Xu Xinyi frowned and asked: "You came early?" Li Rui said: "Not too long." Xu Xinyi smiled and smoothed her hair: "Why didn't you come in to find me?" Li Rui said: "I didn't dare." Xu Xinyi laughed: "Haha, I'm not a demon, why are you afraid of me?" Li Rui said seriously: "Didn't you say that you don't like to socialize? I was afraid that I would disturb your meal, so I didn't dare to go in." Xu Xinyi heard this and her smile froze on her face. She looked at him for a while and said: "You're very good." Li Rui was a little embarrassed by her praise and said: "It's nothing. You're Green Sun's most distinguished guest and I'm responsible for receiving you. Of course I have to think for you. "
Xu Xinyi smiled gently and said: "Have you eaten?" Li Rui said: "I've eaten. I've eaten at home every day when I come to pick up Song Shuji." Xu Xinyi said: "Then you came to find me because you can start today's inspection?" Li Rui smiled: "Yes, we can start, but I have some things to take care of in my office. I want you to wait for me for a while. I'll go with you when I'm done." Xu Xinyi said straightforwardly: "Okay, isn't today's inspection arranged very relaxed? I have time to wait for you. "
After Li Rui brought Xu Xinyi to the Municipal Party Committee, he asked her to sit on the sofa for a while. He quickly sorted the documents on the table into categories. The important and urgent ones that should be transferred to Song Chaoyang would be handed over to him. The rest would be put aside and dealt with when he came back. After ten minutes, he was finally done and hurriedly asked Xu Xinyi to set off.
Yesterday, Xu Xinyi was inspecting the location of the Santa Fe Pharmaceutical branch factory that could be built in the future. At the same time, she also learned about the investment policies of the high-tech zone. Today, she was going to inspect the resources that could be used in the future. This included manpower, raw materials, and so on.
Li Rui didn't know much about what she wanted to investigate. He knew that she didn't like to talk nonsense, so he didn't ask. He just followed her obediently and acted as her guide and driver. He casually found a car from the office, pulled Xu Xinyi into the car, and started to wander around Qingyang City according to her plan.
After walking around for the whole morning, the two of them were already very familiar with each other by the time they had lunch outside. Hence, they threw away their previous restraint and chatted while eating. Occasionally, they would even joke a little.
Li Rui said, "I really didn't expect that the key pendant you gave me to be a pocket flashlight. The light from it is very strong." Xu Xinyi said as she ate, "There's something you didn't expect." Li Rui was stunned and asked, "Is it about the key pendant?" Xu Xinyi nodded. Li Rui said, "Could there be some kind of mechanism inside?" Xu Xinyi pursed her lips and smiled, "Let me tell you that the key pendant is made of pure silver. Would you believe me?" Li Rui was shocked. He didn't have the key pendant on him, so he couldn't tell if she was telling the truth or not. But when he thought about it carefully, the key pendant did seem to be very heavy. He said, "You gave me such a valuable souvenir? No, I can't accept it. Wait for me, I'll bring it to you tomorrow morning. " Xu Xinyi smiled and said, "I'll be flying back to Shanghai tonight. Will you still be able to see me tomorrow morning?" Li Rui was shocked again and said, "Didn't you say you were going to inspect for two days?" Xu Xinyi smiled and said, "That's right. One day yesterday and one day today. Isn't that two days?"
Li Rui had only known this "non-famous" foreign company's beautiful assistant for less than a day, but his feelings towards her had already undergone a profound change. In the beginning, he felt that this woman only had work in her eyes and was unreasonable and difficult to communicate with. But now, he realized that she was still very humane, even if she was more focused on work. Now that he heard that she was going to fly away at night, he couldn't help but feel a little reluctant to part with her.
Li Rui said, "Then I'll send you off tonight." Xu Xinyi said, "I was just about to trouble you. Otherwise, I wouldn't know how to get from Qingyang to Jingnan. Hehe. "
After lunch, the two didn't rest. After getting into the car, they continued to rush through the streets and alleys of Qingyang.
At around three o 'clock, Xu Xinyi's inspection was basically over.
On the way back to the Municipal Party Committee, Xu Xinyi said, "I'll meet with your Song Shuji and then leave. Thank you for your warm reception and care for me these two days. On behalf of myself and our Chief Zheng, I welcome you to Shanghai as a guest. "Li Rui said," You don't have to be so polite. But before I leave, I want to ask you, what are the results of your inspection? " Xu Xinyi smiled and said, "I told you yesterday that the results of my inspection were almost useless. In the end, Chief Zheng made the final decision." Li Rui also smiled and said, "But I just want to know your opinion." Xu Xinyi shook her head and said, "I don't think it's very ideal. Like I told you before, your advantages here aren't obvious. Whether it's the location, transportation, or policies, there's nothing that makes one's eyes light up. Moreover, through today's inspection, I know that you lack the chemical raw materials used for pharmaceutical production. This requires long-distance transportation, which will invisibly increase our pharmaceutical production costs. After considering all these, I personally don't recommend building a pharmaceutical factory here. "
Hearing this, Li Rui frowned and smiled bitterly. Xu Xinyi sighed faintly and said, "I know that as a citizen of Qingyang, you hope that our Duffy Pharmaceutical Company will settle here. On one hand, we'll increase your tax revenue, and on the other, we'll help your city develop. Unfortunately, the conditions here aren't very good …" Li Rui shook his head and said, "Actually, I personally don't want your Duffy Pharmaceutical Company to open a branch here." Xu Xinyi was slightly surprised and said, "Why?" Li Rui said, "Because once the pharmaceutical factory is built, it will definitely affect the environment here. If the air is bad, the health of our local people will also be affected. Then, no matter how beautiful the city's development is, will it be able to prolong our lives? "Xu Xinyi was amused and said," Your worries are superfluous. Our Duffy Pharmaceutical Company will strictly abide by the country's environmental regulations and use the world's most advanced environmental protection equipment to ensure the purity of the emissions. So far, as far as I know, none of the pharmaceutical factories in our country have ever been punished for environmental issues. "Li Rui said," Just because they haven't been punished doesn't mean that they don't have environmental issues. Maybe they've paid the right amount. "Xu Xinyi asked curiously," Paid the right amount? To whom? "Li Rui said," The Environmental Protection Bureau. "Xu Xinyi shook her head and said," I'm not sure about that. "
After returning to the Municipal Party Committee, Xu Xinyi said goodbye to Song Chaoyang. The two talked for a while before Xu Xinyi came out of his office and said to Li Rui, "He wants you to come in."
Li Rui entered the room and saw Song Chaoyang. He told him the results of the investigation that he had just learned from Xu Xinyi. Song Chaoyang could only smile bitterly and said, "No matter what, she's here on behalf of Old Zheng, so she's always been our guest. Regardless of whether this matter will succeed or not, we can't be lacking in etiquette. How about this, I'll have to trouble you to send her to the Provincial Capital Airport with Lao Zhou. If it's too late, you don't have to come back. Rest for the night and rush back tomorrow morning. "
Li Rui obeyed and left. He first called Lao Zhou and asked him to wait downstairs. Then, he went to greet Secretary-General Du Minsheng. Only then did he bring Xu Xinyi downstairs and get into Lao Zhou's car. They went to the Qingyang Hotel to get her suitcase. Then, they drove on the highway to the Provincial Capital and went straight to the airport.
Xu Xinyi's flight took off at seven in the evening and would land at Shanghai Pudong International Airport in about an hour. From the looks of it, Shanghai was still very close to Jingnan.
At six in the evening, they finally arrived at the Provincial Capital International Airport. Li Rui helped Xu Xinyi drag her suitcase to the terminal to send her off.
Not far from the security checkpoint, the two of them shook hands and said goodbye.
Xu Xinyi had a graceful smile on her face and said, "The biggest reward of my trip to Shannan this time is to make a friend like you. I'm very happy." Li Rui held her soft hand and felt that it was warm and smooth. For a moment, he felt a ripple in his heart. He could only look at her but could not say anything. Xu Xinyi raised her eyebrows, tilted her head, and looked at him with a smile that was not a smile, and said, "You don't hate me because I didn't say anything good about Qingyang in the results of the investigation, do you?" Li Rui was so scared that he hastily opened his mouth and said, "Of course not, don't joke around." Xu Xinyi laughed and said, "I was just joking."
After chatting and laughing, the atmosphere seemed a little bleak.
Xu Xinyi said, "I'm leaving. You're welcome to visit Shanghai at any time. Call me when you arrive in Shanghai. You have my business card. " Li Rui suddenly realized something and said, "I don't have a business card. Why don't … why don't you take down my phone number?" Xu Xinyi nodded with a smile and took out her phone to take down his number. Li Rui said, "Don't forget to tell me when you're back in Shanghai." Xu Xinyi said, "Well, maybe. When I'm back in Shanghai, you and Mr. Zhou will still be on your way back to Qingyang. Thank you for your hard work. "
The two of them looked at each other and nodded. Then Li Rui could only watch Xu Xinyi's tall and graceful figure walk into the security checkpoint.
After returning to the car, Li Rui asked Lao Zhou, "Brother Zhou, are we going to the Provincial Capital to eat or go back to Qingyang?" Lao Zhou laughed and said, "If you're hungry, we'll eat in the Provincial Capital. If you're not hungry, we'll go back to Qingyang first. "Li Rui said," I'm not hungry yet. What about you? "Lao Zhou said," Then let's go back to Qingyang. "
