Li Rui teasingly looked at her beautiful and sharp eyes and said, "Did you hear that? Don't do that again. If you do that again, then don't even think about being my best friend." Only then did Ou Yangxin return to her senses. She lightly spat and angrily said, "Pei, don't be so shameless. You make it sound like I'm the one who took the initiative to become your bosom friend. Obviously, you're the one who begged me to do it." Li Rui chuckled and said, "I begged you to do it and you did it with me?" Ou Yangxin only felt that these words were a bit awkward, but she couldn't figure out what was wrong. She humphed and said, "Yes, I had to give you some face." Li Rui laughed and said, "Then after you did it with me, how did it feel?" Ou Yangxin finally understood that there was ambiguity in his words, as if he was hinting at that kind of thing. She immediately blushed and couldn't help but reach in and hit him and said, "Damn, you dare to tease me. I'm leaving, I'm not talking to you anymore." After she finished speaking, she really angrily left.
Li Rui knew that she wasn't angry and was just in a hurry to go back to work. He sat in the car and laughed.
Back home, Li Rui wanted to talk to Qingman and his dad about the welfare house. After all, this was a happy occasion. However, he saw the two of them sitting on the sofa and persuading the nanny, Xiao Hong. Xiao Hong was crying and wiping her tears, looking like she had been greatly wronged.
When he saw this scene, he was slightly stunned, but he quickly understood what was going on. It should be that his godbrother, Li Ming, told Xiao Hong what he told him to do, and Xiao Hong was unwilling to leave her home, so she was very sad. In fact, how could he bear to let her leave? This little girl was smart, sensible, taciturn, and usually did the housework well. No one could find fault with her. Everyone in the family liked her very much. If it wasn't for political reasons, he really didn't want to drive her out of the house.
Lu Qingman looked up and saw that he had returned. She got up and walked in front of him. She gave him a look and the husband and wife went into the bedroom together.
Lu Qingman closed the door behind him and quietly asked, "What's going on? Why did you drive Xiao Hong away? Look, you scared her to tears. " Li Rui sighed, "Do you think I want to do that? It's all because there's a big loophole here …" He then told them about Little Red's origin and his own misgivings. Lu Qingman frowned and complained, "Why didn't you tell me about this earlier? I always thought that Xiao Hong was hired by her family. " Li Rui said, "You didn't ask me. I thought it was a small matter, so I didn't tell you." Lu Qingman said, "Then what do we do now?" Li Rui sighed, "We can only chase Xiao Hong away. I'll hire another nanny." Lu Qingman said, "I like Xiao Hong very much. She's smart, sensible, good at doing housework, and good at cooking. If you hire another nanny, I'm afraid she's not even half as good as Xiao Hong."
Seeing that the head of the household did not agree to expel Xiao Hong, Li Rui's heart was also moved. After thinking for a while, he said, "How about this, we continue to let her stay at home, but from now on, we will pay her a salary …" Lu Qingman interrupted, "Aren't you talking nonsense?" Li Rui smiled and said, "Give her a raise. Her current salary is too low. I'm afraid it'll be difficult for her to make a living in the city." Lu Qingman sneered, "You just thought of it? You're too honest. You believed whatever Li Ming told you. Why didn't you think about it? Where are the nannies nowadays that earn less than a thousand yuan a month? You can't find one anywhere. Li Ming was just comforting you. He said that Xiao Hong's salary was eight hundred yuan, and you really believed him. You're so silly that you're cute. I'm guessing that the real amount he gave Xiao Hong was one thousand eight hundred yuan, or two thousand eight hundred yuan. "
Li Rui smiled awkwardly and said, "Then you can decide how much you want to give her. We're not short of money now anyway." Lu Qingman frowned, "It's all thanks to the mountain goods processing factory that you secretly invested in. Otherwise, with our dead wages, we wouldn't be able to afford a nanny."
Li Rui did make a lot of money from the processing factory, but he didn't get a single cent. Instead, he invested in the mutual forest plantation. The money in the bank card that he gave to Qingman before was actually from other sources. However, he didn't tell Qingman, so Qingman always mistakenly thought that the money came from the processing factory.
In the end, Li Rui told Qing Man, "Let Xiao Hong stay, but you have to keep her mouth shut. She can't mention anything about Li Minghe's salary to anyone else. If someone really investigates, she must bite the bullet. Just say that she's my distant cousin who came to help. I gave her the salary every month, and it's all in cash."
Lu Qingman couldn't help but laugh. She glanced at him and said, "Don't worry. Xiao Hong is a smart and sensible girl. She knows what to say and what not to say. Moreover, our family is really good to her. She'll definitely be on our side."
After she said this, she smiled and went out to comfort Xiao Hong. After this conversation between the husband and wife, the small disturbance caused by Li Rui and Little Red disappeared. Little Red stayed in the Li family and continued to be her nanny.
After Xiao Hong got off work, Li Rui told Qingman and Li Jianmin about the welfare house. Both of them were very happy to hear it.
Lu Qingman was happy. It wasn't because she suddenly received the best house in all aspects. It was because she wanted to buy a new house. It was as if someone sent a pillow to her when she was dozing off. Of course, she was happy.
The reason for Li Jianmin's happiness was different. After all, the old man was from the grassroots, and his vision was limited. What he paid attention to was the value and appreciation potential of this welfare house. When he thought that his son and daughter-in-law had a house in the city, and their personal assets had been greatly improved, and their lives in the future would be more prosperous, he felt happy for the young couple from the bottom of his heart. In addition to being happy, he also felt a little emotional. He thought that he had worked hard for more than half of his life to buy a house in the city, and he had bought it when the housing price was at its lowest, but his son had bought two houses in just one year. Although they were both welfare houses of the company, after getting them, they were real houses and fixed assets that belonged to him. There was really no comparison. However, when he saw that his son was better than him, he was very happy.
When they went to bed at night, Qingman happily snuggled in her husband's arms and said, "Including the house that is being built in the Water Conservancy Bureau, we now have two houses. Why don't we have a second child? One house for each child? " Li Rui didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He gently pinched her little nose and said, "This child hasn't been born yet, and you're already thinking about having a second child? What's even more ridiculous is that if we have an extra house, we have to have an extra child to inherit it. What kind of weird theory is this? According to this theory, we will definitely have more and more houses in the future. Do you mean that we have to have a child every time we get a house? "Lu Qingman giggled and said," I'm just trying to find something to say. " Li Rui said, "If you don't have anything to say, then say something meaningful. Well, as the daughter of the governor, you're actually worried that your child won't be able to inherit in the future. You're thinking about the only two houses we have. Are you doubting the ability of the child's grandfather or the child's father? Haha. "
Lu Qingman was embarrassed and angry by his words. She raised her hand and pinched his waist.
Li Rui laughed and played with her. At the same time, he thought to himself that if the country allowed one house and one wife, it would be great. A person could marry several wives depending on how many houses they had. Then, he could marry Xuefei, Jieyu, and Jing Jing. Wouldn't that be more interesting than having one house and one child? Qingman was really cute. How could she have such a funny idea? Could it be that she wanted two children instead of only one?
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was Monday.
In the morning, Li Rui went to Shengjing Hotel to pick up Song Chaoyang for work. When Song Chaoyang came down, he handed the room card to him. Li Rui realized that his boss could finally check out of the executive suite that he had rented for the past few days.
Including last Friday, Song Chaoyang had been staying at Shengjing Hotel for the past two days. As the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, it wasn't a big deal for him to stay at a five-star hotel for two days. However, for him, who had always stayed at Qingyang Hotel and rarely stayed at five-star hotels, this seemed to be a very big change. Li Rui hoped that his boss didn't suddenly become corrupt and extravagant. He just needed to entertain Zang Ning as a "guest" and had no choice but to stay there. After all, because of Zheng Meili's sudden rise, Qingyang Hotel was no longer suitable to entertain female friends like Zang Ning.
For the past two days, Li Rui hadn't seen Zang Ning, but he could feel Zang Ning's presence. This could be observed from Song Chaoyang. During the weekend, Song Chaoyang went to work late in the morning and left early in the evening. Although he was in a good mood, he was mentally tired. Zang Ning's presence could explain these changes.
Li Rui secretly cursed. He didn't expect that Zang Ning, who looked noble and elegant on the surface, was actually a pestering little vixen. It was true that one could know a person for a long time without understanding their true nature.
After work in the morning, as usual, the secretary general of the Municipal Party Committee, Du Minsheng, brought Li Rui to Song Chaoyang's office for a meeting to confirm Song Chaoyang's work schedule and important matters for the week.
"On Monday morning, which is this morning, the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and the political commissar of the Provincial Military Region, Sun Youxin, will come to our city for research.
"On Tuesday, there will be an expanded meeting of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee to convey the spirit of learning from the National People's Congress. Secretary, you will need to preside over the meeting and give an important speech.
"On Wednesday morning, there will be a meeting of the Municipal People's War Department. Secretary, you will need to give instructions, so you don't have to attend the meeting. In the afternoon, there will be a regular meeting of the Secretary.
