When Li Rui saw her suddenly take out the red packet, he remembered that Sister Qing had called him on the way to the countryside with Wu Nan yesterday. She had asked him to get the money from her after returning to the Municipal Party Committee. However, it was very late when he returned to the city, and then he had to pick up Wu Nan and his boss for dinner, so he didn't have time to take care of her. He didn't expect that she would take the initiative to send a red packet to him today, regardless of her identity as a municipal leader. Tsk, tsk, Sister Qing was indeed Sister Qing. She was so nice to him.
He was about to say something polite to Zheng Zijuan, but Zheng Zijuan had already gone to knock on the door of Song Chaoyang's office after giving him a glance. He had to give up.
After she went into the inner room, Li Rui listened carefully. There was no one outside the door, so he secretly opened the red packet and looked inside. There was a thin stack of red banknotes inside. There were not many banknotes, only ten banknotes. Ten banknotes were one thousand banknotes. In this era, one thousand banknotes was a lot in a city like Qingyang, where the average wage and consumption level were not high. Li Rui had only contributed one thousand banknotes to his sister Li Xiaona's wedding. Therefore, when he saw the amount, he was quite touched.
Of course, when it came to the complicated feelings between him and Zheng Zijuan, even ten thousand banknotes were not much, let alone one thousand. It was not enough to express their feelings. However, banknotes were banknotes. They should not carry too much emotion. If they wanted to express their feelings, they could express it in other ways. If they focused on banknotes, it was likely to be self-defeating. If Zheng Zijuan had not given Li Rui one thousand banknotes, but ten thousand, or even one hundred thousand banknotes, then Li Rui would have been fine. However, if he went home with such a huge amount of banknotes, what would Lu Qingman think and say when she knew the amount of banknotes?
Therefore, giving money was also a form of knowledge. Too much money wouldn't do as it would cause misunderstandings. Too little wouldn't do as it would cause dissatisfaction. Only when the amount was just right could everyone be happy.
Li Ruixin thought that since Sister Qingman had paid for his wedding, he should treat her to a meal. It could be considered a wedding banquet. Although the wedding banquet could not be any later, the problem was that he had to accompany his boss all day long. He did not even have time to have dinner with his wife Qingman. How could he have time to have dinner with Sister Qing? Just thinking about it gave him a headache.
Things gave him a headache one after another. At 4: 30 in the afternoon, an unexpected woman called him.
"I've arrived in Qingyang City. I'm still staying in Shengjing Hotel. It's the same room as last time. Come and find me after work!"
The other party said these words casually. His tone was casual and did not allow for rejection, as if everything was as it should be.
Hearing her words, Li Rui was so surprised that he almost bit his tongue off. He cried out involuntarily, "You've come to Qingyang City?" The woman on the other end snorted and said, "We agreed that if you don't come to the provincial capital to find me and give me an explanation, I'll go to Qingyang City to find you and ask for an explanation. I've been waiting for you in the provincial capital for two days, but you didn't come. Then I have no choice but to go to Qingyang City to find you. " After hearing this, Li Rui's heart was sour and sweet. The feeling was not very good, but it was still delicious. However, he had a headache. He thought to himself that it was over. He was entangled with Ms. Zhang again, and she was even more entangled. It would be difficult to get rid of her in the future. He said painfully in a low voice, "But I don't have much time at night …"
The woman who called him was Zhang Zixiao. Last weekend, Li Rui went to the provincial capital to attend the wedding of Xu Gengnian and Li Xiaona. He happened to meet Zhang Zixiao in the hotel. After a fight, they resumed their previous relationship. At that time, Li Rui was forced to promise Zhang Zixiao that he would give her an explanation. They made an agreement for this, which was mentioned by Zhang Zixiao on the phone just now. After Li Rui returned to Qingyang City, he was busy with trivial matters in his life and work, so he forgot about this matter. However, he did not expect that Zhang Zixiao would suddenly come to Qingyang City directly from the provincial capital, which caught him off guard.
After hearing his words, Zhang Zixiao could no longer maintain her calm tone. She immediately became angry and scolded, "Li Mu, you bastard! You promised me that you would come to the provincial capital to apologize to me, and then you said that you might not have time. I endured it. Let me tell you, if you don't have time, I have time. I can go to Qingyang City to find you. However, when I came to Qingyang City to find you, you f * cking said that you didn't have time. Are you kidding me? Ah? Where did your time go? Ah? You have to make it clear to me today. If you don't, I won't let you off! "
Li Rui was scolded by her and frowned. He said in a low voice, "I gave my time to my boss. I can't get off work on time at night. I have to wait until eight or nine o 'clock to be free. At that time, I have to go home to accompany my wife. I don't have time to accompany you …" Zhang Zixiao suddenly said in a strange tone, "Didn't you say that you were single? Why do you suddenly have a wife? "Li Rui said awkwardly," We just got married not long ago. "Zhang Zixiao gritted her teeth and scolded," Bastard, you lied to me. So you were lying to me! " Li Rui hurriedly said, "No, I didn't lie to you. I'm telling the truth. When we met, I was really single. But I just got married before the New Year. This is true." Zhang Zixiao snorted and didn't say anything. Li Rui felt sorry for her. After all, she came all the way from the provincial capital to look for him. Her feelings for him were deep. He really felt sorry for her by saying that he didn't have time. He said, "I'll think of a way. I'll try to spend more time with you at night." Zhang Zixiao was satisfied and said, "You said it. If you don't come at that time, I won't forgive you."
After the phone call, Li Rui's back was covered in a layer of cold sweat. He thought to himself that it was a close call. Luckily, Secretary-General Du Minsheng didn't come over when he was on the phone. Otherwise, if he heard something like "I have to accompany my wife, I don't have time to accompany you," Li Rui would be dead. Thinking of this, he had a headache. Why did the governor's daughter keep pestering him? He didn't treat her well, so why did she throw herself at him? If he was pestered by her, first, she might find out his true identity and expose Liu Annie. Second, his wife, Qingman, might find clues. No matter which of these two reasons, he would have a slim chance of survival. Alas, what should he do?
He began to worry. He waited until it was time to get off work in the afternoon, but he still couldn't think of a way to deal with Zhang Zixiao's pestering. At this time, another woman called him.
"Hello, is this Xiao Rui?" Her voice was soft and charming. Just hearing her voice made Li Rui feel as if half of his bones had gone limp.
He felt that this woman's voice was familiar, as if he had heard it yesterday, but he couldn't remember who it was. He could only answer vaguely, "Yes, it's me. Hello …" The woman thought he recognized her, so she didn't introduce herself. She smiled and asked, "Are you off work?" Li Rui smiled bitterly and said, "It's time to get off work, but I can't get off work yet." The woman said, "Is that so? When can you get off work? I want to treat you to a meal, haha. "Li Ruiqi said," Treat me to a meal? " The woman said, "Yes. Thanks to your help in talking to the general manager of Shengjing Hotel, I can continue to rent the shop. Otherwise …" Li Rui suddenly realized when he heard this, and the image of a beautiful woman appeared in his mind. He cried out involuntarily, "Aunt?"
He finally recognized who the woman was. It was his uncle Du Minsheng's sister-in-law, and his and Qingman's aunt, Chen Lihan. Two days ago, he went to Shengjing Hotel to find Ou Yangxin to get the Jinxiu lobster and coincidentally met this aunt at the door of Ou Yangxin's office. At that time, Chen Lihan was maliciously rejected by the hotel's staff to renew the shop's lease. She went to Ou Yangxin to complain. Ou Yangxin also agreed to help solve the problem. Listening to her on the phone, the problem was solved, and the shop's lease was renewed.
Chen Lihan smiled and said, "It's me. Don't tell me you just recognized my voice? Uh … Aiya, I told you not to call me aunt. Why are you still calling me aunt? If you want to call me sister, you can call me sister. If you don't want to call me sister, you can call me by my name. After all, we are of the same age. " Li Rui listened to her affectionate words and thought that she was indeed a boss. She had a sweet mouth and was very good at doing things. He had just helped her, and now she wanted to treat him to a meal without any delay. Not only did she express her gratitude to him, but she could also stabilize their relationship. Were all businessmen good at this? He smiled and said, "No matter what I call you, you are not an outsider. You don't have to be so polite with me. Let's skip the meal." Chen Lihan said, "How can I skip the meal? You have helped me so much. How can I not express my gratitude? You can also invite Qingman, and I will also invite my husband. Our two families will get to know each other and we will be friends in the future. If we have nothing to do, we can go out and have fun together … "
Li Rui frowned. He was only willing to be friends with Chen Lihan. He didn't want Qing Man to get involved, and he didn't want Chen Lihan's husband to get involved. What was the point? He said, "I appreciate your kindness, but there is really no need for a meal. I don't have much time recently." Chen Lihan smiled and said, "Then let's talk about it again when you have time." Li Rui said perfunctorily, "Okay, but you don't have to keep thinking about it … I think you are too polite." Chen Lihan said, "Okay, I will listen to you. I won't keep thinking about it. Haha, then I won't delay your work. I will hang up now. Bye."
