When he summoned Fang Qingyun, Fang Qingyun said that during this time, he had been living in the Tianlong Lake Villa International Conference Center in Jiupo Town and would stay there until the conference ended. Every day, his focus was on the preparation of the conference, the demonstration of the poverty alleviation projects in the nearby poor villages, the renovation and reconstruction of the disaster stricken villages, and the unified planning of the residential houses along the Fairy River. He hoped that no problems would arise between now and the end of the conference. Even if there were problems, he could command and solve them on the spot.
Song Chaoyang was highly appreciative of his approach and personally taught him many things.
After the two left, Song Chaoyang said to Li Rui with a heavy expression, "Although I'm very satisfied with the situation reported by Qingyun, I'm still not at ease. There must not be any problems. During this time, there have been many problems in the city and it has already caused the dissatisfaction of the main leaders in the province. If there are any problems at this juncture, not only will I not be promoted, I'm afraid I'll be criticized or even demoted. "
Li Rui deeply agreed. If there were any problems in the preparation of the conference, in the past, even if Huang Xinnian or Lu Zhouxing knew about it, they wouldn't criticize Song Chaoyang. However, after the ancient city wall incident and the rejection of the Temple Business Street plan, Song Chaoyang's impression in the eyes of the two provincial leaders had dropped a lot. If there were any problems at this time, he might really be criticized or even demoted. He suggested, "Then why don't you wait until tomorrow when you officially start work and take some time to check it out?"
Song Chaoyang waved his hand and said, "I'm only concerned about the big problems. My vision is limited, and if I go there, I'll be surrounded and disturbed. Even if I go incognito, I won't find anything good. How about this, you go to the conference preparation team tomorrow and select six or seven people to form an inspection team. You'll personally lead them to Jiupo Town and carefully inspect all aspects of the conference preparation process. You can inspect it openly, but it must be detailed and comprehensive. If you find any problems, you can ask Qingyun to immediately send people to rectify it. "
Li Rui said, "Okay, then I'll select the inspection team tomorrow morning and rush to Shuanghe for inspection."
At six o 'clock in the evening, Li Rui saw Chen Lihan, whom he had not seen for a long time, in the private room of the Drunken Immortal Restaurant. Chen Lihan's beautiful hair draped over her shoulders, and she wore light makeup. She wore an emerald green, sleeveless, V-neck slim dress, revealing her sexy collarbone and snow-white chest. She was proud of herself, and her slender, white legs were exposed. She wore a pair of white, hollow, buckled high heels, and more than half of her slender, white feet were exposed, showing off her slender figure. She stood up from the chair with a smile on her face, and her beautiful eyes were charming.
The two looked at each other and smiled. Even though they hadn't seen each other for a long time, the slight distance between them was completely wiped away by this smile.
"I want to apologize to you first. Some time ago, I tricked you into buying the shops on Guanmiao Street, saying that Guanmiao Street would be transformed into a commercial street and the value of the shops would increase greatly. But now there's a new change. The Provincial Development and Reform Commission didn't approve the plan, so … the pie I painted for you didn't come true. But you won't lose money because the overall price of the shops is rising."
After sitting down, Li Rui apologized and explained to Chen Lihan with an awkward expression. This was also the main reason he asked her out this time.
Chen Lihan didn't have any anger or dissatisfaction after hearing it. She wasn't even surprised. She smiled and said, "Why are you apologizing? I told you earlier that I'm not after huge profits, but to enjoy the process of appreciation. Now that the appreciation process has slowed down, I can enjoy it for a longer time. I'm actually happier. "
Li Rui also knew that with her assets, she didn't care about the losses caused by this new change. But who didn't like to earn more money? Who was willing to see their investment go to waste? She said this mainly to comfort him. He was secretly touched and couldn't help but reach out to hold her hand. He sighed and said, "Lihan, you're so nice!"
Chen Lihan looked at him tenderly and said, "You're very nice too!"
The two looked at each other affectionately. Even though they didn't say anything, it was as if they had already said a thousand words. At this moment, their feelings for each other deepened.
After the dishes were served, the two picked up food for each other and chatted as they ate and drank. The atmosphere was warm and romantic, intoxicating.
Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. Chen Lihan suddenly received a call. After listening to it, her face darkened. She silently hung up the phone and got up to grab her bag. She apologized to Li Rui and said, "I'm really sorry. There's something urgent and I have to leave immediately. I can only … I can only arrange another time."
Li Rui noticed the change in her expression and asked with concern, "What happened? Do you need my help? "
Chen Lihan smiled and slowly shook her head. She said, "No need. It's a family matter. You can't help."
Li Rui sighed and said, "Alright, then you go first. I'll pay the bill."
Chen Lihan saw the disappointment on his face and felt guilty. She faintly said, "I'm really sorry. I didn't let you eat well …"
Li Rui forced a smile and walked behind her. He gently pushed her shoulder and pushed her towards the door. He said softly, "Hurry up and leave. Do you still need to say such things to me?"
Chen Lihan walked to the door and looked at him apologetically. She said, "Then I'll be leaving." She opened the door and walked out.
Li Rui returned to the table and picked up his briefcase. He could still smell the fragrance of the beauty's perfume. His heart rippled. He shook his head and went to the front desk to pay the bill.
After taking a few steps out of Zuixian Restaurant, Li Rui raised his head and was surprised to see that Chen Lihan's white Land Rover was still there. She was sitting in the driver's seat and looking at him. The lights in the driver's seat were still on, reflecting her beautiful face.
The two of them looked at each other. Li Rui felt as if she was reluctant to leave him. His heart skipped a beat and he quickly walked over to the driver's side of the Land Rover.
Chen Lihan had already lowered the window. When she saw him coming over, she smiled at him happily and said coquettishly, "Are you in a hurry to go home? If you're not in a hurry, can you accompany me? I'm a little scared. "
Li Rui was surprised and happy. He walked around the front of the car and opened the door to the passenger's seat. He asked curiously, "What are you afraid of? Didn't you say it's a family matter? "
Chen Lihan furrowed her brows and shook her head. "It's not a family matter. It's about my husband … Wu Ziqiang. He just called me and said that he lost a lot of money in a game of cards. Now the other party won't let him go and wants me to rush over to save him. Otherwise, they'll cut off his hand!"
Li Rui was shocked. "There's actually such a thing? Why didn't you tell me that such a big thing happened? "
Chen Lihan was extremely ashamed. She said timidly, "It's a family matter after all. It's also a scandal. How could I tell you?"
Li Rui smiled. "Then why are you willing to tell me now?"
Chen Lihan blushed and said, "I thought that those people might be from the underworld. I was a little scared, so I wanted to ask you to come with me … But you don't have to follow me to their house. Just accompany me downstairs. With you around, I'll feel more at ease. Also, if they catch me and don't let me go, you can still save me. "
Li Rui chuckled and said, "Let's go! Just as I was feeling bored tonight, someone took the initiative to deliver a show to me. That's great. "
Chen Lihan nodded gratefully and drove out of the parking lot. She entered the main road and drove towards the neighborhood where Wu Ziqiang was detained.
On the way, Li Rui kept thinking about Wu Ziqiang being detained. He came up with a few solutions in his mind. Then, he suddenly thought of something and asked, "Wu Ziqiang asked you to save him. Didn't he say how much money you should bring? How much did he lose? "
Chen Lihan was stunned. She tilted her head and glanced at him. She shook her head and said, "He didn't say. He only asked me to hurry over. If I'm late, I'll lose my hand."
Li Rui was very surprised. This didn't make sense. Logically speaking, if a gambler lost money and was detained by the other party and forced to call his wife to save him, he would definitely ask his wife to bring money. Otherwise, why would he ask his wife to go over? However, Wu Ziqiang didn't ask his wife to bring money over. He didn't even say how much he lost. This was too strange.
After Chen Lihan said this, she also realized that something was wrong. She asked curiously, "Oh, right. Why didn't he ask me to bring money? Do you think I can save him if I go over empty-handed?"
Li Rui frowned and thought for a while. He said, "I feel that things aren't that simple. There seems to be a trace of malice towards you hidden in this. Wu Ziqiang's relationship with you is not good. Now that he lost money and wants you to save him, he doesn't want you to bring money. Could it be … could it be that he wants you to … "
He wanted to say the words "pay with your body" but hesitated for a long time. He changed his words and said, "Is it possible that Wu Ziqiang will betray you, given your current relationship?"
Chen Lihan could understand the deeper meaning in his words. He was saying that Wu Ziqiang might want her to use her body to pay for his debt. She slowly shook her head and said, "I don't think so. I don't think he would do such a thing. Besides, even if he doesn't fear me, he would fear my sister and brother-in-law."
What she said made sense. Li Rui nodded. He thought for a while and said, "No matter what, you have to prepare for the worst. How about this, when you arrive at the residential area, you go to the other party's house to meet them. Before you enter the house, keep talking to me on the phone. At the same time, turn on the speakerphone. This way, I will be able to hear everything you say when you enter the house. I will also be able to analyze the situation in the house. If things go wrong, I can immediately save him or call the police. "
Chen Lihan agreed, but her expression became more and more nervous.
After 15 minutes, they arrived at the other party's house. This was a 30-story tower. The other party's house was on the 20th floor, so they had to take the elevator up.
