Li Rui walked him to the door and returned to sit for a while. He decided to listen to Du Minsheng's suggestion. However, now was not the time to go to the First Secretary's Department. He had to wait until Song Chaoyang no longer needed him.
Song Chaoyang worked in his office until noon and did not arrange anything for Li Rui. When it was time for lunch, Song Chaoyang came out of his office and asked Li Rui to take him to the Municipal Party Committee's cafeteria for lunch.
The Municipal Party Committee's cafeteria was behind the Municipal Party Committee's building. It was a two-story building painted pink. The cafeteria on the first floor provided large pots of rice and was only open during meal times. The second floor provided custom-made stir-fry dishes that could be ordered on demand. It was similar to a restaurant.
The two had just walked up the steps to the cafeteria's entrance when two middle-aged men walked up to them with smiles on their faces. They seemed to have made an appointment and greeted him together. "Song Chaoyang."
Song Chaoyang did not know these two men at all, but he still smiled and nodded at them.
Li Rui initially thought that the two men had come up to greet Song Chaoyang because they had coincidentally seen him. However, after careful observation, he realized that they seemed to have other intentions. The two of them stood in front and behind, blocking Song Chaoyang's path. The man in front was well-dressed and had the aura of a leader. The man behind him had a big belly and a thick gold necklace around his neck and an old-fashioned mobile phone on his belt. He was chubby and looked more like a boss. Judging from their positions, the man behind him was obviously lower in status than the man in front.
If it was just a greeting, why would he need to block the path of the Municipal Party Committee's Secretary? Who would have the guts to do that?
Just as Li Rui was guessing their identities, the man in front said respectfully, "Song Chaoyang, I am the Deputy Director of the Municipal Affairs Administration's Cafeteria. My name is Gao Yiping …" He turned slightly and pointed at the fat man behind him. "This is the manager of the Municipal Party Committee's Cafeteria, Wang Dahu …"
Song Chaoyang extended his hand and said, "So it's Chief Gao and Manager Wang. Nice to meet you." He shook hands with both of them. The two of them were flattered to see him being so amiable, especially Wang Dahu, who was shaking his head like a rattle-drum.
Gao Yiping said sincerely, "Song Shuji, it's your first day on the job and you've come to our cafeteria for a meal. This shows how much you value our cafeteria and also shows that you support our work. It's our honor and the honor of all the staff in the cafeteria. When the canteen staff knew that you were coming to eat, they were very excited and wanted to come out to welcome you. However, I was afraid that it would affect the canteen's normal business, so I didn't allow them to come out. I only brought Manager Wang. The two of us represent all the staff in the cafeteria to express our gratitude for your support of our work. We also want to express our warmest welcome to you. "
His words were very appropriate. After Li Rui heard it, he secretly praised him. After all, he was a cadre that served the city leaders. He could say such bureaucratic words so easily, and it was very pleasant to hear. Not only did it not make people feel disgusted, but it also made people have a good impression of him. Although there were some suspicions of flattery in it.
Song Chaoyang smiled and said, "Okay, I also want to thank Chief Gao and Manager Wang for welcoming me. Please also thank everyone for me."
He only said this one sentence.
Gao Yiping was very obedient and said, "Then we won't delay Song Shuji's meal." He then moved to the side.
Song Chaoyang nodded to him and stepped into the door. Li Rui was about to follow him in when Wang Dahu came up and said in a low voice, "Hello, Chief Li, hehe …"
Li Rui was shocked. It was already amazing that these two could find out that Song Chaoyang officially started work today. Who knew that they could also find out about him, a small figure. How thoughtful. He smiled and said, "Manager Wang, don't call me that. I'm not a chief." Wang Dahu laughed and said, "You're not now, but you will be tomorrow. Uh … These are the meal cards for our cafeteria. Song Shuji will give one to each of you. You can use them freely on the first and second floors of our cafeteria. You can keep them. "He then handed over two simple dark blue meal cards.
Li Rui hesitated whether to take them or not. Gao Yiping came over and said warmly, "Chief Li, you don't have to be so polite. This is what we should do to serve the leaders. Hehe." Li Rui looked at him and he responded with a sincere smile.
Li Rui could only accept them and said to the two, "Thank you." Wang Dahu shook his head and said with a simple and honest smile, "You don't have to thank us. This is what we should do. If Chief Li has any orders in the future, just tell us and we won't hesitate. "
Even though the other party was only a small cafeteria manager, Li Rui felt like he was a leader for the first time. He felt light as a feather, as if he was flying in the sky and floating on the clouds. His whole body and mind were very happy … This feeling was too wonderful, too wonderful for words.
Gao Yiping said, "Manager Wang said what I wanted to say. Chief Li, if you need anything in the future, just tell me. As long as I can do it, I won't hesitate. "
Li Rui looked at the righteous Deputy Director Gao in front of him, who was at least ten years older than him, but called himself a brother. He felt really embarrassed, so he smiled and nodded at him, but his heart was very excited.
Gao Yiping was very good at dealing with people. He kindly reminded Li Rui, "Then Chief Li, we won't delay you from eating with Song Shuji. Hurry up and go find Song Shuji. We'll go get busy." Li Rui nodded and said, "Okay, thank you both." Gao Yiping waved his hand and hurriedly left with Wang Dahu.
After lunch, the two walked out of the cafeteria leisurely.
Song Chaoyang said, "The food in the cafeteria is not bad." Li Ruixin said that the first cafeteria was specially provided for the staff of the Municipal Party Committee. How could the food be wrong? In his mind, he thought of the two meal cards in his trouser pocket.
The two IC cards that Wang Dahu gave him had a fixed amount of money. It would always be one thousand RMB. No matter how he swiped it, the one thousand RMB would never drop. As long as the POS system in the cafeteria didn't change, the two cards would always be valid. It was equivalent to two "golden meal tickets" that would never be used up. From now on, Li Rui could eat alone or with a group of people. He would never have to worry about paying the bill.
Of course, compared to the two priceless meal cards, Gao Yiping and Wang Dahu's attitude made Li Rui even more excited. Although the meal cards were priceless, they could only be used to eat. They couldn't be used for anything else. Gao Yiping and Wang Dahu's initiative seemed to be hinting to him that as long as he was willing, there would be many other benefits. Once again, he deeply felt the huge benefits of being the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. And this was just the beginning. As long as he could sit firmly in the position of Song Chaoyang's secretary, there would be more and more benefits in the future.
How to treat the benefits that were sent to him was also a problem.
In fact, when they were eating, Li Rui had already told Song Chaoyang about Wang Dahu's gift of the cards and the tricks in the cards. At that time, Song Chaoyang didn't say anything.
Not saying anything was a tacit agreement. Li Rui knew that accepting the two meal cards wasn't a problem. In fact, it wasn't like the Municipal Party Committee's secretary had to pay for his own meals in the Municipal Party Committee's cafeteria. And as the secretary's confidant, he naturally had the right to take advantage of this. Besides, the cafeteria didn't have any delicacies, abalone, or shark's fin. Even if he took the two meal cards and ate all day in Tianshan, how much money would he waste?
The two of them walked a few steps. Song Chaoyang suddenly asked, "You once participated in the disaster relief in Shuanghe County. Do you know any of the local leaders? The level doesn't matter, but they must be first-line leaders. " Li Rui instantly thought of the beautiful, generous, gentle, and amiable Jiupo Town's deputy secretary, Li Yulan. He nodded and said, "I know one. She's the deputy secretary of the town's party committee in the disaster area. She's a female leader." Song Chaoyang said, "It doesn't matter if she's a man or a woman. Tomorrow morning, we'll go to Shuanghe County. If it's as expected, everything we see and hear will be arranged by the county government. I don't want to read their official documents. When we get there, we'll go directly to the village affected by the disaster. Call the deputy secretary and let her arrange our itinerary. "
Li Rui was surprised and happy. Song Chaoyang not only gave him a chance to perform, but also gave him a chance to meet Li Yulan. That woman was beautiful, generous, gentle, and affectionate. Ever since he left the disaster area in Jiupo Town, he had missed her more than once. He hurriedly said, "Yes, no problem. I'll arrange this matter. I guarantee that you'll see the truest side of the disaster area." Song Chaoyang saw that he was smart and was very pleased. He nodded happily.
Back in the office, Li Rui immediately called Li Yulan. He was very excited.
Li Yulan was very surprised to receive his call. She said cheerfully, "Director Li, is that you?" Li Rui felt that she was treating him as an outsider. He wanted to say something to her, but he was afraid that Song Chaoyang next door would hear him. He could only use a formal tone and said, "Hello, Secretary Li. It's me, Li Rui." Li Yulan smiled and said, "Great leader, I thought you had forgotten about me." Li Ruixin said, "What kind of leader am I? This woman is really cute. It's like this. I need your help with something." Li Yulan said straightforwardly, "Just say it. As long as I can help, I'll definitely help." Li Rui said, "First of all, you have to keep this matter a secret. Other than you, you can't let anyone know about this. Even if your county's secretary asks you, you can't say anything." Li Yulan was slightly surprised and said, "What's going on?" Li Rui said, "Can you keep it a secret?" Li Yulan said blankly, "I can do it, but what exactly is it? Don't scare me."
Li Rui then told her about Song Chaoyang's instructions. Naturally, he also told her that he had been promoted to secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. Otherwise, this call would not be legitimate.
The amount of information contained in this call was too much. Li Yulan was dumbfounded after hearing it, but soon she began to have concerns. She was worried that this arrangement would go against the Shuanghe county's government. If that happened, she would not be able to establish herself in the county. Li Rui assured her that he would solve all her worries. Only then did she reluctantly agree.
Li Yulan finally said coquettishly, "You're really tricking me! I'm telling you, if I'm fired by the county, you have to take responsibility for me. " Li Rui felt that her words were full of ambiguity. His heart moved and he said softly, "I'll take responsibility. Don't worry." Li Yulan said angrily, "You bad guy …"
