Yu Heping asked curiously, "Is there such a thing?"
Han Song huffed angrily. "I can't believe it either. Hmph … I'm puzzled. Why doesn't she know the ways of the world? Logically speaking, she should at least express her gratitude for my warm welcome and sit down with me for a chat. Who knew that she wouldn't give me any face at all? I was so angry. Now that I've calmed down and thought about it, could it be that she has reached a secret agreement with the Municipal Party Committee? "
Yu Heping snorted and said, "Why is Li Rui everywhere?! It can't be that they have reached a secret agreement. Otherwise, they would have gone straight to the Municipal Party Committee the moment they arrived. Why would they come to our city? In my opinion, you didn't prepare well enough. You didn't do a solid job and didn't take care of the details. That gave Li Rui an opportunity to take advantage of you. "
Han Song was secretly dissatisfied. You just assigned me to be in charge of this matter the day before yesterday. How would I have had time to prepare? Moreover, you didn't tell me any details. Even if you had told me that the other party's leader was a girl, I wouldn't have made such a big mistake. He felt indignant, but he said, "But I've already followed them. I'll try my best to snatch Chief Zheng and the others back. In short, I can't let Li Rui steal the limelight."
Yu Heping warned him, "Old Han, don't act rashly. Regardless of what Li Rui did, Chief Zheng will listen to him for a long time from now on. You'd better wait and see. Choose the best time to make a move. Otherwise, you'll completely push Chief Zheng and the others to the Municipal Party Committee. Our city will lose face and everything."
Han Song didn't take his words seriously. He thought that Li Rui was just a small secretary. With his powerful strength as the deputy mayor, he could crush him. Previously, he had been caught off guard and was attacked by him. From now on, he would be careful. Would he be able to take advantage of him again? Just wait and see. When we reach the first inspection point, I'll snatch Zheng Yongyi and the others back and let Li Rui see what a thunderous method is. He said, "Got it. Wait for my good news." Then, he hung up.
Ten minutes later, Li Rui's car was only a few dozen meters away from Shengjing Hotel. Here, Wang Weihua asked the driver to stop. Then, he got out of the car with Li Rui and turned around to meet Zheng Yongyi's Mercedes-Benz MPV.
The Mercedes-Benz's driver didn't wait for Zheng Yongyi's order. He had already stopped steadily behind the car in front. Zheng Yongyi and her entourage got out of the car.
When Li Rui walked toward Zheng Yongyi, he had already caught a glimpse of the cars that the deputy mayor, Han Song, and the others were in. They were also slowly parked by the roadside. He sneered inwardly. So what if you followed me? Do you think you can snatch Zheng Yongyi back? Do you think I'll give you a chance? Without looking at them for long, he quickly walked to Zheng Yongyi and pointed sideways at the Shengjing Hotel. "Chief Zheng, this is the Shengjing Hotel. Do you want to take a look around, or do you want to enter the hotel for a visit? I can arrange it for you. "
Zheng Yongyi admired Li Rui's work style. He was always direct and efficient. He didn't say a word of nonsense. In this regard, he was much better than the previous deputy mayor. Dealing with him saved her time and effort. It was a very rare experience dealing with a government official.
She smiled at Li Rui in a friendly manner and said, "Thank you. How should I address you?"
Just as Li Rui was about to tell her his official position, he suddenly remembered Xu Xinyi's English name. He guessed that Xu Xinyi, who was from Hong Kong, was the same as Xu Xinyi, who was from a foreign company. They liked to call each other by their English name. It was concise and friendly. He quickly changed his words, "You can call me Doug."
Zheng Yongyi was stunned. She couldn't believe her ears and asked, "Call you a dog?"
Li Rui said, "Yes. My English name is Douglas. It's a little long and inconvenient, so my university classmates only said the first part of my name and called me Doug. You can call me Doug as well. "
"Ha … Haha …"
When Zheng Yongyi heard Li Rui's explanation, she realized that he was calling her Doug and not dog. Before she could say anything, Han Song's contemptuous laughter sounded from behind her.
Li Rui looked up and saw that Han Song was approaching.
Han Song walked to Zheng Yongyi's side and stood still. He smiled at her and looked at Li Rui. "Call you a dog? Haha, if I remember correctly, the English word 'dog' means dog, right? " As he spoke, he looked at him with a mocking expression, as if to say, "You want us to call you a dog, right?"
Li Rui was annoyed when he heard that, but he didn't flare up in front of Zheng Yongyi and pretended not to hear it.
Zheng Yongyi, however, felt that it was unfair for him. She asked Han Song coldly, "Mayor Han, I don't know what's so funny. You have to know that this Doug is not a dog. "
Han Song was so frightened that his heart skipped a beat. He cursed in his heart. You b * tch, I respected you and was considerate of you before. It's fine if you don't appreciate it, but now you're helping Li Rui to target me. Are you f * cking stupid or have you been brainwashed by Li Rui? Hmph, it's only because you're a VIP of Qingyang City. Otherwise, I'd have to have a good talk with you. With a smile on his face, he changed the topic and said, "Chief Zheng, if you have any requests, feel free to ask me. I'll definitely satisfy you."
Zheng Yongyi said, "I don't have any requests. I'd like to invite Doug to accompany us around." She then looked at Li Rui and said, "Is it convenient for you?"
Li Rui said, "Okay, let's begin."
Zheng Yongyi reached to the side and the man who looked like a supervisor handed her a mini iPad.
The iPad showed the current map on the screen. The magnification was very large and very clear.
Zheng Yongyi lowered her head and looked at the iPad screen. She stretched out her slender finger and drew a small circle around the intersection where Shengjing Hotel was located. The circle extended about 200 meters in all four directions of the intersection. She said, "Doug, I'd like to invite you to accompany me around this area and answer some of my questions."
Li Rui saw her behavior and thought that Hong Kong people were indeed Hong Kong people. They were really advanced. They actually brought a computer map with them to explore the environment. He nodded and said, "No problem, please follow me." After that, he led the way.
Zheng Yongyi returned the iPad to the supervisor and followed him. The few subordinates she brought with her also followed behind.
Han Song once again found that he was ignored by them. The anger in his stomach could fill up a liquefied gas tank. He glared at them as they walked further and further away. He secretly snorted angrily and followed after them.
"Doug, are you a government official?"
Li Rui was walking forward when Zheng Yongyi suddenly asked him such a question. He nodded and said, "I am. I'm currently working in the Municipal Party Committee's General Office." Zheng Yongyi shook her head and said, "It's hard to imagine that there would be such a practical and capable government official like you in mainland China. I feel like you're comparable to the Hong Kong officials." Li Rui smiled modestly and said, "Director Zheng, you're too kind." Zheng Yongyi said, "You can also call me by my English name. I'm Dana. It's nice to meet you." After that, she extended her hand to him.
Li Rui was surprised and happy. He knew that she had acknowledged his gesture. Otherwise, she wouldn't have taken the initiative to shake hands with him. He quickly extended his hand to her.
After the two shook hands, they looked at each other and smiled. They continued to walk but didn't talk about anything unrelated to work.
After that, Li Rui led Zheng Yongyi and the others around the circle that she had drawn for a long time. During that time, Zheng Yongyi and the others carefully observed the structure of the main road, the traffic, and the flow of people. From time to time, they would write and draw on their iPads and notebooks. Zheng Yongyi also asked Li Rui about the main political and business structure of the streets that extended from the intersection where Shengjing Hotel was located. She asked very carefully. Li Ruixin was very puzzled. Was she here to observe the investment environment or to observe Shengjing Hotel's competitor? Why did she insist on not letting Shengjing Hotel go?
After a round, Zheng Yongyi didn't comment and let Li Rui continue to take her to the planned inspection site. Li Rui nodded in agreement and found Wang Weihua to arrange it.
At this time, Han Song looked at the time. It was already past 11: 30. He thought that he had finally found a good opportunity to make a move. He rushed forward and said, "Director Zheng, you see that it's lunchtime. Why don't we stop here and eat first. After that, we'll take a break and continue the inspection. What do you think?"
Zheng Yongyi flashed the silver watch on her jade wrist and looked at it. She said, "It's still early. I think we can go to another inspection site. What do you think, Doug?"
Of course, Li Rui wouldn't go against her wishes. He said, "I have no objections. Get in the car. Let's go to the next inspection site."
Zheng Yongyi smiled with satisfaction and called her subordinates to return to the car.
Han Song watched her get into the car with hatred and then glared at Li Rui. He thought to himself, Doug, f * ck you, a group of Chinese pretending to be foreign devils. It's so disgusting. They're simply the new generation of traitors. At this time, he also understood why Li Rui was recognized by Zheng Yongyi. It was because Li Rui, this guy, was cunning and knew how to worship foreigners and fawn over foreigners to fool Zheng Yongyi, this devil from Hong Kong. Look, the two of them even called each other by their English names. Why would they use such names when they were Chinese? Was there anything more shameless in the world than this? He was so angry that his liver hurt. He really wanted to leave, but he remembered that he hadn't completed the task that Yu Heping had given him. It would be difficult to report when he went back. He could only suppress his anger and return to the car. He continued to tail and be the person who was destined to be on the sidelines.
