In the afternoon, Li Rui received a call from Bai Shanshan. She questioned why he lied to her.
Li Rui smiled and said, "I didn't lie to you. I just didn't tell you my position, but I told you my actual position."
Bai Shanshan snorted and said, "You lied to me. You deliberately hid your position as a department head and pretended to be an ordinary officer."
Li Rui said, "I'm only a department head in name. It's just a department head position. It's nothing special. If I were really a department head, I would have told you. "
Bai Shanshan snorted and said, "Stop looking for excuses. Anyway, you've hurt my pure heart. You have to apologize."
Li Rui laughed and scolded her, "You stupid girl. I helped you settle Shang Xiao. It's fine if you don't thank me, but you want me to apologize? You're really not an ordinary unreasonable person. "
Bai Shanshan said, "That's that. I'll thank you another day for helping me, but you have to apologize for lying to me."
Li Rui sighed and said, "Okay, I'll apologize."
Bai Shanshan giggled and said, "I asked you to apologize, so you did. You're so obedient. I was just joking with you. You said I was your sister, but you're so obedient. It's like I'm your sister. I'll treat you to dinner tonight. That's a promise. "She was afraid that he would not agree and immediately hung up the phone.
Li Rui didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This girl really didn't stand on ceremony. She took advantage of him and took advantage of him. He hadn't even confirmed that she was his younger sister yet, but she suddenly climbed on top of his head and became his older sister. Even if she wanted to take advantage of him, she shouldn't take advantage of him like this.
That night, the Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Xiao Dawei, held a banquet at home and invited Song Chaoyang's family. Li Rui got off work on time and had time to meet Bai Shanshan.
Li Rui first went to the Qingyang Hotel to get his car. Then, he met up with Bai Shanshan, who was waiting outside. The two of them followed each other to the busiest street in the city, Heping Road. There was a Thai-style restaurant on that road. Bai Shanshan heard that Li Rui had never eaten there before, so she took him there to try something new.
When they arrived at the restaurant, Li Rui was shocked before he could see the environment inside clearly. He saw two women sitting at a table on the right side of the door. One of them was in her thirties, who was facing the door. She was dressed fashionably and had a beautiful appearance. She was wearing light makeup and looked very attractive. At this moment, she was pressing her hair down with one hand and lowering her head slightly to taste the food. She was a beautiful woman and had a ladylike temperament. Although her head was lowered, the angle was not high, so her beautiful face was exposed to outsiders.
Li Rui saw clearly that this woman was his former superior, Yuan Jingjing. He didn't know who the woman sitting opposite her was, but judging from her hairstyle and back, she looked somewhat familiar. He thought about how he was accompanying Bai Shanshan. If Yuan Jingjing saw him, even if she didn't fly into a rage, she would probably be very jealous. Since she wasn't looking at him, he hurriedly stopped, turned around, and walked out.
When he turned and walked out of the door, he heard the woman sitting opposite Yuan Jingjing say, "Jingjing, have you seen Director Li recently?" Her voice was not loud, but it was clear to hear. It was Yuan Jingjing's best friend, the former Director of the Administrative Reception Department of the General Office of the Municipal People's Congress, and the current Deputy Mayor of the Northern District, Qin Lina.
Yuan Jingjing raised her eyes slightly and shook her head. A trace of loneliness flashed across her beautiful face. "No." As she spoke, she saw a tall figure walking out of the door. She casually glanced at it.
Li Rui ran out of the door and returned to his car immediately to call Bai Shanshan.
Bai Shanshan had just sat down at an empty table under the guidance of the waiter. When she turned around and saw that Li Rui was gone, she was puzzled. She suddenly received a call from him. She was puzzled. She picked up and asked, "Where did you go?"
Li Rui said, "No, this Thai restaurant is too unique. The smell of the food makes me uncomfortable. I'm already out. Let's go to another restaurant."
Bai Shanshan was not annoyed. She smiled and said, "What's so strange about Thai food? It's not like this is Indian curry. But you're the guest, so you have the final say. Let's go to another restaurant." After saying that, she got up and apologized to the waiter and walked out.
At this time, Qin Lina was talking to Yuan Jingjing. "I was able to improve this time because Director Li helped me. I said that I would treat him to a meal to thank him. Unfortunately, I don't have enough influence with him. He always says that he's busy with work and refuses me. My good sister, help me ask him out. You have the most influence with him. If you ask him out, he definitely won't refuse. "
Yuan Jingjing hadn't seen Li Rui for many days. She missed him very much. When she heard Qin Lina praising her, she couldn't help but want to show off her close relationship with Li Rui in front of her to satisfy her little vanity. However, she pretended to be troubled and said, "He might really be busy. He might not be free even if I ask him out. Let me ask him first." Then she took out her phone and sent a message to Li Rui.
Li Rui was waiting for Bai Shanshan to get into the car outside when he suddenly received a text message. He took the phone and saw that it was from Yuan Jingjing. He thought that she had found out about him, so he was worried. After reading the content, he was relieved and replied to her.
Yuan Jingjing, who was in the restaurant, soon received the reply. She looked at it and said happily, "He said that he would make time in the next two nights, but it has to be after eight o 'clock."
A hint of jealousy appeared in the depths of Qin Lina's eyes. She praised, "It has to be you. No one else has such influence." Then she lowered her voice and asked mischievously, "How long have the two of you been together?"
Yuan Jingjing blushed at the question and said angrily, "Say something else."
Qin Lina said coquettishly, "No, I want to ask. Tell me, what else can't you tell me?"
Yuan Jingjing thought about it and said, "Not long …"
Qin Lina sighed, "You're really lucky to have found such a big shot as a good friend!"
Yuan Jingjing was very proud. It was sweeter than drinking honey. However, she said, "He's not a big shot. At most, he's a big shot. He's not even comparable to you, the deputy mayor."
Qin Lina shouted, "What are you talking about? I'm just a deputy mayor. Even if I'm the mayor, I can't compare to your Li Rui, let alone a deputy mayor. Also, he's tall and handsome. He must be very powerful, right? "
Her words were a little evil. Yuan Jingjing's face heated up and she scolded, "Go to hell. What does it have to do with me whether he's powerful or not? I didn't do anything with him."
Qin Lina giggled and whispered, "You've already kissed him, and you're still saying that you didn't do anything? Don't lie to me. We're both experienced people. There's nothing to be embarrassed about … Tsk tsk, I'm so envious. You're so lucky …"
Li Rui naturally didn't know that the two women were talking dirty. At this time, he was following Bai Shanshan's car to another restaurant on Zhongshan Road. He was very impressed with his alertness just now. If he had hesitated or been a little slow, Yuan Jingjing would have found out. At that time, no matter how he explained his relationship with Bai Shanshan, she definitely wouldn't believe him. If that happened, it would cause a rift in their relationship. That wouldn't be good …
Half an hour later, Li Rui was tasting delicious food with Bai Shanshan when he suddenly received a call from Kang Zhiwei.
Kang Zhiwei didn't call him for anything else. He just wanted to tell him that he had arrived in Shanghai and had settled down with Tang Su's help. He was currently living in Tang Su's villa in the suburbs. He ate and walked with her. Except for when she was filming, he was always by her side. He was the so-called personal bodyguard. Tang Su was also very satisfied with him. She planned to return the driver sent by the company and let him be her part-time driver.
Kang Zhiwei was very satisfied with this job and his current living situation. He thanked Li Rui greatly on the phone. After all, without Li Rui's recommendation and support, he wouldn't have been able to get such a good job.
Li Rui was happy to see that both master and servant were satisfied and happy. He politely hung up the phone.
After dinner, Li Rui thanked Bai Shanshan for treating him to dinner. He said goodbye to her and drove home. On the way home, he called Qingman and asked about her condition in the past two days. They chatted all the way home. When he got home, he saw that there were guests, and there was more than one.
There were two guests. One of them was his godfather, Luo Jintong. The other was a young man who was a few years old. He had a square face and big ears. He was sitting on the sofa and drinking water with his head lowered. He was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and dark trousers. He looked a bit like an official. Luo Jintong was talking to him. Li Jianmin was listening to them.
"Godfather!"
Li Rui greeted Luo Jintong first. Then he looked at the man with a smile and waited for Luo Jintong to introduce him. This person was very unfamiliar. He had never seen him before. Since Luo Jintong was talking to him, he must have been brought over by Luo Jintong.
When the man saw that Li Rui had arrived, his slender eyes lit up. He hurriedly stood up and extended his hands to Li Rui across the coffee table. He said in a humble tone, "Director Li, you're back. Hello, hello, I've heard a lot about you …"
Li Rui also extended his hands to him and shook his hands intimately. He said a few polite words.
Luo Jintong also stood up and introduced, "Xiao Rui, this is Wang Dong, the secretary of the Northern District's Gongchen Subdistrict's Party Committee. He heard that we are godparents, so he specially asked me to bring him over to see you. He wants you to help him with something. He didn't tell you in advance that he was coming. Please don't mind him. "
Li Ruixin said, "You've already brought him over, and you still want me to not mind him? Even if I do, it's useless." He said, "So it's Secretary Wang. Hello."
The Northern District's government was located in Gongchen Subdistrict. Because of this, Gongchen Subdistrict was the administrative center of the entire Northern District. Wang Dong was the secretary of this subdistrict's Party Committee. Although he was also a section chief, his position was clearly higher than the secretary of the other subdistricts and towns. Li Rui understood the reasoning behind this, but he was extremely puzzled. Why did Wang Dong ask him for help?
