When he got home, Li Jianmin asked curiously, "What are you busy with?"
Li Rui sighed and said, "Someone is spreading rumors to slander and frame the Song Shuji …" He then told him the purpose of Lu Jintong and Wang Dong's visit, as well as the content of their conversation.
Li Jianmin was shocked and sighed, "The Song Shuji is such a good leader. How could someone spread rumors about him?" He then thought of something and exclaimed, "Aiya, this won't affect the Song Shuji, will it? Will the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection investigate the Song Shuji? "
Li Rui smiled and said, "That won't happen. The Song Shuji is the favorite of Secretary Huang of the Provincial Party Committee. Without Secretary Huang's permission, how could the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection investigate the Song Shuji? Besides, this is just a rumor. Without solid evidence, the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection won't rashly open a case for investigation. Of course, there will be some negative effects. We have to find the person who spread the rumor as soon as possible. Otherwise, the Song Shuji's reputation will be ruined when the rumor spreads everywhere. "
Li Jianmin frowned and said, "Who would do such a wicked thing?"
Li Rui said, "I don't know yet, sigh." He then went back to his room to change his clothes. He was injured, so he couldn't take a shower. It saved him a lot of trouble. He could just use a towel to clean himself later.
Li Jianmin stayed outside and muttered, "I feel like this was done by a woman. Only those gossipy women like to spread rumors and stir up trouble …"
Li Rui's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. However, he thought about the women around Song Chaoyang. None of them would do such a thing. After analyzing, Yu Heping was the biggest suspect. But then again, this kind of thing couldn't be calculated according to common sense. After all, this wasn't a commoner, but an official. In the official world, there were big schemes and tricks. One couldn't assume that a woman did something just because some methods were despicable and shameless. Many men were more despicable and shameless than women. Yu Heping was a typical example.
The next day, there was no news from Wang Dong from morning till night. He probably hadn't found the person who spread the rumor. However, this was also within Li Rui's expectations. Since ancient times, from within the country to overseas, the author of a rumor was the most difficult to find. After all, the rumor spread by tens of thousands of people, from tens of miles to thousands of miles. In the end, the rumor would become unrecognizable. it was very difficult to find the origin, let alone the source..
It would probably take a few days, or even more than ten days, to find anything. Furthermore, Wang Dong still had his own work to do as the Secretary of the Subdistrict Committee. Fortunately, the rumor was only limited to a very small area. It hadn't spread to the entire city yet, so there was still enough time to investigate.
Today, an agenda was confirmed. The Executive Vice-Governor, Qian Haibo, who had long since said that he would be coming to the city to check on the progress of the preparations for the "VIP Meeting", would be coming this Friday.
When Song Chaoyang received this news, he didn't panic. This was because he had already arranged for two inspection teams to check on the schedule and content of the "VIP Meeting" in the city. One would be in the city to check on the progress of the preparations for the "VIP Meeting", while the other would go to Shuanghe County's Jiupo Town to check on the progress of the "VIP Meeting"'s main venue and the layout of the site. Furthermore, both inspection teams had already completed their tasks and returned with good results. They could completely withstand the inspection, so they weren't worried that Qian Haibo would find any problems during the inspection process.
Time flew by like a white steed, and it was soon Friday.
Just after nine o 'clock in the morning, Qian Haibo's official car had already arrived at the Qingyang Prefecture's courtyard. The city's leaders, led by Song Chaoyang and Yu Heping, formed a semicircle under the stairs of the building to welcome the arrival of the Executive Vice-Governor.
Li Rui stood together with the city's secretary-general and other officials, behind the semicircle formation of the leaders. There were twenty to thirty people in the front and back groups, but they were extremely quiet and didn't speak a single word.
There were police guards at the city's entrance, and traffic control had already been implemented on the Red Flag Street outside. There were four or five traffic police on duty at every intersection. It was exactly the atmosphere and scene of the arrival of the chief.
Li Rui had already seen the majesty of the provincial chief many times. He thought to himself, "This is what a real man should be like!"
This time, Qian Haibo didn't take the number four provincial car that belonged to him. Instead, he shared a Toyota Coaster with his entourage. This type of car was also the type of car that the government bought the most for multiple people. The interior was comfortable, the appearance was low-key, and the performance was superb. Although it couldn't be said to be cheap, it was enough to be called a fine product.
After the door opened, the provincial government's security personnel closest to the door got out first and stood outside to protect Qian Haibo. Then, Qian Haibo's secretary got out of the car and stood at the door to help Qian Haibo out. After that, the entourage came out one by one.
When Song Chaoyang saw Qian Haibo getting out of the car, he hurriedly went forward to welcome him. Qian Haibo smiled and said something to him, then extended his hand to shake his, showing a more intimate attitude.
There wasn't much to see in this scene. When Li Rui was about to turn his gaze away, he saw another person get out of the car behind Qian Haibo. It was a woman. This woman was about thirty-six or thirty-seven years old. She was tall and beautiful, and her beautiful face was fair and flawless. Her temperament was cold and outstanding. Even if she deliberately wore a plain white and black dress, it still couldn't hide her stunning charm. When this woman appeared, it was as if the moon had descended and she immediately attracted the attention of many.
Li Ruixin's head throbbed, but the corner of his mouth revealed a surprised smile. Oh, he really didn't expect this sister to come. This time, he wouldn't be lonely.
After the woman got out of the car, she quietly stood behind Qian Haibo. Her gaze was indifferent as she looked forward. At some point, she seemed to feel Li Rui's burning gaze. She slightly tilted her head, and their eyes met.
Li Rui winked at her, but she acted as if she didn't see him. She turned her beautiful eyes and looked back at Qian Haibo and Song Chaoyang. She completely ignored Li Rui's little movements. However, the flirtatious look in her eyes was unparalleled in her generation, causing people to be infatuated with her.
Li Rui knew that she was trying to avoid arousing suspicion, but he was secretly angry. He thought to himself, How dare you ignore my gaze, Zhang Yimiao. If I have the chance today, I'll spank your ass until it's swollen.
The beautiful woman was none other than Zhang Yimiao, one of the deputy directors of the provincial government's General Office.
Zhang Yimiao was the deputy director of the provincial government's General Office, not the deputy secretary of the provincial government. The deputy secretaries of the provincial government's General Office were basically dedicated to serving a Deputy Governor, which was also the "big secretary" of the Deputy Governor. The deputy director of the General Office was not dedicated to serving the Deputy Governor, but was only responsible for the branch work of the General Office. However, she also came to Qingyang City as Qian Haibo's entourage, which was a bit puzzling.
However, Li Rui wasn't too surprised by this, because part of the idle work of the "CEO Meeting" this time was handled by Zhang Yimiao. For example, the Provincial Party Secretary, Huang Xinnian, wanted to hire a celebrity for this meeting as an ambassador. This job fell on Zhang Yimiao's head. Li Rui helped her with this matter. In the end, he invited the celebrity philanthropist Gu Jinle through the famous director Fang Junde. She should have a corresponding task or something to do this time.
In the circle of people, under the introduction of Song Chaoyang, Qian Haibo had already finished shaking hands with the members of the welcoming team. The cadres brought by Qian Haibo, such as the director of the Provincial Poverty Alleviation Office, Song Chaoyang, and the deputy secretary of the provincial government, Hou Kun, were repeating the process. Song Chaoyang took the opportunity to report to Qian Haibo about the city's arrangement and asked for his opinion — whether to listen to the progress report of the "CEO Meeting" in the city first, or go to Shuanghe County's Jiupo Town to check the main venue first.
Before Qian Haibo could express his opinion, the acting mayor, Yu Heping, took the opportunity and interrupted with a sincere expression, "Governor Qian, I suggest you listen to the report first. After all, you must be tired from the journey here from the provincial capital. You should listen to the report first and take a rest. We'll go to Shuanghe County in the afternoon. What do you think?"
These words made Song Chaoyang roll his eyes. Without Yu Heping's words, there was no problem with his previous request. With Yu Heping's words, it seemed that he didn't care about Qian Haibo. He didn't know how to be a subordinate, and he didn't know how to be a person. However, Yu Heping's image was instantly improved because of this considerate words. At least in Qian Haibo's mind, Yu Heping would be a good subordinate who cared about his leader and was worth cultivating and putting in an important position.
One sentence, two heavens!
Song Chaoyang cursed Yu Heping's shamelessness in his heart. If Yu Heping wants to please Qian Haibo, go ahead and do it, but don't step on my head to do it. Well, not only did you please Qian Haibo, the fourth chief in the province, but you also stepped on me, the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, under your feet. Only Yu Heping would do such a despicable act. He was really shameless. He felt depressed and wronged in his heart, but he couldn't refute or explain. Once he opened his mouth to explain, he would make a big problem out of this insignificant issue and make an even bigger joke. He could only pretend that he didn't hear anything.
Qian Haibo didn't expect Yu Heping to suddenly butt in and say such a thing. After hearing this, he secretly praised this person's cleverness and nodded, "Alright, I'll listen to Mayor Yu."
Thus, the schedule for the day was set. In the morning, they would have a meeting in the Municipal Government's conference room to listen to the progress report of the Qingyang Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government on the preparation of the "CPC Council". In the afternoon, they would go to the main venue in Shuanghe County's Jiupo Town to check on the preparations for the main venue.
In the medium-sized conference room of the Municipal Government, Qian Haibo's group, Song Chaoyang, Yu Heping, and other team members sat around the long oval conference table. Yu Heping presided over the meeting and made a report to Qian Haibo.
Li Rui, the middle-level leaders of the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government, the leaders of the Municipal Poverty Alleviation Office, the secretaries, and others sat on the chairs against the wall, holding a notebook and making notes.
