At 11: 30 in the morning, Political Commissar of the Provincial Military Region, Sun Youxin, finished his investigation of the Ministry of Manpower in Qingyang City. Accompanied by Song Chaoyang and the others, he returned to the Qingyang Hotel and prepared to have lunch. However, this Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee's investigation of Qingyang City did not end there. After lunch and lunch break, he still had to investigate the Chunhua Group, a provincial military unit in the southern district of the city.
After lunch, Song Chaoyang did not take a break. Instead, he returned to the Municipal Party Committee and took advantage of the free time to deal with the government affairs that he did not have time to deal with in the morning. Li Rui naturally followed him back to the office.
After making a cup of fragrant tea for Song Chaoyang, Li Rui also made a cup of light tea for himself. Then, he sat at his desk and began to deal with the work at hand. He had not been busy for long when he witnessed the ancient saying, "What you fear will happen."
Zhang Zixiao from the provincial capital suddenly called him. After he picked up, she asked directly, "Did you tell Liu Annie that my brother wanted to catch Liu Annie?"
For a moment, Li Rui felt as if he was struck by lightning. His body and mind were in a daze. His back was covered in a layer of dense cold sweat. His mouth was wide open, but he did not know what to say. He really had nothing to say. If he lied, this matter did not give him a chance to lie at all. Only the Zhang siblings and the three of them knew about this matter. The siblings naturally would not reveal the secret to Liu Anni, so the only one who could leak the secret could only be him. If he lied again, he would only make Zhang Zixiao laugh at him. Besides, he did not want to lie to Zhang Zixiao. He did not have the heart to do so. But if he told the truth, it would be very awkward. Wouldn't it be the same as telling Zhang Zixiao in front of her face that he had betrayed her? She would definitely feel very uncomfortable when she heard that.
Zhang Zixiao waited for a while. Seeing that he did not speak, she said angrily, "Are you playing dead? Say something! "
Li Rui still didn't know what to say and continued to remain silent.
Zhang Zixiao suddenly sighed faintly and said, "All right, I know." This time Li Rui couldn't keep quiet anymore. He quickly asked, "What do you know?" Zhang Zixiao sneered and said, "What do you think I know? What am I asking you? " Li Rui was ashamed and said, "You … Are you … Very … Very … Very … Very angry? I'm sorry, I … I … "Zhang Zixiao asked," You knew that I would be angry, yet you still leaked the secret to Liu Annie and let her escape, so that my brother couldn't catch the murderer and take revenge? " She was blaming him, but Li Rui couldn't hear the anger in her voice. He was puzzled and explained, "The hatred between your brother and Liu Annie could be resolved through legal channels, but your brother actually wanted to set up a private court to deal with Liu Annie. As her friend, I couldn't bear to see her being killed by your brother, so I … I …"
Zhang Zixiao asked again, "Okay, you said that Liu Annie is your friend, then am I your friend?" Li Rui said, "Yes!" Zhang Zixiao asked again, "Between me and Liu Annie, who is closer to you?" Li Rui whispered, "Of course it's you." Zhang Zixiao snorted and said, "You also know that it's me! Since my position in your heart is higher than Liu Annie, why did you choose to help her instead of me? " Li Rui pondered for a while and explained, "If this matter was between you and Liu Annie, I would definitely help you. At worst, I wouldn't help either side. But this matter actually has nothing to do with you. It's a personal grudge between Zhang Zihao and Liu Annie, so I …" Zhang Zixiao said angrily, "How can it have nothing to do with me? I'm Zhang Zihao's sister. My brother is in trouble. How can it have nothing to do with me? You helping Liu Annie is actually going against me. " Li Rui said, "I didn't do anything to you, and I won't do anything to you … Zixiao, the grudge between your brother and Liu Annie, let them solve it themselves, okay? Let's just be friends. Don't get involved. "
Zhang Zixiao said coldly, "You're forgetting your friends because of your lover, and you're still saying that you don't want to get involved?" Li Rui heard that her tone was a little soft, so he quickly persuaded her, "What do you mean by forgetting your friends because of your lover? Don't talk nonsense. Liu Annie and I are just friends. We don't have that kind of relationship. You used the wrong words. In fact, you're the lover, and she's the friend. I'm forgetting my friends because of my lover." After saying this, he felt strange. Was she here to denounce him or to fight with Liu Annie because of her jealousy? Why was the topic getting more and more off-topic? Zhang Zixiao said, "Forgetting my friends because of my lover? Then you're even worse! Hypocrite! Bastard! Hypocrite! " Li Rui was scolded badly by her, but he felt relieved and whispered, "Zixiao, I didn't do it on purpose. Don't be angry. I'm sorry, okay?" Zhang Zixiao changed the topic and said in a light tone, "Forget it, I won't tease you anymore. In fact, I'm not angry."
Li Rui was surprised and happy. He said, "Really? You're not angry? Why? I caused your brother to not be able to catch Liu Annie. You're not angry? " Zhang Zixiao said in a light tone, "If Liu Annie is the murderer, then she is also a victim. She was gang-raped by my brother, so she took revenge on my brother. So, as a woman, I actually sympathize with her. Of course, this is not the most important reason. The most important reason is that I don't agree with my brother's practice of secretly arresting Liu Annie. It's illegal, and it may affect my father's reputation and even his career. I can't watch him get into trouble, but I can't stop him. Even my father can't control him. I feel that after he was injured, he is no longer a normal person. He is like a mad dog. He doesn't listen to anyone and no one can control him. So, you leaked the secret to Liu Annie and let her escape. You prevented my brother from getting into trouble from the root. Not only am I not angry, but I also want to thank you. "
Li Ruixin was completely relieved. He was very happy and said softly, "Zixiao, you're really reasonable." However, he was a little worried. Would she blame him for leaking the secret to Liu Annie? But would she ask him about Liu Annie's whereabouts? He secretly thought that if she really asked later, he would say that he didn't know. Anyway, she didn't know about his secret plan with Liu Annie.
To his surprise, Zhang Zixiao didn't ask him about Liu Annie's whereabouts. Instead, she set the tone for this matter. "I like what you said just now. Let's be friends and not get involved in their grievances. From now on, I won't care about their affairs. You don't have to care about it either. You leaked the secret to Liu Annie and let her escape. You've already done your best for her. You don't have to care about her anymore. No matter how pitiful she is, she has broken the law. She must be punished by the law. What do you think? "
Li Rui breathed a sigh of relief and promised, "Well, I'll listen to you. I won't care about Liu Annie in the future. Of course, I can't care about it even if I want to. Who knows where she ran to? Oh, by the way, did she run away? I don't know. If you didn't mention it, I wouldn't have known that she ran away. Speaking of which, she's really not a good friend. I helped her, but she didn't tell me where she was going before she left. She doesn't treat me as a friend … "Zhang Zixiao sneered and said," Keep acting. I'll see how long you can keep acting. I don't believe that Liu Annie didn't tell you before she ran away. But I don't care about her whereabouts. You don't have to act with me. I just said that I won't care about them anymore. You do the same. " Li Rui smiled and said, "Well, let's not talk about them … Oh, I almost forgot to ask you. Does your brother know that I leaked the secret to Liu Annie?"
Zhang Zixiao snorted and said, "I'm not like someone who forgets his friends when he sees a girl … No, it's forgetting his friends when he sees a girl. He can turn around and sell me out, but I can't turn around and sell him out." Li Rui was both moved and apologetic. His heart was filled with tenderness and he whispered, "Zixiao, you're so nice. I …" Zhang Zixiao said, "What about you? Well, I'm a little busy today. That's all for now. I'm hanging up. " When Li Rui heard that she was going to hang up, he suddenly felt reluctant and tried to find a topic to talk about. "By the way, when are you free? I'll return the Cartier watch to you. I really don't have a chance to wear it. It's not safe to leave it at home. If someone finds out …" Zhang Zixiao sneered and said, "You're afraid that your wife, Lu Qingman, will find out, right? I don't care. Since I've already given it away, there's no reason for me to take it back. You're on your own now. "She didn't wait for him to say anything and directly hung up.
Li Rui held the phone in a daze. His ears seemed to be echoing with her coquettish words. He thought about how good she was to him and then thought about his own attitude towards her. He felt even more ashamed and guilty.
At two o 'clock in the afternoon, accompanied by Song Chaoyang, Du Minsheng and the others, Sun Youxin and his group went to Chunhua Group to do research. Sun Youxin thoroughly understood the company's production and management, technological innovation, product quality, etc. He repeatedly told the person in charge of the company to pay attention to the introduction of scientific and technological talents, increase the technological innovation and new product development efforts, and continuously expand the production scale to promote the company to become bigger and stronger.
Li Rui never knew that there was a military factory in the city. Even if he was lucky enough to visit Chunhua Group today, he didn't know that it was a military factory. Why? The answer was very simple. Chunhua Group's production and management had long been converted from military to civilian. This company's products were all agricultural machinery, such as large harvesters, seeding machines, etc. Just by looking at the agricultural machinery in the warehouse, who would guess that this was a military factory?
