Li Rui was also very happy to be praised by the two leaders. However, his happiness was built on the basis that the leaders were satisfied with his service. It was the same as his intention for doing this. It was pure and without any impurities. He wasn't trying to curry favor with the leaders, flatter the leaders, or get a reward from the leaders. Although he would sometimes flatter his leaders, he would never do that for the sake of speculation, climbing up the ladder, or to satisfy his own selfish interests.
Some people say that people in the government cannot survive without being evil. Li Rui does not reject being evil, and sometimes, he has to be evil to achieve his goals. But most of the time, he is willing to maintain a pure heart, and this is his principle.
In the afternoon, the City Government received a piece of good news from the Provincial Investment Promotion Agency. Japan Trade Revitalization Agency's Shanghai Representative Office will be organizing a group of Japanese companies to visit Qingyang City next week. They will also discuss economic cooperation with Qingyang City.
Song Chaoyang is overjoyed and told Du Minsheng and Li Rui in his office. "We had just sent a delegation from a central company, and now, a foreign company is coming. Our Qingyang City is still very popular. But this time, we cannot be like the previous time when we received the delegation from a central company. We had worked for a few days, but we cannot retain a single company. This time, we must retain at least one company. Minsheng, contact the Government and come up with a reception plan as soon as possible. This time, the reception standard can be slightly reduced, but the reception work has to be better and more detailed than the last time. Even if the investment environment of Qingyang City can't keep the Japanese guests, we have to move them to stay through the reception work. "
Du Minsheng nodded and frowned. "Deputy Governor Wen Hanqing, who is in charge of the Provincial Investment Promotion Agency, will be accompanying the delegation. Governor Wen is known for being hard to please, especially when it comes to accommodation. I heard that he will not stay in a five-star hotel. Previously, when he went to Huangzhou City for research, he lost his temper because Huangzhou City did not arrange a five-star hotel for him. After this incident, he did not feel embarrassed. Instead, Huangzhou City is embarrassed. This time, he is coming to our Qingyang City … "
Song Chaoyang smiled and waved his hand. "Then arrange a five-star hotel for him! It's not like our Qingyang City doesn't have any. But there's only one shop. He won't lose his temper because he doesn't have a choice, right? "
Du Minsheng chuckled. "I don't think so."
Li Rui, who was at the side, was bewildered. It was as if he had heard a fairy tale. He wondered why there was such a provincial leader. Wasn't he worried that his extravagant behavior would affect his reputation? He actually threw a tantrum because of this. Didn't he know that doing so would only embarrass himself?
Du Minsheng noticed his incredulous expression and explained with a wry smile, "Our Governor Wen came from a central enterprise. His family is in Beijing, and his connections are all in Beijing. I heard that his background is not small. He was used to being a CEO, so when he became a deputy leader of the local government, he naturally brought all his old habits with him. Although it was a little out of line, considering his background, it was understandable. Moreover, he had a strong background, so no one dared to say anything about him. Seeing that no one cared about him, he became even more arrogant and willful. This vicious cycle, haha. Now, his name has spread throughout the province. Every city that he went to said that he was difficult to serve. "
Song Chaoyang, who rarely gossiped, nodded with a smile. "This person is like that. I've dealt with him before. He has some small problems, but he's forthright and generous. He's good at making friends. There are indeed many jokes about him. I heard that when he first came to the province, he insisted on bringing his female secretary from his original unit to continue being his secretary. But how could the provincial government's general office let a young, fashionable and beautiful girl be the secretary of the Deputy Governor? How could they appoint her as the head of the Secretariat? This made him very unhappy. He told everyone that the provincial government's office was too lenient. They even wanted to decide who to use as a secretary. If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have become the Deputy Governor. But in the end, he still let this female secretary be his chauffeur. "
Li Rui laughed involuntarily. "That works?"
Song Chaoyang said, "So what if it doesn't work? Forbidding that girl from being his secretary has already made him very unhappy. If we forbid her from being his chauffeur, won't he lose his temper? If word gets out, won't the provincial government be embarrassed? However, the provincial government's office still imposed some restrictions on the female chauffeur. They forbade her from having long hair, wearing makeup, and wearing revealing clothes. They also forbade her from wearing sunglasses when she was out on official business. The female chauffeur listened to them. There are so many full-time chauffeurs in the provincial government now, but only this Deputy Governor Wen's chauffeur is a girl. It's quite interesting. "
Li Rui treated this matter as a joke. After all, this matter had nothing to do with him. With his rank, not to mention dealing with Deputy Governor Wen, even his former female secretary and current female chauffeur would have nothing to do with him.
The next day, it was Monday. It was also a new week.
Early in the morning, Du Minsheng and Li Rui confirmed the week's work schedule with Song Chaoyang.
Song Chaoyang roughly skimmed through the schedule that Du Minsheng had drafted. He nodded and said to Li Rui, "From Tuesday to Thursday, the foreign company's inspection team will come to Tsing Province for inspection. I'll need to spend most of my time with them. There's no other important work for the next few days, so there's nothing for you to do. You'll go to the Eastern State for training on Tuesday."
Li Rui nodded.
After they came out of Song Chaoyang's office, Du Minsheng asked Li Rui in private, "What training are you going to the Eastern State for?"
Li Rui then told him about how he had been invited by the Eastern State's mayor, Wu Nan, to train the Eastern State's anti-poverty cadres. It was considered a greeting to his boss.
Du Minsheng was surprised and happy at the same time. He was surprised that Wu Nan valued Li Rui so much that he wanted him to train the anti-poverty cadres. He was happy that Li Rui had gained the mayor's approval, which indirectly proved his ability. Of course, he was also a little worried. He was afraid that Li Rui would fail the training in the Eastern State and become a laughing stock. Therefore, he asked in a serious tone, "Are you ready for the training? What do you think the chances of success are? "
Li Rui could not help but laugh. It was a training, not an exam. How could there be a chance of success? As long as he explained everything he had prepared so that the anti-poverty cadres in the Eastern State could understand and learn from it, wouldn't it be a success? Of course, that was what he thought, but he could not say it out loud. He said humbly, "I'm almost ready. I don't think there will be any problems."
Du Minsheng reminded him, "Training people is like teaching people. Not only do you have to understand the content of the lesson thoroughly, but you also have to be able to answer and solve the questions that the students ask. If you haven't thought about this before, you still have time to think about it now. "
Li Ruixin thought that the secretary general was indeed the secretary general. He was meticulous and thoughtful. He had not thought about the point that Du Minsheng had just brought up. He had only thought about how to explain the content of the training, but he had not thought about the questions and questions that he might encounter. It seemed that he had to take some time to prepare for this. He smiled and nodded. "I really didn't think about it. Thank you for reminding me. I will start preparing now."
Du Minsheng nodded and looked at him approvingly. He did not say anything else and turned to leave the room.
After he left, Li Rui took out his phone and sent a message to Wu Nan, telling her that the time had been set. It would be the next day.
Wu Nan did not seem to be in a hurry because she called back very quickly. When she spoke, she sounded eager and excited. "Is that so, Xiao Rui? You can come tomorrow?" Li Rui lowered his voice and said, "Yes. Is it convenient for you over there?" After he said that, he realized that what he had said was inappropriate. He had asked her if it was convenient, but it sounded like he was going on a date with her. He quickly added, "Uh … What I mean is, is it convenient for the Eastern State? Do the anti-poverty cadres over there have time to accept my training?" Wu Nan did not notice the inappropriateness in his first sentence. She said quickly, "Of course! Even if they don't have time, they have to find some time. You are sure that you can come tomorrow, right? Then I will immediately ask the general office to send a notice to all the city, county, and district leaders to come to the city tomorrow to participate in the training. "
Li Rui was shocked. Good heavens. So it was not only the city's anti-poverty cadres who were going to participate in the training, but also the county's anti-poverty cadres. If all of them were to be added up, there would be at least a hundred of them. This was a large-scale training session. Would he be able to do a good job in front of so many leaders? He was secretly nervous and did not say anything.
