Li Rui was also deeply moved. He thought to himself that at this time last year, he was still in the flood prevention office of the Municipal Water Conservancy Bureau and was bullied by his old boss Yuan Jingjing every day. Who would have thought that in less than a year, he would have such a good fortune? Now that he thought about it, it was like a dream. He hoped it was not a dream.
After returning to his office, Li Rui called Yang Peng and asked him to visit Deputy Director Tao Zhixin at the Municipal Government's Purchasing Management Department. After all, Yang Peng was still the director of the dry fruit and cereal processing factory. He was the most suitable person to do this personally.
After the two of them finished talking, Yang Peng started talking about the vegetable processing plant. "All the processing equipment has been installed and can work properly after testing. We haven't recruited enough manpower yet. We just recruited two, both women. They're now receiving training from the technicians sent by the equipment manufacturer. I estimate that they'll be done in another half a day. I estimate that by next Monday, the frame of the processing factory will be set up. "
Li Rui was very happy. This meant that he could hand over the processing factory to his girlfriend, Ou Yangxin, next Monday. He believed that Ou Yangxin would be very happy when she saw this sudden gift. He smiled. "You are really efficient. You have completed it so quickly. I need to ask the hotel owner to give you a high salary." Yang Peng sighed. "It doesn't matter if the salary is high or not. I don't care about money. I just feel that I have shown my ability in this process. It proves that I, Yang Peng, am not destined to be at the bottom of the food chain. I am very happy that I am able to live with dignity and strength." Li Rui praised. "It is good that you can think this way. Life is not about how much you earn or how high you can climb. It is about whether you can recognize yourself and admire yourself. If you can do this, it means that you have succeeded in life."
Yang Peng smiled and said, "I'm still far from succeeding. I still need to continue working hard. Of course, even if I succeed in the future, it's all thanks to your help …" Li Rui interrupted, "Aiya, f * ck your wife. If you say that, it won't be interesting. Do we still need to talk about this?" Yang Peng chuckled, "Then I won't be polite with you. Oh right, there's one more thing. Director Wang of the carving factory next door to our vegetable processing factory has been looking for me from time to time to ask when you are going to buy it. If this drags on, he will be hacked to death by the lenders." Li Rui said, "Alright, I'll do it as soon as possible. Tell him not to worry, it's only a matter of one or two days. I'll have Ding Yijing buy it on my behalf." Yang Peng was slightly surprised, "Ding Yijing?" Li Rui said, "Yes, I wanted her to go back to work in Qingyang City, but I had to find something for her to do, so I had to buy this engraving factory for her and let her be the director …"
After hanging up the phone, Li Rui called Ding Yijing to ask if she had resigned and when she could come back to take charge of the acquisition of the engraving factory. Ding Yijing gave him a little surprise, saying that she had resigned and would be back in Qingyang City this afternoon. She also wanted to meet him tonight.
Li Rui also wanted to meet her, but unfortunately, he had to visit Lu Ming at night and did not have much time. He told her to wait until tomorrow and gave her the money so that she could buy the engraving factory as soon as possible.
The short morning passed with all kinds of phone calls and trivial matters. After having lunch with Song Chaoyang, Li Rui rushed to the Municipal Public Security Bureau as he had agreed with him in the morning. He planned to meet with Deputy Director Ji Fei and tell him about the matter.
He carried a briefcase with him, which contained the silver medal and the name list. After meeting with Ji Fei, he would rush to the city's archeological team to show it to Fang Zhitong, hoping that she would be able to get a result.
Speaking of which, he would be busier during the short break at noon than when he went to work.
On the way, Li Rui called Ji Fei and arranged to meet him in his office. Ji Fei did not ask why he was there. It seemed that no matter what he was there for, he was very welcome. Of course, these two were already friends despite their age difference. Moreover, Ji Xiaojia was about to become Li Rui's godbrother. They would be a family in the future, so why should he ask?
When he arrived at the Municipal Public Security Bureau, Li Rui suddenly thought of Shen Yuanzhu. He thought about how he almost did something with her at Ji Xiaojia's wedding the day before yesterday. He was both excited and ashamed. He lamented that as the First Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, he couldn't control himself after getting drunk. He actually wanted to secretly flirt with someone in a public place like the wedding banquet hall. Not to mention what others would say, even he looked down on himself. But then again, after that experience, his relationship with Shen Yuanzhu had been confirmed. There was no point in hiding anymore. Alas, it was another ill-fated relationship.
A few minutes later, he met with Ji Fei. After Ji Fei invited him to sit down, he offered to make tea for him personally, but he politely declined. He did not waste any time and immediately explained the situation with Wan Jin.
After listening, Ji Fei pondered for a moment and nodded. "This matter is easy to handle. I'll just talk to the people in charge of this case in the Municipal Procuratorate and the court. If it's serious, we'll give a light sentence, and if it's light, we'll give a suspended sentence. We'll try to get a lighter sentence. This is not a big deal. Basically, those with power and influence who commit crimes will ask their friends for a lighter sentence. However, there is a key to Wan Jinyou's case. He extorted money from the city government for the cultural fair that Deputy Mayor Li Jing is in charge of. If he is given a light sentence, will Mayor Li be unhappy? "
Li Rui smiled. "You don't have to worry about Mayor Li, old brother. I'll talk to her. I won't hide it from you. My relationship with Mayor Li is not bad. She'll definitely give me some face. " Ji Fei clicked his tongue in praise. "Old brother, old brother. You have a lot of connections. Tell me, is there any leader in the city who doesn't have a good relationship with you?" Li Rui laughed and said, "If you say so, then I'll tell you. There really is a leader who doesn't like me. It's the new mayor of the government." Ji Fei raised his eyebrows and said in a low voice, "Oh? What's going on? "
Li Rui smiled. "It's a long story. Let me put it simply. Mayor Yu wanted me to work for him. I didn't agree, so he started to target me. So, in the future, whenever he's in a public place, old brother, you should stay away from me. Otherwise, he'll take his anger out on you. " Ji Fei saw that Li Rui was being honest with him and even reminded him. He sighed in his heart and patted Li Rui's knee. "I don't have any contact with him. He won't take his anger out on me. I'll retire in two years. If the bureau wants me, I'll continue to work. If they don't want me, I'll go home and take care of Xiao Jia and her husband's child.
I'll spend the rest of my life in peace. "Hearing this, Li Rui thought about Ji Xiaojia's husband, Wang Jie. He always felt that Ji Xiaojia marrying him was like inserting a flower into a pile of cow dung made of gold. It was not worth it. Thinking about this, he felt a little strange. He had never thought this way before. It was only when he saw Xiao Jia's beautiful wedding dress that he was shocked by her beauty that he started to feel that it was unfair for her. Si, did that mean that he was moved by Xiao Jia's beauty?
Seeing that they had finished talking about the important matters and that there were more important matters to attend to, Li Rui did not continue to sit around and said goodbye to Ji Fei.
Ji Fei sent him out. As he walked, he smiled and said, "Xiao Jia wants to become your adopted daughter. Yesterday, when she came home, she asked me for my opinion. Should she just become sworn brothers with you or your parents? I said, don't ask me. Ask Xiao Rui."
If Ji Xiaojia only became Li Rui's adopted daughter, she would only be related to Li Rui. When she called Li Rui's father, she would call him "Godfather" if she was willing. If she did not want to, she would call him "Uncle". However, if she also became Li Rui's father, she would not only have a godbrother like Li Rui, but she would also have a very official godfather. In the future, she would have to treat Li Jianmin as her godfather. These were two completely different ways of becoming sworn brothers. Ji Xiaojia did not know which one to choose, so she asked her father, Ji Fei, for advice.
Li Rui smiled. "It's better if you only become sworn brothers with me. I don't want to turn around and call you godfather."
Ji Fei laughed heartily. There was no dissatisfaction on his face. If Ji Xiaojia and Li Rui became sworn brothers this time, it would bring the relationship between the two families closer. However, if it was just the two of them becoming sworn brothers, it would only bring the relationship between the two families closer. On the surface, the former seemed better. However, as a father, Ji Fei wanted to see his daughter receive more care and support from Li Rui. Therefore, he was more inclined to the latter.
After going downstairs, Li Rui walked slowly to the entrance of the courtyard. He took out his phone and called Fang Zhitong to confirm if she was at work.
After the call connected, Fang Zhitong's surprised voice sounded from the other end. "Director … Li?" Li Rui knew why she was surprised. The two of them had not contacted each other for several months. It was natural for her to have such a reaction when he suddenly called her. He smiled and said, "It's me. Where are you now? Are you at work? "Fang Zhitong said blankly," Ah, yes, you … Why are you asking this? Do you want me to return the two hundred thousand? "
Previously, Fang Zhitong's father had violated the rules when he was running the Malatang business. He had a conflict with the enforcement officers and stabbed one of them. This matter was greatly mediated by Li Rui. He used a lot of connections and spent two hundred thousand to settle it. Originally, the Fang family's financial resources were not enough to take out two hundred thousand. It was Li Rui who kindly lent the money to Fang Zhitong to solve this problem. This girl probably felt that she owed Li Rui too much and was brooding. Therefore, when she received a call from Li Rui, she mistakenly thought that he was calling to collect the debt.
