The distance from the living room to the bedroom was only a dozen steps, so it only took a few breaths to reach the bedroom. When they reached the bed, Li Rui carefully placed Wu Nan on the bed and removed the slippers on her feet. When he placed her head on the pillow, he noticed a stocking with a band-aid on it. His heart skipped a beat. Wasn't this the stocking she wore yesterday? Why did she put it next to the pillow instead of throwing it away? He vaguely felt that it had something to do with him, but he didn't have time to think too much about it. He pulled the quilt over and completely covered her body, leaving only her head exposed.
After he was done, he wiped the sweat off his forehead and lowered his head to ask, "Mayor Wu, Mayor Wu, how is it? Do you need to go to the hospital?" Wu Nan closed her eyes and slowly shook her head.
Li Rui thought for a moment, then took her right hand out from under the quilt and placed it on her wrist to check her pulse. Of course, he didn't know how to check her pulse. He was only checking Wu Nan's pulse to determine if there was a big problem. If her pulse was too fast or too slow, he couldn't listen to her and had to send her to the hospital immediately. If her pulse was normal, he didn't need to be nervous.
Wu Nan felt his movements, but didn't suspect his intentions. She only asked curiously, "What are you doing?" Li Rui said generously, "I'm checking your pulse to see if there's a big problem." Wu Nan said, "Oh, is there a big problem?" Li Rui smiled embarrassedly and said, "I'm not finished yet." Wu Nan's lips curled into a bitter smile.
Li Rui felt Wu Nan's pulse for a while. After all, he wasn't a professional doctor, so he couldn't feel anything. He could only listen to his own pulse. When he felt that they were similar, he sighed in relief and said, "From your pulse, you should be fine." After saying that, he gently put her hand back into the quilt. When he retracted his hand, he carefully covered her with the quilt.
Wu Nan slowly opened his eyes and looked at him with relief. He said, "Xiao Rui, thank you so much!" Li Rui said politely, "Mayor Wu, you don't have to be so polite with me." After that, he asked, "Will you be fine after lying down for a while?" Wu Nan nodded. Li Rui knew that it wasn't convenient for him to stay in her room for a long time, so he straightened up and said, "Then I'll go out first. Call me if you need anything." Wu Nan fixed her beautiful eyes on him. She didn't urge him to stay, but she didn't ask him to leave either.
Li Rui smiled at her and turned to leave. As soon as he left, the light in Wu Nan's beautiful eyes immediately dimmed.
As soon as Li Rui walked into the corridor, Guan Bao, who was waiting outside, stopped him.
Guan Bao asked anxiously, "How is it, Director Li? My boss, she … has she forgiven me? "
When Li Rui didn't know how to answer him, he suddenly thought of Wu Nan, who was weakly lying in bed. He had an idea. Should he tell him that her boss wasn't feeling well and let him take the opportunity to show off? Maybe he could win back Wu Nan's heart. But on second thought, Wu Nan had already completely rejected him because of his bad character. No matter how he tried to show off, it would be useless. Instead, it might make Wu Nan hate him even more. He could only give up on the idea.
At this time, Guan Bao seemed to realize something. He suddenly shouted happily, "You were in there for so long. You must have persuaded her, right?" Li Rui looked at him sympathetically. He thought to himself, I've already told you that the greater your expectations, the greater your disappointment. Why are you still thinking about the good things? He sighed bitterly, "I'm sorry, Director Guan. I've tried my best!"
His line had appeared in many movies and TV series, but the background was usually outside the operating room. And the person who said this was usually the chief surgeon, but Li Rui was obviously not a doctor. But miraculously, his line had the same effect as in the movies and TV series. When Guan Bao heard his line, he was instantly like a family member of a patient who had been sentenced to death. In an instant, his face turned ashen, his eyes lost focus, his mouth wide open, and he stood there frozen. He was no different from a dead person.
Li Rui wanted to comfort him, but then he thought that he didn't like him and didn't have any friendship with him. Why should he talk nonsense with him? He said softly, "I'll go back first." After that, he walked away.
Guan Bao acted as if he didn't hear him. He was still motionless like a petrified statue.
Li Rui went downstairs to the lobby and found a quiet corner. He took out his phone and called the Deputy General Manager of the hotel, Li Xiaoyue.
That day, the provincial and municipal leaders were having dinner at the Qingyang Hotel. As the Deputy General Manager, Li Xiaoyue was very busy. Fortunately, the leaders didn't eat for long before the banquet ended. She just had time to take a breather. When she received a call from Li Rui, she was naturally depressed. She immediately said, "My good brother, can you let me take a breather?" Li Rui laughed and said, "What's wrong? Are you tired? There's a provincial and municipal leaders dinner at the hotel today. It's really tiring. But you're not a front-line worker. Are you that tired? " Li Xiaoyue sighed and said, "Although I don't have to work, I still have to run around and give orders. There are so many things to do. My legs are sore from running." Li Rui laughed and said, "Is that so? If I have time later, I'll give you a massage." When Li Xiaoyue heard this, she immediately beamed and said coquettishly, "Really? My good brother, you're not joking with me, right? "
Li Rui said, "No, I'm serious. You've helped me so much and I haven't been able to repay you. Now that your legs are sore, it's only right for me to give you a massage. But now is not the right time. I have to help you build some good karma. "Li Xiaoyue was surprised," What good karma? "Li Rui said," Come here. Come to the lobby on the first floor of the VIP building. I'll tell you in person. " Li Xiaoyue couldn't suppress her curiosity and said, "Okay, I'll be right there. Wait for me."
Li Rui waited in the lobby for about two minutes before Li Xiaoyue walked in with heavy steps.
Li Rui raised his hand and gestured for her to come to him. He said in a low voice, "The mayor of the Eastern State, Wu Nan, is staying in the VIP building of our hotel …" Li Xiaoyue interrupted, "I know. What's wrong?" Li Rui said, "She's not feeling well right now. I just helped her lie down to rest. Go to her room and take a look at her. Stay with her for a while and see if there's anything you can do for her. For example, feed her water or something. If she doesn't need anything, stay by her side and wait for her to recover before you come out. " Li Xiaoyue was very perceptive and immediately understood what he meant. She said, "This is what you meant by building some good karma for me?"
Li Rui nodded. In his heart, he felt that this was a bit utilitarian. Of course, the utilitarian here would be credited to Li Xiaoyue and not him. However, his intentions were good and he was wholeheartedly thinking about Wu Nan's health. Therefore, he didn't explain too much.
When Li Xiao Yue saw him nod his head, her mind immediately started to work. People were most appreciative when they were at their worst. For example, if a poor person was about to starve to death and you lent him a bag of rice, he might remember your kindness for the rest of his life. However, if a rich person gave him a bag of rice, he wouldn't feel that you had done him a great favor. This principle was also applicable when people were sick. At this time, if Li Xiao Yue went over to take care of the sick Wu Nan, even if she only poured her a cup of water and chatted with her, she would definitely remember this favor in her heart and form a good relationship with her. Perhaps in the future, she would repay her kindness. However, if she was not sick, she was afraid that even if she took the initiative to pour her a cup of water, she wouldn't accept it. This was such a good opportunity, of course, she had to seize it.
When she thought of this, her charming eyes lit up and she couldn't help but swallow her saliva. When she turned to look at Li Rui, her eyes were full of love. She whispered, "Good brother, since you've given me such a big favor, I won't be polite with you. I'll accept it. I'll remember all the good you've done for me in my heart. If you need me in the future, just let me know. I'll do anything for you without hesitation. "
Li Rui waved his hand and said, "We're on the same side. Why are you saying these foreign words? Hurry up and take care of Mayor Wu. I'll wait for Song Shuji on the first floor and wait for you. If you come back early, we can find a place where I can massage your feet. " Li Xiaoyue nodded and said, "I'll go up now … Oh right, before I go up, can I get a cup of warm milk?" Li Rui thought for a while and said, "Although warm milk is good, it doesn't seem to be suitable for Mayor Wu's illness. How about this, tell the kitchen to make a bowl of porridge for Mayor Wu to replenish his blood and qi. For example, red date and lotus seed porridge, pork liver and spinach porridge, etc. Go up and take care of Mayor Wu first. When the porridge is ready, ask the waiter to send it up. " When Li Xiaoyue heard this, she sighed in admiration and praised, "You're so attentive and considerate. Oh my god, you're born to serve leaders."
Her words were of course a compliment, but Li Rui felt a little awkward when he heard it. He thought that no one was born to serve leaders. But since they chose to serve leaders, they naturally had to learn to be more meticulous and think more when they encountered problems. Only then could they do their job well and strive for greater progress. When they improved to the point where they didn't need to be a secretary, they could become leaders. When they became leaders, they wouldn't have to think about these trivial matters and could use their thoughts on the bigger picture. To put it bluntly, it meant that in their position, they had to do their job well.
Of course, even though he felt awkward when he heard it, he wasn't angry. After all, he had been friends with Li Xiaoyue for a long time. There was no need to get angry over anything a friend said. Moreover, she didn't mean it.
After the two finished talking, Li Xiaoyue hurried to the front desk and said a few words to the waiter there. The waiter went straight to the kitchen. Li Xiaoyue said goodbye to Li Rui and went upstairs to take care of Wu Nan.
