Li Rui saw that Du Minsheng was wholeheartedly thinking about his future and felt very grateful. He nodded heavily and said, "Don't worry, Secretary General. I will definitely take this matter very seriously. I will also seize this opportunity to train my ability."
Du Minsheng nodded and said, "Of course, even though poverty alleviation is very important, you can't put all your efforts into it. As for your work this year, I hope that you can focus more on urban construction and development while doing a good job of poverty alleviation. A few days ago, the Secretary talked to me and mentioned that the focus of this year's work will be on the old city renovation and urban construction. "
Li Rui said, "I know about this situation. During the Municipal Party Committee's plenary meeting before the Spring Festival, Mayor Sun mentioned this point in the New Year's Municipal Government Work Outline. It seems that there will be a lot of urban construction this year."
Du Minsheng said, "It's good that you know. In short, you will be busy with whatever the Secretary wants to do. Of course, as the Secretary, I won't be able to escape."
After he finished talking about business, he began to talk about private matters. He said, "This Saturday night, you and Qingman will come to my house for dinner."
Of course, this was a good thing. Li Rui agreed without thinking. He thought that his immediate superior was his wife's biological uncle, which meant that he was also his uncle. He was proud and in disbelief, as if he was in a dream. He thought that he had accumulated good karma in his previous life. In this life, he actually had the Secretary General of the Municipal Party Committee as his uncle. Of course, he also had a father-in-law who was a provincial governor. However, in summary, he had to say that he had married a good wife. If it weren't for this good wife, how could he have an uncle who was the Secretary General of the Municipal Party Committee, and how could he have a father-in-law who was a provincial governor?
When he thought about this, his love for Qingman grew stronger and stronger. He also became more determined to cherish and protect her for the rest of her life.
After work that night, Li Rui sent his boss, Song Chaoyang, to Qingyang Hotel's room. After he came out of the VIP building, he did not go home. Instead, he went to the front of the hotel, which was the main building. During the day, he had already made an appointment with Dong Jieyu to meet at night to discuss attending Li Xiaona's wedding on the weekend in the provincial capital.
For the past two days, Song Chaoyang had been getting off work early. Therefore, when Li Rui knocked on the door of Dong Jieyu's general manager's office, it was only eight o 'clock. For people who were used to the nightlife, eight o 'clock in the evening was just the beginning, even though it was already dark outside.
He knocked on the door a few times, but no one answered. No one opened the door. Li Rui frowned. Was Jie Yu not in? He tried to twist the doorknob, but to his surprise, the door wasn't locked and he pushed it open. Li Rui did not know if Dong Jieyu had deliberately left the door open for him, or if she had something to do at the last minute, so there was no need to lock the door. Casually pushing open a foot wide crack in the door, he peeked inside. The lights were on inside, but it was empty. There was not a single person in sight. He was secretly curious, but he did not hesitate and walked in. In any case, Jie Yu was not an outsider. Even if she found out that he had barged into her office, she would not say anything.
He walked to the sofa in front of the guest and placed his briefcase on it. Then he took out his phone and called Dong Jieyu. He wanted to ask her where she was and why she was not waiting for him in her office.
Just as he made the call, a melodious ringtone came from the desk. Li Rui turned to look and saw Dong Jieyu's phone on her boss's desk. Seeing this, he laughed bitterly and could only put the phone away. He thought to himself, The door is open, the lights are on, and the phone is not with her. Even if Dong Jieyu went out, she probably would not have gone far. She might have gone to the bathroom and would be back soon.
Just as he was thinking about this, there was a shadow at the door, and a tall and thin figure walked in. Li Rui turned his head and saw clearly that the person was Dong Jieyu. He asked, "Where did you go?"
Dong Jieyu was dressed in work attire. She was wearing a shirt, a suit jacket, and a pair of dark blue slim-fit trousers. She wore a pair of elegant black high heels, which accentuated her tall and slender figure. At the same time, it also added a bit of the charm of a city beauty. Her high heels exposed the soles of her feet, and she wore black or dark blue stockings on her feet. Not a single bit of skin was exposed, which added to her overall cold and solemn feeling.
Of course, this was not all of her attire. She also had a moon-white woolen coat that was hanging on the hanger. She would wear it when she went home later.
She walked in and saw that Li Rui was already standing in the room. She was slightly surprised and asked, "When did you get here?" Li Rui smiled and said, "I just got here. No one opened the door for me when I knocked, so I had to open the door myself. Are you trying to play the empty city strategy with me?" Dong Jieyu heard his witty words and could not help but laugh. She closed the door behind her and walked to her desk. She began to pack her things. It looked like she was getting ready to get off work.
Li Rui walked over and stood in front of her desk. He saw that she was busy and casually asked, "What's your plan?" Dong Jieyu glanced at him and said, "What's my plan? Are you asking about the schedule or the money? " Li Rui said, "There's no need to talk about the schedule. The two of us will definitely go there together. Just drive your car. I'll drive to and fro." Dong Jieyu pursed her lips and said, "Who wants to go there with you?" Li Rui smiled and walked two steps behind her. He gently reached out and hugged her slender waist. He took the opportunity to pull her into his embrace. Dong Jieyu's body trembled and froze in his embrace. She slightly tilted her head and stared at him with a look of disdain. Li Rui whispered into her ear, "What are you looking at? Can't I hug you? "
Dong Jieyu scolded him in a low voice and said, "I'm warning you. I have the smell of perfume on me. If you don't want your wife to find out when you get home, you'd better let go of me immediately." Li Rui was shocked when he heard this. He quickly let go of her and took a few steps back. Dong Jieyu saw that he was scared off by her and felt both funny and sad. She pursed her lips and did not say anything. She picked up her purse and said, "Let's talk about it on Sunday. If it's convenient, we'll go together. If it's not convenient, we'll go our separate ways and meet at the wedding hotel."
After she said this, Li Rui suddenly remembered that when he sent Li Xiaona and Xu Gengnian off last year, he had mentioned to Qingman that when Xiaona's wedding was held in the provincial capital, he would bring her along. At that time, she did not refuse. Now that he mentioned it, he had to bring her along on Sunday. If he brought her along, it would definitely be inconvenient for him to go with this baby in front of him. They could only go their separate ways.
Suddenly, Dong Jieyu said faintly, "Xiaona's wedding will only have the two of us. Isn't it a little too small? There's not even an old person. If Governor Xu's relatives and friends see us, won't they talk nonsense? If we are looked down upon at the wedding, Xiaona's life will not be easy in the future. "
It was the first time that Li Rui heard this kind of consideration. After thinking carefully, he felt that what she said was very reasonable. If he wanted Xiaona to have face at the wedding, have a status after marrying into the Xu family, and not be looked down upon, there must be more people in her family. Only with more people in her family would she have confidence and power. But the problem now was that Xiaona had no family. Her biological father could not accept her, her adoptive father resented and hated her, and her biological mother could not even take care of her, so no one wanted her. She was now like an abandoned child. In this way, her so-called "family" naturally did not have people. Even if there were only two "family members", him and Dong Jieyu, who were her "recognized" brothers and sisters, they were not her real relatives. Alas, this girl was really pitiful. Her life was really hard.
Dong Jieyu saw him frown and knew that he was also thinking about this problem. She asked, "You are usually very smart and clever. Can you think of a way to support Xiaona? No matter what, she is still your little lover. " Li Rui looked up and glared at her. "You're talking nonsense again. Do you believe that I won't spank you? Xiaona and I have a pure brother-sister relationship. Don't talk nonsense. " Dong Jieyu did not get angry when she heard this. She smiled and said, "Okay, I was wrong. You two are not little lovers, but good siblings. Then you should think of a way to support your good sister at the wedding." Li Rui thought for a moment and had an idea. He said, "The solution is very simple. You can either find people or give more money."
Dong Jieyu said, "Tell me more clearly. How do we find people and give more money?" Li Rui said, "Finding people is simple. We can find a group of people to pretend to be Xiaona's family members and attend the wedding to support her. As for giving more money, if we can't find suitable people to pretend to be Xiaona's family members, but we don't want Xiaona to be looked down upon by the Xu family, then we can only give more money. Didn't your brother give me a sum of money before? I haven't spent that money yet. When Xiaona's wedding is held, I will use the name of Xiaona's brother to give that money to Governor Xu. It will be the dowry from her family. Although it's not a lot, it's not a small amount. It should be able to give Xiaona some face. " Dong Jieyu looked straight at him and said, "500,000 yuan. You gave it to Xiaona just like that. Don't you feel bad at all?"
