Li Rui frowned and thought for a while, then said, "Forget it, I'll bring you in and let the secretary and Teacher Sun choose. If they are not satisfied, then we'll talk about something else." Wang Xin said, "Okay, okay, thank you Director Li." Li Rui waved his hand and said, "Don't say that, we're old friends, no need to be so polite."
After the two finished talking, they called the two nannies and brought them in front of Song Chaoyang and Sun Shuqin.
Song Chaoyang already knew about this from Li Rui. Seeing Wang Xin enter the room, he stood up and said gently, "Director Wang, sorry to trouble you again."
Wang Xin was flattered and said, "Secretary, please don't say that. Serving the leaders is the job of the staff of the Agency Affairs Bureau. Everything is what we should do. If you have any requests or needs, just let us know, no need to be polite."
Song Chaoyang smiled and nodded, then turned to look at the two nannies.
After greeting Sun Shuqin, Wang Xin introduced the two nannies to Song Zhaoyang, including their names, birthplaces, specialties, and so on. In just a few words, he explained everything clearly.
During the introduction, Li Rui secretly glanced at Sun Shuqin to see if she was satisfied with the two nannies. He found that after looking at the two nannies' appearance, her expression was a little hesitant, as if she was "disgusted" by the two nannies' appearance. He thought to himself, "Oh no, this won't be easy."
Sure enough, after a while, Song Chaoyang turned to look at Sun Shuqin, asking for her opinion with his eyes. Sun Shuqin smiled and said to Wang Xin, "Director Wang, these two are very outstanding. I don't know who to choose at the moment. How about this, you bring them back first, and we'll think about it."
Although she wasn't the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, she was the wife of the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. Her power was even greater than that of the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. At least for now, Wang Xin didn't dare to disobey. He smiled and said, "Okay, Teacher Sun. We'll go back first and wait for your news. Goodbye." After that, he bade farewell to Song Chaoyang and left with the two nannies.
Li Rui pretended to send him off, but when they reached the entrance of the courtyard, he pulled him back and said in a low voice, "Chief Wang, go back and pick another nanny. As long as she is hardworking, it doesn't matter if her looks are a little different."
Wang Xin understood what he meant. He could only choose a nanny who was "less good-looking". Sighing inwardly, he agreed and left with the car.
At night, the members of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee's Family Compound, as well as the leaders of the Municipal People's Congress and the Municipal People's Political Consultative Conference, all came to the third building to visit Sun Shuqin, who was discharged from the hospital. For a moment, the house was so crowded that there wasn't even room to stand in the living room.
Li Rui had heard from Song Chaoyang in private that Sun Shuqin's cancer was only mentioned to Acting Mayor Yu Heping due to work requirements. Other than that, no other leaders in the city were told. Of course, the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Du Minsheng, was excluded. As Song Chaoyang's personal secretary, Du Minsheng knew about everything other than Song Chaoyang's extremely private matters. However, he was a tight-lipped person and wouldn't reveal Song Chaoyang's situation to outsiders most of the time.
But tonight, not only did Yu Heping and Du Minsheng come with their wives, but other leaders, including the Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Xiao Dawei, Executive Deputy Mayor Jia Yulong, and the Chairman of the Municipal People's Political Consultative Conference, Zhang Keli, all brought their wives to visit Sun Shuqin. This only proved once again that there were no secrets in the bureaucracy.
Song Chaoyang didn't want to pursue this matter. After all, they came to visit with good intentions. He and Sun Shuqin could only thank them, but couldn't pursue where they got the news.
With so many leaders visiting at the same time, Li Rui was exhausted. There was no nanny at home for the time being, so he had to take care of the guests as a secretary. First, he kept asking the guests to sit down, then he hurriedly made tea and poured water. In the end, he used up all the water cups at home and had no choice but to use disposable paper cups. He was so busy that he felt dizzy.
The leaders visited Sun Shuqin one after another and comforted her to rest well. Then, their wives took out consolation money and stuffed it into Sun Shuqin's hands. This was human nature, so Sun Shuqin accepted it after thanking them verbally.
Among the leaders, the only one who didn't bring his wife was the Municipal Party Committee's Publicity Minister, Zheng Zijuan — as a woman, she couldn't have a wife. She was the first to visit, held Sun Shuqin's hand, talked for a long time, and was the last to leave. It seemed that she and Sun Shuqin were very close. Li Rui saw this and almost thought that Zheng Zijuan and Sun Shuqin had been good friends for many years. He couldn't believe that it was the first time they met.
When Zheng Zijuan left, it was already 8: 30 PM. When they returned to the building, Song Chaoyang told Li Rui to go home and rest early. Li Rui said goodbye to the couple, took his bag, and walked out.
Just as he was outside, a car stopped. Li Rui recognized the license plate. It was Wang Xin's Passat. His heart skipped a beat. Could it be that this big brother changed the nanny overnight?
Sure enough, Wang Xin got out of the car and greeted a woman who got out of the car at the back door. Then, they walked towards Li Rui.
Li Rui walked forward and exclaimed, "Chief Wang, it can't be. You haven't gotten off work yet?"
Wang Xin walked in front of him with a tired smile and said, "There is no small matter around the leader. If I don't solve the nanny problem for the Secretary, I won't be able to sleep well after work. After all, Teacher Sun's condition is special. It will be awkward if there is no one to take care of her. The sooner we get the nanny, the more assured the Secretary will be, right? "
Li Ruixin secretly praised this Chief Wang. This Chief Wang really knew how to do things and was very good at his job. If he was the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, he would also like such a considerate subordinate. Just wait and see, this Chief Wang is not far from being promoted. He turned to look at the nanny. She was about 36 or 37 years old. Her appearance was average. She looked simple and honest. She was neither thin nor fat. No man would be interested in her. He nodded and said, "Okay, let's go, Chief Wang. I'll take you to see the Secretary."
He led Wang Xin and the nanny back to the building. He first explained to Song Chaoyang, "Secretary, Chief Wang is afraid that no one will take care of Teacher Sun at night. So, as a last-minute emergency, he arranged for a big sister to come over and take care of Teacher Sun's daily needs. If you and Teacher Sun have any opinions or requests, we'll talk about it."
Wang Xin saw that Song Chaoyang was helping him and was very grateful. He secretly remembered this favor.
Song Chaoyang nodded. When he saw the nanny's appearance, he chuckled and turned to Sun Shuqin. "Shuqin, you're the one to make the decision."
Sun Shuqin said strangely, "Chief Wang, didn't you already bring two nannies over this afternoon for us to choose from? I already liked one of them. Why did you bring another one? Didn't I say that I would consider it and give you a reply? You didn't wait for my reply and brought another one. What are you thinking? "
When these words were said, Li Rui and Wang Xin were both surprised and embarrassed. Wang Xin looked at Li Rui suspiciously, while Li Rui looked at Sun Shuqin in disbelief. He thought to himself, Teacher Sun, what kind of joke is this? You clearly thought that the two nannies in the afternoon were too pretty, so you didn't keep any of them. Why are you saying this now? Are you kidding me? Are you trying to make me act smart? F * * k, can we not be like this?
Sun Shuqin quickly gave him more surprises. She continued, "However, since you've already brought them over, it's not good for me to let you bring them back in the middle of the night. In that case, let them stay. We'll use them for a few days first. Sorry to trouble you, Chief Wang. "
Li Rui heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that. He also understood that Sun Shuqin's words were meant for Song Chaoyang to hear. She wanted to tell him that his wife didn't "judge people by their appearance". She had already chosen one of the two beautiful women. Unfortunately, before he could tell Wang Xin, he brought a new nanny over. She didn't want him to make a wasted trip, so she could only keep the new nanny. To put it bluntly, this Teacher Sun was taking the opportunity to act. He was both amused and surprised. When did she become so cunning?
Song Chaoyang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He said to Wang Xin, "Then let's keep this big sister. Help us introduce …"
Before Wang Xin returned home, he sent Li Rui back. On the way back, he smiled bitterly and said, "I was really scared to death just now. I was still thinking that it was over. I misunderstood the leader's intentions and made a big mistake. Not only did I fail, but I even had to suffer. Sigh, luckily it was just a false alarm. Otherwise, it would have been awkward."
Li Rui smiled and said, "I also almost thought that I was acting smart. Luckily, luckily."
Wang Xin whispered, "Secretary's wife is a little … a little hard to fathom. I have to be careful when I see her in the future."
Li Rui couldn't help but laugh when he heard his exaggeration. He thought to himself, Teacher Sun is hard to fathom? You haven't seen a truly hard to fathom woman, right?
The next day, it was Friday again. This was also the first time Li Rui went to the Municipal Party Committee's courtyard to pick up Song Chaoyang for work. In the past, they always went to the Qingyang Hotel. Now that there was a sudden change of location, he was really not used to it.
The car stopped at the roadside next to Building No. 3. After Li Rui got out of the car, he looked around and saw a car parked not far away in front of Zheng Zijuan's house. Ji Xiaojia had just gotten out of the car. She was probably here to pick up Zheng Zijuan for work. Seeing her looking over, Li Rui waved at her.
It was unknown if Ji Xiaojia didn't recognize him or if she didn't expect to meet him here. After staring at him, she was stunned and didn't move for a long time.
Li Rui looked at her standing there like a block of wood and found it funny. He ignored her and walked into Building No. 3.
