Ding Yijing said, "His father called me and asked me to contact you to plead for Li Zhichao." Li Rui laughed, "So you are the helper that Li Zhichao asked for." Ding Yijing said, "I'm not going to save him, I'm just asking." Li Rui whispered, "Darling, you are so obedient! Don't blame me for being ruthless, he really went too far. Luckily I have a lot of friends, otherwise I would have been played to death by him this time. "
Ding Yijing said, "I don't blame you, but Li Zhichao's father did call and said a lot of things to plead for you. What I mean is, no matter what, he is still an old classmate. It's enough to teach him a lesson so that he won't dare to harm you in the future." Li Rui said, "Do you think with his personality, he can learn a lesson?" Ding Yijing didn't say anything after hearing that. After a long time, she said, "Alright, I don't care anymore. If his father calls me again, I'll tell him that you didn't pick up my call." Li Rui said, "Why do you have to go through so much trouble? You can just reject him directly." Ding Yijing said, "How can I do that? Forget it, I won't talk about it anymore. You are busy. "
In the next few days, the Li family didn't give up on Li Zhichao. They tried to get him out of the city through their relatives and friends. During this period, they used a lot of powerful leaders, such as the deputy director of the Northern District Public Security Bureau, and the captain of the City Public Security Bureau's economic investigation team. But no matter who it was, they couldn't get Li Zhichao out.
After Li Rui's father saw Li Zhichao in the detention center, he started to call Zhang Bing, Yang Peng, and other old classmates who were close to Li Rui. He wanted to ask them for Li Rui's home address. He thought that if Li Rui didn't pick up the phone, he would go to his house. But Zhang Bing and Yang Peng either didn't pick up the phone or said that they didn't know.
Even so, Li Rui's father wasn't discouraged. He went to the Municipal Party Committee to plead with Li Rui face to face, but he was stopped by the old gatekeeper when he entered the door. After he explained the purpose of his visit, the old gatekeeper called Li Rui to ask if he should let him in.
Li Rui said, "Just say that I'm not in the office."
Thus, Father Li received the old gatekeeper's reply, "Director Li is not in. No one is answering the phone."
Li Rui's father was still unwilling to give up. He waited at the entrance of the Municipal Party Committee until Li Rui came out. However, Li Rui was always by Song Chaoyang's side. If he didn't come out, he would take the Municipal Party Committee's car number one. How could he meet him?
Mr. Li waited for two days but didn't see him. Only then did he give up and return home helplessly.
These days, Li Rui was busy with work and the wedding with Lu Qingman, so he didn't pay attention to the progress of Li Zhichao's case. However, he already knew about Li Zhichao's outcome.
He said that he was busy with the wedding matters, but all the wedding matters were taken care of in the provincial capital. What did he need to be busy with? It was nothing more than taking the opportunity to talk to his "little wife" Gao Zixuan on the phone. In the process of learning about the wedding arrangements, he flirted with her.
There wasn't much work to do this week. After all, it was the first week after the holidays. Most people still hadn't recovered from the blissful New Year's holiday. The party and government organizations, from the provincial government to the county, were still in the festive atmosphere. Every day, they only went to work for a short while. The rest of the day was spent chatting, drinking tea, and eating in various offices. It could be said that this was the most relaxing day of the year.
Due to the start of school, Sun Shuqin and Song Xue had to rush back to the provincial capital. After Song Xue returned to the provincial capital, she had to take the train to Shanghai to start her second semester in university.
Before Song Xue left, she called Li Rui to her room and asked him to stand next to her. She also touched his head to hers and took a selfie with her phone.
Li Rui felt that this action was too intimate. Even though he was older than her by more than ten years, it was too intimate. If Song Chaoyang and his wife saw this, it would be very awkward. After she finished taking the selfie, he asked, "Xiao Xue, what are you doing …" Song Xue said resentfully, "I have no choice. There are still a lot of people chasing me in school. I can't even avoid them. You don't know, but there are people who don't sleep in the middle of the night and call my name in front of our dormitory building. I'm so annoyed. My roommate gave me an idea. She said that I should find an older brother or a younger brother. Then we can take a selfie together. If someone chases me again, I can show it to him and say that I already have a boyfriend. That way, he won't chase me anymore. I … I don't have an older brother or a younger brother, so I can only take a selfie with you, hehe. " Li Rui finally understood. He smiled and said, "If this works, I don't mind taking a few more selfies with you." Song Xue laughed and said, "No need, one is enough, hehe."
After Li Rui left, Song Xue secretly stuck out her tongue. A sly smile appeared on her beautiful and sweet face. She looked like a little fox who had just learned how to hunt and caught a little rabbit. But as she smiled, her face turned red and her expression became shy and uneasy.
In fact, only she knew in her heart that this idea was not given to her by her roommate. It was her own idea. Moreover, as soon as she had this idea in her mind, she had already thought of asking the tall and handsome Xiao Rui, who was always by her father's side, to cooperate with her. But the strange thing was that when she first came up with this plan, she didn't feel anything wrong. But after taking a selfie with him, she felt shy and embarrassed, as if she had done something shameful.
She opened the photo album on her phone and browsed through the selfie she had just taken. Looking at how close she and Li Rui looked when their heads were together, the little heart in her chest started to beat wildly. Then she looked down at the pair of Adidas running shoes on her feet. Her face turned even redder …
After sending Sun Shuqin and Song Xue off, Li Rui received a call from Dong Jieyu on Saturday afternoon. Dong Jieyu told him over the phone that Governor Xu Gengnian and Li Xiaona had invited him to dinner.
Li Rui was not surprised that Xu Gengnian would secretly appear in Qingyang City. If it were anyone else who could marry a beautiful wife like Li Xiaona at the age of 50, they would also treat her as a treasure and stay by her side. However, he and Li Xiaona wanted to invite him to dinner openly. The meaning behind this was worth pondering.
He called Lu Qingman and told her that he wouldn't be back for dinner tonight. At the same time, he told her that it was Li Xiaona and Xu Gengnian who were treating. Lu Qingman naturally didn't think too much about it. She just told him not to drink. "Drinking too much will kill the semen. The quality of the semen is also not good. You don't want to have a mentally retarded baby, do you?" Li Rui knew that her words made sense, but he was speechless for a while. Well, she's going to forbid me from having sex and also forbid me from drinking?
At 6: 30 in the evening, Li Rui and Dong Jieyu arrived in a private room in Qingyang Hotel's restaurant. When they saw Xu Gengnian and Li Xiaona, they greeted Xu Gengnian one after another, "Governor Xu." "Hello, Governor Xu."
Xu Gengnian still had his signature bright smile on his face. He walked out and greeted the two of them to take a seat. He said with a smile, "Governor Xu isn't here tonight, only Old Xu."
Li Xiaona also stood out and introduced Xu Gengnian, "This is my brother, Li Rui. He's the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee's Secretary, Song Chaoyang. You might have met him before. " Xu Gengnian took the initiative to extend his hand to Li Rui and smiled. "Yes, I've met him before. You look good."
After Xu Gengnian shook hands with Li Rui, Li Xiaona extended her hand to Dong Jieyu and said. "This is Qingyang Hotel's General Manager, Dong Jieyu. She is very good to me, and I treat her as my elder sister. She will be my elder sister in the future." Xu Gengnian shook hands with her again and said. "Xiao Dong, right? Thank you for taking care of Xiao Na." Dong Jieyu was surprised and quickly replied. "You're welcome. This is what I should do."
After the four of them got to know each other, they sat down.
Xu Gengnian first set the tone for this dinner. "I, Old Xu, will say a few words first. Tonight's dinner is just a simple meal for us as a family to sit down and eat together. Why should we be a family? You should know about Xiao Na and me. I shamelessly asked her to be my wife, and she agreed. I am very happy. Both of you are not outsiders. One of you is her elder brother, and the other is her elder sister. From today onwards, we will be a family. There will be no Governor for tonight's dinner. There will only be Old Xu, okay? If both of you don't agree, I will have to address you the same way as Xiao Na. I will call both of you elder brother and elder sister. "
Li Rui and Dong Jieyu did not dare to say anything. They smiled and agreed.
The purpose of this dinner was clear. First, Li Xiaona wanted to introduce Li Rui and Dong Jieyu to Xu Gengnian. This way, she can invite both of them to her wedding in the future. Second, this dinner was also a farewell dinner. After this dinner, Li Xiaona and Xu Gengnian will leave for the Provincial Capital tomorrow. That's why she wanted to inform both of them in advance.
When Li Rui and Dong Jieyu knew that Li Xiaona would leave Qingyang for the Provincial Capital tomorrow, they felt a little regretful. Li Ruixin was even worse. Even the best dishes were tasteless in his mouth.
Xu Gengnian proposed a toast to Li Rui and Dong Jieyu to express his gratitude for taking care of Li Xiaona. After sitting back down, he said, "When Xiao Na arrives at the Provincial Capital, I will arrange a job for her. When she settles down, we will choose a date for the wedding. When the time comes, I will invite both of you to attend the wedding. "
After an hour of dinner, Xu Gengnian went back to his room to rest in the name of being too drunk. He gave Li Xiaona and the other two a chance to catch up and say goodbye.
After Xu Gengnian left, the three of them kept silent at the same time. No one said anything.
In the end, Dong Jieyu was afraid of the awkward silence, so he took the initiative to say, "Xiao Na, I think … Governor Xu treats you well." Li Xiaona nodded and said, "Yes, he treats me very well." As she spoke, her beautiful eyes glanced at Li Rui.
