Guan Weiwei shook his head and said, "I want to be friends with them, but they have to respect us too. Although I'm the boss of the city's traffic police and seem to have a lot of power, that's only relative to ordinary people. To the richest man in the city, I'm nothing. They don't have any dealings with me at all. To put it bluntly, it's because I don't have enough power. If I were like your godbrother and had the power of the entire district, then they would respect us … "
As they chatted along the way, the two cars soon arrived in front of the Red Pavilion KTV. Li Rui was slightly surprised. He didn't expect Guan Weiwei to come here for a drink. However, since he was here, there was nothing to be afraid of. Although he had a conflict with the owner of the Red Pavilion, Zhen Jie, they had already become friends. There was no need to feel conflicted about it.
The car drove from the side door of the Red Pavilion to the backyard and finally stopped in front of the clubhouse. The four brothers got off the car and walked to the door together. Li Rui had only taken a few steps when he suddenly received a call. He took out his phone and saw that it was Du Minsheng calling. His heart skipped a beat. He let Guan Weiwei and the other two go in first while he went to a secluded corner to answer the call.
Du Minsheng almost never called Li Rui personally, so Li Rui felt very strange when he received the call. He also felt a little nervous.
"Xiao Rui, I heard from Qingman that you guys are going to the provincial capital tomorrow. Help me get some 'Tiger Bone Waist Straightening Stickers' from Jiren Tang …"
Du Minsheng didn't have much to do with this call. He just wanted Li Rui to help him get some plasters.
Li Rui was shocked and said, "Uncle, is your waist not feeling well?" Du Minsheng said, "Yes, my waist hurts after sitting for a long time. It's an old problem, but it's not a big problem." Li Rui said, "Will the plasters work? I have a Chinese medicine friend who happens to be in Qingyang these days. Why don't I ask him to take a look at you tomorrow? He and his sister just took a look at Teacher Sun a few days ago. Let him take a look at your lumbar and prescribe medicine according to your body condition. It's better than a few plasters with fixed prescriptions … "
After the call, Li Rui called Xie Duzhong and told him about it. Xie Duzhong had not left this week. He stayed at Shengjing Hotel and looked for opportunities to interact with Song Xiuxiu all day long. He did not care about anything else. It was quite like he was "blinded by love". Li Rui didn't have time to see him either, so he didn't know how his relationship with Song Xiuxiu had progressed.
After the call was connected, Li Rui briefly explained his intention. Xie Duzhong readily agreed, but also said that he didn't have the herbs and tools on hand, so he could only write a prescription for Du Minsheng. Of course, if Du Minsheng wasn't in a hurry, he could wait for a while. When he returned to Huangzhou, he could see if he could directly make the prescription or make it into a plaster.
Li Rui made an appointment with him to take him to Du Minsheng's house the next morning. Then, he hung up the phone and walked to the door. At this time, a luxury car came quickly from the direction of the courtyard entrance. It came to an abrupt stop in front of the clubhouse. The driver's door opened and a beauty in a dress came out.
The beauty parked the car in front of the building, so Li Rui could see her at first glance. After looking at her, he recognized that this beauty was the owner of the Red House, Zhen Jie. Last time they met, Zhen Jie had left a good impression on him. Her beautiful appearance and elegant manners were remarkable. But tonight, Zhen Jie was a little embarrassed. Her hair was messy, her face was ugly, and she looked embarrassed. He didn't know what she had just experienced.
After getting out of the car, Zhen Jie slammed the door as if she was venting her anger on the door. Then, she walked quickly to the door and bumped into Li Rui who was walking over. She didn't expect to meet Li Rui here. The moment she saw him, she was stunned and stopped.
Li Rui walked in front of her and looked at her embarrassed appearance. He was secretly amused but didn't dare to laugh. He asked seriously, "Boss Zhen, what's wrong with you?" Zhen Jie was stunned and asked, "What's wrong with me?" After saying that, she came to her senses and her face became embarrassed. She raised her hand to smooth her hair and tidied her dress. She smiled and said, "Nothing … Uh, Director Li, what a coincidence. I didn't expect to meet you here."
Now that he was closer, Li Rui also noticed that other than Zhen Jie's hair and dress being messy, there was a palm mark on her left cheek. It seemed that she had just been hit. He was secretly shocked. She was the owner of the Red House, the number one person in the city, and a charming beauty. How dare someone hit her? Who was the other party? It couldn't be an ordinary person.
Zhen Jie saw that Li Rui didn't say anything and only stared at her left cheek. She quickly understood and lowered her head. She awkwardly used her hand to cover her left cheek. Her temperament also dropped.
Li Rui saw her reaction and realized that his gaze was impolite. He hurriedly said, "Ah … Yes, what a coincidence. I just arrived and came to drink with my friends. I didn't expect to meet Boss Zhen." Zhen Jie raised her head and smiled at him and said, "Which room are you in? I'll go toast you later." Li Rui waved his hand and said, "Boss Zhen, you don't have to be polite. We'll leave after drinking two cups. You should first … first go back and rest." Zhen Jie didn't force him and said, "Okay, thank you Director Li. Let's chat another day."
Li Rui smiled at her and turned to walk into the building.
Zhen Jie looked at his back. Her face kept changing. After a while, she lowered her head and walked in.
Li Rui went in to find Guan Weiwei and the other two. He asked for drinks and chatted while drinking. They were still talking about Li Ming. The brothers reminisced about Li Ming's past glory. When they talked about his present and future, they sighed endlessly.
When they drank until 9: 30, someone knocked on the door. The four brothers turned their head to look. They saw the door open and a beautiful woman walked in. Behind her was a waitress holding a tray. On the tray was a bottle of wine.
The beautiful woman smiled as she walked into the room and said, "Leaders, sorry to disturb you. This little girl took the liberty to come over and toast to you leaders." As she spoke, her beautiful eyes swept over the four of them. Finally, she focused on Li Rui's face and smiled sweetly at him.
Li Rui was surprised to see her. Didn't this beautiful woman say that they would meet another day? Why did she suddenly run over?
The beautiful woman was none other than the owner of this place, Zhen Jie.
Li Rui smiled and nodded to her. He saw that she had changed her clothes from the dress to the current black shirt and white pants. It was less sexy and more dignified. However, it didn't affect her beauty. Instead, it made her more elegant. She also touched up her makeup. Her face was red and white. The previous palm mark had been covered. If you didn't look carefully, you couldn't see it.
Guan Weiwei saw Zhen Jie's arrival. He was surprised and happy. He laughed and stood up to greet her, "Boss Zhen, we haven't seen each other for a long time. What are you busy with recently?"
Zhen Jie smiled and said, "Nothing. I eat, drink, and play in the Red Restaurant every day. Captain Guan hasn't come to take care of the business for a long time. I also said that Leader Guan hasn't come for a while. I miss him a little."
Guan Weiwei was amused by her and continued to tease her, "Who are you talking to? Why don't I know? If I know that you miss me, I will come to see you even if I don't go to work. Haha. "
Zhen Jie laughed and said, "Come on. You have so many beautiful women around you. Not to mention others, the beautiful women in the office of your detachment are not worse than me. They are all younger than me. How can you fall in love with an old woman like me? Don't joke."
She said a few words to Guan Weiwei and went inside. She shook hands with Cheng Songhua and asked him to help introduce Ceng Hanlin.
Li Rui saw the details of this scene from the side. He didn't think that Zhen Jie and Guan Weiwei had a deep friendship, but her friendship with Cheng Songhua was just average. These people were all people in society, and they were the best at putting on a show. Sometimes, it looked like the two of them were very close, but in reality, they were just friends on the surface and didn't have a deep relationship. Now that Zhen Jie and Cheng Songhua were very polite, it didn't mean that the two of them didn't have any friendship. Maybe the two of them were very close in private, but on the surface, they were just ordinary friends.
On this point, Li Rui had the most right to speak. He had a close relationship with Yuan Jingjing, right? They were so close that they couldn't be any closer. But in the eyes of outsiders, the two of them were very cold, almost like enemies. This was actually done on purpose for outsiders to see.
After Zhen Jie and Ceng Hanlin were introduced, she went to Li Rui and shook hands with him. She smiled and said, "Director Li, I will pour you a glass of wine. I hope you can come and sit here often in the future."
Li Rui held her smooth little hand and shook it gently. He smiled and said, "Boss Zhen, you are too polite."
At this time, the waitress had put the tray in her hand on the table. She opened the wine bottle and handed it to Zhen Jie with both hands. Zhen Jie took it and poured a glass for Li Rui and the other three. Then she put the bottle back on the table. It was equivalent to giving a bottle of wine to the four of them.
Guan Weiwei smiled and said, "Boss Zhen is still as generous as before. But if you give us another bottle, we brothers will be drunk. I don't care about the others, but if I drink too much, I won't be able to leave. What do you think we should do then?"
Zhen Jie smiled and said, "It's fine if you can't leave. You can stay here. Don't worry, I won't chase you away. "
Guan Weiwei teased her, "Just not chasing me away won't do. You still have to accompany me and whisper to me."
Zhen Jie wasn't angry when she heard that. She said, "Sure. If you really don't want to leave, then I will accompany you and chat to your heart's content. I will talk to you about whatever you want to hear."
Guan Weiwei laughed when he heard that. His face was full of joy. It was as if he had taken advantage of Zhen Jie.
