Li Rui said gloomily, "I'll drive my car back. It's in Jingnan."
Chen Chen nodded and said, "Will you come back tonight? If you come back, I'll take a shower and give you a chance to invite a beautiful woman to dinner. "
Li Rui almost laughed out and said, "Maybe another day. I can't come back tonight."
Chen Chen was very resentful, like a concubine who had been put into the cold palace by him. Her face darkened and she reached out to pinch him again. "I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it. I gave you face, didn't I …"
After a lot of trouble, Li Rui arrived in Jingnan at 4: 30 p.m. Coming out of the train station, he immediately took a taxi to the Provincial League Committee Family Compound in Hebei District to drive.
Coincidentally, as soon as he got into his BMW X5, he received a call from Zixuan.
Zi Xuan didn't have any other reason to look for him. She just wanted to ask on behalf of Qing Man why he hadn't returned after being gone for so long. Did something happen?
Li Rui naturally didn't want to tell the truth to the sisters in case they were worried. He said that he had been in Chi Guohua's place for half a day and had just arrived at Song Chaoyang's house to get clothes. He would be back soon.
Zixuan believed him and asked him to come back early. Then he hung up the phone quickly.
Li Rui didn't delay and immediately drove to the Provincial Agricultural University. On the way, he was thinking that if he saw Kang Chengfu later, he would beat him until he looked for his teeth on the ground, even if he didn't break his bones and tendons. Otherwise, it would be difficult to vent his anger. But when he drove to the campus of the Provincial Agricultural University, he changed his mind. What was the point of arguing with such a bad person? Beating him would only make him angrier. It was better to ignore him and ask Chi Guohua to deal with Kang Chengfu. It was not only a respect to Chi Guohua, but also a punishment for Kang Chengfu.
He rushed to the Administration Building of the Provincial Agricultural University and called Chi Guohua to make an appointment. Unfortunately, Chi Guohua was not in school.
Li Rui hesitated for a while and decided not to talk about it in person. After all, there was not enough time. Anyway, this matter could be clearly explained over the phone. He told Chi Guohua everything from the beginning of Kang Chengfu's theft of the painting to the kidnapping incident that led to today.
These two strange things had a great impact on Chi Guohua, the leader of the academic faction. He was stunned for a long time and did not say anything. Finally, he asked, "Is what you said true?"
Li Rui said, "If you don't believe me, you can ask Kang Chengfu in person."
Chi Guohua said in a gloomy tone, "Why didn't you tell me in time when Kang Chengfu first stole the painting?"
Li Rui sighed, "I wanted to give him a chance to turn over a new leaf. I was afraid that you would punish him after you found out, so I didn't call the police and didn't tell you. Who would have thought that this guy wouldn't repent and even went from bad to worse and sold me to his creditor. I now suspect that he might want to use the kidnappers to kill me so that I won't expose his theft of the painting one day. "
Chi Guohua said gloomily, "Thank you for always thinking about me and Agricultural University. You didn't call the police and gave me face. Otherwise, I would have been implicated by him."
Li Rui said, "You're welcome, Principal Chi. After all, we're friends."
Chi Guohua smiled dryly and said, "Yes, friends. Thank you for treating me as a friend. Okay, tell me, how do you plan to deal with Kang Chengfu? "
Li Rui said, "I don't have any plans. You can do as you see fit. I believe that you can give me justice."
Chi Guohua thought for a long time and said, "How about this? I'll ask him to turn himself in to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and confess his gambling and other illegal activities. Then, the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection will investigate him and deal with him. He will naturally be severely punished. If he doesn't turn himself in, I'll threaten to call the police and expose his theft of the painting and his suspected kidnapping. I believe that he will definitely turn himself in. This way, we can protect Agricultural University's reputation to the greatest extent and give you justice at the same time. But please forgive me for thinking about the university first. In my position, I have to consider this point. "
Li Rui said, "Yes, I understand. You don't have to feel embarrassed. I'm satisfied with this result."
Chi Guohua said, "It seems that Kang Chengfu has already set his eyes on the painting of the Old Mountain Temple. No matter what happens to him in the future, he won't forget the 40 million market value of that painting. He might even have evil thoughts in the future. Director Li, for your safety, I suggest that you destroy the added value of that painting. Isn't that painting only worth 40 million because of Wenxing's seal? Then you can destroy the seal and keep the painting. Then, let Kang Chengfu know about this change and he will naturally give up … You can do this. Take a short video of destroying the seal with your mobile phone and send it to me. I'll show it to Kang Chengfu and it'll be settled once and for all. "
Li Rui was a little touched. He didn't expect Principal Chi to be considerate of him and even give him a solution. It was all thanks to his reminder and advice. Otherwise, he would still be shrouded in the evil shadow created by that painting. He said gratefully, "Thank you, Principal Chi. You're so busy, but you still specially thought of me. It's all thanks to your reminder that I found out about this loophole. Then I'll do as you say. I'll do it when I return to Qingyang tomorrow and send you the video. "
Chi Guohua said with a smile, "You don't have to thank me. You treat me as a friend and give me face. You think for me and Agricultural University wholeheartedly, so I naturally have to treat you as a friend and think for you. Besides, this matter was caused by my subordinate, so I have the responsibility to think for you … "
The two exchanged some polite words. Seeing that they had finished talking about the business, they hung up the phone.
Li Rui drove out of the campus, thinking to himself, "I treat others with benevolence, and they treat me with benevolence." If he didn't think for Chi Guohua and beat Kang Chengfu violently first, and then called the police to arrest him, he would vent his anger. However, as Kang Chengfu's leader, Chi Guohua, would be disgraced. Even if he didn't become enemies with him, he would definitely resent him, and it would even affect the cooperation between Provincial Agricultural University and Qingyang in the future. What he did now was to save Chi Guohua's face and protect his reputation. Chi Guohua was grateful for his kindness, so he also thought for himself. In the end, it was a win-win situation. This was the right way to communicate with others and etiquette. In the future, he would continue to behave in this way and make more friends and fewer enemies.
At six o 'clock in the evening, Li Rui took Qingman and said goodbye to Zixuan and went to the Standing Committee Building of the Provincial Party Committee Compound to have dinner with Lu Zhouxing and He Suli. This was also the first real dinner for He Suli's whole family after she married into the Lu family.
There were a total of six dishes for dinner, two cold and four hot dishes, all cooked by He Suli. This was already considered a sumptuous meal for a family of four. He Suli seemed to want to take this opportunity to show her nature as a good wife and mother. She cooked very carefully. Every dish looked, smelled, and tasted good, which was very appetizing.
Li Rui praised her while eating, but in the end, he was a little speechless. He Suli was beaming with joy because of his praise. Her pretty face always had a smile from the bottom of her heart.
Lu Zhouxing was also very happy. The wife that his daughter and son-in-law introduced to him was not only beautiful, but also elegant and generous. She also had such beautiful cooking skills. He didn't expect that he could still enjoy such good fortune in his old age. He must have done a lot in his previous life.
After dinner, Li Rui sat on the sofa in the living room with Lu Zhouxing and chatted. He also told him about how Qingyang defeated Hanshui's gang.
Lu Zhouxing confirmed this. "Huge social tumors like this must be eliminated. Song Chaoyang didn't eliminate them as soon as he arrived in Qingyang. He only did it after a year. This shows his political wisdom. You have to learn from him. "
Li Rui almost laughed out loud. Daddy, this has almost nothing to do with my boss. I was the one who initiated the elimination of Hanshui. Of course, my boss also intended to eliminate him. Otherwise, I wouldn't have had the chance to do it. He held back his laughter and said, "Yes, Song Chaoji spent the first few months to gain a foothold in Qingyang. Then, he started to work on poverty alleviation and urban construction. Although he has already gained the approval and respect of the majority of Qingyang's cadres, he still lacks the dignity that the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee should have. This time, he used the opportunity to eliminate Hanshui and his gang to show his thunderous tactics. It does contain a lot of political wisdom."
Lu Zhouxing was very happy that he could understand this point. He asked again, "Since Hanshui is the richest man in Qingyang, he must have a lot of businesses under him. Were those businesses affected by this incident? Did Song Chaoyang consider and deal with this? "
When Li Rui heard this question, he told him how the city dealt with the Construction Group.
Lv Zhouxing was very gratified. "Not bad. While fighting the underworld, he also takes care of preserving the industry and maintaining stability. Song Chaoyang's consideration is very meticulous and thorough. No one else can do better than him. It seems that he, the former Secretary of the Provincial League Committee, is really capable! "
This was a very high praise. It was a high recognition of Song Chaoyang. Li Rui was very happy after hearing it. He was happy for his boss, Song Chaoyang. However, he couldn't just be happy like a silly boy. He had to take care of business. He reported to his father-in-law about the follow-up actions that Song Chaoyang was going to carry out. It was the upcoming clean-up of Qingyang's officialdom. A large number of officials who colluded with Hanshui were to be dealt with. This would be a big move, and it was very likely to cause a big disturbance. It was necessary to report to Lu Zhouxing and listen to his opinion.
Lu Zhouxing heard it and said, "It can be cleaned up, but it has to be done in moderation. Don't let it affect the first Provincial Poverty Alleviation and Development Conference in September."
This set the tone for Song Chaoyang's clean-up operation. It could be done, but it shouldn't be done too deeply. It meant that they should only deal with the officials who had serious problems and were corrupt. They should ignore the rest of the officials and give them a chance to turn over a new leaf. In short, it shouldn't be a movement, shouldn't make people panic, shouldn't disrupt the ecological order of Qingyang's officialdom, and shouldn't affect the "VIP Meeting" in September.
