Five or six minutes later, there were two dishes and a soup in front of Li Rui. They were delicious and appetizing. He looked at Xia Yan who was standing beside the table. Although he knew that the reason why she "loved and respected" him so much was probably because she wanted to get real benefits from him, the deputy county magistrate, more or less, he couldn't help but have a stronger good impression of her. He felt that he owed her a lot. He asked softly, "Manager Xia, have you eaten? If not, why don't we eat together? "
Xia Yan waved her hand and said, "I've already eaten. County Magistrate Li, you eat slowly. I'll go out first." She smiled at him and walked out of the room.
When Li Rui finished his meal, it was already nine o 'clock. He walked back to his house from the restaurant. Just as he reached the corner of the second floor, he saw Xia Yan running down the stairs with a humiliated expression. Her hands were tightly wrapped around her shirt. He couldn't help but feel strange and asked, "Manager Xia, what happened to you?"
Xia Yan saw him as if she had seen a relative. Her eyes turned red instantly. She opened her mouth to say something, but then she shook her head and said, "Nothing." Her tone was low and there was a trace of imperceptible resentment. It was obvious that she had been wronged.
Li Rui reprimanded her in a loving tone, "Nothing? Your face is about to show that you have been wronged. Is there anything that you can't say to me? Do you still treat me as an outsider? Will I laugh at you again? You helped me so much last time. I haven't thanked you yet. "
Xia Yan's face turned red. She lowered her head and didn't say anything.
Li Rui was standing a little lower. From his angle, he could see the tears in Xia Yan's eyes. It seemed that they would roll out at any time. Seeing this scene, he sighed and said, "Tell me quickly. What have you been wronged? Don't worry. I'll help you get justice. "
Xia Yan then said with shame and indignation, "Just now … just now, a guest on the third floor called the front desk and asked the lobby manager to go up, so I went. When I got there, the guest directly asked me if there was any … special service in the guest house. I unhappily said no, and he started to get all touchy with me. He pulled me into his arms, and even reached his hand into my shirt, asking me to accompany him … He said that he was the big boss of Shuanghe City, and even the county party secretary and county head had to treat him like an ancestor. If I didn't satisfy his demands, he wouldn't invest in the county anymore, and the county head would teach me a lesson. While he was talking, I pushed him away and ran out. As soon as I came down, I bumped into you, County Magistrate Li … "
She looked at Li Rui pitifully and said, "County Magistrate Li, I … I refused his unreasonable request. Will he really complain to the county leaders about me? If I cause him to not invest in the county, won't I be committing a big crime? "
Li Rui sneered and said, "Where did this investor come from? He's got guts. Not only did he want to play with women, but he also dared to publicly humiliate you, the lobby manager, in the reception unit under the county party committee and county government. Who gave him the courage? Humph, he's an investor. I haven't seen him invest, but I've seen his ugly face first. Is he here to invest? Let's go. Take me to him. I want to see what kind of person he is! "
Xia Yan saw that he was about to step forward, so she anxiously reached out and grabbed his arm. She begged in a low voice, "County Magistrate Li, I … I didn't suffer a big loss anyway, so let's just forget it. If … if it gets out of hand and offends him, he really won't invest in the county anymore. If the county leader blames me, I … I …"
Li Rui patted her hand and said, "Manager Xia, don't worry. Secretary Fang of the county party committee and County Magistrate Bu are not that kind of people. Even if they really blame you, I'll take the blame for you. In any case, today, I will definitely help you get justice for this. Take me up quickly! "
Xia Yan looked at him gratefully and fearfully, "But …"
Li Rui said in an unquestionable tone, "No buts!" Then he grabbed her wrist and pulled her to the stairs of the third floor.
When they reached the stairs of the third floor, a waitress happened to come downstairs. When she saw Xia Yan, she was about to greet her when she suddenly saw Li Rui pulling her up hurriedly. Her face changed. She didn't dare to say anything. She lowered her head and pretended not to see them. She went downstairs gloomily.
Xia Yan also found that Li Rui and her behavior were a little intimate. She opened her mouth to explain, but it was too late. She could only admit that she was unlucky.
When they arrived at the door of room 309, Xia Yan nodded to Li Rui, indicating that this was the room. Li Rui raised his hand and knocked on the door. "Pah! Pah! Pah!" The sound was so loud that it echoed in the corridor.
"Who is it?" A middle-aged man's voice came from the room. He spoke Mandarin with a southern accent.
Li Rui shouted, "Open the door!"
The door quickly opened and a man appeared. He was in his thirties or forties and was tall and fit. He had a square face and small eyes, but he was still handsome. He was wearing a shirt, trousers, and leather shoes and looked very imposing. He really did look like a big boss with a background.
Li Rui had planned to slap the man as soon as he opened the door to vent Xia Yan's anger. But when he saw the man's appearance, he couldn't do it directly. He asked with a cold face, "Did you just bully Manager Xia of our guest house?"
The man glanced at Xia Yan who was standing next to him. He didn't feel guilty or afraid. Instead, he said arrogantly, "Who are you? What kind of tone are you using to talk to me? Do you know that even the Secretary of your county committee has to … "
"Cut the crap!" Li Rui coldly interrupted him. "Let me ask you, did you just bully Manager Xia?"
The man wasn't easy to get along with. He wasn't scared by Li Rui at all. He asked arrogantly, "Aiya, you're quite arrogant. Who are you?"
Li Rui coldly stared at him and said, "Who am I? Let me tell you, I'm the Deputy County Head of Shuanghe County Government in charge of investment! As for those who have the ambition to start a business in our county and support the social and economic development of our county, our county welcomes them with open arms. However, as for those who use the name of investment as an excuse to bully men and women, not only do we not welcome them, but we also punish them when we find them! "
The man was stunned. He glanced at him and shouted, "What? You're the Deputy County Head in charge of investment? Great, I was just about to look for you. Hurry up, take me to see the leader of your county. The Secretary of the county committee or the County Head is fine. I want to invest in your county. Find someone to accompany me to inspect the investment environment. "After he finished speaking, he walked out.
Li Rui pushed his chest and pushed him back.
The man was shocked and angry. He angrily said, "What are you doing? Do you know what you're doing? How dare you push me? Let me tell you, if you anger me, an investor, I'll complain to the Secretary of the county committee or the County Head. You won't have a good time then. "
Li Rui sneered. "We'll talk about the investment later. Let me ask you now, did you bully Manager Xia?"
The man was stunned at first. Then, he sneered and said indifferently, "Do you know who you're talking to? Let me tell you, I'm one of the Vice Presidents of the Zhejiang Businessmen's Association. Do you want to see my name card? Hmph! Let me tell you, I was invited by your provincial government to inspect the investment environment in your province. I just finished inspecting a few cities in Jingnan and Dongzhou. I wanted to rest for a while, so I came to Shuanghe to take a look. I heard that Shuanghe has a lot of tourism resources. I'm here to inspect the investment opportunities. But you, the Vice County Head in charge of investment, are treating me like this? I didn't bully this female manager at all. Even if I did, what can you do to me? Huh? I'm investing billions, even tens of billions. So what if I bully a waitress? "
Li Rui was furious. He stepped forward and raised his hand to slap him.
Xia Yan saw it clearly. She quickly grabbed his arm and begged, "No, County Magistrate Li, don't hit me. Please don't hit me!"
Li Rui came to his senses at the same time. He knew that he couldn't hit him. First of all, he was the Vice County Head. How could a Vice County Head hit someone? No matter how good the reason was, it wasn't right to hit someone. Secondly, the man claimed to be the Vice President of the Zhejiang Businessmen's Association. If his identity was true, then he would offend the entire association if he hit him. In the future, not only would he not be able to get investment from the other association members, it might even cause a chain reaction. Then, no boss in the world would invest in Shuanghe. Thinking of this, his back broke out in cold sweat. He quickly put down his hand and looked at Xia Yan gratefully. It was lucky that she stopped him. Otherwise, it would have caused a disaster today.
When the man saw Li Rui's aura weakening, he snorted proudly and said, "Rural areas are rural areas. You don't have any knowledge at all. When I was inspecting the cities in the south, I didn't need to say anything. People would take the initiative to send me money and beautiful women. If they served me well, I would naturally invest. But here, not only did you not get any benefits, you even treat me with such an attitude. You want to get my investment? Dream on! "
Li Rui pulled Xia Yan to his side and pointed at her. "I won't hit you, but you have to apologize to her!"
