Kui Gongjie was pleased to see that Li Rui was willing to give him face and address him politely. He thought to himself, "Everyone says that the First Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee knows how to conduct himself and handle matters well. After today's meeting, he was convinced. Secretaries of leaders like him were rare nowadays." Kui Gongjie wanted to befriend Li Rui, so he said, "Thank you for your generosity. When do you have time? Let's find a place to sit down. I really want to be good friends with you. Haha, is it convenient for you?"
Li Rui had always been a perfunctory person when it came to such requests. It was the same this time. He smiled and said, "Sure. Thank you for thinking so highly of me, Secretary Su. I'll definitely bother you when I have time …"
After the call, Li Rui put away his phone. He saw Huang Weining looking at him curiously. He smiled at her and asked, "What are you looking at?"
Huang Weining asked, "You said on the phone that a woman took over a hair salon? What's going on? "
Li Rui didn't hide anything from her. He told her the whole story of the conflict with Cao Wu last night. Since there was nothing to do during the trip, he just wanted to pass the time …
At 4: 30 pm, Li Rui and the three women's plane landed at Hongqiao Airport. The three women walked in front empty-handed while Li Rui walked behind them with two small suitcases. After getting off the plane, they walked out of the covered bridge and walked to the exit of the terminal.
This trip to Shanghai was only a short one day, but Huang Weining and Jiang Meixian, the two business ladies, had specially prepared a set of clothes and personal belongings. They each packed a small suitcase. As the only man in the group, Li Rui naturally took on the role of mover.
After walking out of the terminal, the four of them found the driver sent by Tangfeng Film and Television to pick them up. They got into a Mercedes-Benz commercial car and rushed to the hotel in the city.
Tang Feng Film and Television Company had arranged the schedule as follows: After the four of them arrived in Shanghai, they would first stay in a hotel and rest for a while. In the evening, the company's management would hold a banquet to welcome the four of them. Tomorrow morning, they would attend the opening ceremony. After the ceremony, the four of them would be invited to visit the company. At noon, another banquet would be held for the four of them. The schedule was packed.
On the way, Li Rui found that Jiang Meixian was a little nervous. Although she was sitting in the back with a seat belt on, her two hands were still firmly holding the back of the seat in front of her. Her expression was not very good, as if a car accident was about to happen. This reminded Li Rui of the first time he came to Shanghai with her. Tang Su sent a driver to pick them up at the airport. In the end, Ye Pingping sent someone to tamper with Tang Su's car, causing it to overturn on the street in the city. If he hadn't reacted in time, both of them would have been seriously injured … But now, Jiang Meixian didn't have to worry, because Ye Pingping was no longer an enemy of Tang Su. Besides, the car in front of them was not Tang Su's car.
Thinking of Ye Pingping, Li Rui naturally thought of her and Tang Su's common boss, Du Xiaolei. The last time he came to Shanghai to celebrate Tang Su's birthday, this Young Master Du got jealous and sent someone to beat him up. Fortunately, at that time, his good friend, Xu Da, was there, so he escaped safely. This time, he came to Shanghai again and had to deal with Tang Su. He didn't know if this Mr. Du would get jealous again and cause trouble again. Forget it. No matter what, he had to be prepared first. For example, when he was in public with Tang Su, he shouldn't be too close, so as not to provoke this Mr. Du …
While Li Rui was letting his imagination run wild, his phone suddenly rang. He took it out and saw that it was Tang Su calling. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Huang Weining sitting next to him. He thought that it was not good to talk to Tang Su in front of her. After thinking for a while, he immediately picked up the phone. Before Tang Su could speak, he said, "We have landed and are rushing to the hotel. See you tonight!"
Tang Su said, "I won't be having dinner with you guys, but Du Xiaolei will be there. He knows that Jiang Meixian has arrived, so he seized this opportunity to get close to her. You have to keep an eye on your sweetheart. Don't let her become someone else's sweetheart."
Calling Jiang Meixian Li Rui's sweetheart was an interesting thing that happened when Li Rui and Jiang Meixian came to Shanghai for the first time and Tang Su invited them to dinner. Of course, Tang Su was just joking. Now, he repeated this ambiguous concept just to tease Li Rui.
Li Rui held back his laughter and said, "Got it."
Tang Su said again, "If you have nothing else to do after dinner, go home. I'll wait for you at home."
Li Rui said okay again.
Tang Su said, "Do you still remember the name of our neighborhood?"
Li Rui said, "Yes, I remember!"
Tang Su whispered, "Why do you only say these two words every sentence? Is it inconvenient to talk? Then we'll talk about it tonight. I'm hanging up. "
Li Rui hung up the phone and turned to whisper to Yang Xiang, "Du Xiaolei, the boss of Tang Feng Film and Television Company, will be there for dinner. This man is a playboy. When he sees a beautiful woman, he can't move his legs. He has been coveting Cindy for a long time. If he sees Weining tonight and learns about Weining's family background, he will most likely attack Weining. You have to keep an eye on him."
Yang Xiang pretended to be confused and said, "Attack what?"
Li Rui reprimanded, "Stop fooling around. If a man attacks a woman, what else can it be?"
Yang Xiang said, "Okay, then tonight, if I see that Du guy attacking Sister Weining, I'll slap him!"
Li Rui didn't know whether to laugh or cry and said, "Xiang Xiang, I realize that something is wrong with you today. It's as if you're deliberately going against me."
Yang Xiang pursed her lips and said, "You were the one who asked me to keep an eye on him. Now that I've agreed, you're still scolding me. Why are you so hard to please? Get lost, get lost, and don't bother with me. "After saying that, she turned her face away impatiently, but there was a teasing smile on her face.
Li Rui knew that she was teasing him. He could only look at Jiang Meixian who was sitting next to her and smile bitterly.
Jiang Meixian lowered her voice and said, "This Du Xiaolei is indeed interested in me. The last time I came by myself, he asked me out to play. I didn't dare to agree because I was afraid that he would eat me up."
Yang Xiang turned around and said, "Why are you afraid of him? Play with him and see who has the last laugh … Isn't his ultimate goal to trick you into sleeping with him? You can kick him in the crotch at the last moment and let him know the consequences of playing with women."
After arriving at the hotel, the driver took the four of them to their rooms. This hotel was the Marriott Hotel where Li Rui had stayed before. At the same time, it was also the hotel where Tang Feng Entertainment entertained their clients.
The four of them were arranged to stay in four rooms. However, they were not on the same floor. They were on two different floors. Huang Weining and Yang Xiang would definitely stay together, so Li Rui and Jiang Meixian stayed on another floor. Of course, this room was meaningless to Li Rui because he was going to sneak over to his and Tang Su's house at night to stay the night.
After checking into the room, Li Rui took a shower first to get rid of the hot summer in Shanghai in July. Then, he lay on the bed and straightened his back to rest for a while. However, not long after, Jiang Meixian called him for help. "Du Xiaolei is coming over to find me. What should I do?"
Li Rui sneered. This Du Xiaolei was really good at seizing opportunities. He wanted to use the short time before dinner to pick up girls. Fortunately, Cindy was not an ordinary girl. She understood Du Xiaolei's intentions and would not be fooled by him. If it were any other ordinary girl who was greedy for vanity and wealth, she would probably have been won over by Du Xiaolei. He said, "You can reject him. Just say that you still need to work for a while. Didn't you bring your laptop with you?"
Jiang Meixian hummed and said, "I didn't think of rejecting him, but I also didn't agree. Du Xiaolei didn't care and said that he would come over to find me."
Li Rui sighed and said, "Then you can only brush him off."
Jiang Meixian said, "But I don't want to face him alone. It's too scary to face him alone. Can you come over and accompany me? He won't be too presumptuous in front of you. "
Li Rui almost burst into tears. Because of Tang Su, Du Xiaolei already hated him to death. If he continued to obstruct him from pursuing Cindy, he would really kill him. He said, "No, I can't be misunderstood by him. You … you just have to act like you're working overtime. He won't go too far when he sees that you're busy."
Jiang Meixian sighed faintly and did not say anything else.
Twenty minutes later, someone suddenly knocked on the door. Li Rui put on his shirt and tidied up his clothes. He quickly walked to the door and opened it. He saw Jiang Meixian and Du Xiaolei standing outside the door. When he saw the two of them, he was stunned. What is Cindy doing? Why did she bring Du Xiaolei here to see me? I have no interest in talking to him.
When Du Xiaolei saw Li Rui, he was not surprised at all. He had a faint smile on his face and said, "We meet again!"
From his words, Li Rui could tell that he did not have a good impression of him. Otherwise, he would not have not said "welcome". Of course, he did not like him either. He smiled and said, "Sorry to trouble you again, Mr. Du."
Du Xiaolei said, "You're welcome."
Jiang Meixian waited for the two of them to finish talking before she turned around and stood beside Li Rui. She pointed at him and said to Du Xiaolei shyly, "Mr. Du, this is my boyfriend!"
When she said this, Du Xiaolei and Li Rui were stunned.
Li Rui looked at Jiang Meixian in disbelief. At this time, Jiang Meixian was also looking at him. She was hinting at him with her eyes.
Li Ruixin thought quickly. He knew that she was using him as a shield to stop Du Xiaolei from pursuing her. Although this was a good idea, it was a trap for him. Wouldn't Du Xiaolei be mad? However, he could not not help her now. He could only brace himself and ask, "Cindy, what happened?"
Jiang Meixian said with a red face, "Mr. Du thought that I did not have a boyfriend, so he confessed to me just now …"
Du Xiaolei's face turned green and red. After a while, he laughed and said, "Meixian, are you using Mr. Li to make me back off? Mr. Li is not your boyfriend. I can see that. Besides, Mr. Li is closer to our Tang Su. I would rather believe that they are boyfriend and girlfriend. "
His words were harsh. He not only attacked Jiang Meixian but also hinted that Li Rui and Tang Su were in an ambiguous relationship. He reminded Jiang Meixian not to have feelings for Li Rui.
