Secretary-general Roux smiled bitterly and said, "Of course, he wants to come and wait, but he's tied down by work. Besides, the meeting hasn't started yet, right? Sigh, it's not convenient for me to ask the provincial leaders. Otherwise, I would definitely ask them when the meeting will start or if it will even start. "
When Wu Nan heard the last half of his sentence, her eyelids twitched. She keenly sensed that there seemed to be something fishy in this matter. Otherwise, why would the other party suddenly hint that the meeting might not be held when he had just emphasized that the meeting might be outdated? She pulled a long face and questioned him, "Are you saying that the meeting might not start?"
Secretary-general Roux's expression changed. He quickly waved his hand and said, "I didn't say that. I only said that it might happen. The meeting has been delayed until now, and it hasn't started yet. Who knows what will happen next? If there's a problem with the meeting equipment, or if the provincial leaders have other urgent matters to attend to, the meeting might not start. Anyway, we still have to wait, and we don't know how long we'll have to wait. Why don't you go back first, Mayor? When the meeting center is vacated, I'll get someone to inform you, and you can call your people back to continue training. I don't know where they are now. It's really hard to find a place to stay when a large group of people ran out … "
Although these words were said politely, and there was no problem at first, when Wu Nan heard it, she felt as if the other party was slapping her face in front of her. Well, not only did they chase her people out of the conference center when she was not around, but now, they actually dared to mention this matter in front of her. Furthermore, they even used a charitable tone to talk about this matter. This was simply too much. She was so angry that the corners of her mouth trembled slightly. She looked at him coldly, but there was nothing she could do.
At this time, Li Rui, who had been listening by the side, could no longer hold it in. He could already see that Secretary-general Roux was a loyal lackey of the executive deputy mayor of the Eastern Province, Zhou Yulin. He was taking the opportunity to make things difficult for Wu Nan. The emergency meeting held by the provincial government was their opportunity, and the poverty training organized by Wu Nan was the fuse that they deliberately used and ignited. In fact, they had been targeting Wu Nan from the beginning to the end. They used every opportunity possible to slap her in the face, suppress her reputation, and trample on her. What was even more lamentable was that Wu Nan seemed to have no way to deal with them. She could only watch as Wu Nan stepped on her face, and there was nothing she could do.
When Li Rui thought about how she was humiliated by Zhou Yulin and Zhou Yulin in front of him, he was furious. Moreover, he had just been attacked by Zhou Yulin. Both old and new grudges erupted at the same time. How could he hold it in? He walked to Wu Nan's side and looked at Secretary-general Roux opposite him. He said calmly, "It's not convenient for you to ask the provincial government's office about the latest situation of this emergency video conference, right? Okay, if it's not convenient for you, then it's convenient for me. I'll do it. "After that, he gave Wu Nan a comforting and encouraging look. He took out his phone and made a call.
Secretary-general Roux, Wu Nan, and Fang Mei were all stunned. No one expected him to suddenly do this.
Secretary-general Roux was shocked at first. Then, he moved his lips and wanted to curse. "Who do you think you are? You're just an anti-poverty cadre that Wu Nan invited from Qingyang. How dare you get involved in the fight between the second-in-command of the Eastern Province government? You're not even a divisional cadre. How dare you contact the provincial government's office? Where did you get the audacity to do that? You're just bragging on a plane. You're bragging to the heavens! You don't know the immensity of heaven and earth! " However, on second thought, he was someone invited by Wu Nan. He could not scold him in front of Wu Nan. Moreover, why did he have to scold him in front of him? Wouldn't it be better to just sit there and watch him make a fool of himself? Wouldn't it be better to mock him when he couldn't get in touch with the provincial government's office or was criticized by the cadre in the office? That would be a slap in the face. Haha, that's right. I'll just wait for him to make a fool of himself.
Thinking of this, he suppressed the anger in his heart and smiled coldly. He just watched Li Rui make the call without saying a word. He did have the bearing of a Deputy Secretary-General of the Municipal Government.
Wu Nan was like Secretary-general Roux. She was slightly shocked when she heard Li Rui's words. However, unlike Secretary-general Roux, she did not turn from shock to anger. Instead, she was curious. She wondered why Li Rui would say such bold words. She also wondered who he would call. She thought to herself, 'Does he have friends in the provincial government's office? But even if he did have friends, with his rank, how high could his friends be? How can they find out about an emergency meeting that involves the provincial government's leaders? ' She wanted to stop him, but seeing his calm face, it seemed that he was not bluffing, but had a well-thought-out plan, she did not stop him. She was even more curious in her heart. Of course, she was also a little touched, grateful that he had helped her fight against Secretary-General Lu and help her get back her face.
Her beautiful eyes stared straight at Li Rui without blinking. Her face was full of concern and worry. Her rosy lips were slightly pursed, and her lips formed a thin line.
Li Rui had already made the call. Before he made the call, he knew that the big brother he contacted would definitely pick up his call first no matter how busy he was with work. This had nothing to do with his status. It was just because he was the son-in-law of his boss. That alone was enough.
"Hello, Big Brother Hongwei, please help me. Can you help me ask around in the provincial government's office if there's an emergency teleconference going on? One of the provincial government's leaders will be hosting this meeting. Can you help me find out when this meeting will be held? I've been waiting for a long time. It's already past time, but they still haven't come … "
Li Rui took two steps away as he spoke. He deliberately did not want Secretary-general Roux to hear him.
The 'Big Brother Hongwei' he was talking about was his father-in-law, Lu Zhouxing's secretary, Yu Hongwei. As the first secretary of the provincial government and the director of the First Department of the Provincial Government's Office, Yu Hongwei was naturally very familiar with the latest situation in the provincial government's office. Even if he did not know, he could ask around in the shortest time possible. Therefore, Li Rui made a wise choice by asking him to ask about this matter.
Yu Hongwei was a good person. He immediately agreed when he heard Li Rui. He did not think too much about it. As the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee's Secretary, Li Rui would not wait for an emergency meeting held by the provincial government. He said, "No problem, Xiao Rui. Wait for me. I'll ask around for you."
Two minutes later, Li Rui walked back to Wu Nan. He ignored her concerned gaze and said to Secretary-general Roux calmly, "The provincial government's office did not arrange any emergency teleconference this afternoon …"
Secretary-general Roux was shocked at first. Then, he sneered and said, "Nonsense! Who do you think you are … You … Haha, fine. Since you said that the provincial government's office did not arrange an emergency meeting, do you dare to tell me? Where did you get this information from? "
Li Rui smiled gently at him and said, "The provincial government's office. Do you even need to ask? Since it's an emergency meeting held by a leader of the provincial government, of course I have to ask the provincial government's office. Secretary-general Roux is the Municipal Government's Deputy Secretary-General. Don't tell me you don't know about this? "
Secretary-general Roux was furious when he heard Li Rui mocking him to his face. His face quickly turned red. He widened his eyes and raised his eyebrows as if he had been humiliated. He shouted angrily, "As the Municipal Government's First Deputy Secretary-General, how can I not know about this? What a joke! Stop pestering me endlessly, and don't try to avoid the question! Let me ask you, the provincial government's office is very big. Which department are you asking about? Which department are you talking about? Can you tell me? If you can't, then you're talking nonsense! You're making up facts and spreading rumors! You're deliberately obstructing the Municipal Government's normal work order! You have to be punished! "
Wu Nan's face darkened when she heard that. She scolded, "Lu Liangang, don't talk nonsense with me. You …"
Li Rui raised his hand at her, indicating that she shouldn't continue. Wu Nan saw his hand gesture and stopped. She didn't say anything else. She just pursed her lips and finally closed her mouth.
Lu Liangang was shocked when he saw this. Who was this guy? How dare he make such a gesture to Wu Nan, the mayor? Although he was disrespectful to Wu Nan, he didn't dare to make such a gesture in front of her. What was even more inconceivable was that Wu Nan actually complied with this minor character. Hiss, all of this was simply unimaginable. Was he dreaming or what was going on?
"Liangang, has the meeting started yet? Eh, the mayor is here too? What a coincidence, haha! "
Wu Nan just closed her mouth. Before Li Rui could say anything to Lu Liangang, a middle-aged man's voice suddenly came from behind.
Lu Liangang saw the person and was overjoyed. It was as if he had found a backer. He said excitedly, "Mayor Zhou, you're here. The meeting hasn't started yet. Sigh, I'm also very anxious. It's not open yet, so we have to worry about it. Don't mention it … Yes, the mayor is here too. She came because of this emergency meeting that didn't start on time. She wants us to vacate this conference center as soon as possible for her people to continue their training. Unfortunately, I can't help."
Li Rui's ears twitched when he heard the voice. He knew that the middle-aged man who was walking towards him was the Executive Deputy Mayor of the Eastern Province, Zhou Yulin. He turned around and saw that the man was about forty-eight years old. He was of medium build, short and fat, with a crew cut, white hair on both sides of his temples. He had a square face, big ears, and small but spirited eyes. His nose was flat, his mouth was wide, and his face was fleshy. At first glance, he looked like a kind and amiable leader, but the faint smile at the corner of his mouth showed that he was not an easy person to get along with.
