Li Rui looked at Li Yulan. In front of Yuan Jingjing and Zhang Jinfang, he couldn't say anything too warm to her. He said, "Secretary Li, I have something to do in our city. I have to go back soon. Thank you for taking care of me these days … "Li Yulan said," Well, I know. Go back quickly. Don't delay. " They looked at each other. Li Rui was reluctant to leave. Li Yulan's sweet eyes were also misty.
Yuan Jingjing also said goodbye to Li Yulan and turned to leave. When Zhang Jinfang also turned around, Li Rui immediately made a phone call to Li Yulan and hinted with his eyes that they should keep in touch. Li Yulan smiled and nodded.
When the car arrived at the Qingyang Water Conservancy Bureau, Li Rui respectfully said to Yuan Jingjing, "Thank you, director. Thank you for taking me back." Yuan Jingjing didn't seem to hear him. She looked at the door on his side as if to remind him why he didn't get off. Li Rui had long been used to her yelling at him. Suddenly, there was a day when she was cold and indifferent to him. He was a little unaccustomed to it. He laughed awkwardly and said, "I'm really sorry about what happened last time. But at that time, I was too angry …" Yuan Jingjing interrupted him and scolded, "Get out, get out of here!" Li Rui heard her scolding him again and only then did he feel at ease. He smiled awkwardly and opened the door to get out of the car. Yuan Jingjing suddenly said, "Go home and take a shower and change into clean clothes …" Li Rui was stunned. He didn't know whether she was talking to him or talking to herself. He looked back at her in surprise. Yuan Jingjing didn't look at him and continued, "… So that we don't embarrass the Water Conservancy Bureau when we go to the Municipal Party Committee." Only then did Li Rui understand that she was concerned about him. He was pleasantly surprised and could not help calling out, "Jingjing, you … you are really good." Yuan Jingjing was furious, she called out, "The one surnamed Li, if you call my name again, I am going to kill you. Get out of here! "
Li Rui returned home happily. The moment he took out the key to open the door, he thought of the conflict between him and his wife, Liu Liping, and his heart sank again.
Li Jianmin was cooking lunch at home. When he saw his son come back, he was very happy. But when he saw that his son was so dirty that he looked like a beggar, he felt bad. However, he didn't show it and only urged him to take a shower and change his clothes.
Li Rui took a shower seriously. After the shower, he fixed his hairstyle and shaved meticulously. Then, he soaked his dirty clothes and came out to change. He asked his father about his health these two days.
After the father and son finished exchanging greetings, Li Jianmin said, "Why isn't Liping back yet? Xiao Rui, you're a man. You should be more forgiving. Go and bring her back." Li Rui found out that Liu Liping hadn't come back since the last time they quarreled. But it was good that she didn't come back. He was determined to get a divorce. He thought to himself, Your son has already been accused by that Liu b * tch. If you bring her back, wouldn't that be even more embarrassing? He said, "Dad, don't worry about this. I'm going to divorce her. Definitely!"
When Li Jianmin heard this, he sighed.
Li Rui saw this and felt very guilty. He said, "Dad, I didn't choose a good wife and made you suffer for so many years. This divorce will only make you more annoyed. But it's better to have a short pain than a long one. Sooner or later, this will happen. Dad, don't worry. After the divorce, we'll live a good life. "Li Jianmin said," Humph, what good life? We don't have a wife, we don't have grandchildren. How can that be called a good life? "Li Rui said," Dad, this is easy. Don't worry. I have something to do in the afternoon. Let's eat first. "
Li Rui didn't tell Li Jianmin that the Municipal Party Committee had summoned him because he didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing. If it was a good thing, then it was fine. If it was a bad thing, wouldn't he be happy for nothing if he told him in advance?
After lunch, Li Rui went downstairs to call Liu Liping. Liu Liping picked up quickly this time. When Li Rui saw that she picked up the call so quickly, he knew that she was showing signs of remorse. He was afraid that she would rush to beg for mercy and shake his resolve. He said coldly, "Liu Liping, hurry up and come back to get a divorce. How many times do I have to say it?" He didn't wait for her to speak and hung up.
At half past one in the afternoon, Li Rui appeared at the entrance of the Municipal Party Committee building on time.
The two buildings of the Qingyang Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government were located on Hongqi Road in the center of the city. They were adjacent to each other on the west and east sides. The Municipal Party Committee building was 12 stories tall, while the Municipal Government building was 10 stories tall. Both buildings were built in the 1970s. After so many years, they were extremely old. Compared to the bright and beautiful high-rise buildings in the city center, they paled in comparison. They were not beautiful at all. It was said that many leaders of the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government wanted to tear down these two old buildings and build new ones. However, no one knew the reason.
Li Rui had always admired and admired the Municipal Party Committee building. However, he didn't know the reason for his admiration. Perhaps it was because the building gathered the top power in Qingyang City. In this regard, the government building on the east side, which was two stories shorter, was slightly inferior. Li Rui knew that although the Municipal Government ruled this ancient city with a population of six million on the surface, in fact, the Municipal Government had to act according to the wishes of the Municipal Party Committee. This was not only a characteristic of Qingyang City's officialdom, but also a rule that all places in the country had to follow.
Before today, Li Rui had only interacted with the Municipal Government because of his work. He had never entered the Municipal Party Committee. He never thought that one day, he would have the opportunity to enter the building. What was even more ridiculous was that he still didn't know the reason why he was summoned. Was it a blessing or a disaster?
Li Rui trembled with fear and trepidation as he arrived at the office of the Municipal Party Committee on the seventh floor of the Municipal Party Committee building. He wandered around the corridor and found the office of the Second Secretary. The phone call that Yuan Jingjing had received was from the Second Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee's Office.
Li Rui saw that the door was open, so he didn't knock. He walked in quietly and explained the situation to a man with glasses who was closest to the door.
After the man heard what he said, he adjusted his wide-rimmed glasses and said, "You're Li Rui? That's right. I'm the one who called you. Wait a moment. I'll go find Director Chen. He's the one who wants to see you. "He got up and walked inside.
Li Rui was very happy that he had successfully found the person who had summoned him. At the same time, he was a little confused. He didn't know why Director Chen was looking for him. He had never met Director Chen from the Second Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee's Office. Did he find the wrong person?
The man with glasses walked to the innermost part of the room and whispered a few words to a man sitting at a table on the west side. The man raised his head and looked at Li Rui. Li Rui didn't want to say anything, so he smiled and nodded at him. He thought that he must be Director Chen.
Director Chen walked over with the man with glasses. The man with glasses returned to his seat and continued working. Director Chen stood in front of Li Rui and looked him up and down with an expressionless face. He asked, "You're Li Rui from the Water Conservancy Bureau?" Li Rui nodded and said, "I am." Director Chen said, "I'm not the one looking for you. It's the Secretary-General. Wait here for a moment. I'll ask the Secretary-General if he has time now. "
When Li Rui heard this, his heart almost jumped out of his chest. Was there a mistake? It wasn't Director Chen who was looking for him, but the Secretary-General. The Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee? He was a member of the Municipal Party Committee's Standing Committee and a Deputy Director. Why was he looking for him? What … what was going on? Was he dreaming? He wanted to confirm with Director Chen, but he had already left.
The man with glasses raised his head and said to him, "Take a seat first." He then pointed to the empty seat across from Director Chen's desk. Li Rui thanked him and didn't stand on ceremony. He walked to the empty seat and sat down. All that was left was to wait.
Director Chen didn't leave for long before he came back. He stood at the door and waved at Li Rui when he found him. Li Rui quickly walked to him. Director Chen said, "The Secretary-General is not busy. Come with me."
Director Chen led Li Rui up the stairs to the eighth floor. It seemed that the office of the Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee was not together with the General Office. After taking two steps out of the stairwell, Director Chen turned around and walked into an office next door. He said in a low voice, "Come in."
Li Rui followed him into the office. The first thing they saw was a short corridor that led to the left and right. There was a small door at the side, but they didn't know what was inside. Director Chen walked all the way inside. There was a dark red wooden door. He gently knocked twice and said, "Secretary-General, I've brought Li Rui here." A man's voice came from inside. "Let him in."
Director Chen turned around and waved for Li Rui to come over. Li Rui suppressed the excitement in his heart and walked to the door. Director Chen saw that he had stopped and whispered, "Open the door and go in." He didn't say anything else and turned around to leave.
Li Rui held the door handle and didn't turn it immediately. Instead, he calmed himself down and forced a respectful smile on his face before opening the door and walking in.
The room was very large, but the furnishings were very simple. Li Rui didn't dare to look around. Instead, he stared behind the only large office desk in the room. There was a thin and withered man at the desk writing something. When he heard the door open, he raised his head slightly and glanced at Li Rui. "Take a seat first. I need to write something." He then continued to write.
Li Rui didn't expect that the Secretary-General of the Qingyang Municipal Party Committee would be such a thin and small guy. When he raised his head just now, Li Rui had already seen part of his face. His face was pale, his eyebrows were trimmed, his eyes weren't big, but they were full of spirit. He had a small oval face. At first glance, he looked like a woman. Moreover, he was a good-looking woman. Judging from his face, he looked to be in his thirties. However, judging from his short black and white hair, he seemed to be in his forties or even older. Tsk, tsk. It was really hard to imagine that such a thin and feminine guy would be the Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee. My goodness. If I saw him on the streets, I wouldn't believe that he was such a high-ranking official.
Li Rui saw that there were two chairs in front of the desk. However, those were prepared for close subordinates. He didn't dare to sit there. Instead, he walked to the sofa by the door and sat down. Half of his butt was on the seat. He straightened his back and quietly waited for the man to finish.
