As soon as he got out of the car, Li Rui dialed Li Yu Lan's number. When the call got through, he asked, "Where are you?" Li Yu Lan said, "I'm in my office. What's up? Are you guys back? I've been notified by the County Mayor's secretary. When you guys come back, I'll look for you and listen to your orders. Haha, from now on, you're my boss. " Li Rui smiled but didn't joke with her. It wasn't that he didn't want to, but that he couldn't. He didn't have the time, so he said, "Have you bought the things I asked you to buy?" Li Yu Lan said, "You mean those two pairs of stockings? I bought them a long time ago. But I'm confused. Why would a man like you need a woman's stockings? You … "Li Rui cut her off." Where are the stockings? "Li Yu Lan said," They're in my hand. What are you doing with them? " Li Rui said, "Okay, I'll bring Mayor Wu Nan to your office right away. When you get there, just hand her the stockings you bought and leave her in your office. Don't ask why, just do as I say. I'll bring her there right away." After that, he hung up the phone.
He put the phone away and looked up to search for Wu Nan in the crowd of people getting out of their cars. He soon found her. He did not know why, but she had fallen behind. The members of the Eastern State delegation who were supposed to be behind her had already made their way up the stairs. But she was still standing in front of the East State Volkswagen Roadster. She was whispering something to her secretary, who was also the man who had been hostile to him before.
Seeing that the master and servant were talking, Li Rui didn't go forward. He just stood there and waited for a few seconds. When he looked up again, he suddenly saw that Wu Nan was looking at him. She had already finished talking with her secretary. Li Rui guessed that she had finished talking, so he quickly walked up to her.
"Mayor Wu!"
A respectful and warm greeting. In exchange, Wu Nan nodded and smiled. She opened her mouth to speak, but before she could say anything, her secretary suddenly stepped forward and coldly asked Li Rui, "Mayor Wu needs to rest now. If you have something to say, can we talk about it later?"
Even though he used "… Is that okay?" This kind of sentence sounded like a request, but everyone could hear the refusal and command in his words. It was equivalent to saying, "Mayor Wu needs to rest. Get out of here immediately. Don't bother her." His tone was full of dissatisfaction and contempt for Li Rui.
When Wu Nan heard her secretary speaking to Li Rui in such a tone, she was astonished. She had been in the bureaucracy for nearly twenty years and had seen countless people. She had experienced who knew how much filth and intrigue in the bureaucracy. Naturally, she could hear the dissatisfaction and resentment in her secretary's tone towards Li Rui. She was very puzzled. Although her secretary's overall quality wasn't the best, he was still pretty good at dealing with people. Regardless of whether it was his superiors or his subordinates, he was always courteous. It was rare to see him speak to anyone in such a tone. Why was he speaking to Li Rui, a person he didn't know and had just met for the first time, with such a bad attitude? Could it be that the two of them had known each other for a long time? Otherwise, there was no way to explain the current situation.
She was very surprised and did not say anything for the time being. Therefore, Li Rui could only face her male secretary's "gunfire" alone.
Li Rui smiled at him apologetically and said, "Hello, I think you may have misunderstood me. Please allow me to say what I want to say, okay? I want to invite Mayor Wu to a quiet place to rest for a while. " The male secretary had a hunch that he wanted to talk to Wu Nan about something, but after being exposed, he went with the flow and cunningly changed his mind. This made him even angrier and disgusted. He said impatiently, "No need. There are already arrangements in Jiupo Town. You don't need to do that."
After saying this, he also felt that his words were a bit rude. It was not good to say it in front of the boss. It would make his attitude seem stiff, so he added, "As the secretary of a leader, you should know that the leader's schedule can't be changed easily. Otherwise, there will be trouble. If your personal wishes affect the leader's schedule and something goes wrong, who will bear the responsibility? Can you bear the responsibility? "
His words were even more impolite. He directly criticized Li Rui. If outsiders who did not know the inside story heard this, they would think that he was Li Rui's leader and was lecturing Li Rui on how to be a good secretary.
Li Rui was not angry after hearing this. He turned to look at Wu Nan with a warm smile. He knew better than anyone that the person who could really decide Wu Nan's schedule as the mayor was not the little male secretary, nor was it the people in the General Office of the Municipal Government. It was also not him, but Wu Nan herself. As long as she agreed with his suggestion, there would be no problem.
After listening to the secretary's words, Wu Nan's expression was not very good. From the perspective of an outsider, she found that her secretary's words against Li Rui were very offensive. It indirectly showed his flaws in character, such as narrow-mindedness, narrow-mindedness, and so on. On the other hand, Li Rui was calm and elegant. He was just like a good young master in the officialdom. The conversation between the two not only embarrassed her secretary to the extreme, but also made her, the boss, lose face. It was really hateful. If it was not for the fact that she could not teach him a lesson in front of Li Rui, who was an outsider, she would have really taught him a lesson.
She said with a cold face, "Guan Bao, there's nothing for you to do here. You can go do your own things."
When Li Rui heard her say this name, his ears twitched. Guan Bao? How could there be someone with this name? Did he take the meaning of the idiom "Looking at a leopard through a tube"? Tsk tsk, this is really new. Originally, people with the surname "Guan" were already very rare, and it was even rarer to have such a fierce and fierce animal named "Leopard". No wonder this guy was so aggressive towards everyone.
That secretary Guan Bao was not a fool. He could tell from his boss Wu Nan's words that she was dissatisfied with him, as well as her approval of Li Rui. His heart was filled with jealousy, but he could not say anything. He nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go in first. But how do I find you later?" Wu Nan did not pay attention to him. Guan Bao was very embarrassed. He said to himself, "I'll be with the leader of the inspection team. Then I'll go in first." After he finished speaking, he walked towards the front door of the small building with his head lowered.
However, when he passed by Li Rui, he raised his eyes and gave him a fierce glare. His eyes were filled with hatred. Li Rui saw this and sighed in his heart. Fine, I've attracted jealousy again. But can you blame me for this? I didn't want to either.
Wu Nan waited until Guan Bao was far away before she smiled apologetically at Li Rui. She said in a gentle tone, "Where are you taking me to rest?" Li Rui waved his right hand and said, "Please follow me, Mayor Wu." After he finished speaking, he led the way.
Wu Nan followed behind him. She knew that there must be a deeper meaning for him to take her to rest alone, but she did not know what it was. She wanted to ask, but she was afraid that it would make her look like the mayor was not shrewd enough. She forcibly suppressed her curiosity and did not ask.
Li Rui took her into the building and brought her all the way to Li Yulan's office. He raised his hand and knocked on the door.
The door opened quickly, and Li Yu Lan's nervous face appeared from within.
When Li Yulan saw that it was him, love and hate immediately appeared in her eyes. She wanted to say something, but she quickly caught sight of Wu Nan behind him. She quickly closed her mouth and opened the door wide. She waved her hand and invited the two into the office. She said, "Mayor Wu, please come in!"
Li Rui introduced her to Wu Nan. "Mayor Wu, this is Li Yulan, the Deputy Secretary of Jiupo Town's Party Committee. In a while, I will ask her to accompany you to visit the dry fruit and grain processing factory. She is familiar with the situation in Xishan Village and the situation of the aid-the-poor base. She is also very familiar with the processing factory. With her accompanying you, you will understand more in detail and thoroughly."
Wu Nan said, "Oh, okay. Hello, Secretary Li. Sorry to trouble you." After she finished speaking, she politely extended her hand.
Li Yulan hurriedly shook her hand and said some polite words.
Li Rui said, "I won't be going in. Secretary Li, why don't you ask Mayor Wu to take a seat and make her some tea so that she can rest for a while." As he spoke, he saw Li Yulan looking over and gave her a look.
Li Yulan knew the meaning behind his look. He wanted her to give the stockings she had bought to Wu Nan, but he was worried about how to take them out. Was he supposed to just give them to her without any explanation? She hurriedly gave him a look, hinting that he should explain more.
Who knew that Li Rui didn't even look at her and turned to leave.
Li Yulan was very distressed, but she couldn't chase after him. She could only curse him in her heart. She invited Wu Nan into the house to sit on the sofa and poured her some tea.
Wu Nan chatted with her casually. She was also very puzzled. Did Li Rui bring her here to rest just to introduce her to Li Yulan?
After Li Yulan finished the formalities, she didn't know what to say to Wu Nan. She thought about the secret mission Li Rui had arranged for her and secretly scratched her head. After thinking about it, she didn't have any other ideas. She could only go back to her desk and take out the two pairs of stockings she had just bought from the drawer. She walked back to the sofa and handed them to Wu Nan. She smiled and said, "Mayor Wu, this is for you." After she finished speaking, she remembered Li Rui's order to give the stockings to Wu Nan and walked out of the office. This order was very strange, but he must have his reasons. She said, "Please take a seat. I'll go out for a while." After she finished speaking, she walked to the door.
