Li Rui smiled and nodded at them as a form of greeting. He did not linger around and walked to his room on the second floor. Although these waitresses were respectful to him, it was because of his position. In fact, they were not simple people. He must not be blinded by their beautiful appearance and respectful attitude. Otherwise, he might become a springboard and tool for them to seize personal benefits. Zheng Meili was such a woman, and there were many such women. Li Rui had already seen through all of this, so he would never allow himself to make a low-level mistake in this regard.
Li Rui returned to his room and took a warm shower. After washing up, he made himself a cup of tea. He is not sleepy, and he sat on the sofa. He is thinking about his trip to the Investment Promotion Agency tomorrow as he drinks his tea.
Suddenly, his phone rang cheerfully. He took it over and saw that it was Zi Xuan calling. Seeing that it was her, he couldn't help but smile and hurriedly answered it.
"Hello, have you settled down? Are you staying in the hostel or the hotel? "
Zixuan sounded anxious as if the world will end if Dong Xuebing does not reply.
Li Rui replied. "I am staying at the County Government Guest House. The Government Hostel is too lousy, and they arranged for me to stay at the Guest House. I am embarrassed to reject them. What are you doing?"
Zixuan shouted. "Ah? Guest House? Won't there be too many people? "
Li Rui laughed. "What are you trying to do?"
Zixuan replied. "I want to stay with you for a period of time. I had thought about it. You will be working in Shuanghe City during the week, and I will accompany you. At the same time, I can keep an eye on you and prevent you from being seduced by other women. You will go back to your first wife during the weekends, and I will return to the Provincial Capital to rest. What do you think of my plan? I love you enough, right? "
Li Rui was extremely amused and said, "Look at what you're saying. How could your husband, I, be seduced and run away so easily? You're welcome to stay here for a few days, but don't stay here for too long. Otherwise, you'll be bored and depressed. What's more, someone might find out, and my reputation will be ruined. "
Zixuan snorted and said, "Cut the crap. I'll be there tomorrow. I'll accompany you for two days first!" After that, he hung up the phone.
Li Rui smiled. He stared at her name on his phone for a while before placing the phone back on the coffee table. He thought to himself that if she were to come over, he would have to think carefully about how to hide the fact that he was keeping a mistress in his house.
More than a year ago in the summer, Li Rui and Zixuan's two-year promise came to an end. Zixuan didn't have a change of heart. Instead, he silently decided that he would never get married and would only be the woman behind Li Rui for the rest of his life. Li Rui was touched and helpless. He could only do as she wished. The relationship between the two of them naturally broke through, and they became the most intimate lovers. As time passed, the relationship between the two of them grew deeper and deeper. How deep was their relationship?
When Li Rui and Zixuan were together, he was always worried that she would accidentally get pregnant. In order not to worry, Zixuan actually wanted to have her Fallopian tube ligation surgery. This decision shocked Li Rui, and he immediately stopped her impulsive decision. After all, this surgery could have huge side effects and repercussions on her body. Furthermore, she was still so young. How could he let her make such a huge sacrifice for his own happiness?
Right now, Zixuan was willing to come to Shuanghe and endure the loneliness and boredom during the day just to accompany him. How deep was this love?
"With a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for?"
Li Rui couldn't say anything other than sighing.
"Knock knock knock!"
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Li Rui turned his head and looked at the time. Could there be a guest this late at night? He said loudly, "Come in!"
The door wasn't locked. The person turned the doorknob and gently pushed the door open, stepping into the room. When Li Rui looked again, his eyes lit up. He saw a beautiful woman standing at the door. She was about 26 or 27 years old. She had long hair over her shoulders, a long oval face, beautiful facial features, fair skin, and a slim figure. She was wearing the uniform of a hostess — a white shirt with a small bow tie, dark blue trousers, and a pair of black pointed shoes. She stood there beautifully, showing off her curves, and was very attractive.
Before Li Rui asked, the woman smiled and took the initiative to introduce herself. "Hello, County Magistrate Li. Sorry to bother you. I'm the lobby manager and night manager of our county's guest house, Xia Yan. Today, I'm here to get to know you. In the future, if you need any advice or suggestions during your stay in the guest house, you can tell me. I'll definitely find a way to help you. If you can't find me, you can ask the receptionist to pass on the message. County Magistrate Li, I hope you don't mind if I've disturbed you. "
To be honest, Li Rui hated this kind of woman who took the initiative to come to his door because of her beauty. No matter what their intentions were, he didn't like this kind of uninvited guest. Moreover, eight out of ten of these women had bad intentions. A woman with true self-respect would never take the initiative to come to their leader. Instead, they would use their own abilities to win the leader's recognition and respect. Dong Jieyu and Ou Yangxin were such women. Therefore, Li Rui liked and respected them very much.
This woman in front of him looked very likable and there were no flaws in her words. However, Li Rui didn't have any good impression of her. He said expressionlessly, "I know, Manager Xia. If there's anything, I'll trouble you."
Xia Yan was able to become the lobby manager of the guest house. Obviously, she was also capable. At least, she had good judgment. Seeing that this young Deputy County Magistrate didn't have any feelings for her, she didn't dare to stay any longer. She nodded and said, "Okay, County Magistrate Li. That's all I have to do. You should rest early. I'll leave first." After she finished speaking, she smiled politely at him, turned around, and walked out.
Li Rui noticed that when she walked, she was wearing a pair of flats with soft heels. He thought to himself, This woman's walk is very seductive. Although I still don't know the real reason why this beautiful lobby manager took the initiative to visit me, there will definitely be a lot of such things in the future. There will be many young and beautiful women throwing themselves at me, a young deputy county head. I have to firmly guard my bottom line and absolutely cannot make a mistake in this aspect.
The next morning, Li Rui boarded his official car, an 80% new Passat, at 8 am. He rushed to the County Investment Promotion Agency with the County Government Office's Deputy Director, Ma Yuming.
Shuanghe County was not big. It could be described by the main roads of the city. Not to mention driving a car, just riding a bicycle from the north to the south would take a quarter of an hour. And from the west to the east, which was a little further, it would take less than half an hour. It was a typical small county in the north. The County's population is not high, and there are only about 70,000 permanent residents.
The County's Investment Promotion Agency is located on the third street, Huaguang Street. It is only one intersection away from the County Government's Fuqian Street, and it is only a ten-minute walk from the County Government's office. Li Rui initially wanted to walk over, but after considering the presence of Ma Yuming and his authority as a Deputy County Head, he decided to follow the original plan and take a car. Otherwise, when he was leaving, he would be escorted out by the officers and staff of the Bureau and walk away under their gazes.
"Yuming, I've thought about it last night. For a relatively long period of time in the future, I will mainly focus on investment promotion and government affairs. As for poverty alleviation and environmental protection, I won't put my energy into it for the time being. So, in the future, you should try your best to lean on investment promotion and government affairs. If you have any suggestions or opinions, you can also put them forward. I will consider them."
Sitting in the car, Li Rui told Ma Yuming about his work plans for the future so that Ma Yuming could be mentally and professionally prepared. Otherwise, Ma Yuming might not know what to do all day, or he might be busy all day.
Different leaders behaved differently when using their subordinates. Some leaders were dictatorial and did whatever they wanted. They didn't care what their subordinates thought and wouldn't take the initiative to reveal their work plan to their subordinates. In any case, when they needed their subordinates, they would just throw the current task to them, regardless of whether it would affect the work plan or the final result. This kind of leader thought that he could guarantee his high prestige and bring a sense of mystery to his subordinates so that they would always be in awe of him and submit to him.
Some leaders were magnanimous and trusted the people they used. They considered problems in a more holistic and long-term way. Before they did anything, they would tell their subordinates their plans so that they could be fully prepared and fully invested in it. They would cooperate with each other and work together to make the business better and more perfect.
Li Rui obviously belonged to the latter. He didn't want his subordinates to run around him like headless flies. They had done a lot of work, but in the end, they didn't know why they were busy. They should have their own clear understanding and positive attitude, so that they could better display their subjective initiative.
Ma Yuming said respectfully, "Okay, I got it."
Li Rui continued. "Don't drive the car into the Investment Promotion Agency later. You can stop the car when it is some distance away from the Agency. I will go to the Agency alone to take a look. Yuming, you are a County's staff and will be familiar to the staff in the Agency. They will recognize you if you go in. Stay in the car and wait for my call. "
Ma Yuming agreed and whispered. "Chief Lin is promoted by the Mayor."
