If it was said that Han Shui's initial goal was to let the Construction Group expand all the counties in Qingyang City, then Zhang Zheng's initial goal was to let Jia Jia Supermarket take over all the counties in Qingyang City. Until now, Han Shui's goal had not been achieved and could only be left to his younger brother, Han Jin. However, Zhang Zheng's goal had been achieved, or rather, his strategic plan had been completed. Currently, in Qingyang City, there was no supermarket that could compete with Jia Jia Supermarket. Whether it was a local chain supermarket or a foreign supermarket, there was no one that could compete with Jia Jia Supermarket.
Zhang Zheng was ranked second on Qingyang City's wealthiest list, and most of it was due to Jia Jia Supermarket's unlimited expansion. Of course, Zhang Zheng's wealth was also relatively clean. Unlike Han Shui, whose process of making a fortune was a violent history, Zhang Zheng's process of making a fortune was a history of struggle, which was both inspiring and tragic. Because of this, Zhang Zheng's reputation in the city was very good, and he had the taste of a scholarly businessman. This person usually kept a low profile. He was not like Han Shui, who was always trying to please the public. Things like causing a violent demolition, or suddenly donating 100 million RMB to upgrade the city's night scenery. Over the years, it was rare to hear news about Zhang Zheng in the city.
Because of this, Li Rui could not believe that Zhang Zheng was actually willing to invest in Yu Nan's monopoly. Could it be that Zhang Zheng was tired of making money and wanted to play dirty? Or was it that Zhang Zheng was not a good person, and now he was just showing his true colors?
Yu Nan finally made a request. He wanted Li Rui to take some time in the next few days to introduce him to the leaders of the Municipal Bureau of Land and Resources.
Yu Nan already knew the first deputy director of the Municipal Bureau of Land and Resources, Chen Zhimin. However, they only knew each other from drinking and did not have a deep relationship. He also disdained to make friends with a small deputy director like Chen Zhimin. After all, he was the son of the provincial party secretary. He gave the task of managing the local official network to Han Shui, not to mention that Chen Zhimin was also Han Shui's friend. Who would have thought that Han Shui would be arrested by the Municipal Bureau of Public Security so quickly? Yu Nan had no choice but to personally go and make friends with Chen Zhimin.
Of course, Yu Nan didn't know that after Han Shui was arrested, Chen Zhimin's good days were over. Although the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Song Chaoyang, gave Chen Zhimin a lenient sentence for making amends for his faults, he also had to resign on his own accord. He would no longer be the second leader of the Municipal Bureau of Land and Resources.
Li Rui agreed to Yu Nan on the spot, but in his heart, he was thinking that it would be better to take advantage of the fact that Yu Nan didn't know that Chen Zhimin was about to retire to buy some time. If he could buy as much time as possible, he wouldn't have to be driven away by Chen Zhimin, and he would also have more time for himself and Zi Xiao to come up with a countermeasure.
After parting ways with Yu Nan, it was already past five o 'clock. There was still an hour and a half before dinner. Li Rui didn't want to go home anymore, so he directly drove to the Drunken Immortal Restaurant. He planned to book a private room in advance and wait for Zhang Wei while thinking of ways to counter Yu Nan.
When Li Rui arrived at the Drunken Immortal Restaurant, he didn't see Old Cripple Zheng. Instead, he saw his wife, Wang Hongyu. Wang Hongyu knew Li Rui's position in her husband's heart, so she warmly welcomed him. She personally led him to the private room and asked the waiter to serve him good tea. After chatting with him for a while, she left.
Li Rui drank the tea while thinking. When it was past six o 'clock, he gradually felt that his bladder was full, so he got up and went to the bathroom.
What a coincidence, when he came out of the bathroom, he bumped into a group of guests. Among the guests, there was a smiling and good-looking woman. She was the director of the Administrative Reception Department of the Municipal People's Congress General Office, the one who kept pestering him, Qin Lina.
Qin Lina was following behind three middle-aged men, accompanied by a woman of the same age. They were talking and laughing as they walked over. It seemed like they were having a gathering with friends.
When Li Rui saw her, his first thought was to retreat to the bathroom, but it was too late. Qin Lina had already discovered him.
Qin Lina also didn't expect to meet him here. She was surprised and happy. She went forward and smiled: "We are really fated to meet each other even when eating."
She didn't even call Li Rui by his official name or name. She directly called him 'you' and 'me', revealing a sense of intimacy.
Li Rui knew that she deliberately said it so intimately. He secretly complained in his heart. He braced himself and smiled: "Yes, you also came to eat?"
Qin Lina waited for the female companion to walk away before she smiled: "Didn't you say that you were busy recently? You still have time to come out for a meal? "
This was the meaning of a punitive expedition. Li Rui was angry and embarrassed. Who are you, Qin Lina? Why do you care where I go to eat? Is it your turn to care whether I am busy or not? Didn't you know that I have an ambiguous relationship with Jingjing? Do you think you can control me with this? Do you really think that I am a soft persimmon that you can pinch as you wish? His heart was burning with anger, but he couldn't fall out with her. He lowered his voice and said: "I am accompanying my leader to eat. Do you think I have time to come out?"
Qin Lina was even more surprised. She said with a smile of exultation: "You are here to tell the story? Which room is it? I'll propose a toast to him later. "
Li Ruixin was secretly shocked. This Qin Lina was really not easy to get along with. She wanted to curry favor with him whenever there was a chance. Fortunately, the boss didn't come tonight. Otherwise, it would be easy for her to stick to him. This woman also had a trump card, which was her smile. When she didn't smile, she was at most above average. Once she smiled, she became a great beauty that didn't lose to Yuan Jingjing. If the boss was touched by her, he probably couldn't escape from her gentle trap. He shook his head and said: "It's not the secretary. It's an old leader of mine."
Qin Lina was very disappointed, but she quickly smiled and said: "What time will you finish eating? I will treat you to a drink after you finish eating."
Li Rui said: "It will be around eight o 'clock after I finish eating. I still have to send my old leader home. Let's drink another day. I have good news to tell you."
Qin Lina raised her eyebrows and asked curiously: "Good news? What good news? "
Li Rui pretended to be vigilant and looked around. When he saw that there were no outsiders, he lowered his voice and said: "The secretary has a good impression of you. I also put in some good words for you. The secretary has decided to give you a promotion and arrange a position for you."
Logically speaking, Li Rui couldn't reveal this to Qin Lina. In fact, Li Rui had always kept this kind of official secret very well. The reason why he revealed it to Qin Lina today was to divert her attention and prevent her from pestering him. Moreover, Song Chaoyang's arrangement was to help him stabilize Qin Lina. Therefore, it wasn't a big deal to tell her now.
Qin Lina was stunned. She didn't have time to hide the smile on her face. However, her face was blank, which made her look cute.
Li Rui looked at her and thought to himself: How good would it be if such a cheerful, lively, and beautiful woman could keep a pure heart? Why couldn't she find her way out of the official's eyes? Because of this, she lost her heart and damaged her moral character. She became this scheming, shameless, and despicable person. It was really sad, lamentable, and shameful.
Qin Lina came back to her senses after a long time. She suddenly grabbed his arm and said in surprise: "You're not lying to me?"
Li Rui said seriously: "If I lie to you, I will be struck to death by lightning immediately."
Qin Lina exclaimed in surprise and almost jumped up. She was immediately ecstatic and the smile on her face became three layers. Her eyes were wide open, and her mouth was wide open. She shouted: "This is … this is … really … My god, is it true? I finally … finally see the moon after waiting for so long. Ah … this is great …"
Li Rui didn't want to be entangled with her too much. He shook off her hand and said: "Go back and wait patiently. You will be promoted to Deputy Director in half a month at the earliest and a month at the latest. If you can't get promoted, you can come and find me. Of course, you have to be prepared for this. After you are promoted, you have to be cautious and conscientious. Make some achievements and don't let the secretary down. "
Qin Lina nodded excitedly. She grabbed his hand again and said in a low voice: "You are so good to me. How can I repay you? Just say it. As long as I can do it, I will definitely do it. "She looked at him with eyes full of affection.
Li Rui was not moved by her words of gratitude. Instead, he despised her even more. This kind of woman seemed to be very righteous on the surface. As long as you helped her, she would repay you wholeheartedly. But in fact, if you didn't meet her requirements, she wouldn't mind using the most despicable means to coerce you. He had to be very careful when dealing with this kind of woman. He smiled and said: "We are friends. Aren't you being polite? You just have to work hard to repay me. "
Qin Lina could also see that he didn't have any ideas about her. She had revealed her intentions to him many times, but he didn't respond. Naturally, he didn't intend to develop a closer relationship with her. Thinking about it, he had such a beautiful woman like Yuan Jingjing as his lover. How could he like her, who was inferior to Yuan Jingjing in all aspects? If he didn't want to, then so be it. She wasn't so cheap as to give herself to him. Since he had helped her so much, then she might as well just be friends with him. She could also continue to get benefits from him. She understood this point and nodded: "Okay. Don't worry. I will work hard …"
Back in the private room, Li Rui's back was already covered with a layer of sweat. Thinking about how Qin Lina had grabbed his hand and winked at him, he still had lingering fears. Well, he thought that telling her the good news would make her let him go. Who knew that she would be even more excited. Alas, how could there be such a woman in the world?
Just as his thoughts were running wild, Zhang Wei called.
Li Rui guessed that she had arrived. After answering the call, he told her that he was in the private room and told her to walk in by herself. He didn't intend to go out to meet her, so as not to be seen by outsiders and cause trouble. At this time, not to mention outsiders, if Qin Lina, who was also in the Zuixian Restaurant, saw him walking together with Zhang Wei, she might do something. Therefore, he didn't want to meet her if he could. He believed that Zhang Wei wouldn't mind.
