Song Chaoyang's brows relaxed and he said, "It's good that you're not."
Although he didn't say anything else, Li Rui could understand the meaning behind his words. He was worried that he would fall in love with Zhuang Haixia and walk further down the wrong path. Therefore, he nodded and didn't say anything else.
The master and servant walked out of the VIP building. Li Rui ran to his car and took the clothes he brought for Song Xue from the back seat and handed them to Song Chaoyang.
Song Chaoyang took it and didn't even look at it. He whispered, "Your Sister Xiaowei rushed over from Shuanghe. She wants to treat me to dinner tonight, but with your Teacher Sun's condition, how can I go out drinking and having fun behind her back? Accompany your Sister Xiaowei for dinner on my behalf and let her understand. "
Li Ruixin nodded secretly. With Sun Shuqin's illness, his boss's playful thoughts had been completely restrained. This was very difficult for an affectionate man to do. It also showed that he loved Sun Shuqin very much and was very self-disciplined. Compared to those perverted officials who had dozens of mistresses, he was much better. He said, "Okay, I'll contact her now."
Song Chaoyang reminded him, "She still doesn't know that I won't be coming tonight. Don't mention it over the phone. When you see her tonight, explain it to me."
Li Rui agreed. After watching him leave in car number one, he got into the car and called Zhang Wei.
Zhang Wei didn't know about Song Chaoyang's plan. He even thought that he had asked Li Rui to arrange a banquet for tonight. After hearing Li Rui's plan for tonight — the usual place, Zuixian Restaurant — she was very happy. She said affectionately, "Good brother, Sister hasn't seen you for a long time. I miss you very much. Let's have a few drinks tonight."
When Li Rui heard her speak so intimately, he couldn't help but recall that time in Shuanghe County, when she ran to his room and invited him to drink cross-cupped wine. He felt a burst of excitement and said, "Okay, then I'll see you later."
It was already past 4: 30 pm. Li Rui and Zhang Wei had agreed to meet at 6: 30 pm, so there were less than two hours between them. Usually, Li Rui would not go home during such a short time. Instead, he would find a place to hang out for a while and rush to the restaurant when it was about time. However, after being comforted by his mother-in-law, He Suli, he somewhat calmed down. Therefore, he drove home, intending to spend more time with Qingman and tell her about the activity in the evening.
Li Rui had just arrived at the entrance of his garage when he suddenly received a call. Looking at the caller ID, his expression was rather heavy.
The call was from his old rival, Yu Nan. His intention for calling at this time was self-evident. It was definitely related to his and Han Shui's aborted plot to monopolize the Qingyang gold mine industry.
Li Rui looked at the phone and did not know whether to answer or not. He sighed twice and helplessly picked up the phone.
"Where are you? Come to Qingyang Hotel, I have something to discuss with you. "
Yu Nan's tone was somewhat arrogant and carried a hint of hostility. It seemed that he had Li Rui in his grasp.
Li Rui really wanted to say to him, "Who the f * ck do you think you are? You want me to go to Qingyang Hotel and I'll go there? Who are you ordering with that tone of voice? " However, it was clear that this kind of words would not bring about any benefits other than starting a fight. Instead, it would make Yu Nan more vigilant. The smart thing to do was to feign civility before he thought of how to deal with the huge threat that Yu Nan brought. He tried his best to stabilize him and let him think that his plan worked. When the time comes, it would be easier to deal with him. Understanding this point, he sighed and smiled, "Alright, since Young Master Yu invited me, how would I dare to not come? Please wait for a minute, I'll bring my things and rush over. "
Seeing that Li Rui was obedient, Yu Nan was secretly pleased. He thought to himself, "So what if you're the son-in-law of the Governor? Now that I have something on you, you still have to act like a grandson in front of me." He laughed, "Actually, it's not that urgent. I can give you two minutes, haha." He hung up the phone while laughing.
Li Rui put down the phone. He thought to himself, "I'll let you be rampant for a while. When Zixiao and I come up with a solution, you won't be able to curse anymore." He pushed open the door and got out of the car. When he got home, he found Qingman and kissed her on the cheek. He told her that he was going to replace Song Chaoyang's banquet tonight and asked her for leave. Of course, he would not reveal Zhang Wei's identity to avoid damaging his boss's reputation.
Qingman naturally put his matter first. She told him to drink less at night and drive slower when he got home.
Li Rui hugged her for a while before going downstairs and getting into the car. He rushed to Qingyang Hotel.
Li Rui saw Yu Nan's car on the road outside the north gate of Qingyang Hotel. As usual, he got out of the car and sat in the front passenger seat.
Yu Nan saw him and did not bother to greet him. He frowned and said, "Why did the city suddenly arrest Han Shui?"
Li Rui pretended to be confused and shook his head, "I heard about this, but I'm not sure. It should be the Municipal Government's decision. The Municipal Public Security Bureau launched the arrest operation."
Yu Nan cursed, "Damn it. When they arrested me, I was still having fun with two girls in the Dragon Palace. Now they arrested me too."
Li Rui almost laughed out loud. He held back his laughter and asked, "Then how did you get out?"
Yu Nan said, "How else? I paid the fine. I wanted to call you for help, but my phone was confiscated by the police. They only let me out after I paid the fine. Luckily, Han Shui and Li Bing lost tens of thousands to me when we were playing mahjong a few days ago. Otherwise, I would still be in there. "
Li Rui probed, "It seems like Han Shui's crime is not light. I heard that he would at least be sentenced to life imprisonment. If he doesn't do well, he will be executed. Once he's done, won't your gold mining plan be over too? "
Yu Nan stared, "How is that possible? It wasn't easy for me to find such a profitable business. How can I give it up so easily? "
Li Rui frowned, "But once Han Shui is done, his power and investment will be gone. How are you going to carry out your plan?"
Yu Nan said, "Don't I still have you?!"
Li Rui was stunned and laughed, "Young Master Yu, don't joke around. How can I have money and power? If you want to monopolize the gold mining industry in Qingyang Mountain, you need a huge investment. Without money, you can't even think about buying those rich mines. Even if they want to sell it to you, you don't have the money to buy it. This investment will need at least a few hundred million. After all, it's not just buying one or two companies, but all the gold mining companies and mines. Even if you only buy half of them, it will still need one or two hundred million. Secondly, you need a huge power. If you work with the Ministry of Land and Resources, you can use administrative means to force a small number of gold mining companies to stop production and upgrade. But what if they don't agree to sell it to you? What if they stop production on the surface and operate in the dark? These situations need a huge power of the underworld to settle. But I don't have either of these. How can you count on me? "
Yu Nan raised his hand and said, "You don't have to worry about the money. I will be responsible for getting investment. You don't have to worry about the underworld either. I promise to get a lot of help. You don't have to worry about the specific work. You just need to be responsible for two things. First, after Han Shui's arrest, my relationship with the Ministry of Land and Resources in your city and county will be cut off. You will be responsible for helping me build it up. That is, you will introduce me to the leaders of the Ministry of Land and Resources at the city and county level. I need them to use administrative means to attack those gold mining companies. Second, you will cover for me in the city. When I need any connections, you will introduce them to me. After these two things are done, you will still get 30% of the shares. How about it? Is that enough? "
Li Rui readily agreed, "These two things are not a problem. Leave it to me. But I'm curious. Where are you going to get investment and the underworld? Let's talk about the underworld first. Han Shui and his gang have been arrested. The biggest or even the only underworld in Qingyang Mountain has collapsed. Where are you going to find the underworld? Looking for the underworld? Definitely not. The dragon that crosses the river can't beat the local snake. This is an old saying. How are you going to solve it? As for investment, which rich man do you know who can take out a few hundred million at once? Don't go around borrowing money. Although you can still get the money eventually, there will be too many people involved and it won't be easy to manage. "
Yu Nan laughed and said proudly, "That's not a problem! I don't play mahjong and women every day in the Dragon Emperor Palace. I also know a lot of rich people in Qingyang Mountain from Li Bing and the rest. I know the second richest man in Qingyang Mountain, the CEO of the Jia Jia Group, Zhang Zheng. Before I came to you, I had already talked to him about this matter. He was very interested and was willing to invest and help me find an underworld. How is it? My communication skills are awesome, right? I just came to Qingyang Mountain a few days ago and I got the second richest man in Qingyang Mountain … No, he should be the first now. Haha, another richest man in Qingyang Mountain. I won the support of another richest man in Qingyang Mountain. Haha, I admire myself. "
A smile appeared on Li Rui's face when he heard this. "Congratulations, congratulations. This is truly a matter of congratulations." But in his heart, he was shocked. Was this guy so powerful that he could trick Zhang Zheng to his side to be a sucker?
Zhang Zheng was also a big celebrity in Qingyang Mountain. At least the people in Qingyang Mountain knew this person and knew that he was rich. However, Li Rui didn't know how much money he had. According to Yu Nan, "only second to Han Shui", his wealth was estimated to be more than 10 billion. However, Li Rui was very familiar with Zhang Zheng's business in Qingyang Mountain. His business mainly focused on shopping malls, chain supermarkets, real estate, hotels, and so on. Of course, the most famous one was the chain supermarkets.
Jia Jia Supermarkets could be found in all the counties and major cities in Qingyang City. Their competitiveness was extremely strong. In Qingyang City, they were the largest and most modern supermarkets. There were more than 60 of them in total. Not to mention the profits of these more than 60 Jia Jia Supermarkets, just the land price of the bustling streets of the counties and districts occupied by these more than 60 supermarkets was worth more than hundreds of millions of yuan.
