This time, Bo Yubing could no longer remain indifferent. She looked at her phone and muttered to herself, "Where did this girl run off to? Why isn't she picking up her phone? "
Li Rui asked casually, "Who is it?"
Bo Yubing looked up at him and said, "My sister. Have you seen her in the past two days?"
Li Rui shook his head and said, "Isn't she with you?"
Bo Yubing stood up and said, "No, I'm staying in a guest house. She's staying in a four-star hotel. Don't you know that?" Then, she looked anxious and said, "It's understandable that you couldn't reach her in the morning, but why couldn't you reach her in the afternoon?"
Li Rui said, "Is she purposely not picking up your phone? Let me try calling her. "He took out his phone and dialed Bo Yuxue's number.
Soon, Li Rui shook his head and put his phone back helplessly.
Bo Yubing thought about the dream her father had in the wee hours of the morning. Logically speaking, if there was nothing going on, family members would rarely dream of each other. Suddenly having a dream could not be a good thing, such as the one a long time ago … Thinking of this, she suddenly felt restless and no longer had the mood to work. She said, "No, I have to go to the hotel to look for her and find out what she's up to."
Li Rui did not take this matter seriously. He said casually, "Is it worth the county magistrate personally making a trip to the hotel?"
Bo Yubing was a little unhappy when she heard that. She said with a serious expression, "My dad suddenly dreams of her at four or five in the morning for no reason. I haven't been able to contact her for an entire day. Do you think it's worth it for me to make a trip personally?" Then, she said worriedly, "On the morning my fourth aunt passed away, I suddenly had a short dream about her."
Li Rui could not help but laugh. He said, "Why are you getting more and more out of hand? She's not as scary as you make her out to be. When was the last time you saw her? Or when was the last time you contacted her? "
When Bo Yubing heard that, she suddenly thought of something. She took out her phone in a flurry and called her husband, Qiu Jianbo.
The call was quickly connected. Qiu Jianbo's hearty laughter came from the other end. "Yubing, why are you calling me at this time? What's the matter? "
Bo Yubing said, "Let me ask you, after Yuxue came to find you last night, did she go back to sleep?"
Qiu Jianbo said curiously, "Yeah, what else can she do other than go back to sleep? Haha, why do you ask? "
Bo Yubing asked again, "Did you see her this morning?"
Qiu Jianbo said, "No, I woke up early this morning. When I left the hotel, I didn't see many people. Why?"
Bo Yubing sighed. "I can't get in touch with her. She won't pick up the phone no matter how hard I try."
Qiu Jianbo said, "Did she put her phone on silent mode and didn't hear it? Well, I'll send her a text to ask. "
Bo Yubing said, "It's fine. Go ahead with your work." After that, she hung up and said to Li Rui, "I'm going to the hotel now."
Li Rui felt that she was making a mountain out of a molehill. He said, "Alright, then I'll go back to work." After that, he turned and left.
Bo Yubing didn't take her bag, nor did she use the bus. She went downstairs empty-handed to the entrance of the courtyard, hailed a taxi, and rushed to Huangting Hotel. When she reached the hotel, she went straight to Bo Yuxue's room. She knocked on the door a few times, but no one answered. She then called her name a few times, but no one answered. She guessed that she wasn't in the room. Since she wasn't in the hotel, she must have gone out again. However, Shuanghe County wasn't big, and she didn't have many friends in the county. How strange!
Bo Yubing didn't give up. She stood at the door of the room and tried to call Bo Yuxue again. This time, the call couldn't go through. She had no choice but to send another text. However, the text was like a clay ox entering the sea. There was no response.
Before leaving the hotel, Bo Yubing deliberately ran to the reception desk in the lobby and told the female receptionist, "If the guest in room 606 comes back at night, please help me tell her that her sister is looking for her. Ask her to call back."
The female receptionist was very dutiful. She deliberately looked up the guest in room 606 on the hotel's management system on the computer. After looking at it, she was a little surprised and said to Bo Yubing, "I'm sorry, madam. The room 606 you mentioned is now empty. The guest has already checked out this morning."
Hearing this result, Bo Yubing wasn't very surprised. She thought that Bo Yuxue was sick of living in Shuanghe or had thought things through. She checked out and left Shuanghe to return to Jingnan. However, she was puzzled as to why her sister didn't say goodbye to her before leaving. Of course, this was easy to explain. She was worried that she would disturb her important work as the acting county magistrate, so she checked out and left directly. Thinking of this, she said to the receptionist embarrassedly, "Oh, okay. Thank you.
Bo Yubing hurriedly returned to the unit and found a man standing at the door of her office. He was knocking on the door. After taking a closer look, she recognized that the other party was the real estate developer, Ji Chengsheng, who was owed a deposit of ten million yuan by the Shuanghe County government. She didn't know why he suddenly came looking for her.
Ji Chengsheng heard the sound of high heels beside him and subconsciously turned his head. When he saw that it was the beautiful county magistrate he was looking for, he was surprised and happy. He smiled and greeted, "Hello, County Magistrate Bo. I was looking for you. So you went out. I was wondering why no one answered when I knocked on the door …"
Bo Yubing controlled her temper and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Ji Chengsheng said with a smile, "The land of the old machinery factory in the county has been sold to me according to the procedures. If it weren't for County Magistrate Bo's kind help, I definitely wouldn't have been able to get it. In order to express my gratitude, I want to invite …"
Bo Yubing didn't wait for him to finish and pushed the door open and said, "If you want to thank someone, thank County Magistrate Li. Don't thank me!" Before she finished speaking, the door was slammed shut by her.
Ji Chengsheng originally wanted to ask Bo Yubing out for a meal to see if he could form a private friendship with this beautiful county magistrate. That way, it would be convenient for him to do anything in the future. However, before he could express his intentions, he was slammed in the face. He was really shocked, embarrassed, angry, and anxious. He didn't dare to knock on the door again. After thinking about it, he really did go to Li Rui's office.
When he saw Li Rui, Ji Chengsheng briefly told him about how he got the land. Li Rui couldn't help but congratulate him.
Ji Chengsheng said with a smile, "If it weren't for County Magistrate Li and County Magistrate Bo's help, I would definitely have eaten this loss. So, in order to express my gratitude, I want to invite the two of you to a meal. I just invited County Magistrate Bo, but she refused, so I want to ask County Magistrate Li to help me invite her, okay? "
He was very scheming. He felt that the reason why Bo Yubing refused him was because she didn't want to eat with him alone. After all, she wasn't familiar with him, so he could understand. So now he played a roundabout way and asked Li Rui to invite Bo Yubing to the meal. With Li Rui accompanying her, would she still refuse?
Li Rui waved his hand and said, "No need, I appreciate your kindness, but there's no need to eat. This is what we should do."
Ji Chengsheng saw that he also refused, so he was a little anxious and said, "It's just a meal. Can't I pick a time when you are free?"
Li Rui smiled and waved his hand, then he began to busy himself with his own matters.
Ji Chengsheng saw that he couldn't invite him, so he thought of another plan, "Since they don't agree to eat, then I will go back and make a silk banner. I will send it to Bo Yubing another day. She should accept the silk banner, right? She will be in a good mood after accepting it. She will also be grateful for my kindness. If I invite her to a meal again, she will be embarrassed to refuse. "Thinking of this, he smiled and immediately said goodbye to Li Rui and quickly left.
As soon as he left, Li Rui remembered that he was just rejected by Bo Yubing. He couldn't help but want to chat with Bo Yubing, so he got up and ran to the County Magistrate's office.
A few minutes later, Bo Yubing finished listening to Li Rui's description. She shook her head and said, "Ji Chengsheng's thoughts are not pure. I will never have a private relationship with him. I advise you to stay away from him. I don't want to condemn all real estate developers. In my opinion, developers who take the initiative to befriend government officials don't have good intentions. You are still young, so you should set your sights further. Don't be fooled by the small favors of developers. "
This was the first time Li Rui had heard her lecture in person. A warm current flowed through his heart, and he was quite touched. However, he joked, "You speak as if you are old. How much older can you be than me?"
Bo Yubing was not in the mood to tease him. She raised her hand to her forehead and looked at the notebook on the table. She said in a tired tone, "If you have nothing else to do, go back to work. I have to work."
Li Rui nodded. Before he left, he asked casually, "By the way, did you go to the hotel to find Yuxue?"
Hearing this question, Bo Yubing suddenly became spirited. She looked up at him and said, "No, she has already checked out. She should have gone back to Jingnan."
Li Ruiqi said, "Ah? She left just like that? How many times has she taken the medicine prescribed by Pei Lan? Did she take it away? That medicine has to be taken continuously. Otherwise, it won't be effective. "
Bo Yubing just remembered that there was this matter. She frowned and said, "I don't know. She didn't say goodbye to me before she left. She didn't respond to my calls and texts … Sigh, I'm so angry. That girl, when I try to find her, she can't be contacted."
Li Rui said, "It's okay. Take your time to contact her. Didn't she go home? She should be home at night. Contact her again at night and remind her to take her medicine daily."
Bo Yubing nodded. Her pretty face had become much more haggard because of excessive worry.
That night, after Bo Yubing returned to her room in the guest house, she tried to call Bo Yuxue again. However, she still couldn't get through. Before that, she didn't receive any calls or texts from her. Bo Yubing tried calling her father and asked if Bo Yuxue had returned to her parents' home today. The answer she got was no.
