However, the deputy director quickly realized that his tone was too harsh. He tried to salvage the situation, "County Magistrate Li, I don't mean anything else. It's just that you want too much. You want one million yuan from me for a director position? Even if I become the director of the office, how many years will it take for me to earn one million yuan? I won't be able to earn that much in my lifetime. This is a losing deal! "
Li Rui sneered, "I just want one million yuan. If you give me money, I won't talk about anything else!"
Sun Jianwen was so angry that he almost cried. He begged, "County Magistrate Li, can you show some sincerity?"
Li Rui smiled and said, "I've already shown my sincerity. I used an unrealistic number to completely shatter your greedy dream of promotion and let you return to reality to earn promotion opportunities through your own efforts. Haven't I treated you well enough?"
Sun Jianwen finally understood that Li Du was not really asking for 1,000,000 RMB, but was just rejecting his request. Sun Jianwen gasped in his heart and thought that this guy was really hard to deal with. No wonder Sun Zhonghua and Zhang Jinbo had to suffer in front of him. Sun Jianwen had come here to humiliate himself, but he did not give up and begged, "County Magistrate Li, please help me. I want to use my own ability to get promoted. You can also look at my work results in the past few years. I am very capable, but now the bureau is appointing people based on favoritism. A blockhead like me who only knows how to work hard is not liked by the leaders, and I will never have the chance to be promoted. I was forced to come here to get in through the back door. Please give me a chance, I beg you."
Li Rui pointed at the two stacks of banknotes on the coffee table and sneered, "You're still a blockhead who only knows how to work hard?"
Sun Jianwen was exposed and his face was a little embarrassed. He said awkwardly, "Someone told me to do this. That's why I'm so thick-skinned. Normally, I wouldn't be so shameless."
Li Rui waved his hand and said, "You can go. Since it's your first offense, I won't make it difficult for you. But if you dare to do this again, don't blame me for reporting you!"
At this point, Sun Jianwen already knew that he would definitely not accept the money. There was no point in him staying any longer. He could only put away the two stacks of money and resentfully walk out.
After the door was closed, Li Rui found a bag and began to pack his clothes. Zixuan was still waiting at the hotel. He did not want to waste time here. As for the matter just now, he had almost forgotten about it and did not take it to heart. He only thought that it was Sun Jianwen's own idea. After all, this kind of person was not uncommon in the officialdom.
Sun Jianwen quickly walked down the corridor to the staircase. He looked back and saw that Li Rui did not chase after him. He walked down the stairs and boldly took out his phone to make a call. When the other party picked up, he was already on the first floor. He said in a low voice, "Chief Zhang, it didn't work!"
Zhang Jinbo's confused voice came from the other side of the phone. "What did you say? There are too many people here and it's too noisy. I didn't hear you clearly. Say it again. "
Sun Jianwen saw that there was no one in the lobby, and the two beauties at the front desk weren't paying attention to him, so he simply stopped and repeated, "I said, it didn't work! Did you hear me this time, Chief Zhang? " This time, he raised his voice quite a bit. Moreover, he was still angry when he mentioned this matter, so he did not notice that his voice had increased again. Of course, even if he realized that his voice was not low, he did not think that the two female attendants at the front desk could hear him. Even if they heard him, they would not know what was going on. However, he did not notice that there was a corridor one meter to the left of the staircase.
Less than one meter into the corridor was the first room. At this moment, a woman walked out of the door. She was about to walk out when she suddenly heard Sun Jianwen's voice. She felt that it sounded familiar and subconsciously stopped in her tracks.
Sun Jianwen was still on the phone. Zhang Jinbo was very dissatisfied. "What do you mean it didn't work? You better explain it to me clearly! "
Sun Jianwen sighed bitterly. "What else could it be? He didn't take the money."
"Why didn't he take the money? Did he think that the money was not enough, or was he pretending to be honest? "
Sun Jianwen sneered and said, "He did think that the money was not enough, but he did not think that the money was not enough. Well, I showed him twenty thousand, fifty thousand, and a hundred thousand. He thought that it was not enough. When I asked him how much he wanted, he actually asked me for a million. I almost died from anger. "
Zhang Jinbo said in shock, "No way? A million? Is he so poor that he has gone crazy? "
Sun Jianwen said, "Of course not. He told me through such a huge number that he did not want to take the money so that I would give up."
"Hiss …" Zhang Jinbo sucked in a breath of cold air. "He didn't even take the money that was sent to his door. This kid is really difficult to deal with!"
Sun Jianwen said listlessly, "Who said he wasn't?! Now that I'm out, is there still anything for me to do? If not, I'm going home. This trick is useless. I made a wasted trip! "
"Where is he?" Zhang Jinbo asked, unwilling to give up.
Sun Jianwen said, "Of course he's in his room at 206. Why, Chief Zhang, do you have a backup plan?"
Zhang Jinbo said, "I definitely have a backup plan, but I haven't thought of it yet. Let's talk about it later. You go home first." After saying that, he hung up.
Sun Jianwen kept his phone and sighed. He muttered to himself, "Sigh … I don't have a chance to be the Director of the Bureau Office!" After saying that, he walked towards the entrance of the lobby and disappeared out the door.
Just as he left, a woman walked out from the corridor next to the first floor's staircase. That woman looked in the direction he left with a bewildered expression. Her brows were slightly furrowed and her mouth was slightly open, as if she was puzzled about something. After a while, she turned back to look at the staircase on the second floor and said to herself, "Is this Sun guy talking about him?"
Coincidentally, after she finished speaking, a tall and handsome man walked down from the corner of the staircase. He was carrying a bag of clothes. Who else could it be other than Li Rui?
Li Rui had packed the clothes in his room and left the guest house to return to Royal Court Hotel. It doesn't take long for him to pack two sets of clothes. That's why he was only two minutes away from Sun Jianwen. Sun Jianwen hurried down the stairs, and before he reached the first floor, he saw Gu Yingtong standing at the staircase and looking at him. He was surprised and overjoyed. "Teacher Gu!"
Gu Yingtong also did not expect Sun Jianwen to come down just as she was thinking about him. She waved at him. "Come down quickly. I have something to ask you."
Li Rui walked up to her with a smile and said, "Ask away, what's the matter?"
Gu Yingtong organized her thoughts and said. "That Director Sun from the Investment Promotion Agency, the one you saw talking to me when you came back. Did he look for you?"
Li Rui nodded. "Yes. He is looking for me, and I brought him to my room to talk."
Gu Yingtong asked nervously. "Did he give you money? But did you reject it? "
Li Rui was puzzled. He looked at the beautiful woman in front of him and asked. "How did you know? Could it be that … you have super hearing? "
Gu Yingtong heaved a sigh of relief. "Thank goodness you didn't reject it. Director Sun was talking to someone on the phone at the staircase, and I happened to walk out of my room. I heard everything he said. He gave you money under the instructions of someone called 'Chief Zhang.' This is their scheme to deal with you, and they seem to have other tricks up their sleeves. I don't know much about it, but I can roughly guess what happened. Did you offend someone? "
Li Rui heard 'Chief Zhang' and immediately thought of the person he offended the most after coming to Shuanghe City. It's the County's Investment Promotion Agency's Deputy Chief, Zhang Jinbo. Zhang Jinbo is considered Sun Jianwen's superior, and it's not strange for them to work together to deal with him. Li Rui sneered in his heart. This Zhang Jinbo is ruthless. I had not even punished him, and he sent Sun Jianwen to give me money. If I had accepted the money, he would have reported me to the City's Commission for Discipline Inspection. Hmph! But he is wrong. I am not greedy for money, or else, my career will be over.
Li Rui had only wanted to kick Zhang Jinbo out of the Investment Promotion Agency. Since Zhang Jinbo had used such a despicable scheme, he must return the favor. Since Sun Jianwen is still upset that he did not give the money to Li Rui, he will give him another chance to give the money to Li Rui again.
"Teacher Gu, thank you so much. If it weren't for your warning, I might have been killed without even knowing what happened."
Coming back to his senses, Li Rui began to thank the beautiful director in front of him. Although he didn't step into the trap tonight, in the future, Zhang Jinbo and the others would continue to attack him. Even if he could dodge the first attack, he wouldn't be able to dodge all of them. Sooner or later, he would fall into their trap. Therefore, Gu Yingtong's warning was very important. She let him know who his opponent was and what his opponent's movements were, so he could be on guard.
Gu Yingtong smiled shyly and waved her hand. "Don't mention it. I did not do anything. You are upright, and you will not be framed."
Li Rui smiled bitterly. "It's not as simple as you make it out to be! That's right. I can reject money, beautiful women, houses, and cars in front of me. But what if they did not do it in front of me? For example, when I am not in my room, they will sneak into my room and leave me a large sum of money. I will not be able to explain myself. Also, when I am sleeping, they will arrange for a beautiful woman to knock on my door and pounce on me when I open the door. I will not be able to explain myself. It's impossible to guard against them! Now, you have warned me, and I will be on my guard. This way, I can avoid most of the risks. Don't you think you are doing me a great favor? "
Gu Yingtong smiled and said, "You make it sound so scary. Will these people really be as unscrupulous as you said in order to deal with you?"
