The two of them sent Zhang Yue off and returned to the restaurant. They weren't hungry anymore, so they didn't eat anymore.
Dong Jieyu asked, "When Guan Weiwei is being investigated by the Commission for Discipline Inspection, he won't reveal his cooperation with my brother, right?"
Li Rui shook his head and said, "Definitely not. First of all, Inspector General Dong is behind your brother. Secondly, I introduced your brother to him. He won't betray your brother just because of me. What's more, if he reveals his illegal income, he will be punished more. He won't be that stupid. "
Dong Jieyu was relieved and sighed, "My brother just took care of Guan Weiwei for a while, and then Guan Weiwei was demoted. Immediately, a new captain came up. My brother has to continue to take care of the new captain. Sigh, it's true that a new leader brings in new subordinates! "
Li Rui was silent. Looking at the world, where was it not like this? How could there be only one city's traffic police? Even in the Qingyang Hotel, Li Xiao Yue and Dong Jieyu's relationship was very close and harmonious. But after Dong Jieyu left, Li Xiao Yue would promote her own confidants. At the same time, she would intentionally or unintentionally neglect Dong Jieyu's confidants. This was inevitable. After all, China was still a society based on human relationships. If you say it was cruel, it had some human feelings. If you say it had human feelings, the reality was exceptionally cruel. It was quite interesting to talk about it.
On Friday night, Song Chaoyang went to the provincial capital to visit the provincial chief, Huang Xinnian. After about half an hour, he was sent out by Shi Peide. He walked to the car parked by the roadside in low spirits.
Although Li Rui didn't know what Huang Xinnian said to him, he knew that the purpose of his visit was to ask if the plan to close Miao Commercial Street was dead. He also knew that he must have asked Huang Xinnian. Considering his mood after he came out, it was probably really hopeless. He felt sad for him. Closing Miao Commercial Street was the most dazzling of the "five projects" that he was in charge of. If it was done, it would definitely be a great political achievement. But it was rejected by the provincial government. Anyone would be heartbroken. But then he thought about the impact that this change had on him, and he couldn't help but sigh.
In fact, the failure of the renovation plan of Miao Commercial Street didn't have any impact on him. What was affected was Chen Lihan who bought several shops on Miao Commercial Street... He originally wanted to let Chen Lihan make a fortune through the renovation of Miao Commercial Street. But man proposes, God disposes, the plan, plan. His beautiful's plan's, and his beautiful dream was ruined. Fortunately, the housing prices had been rising in recent years. Even if Guanmiao Street was not transformed into a commercial street, the prices of the shops would rise little by little. For Chen Lihan, it was just a matter of earning more or less.
"I have to tell Lihan when I go back!"
Li Rui secretly made up his mind. He hadn't seen her for a long time. It would be a lie to say that he didn't want to see her.
"Xiao Rui, you go back to your father-in-law's house. Lao Zhou and I will stay at home. We'll pick you up when we go back to Qingyang tomorrow. I still have some things to do, so I'll probably go back in the afternoon. "
Song Chaoyang said to Li Rui when they were about to get in the car.
Li Rui agreed. After watching them leave, he quickly walked to the second building.
"… His plan for the commercial street is very good. The only mistake is that it's not timely! In the big timeline, Qingyang, as an underdeveloped city, is working hard to alleviate poverty and strive to achieve poverty alleviation as soon as possible. The 'Poverty Alleviation Campaign' is well known in the province, and it has also attracted the attention of the Poverty Alleviation Office of the State Administration Council. In September, the Poverty Alleviation Office of the State Administration Council will send people to observe and study the campaign. Under such circumstances, it is not appropriate for Qingyang to invest a huge amount of money in the development of the commercial street. They can wait until they achieve a major victory in the poverty alleviation work. In the small timeline, because of the impact of the ancient city wall project, Secretary Huang and I are very worried that there will be more troubles in the development of the commercial street. If that happens, Qingyang and the province will be humiliated in the eyes of the people again. "
In the living room of the second building, Lu Zhouxing sat on the single-seater sofa at the head of the table and talked to his son-in-law, who was sitting next to him. Li Rui and Qingman sat on the sofa and listened to their father's teachings. He Suli sat next to Qingman and was focused on peeling an apple for her. Although the family of four was not lively, it was warm and harmonious.
Li Rui said to his father-in-law seriously, "The development of the Temple Commercial Street will be fully operated by the city government. The city government will not invest a single cent, so it's not a huge investment."
Lu Zhouxing smiled and waved his hand. "It's the same. No matter who invests, they will have to invest a few billion or even a few billion. This is a big project in any city, and it will become the target of public criticism. You know, there are still a lot of poor people in Qingyang City. The burden of poverty alleviation is heavy and the pressure is great. The city and county government will not be able to invest all of their resources in this project. How can they spare the energy to do such a project? It's better to do a solid job of poverty alleviation first. "
Li Rui smiled and said, "It's indeed a project. In fact, if we don't build this commercial street, no one will starve to death! Previously, the mayor of Shuanghe County, a poor county below us, also wanted to redevelop the county. He even carefully prepared a city construction plan. In the end, Song Shuji's suggestion was also to let him do a good job of poverty alleviation first. Once he achieved success in poverty alleviation or removed the label of a poor county, then we can talk about redeveloping the county. "
Lu Zhouxing smiled and said, "This Song Chaoyang is the same. If it's the same problem, he can see it clearly. If it's him, he can't see it. Isn't the construction of a poor county the same as the construction of a new commercial street in a poor city the same in essence?"
Li Rui nodded and sighed in his heart. His boss was a good person, but he couldn't escape the common problem of all the leaders in the country. He was fond of grandiose achievements and always liked to do some projects to show off. It was as if if he didn't do so, he wouldn't be able to show his ability. Of course, doing this would show his ability. At least, it could be used as capital to climb up the social ladder. Many leaders who cared about the people and worked seriously focused all their energy on enriching the people's money bags. In the end, they made the people rich and the county poor. They didn't have any achievements to show, so they weren't promoted. There were also some leaders who only did some projects to show off and didn't care about the lives of the people. Instead, they were promoted because of their "outstanding achievements".
Before going to bed, Qingman asked Li Rui again if he had been in contact with Zixuan recently. He said that he still couldn't get in touch with her. Her parents often called to ask about her. They sounded very worried, but they still couldn't find any trace of their daughter.
Li Ruixin said, "Hao Yalan, you deserve it. Now you know how to be worried. Why didn't you do it earlier? If you didn't force Zixuan to get married, she wouldn't have gone overseas. " He immediately told Qingman that he hadn't contacted Zixuan for a long time. Of course, this was also the truth. After Gao Zixuan went to America, she didn't contact him again.
Qingman said worriedly, "Did something happen to her?"
Li Rui said, "I don't think so. She's an adult. How could something happen to her so easily? Besides, if something really happened to her, her parents would have called the police already. They wouldn't need to ask you all day. Her parents must know. You don't have to worry so much. Just focus on your pregnancy. Be a good girl! "
Qingman said, "Her mother also said that she might have been forced to get married too much. That's why she went into hiding. She suspected that I hid Zixuan. Even if that wasn't the case, at least I knew the inside story. Who knew that Zixuan didn't tell me at all. I was also kept in the dark …"
"Okay, okay. Go to bed early. If you don't go to bed, I'll spank your butt …"
At the same time, on a commercial street not far from the City Hall in Philadelphia, it was ten o 'clock in the morning. The sun was shining brightly, and the big screen on the wall of the building was showing colorful advertisements. People of all colors walked on the street in a hurry. The subway, the shopping mall, the supermarket, and the fast food restaurant were all bustling with people. From time to time, there were groups of armed policemen patrolling the streets. It was a scene of a metropolis.
Gao Zixuan was wearing a pair of Dior sunglasses, a Gucci pink T-shirt, denim hot pants, a Louis Vuitton handbag, and a pair of white legs exposed. She was wearing a pair of red CL high heels, and she was holding a glass of Haagen-Dazs ice cream in her hand. She was sipping it as she walked into the Macy's department store by the roadside.
"Achoo …"
As soon as she walked into the store, Gao Zixuan sneezed because of the cold air inside. This sneeze caused her to spit out a small mouthful of ice cream that she hadn't swallowed. It sprayed on a middle-aged white woman who was about to walk out of the store.
The white woman with a round buttocks and a round belly exclaimed. She stopped and looked at the stain on her T-shirt. Then, she looked at Zixuan who had an apologetic expression. She smiled and shook her head helplessly.
"Sassy, short, sassy, very sassy …"
Gao Zixuan spat out three sassy words in a row. She looked at a Chinese woman behind her as if she was asking for help.
The woman was about thirty years old. She had shoulder-length black hair. Her appearance was average, and her clothes were very ordinary. When she saw Gao Zixuan looking at her, she quickly apologized to the white woman in English. Gao Zixuan also took out a tissue from her bag and gently wiped the white woman.
The white woman didn't intend to pursue the matter with Gao Zixuan. Seeing that she was so polite, she smiled and waved her hand, then walked out of the store.
"Phew!"
Gao Zixuan breathed a sigh of relief. She patted her chest and said, "Oh my God, I was scared to death. I was afraid that she would argue with me!"
The Chinese woman smiled and said in Mandarin with a Hong Kong accent, "She won't. White people are generally more cultured. In recent years, they have a better impression of us Chinese people. When it comes to this kind of thing, they usually won't make things difficult for Chinese people. But if you spit on a black American, you might not be so lucky. "
