When he thought of this, he felt as if a huge rock had been placed on his heart. He thought about it again and suddenly shivered. Aiya, even the Gao siblings knew that the Zhang brat was pursuing Qingman. As the person involved, Lu Qingman acted as if nothing had happened and never told him about it. Could it be that she already had some thoughts in her heart?
Suddenly, he shivered. Although the sun was shining brightly outside, his heart was cold. His first thought was to call Lu Qingman and ask her about this matter. However, after thinking about it, if he suddenly asked her about this kind of thing, it would more or less make her feel guilty. It would definitely make her lose face, and it might even lead to a quarrel. In addition, it would also betray the Gao siblings. If that happened, he would be in a bad position. No, no, no. This matter cannot be rushed. It needs to be considered at length.
He thought about how he had just taught the Ji Xiaojia to be calm and not be easily agitated. He said to himself, "Since you're teaching others, you have to do it yourself first. Otherwise, how can you have the face to ask others to do it?" He then thought that there was no point in being anxious about this kind of thing. If Qingman's mind was firm and she was not tempted, even if she did not tell him about this matter, she would keep her nose clean and take effective measures to avoid harassment. However, if she developed feelings for the provincial governor's son and fell in love with someone else, then it would be useless for him to blame her. In short, he just had to calmly wait for the situation to develop. There was nothing special that he needed to do.
After persuading himself for a while, he felt a little better. However, when he thought about how Lu Qingman did not tell him about this matter, it was like a thorn in his heart. It was very uncomfortable. On second thought, he could not just rely on her. When he was having fun with Yuan Jingjing, Yao Xuefei, and the others, when did he ever consider her feelings? When he thought about this, the guilt rushed into his heart like the sea breaking through a dam. He began to feel ashamed and self-blame.
At around three in the afternoon, Li Rui was busy working when he suddenly received a call from the security staff at the elevator lobby.
The Municipal Party Committee building had set up a security post on the floor where the Standing Committee members were located. The post was located at the intersection of the elevator hall and the corridor. The purpose was to prevent unknown people from entering the Standing Committee members' floor and affecting their work or even causing harm to them. Regardless of whether they were from upstairs or downstairs, if they wanted to enter the corridor on this floor, they had to be checked by the security personnel. The staff of the municipal government had to show their work permits to enter, while the other staff had to show their letters of introduction or other documents that could prove their identity. Therefore, this security post could be said to be the last line of defense for Song Chaoyang and the other members of the Municipal Party Committee. It was also the most important protective umbrella.
The staff said respectfully, "Director Li, we have a female reporter here. Based on her work permit, she is from CCTV. She said she knows you and wants to see you. Do you want to see her?" In Li Rui's mind, the scene of the rescue of the two CCTV reporters at the Heiyaogou Coal Mine in Xi County had not faded away. When he heard this, he immediately thought of the beautiful reporter, Zhuang Haixia, and asked, "Is her surname Zhuang?" The staff said, "Yes, Zhuang Haixia. Since you know her, we let her in." Although Li Rui was very curious about why she came to find him, he still said, "Okay."
In less than a minute, Zhuang Haixia appeared outside Li Rui's office.
Li Rui saw that she was looking left and right, and when her eyes landed on him, she froze for a moment and acted a little silly. He couldn't help but laugh, but in his heart, he thought, A beautiful woman is a beautiful woman. Even if she looks sneaky, she is still so beautiful. He stood up to welcome her and said, "Reporter Zhuang, why are you here?" As he spoke, he carefully looked at her. He saw that after not seeing her for a few days, her skin seemed to have darkened, her face looked a little haggard, and her body was thinner. If she could be described as slim before, then the most suitable word for her now would be "thin." She was not far from the level of being skinny. But what was strange was that the darker and thinner this woman was, the more beautiful she looked. Especially her beautiful eyes, which were set off by her already thin oval face. Her eyes were bright and dazzling, and he couldn't help but praise her in his heart.
Speaking of which, Zhuang Haixia had been thinking about him these days. Of course, it wasn't the warm kind of thinking, but the feeling of resentment and shame. Whenever she thought about how disobedient he was and how rude he was to her, she couldn't help but feel angry. Of course, sometimes when she calmed down and thought about it, he was still a great kindness to her, and her attitude towards him wasn't very good. After thinking about it, it just so happened that there was no progress in the investigation of the Heiyaogu Coal Mine disaster. That day, she hitched a ride from the Municipal Public Security Bureau to Qingyang to see him. Now that they suddenly met, she saw that his attitude towards her was quite good. Her heart warmed, and the resentment she had for many days disappeared. She smiled and said, "I'm here … to thank you for saving my life."
Li Rui invited her to sit on the sofa, poured her tea, and handed it to her. He said, "Reporter Zhuang, you don't have to be so polite. You haven't returned to Beijing yet? " Zhuang Haixia was really thirsty. She took a sip of tea and nodded. "Yes, I've been staying in Heiyaogu Village to participate in the investigation of the mine disaster." Li Rui saw that there was a black mark on her right cheek near her ear. It looked like a coal mark. He smiled and said, "Did you go to the mine again?" Zhuang Haixia didn't understand what he meant. She shook her head and said, "No, ever since you rescued me, I haven't been to the mine again. I swore that I would never go there again. Now, I only dream about the mine. "
Li Rui could empathize with the pain she felt when she was imprisoned, and his heart was full of sympathy. He asked, "Then why is there a coal mark on your face?" Zhuang Haixia was slightly startled, and asked, "Where?" She quickly opened her small bag and took out a small mirror. She looked around and saw the black mark. Her expression changed slightly. She used her finger to point at it. She brought her finger to her eyes and saw that the skin of her finger was black. Her expression changed greatly. She stood up and said, "When did you get this on my face?"
Li Rui naturally didn't know the answer, so he didn't say anything.
Zhuang Haixia quickly became angry again. "How annoying. Such a big coal mark. The policemen in the car must have seen it, but no one told me. They made me look like a fool." Li Rui held back his laughter and said, "Come out. I'll take you to the bathroom."
The two of them walked out of the room. Li Rui took her to the bathroom and returned to the office. After waiting for a few minutes, Zhuang Haixia appeared at the door refreshed. There were still a few drops of water on her forehead.
Li Rui raised his head to look at her. After washing her face, although her skin was still dark, she had a more pure and moving aura than before. He thought to himself, 'To be able to make my heart beat so fast without any makeup, her beauty is slightly better than my godsister, Bai Bing.'
Zhuang Haixia was a generous and outgoing woman. She didn't treat Li Rui as an outsider. She quickly walked back to the sofa, picked up the paper cup, and drank the tea.
Li Rui walked over, saying, "Let me get you another cup." Zhuang Haixia shook her head, saying, "No, I'm not thirsty anymore." Li Rui asked, "How's the investigation of the mining accident?" Zhuang Haixia frowned, saying disheartenedly, "It turns out that Lui Hai and I were too naive at that time. Heiaogou Coal Mine … Er, including Xi County, the water is very deep. "Li Rui said," Oh? No progress in the investigation? "Zhuang Haixia looked at him," Didn't the city send an investigation team? "Li Rui said," Yes, two in total. One is a special task force sent by the public security system to investigate the illegal imprisonment of you and Lui Hai; the other is a joint investigation team formed by the Commission for Discipline Inspection, Safety Supervision Bureau and Public Security Bureau to investigate the mining accident. "
Zhuang Haixia sighed, "It should be one or two days after I was rescued by you. When the investigation team arrived at Heiaogou Coal Mine, Qin Daming, the deputy director of the Safety Supervision Bureau of Xi County, was missing. The families of the dead miners also seemed to have evaporated. None of them could be found. I once found many graves on the hills near the coal mine. It was said that they were the graves of the victims of the mining accident. But when the investigation team arrived, it had been razed to the ground and nothing could be found. "Li Rui was shocked, saying," Even the coffins and urns inside were gone? "Zhuang Haixia nodded silently.
Li Rui cried out involuntarily, "How shady is this?" Zhuang Haixia nodded, "The current situation is that the person in charge of the coal mine refused to admit the mining accident and denied giving money to the victims' families. The Safety Supervision Bureau of Xi County also denied that the mining accident happened. The investigation team investigated the miners in the coal mine and found that many of the miners were newly recruited from Sichuan. They didn't know what happened before at all. "Li Rui said," Aren't there thousands of miners in the mine? Are they all newly recruited? " Zhuang Haixia shook his head, "The output of Heiaogou Coal Mine is not as good as before. Now there are only hundreds of miners in the mine and most of them are recruited from Sichuan. The mine manager Meng Sanjin said that the labor cost in Sichuan was low so he abandoned the local miners. "
