Lao Zhou nodded his head in agreement.
Li Rui did not dare to ride the Municipal Party Committee's Car No. 1 in the provincial capital. He hurriedly refused and had Lao Zhou stop the car by the roadside. He and Du Weiyu alighted and took a taxi to Lu Qingman's house.
Lu Qingman had already received a call from her uncle, Du Minsheng. She was busy preparing lunch. She had prepared four dishes and a soup and was eagerly waiting for the two of them to arrive. It was almost twelve o 'clock when Li Rui and Du Weiyu finally arrived. When the three of them met, there was naturally an affectionate scene. However, what made Li Rui depressed was that after Lu Qingman saw this cousin of his, she no longer paid any attention to him. She was a little cold. Even during lunch, she took care of Du Weiyu more, serving her food and drinks. She was very busy.
Li Rui could not help but feel a little jealous. Even though Lu Qingman did not treat him as an outsider, he was still depressed. He thought to himself, This little light bulb has stolen all the limelight from me. This is still at home. If I go to Beijing, will I become a loner?
After lunch, Lu Qingman wanted to take Du Weiyu shopping and buy her some new clothes to wear. Li Rui took the opportunity to bid farewell and rushed to Song Chaoyang's house.
Before leaving, he kindly asked Du Weiyu, "Xiaoyu, do you want to go to Song Shuji's house to meet your Sister Xiaoxue? Make more friends and you can learn more about the college entrance exam from her. "Du Weiyu shook her head and said," No. "Her answer was very straightforward. Li Rui was puzzled and asked, "Why not? I think you place a lot of importance on your studies. " Du Weiyu said, "Song Xue was able to get into Tongji University based on her own ability. Why can't I get into Peking University based on my own ability? If I ask her for advice, then who will I be able to get into Peking University in the future? "
Li Rui laughed involuntarily as he stared blankly at the little beauty. He thought to himself, "This girl is really arrogant. I can't believe I didn't see it before!"
Lu Qingman spoke up for Du Weiyu, "That's right. What's there to ask about college entrance exam experience? Everyone's learning method was different, and everyone's attitude towards examinations was different as well. It was definitely not to be copied. What's more, our Xiao Yu is so smart. She's always been the first in class since she was young. Other than the teacher, when did she ever need anyone to give her pointers? "
Li Rui looked at her with a wry smile. He thought to himself, I didn't expect Lu Qingman to have such pride.
The three of them took a taxi to Beijing Road. Here, the two cousins started to shop while Li Rui continued to take a taxi to Song Chaoyang's house.
When they passed by the KFC at the south end of Beijing Road, Li Rui did consider getting out of the car to meet Ding Yijing. However, he thought that she was currently in troubled times and probably wouldn't be too happy. What's more, she had a cold personality to begin with, so he didn't want to be snubbed. When she was done with her divorce, he would go out with her to have fun. Who knows, he might be able to take the opportunity to conquer her rebellious heart.
After arriving at Song Chaoyang's house, Li Rui saw the eldest daughter of the Song family, Song Xue, whom he had not seen for many days. In less than a month, the little girl had tanned quite a bit. Her skin had become a healthy wheat color.
When Song Xue saw him, she appeared very affectionate. It was rare for her to be so cheerful as she called out, "Brother Xiao Rui!" Li Rui asked her about her school life. He also asked her how she was using her newly bought IBM laptop.
As the two chatted, Sun Shuqin served Li Rui a cup of hot tea. Li Rui acted as if he was overwhelmed by the favor and thanked her.
Song Chaoyang saw this and laughed, "Xiao Rui, Teacher Sun is not an outsider. She is also the head of the house. Why are you so polite to her?" Li Rui laughed and said, "Teacher Sun is an elder. I can't be rude."
When Song Xue went home this time, she brought the laptop back. When Li Rui asked about it, she took the laptop out of the bedroom and placed it on the coffee table in the living room for him to show. She also showed him some of the photos she took during the military training, the classroom, the dormitory, etc.
Later, when her parents went upstairs and Lao Zhou was cleaning the car outside, Song Xue bitterly asked in a low voice, "Brother Xiao Rui, there are still people chasing me. What should I do? Every day, there are people pestering me. The sports field, the basketball court, the cafeteria, the school building … there are people chasing me everywhere. It's so annoying. I can't push them away or reject them. I'm so depressed. " Li Rui looked at her with a smile. If he wasn't familiar with her personality, he would have thought that she was taking the opportunity to show off. Speaking of which, this girl really had the ability to be chased by a pack of wolves. She was tall, beautiful, and had a peerless temperament. If such a beauty was placed in the university campus, it would be strange if she didn't become the target of the perverts. He said, "It's easy to not be harassed."
Song Xue hurriedly asked, "How?" Li Rui said, "If they're as passionate as fire, you'll be as cold as ice. Let's see if their fire or your ice is more powerful. Also, in certain situations, you can appropriately show your anger. Try to use coldness and ruthlessness to scare off the pursuers. "Song Xue asked again," How do I show my anger? " Li Rui smiled and said, "For example, if someone writes you a love letter, you can smile coldly in front of them, throw the love letter on the ground, step on it, and then push them away and walk forward. It'll definitely look cool, and it'll also deter a considerable number of people from coveting you. Another example is, if someone tries to stop you on the sports field, you can use your phone to call the school security office and say that someone is harassing you. This way, who would dare to provoke you? "
Song Xue's beautiful eyes flashed as she listened. She nodded repeatedly and said with a smile, "This is a good idea. Why didn't I think of this before? Brother Xiao Rui, was it when you were in university, you were rejected by a female classmate like this? Haha. "Li Rui shook his head and said," No, no, I didn't chase anyone in university. "Song Xue asked curiously," Why? " After a pause, she said, "Oh, I understand. You're so handsome, so it's always people chasing after you, right? Haha. " Li Rui bitterly smiled and shook his head, "Let's try my idea first. If it doesn't work, call me anytime."
At around four in the afternoon, Song Chaoyang set off for the banquet. Naturally, Lao Zhou drove, accompanied by Li Rui.
The destination was not in the bustling city area, but in a quiet manor by the Jingshui River in the southern suburbs of the city. The manor didn't have a sign, and from afar, there wasn't anything special about it. There were only a few four or five-story European-style houses. Only when driving into the manor did one realize that there was another world inside.
The manor was surrounded by red walls, and inside, there were willow trees. The European-style houses were faintly discernible in the willow forest. The roads in the manor went up and down, changing according to the terrain. As they went deeper, there was a steep slope. After going down the slope, their eyes lit up. In front of them were a few modern buildings, all surrounded by flowers and trees. Diagonally across the buildings was a quiet lake. There were mountains and pavilions in the lake, reflecting the light of the setting sun. It was very artistic.
The car stopped at the entrance of the first building. Song Chaoyang and Li Rui got out of the car, and Lao Zhou went to park the car.
A chubby middle-aged man walked out of the building and smiled warmly. He took the initiative to shake Song Chaoyang's hand and said, "Song Shuji is here. Now my boss won't be lonely, haha." Song Chaoyang smiled and shook hands with him, asking, "How long have you been here?" The man said, "Less than an hour." Song Chaoyang said, "Okay, then let's go in."
The man shook Li Rui's hand with a lot of strength. He smiled and said, "Welcome, welcome." Li Rui introduced himself, "I'm Song Shuji's secretary, Li Rui. Leader, you can call me Xiao Li." The man laughed and said, "What kind of leader am I? Brother, we're in the same line of work. I'll be the big boss, you can call me Big Brother … Oh, right, my name is Zhang Wenbiao. Let's take care of each other in the future."
After the three of them finished exchanging greetings, Zhang Wenbiao led the two of them into the building. They took the elevator to the third floor and entered a large private room. Calling it a private room would be a little petty. It should be called a luxurious hall or a hotel suite. The interior was decorated with gold and jade, and the area was very large. There were many rooms inside and outside, and the most eye-catching thing was the large floor-to-ceiling window facing the sun. One could almost see the entire lake in front of them. Not to mention staying here for a night, just looking at the view in front of the floor-to-ceiling window would be a great enjoyment.
In the hall, there was a tall man with a big belly sitting on the leather sofa. He was talking on the phone. When he saw Song Chaoyang, he immediately hung up the phone and stood up. He laughed and walked towards him. He gave him a bear hug and said, "Chaoyang, we haven't seen each other in a long time. Give me a hug. "Song Chaoyang laughed and hugged him. He jokingly said," It's not like I'm a beauty. Why hug? "The man laughed and said," Who hugs beauties these days? Everyone hugs their gay friends. Haha. "
The two of them did not shake hands. Instead, they used this method to express their friendship. Li Rui was moved. This was a good way to express intimacy. If a superior used this method on a subordinate, the subordinate would gain face and respect for the superior. Hmm, I'll remember this and use it in the future.
After the man greeted Song Chaoyang, he looked at Li Rui and took the initiative to extend his right hand. "Chaoyang, this is the secretary you chose, right? Hmm, not bad. He has a dignified appearance and is also handsome. Just like a secretary, haha. I'm impressed. " Li Rui was flattered and quickly extended his hand. He smiled and said, "I'm Song Shuji's secretary, Li Rui. Nice to meet you, leader." The man said straightforwardly, "There are no leaders here today. Even if there were, they wouldn't be here yet. Haha, don't be so polite." He then said to Zhang Wenbin, "You take care of Xiao Li. I haven't seen Song Chaoyang in a long time. We need to have a good chat." He then hugged Song Chaoyang into one of the rooms and closed the door.
