Li Ruixin's head jumped. He suddenly remembered what Zheng Zijuan said before. She said that if the reporter dared to do such a thing, he was either drunk, on the wrong medicine, or a liar. She didn't expect her words to come true. She said, "Then have you called the police? Hurry up and call the police to arrest him. He shouldn't have run far now, so they can still catch him. "
Li Jing said angrily, "I've already called the police, but I don't know if they can catch him." Li Rui thought for a while and asked, "That 100,000 yuan was paid by the Municipal Government, or by you?" Li Jing said, "It was paid by Sister Ding. It was all in cash. The money is a small matter. I can afford it myself. But this money was given by me. If it gets out, I … How can I face others? People will laugh at me. How can I be a deputy mayor with this kind of standard? Oh, I want to die. " Li Rui comforted her, "This is not your fault. You were thinking about the big picture. The other party took advantage of your unfamiliarity with the rules of the publicity system and succeeded in blackmailing you. You are the victim. Don't blame yourself …"
He persuaded Li Jing to calm down. Just as he hung up the phone, he saw Dong Jieyu running out of the hotel in a hurry. He couldn't help but laugh. He walked up a few steps and shouted, "Why are you running in and out?"
Dong Jieyu didn't expect to meet him here. After seeing him, she was stunned for a while. She looked around and saw that there were no outsiders. Then she walked up to him and asked, "What are you doing here?" Li Rui said, "I just came out of the hotel and received a call. I saw you driving over. Haven't you gotten off work yet?" Dong Jieyu said with a cute expression, "I got off work, but I left my phone in the office." Li Rui finally understood. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Our General Manager Dong has such a careless time?" Dong Jieyu rolled her eyes at him and said, "I've done what you asked me to do. I've already informed the labor camp. The labor camp will release her early. She will definitely be released by next week at the earliest, or by the week after that. "
When Li Rui asked her to do this, he didn't think much of it. But now that he heard that Liu Liping would be released soon and would appear in a parallel life with him, his heart was in turmoil. He secretly regretted it and began to blame himself for being too soft-hearted. After seeing Liu Liping's letter, he thought it would be fine if she followed the rules after she was released. But if she continued to target him and wanted to take revenge on him like she did before she was sent to the labor camp, then he would be too stupid. It was like a self-directed modern version of Mr. Dongguo and the Wolf.
Dong Jieyu looked at his expression and said jokingly, "Are you regretting it?" Li Rui smiled awkwardly and said, "What's there to regret? There was nothing to regret. This matter had to come to an end. If she doesn't change after she comes out, I can still send her back to the labor camp. Humph. "Dong Jieyu curled her lips and said," Are you going home? Get in the car when you get home. " Li Rui said, "No, I have to go drink with a friend. Also, there are many people around here. Don't let others see us being so close. Get in the car and leave. Drive slowly on your way back. I'll take a taxi."
Dong Jieyu looked at him with a complicated gaze. She turned around and returned to the car. She turned the car around and drove away.
Li Rui didn't dare to watch her leave. He didn't even look at her car. He walked to the side of the road to take a taxi. He didn't dare to show even the slightest bit of concern for her. He said to himself, "The furthest distance in the world is that I can't take your car back. Sigh!"
After getting into the taxi, Li Rui first called Xu Da to ask where he was. After he found out the location, he made an appointment at a restaurant to drink. He hung up the phone and asked the driver to rush over.
When he was almost there, Li Rui called Liu Liping's house. The call was picked up by his ex-father-in-law, Liu Shuchun.
Li Rui went straight to the point and said, "I've already asked a friend. He said that he can release Liping earlier …" Liu Shuchun was overjoyed and interrupted, "Really? That's great. Our family of three is always looking forward to Liping coming home. " Li Rui could hear the bitterness in his words. He thought for a while and said, "We can release her, but there's a condition." Liu Shuchun hurriedly asked, "What condition? Tell us, as long as we can do it, we'll agree. " Li Rui said, "Actually, it's not a condition. It's what you should do. That is, from now on, your Liu family can't come to my house to cause trouble. No one, no matter what. Our two families have nothing to do with each other anymore. "Liu Shuchun sighed," Yes, we were wrong in the past. I promise you, I promise … "
After the call, Li Rui saw the driver looking at him from time to time with a strange expression. He knew that his words had aroused the driver's curiosity and even suspicion. However, he was too lazy to explain anything to him. He turned his head away and thought about everything that had happened since he met Liu Liping. His heart was filled with mixed feelings and he felt very uncomfortable.
The restaurant he had arranged with Xu Da was a Sichuan-style chain restaurant called "Old Man Li". It specialized in spicy crab. The taste was excellent and it was a good place to eat crab and drink wine. When he arrived, Xu Da was already there. He had even ordered the wine and dishes and was waiting for him to sit down.
Li Rui smiled and said, "Did you wait too long?" After he sat down, he realized that Xu Da was smiling. Not only was he not sad and upset like before, but he was even in a better state than before. His heart skipped a beat. Has this little brother finally walked out from the shadow of being stripped of his position?
The two brothers drank a cup of beer first and sat down to eat the crab while chatting. Xu Da told him about his activities during the day. It turned out that he had indeed gone to the Bodhi Temple in the western suburbs to visit Fa Yu. Naturally, he had also done a divination. The divination was very accurate. He had even predicted that Fa Yu would have good luck and that he would be reinstated soon. He was very happy after hearing this and wanted to give Fa Yu fifty thousand dollars as a gift of divination and as thanks. However, Fa Yu refused to accept it.
Li Rui was very puzzled when he heard this and asked, "Why didn't he accept your money? That guy said he was a master, but I think he was just greedy. " Xu Da said, "He said that I was not an ordinary person at first glance. I was a dragon among men. Perhaps there would be a time when he would need my help in the future. Therefore, he did not accept my money and wanted to form a good relationship with me." Li Rui sighed and said, "Although this guy is very greedy, I have to say that his divination skills are amazing. I always suspect that he is not a human at all. Instead, he is a celestial being who came down from the heavens to enlighten mortals." Xu Da laughed and said, "This fat monk is very interesting. I plan to stay in Qingyang for a few more days. If I have nothing to do, I will go and find him. At the same time, I will see when I can be reinstated. Oh right, he wants me to tell you that you better introduce him to a boss as soon as possible. Otherwise, he will ask you to pay up. Haha … "
Li Rui did not know whether to laugh or cry. He thought to himself, who could he introduce to be cheated by him? If he introduced him to a boss, he would probably be criticized by the boss for being superstitious. If he introduced him to a friend, he would be cheating his friend. If he introduced him to a relative, he might as well forget about it. After thinking about it, he really did not know who to introduce to him. After thinking about it again, he decided to just withdraw 8,800 yuan and let Xu Da bring it to him. He was not short of money anyway, so it would save him a lot of trouble.
While the two of them were chatting and eating, Li Rui received a call from the Mayor of Dongzhou, Wu Nan. Wu Nan did not call him for anything else. Just like the last time, he wanted to tell him how much he missed him. This kind of call was not appropriate in front of Xu Da, so Li Rui excused himself from Xu Da and walked out of the restaurant to answer the call.
After chatting for about ten minutes on the phone, the two of them chatted happily and intimately. Then, Wu Nan made a small request. "Can you take a selfie with your phone and send it to me? When I miss you, I look at your picture. "Li Rui refused." No. "Wu Nan asked curiously," Ah? Why? "Li Rui said mischievously," If you keep looking at my picture, you won't miss me. "Wu Nan laughed and said," Bad Xiao Rui, how is that possible? The more I look at it, the more I will miss you. "Li Rui laughed and said," I'm just kidding. I'll take a picture and send it to you later. " Wu Nan said softly, "Yes, I miss you so much now. My mind is full of you, even my dreams are full of you. I've never missed a man so much before …"
Li Rui listened to her and had to face the wall. He arched his back and pulled in his stomach to avoid being found out. He said softly, "Okay, Sister Nan, stop talking. If you continue, I'll embarrass myself." Wu Nan was stunned and asked curiously, "Embarrass yourself? Why would you embarrass yourself? I'll say what I want and you listen to what you want. Why would you embarrass yourself? "Li Rui said," Your words are too hot. When I hear them, I have a reaction. "Wu Nan still didn't understand and asked," You have a reaction? What reaction? Are you having goosebumps? "Li Rui smiled bitterly and said," Aiya, no, it's a physiological reaction. Do you understand? " Wu Nan thought for a while before she understood and said awkwardly, "How can that be? I didn't do anything to you."
Li Rui said, "It's not necessary to do anything to get a reaction. Sometimes, it'll get a reaction from listening to words of love. Your words are more powerful than anything else." Wu Nan was embarrassed and said, "Then I won't say it. I don't want you to embarrass yourself." Li Rui said, "I'm outside now so it's not convenient. Another day when I'm not busy in the office, we'll text each other." Wu Nan said, "Okay. Alas, it's a pity that we're both so busy that we don't have time. Otherwise, we'll definitely meet up. Do you want to see me?" Li Rui smiled bitterly and said in his heart, "You just said that you don't want to continue such an intimate topic, but now you're saying, do you want me to die of embarrassment?" He said, "Yes!" Wu Nan said, "I want to see you too. I really miss the feeling of you hugging me the last time we parted ways …"
After finally finishing the phone call, Li Rui's face was already red and his neck was thick. Thinking back to how infatuated Wu Nan was on the phone, he couldn't believe that such a beautiful woman in her forties could express her love more passionately than young women like Xuefei and Jingjing. Luckily, it was just a phone call. If they were talking face to face, he probably wouldn't have been able to hold it in.
