"Let's wait a little longer. I'm sure he'll be here soon."
After Jia Yulong said this, he looked at the watch on his wrist unhappily and got into the car with a gloomy face.
Li Rui knew why he was unhappy. Ji Gang should have been the one waiting for him, the Executive Deputy Mayor, downstairs. But now, it was the other way around. He, the city leader, had to wait for a small deputy director like Ji Gang. Of course, he was unhappy. How could a leader wait for his subordinate? He was only angry because he was afraid of Ji Gang's boss, Yu Heping. If it had been someone with a bad temper, he would have lost his temper.
This time, the three of them rushed to the provincial capital in Jia Yulong's car. Now, Li Rui only saw Jia Yulong's driver in the car, but did not see his secretary. He guessed that Jia Yulong did not plan to bring his secretary to this training. Thinking about it, this training had five days a week. All of the time would be used to listen to lectures and study. Not to mention work, there would not even be time for social activities. What was the use of bringing a secretary?
One of them sat in the car while the other stood outside. After waiting for 15 minutes, Ji Gang still had not come down. Jia Yulong was impatient and ordered Li Rui, "Give him a call and tell him to hurry up. What is he doing? Doesn't he know that we are going to the training in the provincial capital today? Why didn't he prepare in advance? Now he is delayed for so long! What if he leaves too late and misses the registration? "
Li Rui thought to himself, You can only complain in front of me. He agreed, took out his phone, and called Ji Gang. Ji Gang picked up the call quickly and said, "I'll be down immediately. Please wait for a moment, Mayor Jia." He hung up.
Li Rui passed the message to Jia Yulong. Jia Yulong pursed his lips and said, "Immediately? I think it will be good if he can arrive in 10 minutes. This Ji Gang is putting on airs after becoming the deputy director of the general office. "
Li Rui didn't know what to say, so he pretended not to hear it. He turned around and looked at the door, but in his heart, he was thinking that he had a lot of time to go to the provincial capital for training, but he couldn't spend all of it on his little wife, Zixuan. He also had to find time to meet Zhang Zixiao. He owed her a lot. If he didn't show his intention to get close to her, even he would feel sorry. Also, if he had time, he would visit his mistress, Bai Bing. It was not easy for her to be alone in the provincial capital …
Just as his thoughts were running wild, his phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was Qing Man calling. He quickly picked it up.
"I'm back. Have you left?"
Qing Man's gentle and quiet voice sounded from the other end of the line. Of course, she had always spoken like this. She had the demeanor of a good wife. She was not as cold as Dong Jieyu, nor was she as hot-tempered as Little Chili Duan Xiao Qian, nor was she as crafty and arrogant as Gao Zixuan.
Li Rui said, "I'm leaving right away. I'm waiting for someone downstairs in the city. Don't worry, I've brought my clothes and everything else. I have good friends like Xu Da and Zixuan to take care of me in the provincial capital. Nothing will happen. On the other hand, when I'm not around, you must …"
After he finished the call, he heard Jia Yulong calling from the car. "Xiao Rui, come in for a chat." Li Rui turned to look at Jia Yulong. He saw Jia Yulong looking at him with a strange expression. He was very puzzled. He did not know what Jia Yulong wanted to talk to him about, but he still obediently opened the door and sat in the passenger seat.
Jia Yulong waited for him to sit down and asked, "Xiao Rui, I heard that you have a good relationship with Lu Qingman, the deputy director of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee."
Li Rui's heart trembled when he heard this. His first thought was that his relationship with Qing Man had been leaked, but this matter was extremely secretive. Even in the municipal committee, not many people knew about it, and those who knew about it were all close relatives, so they definitely wouldn't spread it out. But how did Jia Yulong know about it? This was really strange. Uh … Jia Yulong did not know about his relationship with Qingman. He only knew that they were close. Thinking about this, he sighed and said, "It's not exactly a good relationship. It's just okay. Mayor Jia, how did you know?"
Jia Yulong said, "Of course, someone told me. Xiao Rui, I have to remind you. In the future, even if you have a good relationship with someone, especially if that person is a female comrade, don't show it easily. Otherwise, it will easily lead to rumors. "
When Li Rui heard this, he suddenly remembered that at the City Leaders' Meeting, he was dissatisfied with Ji Xiaojia's flattery towards Qingman. Under Ji Xiaojia's urging, he went to declare his sovereignty. Maybe it was at that moment that he showed his close relationship with Qingman. It was seen by people with ulterior motives. As a result, after the meeting, it was widely spread. Even Jia Yulong knew about it. Damn, how could there be such a troublemaker in the officialdom? If you have the time, why don't you have a cup of tea? However, he was also grateful for Jia Yulong's reminder. He said solemnly, "Mayor Jia, thank you for your reminder. I will be careful. If you need me in the future, don't hesitate to ask. I am here to serve the City Leaders. You don't have to be so polite with me."
Jia Yulong laughed and said, "I really do need you. Let me tell you, I am not interested in this training at all. However, I can't skip class. I want Old Zhang to …"
When he said this, he raised his hand and pointed at the driver. When the driver heard him mention himself, he tilted his head and smiled at Li Rui. Li Rui also smiled back.
Jia Yulong continued, "… I plan to let Old Zhang participate in the training for me. Of course, I will be there for the registration this morning. After the registration, you and Ji Gang will bring Old Zhang to the class. During the training, help to keep an eye on him. Don't let the teacher know that I am not in person. As for myself, it is rare for me to have a break. I will take the opportunity to rest well. You don't have to worry about me meeting my friends from the Provincial Capital. "
Li Rui laughed when he heard this. He thought that there was no such thing as kindness in this world. He was too naive. He thought that Jia Yulong was being considerate of him. Who knew that Jia Yulong wanted his help? Alas, he was too scheming. It was tiring to deal with people like him. He said, "No problem. Just leave Master Zhang to me."
Jia Yulong ignored him after he said this. He looked at his watch and said, "Look, look. I told you, it is good enough that Ji Gang can come down in ten minutes. It is almost ten minutes and he is not here yet. Soon … Soon my ass! I am just giving face to the Mayor. If not, I will leave now and let him find a car to go to the Provincial Capital. Hmph. "
Li Rui turned to look at the building door. He saw Ji Gang rushing out with a suitcase. He smiled and said, "Director Ji is here." After that, he got out of the car.
He didn't want to welcome Ji Gang. He just wanted to use this opportunity to put the suitcase he had left outside into the trunk.
Ji Gang hurried over and nodded at him. Then, he went to the back window and smiled apologetically. "Mayor Jia, I'm really sorry to have kept you waiting." Jia Yulong waved his hand at him. "Hurry up and get in the car."
The two of them put their suitcases in the trunk and got into the car. Li Rui sat in the front passenger seat while Ji Gang accompanied Jia Yulong. The driver, Old Zhang, stepped on the accelerator and the trip to the Provincial Capital began.
After they got on the highway, Jia Yulong opened his mouth and asked Ji Gang, "I heard that the Mayor was injured yesterday?" Ji Gang nodded and said, "Yes, the Mayor went to the temple to burn incense. When he was coming back, he was trying to avoid a dump truck. His car flipped into a ditch. His shoulder was injured but it is not too serious. He insisted on working today." Jia Yulong curled his lips and said, "So the Grandma received the incense for nothing and did not bless the believers?" Ji Gang smiled and said, "The Mayor said that too. He said that if he knew something like this would happen, he would not have gone to burn incense. He also said that he will not burn incense for the Grandma in the future because it does not work. "
Jia Yulong laughed and said, "It is not that it does not work. He definitely did not ask the Grandma to bless him so that he would not get into an accident." Ji Gang could not answer this question and said, "I am not sure." Jia Yulong said, "I guess he would not ask the Grandma to bless him. He must have asked the Grandma to bless him with a prosperous career, promotion and wealth. Haha." Ji Gang laughed awkwardly and changed the topic, "Mayor Jia, you did not go to burn incense?" Jia Yulong said, "I do not believe in that. I have never gone to the West Mountain to burn incense. Isn't it fine now? There is no disaster and his career is not bad."
Ji Gang replied with a "yes" and praised him again.
Jia Yulong was beaming with joy after being patted by Li Rui. He repeated what he had just instructed Li Rui. Ji Gang agreed and made a promise.
They drove all the way and arrived at the Provincial Capital. It was 10 am.
The Provincial Government did not arrange the training at the Provincial Party School or the Provincial Government Guest House opposite. Instead, they arranged for the training to be held at the conference center of the five-star hotel, Tian Xiang International Hotel. But it was not surprising. Tian Xiang International Hotel was also one of the designated reception units for the Provincial Party School and Provincial Government. Many meetings were often held there.
The three of them rushed to the entrance of the conference center in the hotel and went to the Provincial Government Office staff waiting outside to check in. When they went to check in, they found out that the trainees from other cities, including Jingnan and other cities, had all arrived and checked in. They had already gone to the guest rooms to settle their luggage. All the trainees were to come to the training room at 10: 30 am, which was also the conference center. They would listen to the Provincial Government Secretary, Hui Zhengguang, who was in charge of organizing the training. After that, they would meet with the trainees to understand the class schedule. After that, the morning's schedule would end and the afternoon training would officially begin.
