Ding Yijing laughed, "I'm just playing with you. Can't I?" Li Rui said, "Sure, of course you can. I like it when you're being playful." Ding Yijing sighed and reminded him, "Be careful when you're purchasing. Don't let the other party cheat you. I'm going to resign here. I'll come back to find you when I'm done. But I'm not going back for the factory. I'm going back for you … "
Back in the office, Li Rui smiled and said to Director Wang, "Actually, I'm not the one who wants to buy your carving factory. I'm just an ordinary cadre and I don't have that much money. I'm asking on behalf of a friend. I just called my friend and told her about your situation here. She's willing to buy it. "
Director Wang naturally didn't care about who was buying it. He only cared about whether he could sell it or not. When he heard this, he was overjoyed. He stood up and said, "Okay, okay. Anything is fine. When will the paperwork be done?"
Li Rui said, "In two days. She'll see if it's convenient. She'll come back and do the paperwork with you. The money will also be transferred to you."
Director Wang was so happy that his eyelashes bloomed. He immediately said that he would treat Li Rui to dinner. After dinner, they would go to the district's largest bath center, "Little Hainan", for a bath and a massage.
Although Li Rui rarely went to bath and massage centers, he had heard of "Little Hainan" in the northern district of the city. It was said that when this bath center first opened, business was very bleak. The boss specially went to the southeast coastal city to learn. When he came back, he directly went to the northeast and got a bunch of prostitutes to engage in the sex business. No one knew how he made friends with the district's Public Security Bureau, so the local police turned a blind eye to it. As a result, in just two short years, "Little Hainan" had become the largest bathing center in the district. It was so popular that many bosses and even leaders in the district were frequent customers there.
Now, Director Wang invited Li Rui there for a bath and a massage. Her intention was clear.
Li Rui, of course, refused. With his status, how could he fool around in that kind of place? Even if he had needs in that area, which female confidante couldn't solve it? Yao Xuefei, Yuan Jingjing, Dong Jieyu, Ou Yangxin, and the other girls, which one of them wasn't a beauty? Which one of them wasn't a hundred or a thousand times more beautiful than the prostitutes in the bathing center? Therefore, when Director Wang invited him to "Little Hainan", he felt that it was no different from taking a bath in a cesspool.
After leaving the carving factory, Li Rui and Yang Peng, accompanied by the landlord, took a look at the vegetable processing factory in the southern courtyard. Li Rui was satisfied after reading it. He believed that Ou Yangxin would also be very happy after reading it.
After saying goodbye to the landlord, Li Rui and Yang Peng walked towards the Third Ring Road, intending to take a taxi back to the city.
Li Rui explained, "I will invest in buying the carving factory. But civil servants are not allowed to do business, so the carving factory cannot be under my name. Also, I can't let my wife know that I have so much money. Therefore, I plan to let Ding Yijing come back and help me manage the carving factory. In two days, Ding Yijing will be in charge of the acquisition process and management. I will not be involved. On the surface, I have nothing to do with the factory. You, on the other hand, will help Ding Yijing to acquire the factory. Pay attention and don't fall into Wang Peng's trap. "
Yang Peng laughed and scolded, "F * * k his wife. You are so good to Ding Yijing. You are even better than your wife!"
Li Rui smiled awkwardly. He did not say anything, but in his heart, he was thinking that he was even better to his wife. It couldn't be measured by money.
Coincidentally, the two of them had not eaten dinner yet. After taking a taxi back to the city, they casually found a small restaurant and ordered four bottles of beer. They ate and drank as they chatted.
After three rounds of drinks, Li Rui asked a very tacky and sensitive question, "How much is your monthly income now?" Yang Peng replied, "I only have the dried fruits and grains factory. How can I have a monthly income? A monthly salary of six thousand is considered high in Shuanghe County and even in the city. At the end of the year, there is still a bonus of ten to twenty thousand, so it should be around seven thousand a month. "
A monthly salary of seven thousand was not a lot, but it was not a little either. It might be enough for Yang Peng, but in Li Rui's eyes, it was a little too little. He pondered in his heart. Yang Peng was his old classmate and close friend. He was also a capable person that he had spent a lot of effort to cultivate. He was also his earliest and most loyal confidant. He should treat him better. While he was quickly reaching the peak of his life, he could not let Yang Peng fall too far behind. But now, he could easily spend seven to eight hundred thousand, or even two to three million, and it was for the women around him. However, under his guidance, this good friend of his could only earn eighty to eighty thousand a year. Comparing the two, he was really valuing women over friends.
He secretly calculated that after letting Yang Peng work as the director of Ou Yangxin's vegetable processing factory, he would be able to earn at least five thousand a month. Of course, Ou Yangxin might give him a higher salary because of his face, but he would calculate it at five thousand a year. This way, he would be able to earn an additional sixty thousand a year, which would add up to a total of one hundred and forty to fifty thousand a year. In Qingyang City, this was considered the top salary level, but it was still a little far from the salary level that he was satisfied with. No matter what, he had to let him earn at least two hundred thousand a year. It would not be in vain for him to work for him. He could also let others see that people who worked for him, the first secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, were treated extremely well.
So the problem was, where would he get an additional fifty thousand or so?
"Uh … I got it. In the second half of this year, the chemical company that Angie asked me to open will be opened. It will also generate revenue, but as the general manager of Qingyang Hotel, Jie Yu definitely won't have time to be in charge of this company. Just let Yang Peng be the manager, and he will be able to get an additional salary. However, in this way, he will be bound to completely leave the dry fruit and cereal processing factory, and it will be difficult for him to get a salary from the factory. It's equivalent to having an additional income, but also having one less income. No, no … "
When Li Rui thought of this, he had a headache. It seemed that when it came to money, it was not easy to deal with.
Yang Peng asked, "Why are you asking about my salary?" Li Rui looked at him and said, "I want to increase your income, but it seems that it's not easy to do at the moment." Yang Peng said curiously, "Increase my income? Is it still little now? I can earn eighty thousand a year at the dry fruit and cereal processing factory. Plus, as the director of this vegetable processing factory, my annual income should be at least thirty thousand. This adds up to one hundred and ten thousand, which is almost nine thousand a month. Now, where in the city can you find a high salary of nine thousand? I'm already the highest, and I'm very satisfied. Why do you still want to increase my income? I have enough money to spend. Why do I need so much money? "Li Rui smiled and said," Why? Buying a house, buying a car, buying a shop, there are many uses for it. "Yang Peng shook his head and said," Let's talk about something else … "
After dinner, the two said goodbye at the entrance of the restaurant and went back to their respective homes.
On the way back, Li Rui received a call from Wu Nan. This seemed to have become a habit. Every weekend night, whether it was Saturday or Sunday, Wu Nan would call him and tell him how much she missed him. The relationship between the two grew deeper and deeper with each phone call. Even though they only met a few times, the roots of their love were already deeply rooted.
Tonight, Wu Nan's feelings seemed to be on the verge of exploding. After greeting him, she hurriedly said, "I want to see you!" Li Rui smiled bitterly and said, "But we don't have time." Wu Nan said affectionately, "It's going to be the May Day holiday soon. We'll both have time. You can come to me, and I can come to you. Just tell me, whatever." Li Rui was shocked. He realized that she was serious, but he also wanted to see her. He said, "I'm afraid I don't have time. The first day is three days. I have to accompany the Song Shuji to visit the grassroots workers. The second day, I have to go back to the provincial capital with my wife. The third day, I have to go back to Qingyang City. My schedule is full, and I'm busier than usual on weekends." Wu Nan did not hesitate and said, "Then let's wait for the first weekend after May Day. Anyway, I want to see you. I miss you so much …"
After the phone call, Li Ruixin felt a little complicated. It was true that he liked Wu Nan, the beautiful and mature female mayor, but it needed to be emphasized that his love for her was greater than his desire for her body. In fact, he did not desire her body at all. However, the process of a relationship between a man and a woman was so unreasonable. Once they accepted each other spiritually, it would gradually develop into a physical relationship. Even if the person involved did not have the subjective consciousness, it would develop in that direction involuntarily. It was just like the saying, "You can't control yourself in the martial arts world." After Li Rui and Wu Nan had been in a spiritual relationship for a while, Wu Nan expressed her desire to see him. The deep meaning of this was something that any adult would understand. How could Li Rui not understand? Of course, Wu Nan did not necessarily want to have sex with him. However, after they met, it was very likely that something would happen when they were intimate with each other.
It was not that Li Rui could not accept having a more intimate relationship with Wu Nan, but subjectively, he did not want to have sex with her. He felt that it would be one step further on the road to being a Qingman. However, Wu Nan did not explicitly state that she wanted to do something with him this time, so he could not refuse. However, he guessed that this meeting was not so simple … He had concerns, guilt, and fear. These inner demons intertwined together, and his heart was in a mess.
He went back home in a gloomy mood. As soon as he entered the door, he bumped into his father, Li Jianmin.
"You came back just in time. Hurry up and leave!"
Li Jianmin saw him say such a strange sentence. After he finished speaking, he raised his hand and pointed downstairs, indicating that he should hurry up and go downstairs.
Li Rui was stunned. He did not know whether to laugh or cry. He thought to himself, "What is this? I just got home, and I haven't even put down my bag. Why should I hurry up and leave?" Hurry up and leave? Where should I go? And why should I hurry up? Could it be that there was something urgent?
