In fact, Li Rui didn't want to play tricks with a woman like Zheng Meili, nor did he want to indulge in scheming all day. However, the disaster was about to befall him, so he had to make countermeasures. He didn't have any grudges against Zheng Meili. Even if Zheng Meili had abused his beloved sister, Li Xiaona, he didn't hate her or want to kill her. He only planned to deal with Zheng Meili for the benefit of his boss, Song Chaoyang, Dong Jieyu, Li Xiaoyue, and other friends in Qingyang Hotel.
"Zheng Meili, Zheng Meili, your success originated from Yu Heping; your failure also originated from Yu Heping. If you end up in a bad situation in the future, don't blame others. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself. Who asked you to get close to Yu Heping?"
Li Rui thought of Zheng Meili's experience and what was about to happen, and felt a little emotional. However, he quickly thought of himself from Zheng Meili. "Zheng Meili is just Yu Heping's pet dog of the lowest level. She can't be counted as a lackey at all. My boss and I, as rivals of Yu Heping, have already been on guard against her and even attacked her. On the other hand, if my boss's rivals want to suppress my boss, they will definitely see me as a thorn in their side. They will also choose to attack me first, and heavily. So, am I not in danger?"
Thinking of this, he suddenly shivered and secretly warned himself, "From now on, no matter what I do, I have to be very, very, very careful. I can't let anyone have a hold on me."
At this moment, he thought of his female confidantes, which was the most fatal for him. However, after he married Qingman, he had restrained himself a lot and was more careful. He believed that the possibility of outsiders knowing about it was not high.
Apart from women, another scourge that could cause an official to end up in tragedy was money. Li Rui thought that this was not dangerous to him at all, because he had almost never received dirty money. Although he had received money many times, most of it was almost legal income that had nothing to do with officialdom, such as the one million yuan that Luo Weiwei gave him before. Besides, the money he received was transferred to Yuan Jingjing, Ding Yijing, and Dong Jieyu's accounts, so outsiders could not find out.
"Ah, how could I forget about her?"
While Li Rui was thinking hard about the possible evidence that could be used against him, the figure of his nanny, Xiao Hong, suddenly appeared in his mind. The nanny, Xiao Hong, was "gifted" to him by his godbrother, Li Rui. The meaning of "gifted" here was that Li Ming would pay Xiao Hong's monthly salary. Li Rui would only use her and not pay her. It was equivalent to using a nanny for free. In the past, Li Rui did not feel that there was anything wrong with the existence of Xiao Hong, but today, under the influence of luck, he felt that Xiao Hong was a ticking time bomb that could explode at any time.
He thought, for example, if the boss's opponent found Xiao Hong in private and asked her about the power and money transactions that occurred during the process of her employment – Li Ming gifted him a nanny first, and he returned the favor by helping him become the mayor of the Southern District. Then, he would make a big fuss about this matter. Of course, he would not be able to escape this embarrassment, but the boss would also be affected …
"No, this matter must be remedied immediately. I hope it's not too late!"
Li Rui took out his phone and called his godbrother, Li Ming. He did not care if he had time to answer the phone or not.
In fact, a long time ago, Li Rui and Li Ming had already proposed a remedy for this matter. Li Rui would transfer 800 RMB to Xiao Hong every month as her salary. Of course, this was for outsiders to see, but secretly, Li Ming would return the 800 RMB in cash to Li Rui every month. At that time, both of them thought that this was a good idea. Unfortunately, Li Rui was busy with work and did not take care of this small matter, so he did not implement it. As a result, Xiao Hong's salary was still paid by Li Ming. He did not give Xiao Hong a salary even once. He only gave her some gifts and festival fees during festivals.
The phone call was quickly connected. From this, it could be seen that Li Ming really valued this godbrother of Li Rui.
Li Rui didn't bother to exchange pleasantries with him and immediately said, "Big Brother, you can take Xiao Hong away. From today onwards, our family doesn't need her anymore." Li Ming was stunned and didn't say anything for a while. Then he asked, "Why? Did she make a mistake? Or did she not do a good job? " Li Rui said, "No, she did a good job and did not make any mistakes. But I can't use her anymore." Li Ming was confused and asked curiously, "Why can't you use her anymore?" Li Rui did not explain too much to him. He only said, "The situation at the top is becoming more complicated. I may become the target of public criticism. For me and for you, brother, we have to give up on Xiao Hong. Even though I really like using this girl. Also, from today onwards, you have to be extra careful. You cannot make any mistakes. "
Li Ming, who was on the other end of the phone, was originally in a very good mood when he picked up the call. However, when he heard those words that came out of nowhere, he was so scared that a layer of white hair appeared on his back. He said, "No … What do you mean? Last night when we were having a party, wasn't it fine? Why did today … Why did the situation suddenly become complicated? " Li Rui looked around and saw that no one was passing by. He said in a cold and serious voice, "It has become complicated these past two days. But I didn't think too much about it at first. Today, I suddenly realized that a small person like me has been thrown into the teeth of the storm. If I am not careful, my body will be smashed into pieces and my bones will be smashed into pieces. Xiao Hong is a flaw between us brothers. She must be removed immediately. You have to get rid of Xiao Hong and tell her to keep her mouth shut. "
Li Ming said disapprovingly, "What flaw is Xiao Hong? Isn't it just that her salary has always been paid by me? You don't have to chase her away. At most, you will start paying her salary from today onwards. "Li Rui said," Her future salary is easy to talk about. But what about her previous salary? If someone wants to find Xiao Hong in private and find out what is going on with her and then announce it, do you think we will still have a good life? " Li Ming thought for a while and said, "At most, you can pay her her previous salary again. Just go through the motions …" Li Rui interrupted, "The truth can't be hidden by acting … I still have something to do. I can't talk about it now. Just do as I say and we will talk later."
Li Ming heard that he was serious and didn't dare to say anything else. He could only agree. After hanging up the phone, he went to arrange for Xiao Hong to leave the Li family.
On Li Rui's side, he was deep in thought as he held onto his phone. After firing Xiao Hong, he definitely had to find another nanny. Otherwise, with Li Jianmin's health, he wouldn't be able to support such a family. Although Qing Man could take care of him, she was still the daughter of the governor and his beloved wife. He couldn't help but feel bad for her, so how could he let her tire herself out? Besides, he didn't want her to become a haggard old woman so early. Hence, it was better to take care of her like a young mistress. He would see when he was free over the weekend and hire another nanny from the nanny market.
After waiting for a while, Song Chaoyang came down from upstairs. Li Rui noticed that he was the same as when he came upstairs. He didn't have anything on him. He didn't know what he had taken from his room. He was a little curious but didn't dare to ask.
After the two met up, they walked to the entrance of the VIP building one after another.
Coincidentally, when the two arrived at the bottom of the stairs, they bumped into a woman in a grey suit. She was dressed like a manager. The woman was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. Her appearance was not bad, and her figure was not bad. She walked over in her high heels, swaying and swaying. She was quite flirtatious, but her appearance and behavior had a bit of a vulgar and philistine taste, which made people dislike her.
When the woman saw Song Chaoyang and Li Rui, she stopped and greeted them. "Good morning, Secretary. Good morning, Chief Li."
Song Chaoyang didn't know her. When he saw her greeting him, he smiled and replied. "Good morning. Hello."
However, Li Rui knew her. When he saw her, his eyelids twitched. He thought to himself, Enemies are bound to meet on a narrow road. He and his boss were on guard against Zheng Meili, the new manager of the Housekeeping Department, and she bumped into them. God was really blind. Even though he hated Zheng Meili to death, he didn't show it on his face. He smiled and said, "Good morning, Manager Zheng."
As he spoke, his eyes had already noticed that Zheng Meili's manager suit today was gray, and the material and style were very high-end. It was much more high-end than the wine-red suit she used to wear when she was the lobby manager of the VIP building. He thought to himself that she had indeed been promoted. Even her uniform was much more high-end than before. He coughed slightly and introduced her to his boss, Song Chaoyang. "Secretary, this is our VIP building's lobby manager, Zheng Meili."
He had just learned from Li Xiaoyue that Zheng Meili had been promoted to manager of the Housekeeping Department. However, he still called her by her previous position. Of course, he had his reasons for doing so. First, he wanted to see how Zheng Meili would respond to his slip of the tongue. Second, he wanted to show that he didn't know enough about the latest developments in Qingyang Hotel to lower her guard.
Song Chaoyang smiled and looked at Zheng Meili carefully. He took the initiative to extend his right hand to her. "I was wondering why you looked familiar. So you're the VIP building's manager. I'm sure I've seen you before. Hello, Little Zheng."
