The crazy scene from last night was still vaguely in front of his eyes, and he was still hugging the soft and warm body in his arms. However, Li Rui didn't have time to reminisce about it because he had more important things to do. Today was Monday, and he had to report to work at the Second Secretary Department of the Municipal Party Committee.
He hurriedly put on his clothes and didn't even bother to wash up. After informing the two elders, he hurriedly rushed home. Just as he stepped out of the building, he bumped into Liu Liying who had just returned from buying breakfast.
Liu Liying looked at him with a faint smile and teased, "Yo, you're really energetic. You were up so late last night, but you're still able to wake up so early in the morning." Li Rui's face turned red. He thought that once this woman became experienced, she really dared to make any kind of joke. Liu Liying didn't even think about it. How could she make such jokes casually with her brother-in-law? Li Rui said, "No need, I still have to go home and change into clean clothes." Liu Liying pursed her lips and smiled, "You don't have to change. You look handsome in any clothes!" Li Rui smiled at her and rode away on his scooter.
Liu Liying stood there and looked at him for a while. After a long time, she sighed, shook her head, and walked into the building.
Li Rui bought breakfast on the way home. When he arrived home, he let his father, Li Jianmin, eat first. He ran to the bathroom to take a shower. After washing up, he changed into clean clothes and ate two buns to fill his stomach. Then he rode his scooter to the Municipal Party Committee building.
Last time, the Secretary-General said that he would personally bring Li Rui to see the head of the Second Secretary Department, Ji Gang. Now that Li Rui had officially come to work, it seemed that he should meet the Secretary-General first. However, he didn't have the guts to go there alone without being summoned by the Secretary-General. He thought that since he already knew the specific department, he might as well go there directly.
Li Rui went to the Second Secretary Department on the seventh floor. After asking around, he met with the Deputy Head of the Department, Chen Xiaohe. Chen Xiaohe was the one who had called him on the orders of the Secretary-General. As Ji Gang was the secretary of the Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, he didn't spend much time in the office. When he wasn't around, Chen Xiaohe would be in charge of the office. Strangely, Chen Xiaohe didn't know that he had been transferred to the department. He only pointed him to an empty seat and told him to sit down first and wait for Ji Gang to arrive before discussing the matter of joining the department.
Li Rui's luck was not bad. Less than 15 minutes after he sat down, Ji Gang rushed back.
This was a man about thirty-six or thirty-seven years old. He was thin, had a crew cut, and had a lot of white hair at the temples. He had a square face, long eyebrows, and thin eyes. He carried a large briefcase in his hand and walked very quickly. Almost as soon as he appeared at the door, he had already reached the innermost desk. With such a fast walking speed, most people would definitely overlook Li Rui, who was sitting quietly behind the table by the door, but he didn't.
He placed the briefcase on the table and walked back to Li Rui's side. He asked expressionlessly, "You're Li Rui, who came to report today?" Li Rui guessed that he was Ji Gang. He thought to himself that the Secretary-General must have only told this director that he had been transferred to the Second Secretary Department. Otherwise, how could Chen Xiaohe not know? He hurriedly stood up and said, "Yes, I am. Hello, you must be Director Ji?" Ji Gang said, "How do you know me?" Li Rui saw that he was being aggressive and didn't show any friendliness. He secretly felt a chill in his heart and smiled apologetically, "It feels like it." Ji Gang was unhappy and said in a lecturing tone, "From now on, if you want to work in the Second Secretary Department, I don't want to hear vague words like 'it feels like it' or 'it feels like it'. Also, don't come to work with your feelings. You have to be down-to-earth and careful with your words and actions. Remember this. "
Li Rui felt wronged. He didn't seem to have said anything, so why did he have to be criticized like this? Moreover, he only said four words and was criticized by him one by one. Was he trying to intimidate him, a newcomer, or was this person just naturally so harsh and heartless? If it was the latter, then it seemed that his future in the Second Secretary Department wouldn't be easy. He couldn't have just escaped from the evil female devil Yuan Jingjing's claws and fallen into a tiger's den, right? He said embarrassedly, "Yes, I'll remember this."
Ji Gang said, "Your work permit is already done. It's with me. I'll give it to you later." Li Rui said thank you.
Ji Gang turned his head and asked Chen Xiaohe, "Old Chen, have you introduced Li Rui to the colleagues in the office?" Chen Xiaohe said, "No, they're all waiting for you. It's only right for you, the director, to be in charge of the new comrade. "Ji Gang said," You don't have to wait for me. You're usually in charge of the department, so you'll be in charge. "Chen Xiaohe said," I wouldn't dare. I didn't even know about the new comrade. What if … hehe. "
Li Rui listened to the conversation between the two directors and felt that there was some disharmony between them. He was secretly hesitant. If the directors and deputy directors of this office were to fight openly and covertly, as a small soldier, he was afraid that his days would not be good.
Ji Gang didn't say anything. He turned his head and introduced Li Rui to the colleagues in the office.
Other than the newcomer Li Rui, there were currently five people in the Second Secretary Department. Ji Gang was the director and was in charge of the overall work of the Second Secretary Department. Chen Xiaohe was the first deputy director and was in charge of the department when Ji Gang wasn't around. There was another deputy director who had just retired a few months ago. There was a vacant deputy director position. Next, there was a person called Huang Weihua. He was currently a deputy director and was also a well-known writer in the Second Secretary Department. There were two other people, Zhang Boming and Li Dasong, who were both ordinary staff members.
The Second Secretary Department's name was "department", but it was actually a section-level office. Ji Gang and Chen Xiaohe's so-called "director" were actually section-level leaders. It was just that they purposely called it this way. Usually, only provincial level departments had such a title. The city's general office could only be called an office. But most of the prefecture-level cities that did not have a strict system of organization would call themselves "department". This could be understood as a higher position in name. There were six people in the entire office. Originally, there were five people. Now, with the arrival of Li Rui, there were six people in the office.
When Ji Gang introduced Li Rui, he only said that he was a new comrade and did not introduce his position. Chen Xiaohe knew that he had been summoned by the Secretary-General before, so he did not dare to neglect him. The rest of the people did not feel much about his arrival. They were not as enthusiastic when they greeted him.
After getting to know each other, Ji Gang assigned Li Rui some work. Li Rui had just entered the office and did not know anything. Of course, Ji Gang would not assign him any specific tasks. He only asked him to familiarize himself with the work environment and help others with some miscellaneous tasks. When he was free, he could learn how to write different materials.
Huang Weihua was assigned by Ji Gang to be Li Rui's teacher. Li Rui could ask him for help if he had any questions.
Ji Gang did not introduce the specific functions of the Second Secretary Department to Li Rui. Although Li Rui could guess that the Second Secretary Department was most likely a full-time Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, he still wanted to know more. This was to prevent any mistakes in his future work. Li Rui saw that Ji Gang was cold and did not like to talk to people. Li Rui did not want to ask him. He wanted to ask Huang Weihua. Everyone else was working quietly, and if he whispered to Huang Weihua, it would affect everyone else's work. Li Rui thought for a while and could only keep this question in his heart for now. He would ask Feng Yu another time.
Ji Gang seemed to be very busy. He did not stay in the office for long before he left in a hurry. When he left, the pressure in the office seemed to have lessened a lot. Everyone seemed to have straightened up their backs. However, there was still no one chatting. Everyone was busy with their work, as if everyone had endless work in their hands.
Chen Xiaohe got up and walked to Li Rui. He asked pleasantly, "How was it? Did you experience the power of our department head?" Li Rui was stunned. He then understood that Li Rui was talking about Ji Gang's show of strength. However, Li Rui seemed to be dissatisfied with Ji Gang. Of course, Li Rui could not say anything. He only said, "Fortunately, Director Ji did it for my own good. He reminded me. I am very grateful to him." Chen Xiaohe was slightly stunned. He did not expect this new guy to be so grateful. He was not angry when Ji Gang scolded him in front of so many people. Chen Xiaohe was secretly amazed. He shook his head and said, "What do you know? This is just the beginning. You will suffer in the future. "Li Rui smiled foolishly and did not continue the conversation.
From that day on, Li Rui took root in the Second Secretary Department. He studied hard and worked hard. Because he had just arrived, he did not have any specific work. Other than studying, he spent most of his time helping others. He did things like collecting documents, copying materials, helping to prepare for meetings, and making phone calls. There was not much technical content, but it was very trivial. Therefore, he was very busy.
Time passed quickly. A week had passed. The Second Secretary Department's mysterious and tall image in Li Ruixin's eyes had collapsed. He originally thought that the Secretary Department was the core of the Municipal Party Committee's General Office. It was close to the main leaders of the Municipal Party Committee. There was not much work to be done, and it was easy to be promoted. It was a very popular office. Who would have thought that he had misunderstood everything? It was true that the Secretary Department was close to the main leaders of the Municipal Party Committee. However, it was only close to the Secretary. Other people might not even see the Secretary for half a year or even a year. The work was very complicated. There were too many people and things to consider and coordinate. It was not only taxing on the brain but also on the mouth. "Five plus one" and "eight plus two" were common here. He was often so busy that he forgot to eat.
Li Rui even began to thank his former boss, Yuan Jingjing, for her abuse of him. If she had not cultivated a persevering and hardworking temperament, he would not have been able to adapt to the ultra-high-pressure work in the Second Secretary Department.
It was also this week that Liu Liping came back to live at home. She was very different from before. She did housework, bought groceries, and cooked. For a moment, she was like a good wife. Li Rui saw this, but he was not moved at all. At night, the husband and wife slept on the same bed. Liu Liping tried to seduce him more than once, but he always refused. Liu Liping was not angry. She turned around and smiled gently at him. He could not lose his temper even if he wanted to.
On Sunday, Li Rui tried to contact Yuan Jingjing. He wanted to return her salary card. He was afraid that it would be inconvenient for her to call at home, so he sent her a text message. Yuan Jingjing replied that she was not in the city. They could talk again next week. Li Rui thought to himself, 'Wait for next week. Next week, I'll be so busy that I won't be able to spare any time.
