Wu Nan said tenderly, "If you accompany me, I dare to go to KTV. I'm not afraid to go every night." Li Rui's body heated up when he heard that. He laughed and said, "Going to KTV is a big deal. Do you still need to use 'dare' to describe it?" Wu Nan laughed and didn't say anything. After a while, she said quietly, "Xiao Rui, I miss you."
These words expressed her affection. Li Rui felt the blood in his body burning up. There was even a certain part of him that was ready to move. He quickly turned to the corner and bowed slightly to hide his embarrassment. He swallowed his saliva and said softly, "Sister Nan, I … I …"
Wu Nan asked softly, "Did you miss me?" Li Rui said softly, "Yes, I wanted to go to the Flower Stone House to drink with you." Wu Nan asked excitedly, "Did you miss me or did you want to drink with me?" Li Rui asked back, "Is there a difference?" Wu Nan was very happy and said angrily, "You're so annoying. You're beating around the bush …"
Ten minutes later, Li Rui rushed to the private room. He saw that all his friends in the circle were already there. There were no outsiders. They were all familiar friends. His god-brother Li Ming, "Brother Wei" Guan Weiwei, the organizer of the party, Zeng Hanlin, and his brother Cheng Songhua. There were only five people including himself.
Guan Weiwei saw that he was late and pointed at him and said, "Xiao Rui, you're wrong. Brother Zeng is promoting such a happy event. How can you be late? You don't have to say anything. Punish yourself by drinking three glasses. Haha. "
Li Rui smiled as Cheng Songhua offered him a seat on the sofa. He said, "Okay, no problem. Where's the wine? I'll drink three glasses to express my apology. Brother Hanlin, don't be so picky. Actually, I arrived a long time ago. I was delayed by a friend's call. I was outside the door making a phone call. "
Zeng Hanlin laughed and raised his hand to stop him. He said, "We're brothers. There's no need to talk so much. Don't listen to Xiao Wei. He's just playing with you. Come, sit down and drink slowly. "
Li Rui smiled and picked up a new glass of wine. The glass was filled with orange-yellow liquor. He said, "Then I'm late. No matter what, I have to express my gratitude. How about this, I'll punish myself with a glass to apologize to my brothers for making you wait for so long. Haha." As he spoke, he downed the glass in two big gulps.
Guan Weiwei clapped and exclaimed, "Awesome! Xiao Rui, it's no wonder everyone likes you. You're really straightforward. Just do what you say. "
Li Ming laughed and said, "Little Wei, don't be so eager to see the world in chaos. Xiao Rui, don't drink so fast, take your time. "
Li Rui put down the wine cup on the tea table and said to Ceng Hanlin, "Brother Hanlin, I'll take a breather first. I'll toast you later. In addition, all the expenses tonight will be on me. Treat it as a brother congratulating you. "
Upon hearing this, Guan Weiwei hurriedly exclaimed, "Hey, Xiao Rui, you're wrong again. Why are you stealing Brother Wei's job? Haha, as soon as I entered the private room, I told my brothers that I'll pay the bill tonight to congratulate Brother Ceng for his promotion. You can't do it on my behalf. Think of other ways to congratulate me. "
Li Rui frowned slightly. He could already tell that Guan Weiwei was deliberately targeting him tonight. Even though he was always laughing and joking, and there was nothing wrong with his tone, he still felt that he was targeting him. He was very puzzled. What did he do wrong? Or did he offend him in some way?
Ceng Hanlin smiled and waved his hand, "Xiao Rui, don't buy it. Little Wei, don't buy it either. I'll pay the bill tonight. This is my happy occasion, so I should treat my brothers. Don't steal it from me. Haha … That's right, everyone's here. Let's chat and have some fun. We'll call a few princesses to accompany us. " Li Ming was shocked and hurriedly said, "Let's not call them princesses. Let's just sit together and chat, in case something happens." Ceng Hanlin was very puzzled and said, "What can happen if we call the princesses to accompany us?" Li Ming looked at Li Rui and said, "Xiao Rui just told me a few days ago that there's been a change in the wind in the city. Us underlings should be careful and keep a low profile. Don't let anyone get a hold of us."
Ceng Hanlin looked at Li Rui in astonishment.
Guan Weiwei was impatient and hurriedly said, "Xiao Rui, what's the change in wind? Explain it clearly."
Li Rui didn't hide it from them and said, "You should all know about the new changes in the Municipal Government. I won't say more, but I'll tell you that the new person doesn't get along with my boss. Moreover, that person doesn't like to play by the rules. Therefore, my brother and I, as my boss's trusted subordinates, must be careful. We can't leave any evidence behind. Otherwise, people might use it to attack us."
Li Ming thought deeply and nodded repeatedly.
Ceng Hanlin thought carefully for a while before he understood. He nodded and laughed, "Okay, then we won't call them princesses. Let's just chat, haha. Come, let's drink first and be happy together! "
The few of them picked up their glasses and drank together.
Li Rui drank the second glass and felt a little dizzy. His thoughts were in a mess. He didn't know why, but he suddenly thought of Yuan Jingjing. He thought of the situation she told him over the phone. He was a little worried about her, so he took out his phone and sent her a text message. "I'm having a small gathering with friends at the Red Restaurant. Come over and get a private room. I'll find you when I'm done."
It was just past eight o 'clock, so it was still early. Therefore, he had enough time to accompany Yuan Jingjing for a while after the small gathering with Ceng Hanlin and the others. As for why he didn't go to Yuan Jingjing's house and asked her to come over, it was to save time and also for safety reasons. He wanted to avoid being discovered by outsiders as much as possible.
When he sent the text message, Cheng Songhua was asking Ceng Hanlin, "Brother, you've been promoted. When will your rank be decided?" Ceng Hanlin said, "Administrative rank. The Organization Department has already gone through the procedures. Our Standing Committee for Discipline Inspection has also approved it. Now, we're waiting for the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee to approve it." Cheng Songhua nodded and smiled bitterly. "Among all of us, I am the oldest, and my rank is the lowest."
Li Rui quickly comforted Dong Xuebing. "Brother, what are you talking about? My rank is also the lowest. Both of us are Section Chief. "Cheng Songhua said." But you are more than 10 years younger than me. " Li Rui said. "Brother, don't worry. I feel that a person's life depends on luck. If your luck doesn't come, you can only endure. But if your luck comes, you will be successful. Brother, your luck has come. You had been promoted to a Political Commissar last year, and you will be promoted in the next two years. You will not be able to stop it. Hahaha … "
Li Ming also smiled and comforted. "I like what Xiao Rui said. Indeed, in the bureaucracy, you need luck. Or should I say, luck. When your luck comes, you will be promoted. I feel that Xiao Rui is our luck. If it wasn't for him, all of us here will not have our positions today. So, I suggest that we all toast to Xiao Rui to thank him for his help. "
As soon as this was said, everyone raised their glasses and drank. They also thought about Li Ming's words in their hearts. In the end, they didn't know. After thinking about it, they suddenly realized that it was true. If they didn't know Li Rui, how could their luck change? How could they have their current glory?
Guan Weiwei was originally the Political Commissar of the Municipal Traffic Police Detachment. Now, he was promoted to Deputy Chief.
Li Ming was originally the Deputy Chief of the South District. Now, he was promoted to Chief.
Ceng Hanlin was originally the Deputy Chief of the Municipal Discipline Inspection Department. He had been a Section Chief for many years. Today, he was finally promoted to Chief. His rank was also Deputy Chief.
Cheng Songhua was originally the Deputy Chief of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. Now, he was the Political Commissar. His rank was promoted to Section Chief.
These people's changes happened after they knew Li Rui. Although not everyone was promoted by Li Rui, if they thought about it carefully, if they did not know Li Rui, they would not have such opportunities in life. How could they have such changes?
Among the people, Guan Weiwei's thoughts were the deepest. He felt that he was promoted from the Political Commissar of the Municipal Traffic Police Detachment to the Chief. He did not get Li Rui's help. However, he was also willing to believe that if he did not know Li Rui, he would not have such a promotion. Even if he could get promoted, he was not confident. After all, his father, who was the leader of the Municipal Party Committee, was already past his prime. He had no backing and could be replaced at any time. However, with Li Rui, who was the First Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, he was confident that he could continue to be promoted under Li Rui's care.
Of course, Guan Weiwei did not think about this before. It was only after he heard what Li Rui said that he realized that Li Rui was so beneficial to him. Before this small gathering, he was still jealous of his sister-in-law, Lin Yali, who was too good to Li Rui. Therefore, when Li Rui came late, he said a few strange words in a joking way. In fact, he was jealous. But now, after considering this point, he suddenly realized that he couldn't lose Li Rui as a friend, and even more so, he couldn't be at odds with him. Otherwise, his official career and even his life would be affected. He also logically understood why Li Rui was willing to use his wife, Lin Yali, who was such a beauty, to make friends with Li Rui. It was ridiculous that he was still jealous of him because of a woman when he was already a Deputy Division Chief.
"Damn, the more I live, the more I think about it. When I first met him, I knew to give up pursuing Dong Jieyu for him. Why is it that now I am jealous of him because of a woman who is not as good as Dong Jieyu in all aspects? I am so f * cking blind! "
