On the surface, Lin Yali looked lively and cheerful. She could get along well with anyone, but in fact, she was a bit arrogant. After the accident at home, she basically didn't contact Li Rui, Zeng Hanlin, and other friends in the social circle. She didn't even call them, let alone ask for help. It was always Li Rui and others who took the initiative to contact her. However, because of this, the ambiguous relationship between her and Li Rui was almost broken. Now, Li Rui treated her as a pure sister-in-law.
On the phone, Zeng Hanlin said, "Of course she's going. I asked. How could she not go? Then let's set it at 9: 00 a.m. on Saturday. If we go early, the prison won't open and we can't go through the formalities. "
After the phone call, Li Rui smiled bitterly at Qingman and said, "Li Ming is going to be released from prison. My friends are going to pick him up on Saturday. It's a pity that Guan Weiwei is still in prison. "
Qingman nodded and said, "Let's go. This is also a big deal. Hurry up and take a shower. After that, come out and take care of the child. I'll go shower. "
At 10: 00 p.m., little Bowen was already sleeping with his grandfather, Li Jianmin, in the guest bedroom. Li Rui and Qingman were still doing crazy things. After Little Bowen was born, the relationship between the husband and wife deepened. Qing Man was more open than before. Li Rui worked in Shuanghe and only came back once every few days. With all these reasons added together, the couple's life as husband and wife became more harmonious, sweeter, and more frequent.
By the end of the crazy session, the hour hand was already pointing to 11 o 'clock. The couple rested for a while and went to the bathroom to clean up. They then returned to the Simmons bed and hugged each other. Since they couldn't fall asleep for the time being, Li Rui told Qing Man about Shuanghe's experiences in the past two days.
Qingman advised, "Now that you've understood the situation at the grassroots level, you shouldn't take it too seriously. It doesn't matter if they're your superiors or your subordinates. It's not good to offend them, and it'll affect your mood. You have to take things one step at a time. Don't be too anxious. In any case, even if you don't achieve outstanding results, you will still advance step by step. "
Li Rui patted her shoulder and said, "I know, but there are some things that I just can't stand … Forget it, let's not talk about it. I won't bring work matters home in the future, so as not to affect my precious Manman's mood."
Qingman said, "It won't affect me that much. You have to say what you need to say. Otherwise, it'll be hard to keep it in. I can't help you much, but I can at least enlighten you. "
Li Rui smiled and said, "Yes, you made me very happy just now!"
Qingman said angrily, "You're so annoying. You can't be serious if you don't say a few words. Go to sleep. You have to wake up early tomorrow."
It's a quiet night.
The next morning, Li Rui did not rush back to Shuang He City. Instead, he went to the City's Investment Promotion Agency. Li Rui had spoken to the City's Investment Promotion Agency Bureau Chief over the phone and asked him to send an investment promotion expert to Shuang He City for the County's Investment Promotion Agency, and the other party agreed. But since Li Rui is back in the city, he felt it's better to make a trip there personally. This will show how important this matter is to the City's Investment Promotion Agency. At the same time, Li Rui can show his respect to the City's Investment Promotion Agency.
Although Li Rui used to be Song Chaoyang's secretary and is Song Chaoyang's favorite subordinate, he is still cautious and meticulous. He is very stingy when it comes to social interactions. Of course, it's because of this way of dealing with people that he had won the approval of many leaders over the years. No matter if it's his superiors or his subordinates, they all praise him for his character.
The weather is bad today, and it's gloomy early in the morning. The wind is blowing, and the air is humid. It looks like the first spring rain of the year will fall at any moment. Li Rui sat in his car and sent a message to Zixuan. He told her not to come if it's raining. After all, it's not safe to drive on the highway when it's raining. But he knew that Zi Xuan would absolutely not pay attention to this message.
When Li Rui arrived at the City's Investment Promotion Agency, the Bureau Chief is not there yet. Li Rui went to the small meeting room opposite the Bureau Chief's office and waited for a while. After 15 minutes, the Bureau Chief arrived and apologized to Li Rui immediately. Both exchanged some pleasantries, and Li Rui was invited to the Bureau Chief's office for a cup of hot tea.
The Bureau Chief laughed. "I have arranged everything. Since you are here today, I will bring you to meet the investment promotion expert. Please wait for a while. I will call her and ask her to come over. She should be here soon, and we don't have to wait for too long." After saying that, the Bureau Chief picked up the phone and dialed an extension number.
The call ended very quickly. The bureau chief put down the microphone and smiled. "This is our bureau's real investment expert. She's an all-rounder. She's very familiar with all the business related to investment. What's even more incredible is that she's very good at it. Last year, just based on the results of her own business, she attracted 2.7 billion yuan in investment! "
Li Rui was so surprised that he opened his mouth wide. He said in surprise and joy, "Is that so? There's such an outstanding investment talent? Then I've really borrowed a treasure this time."
The Bureau Chief laughed. "This time, I will send two investment promotion experts to Shuanghe. She is one of them, and the other is an investment promotion consultant hired by our bureau. He is a well-known investment promotion expert in Qingyang City. He has been researching investment promotion for many years and had helped us a lot. What do you think, Director Li? I have lent you all the treasures in the bureau. Is that enough? "
The "Director Li" in his mouth was referring to Li Rui's previous position, the Deputy Director of the Political Research Office of the Municipal Party Committee. He used this old title to imply that he had a friendship with Li Rui.
Li Rui smiled and said, "That's enough. Director Wang, I will remember this big favor. If you need my help in the future, just let me know."
What Director Wang wanted was Li Rui's words. Although he might not need Li Rui's help, he was happy to have a good relationship with the Municipal Party Committee's secretary. After all, he had nothing to lose. He laughed and said, "Director Li, you are too polite. We are all in Qingyang City, so we must help each other …"
The two of them chatted for a while, and about three minutes later, the door was knocked on by Chief Wang's secretary. A beautiful woman walked into the room. This woman was thirty-two or thirty-three years old, and she was about one hundred and sixty centimeters tall. She had a slender figure, and her long hair was parted in the middle of her forehead, revealing her bright and clean forehead. She was tied up in a short bun at the back of her head, making her look professional and dignified. She had a beautiful face, eyebrows like the mountains in spring, and eyes like autumn water. She was born with a charming temperament that made people's hearts ripple. What was more rare was that she was born with snow-white skin that was sparkling and lustrous. If it weren't for her age, she would be the Chinese version of Audrey Hepburn.
Li Rui's eyes lit up and he praised in his heart, "What a beauty!"
"Director Li!"
Director Wang greeted Li Rui and brought him to the beautiful woman with a smile. "Let me introduce you. This is the Director of our Investment Promotion Office, Gu Yingtong. She is the investment promotion expert that I mentioned earlier. She is a big shot who attracts over 2 billion RMB annually! She will be in charge of this training and will be leading the team. "
Li Ruixin smiled and extended his hand to shake Gu Yingtong's hand. "Nice to meet you, Director Gu. I would like to thank you on behalf of Shuanghe County's Investment Promotion Agency for helping us with this training. Thank you for your help this time!"
If a man and a woman are to shake hands in a formal setting, the man must wait for the woman to shake hands first. Otherwise, it might cause awkwardness or even conflict. But there are exceptions. The man's status is higher and older than the woman. This is the situation when Li Rui is facing Gu Yingtong. His status is higher than Gu Yingtong, and it's fine for him to extend his hand to her.
Chief Wang was introducing Li Rui to Gu Yingtong. "Yingtong, this is Li Rui, the former deputy director of the Municipal Committee's Political Research Office and the current deputy county head of Shuanghe County. He's also the County Head Li that I told you about yesterday. Get to know him."
Chief Wang was also a veteran in the bureaucracy and was good at doing favors. He specifically pointed out that he had already told Gu Yingtong about this matter yesterday and hinted to Li Rui. "Look, I took your matter seriously. You just called me yesterday, and I immediately arranged it for you. There's no need for you to come to the bureau today."
Many people don't pay attention to such details. Although it might not cause any negative effects, it will cause them to lose some favor and good reviews.
Gu Yingtong also smiled and extended her hand to Li Rui. She shook his clean and warm hand and greeted him. "Hello, County Magistrate Li. You are welcome. It is my honor. I have already prepared everything. I am just waiting for the investment consultant. I should be able to rush over today. "
Li Rui slightly tightened his grip on her hand and shook it twice to show that he wasn't patronizing her. "Director Gu, we're about the same age, so you don't have to be so polite. Thank you again for coming all the way to the grassroots level to train us. I will contact the County Bureau now and ask them to send a car to pick you up. "He then let go of her hand. His etiquette was impeccable.
Gu Yingtong said, "There is no need to send a car. We have a car in the Bureau."
Li Rui smiled and looked at Director Wang. "Your Bureau has a car. It is usually used. This time, you have to use our car. We will be responsible for picking you up and sending you to show our sincerity. How can we invite you over for training and even let you drive yourselves there? Wouldn't that be too unfair? "
Director Wang smiled and patted his shoulder. "Director Li, you are welcome. We have a car and a driver. They will send Yingtong and the rest there. They don't have to drive themselves."
Li Rui shook his head. "Let's not. Just listen to me this time. Haha."
Director Wang and Gu Yingtong saw that he insisted and didn't say anything else.
