Li Rui's heart skipped a beat when he heard that. He secretly added a task to himself, which was to find a way to get a picture of Su Yun when he was old and bring it back for Huang Xinghua to see. This way, he wouldn't be unable to recognize Su Yun when he met him in the afterlife. Of course, this was just a form of self-consolation. There was no such thing as the afterlife in this world, let alone a dead soul.
After sending Huang Xinghua back to his room, Li Rui gained some free time. Without delay, he walked to the Municipal Party Committee. Although Song Chaoyang had arranged for him to accompany Huang Xinghua for the whole day, he still wanted to pay attention to the work of the Municipal Party Committee and Song Chaoyang's activities. This could be said to be a habit, but it could also be said to be a responsibility.
When he saw Li Rui, Song Chaoyang was a little puzzled. He asked, "Didn't I ask you to accompany Elder Huang for the check-up? Why did you come back?" Li Rui explained, "All the tests have been completed, and most of the results are out. Now, we're still waiting for the results of the two most important tests. I'm free for the time being, so I came back to see what work you have here. " Song Chaoyang was very satisfied with his sense of responsibility. He nodded, but said, "The most important thing now is to ensure Elder Huang's health and even his life! I don't need to explain how important Elder Huang is to Qingyang. "
Song Chaoyang said, "I know, but there is no problem with the investment. Mr. Huang has called an investment consultant from the family group in Malaysia. The two of them will discuss an investment plan and will be finalized in the near future." Song Chaoyang was surprised and happy. He murmured, "This is the only good news in recent days. Now, we have to pay more attention to Elder Huang's health. Hmm, how about this? Once the final results of the two tests are out, report to me immediately. If Elder Huang unfortunately has lung cancer, we will mobilize the best medical resources in the city and even the province to treat him. "
Li Rui nodded and asked about another important matter, "How's the traffic accident on the Beijing-Hong Kong Expressway?" Song Chaoyang said, "In the morning, Mayor Jia hosted a press conference. Governor Lu went to Nanhe County to visit the injured before returning to the provincial capital. The State Council's Office of Safety Accident Supervision and Management sent a notice asking us to report the details of the accident as soon as possible. The Municipal Government held an emergency teleconference this morning, asking the Municipal Government and relevant departments to strengthen the supervision and management of traffic and production safety in the country … Sigh, it's basically the same old routine. There's nothing new."
Li Rui asked cautiously, "Then … what happened to the perpetrator of the accident, Secretary-General Wen's son, Wen Xiaolong?" Song Chaoyang said, "Of course he's fine. Secretary-General Wen found a scapegoat for him, and all the responsibility and punishment will be thrown to the scapegoat. "
Li Rui had already guessed this possibility beforehand, so he wasn't surprised when he heard this. He just felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. Nineteen fresh lives had suddenly passed away, and the real culprit was still at large without any punishment. How could he pacify the resentment of those nineteen wronged souls? What was even more frightening was that the perpetrator would probably become worse in the future. He would disobey the traffic rules even more and do whatever he wanted, and that would lead to more innocent people paying the price for his willfulness. Sigh, just thinking about it made him angry.
However, he could only be angry. He didn't have any thoughts of fighting for justice or telling the truth to the public. Only a small portion of the injustices in this world could be eradicated by him. As for the majority of them, he simply could not eradicate them, nor could he eradicate them. If he really tried to eradicate them, not only would he not be able to help, he would also implicate himself and his family. Even if he had been the governor for half a son, he still didn't dare to challenge this unspoken rule.
To give an example, he was like a child. If he saw a puppy bullying a kitten, he could still shout at the puppy to stop. But if he saw a killer shooting a passerby, he could only keep quiet. Once he opened his mouth, he would also be shot.
Song Chaoyang was also a little angry about this. He sighed and said, "I also want to uphold justice, but I'm in the bureaucracy. As a subordinate, I can't do what I want."
Li Rui deeply agreed. If he dared to tell the world that the real perpetrator was Wen Xiaolong, he would immediately suffer from Wen Tianlong's cruel revenge. Wen Tianlong would be able to find his flaws in both public and private matters, and he would deal a fatal blow to him. But this was not the most frightening thing. The most frightening thing was that after this incident, all the provincial leaders, including the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Huang Xinnian, would know that Song Chaoyang was a person who could harm the children of the leaders in order to uphold justice. If he could harm the children of the leaders, then he would definitely be able to harm the leaders in the future. Who would dare to use such a person? In other words, Song Chaoyang would lose his future and might even be demoted. This was the terrible price to pay for challenging the unspoken rules.
He comforted Song Chaoyang, "Boss, you don't have the slightest bit of responsibility for this. First of all, this is the unspoken rule of today's society. Not to mention you, even the provincial leaders dare not challenge it. Moreover, catching the real culprit is the responsibility of the traffic police department. If they can't catch the culprit, it's their responsibility and has nothing to do with you. Finally, sigh, no matter who the culprit is, the innocent passengers who died can't be brought back to life. Moreover, for this kind of traffic accident, the culprit can't be directly shot to death. We can only give the families of the victims material compensation to the greatest extent and ask for peace of mind."
"That's right," Song Chaoyang said, "That's why we can only think of it this way — with a scapegoat to take the blame, plus the insurance company and Secretary General Wen privately coming up with a sum of money as compensation for the dead Hakkas, that should be enough. This is the best result that can be obtained under all kinds of complicated circumstances. "
The master and servant both sighed a few times, and the discussion about this matter was considered to have come to an end. Of course, the final result of this accident had been determined. The culprit was at large, and the families of the passengers who died and were injured received a sum of money. In a few days, this accident would disappear from the major news media, as if it had never happened.
Li Rui returned to his work desk in the outer room. Just as he sat down, he heard a crisp "ding" sound. A text message had come in on his personal phone. He took out his phone and was pleasantly surprised. The text message was from the great beauty Chen Lihan, whom he had not contacted for a long time. When he saw her name, he thought of her peerless beauty and felt a little excited. He hurriedly looked at the content of her message.
"What have you been busy with recently?"
It was a very casual and ordinary greeting, without much personal feelings, but Li Rui sensitively felt that Chen Lihan missed him. It seemed that he had not seen her for a long time, and she missed him a little. This also meant that he had a very deep impression in her heart. Thinking of this, he became more and more excited. He moved his fingers and replied, "I've been really busy recently. It's a long story. I didn't have time to contact you. What are you busy with?"
Chen Lihan quickly replied, "I'm planning to open a shop on Zhongshan Road. I haven't thought of what to sell yet, so I want to buy a shop first."
When Li Rui saw this text message, his brain moved. He did not know why, but he thought of Guanmiao Street, which was about to be developed by his boss, Song Chaoyang, as the second commercial street in Qingyang City. After thinking for a while, he casually called her.
Chen Lihan obviously did not expect him to call. She was a little surprised and whispered, "Aren't you busy now?" Li Rui laughed and said, "It's lunch break now. I don't have work. Besides, I'll hang up after saying a few words to you. It won't delay anything." Chen Lihan laughed and said, "What do you want to say?" Li Rui said, "You mentioned that you want to buy a shop on Zhongshan Road. I don't think it's appropriate. Zhongshan Road is an old commercial street in the city. Every inch of land is worth an inch of gold. If you want to buy a shop, you must invest a lot of money." Chen Lihan said, "Yes, but there's no other way. Zhongshan Road is the most popular street in the city. Although the investment is high, the returns are great and fast."
Li Rui laughed and said, "Zhongshan Road is the most popular now, but it may not be in the future." Chen Lihan asked curiously, "What do you mean?" Li Rui said, "This matter is a little complicated. I can't explain it clearly over the phone. How about this, at 8: 30 tonight, you go to your Shengjing Hotel's suit shop and wait for me. I'll tell you in person." Chen Lihan laughed and said, "It's not convenient to talk in my shop. How about this, let's meet at Shengjing Hotel's coffee shop. I'll wait for you and treat you to coffee." Li Rui was naturally happier when he heard this. He laughed and said, "Okay, then it's settled. See you there." Chen Lihan repeated, "Okay, see you there."
When Li Rui heard her words, he felt that her feelings for him had become somewhat passionate. He was also puzzled in his heart. What did he do to deserve the admiration of such a great beauty like her? But after calming down and thinking about it, he understood. For a married woman like her, her social circle was small. What she did every day was the same. Long ago, it was boring to the extreme. It just so happened that he, a man of the opposite sex who could be considered outstanding in all aspects, suddenly intruded into her life. Not only did he help her a lot, he also brought her a lot of novelty. Naturally, she would be curious and interested in him. And with the contact and association with him, this interest slowly turned into a good impression of him. This was a very natural thing. There was nothing strange about it.
There was a saying, "Love grows with time." It could be said that the truth was simple.
