Unfortunately, at that time, he was satisfied with the initial joy of establishing a foothold in Qingyang City. He was busy with the city's poverty alleviation campaign and was in high spirits to design the "Five-one-one Project", so he neglected the review of the city's top ten construction projects of the year.
After being criticized by Huang Xinnian, Song Chaoyang was extremely annoyed. He called Li Rui in and expressed his dissatisfaction. Of course, after he had expressed all his dissatisfaction, he began to make a review. It was not only to remind himself, but also to warn Li Rui that if he encountered similar projects in the future, he had to be very careful. He could not ignore or treat it half-heartedly because he thought that it had nothing to do with him. Unless he really had nothing to do with the project, whether it was good or bad, and if something went wrong, he could ignore it.
Then, an emergency meeting of the Municipal Party Committee's Standing Committee was held. Whether it was the members of the Standing Committee working overtime or resting at home, all of them were called to the Municipal Party Committee's Standing Committee meeting room to discuss this matter.
The first step was, of course, to suspend the project. Needless to say, the Municipal Government had also issued a notice to the project owner. At this stage, the construction units in all four directions of Qingyang City had stopped.
The second step was to put out the fire. Find the person who proposed the project back then and ask him to contact the research and design unit. It would be best if he could come up with an evaluation of the income that would be brought after the ancient city wall was restored. With the income that would make people jealous, he would ruthlessly slap the faces of Professor B, the CCTV host, the deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, and the fans who supported Professor B in the face. However, if the income evaluation was not good enough, or there was no income, then simply admit defeat and cancel the project. Then, ask the Internet experts to remove the negative information on the Internet.
The third step was to make a thorough review to the provincial government. Regardless of the final conclusion and result of this matter, at least now, it had affected the provincial authorities in charge and brought a lot of negative social impact to Shannan Province and Qingyang City. This obviously required an explanation, so the leaders of Qingyang City had to collectively make a review to the provincial government and express their attitude to appease the provincial leaders. In fact, this was the most important step. The public opinion on the Internet, the opinions of the big names, and the opinions of the netizens were not important. What was important was the attitude of the provincial leaders. As long as they were not angry or even happy, this matter would not be a big deal.
After a busy afternoon, Song Chaoyang finally got off work and went home in a depressed mood. Li Rui did not want to waste such a beautiful Sunday night, so he asked his goddess Ding Yijing to have a meal with him. After dinner, he planned something....
It was still the Drunken Immortal Restaurant. In fact, it could only be the Drunken Immortal Restaurant. Firstly, the taste of the Drunken Immortal Restaurant's dishes was indeed very good. Secondly, with Li Rui's identity, it was inconvenient for him to casually choose a restaurant to eat with a great beauty like Ding Yijing. Otherwise, if they were seen by anyone he knew, it could cause quite a bit of trouble. Furthermore, there weren't many restaurants in the city that could accept two people using a private room. Thus, after much consideration, the Drunken Immortal Restaurant was the most suitable.
Ding Yijing was dressed very fashionably today, and she also had the demeanor of an office lady. She wore a white shirt with a moderate neckline, revealing part of her sexy collarbone, but the cleavage below was not obvious at all. She looked very dignified and professional. Below, she wore a pair of loose black silk three-quarter trousers, revealing a small part of her slender calves. Below her round ankles, her snow-white feet were worn in a pair of black high heels, looking very charming. This outfit, coupled with her wavy curly hair and beautiful face, immediately outlined the image of a fashionable and cold white-collar woman, making people want to get close to her, but also feel ashamed of their inferiority.
Li Rui had not seen her for a long time, and when he saw her, his heart was filled with love. He got up, hugged her, and kissed her on the cheek.
Ding Yijing was so shy that her face turned red. She pushed him away and said, "Stop fooling around, the waitress is behind."
Li Rui was shocked and quickly let go of her. Sure enough, the waitress quickly walked into the private room and asked if they wanted to order now.
"My mom just opened a supermarket. After dinner, accompany me to take a look."
While they were eating, Ding Yijing suddenly blurted out this sentence.
Li Rui's first reaction was not surprise, but depression. He said with a bitter face, "Honey, I was planning to go back to our home after dinner to prepare some activities."
Ding Yijing understood the deeper meaning of his words. She was shy and amused. She glanced at him and pretended not to understand. She asked, "What kind of activities?"
Li Rui chuckled and said, "An activity that only the two of us can do."
Ding Yijing held back her laughter and kicked him under the table. She scolded, "I knew you didn't have good intentions when you asked me out … That kind of activity can be done anytime. We'll talk about it next time. Tonight, accompany me to take a look at the supermarket. I haven't been there yet."
Li Rui was not disappointed. As long as he was with this goddess, he would be happy physically and mentally. There was no need to do something happier. With their age, there would be plenty of opportunities and time to do it in the future. He was not in a hurry. He only frowned and asked, "You said that it's your mom's new supermarket. She'll definitely be there watching. If I accompany you and she sees us, won't it be inappropriate?"
Ding Yijing said faintly, "There's nothing inappropriate about it. It's not like she doesn't know about our relationship."
Li Rui thought about it and agreed. He nodded and agreed. After eating a few mouthfuls of food, he suddenly thought of something and asked curiously, "Isn't the supermarket retail market in the city monopolized by the new richest man in the city, Zhang Zheng's Jia Jia supermarket chain? As far as I know, there are nearly 20 stores of Jia Jia Supermarket in the city, and they are spread all over the city. Almost every street has at least one Jia Jia Supermarket. Many of the older supermarkets and shopping malls have closed down because they couldn't compete with it. Why would your mom think of opening a new supermarket? Isn't it like wasting money with nowhere to spend it? "
Ding Yijing was not distressed by this question. She said lightly, "Jia Jia supermarkets are very powerful and can be seen everywhere. However, they are not in every corner of Qingyang City. Do you know why those old supermarkets and shopping malls closed down? It's because they rented the space. With such a large space, the annual rent alone is hundreds of thousands or even millions. Their annual net profit is basically nothing after deducting the shop rent and workers' wages. They are even losing money. Gradually, of course, they can't do it anymore. But our family is different. "
Li Rui smiled and said, "I understand. You mean that the space of your mom's supermarket is not rented, but owned by her family. So with this, she can save a lot of money every year. She doesn't have to worry about not making money."
Ding Yijing nodded. She picked up a prawn for herself and another one for him, saying, "The Longjing prawns here are very delicious!"
Li Rui said, "I heard that Longjing shrimp is a Hangzhou dish. It's only authentic when it's fried with Longjing from West Lake. Let's go to West Lake one day and try the authentic taste of this dish."
Ding Yijing glanced at him and said, "I can go out at any time, but what about you? Don't you have to go to work? Don't you want your wife? Don't you care about your family? "
Li Rui sighed when he heard this. His good mood slowly dissipated. What is the greatest pain in the world? It's not that the person is gone, but the money is left. It's that the body and mind are not in control. However, he quickly pulled himself together and said, "Baby, I'll definitely take you to West Lake one day!"
After dinner, it was slightly past 7 pm. The two of them took Ding Yijing's car and drove to the supermarket. It didn't take long for them to arrive. The supermarket was called "Tian Hong Supermarket". It was located not far from Li Rui's house on Huaguang Road. It was also not far from Ding Yijing's house. It was located at the bottom of an office building on the south side of the road. From the outside, the space was not small. It was spacious and had at least six rooms. The decorations were very high-end. The transparent floor-to-ceiling windows showed the market inside. Under the bright lights in the store, it had the grandeur of a big supermarket.
Li Rui exclaimed when he got out of the car. He didn't expect Ding Yijing's mom's new supermarket to be so grand. Of course, instead of saying that the supermarket was grand, it was more appropriate to say that the space was spacious. With such a large space, it was definitely enough to renovate the place.
When Ding Yijing got out of the car and walked over, Li Rui asked softly, "Wow, when did your family have such a big shop? Just this shop alone is worth more than 10 million, right? "
Ding Yijing shook her head and said, "I don't know if it's more than 10 million. My dad bought it when he was still in office. Originally, the developer wanted to give this shop to my dad after it was built. However, my dad was too embarrassed to accept it. So, he bought it from the developer at a very low price. When he bought it, he spent a few million. Was it 2 million or 3 million? I don't remember clearly. "
Li Rui shook his head and sighed, "Aiya, Jing Jing, I suddenly feel that I'm not worthy of a rich and beautiful lady like you. I feel so ashamed standing beside you. No, I'd better leave. I don't want you to laugh at me."
Of course, Ding Yijing knew that he was trying to make her happy. Hearing this, she was very happy. Who didn't like to hear compliments? However, she reached out and held his arm and said, "Go to hell. No matter how valuable this shop is, it's still my dad's. It has nothing to do with me. I'm just a poor woman. Aren't I still relying on your money to support me?"
The two of them looked at each other and laughed at the same time. After this round of flattery, the two of them walked into the supermarket one after another.
