Li Rui interrupted, "I can understand why your sister is treating Mr. Sun, but what about you? Don't you have nothing to do? "Xie Duzhong laughed," I … I have nothing to do, so I'm helping my sister. " Li Rui heard his insincere words and laughed, "Oh, I thought you stayed because of Xiuxiu. I wanted to find time to introduce her to you, but since you don't want to mention it, then forget it." Xie Duzhong was shocked and quickly said, "Aiya, don't … don't forget it brother, my … my sister is sitting beside us."
Li Rui laughed, "What's there to be embarrassed about in front of your sister? It's not like she doesn't know. "Xie Duzhong only laughed. Li Rui stopped laughing and said in a low voice, "You really don't mind Xiuxiu's past?" Xie Duzhong said shyly, "Uh … I'll tell you later." Li Rui said, "I'm at work now, you can't keep calling me." Xie Duzhong said, "Then I'll text you." Li Rui said, "Okay, we'll talk later."
After hanging up the phone, Li Rui's image of Song Xiuxiu and Xie Duzhong appeared in his mind. The man was handsome, the woman was pretty, and their personalities were similar. He felt that the two of them were quite compatible. If the two of them could become husband and wife, it would be considered a good fate. But the problem was that Song Xiuxiu had an unbearable past. Could Xie Duzhong really ignore this point?
He suddenly remembered Xie Duzhong's request and quickly called Sun Shuqin, asking her to send the housekeeper, Sister Zhao, to the Municipal Party Committee's entrance to bring the Xie siblings in. Otherwise, the armed police at the entrance would not let them in.
After the call, someone walked in. Li Rui looked up and was shocked. Why did this rare guest suddenly come to visit?
The person who came in was the Municipal Government's Deputy Mayor, Tang Weisheng. Tang Weisheng was in his early fifties. He was not tall, slightly plump, had a short crew cut, a chubby face, thick eyebrows, and small but very eye-catching eyes. He looked simple and honest. At first glance, he looked like an honest uncle next door. This deputy mayor was in charge of housing construction, city management, transportation, construction, civil defense, and other aspects of the work. He was usually very low-key, but to what extent was he low-key? In the entire Municipal Government, there was almost no presence of this deputy mayor. Even the lowest ranking deputy mayor, Li Jing, was more famous than him.
Li Rui had never dealt with this deputy mayor. As far as he could remember, ever since his boss, Song Chaoyang, came to Qingyang City as the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, this deputy mayor had never visited him or been summoned by him. In Li Rui's official career, there was almost no impression of this deputy mayor. It was as if he did not exist in the Qingyang officialdom at all.
Because of this, Li Rui was very surprised to see him suddenly visit. It was as if the sun had risen from the west.
After Tang Sheng entered the house, he saw Li Rui looking at him and nodded at him in a friendly manner.
Li Rui came back to his senses and quickly stood up to greet him. "Good morning, Mayor Tang."
Tang Weisheng said good morning and asked, "Is the secretary at home? I have something to report to him. "
Li Rui said, "Okay, please wait a moment. I'll go see if the secretary is busy." After that, he walked to the door and gently knocked. After waiting for five seconds, he pushed the door open and entered.
Song Chaoyang had just put down the phone. Seeing him enter the house, he asked pleasantly, "What's the matter?" Li Rui walked to his side and whispered, "Mayor Tang Sheng from the Municipal Government is here to visit. He said he has something to report to you." Song Chaoyang was startled when he heard Tang Sheng's name. He frowned as if he was searching his memory for information about Tang Sheng. After a while, he said, "Let him in."
Li Rui turned around and walked out of the house to invite Tang Sheng in. Song Chaoyang had already stood up to greet him. He smiled and shook hands with Tang Sheng. After greeting him, he invited him to take a seat and asked Li Rui to make tea.
Li Rui saw that the index and middle fingers of Tang Sheng's left hand had turned yellow from the smoke. He poured a cup of strong tea for him and brought it to him. Then, he turned around and left the house.
Before he could sit down at the table, he saw Secretary General Du Minsheng come in with a schedule. He probably wanted to confirm the work schedule for the week with Song Chaoyang. He hurried forward and said, "Secretary General, Mayor Tang is inside. He just went in."
Du Minsheng was puzzled. He asked, "What is he doing here?" Li Rui whispered, "He said he had something to report to the secretary. I didn't hear him." Du Minsheng handed him the schedule and said, "After Mayor Tang leaves, help me confirm it with the secretary. After you confirm it, come to me. I'll go back first." Li Rui agreed and walked him to the door.
After about fifteen minutes, Song Chaoyang saw Tang Sheng out. Li Rui stood up to accompany him.
When Song Chaoyang returned to the house, Li Rui took the schedule and went in to confirm it with him.
Song Chaoyang sat back in his chair and put the schedule on the table. He did not look at it for the time being. With a strange smile on his face, he said, "Xiao Rui, guess what Mayor Tang said to me just now?"
Li Rui smiled bitterly and said, "How could I guess? If I had good hearing, I would have heard what Mayor Tang said just now. "
Song Chaoyang smiled and said, "He is in charge of the Bureau of Housing and Urban-Rural Development. Last Thursday, the Bureau Chief of Housing and Urban-Rural Development reported something to him. He said that the boss of the Construction Group, Han Shui …"
Li Rui's ears jumped when he heard this. He said involuntarily, "Han Shui? It has something to do with Han Shui? "
Song Chaoyang nodded and continued, "Let me finish … Han Shui said that the Construction Group, as a local enterprise in Qingyang City, is brave enough to bear social responsibility and has a civic spirit, will continue to increase its support for the city's construction this year. The Construction Group is willing to fork out 100 million to install LED landscape light strips with night view and lighting functions on 15 main roads in the city. Moreover, the electricity and maintenance costs of these landscape lights in the future will all be borne by the Construction Group. The city doesn't need to invest a single cent. "
Li Rui could not believe his ears. Han Shui? One hundred million for nothing? Supporting the construction of the city's night scenery for nothing but civic spirit and social responsibility? Is this for real? Can Han Shui have such a high level of awareness? Is he so noble? He asked, "Then he doesn't have any requests? For example, the city can sell him a few pieces of land at a lower price? "
Song Chaoyang shook his head and said, "No requests. It's purely a support and donation!"
Li Rui said, "But I don't believe he's that kind."
Song Chaoyang smiled and said, "Of course he's not that kind. He's actually doing this to clear his name and improve his reputation. At the same time, he's also doing soft advertising for the Construction Group. Think about it, once this big project is completed, who will the citizens praise? They'll definitely praise Han Shui for his good deeds. In the future, when people go out for a walk at night and see the fancy landscape lights, they'll definitely praise Han Shui and his Construction Group. This kind of reputation from the people is something you can't earn no matter how much advertising money you spend. In addition, the city will definitely thank Han Shui for his righteous support and more or less take care of his business in the future. In the short term, Han Shui's one hundred million was wasted. But in the long term, he'll earn billions. This Han Shui is really something. I've underestimated him! "
Li Rui gasped and muttered, "He's so smart. No wonder he can get to where he is today!"
Song Chaoyang said, "After Han Shui had this idea, he went to the City's Bureau of Housing and Urban-Rural Development to explain and apply. After all, the Bureau of Housing and Urban-Rural Development is responsible for the management of the city's night lighting system. The Bureau of Housing and Urban-Rural Development didn't dare to make the decision, so he went to the Deputy Mayor, Tang Heisheng, to report. Tang Heisheng also felt that this was a serious matter and didn't dare to act on his own, so he went to the Acting Mayor, Yu Heping, to report. Yu Heping agreed after hearing it, but he was worried that I wouldn't agree, so he asked Tang Heisheng to come to me. That's why he came to me just now. "
Li Rui hurriedly asked, "Then did you agree?"
Song Chaoyang said, "I agreed. No matter what, this is a good thing. Even if Han Shui is selfish, it'll still improve the city's overall environment and improve the quality and comfort of the citizens' nightlife. "
Li Rui frowned and said, "But if the city really allows Han Shui to do this, he'll have the halo of a 'caring entrepreneur' on his head, or even a 'red hat'. Then, if he commits any crimes in the future, the city won't be able to do anything to him. Ah … I understand. Han Shui's idea has a deeper meaning. He wants to get himself a 'red hat' as a shield. If he really causes any trouble in the future, the city won't be able to do anything to him. They'll have to at least give him some face. "
Song Chaoyang sneered and said, "There's a difference between good and evil. A person's kindness can't cover up his sins, and a person's sins can't be made up for by his good deeds in the past. If Han Shui is wholeheartedly doing good, then it'll be fine. If he really continues to commit crimes, then he'll be punished accordingly. He won't be able to use the 'good deeds' he deliberately created to avoid future punishment. " Speaking of this, he paused and ordered, "Xiao Rui, secretly watch him for me. This person has been a little active recently. I think he has been dormant since last year's forced demolition and death. Now that things are calm, he has come out again to show off his power."
Li Rui agreed, but he felt a little troubled. He was always at work and at home every day. How could he have the time and energy to keep an eye on a reclusive big boss like Han Shui? Did he really have to make friends with Han Zhifei, develop a spy, and enter Han Shui's inner circle to achieve his goal?
When he returned to his work desk, Xie Duzhong sent him a message. It said, "I fell in love with Xiuxiu at first sight. I feel that she's the kind of wife I want. I also sympathize with her and want to pity her from the bottom of my heart. If she's a good person, I don't mind her past. But don't tell my sister. She might not be able to accept her past. "
