Yesterday, in order to help Yang Peng avoid being blackmailed by Black Panther, he and Ji Fei went to Old Cripple Zheng's place. They begged him and tried their best to get him to drink. They didn't even hesitate to sacrifice their own bodies. That was how he managed to gain some favor from Old Cripple Zheng and was reprimanded by Old Cripple Zheng. However, in the end, it was useless. Black Panther still went to look for Yang Peng this morning. In other words, not only did he and Ji Fei make a wasted trip, but they also lost face and self-esteem in front of the underworld. Comparing this to what happened today, the contrast was huge. The results were also very different. On the contrary, one could clearly see the weight of Song Chaoyang as the Municipal Party Committee's secretary.
One order, one sentence, and Black Panther's group would be wiped out!
What favor, what power, what negotiation, what roundabout ways to save the country … Everything could be disregarded!
One order, and all of you would be finished!
What kind of power was this?!
At this moment, Li Ruixin suddenly had a strong desire that he had never had before. He wanted to be an official! Moreover, he wanted to be a high-ranking official. The higher the rank, the more power he would have. Many problems that were difficult for ordinary people to solve were not even considered a problem in the eyes of a high-ranking official. Just by opening your mouth, you didn't need to do it yourself. Your subordinates would have to obediently follow your orders. Sometimes, you didn't even need to open your mouth. Just by showing a little bit of your intention, people would rush to do it for you. This was where the power of a high-ranking official came from.
"Damn it, I must be a high-ranking official, and I must be a high-ranking official as soon as possible!"
Li Rui cursed under his breath. He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. He used this method to encourage himself before returning to the banquet.
He returned to his seat, chatted with others for a while, and continued to eat and drink.
When the city leaders received Song Yuanming, a leader from the province, they would more or less drink some white wine. These secretaries didn't dare to go too far. They either didn't drink or drank some beer. They all knew their limits and didn't dare to show any signs of drunkenness on their faces or smell of alcohol.
Li Rui only asked for a glass of beer. Moreover, when other people came over to offer him a toast, they would not drink the beer immediately. Instead, they would only take a sip. Their intention was to have a glass of beer with every meal.
During the banquet, his left calf was lightly kicked by someone. He looked down and saw Jin Rui's left leg reaching over. This girl had to sit with her legs crossed while eating. Her left leg hung above her right leg, and her left calf slipped to the left side of his left leg. Perhaps it was because her shoe size was too big, but the heel of the flat leather shoes she was wearing fell off, revealing part of her slender feet wrapped in flesh-colored stockings, which made her look even more graceful and graceful.
Li Rui saw this scene and couldn't help but salivate a little faster. He had no choice but to use the opportunity of drinking beer to swallow his saliva. His hands were itchy, and he really wanted to reach down and play with her feet for a while.
Jin Rui just had to tease him at this time. She came over with a glass of beer and said with a smile, "Director Li, let me toast you." Li Rui raised his glass and clinked it with hers. After Jin Rui drank a mouthful of beer, she picked up a large prawn and placed it on his plate. She looked at him charmingly, as if she was trying to flatter him. Li Rui saw her expression and his heart moved. This little disciple couldn't have fallen in love with her master, right? Was she trying to copy Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu and play a master-disciple relationship?
After the banquet ended, some of the leaders returned home, while others checked into a hotel room to rest. Song Chaoyang and Song Yuanming had a good personal relationship. They hadn't seen each other in a long time, so they took the opportunity to chat in Song Chaoyang's room in the VIP building.
After Li Rui served tea to the two of them, he left the VIP building and called Ji Xiaojia.
Ji Xiaojia had been selected by Zheng Zijuan to accompany her on her research. She was happy, but also worried. She understood that this was only a part of the interview, and it was even more important than the weekend interview. If she passed this interview, it wouldn't be a problem for her to be Zheng Zijuan's secretary. If she didn't pass, then she probably wouldn't have a chance. Therefore, when she received the notice, she immediately called Li Rui to ask for advice. Unfortunately, Li Rui was in a meeting and didn't have time to talk to her. She waited and waited for who knew how long, but Li Rui still didn't call to teach her. She was so anxious that she couldn't help but call her father, Ji Fei, to ask for help.
Ji Fei was a business-oriented bureau chief. He had never been a secretary and didn't know what a secretary was supposed to do. Therefore, he couldn't help his precious daughter at all. He urged her to continue waiting, saying that Li Rui was a trustworthy person. Since he said he would call her, then he would definitely call. She just had to wait. If he really couldn't wait, then there was nothing she could do. She could only resign herself to fate.
After Ji Xiaojia called her father, she became even more anxious and angry. In just a short while, a small flame appeared at the corner of her mouth. She was angry and anxious, and her heart was in a mess. She wanted to curse Li Rui to vent her anger.
At this moment, Li Rui called her.
Finally, he called her. Ji Xiaojia's anger had already disappeared without a trace. She said excitedly and sadly, "Brother Li, you finally called." Li Rui said, "You must be anxious from waiting." Ji Xiaojia said, "I was so anxious that there were flame blisters at the corner of my mouth." Li Rui almost laughed out loud, but he quickly held it in and said, "When you become a leader's secretary, you must remember not to get angry easily. You must be steady and calm." Ji Xiaojia said, "I haven't become a leader's secretary yet." Li Rui said, "Yes, take it slow. Just remember to cultivate this kind of temperament …"
Ji Xiaojia had already prepared a lot of questions. After exchanging pleasantries with him, she asked them one by one. Li Rui answered her questions one by one and reminded her of some things that she needed to pay attention to … This phone call lasted for more than half an hour.
After comforting Ji Xiaojia with great difficulty, Li Rui didn't have time to rest. His ears and mouth were already dry when another call came in. The caller ID was from a landline in the provincial capital. It was an unknown number that had never been saved in his phone.
Li Rui waited for two more calls. After confirming that it wasn't a harassment call, he picked it up.
Li Rui said, "Yes, I am. May I ask who you are?" The other person said, "You don't recognize me?" Li Rui said apologetically, "It sounds familiar, but I really can't remember where I've heard it before. I'm very sorry." The other person said, "You don't need to be sorry, you don't owe me anything, rather, I owe you." Li Rui was very puzzled. After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't think of any man in the provincial capital who owed him anything. He smiled and asked, "Then you are?" The other person said, "Gao Dongdong, I really have to hand it to you. Your memory is so bad."
When he heard that the other person said that he was Gao Dongdong, Li Rui was stunned. Because of Qingman, Gao Dongdong and he didn't get along very well. They almost became life and death enemies. Although his father, Gao Guotai, and Qingman's father, Lu Zhouxing, mediated and resolved the grudge, they didn't become friends. Under such an awkward situation, why would he suddenly call? But no matter what, he already called. He couldn't just hang up. He pretended to be friendly and said, "So it's Brother Dongdong. Hello, why did you suddenly think of me?" When Gao Dongdong heard him call him so intimately, he cursed in his heart for being a hypocrite. He resentfully said, "I called to tell you something. You have a rival."
When Li Rui heard this, he was slightly stunned and said, "What do you mean?" Gao Dongdong said, "Someone is chasing after Lu Qingman." Li Rui was shocked and said, "Really?" Gao Dongdong said, "My sister said it. She's seen that guy before. He's Zhang Gaosong's son. He just came back from America and started chasing after Lu Qingman." When he heard him mention Gao Zixuan, Li Rui's eyes flashed with that super beautiful face. But he didn't have time to think about it and asked, "Who is Zhang Gaosong?" Gao Dongdong said, "Zhang Gaosong was our Shannan's Provincial Party Deputy Secretary. He was born and raised in Jingnan. When the provincial leadership changed, he was transferred to Shanbei Province to become the Governor."
When Li Rui heard this, he sucked in a breath of cold air. Good lord, this rival's background was not small. He was a little depressed and asked, "Why are you telling me this?" Gao Dongdong said, "I took care of you twice and even let you get stabbed. No matter what, I owe you. I'm telling you this to make it up to you. "Li Rui secretly nodded and asked," Why is he chasing after Qingman? "Gao Dongdong said," Don't ask me. I don't know who to ask. I'm just giving you a reminder. Don't think that you can sit back and relax just because Lu Qingman will definitely marry you. That's because there hasn't been a rival before. Now, hehe, you have a rival, and he's close to you. You should think about it carefully. "He didn't wait for him to ask and hung up the phone.
