The two of them studied for a while, and Xia Xue finally completely figured it out.
Li Rui saw that she understood, so he said goodbye. Xia Xue said, "Director Li, are you free next Friday night? Our city's art troupe is holding a singing and dancing evening in the city hall. I have a performance in it. Can you come over and support me? "Li Rui didn't know her intentions, so he stared at her for a while. Xia Xue gave him an even brighter smile. Li Rui said, "What time does it start and what time does it end? I'm afraid I don't have time to go. " Xia Xue said, "It officially starts at 7 pm. My performance is the finale. It will be after 8: 30 pm." Li Rui thought about it. The time was about right, but it was a bit forced. He said, "I'll try my best. If I have time, I'll go over and support you. Hehe." Xia Xue was very happy to hear this. She found her small bag and took out two tickets from it. She handed them to him and said, "These are internal tickets. You can take the tickets and go in directly." Li Rui took them and said, "Give me two." Xia Xue smiled and said, "You can invite your relatives and friends to come and see. Of course, I'd rather you come alone, hehe. "Li Rui glanced at her when he heard that. Xia Xue gave him a lovable smile.
Li Rui didn't know what she was thinking, but since she didn't say it, he wouldn't take the initiative to ask. He smiled and said, "Okay, I'll try to get someone to come over." Xia Xue was overjoyed and said, "Then I'll have to rehearse carefully. I'll try to show you my most beautiful self." Li Ruiqi said, "Show me your most beautiful self? What for? " Xia Xue smiled and said, "You're the leader of the Municipal Party Committee. I'll show you my most beautiful side in hopes of getting your encouragement and support." Li Rui smiled and said, "En, then I'll see you then." Xia Xue once again put on a gentle and ladylike appearance. She slightly lowered her head and said reservedly, "Then, Director Li, can I have your phone number? But don't worry, I won't call you casually. I know you're very busy, so I won't disturb you casually, hehe. "Li Rui smiled and entered his phone number into her phone. He joked," Won't disturb me casually? When will I harass you? "Xia Xue chuckled," I will harass you when you are willing to be harass by me. "
Li Rui saw that this girl was neither silly nor shrewd. She was charming, cute, and beautiful. He liked her a little, but he didn't want to tell her about his feelings for her. He thought that he would just let her develop her feelings freely. He didn't want to force anything. Everything was up to fate. He said goodbye to her with a smile and left her room.
After resting for a while, Li Rui came out of the room and found the representative of the Municipal Communist Youth League. He wanted to say goodbye to the host, Sang Pengfei, but he couldn't find him. He could only forget about it.
He went to the parking lot downstairs of the hotel and found that Zhang Hui was already in the driver's seat. Xu Jianqiang had also gotten into the car.
Li Rui opened the back door and sat in. He asked casually, "Minister Sang from the county said that he sent some local specialties. What are they?" Xu Jianqiang hurriedly said, "Aiya, Director, I almost forgot if you didn't ask. In addition to the local specialties that everyone has, Minister Sang also specially sent you a gift." Li Ruiqi said, "He sent me a gift?" Xu Jianqiang said, "You're not the only one who has it. We all have it, but Minister Sang specifically told us to put it aside for you. I separated it from the other local specialties. It's in the back seat. "
Li Rui turned his head to look. Sure enough, there was a red bag in the back seat. This bag was made of neither cloth nor linen. At first glance, it looked like a supermarket shopping bag. It was very inconspicuous. No wonder he didn't notice it at first glance. When he took it over, he found that the bag was quite heavy. He was surprised. He didn't know what was inside. He put the bag on his legs and opened it. When he looked carefully, he saw a red wooden box inside. No one knew what was inside the wooden box.
Li Rui guessed that the so-called gift inside must be more valuable than what Xu Jianqiang and Xu Jianqiang received. Otherwise, why would Sang Pengfei ask them to put it aside for him? He wanted to open the wooden box to see what was inside, but he was afraid that Zhang Hui and Xu Jianqiang would feel bad if they saw it. But if he didn't open it, what if Sang Pengfei gave him a valuable gift? If he openly took it home, wouldn't it be the same as accepting bribes? He thought about it and put his hands into the bag and opened the wooden box. After the wooden box was opened, an exquisite and gorgeous enamel box was revealed.
Seeing such a beautiful enamel box, Li Rui's eyes lit up. He couldn't help but take the box out of the wooden box and look at it carefully.
The box was 15 centimeters long, 6 to 7 centimeters high, and 10 centimeters wide. It was made into a miniature cabinet. The colors were gold, white, pink, light green, sky blue, and other colors. The front of the box was inlaid with a square classical clock. It was one inch square, and the clock was ticking. The four sides of the box were decorated with ancient China auspicious patterns made of silk. At first glance, it looked like the shape of a wooden window in ancient China. Other than the front side, the other three sides were inlaid with a round fantasy landscape painting. The top of the box was a full set of Western landscape paintings. The four pillars and eight corners of the box were sealed with golden enamel. It looked magnificent and luxurious.
The box wasn't big, but as a whole, it was magnificent, elegant, and beautiful. It was really a rare handicraft.
Li Rui had never seen such a beautiful and expensive enamel box. He didn't know what the box was used for. He gently opened the box and found that there was another mystery inside. There were three small compartments on the left, middle, and right side of the box. There was a mirror inside the box. After thinking about it, he understood that it should be a jewelry box or a makeup box. But what kind of jewelry or makeup could be worthy of such an expensive enamel box?
"Hiss … This thing must be very valuable. I can't take it!" Li Ruixin thought. He took out his phone and was about to call Sang Pengfei. But when he took out his phone, he remembered that he only gave him his phone number and didn't ask for his number. He hurriedly closed the enamel box and put it back into the wooden box. He picked up the bag and said to Zhang Hui and Xu Jianqiang, "You two wait for me. I have an urgent matter." After saying that, he opened the door and got out of the car.
Li Rui went back to the hotel and looked around. He didn't find Sang Pengfei. He guessed that after giving him this gift, he was afraid that he would return it to him. So, he left first and didn't give him a chance to return it. But, even if he left, he couldn't accept this gift. Such an expensive enamel box could be worth tens of thousands. How could he accept it? Once he accepted it, wouldn't it mean that he had accepted Sang Pengfei's benefits? In the future, if he came to the city and asked for help, should he help?
"This Sang Pengfei, how dare he play this trick on me. Hmph." Li Rui was angry and amused at the same time. He thought to himself, "Since I can't find him, I'll just look for his subordinates. Won't I be able to find him? So what if he ran away? I'll drag him back. "
Just as he was about to look for Sang Pengfei's subordinates, he saw a shadow in the corridor. He looked up and was surprised and happy. If it wasn't Sang Pengfei, who else could it be? He hurriedly walked up and said, "Director Sang, you made me look for you." When Sang Pengfei saw Director Li walking over with the red bag, he immediately understood his intentions. He chuckled and pulled Director Li to the stairwell beside the elevator. "Director Li, this is not a gift from me. I don't have that much money, either. Haha, this is a gift from the 400,000 people of Wulong County. You came all the way from the city to our Wulong County. You care for the healthy growth of our Wulong County's children. We are very touched. In order to express our gratitude, our Wulong County's Palace Enamel Art Factory has provided you with these pieces of enamel art. Please give them to us as a gift. Firstly, it's to express our gratitude for your volunteer work. Secondly, it's to give you a souvenir of your visit to our Wulong County. Thirdly, you are all city leaders and important people. You have a lot of connections in the city. Please help us advertise our Wulong County's enamel products to your friends. That's even better than advertising. Therefore, this small gift can be considered as a reward for your help in advertising. Hehe, that's why you should keep it. "
Hearing this, Li Rui felt dizzy. He didn't know which part of what Sang Pengfei said was true and which was false. He asked, "Wulong has a palace enamel art factory?" Sang Pengfei heard this and said, "Of course. Director Li, you might not know, but our Wulong County's enamel art has been used by the Qing Palace since the Qing Dynasty. The copper hot pot we make here was personally ordered by Empress Dowager Cixi. It's used to eat mutton. The jewelry boxes we make here are also the favorite of the Qing Dynasty's imperial concubines. " Li Rui sighed in admiration, "I didn't expect Wulong County's enamel art to have such a glorious and long history. Oh right, is this gift for each person? "Sang Pengfei nodded and said," One for each person. But to be honest, Director Li, this gift is the best gift we can give you. " Li Rui was relieved when he heard this. He said, "This is a jewelry box, right? How much is it on the market?" Sang Pengfei chuckled and said, "If we're talking about how much it's worth, it's not that much. It mainly depends on whether or not there's someone who knows the value of the goods. Oh right, Director Li, are you going back to the city? Ai, Director Li, I feel like old friends with you at first sight. I really want to make friends with you. Unfortunately, you're a Song Shuji's subordinate and have a lot of work to do. I can't ask you to stay for two more days. If there's a chance in the future, when I go to Qingyang for work, I'll ask you to stay for a while and listen to your teachings. "
