When Li Rui woke up the next morning, he still felt a headache. The feeling of a hangover was very obvious. He sat up and saw that Xu Da was still sleeping soundly beside him. He glanced at his leg and saw that there seemed to be a dead rat under his feet. He leaned over and saw that it was really a dead rat. However, it was a dead rat that had been eaten until it was incomplete. There was no meat left on the rat's body, only a mangled skin and a tail. After looking at it, he was shocked. Where did this dead rat come from? When he came up last night, he used a flashlight to illuminate the area. His feet were clean and there was nothing. How could a dead rat suddenly appear? Also, what kind of animal ate it?
He was puzzled and did not have the mood to think about this profound question. He turned around and patted Xu Da's shoulder to wake him up.
Xu Da sat up and stretched. He looked at the remaining beer and peanuts and recalled the scene of last night's drinking. He laughed out loud. Although the haze in his heart was not completely gone, he did not take it to heart. It seemed that when he was upset, it was very useful to find a good friend to drink and relieve his depression.
He smiled at Li Rui and said, "I won't go anywhere these days. I'll stay in Qingyang and drink with you every day. Ha, this kind of life is quite carefree and happy. I like it!" When Li Rui heard this, he almost spat out his bile. He thought to himself, I almost vomited last night. If it wasn't to accompany you, I would have stopped drinking long ago. You want to drink with me every day? Do you want to play me to death? But he did not directly refuse. He smiled bitterly and said, "But I have to work during the day. I don't have time to drink with you." Xu Da asked curiously, "Isn't it Sunday these two days? You have to work too? " Li Rui nodded and said, "This is the disadvantage of being the leader's secretary. When the leader works overtime, you have to work overtime too." Xu Da thought for a while and said, "Then we'll drink at night. You don't have to work at night. Haha."
Li Rui was speechless. But his heart was not without joy. He felt that it was rare to have a brother who understood him.
The two of them tidied up the empty beer bottles and rubbish on the ground and sealed them in boxes. Then they each took a box and went down the pagoda. Environmental awareness was a must.
When Li Rui drove out of the pagoda courtyard, Xu Da looked at the door that he kicked and asked, "Which department is in charge of this ancient pagoda?" Li Rui said, "The City's Cultural Relics Office." Xu Da said, "This pagoda is not bad. It should be well protected. "Li Rui said," Indeed, it should be protected. But this kind of cultural relic has almost no value in development. It also doesn't have much practical significance. So the Cultural Relics Office is too lazy to spend money to protect it. "Xu Da asked again," Do you know anyone in the Cultural Relics Office? " Xu Da said, "I'll withdraw some money in the morning. Help me pass it to her and tell her what I want. Firstly, I'm sorry that I broke the door. Ask them to help me repair it. Secondly, use the rest of the money to buy some protective equipment to protect the ancient pagoda."
Li Rui could not believe his ears. A super agent who could drink when he sat down and kill when he stood up actually had the leisure to protect cultural relics? He really had to hand it to him. He stared at him and said, "Well said, well said."
After rushing to the city, the two of them found a place to have breakfast. Then Li Rui drove home. He planned to change his clothes and go to the Qingyang Hotel to look for the boss, Song Chaoyang, to work overtime. Yesterday's clothes were already dirty from climbing the pagoda and sleeping on the ground.
Xu Da also followed the car to the Li residence. This was also his first time visiting Li Rui's home. Then, he also met his sister-in-law, Lu Qingman for the first time.
"Hello, sister-in-law!"
Xu Da was only a little crazy after drinking. But normally, he was calm and gentle. Just like last night when he was talking to Lu Qingman while drinking, he even dared to joke around. But now that he saw her, he was extremely respectful. Of course, he did not say anything unnecessary and did not do anything rude.
It was also Lu Qingman's first time meeting him. She saw that his height and appearance were very ordinary. Not to mention that he did not look like the son of a deputy governor, she could not find any trace of a national secret service member. She was secretly amazed. But seeing that he was calm and polite, she was relieved that her husband was dating him. She smiled and said, "Hello, sit down and talk. I'll make you some tea."
Xu Da hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law. I just ate breakfast. I'm not thirsty." He then said to Li Rui, "Go change your clothes. Don't worry about me. I won't be polite, hehe."
Li Rui also knew that with the current relationship between the two of them, there was no need for him to be courteous. He said, "Alright, then take a seat. I'll go take a shower and change my clothes. Qingman, help me entertain them."
Lu Qingman gave Xu Da a seat on the sofa and asked with a smile, "Where did you guys drink last night? What pagoda? I was puzzled when I woke up this morning. How did you guys go to a pagoda to drink? "Xu Da smiled and said," It's an ancient pagoda in the east of the city. The scenery is pretty good, so we ran over there. "Lu Qingman asked again," Then where did you guys stay? " Xu Da smiled and said, "On the pagoda. Both of us drank too much. Then we lay down on the top of the pagoda and fell asleep."
Lu Qingman was taken aback. Her small mouth opened wide. She had an incredulous expression.
Li Rui finished showering and changed his clothes. He was preparing to go to work when Xu Da also said goodbye. Lu Qingman walked the two of them downstairs.
Before they parted, Li Rui asked, "Brother, where are you going now?" Xu Da said, "I'll go to the military division to return the Warrior first. Then, I'll go back to the city to find a place to stay. I'll stay here for a few days and tour the mountains and play with the water. It can be considered as relaxing." Li Rui said, "I'll arrange a place for you to stay. Do you want to stay in a star hotel or a guesthouse under the jurisdiction of the Municipal Government?" Xu Da didn't stand on ceremony with him and said, "Anything. Whichever is convenient."
Li Rui smiled and nodded. He watched as Xu Da drove away. At this time, Lao Zhou drove the first car to pick them up. Li Rui gestured to him to wait for a while. He walked over to Lu Qingman and sighed, "Honey, this brother of ours is going to stay in the city for a few more days. It sounds like he wants to drink with me every day." Lu Qingman was shocked again. Her mouth was wide open and she couldn't close it. Li Rui said, "He's feeling down because of his failure at work. He wants to drink with me to pass the time. Please understand. Anyway, I'm going all out." Lu Qingman asked, "Then you won't be coming back for the next few days?" Li Rui rubbed his nose gloomily and said, "Who knows? I'll try my best. You don't know. In fact, I don't like to drink either. Whoever drinks too much knows what it's like … "
He only told Lu Qingman about Xu Da. He didn't tell her about the divination. The divination said that she would have a miscarriage. If he really told her about it, she would either be angry or ridiculed for being superstitious. She might even ask about the divination. Therefore, he didn't tell her about it. He just solemnly reminded her to be careful in the future. For example, he had to be careful when walking. He also told her not to be too tired. In short, she should try her best to protect the baby and not have a miscarriage.
Lu Qingman didn't suspect anything. She nodded and remembered it in her heart.
Fifteen minutes later, when Li Rui saw Song Chaoyang, the big boss was drinking Chinese medicine. He was a little hesitant. He looked at the black medicine soup in the cup. Li Rui could smell the strong smell of Chinese medicine from afar. Not to mention drinking it, even smelling it for a while would make him feel disgusted. He hurriedly advised, "Boss, you should drink it quickly. The more you look at it, the more you don't want to drink it. Just close your eyes, hold your breath, and drink it all in two big mouthfuls. "
Song Chaoyang laughed twice, as if saying that it was easy for him to say that. After hesitating for a long time, he finally mustered up the courage to drink the medicine in the cup. After drinking it, he first took a few deep breaths, followed by a cold breath. It was as if he had just drunk a big bowl of poison. Li Rui looked at him from the side. He couldn't help but find it funny. However, he didn't dare to laugh out loud. He could only turn his head away.
Song Chaoyang got up and rinsed his mouth. When he came back, he said, "I'll go to Mayor Li's cultural exhibition in the morning. I'll see how it goes in the afternoon. I didn't feel much when I had a nosebleed yesterday. After coming back, I feel a little weak. If you really can't do it, you can rest for two days during the weekend and not work overtime. You can do your best to ensure that you can work normally on weekdays. "
Li Rui nodded. He thought that he had promised Chen Lihan to treat her to a meal on the weekend. However, he had to work during the day and drink with Xu Da at night. Where would he find time to treat her? Sigh, there was no solution.
When the car arrived at the Qingyang Science and Technology Exhibition Center, Li Rui had already told Song Chaoyang the general content of the cultural exhibition. However, he didn't mention the sex exhibition. Although that event was new and fashionable, it was a little vulgar. There was no need to let him know.
Song Chaoyang praised, "Li Jing, this female deputy mayor is very capable. She single-handedly carried this exhibition. She is a capable person. Xiao Rui, you have to learn from her. "
Li Rui nodded and agreed. He got out of the car and opened the door for him. Then, the master and servant followed the crowd into the plaza and went straight to the main entrance. As for the driver, Lao Zhou, he went to park the car.
The plaza and the main entrance of the exhibition center were crowded with people. It was bustling and chaotic. Hundreds of public security officers, auxiliary police officers, and security guards were maintaining order. Li Rui protected Song Chaoyang and squeezed through the main entrance with difficulty.
Song Chaoyang said loudly to Li Rui, "It seems that this cultural exhibition is very popular with the citizens."
