This state of mind usually did not flare up, as if it did not exist. But at the critical moment, it would silently affect the way he dealt with things and the way he treated others. It could even cause major harm, just like tonight. This was still considered light. This was just Lu Zhouxing deliberately teaching him a lesson. It could be considered a kind reminder. If it was used by an opponent or a villain, it could cause even greater harm. At that time, he would not be in the same predicament as tonight. It was very likely that he would fall into eternal damnation.
Yu Hongwei observed carefully and saw that Li Rui had an ashamed expression on his face, so he did not say anything. He thought to himself that since he was recognized by the boss, he must have his own merits. He just had to remind him properly. He must not be self-righteous and criticize Li Rui to avoid offending others.
After waiting for about 15 minutes, Sun Yaozu came down from upstairs.
Li Rui was very surprised. He thought that when he went up, he would report for at least an hour, or at least half an hour. Who knew that he would come down in less than 15 minutes? What is going on? He stood up to welcome him and sized him up. He saw that Sun Yaozu's expression was not good. He frowned and did not look like he had just finished reporting. Instead, he looked like he had just been reprimanded. Only then did he think of a possibility – Lu Zhouxing blamed him for using his connections to the Lu family without permission and reprimanded him. As for the report, he probably did not give him a chance.
Sun Yaozu looked up and saw Li Rui. He sighed and said in a voice that sounded ten times older, "Xiao Rui, let's go." Li Rui was shocked again and asked, "Governor Lu didn't let me go up?" Sun Yaozu said, "He's tired and wants to rest. He didn't say that he wanted to see you." Li Ruixin felt a chill down his spine. He knew that he had made a huge mistake this time, so much so that Lu Zhouxing wanted to punish and embarrass him twice. He turned his head and looked at Yu Hongwei.
Yu Hongwei couldn't say anything, and he didn't dare to ask him to go upstairs without his boss's permission. He said in a low voice, "Brother, you go back first this time. After a while, you can come back with Qingman to visit him." Li Rui thought about it and decided that this was the only way. At this moment, Lu Zhouxing was still angry. If he went up to him, he would only be asking for trouble. It would be better to wait for a few days until Lu Zhouxing's anger subsided. Then he would look for Qingman and come over to apologize. He said, "Alright, then Big Brother Hongwei, we'll take our leave first. See you another day if we have time." Yu Hongwei saw the two of them out and said, "Quickly find a place to eat first …"
Car No. 2 slowly drove out of the Provincial Party Committee Compound. Sun Yaozu was sleepy, hungry, and tired. He didn't want to rush back to Qingyang City at night. He ordered the driver, "Go to the Provincial Government Guest House and eat first. I won't be going back tonight."
Li Rui was right. Sun Yaozu was indeed taught a lesson by Lu Zhouxing. Although it wasn't the kind of scolding that he would show on the surface, for a leader like Lu Zhouxing, there were many ways to teach people a lesson. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that it was a kind of art. He could scold you harshly, but he could also make you tremble in fear with gentle words. Just now in the study upstairs, Sun Yaozu was embarrassed by Lu Zhouxing's cold and indifferent questions. He wanted to find a hole to hide in. After that, when he wanted to report his work, the other party didn't give him much time. Moreover, the other party asked more questions than he wanted to say. Most of his time was spent thinking, so how much work could he report? Even so, the other party still didn't give him a good face. After asking a few questions, the other party said that he was sleepy and asked him to go back first.
In other words, he had been preparing for this trip since last night. Including the time spent on the road and waiting, it was almost eight hours. However, he only got less than a quarter of an hour to meet with the other party. He was also taught a lesson. He didn't get to connect with the new governor as he wished, nor did he report much work. It wasn't wrong to say that it was like drawing water with a bamboo basket.
The more Sun Yaozu thought about it, the angrier he got. Since he became the mayor of Qingyang City, he had never been treated so coldly. It was more hateful than being slapped in the face. But the problem was that the other party was so much higher than him. Even if he was angry, what could he do? Could it be that he wanted to take revenge on the other party? That would be like hanging himself because he thought that his life was too long. Alas, he could only swallow his anger.
However, he also understood why Lu Zhouxing treated him like this. It seemed that Lu Zhouxing blamed him for using Li Rui's connection. But he still wanted to connect with the new governor as soon as possible. It was also a show of taking the initiative to join him. Why did Lu Zhouxing pick on him and humiliate him like this? Was this old man's nature like this? Sarcastic, crafty, cold, and unreasonable? Yes, it must be. Not only did he humiliate him, but he also humiliated his prospective son-in-law. This old man was really ruthless!
Thinking of this, he looked at Li Rui who was sitting in front of him with some schadenfreude. He thought to himself, "Even if you are his son-in-law, you will still be taught a lesson by him. What's the difference between you and me, an outsider?"
The provincial government's guest house was not far from the Provincial Party Committee's compound. The car arrived quickly.
Before getting out of the car, Sun Yaozu asked, "Xiao Rui, let's go eat first. Let's make do here for the night, okay?" Even though he was humiliated by Lu Zhouxing, he still dreamed of being able to get on his dock. Even if he couldn't get on his dock, he definitely couldn't offend him. Therefore, he still had to give special treatment to his prospective son-in-law, Li Rui, and didn't dare to be rude.
Li Rui saw that he was asking for his opinion and was quite flattered. He hurriedly said, "I will listen to the mayor's arrangements." After saying that, he got out of the car and opened the door for him.
Sun Yaozu sighed and got out of the car. He only felt that his legs were trembling and his stomach was icy cold. It was as if there was a pot of frozen porridge in it. He secretly cursed this old man for being ruthless. He clenched his teeth and walked into the guest house.
The three of them first went to the restaurant to eat.
As they walked into the restaurant, Sun Yaozu suddenly thought of something and asked, "Oh right, Xiao Rui, isn't Governor Lu's daughter and your girlfriend in the provincial capital? Aren't you going to look for her tonight? "Li Rui used a firm tone to reply," No! "Sun Yaozu smiled and said," Today and tomorrow are the weekends. You should go and accompany her. " Li Rui said, "Thank you mayor for your good intentions, but this is a business trip, so let's forget about it."
After dinner, Sun Yaozu asked the driver to go to the front desk to book three rooms. After Li Rui received the card, he returned to his room and saw that it was already late. He guessed that his boss was already asleep, so he didn't report what happened to him. He felt a bit tired, so he took a hot shower and returned to the mattress. As he was waiting for his hair to dry, he suddenly thought of Ding Yijing. He really wanted to see her, but it was too late and he couldn't disturb her rest. He could only hide this longing deep in his heart.
He also didn't tell Lu Qingman about what happened tonight. This kind of thing wasn't suitable to tell this cute girl between himself and Lu Zhouxing. If he told her, it would only make things difficult for her. Moreover, it wasn't something to be proud of. It was enough for him to learn from this incident. There was no need to let everyone know.
After his hair was dry, he turned off the lights and fell asleep on the mattress.
He didn't know how much time had passed, but he had a dream. In the dream, he was still in junior high school. It was during class, and he was laughing and playing with Ding Yijing. They were very happy. Suddenly, the two of them had a conflict and had a big fight. Ding Yijing turned her face and ignored him. His heart was filled with fear and uneasiness. He wanted to apologize to her, but unfortunately, the bell rang and class started. When class ended, he looked for her again, but she was nowhere to be found. He looked around the classroom, but he couldn't find her. He ran to the school field and looked around, but he still couldn't find her. This time, he was anxious. Just as he was worrying, he suddenly saw her father driving a very luxurious car by. He hurriedly stopped him and asked. Her father said, "My daughter has already married and moved to the provincial capital. You should save your breath. How can a poor man like you be worthy of my Jingjing?" After saying that, he drove away. He stood at the school gate in a daze. His heart was filled with longing and unwillingness for Ding Yijing. That unwillingness made his heart ache and also woke up his subconscious …
"Ah …" Li Rui gasped as he woke up from his dream. After calming himself down, he realized that everything was just a dream, and an outdated one at that. In the dream, his inferiority complex, cowardice, feelings for Ding Yijing, and guilt were all reflected. After waking up from the dream and returning to reality, the situation seemed to be slightly better, because she had already forgiven him. Moreover, it seemed that they were getting closer and closer. Perhaps, one day in the future, she would really be able to return to his side.
After waking up this time, he couldn't sleep anymore. He touched his watch and looked at the time. It was just past two o 'clock. With the admiration and longing for Ding Yijing in his heart, he really wanted to call her right now and ask her out to meet him. Even if it was just to hear her voice, he was really worried that he would disturb her sleep … In the end, an evil thought suddenly appeared in his heart. "I can't sleep because of her. Why should I let her sleep so soundly? Why don't no one sleep? We're all the same. Let's all wake up in the middle of the night and chat. "
Once this evil thought was born, it quickly grew into a big tree in his heart without the nourishment of sunlight and water. It was so itchy that it was difficult to scratch it. Almost subconsciously, he reached for his mobile phone and found her mobile phone number. Several times, he wanted to press the dial button, but several times, he hesitated. Finally, he gritted his teeth, steeled his heart, and pressed the button abruptly. He said to himself, "My good Jingjing, don't blame me. Every man for himself. I miss you too much. In order to reduce my pain, please get up and talk to me."
After just two rings, it was picked up.
