Lu Yuanyuan said bitterly, "What's the point of making a comeback? My reputation will be tarnished soon. I'm afraid that everyone in Shuanghe County will know that I'm Meng Shuhai's mistress. "
Li Rui said, "No, this investigation is led by the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection. It won't spread to the county. If the county wants to punish you, Secretary Fang will keep it a secret. What are you worried about?"
Lu Yuanyuan thought for a while and sighed, "That's the only way. Don't worry. Tell Secretary Fang not to worry. I know what to do."
After hanging up the phone, Li Rui thought of Meng Shuhai's character and felt endless disdain in his heart. Then, he thought of the ugly identity of a mistress hidden under Lu Yuanyuan's beautiful appearance. He couldn't help but feel like casting pearls before swine. He sighed and turned back to the building.
When he got off work in the evening, Li Rui received a message from Bo Yubing. She said, "You don't have to wait until you come back to treat me to dinner. You can treat me tonight."
Li Rui smiled when he saw this message. His heart rippled as he replied, "What do you want to eat?"
Bo Yubing replied quickly, "You choose. Tell me when you've decided. Don't go to crowded places."
Li Rui was worried after reading it. He hadn't been to Shuanghe for long, and he had only been to 10% or 20% of the restaurants in the county, and these 10% or 20% were all crowded places. It seemed that he had to open up a new restaurant. Of course, if he didn't want to eat in a crowded county, he could go to a place near the Fairy Cave scenic spot to eat. There weren't many tourists in the Fairy Cave scenic spot on weekdays, and there were even fewer people at night. Any restaurant there would be quiet, but the problem was that it took about an hour to drive to the Fairy Cave scenic spot, which was too far away.
"Forget it. I'll just find a restaurant with fewer people in the county!"
Li Rui made up his mind. He packed up his things and went downstairs with his briefcase. He got into a taxi at the gate of the courtyard and told the driver to drive to the East Ring Road. In his impression, the West Ring Road was bustling and the East Ring Road was deserted. He would find a restaurant in the East Ring Road.
Ten minutes later, Li Rui found a Straw Hat Fish Specialty Store on East Ring Road. This store had just opened, and the decorations were all brand new. There were no cars parked at the entrance, and there were not many customers in the store. Li Rui immediately decided to eat at this restaurant. He walked into the restaurant and asked for a private room. Then, he sent a message to Bo Yubing and asked her to come here.
The so-called "Straw Hat Fish" was actually Steam Pot Fish. The steam pot was covered with an old-fashioned straw hat, which was how it got its name. Since it was a special stone pot, it needed to be built on a round marble table. Therefore, the restaurant didn't have a large hall like ordinary restaurants. Instead, there were private rooms, and each private room had a pot. In this way, Li Rui and Bo Yubing could eat, drink, and talk in the private room without worrying about being seen by others.
Li Rui estimated that Bo Yubing would arrive soon, so he ordered fish and cold dishes after sending her a message. However, after waiting for half an hour, when the fish was almost cooked and the fish soup was ready to drink, she still hadn't arrived. He was a little anxious from waiting and couldn't help but call her. When she picked up, he asked, "Why aren't you here yet?"
Bo Yubing's annoyed voice came from the other end. "What's the rush? I'll be here soon. "Then, she hung up.
After waiting for another ten minutes, Li Rui had already drunk two bowls of fish soup. Bo Yubing finally arrived and walked into the private room.
When Li Rui got up to greet her, he was a little surprised that she had changed her clothes. She was wearing a white long-sleeved knitted sweater with a V-neck. Her breasts were towering, and her waist was prominent. She was wearing a pair of sky-blue skinny straight jeans, which showed off her slender and plump thighs. She was wearing thin nude stockings on her feet, and the texture of her skin was clear. She was wearing a pair of black high heels, which made her look tall and graceful. She was carrying a bronze leather handbag in her hand. With such an outfit, she was no longer the cold and dignified female county magistrate, but a fashionable and charming urban beauty. The only flaw was that the wound on her forehead hadn't healed, and there was still a blood scab.
Li Rui couldn't help but smile when he saw what she was wearing.
When Bo Yubing entered the private room, she looked at him fiercely. When she saw him smile, her pretty face suddenly turned red, and she scolded him fiercely, "What are you laughing at?"
Li Rui gestured for her to sit at the head of the table and said, "Nothing. I was wondering why you came so late. It turns out that you were changing your clothes."
Bo Yubing's face turned even redder. She didn't dare to look at him, let alone talk nonsense with him. She sat at the head of the table and put her handbag on the seat next to her.
Li Rui scooped a bowl of delicious fish soup for her and handed it to her. "Have a bowl of soup first."
Bo Yubing didn't stand on ceremony with him. She took the bowl and scooped a spoonful of fresh soup into her mouth. She savored the taste, nodded, and drank half the bowl in one go. She nodded and said, "The taste is not bad."
Li Rui heard her praise and his face lit up. "Not bad. Drink more and eat. By the way, what do you want to drink?"
Bo Yubing raised her eyebrows and looked at him. "Of course I want to drink soup. Isn't there a ready-made fish soup? What else do you want to drink? "
Li Rui agreed and used the serving chopsticks to pick up a piece of plump and boneless fish belly for her. He picked up a cold dish and ate it. Bo Yubing didn't talk to him and just ate and drank silently. In the first few minutes, neither of them said anything and didn't show anything. However, after a while, neither of them spoke and the atmosphere in the private room became a little awkward.
Li Rui couldn't help it and coughed softly. Bo Yubing heard his words and looked up at him from the corner of her eyes.
Li Rui said in a low voice, "Mr. Jiang's acquisition proposal was rejected by Secretary Fang. However, Wang Dan, the director of the management committee of the scenic area, recommended a new boss. This new boss, Mr. Zheng, added 50 million yuan on top of Mr. Jiang's down payment and made 300 million yuan. However, the total acquisition price was reduced to 1 billion yuan and the acquisition period was also 30 years. Secretary Fang and the others accepted."
Bo Yubing frowned and put down her chopsticks. She sat up straight and asked, "Why? Is it because Fang Qingyun and the others can't handle it, or did they take advantage of Mr. Zheng? "After that, she said in a deep tone," Fang Qingyun didn't tell me about this. "She looked a little angry.
Of course, she had a reason to be angry. Even though Fang Qingyun was the secretary of the county committee and had the most power in the county, she still had to communicate with her, the acting county head. Fang Qingyun didn't discuss with her in advance and only accepted it with the committee members close to her. Moreover, she didn't tell her after accepting it. Obviously, she wanted to wait until the committee meeting to suppress her with a huge advantage of people and votes. At that time, whether she accepted it or not, she would be forced to accept it with no room for negotiation. Who wouldn't be angry? Fortunately, she had a good temper. If it were someone else, they would have slammed the table and stood up.
Li Rui whispered, "They're very good at settling accounts. They didn't take advantage of that Chief Zheng. The only reason they accepted it was because Chief Zheng was very resourceful. He made friends with Mayor Yu Heping."
Bo Yubing suddenly understood. Her brows relaxed, but she quickly frowned again. This was related to the mayor, so she had to ask clearly. She asked in a low voice, "There are many kinds of relationships between Mr. Zheng and the mayor. Are they just acquaintances or are they important businessmen? Or are they the spokespeople for the mayor's interests? Are you clear? "
Li Rui considered his choice of words and said, "None of the relationships you mentioned are true. Chief Zheng and the mayor know each other and have a good relationship, but at the moment, there shouldn't be any mutual interest between them. They're just making their own money. However, if Mr. Zheng has something to ask of the mayor, the mayor should give her face. She relied on this point to buy the Fairy Cave scenic spot at a low price. Secretary Fang and the others valued her relationship with the mayor and were afraid that she would complain to the mayor, so they reluctantly accepted her acquisition. I clearly don't accept this and am persuading Secretary Fang to reject it. He's thinking about it and I hope he will change his mind. "
Bo Yubing rolled her beautiful eyes and looked at him with a smile. "Did you persuade Fang Qingyun to reject Mr. Zheng because you want him to accept Mr. Jiang's acquisition? You're actually the spokesperson for Mr. Jiang's interests, aren't you? "
Li Rui sneered and said, "Nonsense, I'm not the spokesperson for anyone's interests. If I have to say that I'm the spokesperson for a certain party, then I'm the spokesperson for Shuanghe County's interests."
This time, it was Bo Yubing's turn to laugh. She laughed happily, her face full of disdain, but her eyes were full of friendliness. This complicated expression made her beautiful face more three-dimensional, more vivid, and more charming. This mature and beautiful woman exuded infinite charm at this moment. It was something that young beauties did not have. Even iron men would melt when they saw her smile.
She laughed and said, "Don't make yourself sound so righteous! It's useless to deny it. You're the spokesperson for her interests. You've already eaten together in private, so how dare you say you didn't collude? Hmph, I don't believe you. "
Li Rui spread his arms and complained, "How is that possible? According to your theory, we've also eaten together in private, so we're also colluding? "
Bo Yubing was not angry. She said leisurely, "You've already colluded with Mr. Jiang, so how can I collude with you? Think before you speak! "After that, she ignored him and began to eat and drink again.
Li Rui smiled and pushed a few cold dishes in front of her. He also picked up a few pieces of fish for her.
Bo Yubing said indifferently, "Eat your food, don't worry about me."
Li Rui said, "I'm treating you to a meal. How can I ignore you?"
Bo Yubing's mouth twitched. It seemed like she was smiling, but it also seemed like she was sneering. She did not speak.
After dinner, it was still early, not even eight o 'clock. Li Rui brought Bo Yubing downstairs and stood by the roadside to hail a taxi.
"You go back by yourself. I'll take a walk." Bo Yubing said and walked back the way she came with her bag.
