After Li Rui called Song Xue, he couldn't help but ask her about her studies, her grades, whether she was in a relationship, whether she was bullied by her classmates or colleagues, and so on. When they were almost done, he changed the topic and talked about Song Chaoyang and Liang Jiehong.
Song Xue was naturally a filial girl. After her mother passed away, she poured all her love into her father. Although she wasn't by her father's side often, she deeply understood her father's sorrow. Therefore, after hearing Li Rui's words, she understood and said, "I understand, Xiao Rui. I fully support my father's decision to remarry. He does need a virtuous wife to take care of him. If that Auntie Liang is really as good as you say, then I hope they can be together as soon as possible. If you need me to do anything, just tell me. "
Li Rui saw that she was sensible and was very pleased. He said, "I really do need you to do something, but it's not difficult. You just need to call your father and let him know how you feel. Otherwise, if both of you don't express your feelings, this matter can only come to a halt."
Song Xue said, "Okay, I'll call my father later. Xiao Rui, I really don't know how to thank you. This kind of thing should be handled by me as his daughter, but I'm not by my father's side … "
Li Rui said, "Hey, Xue, we're family. Although I'm not your brother, what's the difference between us? Since I'm by your father's side, it's only right for me to handle this kind of thing. "
Song Xue was silent for a while, then suddenly asked, "Do you think my father will forget about my mother after he marries Auntie Liang?" When she said the last sentence, she sounded like she was about to cry. It was obvious that she was thinking about her late mother.
Li Rui secretly felt sad. He said, "How is that possible? Silly girl, is your father that kind of heartless person? Let's take a step back. Even if he forgets about your mother, he still has you. When he sees you, he will remember your mother. Don't let your imagination run wild. "
Song Xue calmed herself down and said faintly, "My father has obviously aged a lot in the past few years. My heart aches just looking at him. I've already thought about it. After I graduate, I'll go back to the provincial capital to work. This way, I can accompany him all day long, so he won't have no family by his side. We're the only two left in our family. "When she said this, she couldn't hold back and started crying.
Li Rui's eyes were also wet. When he thought of Sun Shuqin's voice and smile, he couldn't accept that she had passed away. However, he couldn't cry. If he did, Song Xue would cry even harder. He could only suppress his sadness and persuade Song Xue to take it easy. After a lot of persuasion, he finally persuaded her to accept reality. When he hung up the phone, he realized that his back was drenched in sweat.
At around three o 'clock in the afternoon, Li Rui's godfather, Luo Jintong, suddenly came to visit. He was carrying a bag of snacks that he bought from the supermarket. He said that he was here to visit Little Bowen, but after Li Rui said a few words, he expressed his real intention. "Xiao Rui, can you arrange for Xiao Qiang to stay by your side as a secretary or a chauffeur? He is currently working in the Tourism Bureau. He doesn't earn much and has no future. However, if he works for you, it will be different. You will be promoted all the way, and he can benefit a lot from you and have a good future. "
Luo Qiang was Luo Jintong's son and Li Rui's godbrother. He was the one who had fooled around with an ignorant girl. As a result, the girl's brother found him and beat him with a brick. In the end, he was forced to marry the girl. His job in Qingyang was arranged by Li Rui. At first, he worked in the information center of the Municipal Tourism Bureau. Later, he was transferred to the office of the Municipal Tourism Bureau. However, he didn't get a permanent position. He took the civil servant exam several times, but he didn't have enough cultural points. Zhang Mingfang, the director of the Municipal Tourism Bureau, was willing to open the back door for Li Rui and try to recruit him as a permanent cadre in the Tourism Bureau. However, he didn't live up to expectations and had no choice.
Now, Luo Qiang was transferred back to the information center through his connections. He was a director in an office, which was a small official. He was in charge of several people, but his salary was not high. It was less than 3,000 yuan, and he had no other income. However, he was a person who spent a lot of money and had many social engagements. Therefore, his life was very difficult. As his godfather, Luo Jintong was naturally very dissatisfied. He was worried that Li Rui would become poorer and poorer. Therefore, he took advantage of the fact that Li Rui was at home today to ask Li Rui to help Luo Qiang.
Li Ruixin said that his godfather was as shrewd as ever. He never gave up on using his godson's resources and connections to help his son develop. Although Li Ruixin despised his godfather's snobbishness, he was indeed considerate of his son. This fatherly love was worthy of respect. However, he could only shake his head and say, "I can't arrange it. First of all, I don't have a secretary. Moreover, the secretaries are selected from the official civil servants of the county government. Xiao Qiang is not a civil servant, so I can't arrange it for him. Moreover, the chauffeurs of us deputy county magistrates are assigned to small caravans. We can't casually find someone from outside to be our chauffeur. This is not in accordance with the regulations. Lastly, I'll be honest. Even if Xiao Qiang is my secretary or chauffeur, he won't get any benefits from me.
This is my principle. "Luo Jintong frowned and said," Then, is there any other good job for him? "
Li Rui asked back, "Isn't his job good now? Although the salary isn't high, it's stable. I don't know how many people in the city want such a stable job but can't find one. "
Luo Jintong sighed bitterly and said, "But a few thousand yuan isn't enough for him to spend."
Li Rui laughed and said, "He has to find a way himself. Everyone earns the same amount of money. For example, I don't earn much more than Xiao Qiang. Why is it that everyone has enough to spend but he doesn't? He has to find the reason from himself. "
Luo Jintong didn't give up and wanted to say more. Li Rui didn't want to talk to him anymore. He got up and said, "I still have things to do in the county. I have to go back now. Godfather, you stay here. I'll leave first."
Seeing this, Luo Jintong couldn't say anything else. He could only stand up and send him off, saying, "Alright, then drive slowly …"
Qingman sent Li Rui downstairs and asked curiously, "Didn't you plan to leave tomorrow morning?"
Li Rui pointed upstairs and said, "This godfather really annoys me. I can only leave first to avoid him."
Qingman nodded and said, "It's good to go now. Otherwise, you'll be in a hurry tomorrow morning."
Li Rui saw that she was virtuous and well-behaved. He fell in love with her. He looked around and saw that no one was around. He held her small face and kissed her hard on the lips.
"Ah …"
Qingman was shocked and shy. She quickly pushed him away and looked around like a thief. It was as if she was caught doing something bad in public. Her oval face was already red. She said angrily, "You're so annoying. It's so embarrassing if other people see this!"
Li Rui laughed and said, "So what if other people see it? It's fair for a husband to kiss his wife. No one can say anything. On the contrary, they'll be envious of our love."
Qingman laughed shyly and scolded, "Get out of here. You haven't kissed enough at home and now you're kissing outside. I'm already embarrassed enough … Drive slowly. Don't you want the driver to pick you up?"
Li Rui waved his hand and got into the car. He said, "No, it's the weekend. Let me have a good rest. I'm leaving. I'll video call Xiao Bowen tonight! "He started the engine and slowly drove out of the neighborhood.
Qingman watched him leave with a warm and sweet smile. When his car was out of sight, she sighed faintly and turned to go upstairs.
It was already past five o 'clock when he arrived at the guest house in Shuanghe County. Li Rui had just opened the door and got out of the car. Before he could close the door, he saw the guest house's lobby manager, Xia Yan, come out of the building.
Xia Yan came out of the door and saw his BMW X5 parked not far from the building. She took a second look. When she saw that it was Li Rui who got out of the car, she was immediately stunned. However, she quickly recovered and greeted, "Hello, County Magistrate Li!"
Li Rui smiled and said, "Hello, Manager Xia. Are you off work now?"
Xia Yan smiled and shook her head. "Not yet." She then turned her gaze to the X5 and asked, "Is this your car?"
Li Rui also smiled and shook his head. "Of course not. How can a civil servant like me have the money to buy such a luxury car? This car belongs to my wife's younger sister. She's lending it to us. "
Xia Yan said, "Oh. I'll tell the front desk to keep an eye on your car so that it won't be scratched by other cars."
Li Ruixin secretly laughed. Could it be that with someone keeping an eye on the car, the car wouldn't be scratched by other cars? It would be better if someone kept an eye on the car at all times. This Manager Xia was really interesting. She found something to talk about but didn't deny Li Rui's good intentions. Li Rui smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll have to trouble Manager Xia."
"County Magistrate Li, please wait!"
Seeing that Li Rui was about to walk up the stairs, Xia Yan hurriedly called out. Her voice was not loud to ensure that no one could hear it.
Li Rui stopped and turned around. He asked, "Manager Xia, is there anything else?"
Xia Yan didn't say anything. She looked around and saw that no one was around. She waved at him and led him to the corner of the road that led to the back of the guest house.
Li Rui was amused by her mysterious actions but he didn't ask. He just looked at her with a smile and waited for her to take the initiative to tell him the story.
"County Magistrate Li, I have something to tell you. Please don't tell anyone …"
Xia Yan lowered her voice and looked at the front yard as if someone would jump out at any time to hear her words.
Li Rui nodded and asked, "What is it?"
