The man took the envelope and glanced at it. He nodded gently to Wang Tiehui and said: "You don't have to be so courteous. Everyone is doing this for work. Hehe." He then looked at the three and said: "Then come with me." He then turned and walked into the building.
Li Rui looked at Wang Tiehui in amazement. He originally thought that this guy didn't have any skills and that he would have to rely on his quick-wittedness to get the old cadres to leave. Who knew that the person who did the best job was actually him. Although his methods were somewhat despicable, no matter what, he was able to get in touch with the arrogant bespectacled man. This was already a great achievement. His heart was filled with astonishment and admiration. He felt a sour taste in his mouth.
The three of them followed the bespectacled man inside and turned left. The bespectacled man opened the door to a room. The two cadres inside the room turned around to look. When they saw him, they called out: "Director Wei …"
Director Wei nodded and opened the door. He said to Wang Tiehui: "You guys go in. Have a good talk with the old comrades and try to get them to leave immediately." Wang Tiehui smiled and said: "Thank you, leader." He then gently pushed Li Rui.
Li Rui saw that Director Wei didn't take credit for himself and instead pushed him to the top. At first, he was very pleased with himself. After thinking about it, he realized that Director Wei might not have had good intentions. Although the three of them had already gotten through Director Wei, it was still a difficult task to persuade the old cadres to leave. Liu Guang's subordinates didn't follow them in. They couldn't use force. If they wanted to use their glib tongue to persuade these veteran cadres to leave, it would be harder than ascending to the heavens. However, no matter how difficult it was, since they were already here, they could only bite the bullet and walk in. He sighed and walked into the room.
Wang Tiehui and Liu Guang followed him in.
Director Wei gave his two subordinates a look. The two of them walked out and closed the door, leaving Li Rui and the others a relatively private space.
Li Rui and the others walked into the room and found three old men inside. They were all in their sixties or seventies. They were all different in height and weight. However, they didn't recognize any of them. The six of them stared at each other for a while.
Li Rui coughed and said, "Uh … three old comrades, my name is Li Rui. I was sent by the General Office of the Municipal Party Committee to pick you up …"
Li Rui smiled apologetically and said, "No, it was the secretary general who asked me to come." This old man was obviously not so easily fooled. He snorted angrily and said, "Secretary general? The Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee? Isn't he just a dog sent by the Provincial Party Committee to Secretary Song Chaoyang? "
Li Rui was furious when he heard this. This old man could insult him, but he could not insult the Secretary-General Du Minsheng whom he respected very much. Just as he was about to scold him back, the other two old men scolded, "What a dog!" "Why didn't Song Chaoyang come himself? Let him come and pick us up himself? The three of you, humph, don't deserve it! " "That's right. Who do you think you are? You don't deserve it. Let Song Chaoyang come and pick us up himself." "Oh, is it because he did something shameful and feels guilty, so he doesn't dare to face us?" "What else does Song Chaoyang know other than pranking people?" "He's simply starting a revolution in Qingyang City decades ago!"
Li Rui's face turned green and white when he heard this. As the saying goes, if the master is humiliated, the servant will die. These three old men kept insulting his boss Du Minsheng and his boss Song Chaoyang. He really wanted to pounce on them and give them ten slaps each. He would knock them out first before saying anything else. But the current situation was special. They were in the Provincial Party Committee's compound. How could he hit people casually? Did he think that this matter was not big enough and was not embarrassing enough? Moreover, they were old men. They were retired cadres of Qingyang City. Beating them up was equivalent to shouting and provoking all the retired cadres of the world. That would not be tolerated in the world.
He quickly thought about it and said, "Three old comrades, I don't know where your views and attitudes toward Song Shuji come from, but as far as I know, Song Shuji is not the kind of person you think he is …" The skinny old man waved his hand and shouted, "F * ck off! We know better than you what kind of person Song Chaoyang is. You are not a dog sent by Du Minsheng. Of course a dog will speak for its master. Hurry up and get lost. Go back and tell Song Chaoyang to come and pick us up himself. If we don't scold him to his face and vent our anger, we won't go anywhere tonight. When the sun rises tomorrow, we will continue to put up posters. If the Provincial Party Committee doesn't care about us, we will go to Beijing to put up posters, to Tian Nan Men, to Zhongnanhai … "
Li Rui was angry and bitter. He put his hand to his forehead and thought that this was what it meant when a scholar met a soldier. It was hard to reason with him. He secretly thought about a plan and turned to look at Wang Tiehui and Liu Guang. The two of them looked as if nothing had happened. He was even angrier.
Li Rui thought for a while and said, "Three old comrades, I am very curious. What is your demand for the posters?" The three old men fought to be the first to say, "Song Chaoyang is not a good person. When he came to Qingyang City, he only knew how to make trouble for people. He did not seek development or benefit for the people of Qingyang City." "That's right. When he came to Qingyang City, he did nothing but clean house. He took down those who were doing things and promoted those who were not doing anything. Isn't this f * cking nonsense?" "I used to be a leader and worked in Qingyang City for thirty to forty years. I have never seen such a shameless Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee."
Li Rui said gently, "You said that Song Shuji did not seek development or benefit for the people of Qingyang City. But as far as I know, after he came to Qingyang City, he took the initiative to do research and find ways to develop Qingyang City. You said that Song Shuji took down those who were doing things and promoted those who were not doing anything. However, he only took down corrupt officials. Up until now, he has not put anyone in power. The only new person who took power recently was the new Director of the Finance Bureau, Zhang Xuewen, who was unanimously approved by the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee. What does it have to do with him? You also said that Song Shuji was shameless. But he didn't do anything shameless, did he? Sun Xiaobao was unjustly murdered. His whole family ran to Qingyang Hotel and stopped the car to cry out for justice. Secretary Song personally intervened in this matter and helped Sun Xiaobao clear his name. Although this kind of spirit might not be as great as the Song Dynasty's Bao Zheng, Bao Qingtian, he could be considered one of the best among the secretaries of the Municipal Party Committee. I really don't understand where you got all this from. Did you see it yourself, or did you hear it from others? "
The three old men snorted, "You are Song Chaoyang's dog. Of course you have to speak up for him." "That's right. He knows what he has done. You can't clear his name with just a few words." "Why do you care how we got it? Since he dared to do Song Chaoyang, why would he be afraid of us talking about it?"
Li Rui saw that the three old men were stubborn and was secretly angry. His face darkened and he said, "I have already broken the truth to you. If you are stubborn and refuse to come to your senses, then don't blame us for not being polite to you."
The three old men's faces changed when they heard this. They were all furious and shouted, "What? Are you showing your true colors? Are you going to turn hostile and attack us? " "Not being polite? I have been a leader for thirty to forty years. When I was a leader, you were still in the arms of a woman. You dare to be rude to us? See how I will deal with you." "We dare to come here, so we are not afraid of any threats. If you want to use administrative coercion to threaten us, hehe, there is no way."
Li Rui snorted coldly and said, "Let's not talk about other things. You are listening to rumors, pointing a deer as a horse, and wantonly slandering Song Chaoyang. This constitutes the crime of slander and rumor. The relevant departments of Qingyang City have every reason to use coercion on you." The three old men were angry and shouted, "F * ck, let's see if you dare to attack us." "I will kick whoever dares to come forward!" "I am willing to be cut into pieces to drag Song Chaoyang down. Come on, if you dare to come forward, I will fight with you. "As they spoke, the three old men got into a fighting posture.
Li Rui saw this and was angry and amused. He was very depressed. These three old men were like copper beans that could not be steamed, boiled, or fried. They were stubborn and did not listen to a word. What should he do? Did he really have to forcibly take them out of the Provincial Party Committee's compound?
He turned his head and looked at Wang Tiehui. Wang Tiehui sighed and shook his head repeatedly. He did not look at him.
Li Rui then looked at Liu Guang. Liu Guang whispered, "Do you want me to call someone in?"
Li Rui shook his head. Unless there was no other way, he must not use force. He was representing Song Chaoyang and Du Minsheng. He must represent them to protect the face of the Qingyang Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government. After thinking carefully, his heart suddenly moved. These three old men, relying on their retirement, were not afraid of anything and came to the Provincial Party Committee's compound to do whatever they wanted. They were really "willing to be cut into pieces to drag the Emperor down". They were not afraid, but they still had children and grandchildren, right? If they did not think for themselves, would they not think for their children and grandchildren? Thinking of this, he smiled sinisterly and said, "Well, three seniors, if you insist on not returning to Qingyang City with us, we can't do anything about it. Then we will go back first … … "
Wang Tiehui was shocked and hurriedly pulled him and said, "Director Li, the Mayor has given me a death order. We must bring them back." Li Rui smiled bitterly and said, "They are stubborn, I can't do anything about it. We can only leave. I am not interested in spending the night here with them. " Wang Tiehui complained, "You can't not be interested. Since we are here, we have to bring them back." Li Rui sneered, "But they are not leaving. Do you have a better way to persuade them?" Wang Tiehui gritted his teeth and said to Liu Guang, "If there is no other way, we will go all out and use force."
