Zhuang Haixia rolled his eyes and said, "Isn't it easy to explain? First, you may not be able to leave your name in the annals of history, but you can leave your name in Qingyang City. Qingyang City is currently the only university under construction, and there won't be a second one for a long time in the future. Therefore, as the architect of the first university, your name will be deeply engraved in the hearts of the people of Qingyang City. Second, although the name of this university doesn't sound good, as it's a branch campus, the investors are very rich. You can use your talent to your heart's content and design a unique university campus in the country. As long as you are willing, you can design all the buildings on the campus. This is definitely better than accepting a task from a university like Peking University or Tsinghua University.
Bi Xingguo smiled and said, "I don't know why, but although the three reasons you gave me are not worthy of scrutiny, I just like to hear them. Alright, just because you are a novelist, I'll agree to it today. "
Zhuang Haixia was very happy. He looked at Li Rui proudly and threw him a glance, as if to say, "See, I said it'll be easy, and it'll be easy."
Li Rui was also very happy. He stood up excitedly and said, "That's great, Professor Bi. On behalf of the Qingyang Municipal Party Committee, the Municipal Government, and on behalf of the six million people of Qingyang City, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you!" After saying that, he bowed deeply to him.
Bi Xingguo said, "You don't have to be so polite. This is also a matter of mutual benefit. However, there's something I don't understand. "
Li Rui hurriedly said, "Please speak."
Bi Xingguo asked, "Last time, when I bombarded my nemesis on Weibo, I also bombarded Qingyang City. I reprimanded Qingyang City for wasting taxpayers' money to rebuild and restore a completely meaningless ancient city wall. Logically speaking, your city leaders should hate me for not dying. Why did they invite me to help design a university building? The breadth of mind of the Green Sun Empire truly surprises me! "
Li Rui smiled and said, "Our city leaders have never hated you. Instead, they are very grateful that you have enlightened them. Furthermore, they have come in contact with you, a top expert in the field of construction in the country. They are shocked by your talent, so they sent us here to ask for your help."
Bi Xingguo nodded and said, "I've been busy for the past month. When I'm done, I'll take some time to go to Green Sun City and check the campus's terrain and environment. I'll understand the campus's architectural requirements and budget. Then, I can start the design. Give me your contact details so that I can contact you when I'm there … "
Walking out of the campus, Zhuang Haixia said proudly, "I helped you so much. How are you going to thank me?"
Li Rui smiled and said, "I'll listen to you. Whatever you say."
Zhuang Haixia rolled his eyes and pointed at the sun in the sky. "I want the sun in the sky."
Li Rui sneered and said, "Aren't you afraid of roasting me? Why don't you want the moon?"
Zhuang Haixia laughed and said, "The moon is fine too. It's only available at night. Tonight, you'll get the moon for me."
Li Rui shook his head and smiled. "You're calling me a monkey. What moon? I have to leave in the afternoon. Stop fooling around. Let's be serious. "
Zhuang Haixia said, "Let's be serious. Just treat me to a meal."
Li Rui sighed and said, "It's a pity that I'm not in Beijing. Otherwise, I'd treat you to a meal every day."
Zhuang Haixia narrowed his eyes and said, "You only know how to say nice things … Where are we going next?"
Li Rui took out his phone and said, "I'll ask where Professor Hua is. Let's go back to the car first." As he said that, he found Hua Jing's phone number and pressed the call button.
The call went through. Li Rui and Hua Jing exchanged a few pleasantries and asked where she was now. When Hua Jing heard that he was in Beijing, she was very happy. She asked him to go to the National School of Administration and said that she would treat him to lunch. Li Rui hung up the phone and told Zhuang Haixia their destination.
"The National School of Administration is in Suzhou Bridge. It's very close to here. Let's go!"
Zhuang Haixia said as he turned the steering wheel and drove off the side road. He merged into the main road and drove towards the south and west.
On the way, Li Rui called Xu Da again and asked him if Lin Meidian could come back today. Xu Da said that she couldn't. He still needed her to stay for two more days to provide more information. After that, he would send her back to Qingyang.
Li Rui knew that Lin Meidian would be fine with Xu Da accompanying her. He was no longer worried. He hung up the phone and sent a message to Sun Bo. He asked him to send his ID number so that he could buy a ticket for him.
Ten minutes later, the car arrived at the entrance of the National School of Administration. It was stopped by the electric gate and the armed police.
Li Rui got out of the car and explained the situation to the armed police. The armed police asked him to register at the gate. At the same time, they needed Hua Jing to confirm his presence as a visitor. Li Rui obediently walked to the concierge window to register. He then called Hua Jing and asked her to explain to the concierge. After a while, he finally got permission to enter the school. He returned to the car and let Zhuang Haixia drive him into the school.
When the car was parked downstairs, Li Rui looked at the local specialties he brought and frowned. "Let's not bring them up first, right?"
Zhuang Haixia said, "Yes. It won't look good if we bring them up. When we come down for lunch later, just put them in Professor Hua's car." Just as he finished speaking, his phone rang. He took it and looked at it. "You go up first. I'll take this call. I'll wait for you in the car."
Li Rui said okay and got out of the car. He walked to the gate.
A few minutes later, Li Rui saw Hua Jing. However, before he could feel the warmth and joy of a reunion between a teacher and a student, he was hit in the head by the sinister reality.
There was another person in Hua Jing's office. If this person was just an outsider, it would be fine. However, she was actually an old acquaintance of Li Rui. It was not wrong to say that she was an old lover. This woman was actually the beautiful Manchu reporter, Ma Ruoxi from the National Legal Newspaper.
In the first half of this year, there was an environmental pollution scandal in Dongshui Village, Donghe Street, North District of Qingyang City. Not only did a person die because of this incident, but the National Legal Newspaper was also concerned because of the wrong handling of the matter. The National Legal Newspaper sent two reporters to Dongshui Village for an interview. One of them was Ma Ruoxi. Li Rui was ordered to "settle" the two reporters. However, by coincidence, he had the most intimate relationship with Ma Ruoxi.
However, after that day, the two never saw each other again. They also did not contact each other. Although Ma Ruoxi said that Li Rui should contact her when he was in Beijing, Li Rui never contacted her after he went to Beijing so many times. The two seemed to treat each other as a temporary companion in their life journey. After dawn, they parted ways and did not mention the need to see each other again.
Because of this, Li Rui was shocked to see Ma Ruoxi in Hua Jing's office. He could not believe his eyes. His mind was in a mess, and he did not have the mind to think about why she was here.
Ma Ruoxi had a shawl around her shoulders, and she wore light makeup. Her face was fair, and her lips were red. Her face was extremely beautiful. She wore a black heart-shaped one-piece dress that hugged her buttocks. Her figure was perfectly accentuated, and she was sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed. Her snow-white long legs were crossed, and they were white and eye-catching. She wore a pair of black high heels on her feet, which made her figure even more graceful. She did not expect Li Rui to come in. She was sitting on the sofa calmly. When she recognized Li Rui, she was shocked and involuntarily stood up.
The two looked at each other and were stunned.
Hua Jing did not know that the two had known each other for a long time. When she saw them looking at each other, she hurriedly introduced, "Xiaoxi, this is the proud disciple I told you about in Shannan. Haha, he came to Beijing from Shannan to do some business and came to see me … Li Rui, this is not an outsider. This is my little daughter, Ma Ruoxi. You two get to know each other."
Li Rui was shocked. Ma Ruoxi was Hua Jing's daughter? One was his old lover, and the other was his teacher. Yet, the two of them were mother and daughter. Wasn't this too much of a coincidence? How could they be mother and daughter? Ma Ruoxi was bold and unrestrained. She was like a golden lotus. Hua Jing was dignified and elegant. She was an extremely quiet senior professor. How could they be mother and daughter? Even a storyteller would not dare to make up such a story. However, at this time, the two women's faces were somewhat similar. He thought hard. Should he admit that he had known Ma Ruoxi for a long time, or pretend that it was the first time he saw her and put on a show in front of Hua Jing?
While he was hesitating, Ma Ruoxi had already walked to him with a wicked smile. She took the initiative to give him her right hand and said, "Director Li, we meet again. What a coincidence!"
"Ah, she admitted that she knew me in front of Hua Jing!"
Li Ruixin's head jumped. He did not dare to think too much. He shook hands with her and said with a smile, "Yes, Reporter Ma. I didn't expect to see you here again. Are you busy recently?"
This time it was Hua Jing's turn to be surprised. She did not expect that the two little guys knew each other. However, one of them was in Beijing, and the other was in Shannan. How could they know each other? On second thought, oh, right. Her daughter often traveled around the country on business trips for interviews. Perhaps she met Li Rui when she went to Shannan. However, this was enough to surprise her. They knew each other in Shannan, and they could meet again in Beijing. This was fate.
She did not know that the relationship between her daughter and Li Rui was not as simple as fate.
Hua Jing waited for the two to finish shaking hands and greeting each other. She asked curiously, "You two know each other?"
