Sun Yaozu comforted Li Rui, "Governor Lu is probably busy with the award ceremony. Let's wait for a while. Don't worry." Li Rui nodded and didn't think too much about it.
They waited and waited until it was seven o 'clock, but they still didn't see anyone.
At this time, the two drank tea and had a pot of warm water. They both had a stomach full of urine, but they didn't dare to go to the bathroom. They could only grit their teeth and wait. Usually at this time, the two would have finished dinner for more than an hour. Tonight, they drank tea and didn't eat any food. Because of this, their stomachs couldn't take it anymore and started to complain. The hunger slowly attacked them and made them feel even worse.
Sun Yaozu frowned and asked, "Why isn't Governor Lu back yet?" Li Rui really wanted to call Yu Hongwei to urge him, so he took out his phone. Sun Yaozu saw his action and quickly stopped him, "Don't, don't call, don't call!" Li Ruiqi said, "Why can't I call?" Sun Yaozu said solemnly, "How can I rush the leader? It's not good to affect the leader's work. Let's wait for a while more. Anyway, we have nothing to do tonight. "Li Rui nodded. Sun Yaozu couldn't hold it in anymore. He stood up and asked, "Xiao Rui, do you know where the bathroom is?"
The two went to the bathroom and went back to sit on the sofa and continue to wait. Their stomachs were growling. If they didn't drink water, there was nothing else to eat. Drinking tea could at least fill their stomachs. Therefore, the two kept drinking water. The pot of tea had already lost its color and looked like clear water.
After waiting until eight o 'clock, Sun Yaozu was a bit impatient, but he couldn't just leave. After all, they came to report to the leader. If they left without seeing the leader, it would be rude and disrespectful to the leader. Secondly, they wouldn't achieve their goal. Since they were already here, they might as well go all out and continue to wait. Could they not go home for the whole night?
Li Rui was in the prime of his life, and his digestive system was excellent. His ability to endure hunger was not as good as Sun Yaozu, and he was already so hungry that his chest was sticking to his back. He sat on the sofa motionlessly, as if he was enduring the most unbearable punishment in the world. He was very puzzled. What kind of award ceremony would take up so much of Lu Zhouxing's time? Could it be that Lu Zhouxing had something urgent to attend to and was busy with something else?
When it was nine o 'clock, Sun Yaozu couldn't wait any longer and asked, "Xiao Rui, do you want to call Director Yu and ask him to hurry up?" Li Rui nodded and took out his phone again. Before he could make the call, he received a call from Song Chaoyang.
Song Chaoyang asked, "Xiao Rui, how is it? Has the mayor finished his report?" Li Rui smiled bitterly and said, "No, Governor Lu hasn't returned yet." Song Chaoyang said in surprise, "Ah? Didn't he tell you to wait at home at half past five? Why hasn't he returned yet? It's already been three and a half hours. "Hearing him say this, Li Rui felt a shadow in his mind, and suddenly felt that something was wrong. Song Chaoyang asked, "Then you're still waiting?" Li Rui said, "Yes, I was just about to call Director Yu and ask." Song Chaoyang reminded him, "If you can avoid calling, then don't. Governor Lu definitely remembers that you're waiting at home. The reason why he hasn't returned yet is probably because he's busy with work. It won't be good if you keep urging him. You don't have anything important to do tonight anyway, so just wait a little longer. Maybe Governor Lu is just testing the mayor's patience. "
Li Rui suddenly understood and said, "Yes, yes, that's possible." Song Chaoyang smiled and said, "Then you continue to wait. Don't forget what I told you to do. Uh, it's already so late, so don't come back tonight. It's not safe to drive at night. That's all. "
After hanging up the phone, Sun Yaozu stared at him with some confusion and asked, "You just said yes, yes, yes, that's possible. What did you mean?" Li Rui naturally couldn't pass on Song Chaoyang's words to him. Oh, he had just listened to his own boss's words, and now he passed them on to an outsider. What kind of person would that make him? He smiled and said, "It's nothing. Song Shuji guessed that Governor Lu might be busy with other things, so he asked us to wait a little longer."
Sun Yaozu sighed, nodded sullenly, and continued to sit down.
Not everyone could sit on the sofa for four to five hours. By ten o 'clock, Sun Yaozu's butt was already numb and sore. He had no choice but to get up and move a little. He smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that Governor Lu wants us to wait all night."
Li Rui had already realized something when he heard Song Chaoyang's phone call. At this time, when he heard Sun Yaozu's complaint, his eyes lit up and he caught a glimmer of understanding. He thought to himself, "Not to mention that Lu Zhouxing is the Governor, even my boss, Song Chaoyang, has a full schedule every day. What time and what to do is in the plan, and he won't make changes easily. Because once there is a change, not only will all his work arrangements have to be changed, but even the Secretary General of the Municipal Party Committee, the General Office, and even more leaders and departments will have to change their work plans. This is the so-called" pull one hair and affect the whole body "principle. Even the Secretary General of the Municipal Party Committee has to be so strict and meticulous, let alone the Governor of the Provincial Government. Since Lu Zhouxing wanted him and Sun Yaozu to rush over at 5: 30 today, and he was precise to the minute, it meant that he would definitely be back at 5: 30 to listen to Sun Yaozu's report. Even if there was an occasional error, it wouldn't take more than four hours. Even if there was a one in a million chance that something urgent had happened and he needed to personally deal with it, why wouldn't he ask Yu Hongwei to call back to inform him? Why would he let the two of them wait at home? Was this an unintentional mistake, or was it another kind of hint?
When he thought of this, he suddenly felt a little nervous and turned his head to look at Sun Yaozu.
Sun Yaozu was pacing back and forth on the ground, his face anxious and painful. He had already lost the demeanor of a mayor. When he saw Li Rui looking over, he asked, "Is Governor Lu usually this busy?" Li Rui smiled and said, "Should be. Anyway, every time I come over, it's usually after 10: 00 at night." Sun Yaozu had already lost his patience and following that, he suddenly asked without thinking, "Xiao Rui, are you hungry?" Li Rui smiled bitterly and said, "I'm starving. If I don't drink water, I'll be hungry, but if I drink water, I'll be even more hungry." Sun Yaozu asked, "Is there a supermarket in the courtyard?" Li Rui smiled and shook his head, thinking how could that be possible. Sun Yaozu sighed and said, "If I had known earlier, I would have asked Old Li to prepare some food in the car. This really isn't something that humans should suffer."
When it was 10: 30, heavy and powerful footsteps sounded from outside.
Sun Yaozu was originally leaning against the sofa listlessly and was about to fall asleep. When he heard the sound of leather shoes, he immediately jumped up and whispered to Li Rui, "Get up, Governor Lu is back." Li Rui stood up lazily. His stomach was full of sour water. It was indescribable how uncomfortable it was. He felt that this was even more torturous than the day when Yuan Jingjing made him work at the front line to fight the flood.
Lu Zhouxing was the first to enter the house, followed by Yu Hongwei.
Sun Yaozu had already come out from behind the coffee table and waited respectfully at the side. He nodded and bowed and respectfully called out, "Governor." Li Rui also hurriedly followed and greeted him.
Lu Zhouxing's cold and stern gaze swept across Sun Yaozu's face. There was a hint of a playful smile in his eyes. He looked at him and then turned to Li Rui's face. He carefully sized him up and asked, "You've been waiting for a long time, haven't you?"
Sun Yaozu hurriedly smiled and said, "No, no, not at all. The Governor is busy with official business. I'm already very grateful that he can take the time to listen to my work report. "Lu Zhouxing smiled meaningfully and asked," Truth? "Sun Yaozu hurriedly said," Truth, truth, it's definitely the truth. I was just telling Xiao Rui that the reason the Governor didn't come back is definitely because he's busy with official business. We don't need to be anxious. We have to wait patiently. We can't rush the Governor. It won't be good if we delay the Governor's important matters. "Lu Zhouxing smiled silently and said," Come up. "After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the stairs. Sun Yaozu was overjoyed. He hurriedly followed behind him and went upstairs.
Yu Hongwei said softly to Li Rui, "Brother, I'll go up and make tea for the boss and Mayor Sun. I'll come back and accompany you." As he said that, he looked at Sun Yaozu's expression. He saw that Sun Yaozu's eyebrows were slightly tired. He secretly sighed and thought that the boss was really ruthless to his own people.
Li Rui said, "Okay, you go up and do your work. I'll wait downstairs."
Yu Hongwei made a new cup of tea and brought it upstairs. After a while, he came downstairs and sat down warmly beside Li Rui. He said softly, "Are you starving?" Li Rui smiled bitterly and nodded. Yu Hongwei sighed and said, "I knew about this matter from the beginning to the end. However, I didn't dare to go against the boss's wishes. Therefore, even if I knew, I could only pretend that I didn't know. I couldn't tell you. Brother, you've suffered. When we go out later, let's find a restaurant and have a good meal. "Li Rui heard the hidden meaning in his words and hurriedly said," Brother Hongwei, what's going on? Hurry up and tell me. "Yu Hongwei lowered his voice and explained the whole sequence of events to him.
