Li Rui shook his head. Fang Qingyun said, "Okay, I'll discuss it with her."
Li Rui came out of the building and walked to the gate of the courtyard. He found that Wang Dan, the director of the Fairy Cave Scenic Area Management Committee, had arrived and was persuading his subordinates to leave. He had to admit that his words were very effective. He persuaded everyone to leave with just a few words. Lu Jie, the director of the county party committee office, looked a little sad and helpless.
After Wang Dan and his subordinates left, he walked back to Lu Jie and said, "Director Lu, I really didn't know what happened today. When it happened, I was doing research outside. When I heard the news, I immediately came to the county to persuade them. I didn't expect that I was still a step late. Alas, I've really caused you trouble. Secretary Fang, do you have time now? I want to apologize to him and accept his criticism. "
When he said this, Li Rui had already walked behind Lu Jie. Li Rui's figure appeared in his vision, but he acted as if he didn't see Li Rui. He didn't even look at him, he just stared at Lu Jie.
Li Rui saw that he didn't take him seriously, but he didn't want to lower himself to his level. A stinky bug farted under a lion's nose. Would the lion care about it? He also didn't want to ask him the truth about today's fake complaint. He wouldn't tell the truth even if he asked, and it was very likely that he would humiliate himself. So, he just ignored him. When he caught him in the future, he would settle the old and new scores together.
That night, Li Rui had dinner by himself. As expected, Fang Qingyun didn't call to invite him. Although a lot of things happened today and Fang Qingyun was worried about it, it was understandable that she didn't have the mood and time to invite him to dinner. However, he wasn't a fool. He could see that the big and small things that happened today reflected the cracks in their relationship. Although the dinner was a small matter, it was also an external manifestation of a broken relationship. It was worth thinking about.
Before going to bed, Jiang Han suddenly called. She said that something happened at home and she had to go back to deal with it. She might come back after the May Day holiday. Li Rui told her not to rush back and to wait for the results of the county's discussion on her new acquisition. Based on the efficiency of the officials in the county, it would probably take more than a week for the official results to come out.
The next morning, Li Rui had just woken up and washed up when he heard a hurried knock on the door. He walked over with a toothbrush in his mouth and opened the door. It turned out to be the lobby manager of the guest house, Xia Yan.
Xia Yan looked anxious and ashamed. When she saw him open the door, she immediately apologized, "County Magistrate Li, I'm sorry. We didn't take care of your car and caused it to be sprayed with paint …"
Li Rui was slightly stunned. He took out his toothbrush and said, "Don't rush. Come in and let me finish brushing my teeth first." Then he turned around and ran into the bathroom.
A few minutes later, Li Rui learned the whole story from Xia Yan. It turned out that Xia Yan was on the night shift last night and was staying in the guest house. Ten minutes ago, her night shift ended and she planned to go home to change her clothes. However, when she went out of the building, she accidentally found a swear word sprayed with red paint on the hood of Li Rui's BMW X5. She was shocked when she found it. She was shocked and blamed herself. She hurriedly ran to tell Li Rui and apologized to him.
Li Rui didn't ask any more questions. He immediately went downstairs and ran to the front of the car to take a look. There were five big words and a punctuation mark on the hood of the car with bright red paint. "Fire your XX!" After looking at it, he understood that this was done by the management committee of the Fairy Cave scenic spot. Even if they didn't do it personally, they must have asked someone to do it. The word "fire" clearly showed the origin of the person who sprayed the paint. He secretly sneered. This group of people was really unscrupulous. They directly showed their identity. Weren't they afraid that he would investigate this matter and find out the culprit?
Xia Yan stretched out her slender little finger and gently tapped on the painted words. She held it in front of her eyes and looked at it. She said, "It was sprayed not long or short. My fingers can still get some of it, but it's not sticky anymore … It may be a little troublesome to clean it up, right?"
Li Rui smiled faintly and said, "It's okay. It's not a big deal. You don't have to take it to heart and you don't have to apologize. This has nothing to do with your guest house. Even if I parked in the government compound, someone could spray it."
Hearing this, Xia Yan felt a little relieved. She asked curiously, "County Magistrate Li, did you offend someone?"
Li Rui sneered contemptuously and said, "I guess so … Hehe, I haven't even gotten rid of them yet, and they already can't sit still and take revenge on my car. If I really get rid of them, won't they directly attack me? No wonder it's so difficult to reform the dynasties. If you cut off the interests of others, who would let you go? "
Xia Yan didn't quite understand, but she was smart enough not to ask more. She said, "The paint hasn't completely dried yet. Quickly find someone to clean it up. If you don't have time at work, give it to me. I'll find someone to clean it up for you. "
Li Rui didn't stand on ceremony with her. He said, "Okay, come with me to get the car keys and money."
Xia Yan waved her hand and said, "There's no need for money. I'll ask someone to drive the car to the repair shop of the government's small motorcade. Tell them that it's your car, so there's no charge."
Li Rui smiled and shook his head. He turned around and walked up the stairs. He said, "How can you do that? If it was my official car, I wouldn't have any objections. But now it's my private car. How can I waste the resources of the government? What's more, if the people who sprayed the paint know about it, they will take the opportunity to report me. Haha, I won't give them the chance. "
The reason why Li Rui said "they" and not "they" was because he felt that the ordinary cadres of the scenic spot management committee wouldn't be so angry as to deliberately come to the guest house to spray his car. They didn't know his car, so it was very likely that the director of the management committee, Wang Dan, and the others ordered them to spray his car. But now there was no evidence, and he didn't plan to investigate the person who sprayed the paint, so he could only let it go.
"Although I've been deliberately keeping a low profile, I have to admit that I've been a little complacent recently because of my powerful family and the protection of my boss. Although my official position is not as high as Fang Qingyun, Bo Yubing, and the other county leaders, I subconsciously feel that I'm on the same level as them. That's why I spoke carelessly in the Standing Committee meeting yesterday, which led to all kinds of 'retribution' later. So, in the future, I have to be careful with my words and actions. I can't make similar mistakes again. "
If it were other people, they might investigate the person who sprayed the paint in anger and find a way to "implicate" the director of the management committee, Wang Dan, and use this opportunity to exclude all the dissidents. But Li Rui didn't do that. Not only did he let the person who sprayed the paint go, but he also deeply reflected and corrected his own words and actions. It was because he knew very well that only by always keeping a clear head and constantly correcting himself could he go faster and further. If he persisted in the small conflicts in front of him, he would fall into a vicious circle and become a low-level official who only knew how to fight in the officialdom from then on.
Time passed quickly. A few days later, it was finally the lively and relaxing May Day holiday. On the night of the holiday, which was the night before the May Day holiday, Li Rui and Qingman drove back to the provincial capital, Jingnan.
Song Chaoyang and Xu Da's wedding were both held on the morning of May Day. The difference was that it was Xu Da's first marriage, so the wedding was grand, formal, and grand. They invited all their relatives and friends and were busy from five in the morning to twelve in the afternoon. Song Chaoyang was his second marriage, so he deliberately kept it low-key and didn't invite too many friends. It was more or less just a matter of drinking a cup of wine. So Li Rui and Qingman decided to go to Xu Da's wedding first and help with the preparations. When the wedding was over and the banquet started, they would rush to Song Chaoyang's wedding to congratulate him.
When they arrived in Jingnan, it was already late at night. Li Rui first sent Qingman to the Provincial Party Committee's house, then drove to Xu Da's new house. When he entered the house, he was immediately overjoyed. All his old friends, both old and new, had already arrived.
His old friends were Lu Xing and An Zengqi, both from Jingnan. An Zengqi was accompanied by Wei Yumeng, a beautiful English teacher from Shannan University, who was also an old friend of Li Rui. She was now An Zengqi's new wife. An Zengqi's years of pursuit finally moved her heart. The two got married last year. Xu Da's old classmate and good friend, Kang Zhiwei, who had already become Tang Su's bodyguard. Xie Duzhong had just rushed over from Huangzhou today. Beside him stood Long Baoyu, who should be a new friend. After leaving Qingyang, Young Master Long went to Huangzhou to hang out with the Xie siblings for a while. Before Xu Da's wedding, he rushed over with the siblings.
In addition to Long Baoyu, there were also two new friends, Murong Rong and Lanshan. The two girls did not know Xu Da, but on the basis that friends of friends were also friends, they specially rushed over from the capital to attend the wedding. At the same time, they also witnessed the swearing ceremony of Li Rui, Xu Da, Long Baoyu, and Xie Duzhong, four good friends. To put it bluntly, they were just looking for good friends to hang out. The two girls had lived in the capital for a long time. Although they had made many friends, there were very few friends who came from rare backgrounds and had strange experiences like Li Rui, Xu Da, and Xie Duzhong. They were full of curiosity about their lives, so they wanted to join in the fun whenever they had the chance.
In addition to these new and old friends, there were also more than ten people sitting or standing in the living room. Li Rui reckoned that they were all Xu Da's relatives. They did not know each other on normal days, but now that they were fated to meet on the same occasion, they naturally nodded and smiled as a greeting.
The door of Xu Da and Yang Qingqing's wedding bedroom was half open. Bright lights and shadows were reflected from inside, and from time to time, there were sounds of laughter and laughter. Most of the voices were female, and there were almost no male voices. They did not know who was inside, but the owner of the house, Xu Da, should be inside. The people he was entertaining should be some female relatives, and they did not know if the future hostess, Yang Qingqing, was inside.
