Under the pressure from Tan Yang and Li Rui, Jin Chaoxu didn't discuss with Zeng Yuanshi and lifted the ban on Tian Hong Supermarket and allowed it to resume business.
At this point, the trouble that the Zeng father and son brought to Tian Hong Supermarket was solved by Li Rui. However, Li Rui's counterattack put the Zeng father and son in a difficult situation. It could be said that Li Rui had won this battle. However, Li Rui didn't dare to relax at all. Instead, he became more careful. This was because he knew that Zeng Yuanshi would definitely take revenge. In the short term, he still had to be careful. He couldn't let Zeng Yuanshi get hold of him.
A day later, Shi Peide, the former secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, came to Qingyang City with a transfer order from the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee. Accompanying him was a deputy director of the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee. This indirectly showed that the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee valued him. However, to the leaders of all levels in Qingyang City, this phenomenon released another signal. Shi Peide was backed by the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee, and this big tree was very willing to support him. Therefore, it was best for the local leaders of Qingyang City to maintain a united and friendly relationship with him.
Subsequently, the Organization Department of the Qingyang City Municipal Party Committee announced that they had decided to appoint Shi Peide as the deputy secretary of Hanshui County and nominate him as the candidate for the county magistrate of Hanshui County. Before this, the county magistrate of Hanshui County, Qin Sijin, had resigned from his position and was appointed as the new secretary of Hanshui County.
The announcement period was seven days. Before the announcement period ended, Shi Peide didn't need to work. However, this didn't mean that he didn't need to work.
That night, after Li Rui arranged accommodation for Shi Peide at the Qingyang Hotel, he invited him to dinner to welcome him. After a round of toasts, the two outstanding secretaries finally bade farewell to the friendly relationship on the surface and became true friends.
The reason why he said this was because although the two of them knew each other and had a good relationship before, it was only at work. Even if they had eaten together before, it was only at work. Apart from work, there was no private communication, and there was no exchange of interests. However, after tonight's meal, the relationship between the two of them had undergone a substantial change. Not only did they become quite close to each other, but they also had the possibility of taking care of each other and enjoying each other's interests. Only then could they be considered as true friends, or rather, as one of their own.
Of course, Li Rui would not naively treat Shi Peide as a close friend. Although they had become friends, he always kept in mind that Shi Peide was an official friend. This kind of friend was very uncertain, so he could only carefully protect and not bring him into his life.
"Big Brother Peide, in two days' time, I will take you to the famous scenic spots in the city to play. You can also take sister-in-law and nephew with you. Let me do my part as a host."
"Hehe, not a nephew, but a niece!" Shi Peide corrected Li Rui's mistake with a smile and said, "I thank you for your kindness on behalf of the mother and daughter. However, I will not consider playing for the time being. Tomorrow morning, I will go to Hanshui County and walk around the county to understand the situation in the county. After all, I am going to be an official in the county, so I have to strengthen my familiarity with the situation in the county. I can't wait until after I have completed my duties. Otherwise, I will be laughed at and looked down upon. "
Li Ruixin secretly cheered. From his words, he knew that he was a person who wanted to do something big. Of course, after being the secretary of a leader, who would be willing to live an ordinary life? He nodded and said, "This is a serious matter, so I won't argue with you. After you are familiar with the situation in the county and have a firm foothold, it won't be too late for us to go out and play. "
Shi Peide saw that Li Rui was smart and understood him, so he secretly praised him. He raised his glass and toasted him. The two of them clinked their glasses and drank. Li Rui swiftly snatched the wine bottle and filled Li Rui's glass before pouring for himself before sitting down.
Shi Peide ate a mouthful of beef and placed his chopsticks down. "Brother, what can you teach me about Hanshui County's situation?"
Li Rui also ate a mouthful of food to suppress the taste of wine in his mouth and placed his chopsticks down. "Let's talk about your partner, Qin Sijin. This person might seem rough, but he's actually smart and capable. At the very least, he knows how to flatter, and his flattery skills are very high. But he has been in Hanshui County for two years, and he has always been suppressed by the local officials. This shows that his ability to fight with officials is lacking, or rather, the local power in Hanshui County is very strong. Now that Qin Sijin has been appointed as the Secretary of the county, his authority might seem to have increased, but he will definitely be restrained by the local officials. When you arrive in Hanshui County, you can make use of the conflict between him and the local officials to form an alliance with Wu to resist Cao or do your own thing. "
When Shi Peide heard this, he was overjoyed. He slapped the table and praised, "Brother, eating with you today is better than working in Hanshui County for a year. Come, let me toast you again! "After he finished speaking, he raised his glass again.
Li Rui chuckled and said, "You're too polite." He toasted with him.
This time, Shi Peide took the initiative to pick up the wine bottle and pour for Li Rui. Li Rui did not hold back and did not play any tricks. For example, he pretended to dissuade Shi Peide. Shi Peide was an astute person, so what kind of situation had he not been in? What kind of people had he not seen before? If he played tricks with him, he would only be ridiculed and allowed him to pour the wine. He continued, "Let's talk about the power of the local officials in Hanshui County. To be honest, I don't know much about this. But with the fall of the Secretary of the county, this group of people has a breakthrough. Perhaps most of the remaining officials will still maintain the alliance, but there will definitely be some officials who will find other ways. You can unite these officials and quickly form your alliance. Then you will be able to gain a firm foothold. "
Shi Peide was overjoyed. He clapped his hands and praised, "Wonderful, wonderful, this is really wonderful. Brother, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. I always thought that you are younger than me. As the saying goes, young people do not have as much experience as me. You are not as capable as me. But today, I know that you are much stronger than me. With your guidance, I will have a bright future in Hanshui County. "
Li Rui smiled and waved his hand, "Brother Peide, you are flattering me. At most, I am a little smart. But to give advice in front of you is like showing off my slight skill. You can just listen casually. Don't laugh at me. Let me talk about the situation in Hanshui County. This is a poor county. It is backed by the Taihang Mountains. There is little arable land and a lot of mountainous areas. The first, second, and third industries are not developed … "
The drinking session lasted until 10 o 'clock. Shi Peide got what he wanted from Li Rui about Hanshui County. Li Rui also gained Shi Peide's recognition and friendship. It could be said that both of them had gained something.
After Li Rui shook hands with Shi Peide and said goodbye, he drunkenly walked out of the Qingyang Hotel. He stood by the roadside and waved his hand to stop a taxi. But just as he got in, before the taxi even started to move, two traffic policemen on duty came over.
One of the policemen knocked on the window of the driver's seat and shouted at the driver, "Driver's license and registration book!"
The driver was confused. He looked at the policeman and then looked at the place where he was parked and said, "Comrade, I didn't break any traffic rules, right?"
The policeman shouted, "Stop talking nonsense. Just take it!"
The driver didn't dare to refuse. He took out his registration book and license from the glove compartment and handed them over through the window.
This kind of situation was common, so Li Rui didn't take it to heart. Besides, he was a little drunk and wasn't in the mood to think about it.
The policeman pretended to look at the driver's license and took two steps back. He stood on the curb and waved his hand, "Come down, come down!"
The driver's face changed and asked in surprise, "What's wrong, comrade? Am I … okay? What's wrong? "
"Stop talking nonsense. Just come down when I ask you to. Why do you want me to ask you to come down? Turn off the car! "
The driver felt wronged, but he didn't dare to ask more. He turned off the car and opened the door to get out. Suddenly, he realized something. He slapped his forehead and whispered, "Damn, I forgot to wear my seatbelt!"
Li Rui saw that it would take a long time for the policeman to deal with him. He got out of the car and tried to hail another car. However, the passing taxis didn't dare to join in the fun when they saw the policeman investigating something. Even if they didn't have a problem, they didn't want to get involved. So, they ignored his beckoning. He stood on the side of the road for a few minutes, but no taxi came.
Li Rui quickly realized this. He thought about it and decided to cross the road and stop a car on the opposite side. After all, the opposite side was the direction to go home. This time, he quickly stopped a taxi. Just as he sat down and told the driver where his home was, he saw the two policemen cross the road and stop in front of him. It was the same policeman who was enforcing the law. He knocked on the window of the driver's seat and asked the driver to take out his license and registration book.
The same scene played out again. Even if Li Rui was an idiot, he realized that something was wrong. His drunkenness immediately dissipated. He got out of the car and looked at the two traffic police officers, only to find that the other traffic police officer was looking at him as if he was a joke.
When the policeman saw him looking at him, he quickly turned his head away and didn't look at him.
Li Ruixin's head jumped. What were these two policemen doing? Why did they check the driver's license every time he called for a taxi? Were they deliberately targeting him or were they doing it unintentionally? He didn't know any of these two policemen. There was no possibility of him having a grudge with them. So, they wouldn't take revenge on him. Could it be the latter? Was it just a coincidence?
In order to confirm his thoughts, Li Rui pretended that he didn't see anything. He walked 40 to 50 meters to the west and stood near the entrance of the Municipal Party Committee to hail another taxi. However, the policeman who looked at him just now quickly caught up with him. He slowed down near him and seemed to be ready to stop him at any time.
F * ck, aren't they deliberately targeting me?
Li Rui immediately understood. He thought for a while and thought of a possibility. He sneered and walked towards the policeman. He said loudly, "Did Ceng Yu tell you to do this?"
