Chu Huimin knew that Song Chaoyang was sending him off. He quickly stood up and said, "Secretary, you're too polite. If you have any questions in the future, feel free to look for me. I promise I'll be there anytime."
Song Chaoyang was very satisfied with his attitude. He said to Li Rui, "Xiao Rui, help me send Chief Chu off."
Chu Huimin knew that Song Chaoyang still wanted to talk to Li Jing, so he asked Li Rui to send him off. He didn't dare to look at him. He smiled and said, "No need to send me off. Secretary, I'll go back first. Goodbye."
Song Chaoyang shook his hand and said goodbye. Li Rui sent him off.
In the room, Song Chaoyang asked Li Jing casually, "Mayor Li, how's the planning for your cultural fair coming along?" Li Jing said, "It's almost done. It will be officially held in mid-April. When the time comes, Secretary, if you have time, please help me. "Song Chaoyang nodded and said," Sure, sure. " He sat down on the sofa and asked, "You're in charge of culture, education, health, and sports now. How do you feel?" Li Jing thought for a while and said, "It's okay. I'm not too busy. Of course, I don't have that many official matters. Compared to the other mayors, it's more relaxed." Song Chaoyang nodded and asked, "After Mayor Yu took over the city government, did he adjust the work of the deputy mayors?"
Li Jing shook his head and said, "Not yet, but I think he will make some adjustments." Song Chaoyang asked, "Which work are you interested in?" Li Jing's eyes lit up and said, "Investment promotion, industry, and economy." Song Chaoyang smiled and said, "Okay, I'll mention it to Mayor Yu when I have the chance. But before the new responsibility is placed on your shoulders, you have to stay in your job. In your area, you have to dig deeper, think more, be diligent, be brave, and make more achievements. " Li Jing seemed to be greatly encouraged. He nodded heavily and said, "Secretary, don't worry. I will do as you say and live up to your teachings and expectations."
Outside, not long after Li Rui sent Chu Huimin off, he saw Li Jing being escorted out by Song Chaoyang. He hurriedly stood up to see them off.
Li Jing first persuaded Song Chaoyang to go back to his room. After he closed the door, he glanced back at Li Rui and slowly walked to the door.
Li Rui followed behind her and said, "Take care, Mayor Li."
Li Jing walked to the door and saw that there was no one in the corridor outside. She stopped and turned to Li Rui and said in a low voice, "The cultural exhibition I'm organizing will be held in the middle of April. If you have time, you can go and watch the opening ceremony." Li Rui smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid I don't have time." Li Jing said, "Then watch the news. It's the same." Li Ruixin thought, "Why do I have to watch the opening ceremony of your cultural exhibition? Is it just to watch the female deputy mayor read the speech I wrote for you in front of everyone? " He said perfunctorily, "Alright, I'll definitely take a look when the time comes." Li Jing didn't say anything else. She looked at him deeply and said, "You can go back, I'm leaving." Her tone was gentle and intimate, as if she was talking to a friend.
Li Rui stood at the door and watched her leave. Thinking about the obscure relationship between him and her, he felt proud and confused. He did not know how far they would go in the future.
During dinner in the evening, Song Chaoyang and Li Rui began to criticize themselves, "… This is the most practical and profound lesson for me. I only thought about making political achievements and gaining public support. I was too utilitarian and bureaucratic. I didn't care about the objective reality and made stupid decisions. Sigh, I was so stupid … Not only did I make a fool of myself in front of the Director of Health, Chu Huimin, but I also spread this project to the Standing Committee. Now, every member of the Standing Committee knows that I want to do this' five one one project '. You tell me, if I can't do it, won't they laugh me to death? Sigh, I've been in the officialdom for more than 20 years, and I've never made such a low-level mistake. It's also because things have been going so well recently that I can't help but become arrogant. Xiao Rui, you must not learn from me. "
Li Rui could not help but comfort him. Even so, Song Chaoyang still sighed while eating. He was very unhappy.
Perhaps because he was in a bad mood, Song Chaoyang got off work after dinner. Li Rui sent him to the VIP building and went to Dong Jieyu's General Manager's office. During the day, he had asked Dong Jieyu to make an appointment with his brother, Dong Jinli, to talk about the Water Conservancy Bureau project in the evening.
When he rushed to Dong Jieyu's office, he saw that the brother and sister were there. Dong Jinli was very happy to see him. He stood up and shook hands with him. After some pleasantries, they sat down and began to talk about business.
Li Rui went straight to the point. "Jieyu may have told you that the Water Conservancy Bureau's Director Shi Dalin, who is in charge of the project you want to contract, is a little uncomfortable with me. So, don't think that you can get the project from Shi Dalin through me."
When Dong Jinli heard this, his expression changed. He had heard from his younger sister, Dong Jieyu, that Li Rui could help. Even though there was a grudge between him and Shi Dalin, it wasn't that there was no way. Who would have thought that Li Rui would actually say something like this? It was really shocking. He said in panic, "Is there really no way at all?"
Li Rui smiled faintly and said, "Of course there is, but you have to do me a favor first. As long as you help me, I will try my best to help you get the project."
Dong Jinli heard that there was still hope, so he immediately became excited again. He said, "Tell me, how can I help you? If I can do it, I will definitely do it. Based on our relationship, especially your relationship with Jieyu, I will help you no matter what."
Li Rui smiled and said, "Well, then listen carefully. I want you to do this … this …"
After hearing Li Rui's words, Dong Jinli was dumbfounded. His mouth was open, but he did not know what to say.
Dong Jieyu walked to his side and explained to him, "Now, except for Li Rui, no one can help you with the project you want. Are you willing to see this project in someone else's hands, or are you willing to take a risk and get it with the highest chance of success? It's your choice. "
Dong Jinli looked at her and thought that she was really biased. As his sister, she did not speak for him, but instead spoke for an outsider. How infuriating. However, after thinking about it carefully, her words made sense. On one hand, he could watch the fat duck fly away, and on the other hand, he could play a trick and get the fat duck with a higher chance of success. There was no risk. Even a fool would know what to choose. He laughed and said, "Okay, brother Xiao Rui, this matter is settled. I will immediately start preparing."
After saying goodbye to the Dong siblings, Li Rui walked out of the hotel, called a taxi, and rushed to the city's First Hospital to visit the Duan Xiaoqian who was hospitalized. On the way, he thought about how the Duan Xiaoqian's body was missing an ovary and felt a little strange. He also thought about how difficult it would be for her to get pregnant in the future. He sighed.
Twenty minutes later, Li Rui appeared in the Duan Xiaoqian's ward. The nurse was still there, but Cao Quan was not.
Duan Xiaoqian was lying on the bed, her beautiful hair draped over her shoulders. The usual black luster seemed to have disappeared. Her face was still a little pale, and her spirit was a little sluggish. However, the oxygen tube in her nose had been removed, and the color of her lips had returned to normal. It seemed that her injuries were slowly recovering.
The nurse seemed to have a grudge against Li Rui. When she saw him approaching the Duan Xiaoqian, she said, "Try not to talk to Officer Duan. Let her rest more." Li Rui was so angry that he wanted to kick her out of the tenth floor window. He said unhappily, "I haven't talked to her yet, okay?" The nurse said carelessly, "I don't care if you said anything or not. I'm just reminding you to be careful."
The Duan Xiaoqian suddenly interrupted, "I've already rested for a day. Let me talk. Otherwise, I'm going to suffocate to death."
The nurse had a bad temper. When she heard this, she rolled her eyes and said, "Officer Duan, you won't die of suffocation if you don't talk. However, if you talk too much, it will affect your rest and mood. Your injury will recover more slowly. You don't want to stay in the hospital for a few more days, right?" Then she added, "Anyway, as the head nurse, I've already said what I need to say. You can do as you see fit." After she finished speaking, she turned and walked towards the door with an unhappy look on her face.
Only then did Li Rui realize that she was not an ordinary nurse, but the head nurse. No wonder she was so rude and had a bad temper. It turned out that she was a low-ranking official.
With a click, the door was gently closed. Judging from the head nurse's actions, her professionalism was not bad.
Li Rui curled his lips and walked in front of the bed. He teased the Duan Xiaoqian, "Our Captain Duan is really treated well. He's staying in the old cadre's ward, he's taking care of the head nurse, and he even has the Municipal Party Committee's First Secretary to visit him every day. Tsk tsk, this little life is really not bad." The Duan Xiaoqian's lips curled into a mocking smile and said, "Why don't we switch places? I'll stab you in the stomach and you'll lie here and enjoy this treatment? "Li Rui gave a bored smile and asked," Where's your father? "The Duan Xiaoqian said," He's busy, so he went back to Cangshui first. "Li Rui frowned and said," Then who's going to take care of you? "The Duan Xiaoqian rolled her eyes and said," Didn't you see the head nurse? " Li Rui said, "Then you're really boring. I don't know if that head nurse is on her period or just naturally has this temper. She's really hard to talk to."
The Duan Xiaoqian pursed her lips and ignored him.
Li Rui sat down on a chair by the bed. He lowered his head and saw her white hand by the bed. He reached over and held it in his hand. The Duan Xiaoqian did not react and only looked at him.
