As soon as he sat down, Yao Xuefei threw herself into his arms like a spoiled child and said, "Hubby, I missed you so much." Li Rui hugged her body and deeply breathed in her hair. He used his hand to gently pat her back and said, "Hubby missed you too. Last time you went to the hospital to visit me, I want to thank you." Yao Xuefei said, "Here you go again. Isn't it natural for a wife to visit her husband? You're always thanking me, what kind of person do you think I am? "After she finished speaking, she angrily looked up and glared at him. Li Rui saw that she was acting coquettishly and his heart was filled with joy. Under the dim light of the night, he saw that her charming face seemed to be sprinkled with a layer of silver powder. She was so beautiful that he couldn't help but kiss her heavily on the forehead and said, "I want to thank you because I want to punish you. Humph, you went to visit me without my permission and almost got seen through by my future wife. "Yao Xuefei laughed and said," That little woman is your future wife? " Li Rui didn't want to talk to her anymore. Lu Qingman, he pushed her soft body back into the driver's seat and took out the card and handed it to her, saying, "Darling, I can't let you follow me for nothing. Take this card, the password is four fives and two eights. When you go back, you have time to withdraw all the money and deposit it into your card or open another card. Remember not to open another card and deposit the money into it. Take it as your pocket money. "
Yao Xuefei looked and asked, "How much money is inside?" Li Rui laughed and said, "You'll know when we get back." Yao Xuefei held his hand and said softly, "Hubby, you're so good to me." Li Rui said, "It's not even started yet, it's just the beginning." Yao Xuefei said with a smile, "I knew you were a good man with affection and loyalty. I really have good eyesight, hehe. Then hubby, I won't refuse you. The money is mine, but it's even more yours. " Li Rui nodded. He couldn't help but stroke her hair and said, "It's my good fortune that you can take a fancy to a worthless, poor boy like me. I will always be good to you." Yao Xuefei was moved and faintly said, "Hubby, why don't you come to my house tonight? You haven't been to my house yet." Li Rui smiled and said, "It's too late. Another day." Yao Xuefei giggled and said, "Another day? Sure, is she in the car? " Li Rui was stunned for a moment before he realized that she had deliberately misinterpreted his words. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "You should go back quickly. I need to rest too. I'll accompany you another day, "Yao Xuefei snorted and said," Hubby, I miss you so much. I even dream about you. "
Li Ruiqi said, "Oh, you even dreamed of me? What did you dream of? " Yao Xuefei laughed shyly and said, "I dreamed of you …" Li Rui couldn't help but laugh and said, "You actually dreamed of that?" Yao Xuefei said, "What I think of in the day, I dream of it at night." Li Rui laughed and said, "Good girl, you're actually thinking of this in broad daylight. You're really shameless." Yao Xuefei laughed and said, "I just want to be intimate with my hubby, can't I? It's not like I want to be intimate with another man. "Li Rui said," Okay, I'll make your dream come true another day. "Yao Xuefei said angrily," Don't just say it but don't do it. You're making me dream of it. "Li Rui laughed and said," Don't worry, drive slowly on the way back. Come, hubby will give you a goodbye kiss! "
The two of them kissed passionately before reluctantly parting ways.
Li Rui watched her drive away before returning home to rest.
In the blink of an eye, it was Friday again.
That day, a distinguished guest came to the city. It was Yang Yulan, the Executive Vice Minister of the Publicity Department of the Provincial Party Committee. She led a team to Qingyang City to investigate the construction of grassroots culture.
Although this Executive Vice Minister's rank wasn't high, being the same as Song Chaoyang, she was still a leader from the province and represented the Publicity Department of the Provincial Party Committee. She could be considered a god. Therefore, Song Chaoyang didn't dare to be arrogant. He specially took time out to meet her to make sure that he didn't lose face. Afterwards, Yang Yulan, accompanied by the Executive Vice Minister of the Publicity Department of the Municipal Party Committee, Han Ming, went to a street office in the northern district of the city to investigate. The mayor of the northern district of the city and the leader of the Publicity Department also accompanied them.
Yang Yulan investigated for an entire day. At night, she was arranged to rest in the VIP building of the Qingyang Hotel. But before she rested, Qingyang City arranged a sumptuous banquet for her.
Song Chaoyang sent Li Rui as his representative to accompany Yang Yulan and the Publicity Department Head, Zheng Zijuan, who had just returned from her investigation in the suburbs.
The banquet was held in a private room in the Qingyang Hotel's VIP hall. There were four people in total, including Yang Yulan and the people she brought. Li Rui, Zheng Zijuan, and Han Ming were accompanying Qingyang City. The people from the Publicity Department of the northern district of the city had already eaten lunch with Yang Yulan.
Yang Yulan was in her fifties. Her short hair was shiny, but it couldn't hide the wrinkles on her face. She always had a straight face and didn't smile. It was as if everyone owed her hundreds of thousands of dollars. As soon as she sat down, she glanced coldly at Zheng Zijuan and said, "Department Head Zheng, you're really busy. I can only see you at night."
Zheng Zijuan could tell that she was picking on her, so she quickly smiled and said, "Department Head Yang, I went to the suburbs yesterday to do some research. I didn't know that you were coming, so I rushed back as soon as I received the news. If I knew that you were coming, I wouldn't have gone anywhere. I would've waited for you at the Municipal Party Committee. Haha, I'll propose a toast to you later to express my apology. "Yang Yulan acted as if she didn't hear her and started chatting with the people around her.
Zheng Zijuan's expression became very awkward after being snubbed.
Li Rui saw this and felt indignant for Sister Zheng. Actually, he didn't like Yang Yulan from the first time he saw her. He thought to himself, "You're just a department head. Why are you showing off your authority? If you show off your authority at the grassroots level, the people there will treat you like a god. They will be respectful to you and make you happy. But we are at least at the city level and have seen big shots. Even the deputy director of the Provincial People's Congress, Gao Guotai, was polite when he saw me. He didn't have the slightest bit of authority. You tell me, old woman, why are you so arrogant?
After the banquet started, Li Rui and the others, as the hosts, naturally had to propose a toast to Yang Yulan and the others.
Li Rui came as a representative of the Municipal Party Committee's Secretary, Song Chaoyang. Naturally, he was the first to propose a toast. He stood up with the cup in his hand and said some polite words to Yang Yulan with a smile on his face. Yang Yulan clinked glasses with him gently. She brought the glass of red wine to her lips and took a sip.
Li Rui sat back down with a smile on his face. However, he hated this woman even more. He thought to himself, "I'm representing the Song Chaoyang to propose a toast to you. It's fine if you don't drink with me, but you only moisten your lips. You're looking down on me."
However, he soon realized that he wasn't the one who received the worst treatment.
Zheng Zijuan waited until Yang Yulan ate two mouthfuls of food before standing up to propose a toast to her. She handed over the wine glass in her hand and eagerly waited for this superior from the province to propose a toast to her. However, Yang Yulan didn't raise her glass at all. She said indifferently, "I can't hold my liquor, so I won't be drinking."
Not to mention government officials, even if one really couldn't or didn't want to drink, one would still be polite and put on a show of politeness. There was absolutely no one like Yang Yulan, who didn't even raise her glass and even spoke sarcastically. This was practically a slap in the face, a slap in the face.
These words immediately made Zheng Zijuan's face turn red. She froze in place. She didn't know whether to stand or sit down. It was very awkward.
When Li Rui saw that his good sister was embarrassed, he also felt angry. He was secretly furious. If it wasn't for the fact that the other party was a big shot from the province, he had to talk to her face to face. He secretly suppressed his anger and put on a smile on his face. He stood up and raised his glass. He said to Zheng Zijuan, "Director Zheng, then let's toast to Director Yang's colleagues together." Zheng Zijuan saw that he helped her out of the situation and looked at him gratefully. She smiled and said, "Okay, then let's represent the Municipal Party Committee and the Publicity Department to express our welcome and respect to the leaders from the province."
Yang Yulan's subordinates didn't dare to be as arrogant as Zheng Zijuan. After all, Zheng Zijuan was a member of the Municipal Party Committee's Standing Committee. She was so young and could be promoted at any time. How could they offend her? Even if they knew that the leader didn't like her, they still had to give her face. They all stood up and returned the toast.
After a while, the Deputy Director of the Publicity Department of the Municipal Party Committee, Han Ming, also stood up and toasted Yang Yulan. Yang Yulan seemed to be deliberately angering Zheng Zijuan. Not only did she clinked glasses with him, but she also smiled and praised him. She thanked him for accompanying her on her research and took a big sip.
It was fine if she didn't play this trick, but when she did, Zheng Zijuan and Li Rui were furious. Zheng Zijuan lowered her head. She was so angry that her face turned pale. Li Rui saw that she was angry and sympathized with her. He also wanted to stand up for her. He thought about how to help her vent her anger. Even if he couldn't embarrass Yang Yulan in front of her, he wanted to make her lose face.
During the banquet, Zheng Zijuan went to the washroom. Li Rui wanted to whisper to her, so he took the opportunity to sneak out.
The two of them met at the sink in the washroom. They looked at each other and smiled bitterly. Li Rui pulled her to a corner outside the washroom and said angrily, "Sister Zheng, this old woman is really shameless. You clearly explained that you went out for research and couldn't accompany her. Moreover, even if you were at home, you're only one level lower than her. You don't need to accompany her for research. Why does she hate you? Seeing that she's embarrassing you, I really want to send her flying with a kick. " Zheng Zijuan heard this and laughed. She gritted her teeth and said, "She dares to show off in front of me, Zheng Zijuan. What right does she have? I came to have dinner with her because I gave her face. If I didn't give her face, she wouldn't even see me. Hmph, she's so enthusiastic. She keeps making me lose face. I've never seen such a disgusting person. "
