The leader shook his head. "Of course not. When we climb over the wall, we'll bury the urn on the spot. When the people we're waiting for arrive tomorrow or the day after, one of you will stay behind and put my grandfather's urn back. Even though my grandfather wasn't very good to my grandfather and father, he's still my grandfather. Without him, there's no me. How can I bear to see his ashes scattered in the wilderness? "
After the plan was made, the two shadows took out tools from the canvas bag they had brought with them. Each of them took one and began to work. 'Ding! Ding! Bang! Bang!' In just a few moments they had pried open the tomb. The leader squatted down and swept away everything on the urn. Then, he took the urn out of the tomb. The shadow on the right raised his hand and took it. The three of them didn't stop. After packing up the tools, they went back the way they came and soon disappeared into the boundless darkness of the night …
At nine o 'clock the next morning, Li Rui followed the plan of Song Chaoyang, Yu Heping, and the other city leaders yesterday. He and Wang Weihua, the deputy secretary-general of the Municipal Party Committee, met up with the reception team led by acting mayor Yu Heping and prepared to welcome the Dong Xing International Hotel Management Group's inspection team who had come to Qingyang City for a second inspection.
Although Yu Heping had replaced the deputy mayor in charge of investment yesterday to personally accompany Zheng Yongyi and her team, he still called Han Song to his side today for some unknown reason.
When Han Song saw Li Rui and Wang Weihua, it was as if he was reminded of the last time he was fooled. He glanced at Li Rui coldly and turned away.
Yu Heping called Wang Weihua in front of him and said pleasantly, "Weihua, you're more familiar with Chief Zheng and the others. When they arrive later, you'll be in charge of introducing them to us."
Wang Weihua knew how to behave. He smiled and said, "Mayor, I'm not as important as Director Li in front of Chief Zheng. Director Li accompanied us last time. Chief Zheng has a good impression of Director Li as well. It'll be better if Director Li introduces you later. "
Yu Heping turned to look at Li Rui and said, "Is that so? Then let's wait and see." Although he didn't reject Wang Weihua's suggestion, his words implied that he had already rejected Wang Weihua's suggestion.
Li Rui did not mind it at all. He knew that the old fox had always disliked him, so naturally, he would not give him this opportunity to show his face. Furthermore, he did not need this opportunity to perform. As long as Zheng Yongyi could successfully complete the inspection, it did not matter if he was in the inspection team or not. It was laughable that the old fox thought that he could suppress him by doing this.
This time, in addition to local officials like Yu Heping and Qian Guangzhi, the bureau chief of the City Investment Promotion Agency, there were also representatives from a dozen selected companies, including Gao Jianping, the chairman of the City Construction Group, and Dong Jieyu, the general manager of the Qingyang Hotel. In total, there were 20 to 30 people. It was a rather spectacular sight. Li Rui estimated that if Zheng Yongyi saw so many welcoming staff, she wouldn't be very happy. She paid attention to work efficiency, not social interaction. Yu Heping obviously didn't understand this point. He organized such a huge welcoming team, but in the end, it was likely that he was asking for trouble.
After everyone had arrived, Yu Heping waved his hand and led the team downstairs to the square in the courtyard of the government building to wait for Zheng Yongyi's arrival. The Dongxing Hotel Management Group had sent a notice in advance that the inspection team would arrive around 9: 30 a.m. However, Yu Heping could not wait until 9: 30 a.m. Otherwise, it would be awkward if Zheng Yongyi arrived early. Therefore, he could take the opportunity to show his sincerity by waiting.
On the way downstairs, Li Rui knew that he was not liked by Yu Heping. Therefore, he did not want to be in front of the team. Instead, he purposely stayed at the back. He was even behind Ji Gang, the first secretary of the City Government. He was with Dong Jieyu and other company representatives.
He did not know these company representatives, but these big bosses all knew him, the first secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. Normally, they would not have the chance to make friends with him. When they saw that he was purposely staying at the back, they naturally gathered around him and greeted him.
Li Rui shook hands with these big bosses and got to know them. Soon, there were a dozen shiny business cards in his left hand. These business cards were priceless in Qingyang City, but in his eyes, they were worthless. Even though he pretended to keep them carefully in his briefcase, in his heart, he had already thrown them into the trash.
What he paid more attention to was Dong Jieyu, who was walking not far away from him.
Dong Jie Yu's outfit today could only be described as breathtaking. Her shiny black hair that usually draped over her shoulders was mostly tied up in a bun at the back of her head. Her bangs were parted in a 30-70 split from her right forehead to her left cheek, while the remaining 30% fell close to her temples, making her look fashionable and professional. She had a light foundation on her beautiful face and dark green eyeshadow under her beautiful eyes. Her eyelashes were long and curved, and her eyes were cold and her lips were tightly pursed. She wore a white shirt and a dark blue suit on the outside. Below her slender waist, she wore a dark blue one-step skirt that accentuated the curves of her waist and buttocks. Under the skirt, a pair of slender thighs with flesh-colored stockings could be seen. She was thin and sexy, and simply charming to death. On her feet, she wore a pair of black stilettos that were seven centimeters high. When she walked, she made a "click … click" sound, like the most beautiful sound of a zither that tugged at the heartstrings of all men.
Looking at this tall beauty who stood out among the men, Li Ruixin was both proud and itchy. He was proud because such a beautiful woman was his wife, but he was itchy because he really wanted to hug her, but he didn't have the courage. His cowardice was different from other men's. Other men didn't dare to hug her, but he didn't dare to. They were fundamentally different.
Dong Jieyu acted as if she didn't know him. When other bosses were trying to make friends with him, she just walked on her own. When she stopped at her destination, she didn't even look at him.
Li Rui knew that she was deliberately avoiding suspicion, but he was also tempted by her. He said in his heart that when he inspected Qingyang Hotel later, he must pull her to a place where no one was around and give her a good spanking. She didn't even look at her husband. What was she thinking? Was she rebelling?
Everyone waited for about 15 minutes before Zheng Yongyi and her group arrived. They were a little earlier than the scheduled 9: 30 pm. Yu Heping greeted Wang Weihua and immediately went to the front of the car to welcome them. Han Song, Ji Gang, and the other bosses also took a few steps forward to create a warm welcome scene and atmosphere.
Li Rui didn't move, but Dong Jieyu only took one step and stood beside him.
Li Rui smiled and said without looking at her, "Qingyang Hotel's strength is far inferior to a giant like the City Construction Group. It's also weaker than a few other companies. What do you think the probability of you being chosen as a partner by the Dongxing Group is?" Dong Jieyu said lightly. Li Rui was slightly surprised. He turned to look at her and said, "Really? Why did you … no … why did Qingyang Hotel get chosen? " Jieyu Dong said, "Based on the fact that it is an external reception unit of the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government. Based on the fact that the Municipal Government wants to invest in hotel assets through this platform, based on the fact that the bank will lend to it."
Li Rui was stunned, but her words made a lot of sense. He also remembered that she had told him not long ago that Qingyang Hotel wanted to invest in a five-star hotel with the Dongxing Group. It seemed that the Municipal Government had been playing a big game for a long time. He said in a low voice, "It seems that Qingyang Hotel will have a lot of development. I congratulate you in advance."
Dong Jieyu pursed her lips and looked at Zheng Yongyi who came out of the car and said, "Look, beauty!"
Li Rui heard her flirtatious words and couldn't help but laugh. When he was about to look at Zheng Yongyi, the phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated violently. He couldn't care less about the beauty and quickly took out his phone. When he saw that the number was from Jingnan, he was a little puzzled. He turned around and walked a few steps away from the crowd to answer the call.
"Hello, is this Mr. Li Rui? I'm the manager of the sales office of Bei Gangzi Cemetery. Mr. Li, do you still remember me?"
Li Rui remembered the male manager who always had a fake smile on his face and said, "I remember, of course I remember you. Hello, uh … why are you looking for me?" The manager said, "Mr. Li, something happened at Mr. Huang's cemetery. I'm not sure if you can take responsibility. If you can't take responsibility, can you help to contact Mr. Huang's family? For example, Miss Huang who went to the sales office with you last time? "Li Rui's ears twitched and said," What happened? " The manager said sadly and innocently, "Mr. Huang's cemetery was dug up last night and the urn was taken away. When the cemetery staff found it, they immediately …"
Li Rui heard the first half of the sentence and his head exploded. He didn't listen to the second half and cried out, "What did you say?"
He didn't speak softly and Dong Jieyu who was not far behind also heard him. She turned around and looked at him with a puzzled expression on her snow-white face.
On the phone, the male manager said anxiously, "I'm sorry, Mr. Li. We didn't want this to happen. We have been in the cemetery business for more than ten years and this has never happened before …" Li Rui interrupted his nonsense, "My brother's urn was taken away? Who did it? Did they catch the culprit? Did they find the urn? " The male manager said, "No, we didn't find the person who took the urn. We also didn't find the urn. But we have already organized people to look for it. If we really can't find it, we will call the police. The police should be able to find it. Please rest assured."
