Li Rui was stunned by her words. What's going on? The inspection is not over yet, and she wants to leave? And she wants to leave alone? She is not going back to the Provincial Capital with Qian Haibo and the rest? What the hell? What was going on? He asked, "Why are you leaving so suddenly? Aren't you going back with Governor Qian and the rest? "
Zhang Yizhi replied, "No, I have something urgent to attend to. I need to go back immediately. Get me a car."
It is not difficult for Li Rui to find a car. He hangs up the phone and asks Li Yulan to arrange a car for Zhang Yizhi.
When Li Yulan received this small task, she looked a little embarrassed. She said in a low voice, "We didn't drive an extra official car this time. The mayor and I have a car, but we need to use it later. I don't mind lending it to you, but the mayor doesn't have a car. He doesn't dare to borrow the county leader's car …"
Li Rui said decisively, "Okay, I will ask Mayor Fang to lend me a car."
Li Yulan said, "Mayor Fang is in front with Song Shuji and the rest. How about this? I will bring you to the County Leaders and ask them to find you a car." Li Rui brought him to the County Leaders and explained to the Deputy Secretary of the County Committee, Lu Jing.
Lu Jing heard that it is the Municipal Party Committee's First Secretary, Li Rui, who wants to borrow a car. She asked politely, "Director Li, do you want a big car or a small car?"
Li Rui said, "A small car is fine. Sorry to trouble you, Secretary Lu."
Lu Jing waved her hand repeatedly, indicating that he didn't have to be so polite. She instructed the staff beside her to take him to the car.
Li Rui turned and was about to leave when Hou Kun told Song Chaoyang something. Song Chaoyang nodded and walked out quickly. He called Li Rui, "Xiao Rui!"
Li Rui looked back and saw that it was his boss. He quickly went forward to wait for him.
Song Chaoyang said, "Secretary-General Hou said that Director Zhang of the provincial government's General Office has some urgent matters to attend to and must return to the provincial capital immediately. Find a car from the county to send her there."
This time, Song Chaoyang and other city leaders came with Qian Haibo. They also took the Toyota Coaster instead of their own car. Otherwise, Song Chaoyang would have asked the driver, Lao Zhou, to drive Zhang Yimiao in car number one. Although Zhang Yimiao was only a woman, she was also the deputy director of the provincial government's general office. She represented the province. As a subordinate, how could the city dare to neglect her?
Li Rui agreed, "Okay, I'll go find a car first."
He misunderstood. When Song Chaoyang said "find a car to send her back," he meant to find a car and ask the driver to send Zhang Yiliu back. He misunderstood it as finding a car and driving it himself to send Zhang Yiliu back. Of course, with his relationship with Zhang Yimiao, he was happy to understand it this way. However, he understood it subconsciously and did not have any selfish motives.
Li Rui then called Zhang Yimiao and the staff assigned by Lu Jing to look for a car at the place where the motorcade was parked. Soon, they found a silver Buick Triumph official car. When the driver heard that the city leaders wanted to borrow it, he immediately handed over the keys.
After thanking the driver, Li Rui and Zhang Yimiao sat in the driver's seat and drove out of the villa to the road outside.
"What's going on? Why are you in such a hurry to return to the provincial capital? "
At this moment, Li Rui finally had time to ask the question in his heart.
Zhang Yimiao said anxiously, "I just received a call from my daughter's class teacher. She said that my daughter was injured by a classmate and was bleeding. Fortunately, the school's infirmary has already treated it, so I don't have to worry. However, as the child's mother, how can I not be worried? I can't wait to go to school to see her. Drive faster. "
Li Rui looked at the time. It was already past three o 'clock. He asked curiously, "You still want to go to school to see her? It's already past three o 'clock. It will take you at least three or four hours to get back to the provincial capital. By the time you get there, your daughter should have been taken home from school. Why do you still want to go to school? "
Zhang Yimiao shook her head and said, "You don't know. I just transferred my child to an aristocratic primary school. The school is completely closed and boarding. She only has two days off at the end of the month. The parents can only take her home for two days."
Li Rui was surprised and amused. He said, "With your status, why do you want your child to go to an aristocratic school? You can choose the best public primary school in the provincial capital. "
Zhang Yimiao said, "The public primary school is not good at all. The things they teach are too backward and useless. Even if the child goes to the public school, she will only study in a domestic university. How can it be compared to a foreign university? I plan to let the child learn English well in an aristocratic school so that she can study abroad after graduating from high school. It just so happens that I am too busy with work. The child's grandparents are old and can't take her to school. It's best to let her go to a boarding school. But I didn't expect the child in the aristocratic primary school to be so bad. He actually beat her until she bled. Humph, when I find the murderer later, I will definitely not forgive him! Does he think that my daughter is easy to bully? "
After saying this, she was so angry that she gritted her teeth. Suddenly, she realized something and raised her hand to hit him. She said angrily, "Hey, drive your car properly. Drive faster. Why are you asking so much?"
It would have been better if she didn't say this. Once she said this, Li Rui simply stepped on the brake and slowly stopped the Buick by the side of the road.
Zhang Yimiao was surprised and curious. She stared at him with her beautiful eyes, wondering why he stopped the car.
Li Rui smiled at her and said, "You want to go back to the provincial capital as soon as possible, right?"
Zhang Yimiao's pretty face sank. She said, "Stop smiling at me. I'm not in the mood to play with you. Are you going to drive or not? If not, get out of the car. I'll drive myself. It's not like I don't know how to drive! "
She was really angry. The word "get out" in her words was not in a joking tone as usual. It was mixed with anger.
Li Rui saw that she was angry, but he was not in a hurry. He smiled and continued, "Your plan is to drive to Qingyang first, and then take the train back to the provincial capital from Qingyang. That's the fastest way, right? In this way, it will take two hours to drive, half an hour to wait for the train, and half an hour to take the train. That's a total of three hours. This is not the fastest way. "
Zhang Yimiao finally understood that he stopped the car for another reason. She raised her eyebrows and asked, "Then what is the fastest way?"
Li Rui raised his hand and pointed behind him. He said, "North of here is Wutai County in Yunbei City of Shanbei Province. It will take an hour to drive there. After passing Wutai County, Yunbei City is 30 miles north. In other words, we can get to Yunbei City in an hour and a half. Then we can take the train from Yunbei City to Jingnan. That's about an hour. It's about two and a half hours in total. It's half an hour faster than taking the train from Qingyang."
Zhang Yimiao was confused by his calculation. She said in a daze, "Why do I feel like we're taking a detour?"
Li Rui said, "It doesn't matter if it's a detour or not. It's faster than your route anyway."
Zhang Yimiao did not have time to think too much. She said, "Then I'll listen to you. Let's drive quickly."
Li Rui nodded. He turned the car around and drove north along the Fairy River.
It was the second time in his life that he drove to Wutai County. The last time was on a stormy night a year ago. In order to avoid the flood, he took his old boss Yuan Jingjing, his father-in-law Lu Zhouxing, and his godsister Bai Bing to Wutai County for the night. A year had passed in a hurry. The mountains were still the same, and the river was still the same, but the people were no longer the same.
It was worth mentioning that they drove in the middle of the night in a rainstorm, so it took more than an hour to get there. This time, it was sunny and daytime. The road conditions were excellent, so it would not take so long. Li Rui and Zhang Yimiao said that it would take an hour to get to Wutai County, but it was still an exaggeration. If there were no cars on the road, they might arrive in half an hour.
Along the way, Zhang Yimiao did not speak. Her face was livid. She pursed her lips and looked at the road in front of her.
Li Rui occasionally glanced at her. From her expression, he could see that she was full of anger. It was estimated that in a few hours, the little murderer would be unlucky. But then again, Zhang Yiyao was not a vicious and cruel person, and the other party was just a child. Therefore, in the end, it was very likely that she would not be able to do anything to the other party. At most, she would just teach him a few words. Could it be that she could really beat the little guy up and make him bleed?
Maybe because Qian Haibo, the executive deputy governor, came to Jiupo Town, the road to Wutai County was also affected by the traffic control. There were no cars on the road. Li Rui drove at a speed of 150 km/h, only slowing down at corners or dangerous places. As expected, they arrived at Wutai County in less than half an hour. It took them another 20 minutes to get to Yunbei City Railway Station. This was already 40 minutes shorter than the planned time.
Zhang Yimiao parked the car in a pay parking lot next to the railway station. Before Li Rui turned off the engine, she pushed the door open and got off the car. She went to the station to buy tickets.
Li Rui smiled and shook his head. He turned off the engine, got off the car, and locked the car. Looking around, he squatted on the ground and pretended to tie his shoelaces. He quietly stuffed the car key into the inside of the left front tire of the car. He did not intend to take the train back to Yunbei from Jingnan after he finished with Zhang Yimiao. Then, he would take the car back to Shuanghe County. He was not so free, and he was not so pedantic. Compared to the leaders of Shuanghe County, he was a leader in the city. Of course, he had to take advantage of this identity to find some benefits for himself.
After hiding the key, he quickly caught up with Zhang Yimiao and called Li Yulan. After she answered, he asked her to tell Lu Jing, the deputy secretary of the Shuanghe County Committee, or Fang Qingyun, the county magistrate, to send someone to pick up the car. He also told her the location of the key.
There were many idle people in the county. Not to mention others, just the drivers in the offices of the county committee and county government had nothing to do all day. Anyway, they were idle. What was there to be afraid of if they came to Yunbei to pick up the car? Maybe there were cadres in the county in Yunbei. That would be better. They could just drive back … Of course, Li Rui did not worry about these details. Since the problem had been left to Shuanghe County, there was no need for him to think more.
