival of Chinese New Year, the leaders of the city, county, and district had already started to send gifts. The leaders of all levels of the city, county, and district had either come in person or sent cadres from the reception office or the logistics department. They used all kinds of banners to send gifts to the city leaders who were directly in charge of the city. Even if the city leaders were ruthless and refused to accept gifts, they could only accept them with a smile on Chinese New Year, which was the most important festival of the year. Take Song Chaoyang as an example. Even though he had rejected many invitations to meet him, he still received a lot of gifts. These people had already found out where he lived and drove directly to the entrance of the VIP building without going through him. They either contacted the person in charge of the VIP building or contacted him. In short, after greeting him, they put the gifts they brought in a small warehouse in the VIP building.
Li Rui had gone to take a look at the small warehouse yesterday. It was already filled with all kinds of things, from food to drinks to clothes. There was nothing that was not included, and there was nothing that was incomplete. It was not an exaggeration to say that the gifts in the small storage room could equip a convenience store. Of course, these things couldn't be kept in the small warehouse forever. If the boss, Song Chaoyang, went back to the provincial capital tonight, he could bring them back. However, Car No. 1 definitely couldn't fit so many gifts, so he had to send another truck to accompany them.
In fact, the people who sent gifts were not only sending gifts to high-ranking city leaders like Song Chaoyang. People like Li Rui who were close to the city leaders, although they did not have any real power, they would still send gifts to them. Even if they did not need him for the time being, they still wanted to form a good relationship with him. Starting from the 26th of December, the city government, county, and district leaders started to send gifts to Li Rui's house. Although these leaders wanted to befriend Li Rui, they were too proud of their status to personally go to his house to send gifts. Most of the time, they would send office staff or secretaries to send gifts. Also, the gifts would only be sent in the evening or at night. They would not send gifts in broad daylight.
In the past few days, Lv Qingman had been impatient to receive gifts and receive guests at home. When she was living in the Provincial Capital, she received gifts every year. Some of these gifts were for her father, Lu Zhouxing, and some were for her. But the gifts for her were few and far between. Although she was a middle-level leader in the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department, the department she was in did not have any real power. Also, there were not many superiors and subordinates, so there were not many gifts for her. Now that she was married to Li Rui, the gifts she received in a few days were more than what she had received in a few years. Even the garage was about to be filled. Gao Zixuan's car had to be parked outside. And this was only because her husband was the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee Secretary Song Chaoyang. This made her very surprised. She thought that if her husband became the Municipal Party Committee Secretary one day, she might as well not let anyone live in her house and just store all the gifts.
Li Rui said, "Okay, let's go back and tell the boss. We'll see what he thinks. If he needs to send a car, send it. If he needs to take it away, take it away. Anyway, we can't keep it in the VIP building."
The two of them got into the car and continued to the next shopping location.
On the way, Li Rui received a call from Lu Qingman.
Lu Qingman said excitedly, "Honey, I just told Dad. Dad wants me to bring Father-in-law to the Provincial Capital. We'll spend New Year's Eve together tomorrow night." Li Rui was surprised and happy. He did not expect his father-in-law, Lu Zhouxing, to be so generous and generous. He was willing to spend New Year's Eve with an ordinary person like his father. He said, "Really? That's great. Then we'll have a real family reunion. "Lu Qingman said," What should I do? Should I drive the Zixuan and take Dad there first? " Li Rui thought for a moment and said, "Don't. I'm a little worried about you driving such a long distance. How about this, I'll tell Song Shuji later that I won't be taking the first car. I'll drive you and Dad behind the first car. When the car arrives at the Provincial Capital, you can drive Dad home. Song Shuji and I will meet you at home after we're done with work. "
