Next to him, Zhang Yimin did not have any expression. She just looked down at the floor as if she had nothing to do with it.
"… Even in the current era, our party is very concerned about the marriage of party members and cadres. We even put the marriage of cadres into the scope of investigation. If a cadre has major mistakes or flaws in their marriage, they will not be approved by the higher-ups. What does this mean? This means … "
Yu Sihuan was really a secretary. Once he opened his mouth, he could not stop talking. It was as if he had to speak until he reached the predetermined number of words. He talked for a few minutes and still had no intention of stopping.
In the end, Lu Zhouxing could not listen to him anymore. He smiled and raised his hand to stop him. "Old Secretary, old Secretary … Okay, okay, I understand what you mean. Okay, then I will help to persuade Yimin. But first, I can only help to persuade her. If Yimin does not listen, then there is nothing I can do."
Yu Sihuan stood up with the help of his cane and said, "Okay, with your words, I feel much more at ease. Hurry up and persuade her. I have already brought her here. I will leave for a while so that I won't affect your conversation." After that, he walked around the coffee table and walked to the door.
Zhang Yimin stood up to help him, but he raised his hand to stop her.
Yu Sihuan looked at her with a complicated expression and said, "Yimin, if you really want to be good to me, don't divorce Xiao Nan." After that, he sighed and walked out with the help of his cane.
There was also a living room upstairs. Li Rui and Yu Hongwei were sitting on the sofa and chatting. At first, they were talking about Lu Zhouxing and He Suli's marriage. Later, for some reason, the topic changed to Zhang Yimin downstairs.
"I only found out today that Deputy Director Zhang is actually the daughter-in-law of the old Secretary. No wonder she is a Deputy Director at such a young age. However, if she divorces the old Secretary's son, it's hard to say whether she will back down or not, but she can forget about being promoted in the future. Sigh, speaking of which, why did she want a divorce? If I were her and could marry the old Secretary's son and enjoy life for the rest of my life, I would rather die than get a divorce. "
Yu Hongwei seemed to have a bit of entertainment and gossip spirit. He usually hid it very well. Now that he was facing Li Rui, an old friend and a good friend, and the person involved was a great beauty, he couldn't hide his gossip spirit anymore. He began to pour out and express his opinion on Zhang Yiliu's future.
Li Rui was secretly amused when he heard that. He thought to himself, "If you really become Zhang Yiliu and get sold to another man by your husband, let's see if you can still say such things." He said, "Yu Sihuan, why did you ask my father, an outsider, to be a lobbyist for your family's private matters? He even called Zhang Yimiao over to listen in. What is he thinking? "
Yu Hongwei shook his head and said, "Who knows? Maybe he feels that the Governor's position is high and important. No matter what he says, Deputy Director Zhang can only listen. That's why he came to try …"
The two of them chatted for a while. Then, they heard the sound of high heels walking downstairs. It seemed that Zhang Yiliu had left. They got up and went downstairs to take a look.
In the living room downstairs, Lu Zhouxing was standing in the middle. He was looking in the direction of the door and shaking his head with a bitter smile. It was obvious that what had just happened gave him a bad feeling.
Li Rui walked to his side and deliberately complained, "Dad, why is Old Secretary Yu like this? Doesn't he know that this is a family scandal? He even came to you and asked you to help persuade him. Isn't this request too much? "
Lu Zhouxing smiled and said, "He is also desperate. He doesn't care about his face anymore. Unfortunately, I can't help him."
Li Rui heard what he said. He didn't persuade Zhang Yiliu just now. However, this was expected. Thinking about what Yu Nan did to Zhang Yiliu, it would be strange if Zhang Yiliu could forgive him. She was determined to get a divorce. No one could persuade her. Although Lu Zhouxing was her superior, he couldn't use an administrative order to stop her from getting a divorce. En, this was also the best result. He hoped that Yu Sihuan would give up and let Zhang Yiliu live the life she wanted.
Lu Zhouxing returned to the sofa and sat down. He picked up a cup of tea and sat down. Li Rui walked over and refilled his tea. He briefly reported to him about the recent important work in Qingyang City: attracting investment, preparing for the "VIP Club", urban construction, and poverty alleviation.
Lu Zhouxing was satisfied and said, "The overseas Chinese Old Mr. Huang's investment in Qingyang City is very important. If this year's investment can exceed half of the original amount, then Qingyang City's GDP will increase by five to eight billion. If I remember correctly, Qingyang City's GDP ranking in the province is only three to four billion away from the top. In other words, Qingyang City's GDP ranking may rise by one place. This is definitely a great achievement. "
Li Rui was very happy. He took the opportunity to talk about the province's construction of colleges and universities for Qingyang City. He also mentioned that the provincial Party Secretary, Huang Xinnian, had promised Huang Xinghua and the city that he would give the resources of key colleges and universities to Qingyang City. He asked Lu Zhouxing if there were any plans or progress in the province regarding this matter.
Lu Zhouxing shook his head and said, "Don't expect too much from this. Although Secretary Huang has promised you, it's very difficult to actually implement it. There's resistance from all sides." He then said, "Song Chaoyang is a departmental official. Can't he see through this? He can't be so naive when it comes to politics, right? "
Yu Hongwei interrupted, "That's right, Xiao Rui. On the surface, Secretary Huang is the most powerful person in the province. No one will disobey his words. But in reality, the ones who really control the various advantages and resources in the province are some of the influential people hiding behind the scenes. These influential people have woven a very wide and thick net of interests. Even a pornographic reporter can't break it. More importantly, Secretary Huang won't offend those bigwigs for the sake of a mere university branch. "
Li Rui was silent after hearing this. He originally wanted to ask his father-in-law, Lu Zhouxing, to help push this matter at the provincial Party Committee Standing Committee and work with Huang Xinnian. But now, it seemed that he was still too naive. He was as naive as a child. His boss, Song Chaoyang, was probably being lectured by Huang Xinnian right now.
After staying for another ten minutes, Li Rui saw Lu Zhouxing yawn and said goodbye. Lu Zhouxing asked him where he would be staying tonight. He said he would go to Song Chaoyang's house and return to Qingyang City the next morning. Lu Zhouxing didn't ask him to stay. He got up and sent his son-in-law out.
At the entrance of the courtyard, the father-in-law and son-in-law said goodbye. Li Rui walked to the roadside and came to the first car. His boss, Song Chaoyang, was already inside. He quickly opened the door and got in the car.
"How was it, Secretary? Did your meeting with Secretary Huang go smoothly?"
After getting into the car, Li Rui turned his head and asked Song Chaoyang with concern.
Song Chaoyang said with a bitter face, "Nothing else, but Secretary Huang told me not to be too optimistic about the construction of the college. I have to be content." Li Rui smiled bitterly and said, "That's what my father-in-law told me too." Song Chaoyang said, "Is that so? Haha, since the two leaders said so, it seems that we can only continue to welcome the Provincial Agricultural University into Qingyang City. " Li Rui complained, "Secretary Huang is really too much. If he can't do it, why did he promise us in the first place?"
Song Chaoyang said, "Secretary Huang did explain this to me. He said that the reason he made the promise was because he wanted to help and was willing to push this matter forward. Therefore, he used the promise to spread the news to the outside world. He only hoped that those with vested interests would give him some face and give up some of their benefits after hearing his words. On the other hand, if he didn't even make a promise, those with vested interests would see that his attitude wasn't firm and wouldn't take this matter seriously. To put it bluntly, Secretary Huang had already considered that there would be obstacles from all sides. He could only do his best and leave it to fate. "
The master and servant both sighed. Lao Zhou drove out of the courtyard and drove towards the Hebei District and Regiment Provincial Party Committee Family Quarters.
Not long after driving out of the courtyard, Li Rui received a message from Zhang Yimin. She asked, "Are you still there?" Li Rui replied, "Just came out. I can be free anytime." Zhang Yimin replied, "It's convenient for you to be at home. But it's so late. Why don't you go home with your leader?"
When Li Rui saw this message, he was both angry and amused. He really wanted to pull her over and spank her butt. Oh, I didn't tease you, but you took the initiative to tease me. I was teased by you, but you didn't let me go to your house. You dare to tease me? Fine, then I'll play with you. Let's see who can't afford to play with you. He smiled and replied, "Well, then I'll go home with my leader. Good night."
That's right. He and Zhang Yimin were playing "hard to get". He obviously wanted to "get" her, but he deliberately let her go and ignored her. He followed her wishes and canceled the date. He wanted to force her to confess her feelings and make her feel awkward.
Zhang Yimin didn't reply to this message. She didn't even send the most basic "good night". Li Rui could almost imagine her crazy look when she saw this message at home. He knew very well that she really wanted him to go to her house. However, she was cold and shy. She didn't want to say it directly. She wanted to welcome him but rejected him. She set a small difficulty for him. As long as he replied, "I'm not afraid of making a trip", she would logically say, "Then come over." However, she didn't expect that he also wanted to tease her, so it became awkward. Haha, let's see how this will end.
Reality quickly proved that Li Rui was the one who couldn't end the situation. He had already rushed to Song Chaoyang's house, but there was still no news from Zhang Yimin. She was cold and heartless. Li Rui knew that he had to talk to her. Otherwise, she might resent him.
Therefore, he greeted Song Chaoyang and said that he would make a call outside. After Song Chaoyang and Lao Zhou entered the courtyard, he ran to the open space outside the alley and called Zhang Yimin.
