The various documents and manuscripts submitted by the Political Research Office were only for the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee or the Mayor to look at. There was no place for them to be used. At most, they could be published in a government newspaper or an internal party periodical. If they were placed elsewhere, no one would buy them. Even if the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee saw them, he would generally not use them. Otherwise, how could he show off his ability and intelligence? As for the Director of the Political Research Office, he was a divisional leader on the surface, but he had no power or money. Although he was always around the leader, he would definitely not be put in an important position. Therefore, his position was very awkward. He was at the bottom of the divisional leaders in the Municipal Party Committee. In the end, the entire office was filled with bookworms. All day long, all they did was study literary materials. They knew nothing else. As a result, the Political Research Office naturally became the most disliked organization in the Municipal Party Committee. It was not an exaggeration to say that they were the children raised by stepmothers.
Many leaders even used the Political Research Office as a tool to prank people. They kicked the subordinates they did not like to the Political Research Office. Once they were kicked out, they would naturally sit on the cold bench forever. They would not be put in an important position.
In Li Ruixin's eyes, the Deputy Investigator, Ling Shuyao, was estimated to be in her fifties or sixties. Her hair was white, her face was full of orange peel, and she wore glasses. This kind of old woman was arrogant because of her seniority. She liked to flaunt her seniority. Usually, when she met young people, she would teach them a lesson. Otherwise, she would not be able to show off her ability. In his heart, he was very disgusted to deal with this kind of person. However, since the boss had already given the order, he could not not look for her. He could only brace himself and ask where her office was.
The Political Research Office naturally did not work on weekends. There were only two people on duty in the office.
After Li Rui entered, he greeted the two people and began to ask about Ling Shuyao's desk.
He did not know these two people, but they knew him. Well, the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, the First Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, and the Director of the First Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. Although their positions were low, they were the most popular people in the Municipal Party Committee. They were the right-hand men of the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. Who dared not to know such a person?
Both of them stood up to shake his hand and greet him. The head of the group, the deputy director of the office, wanted to offer him a cigarette, but he declined with a smile.
After hearing that he was here to look for Ling Shuyao, the deputy director of the office personally led him to Ling Shuyao's office.
The two of them walked to the innermost office of the Political Research Office. The door was open, and the deputy director of the office stood inside. He knocked on the door and said respectfully, "Director Ling, Director Li from the First Bureau of the General Office is here to see you!"
The rank of a Deputy Investigator was the same as that of a Deputy Director. The only difference was that one was a non-leadership position, while the other was a leadership position. However, when people addressed the person, they would not call him an Investigator. Instead, they would call him by his corresponding rank. In some departments directly under the municipal government, people usually referred to a certain deputy investigator as a certain bureau, which meant that he was a leader on the same level as the deputy bureau chief. For an office like the Political Research Office, it was definitely not appropriate to call it a certain bureau. Calling it a certain director was also not too accurate. It was more appropriate to call it a certain department.
Li Rui was not standing at the front door, so he could not see what was going on in the room. He only heard a light voice saying, "Let him in." The voice was clear and melodious. It did not sound like the voice of an old woman. He was stunned. Could it be that this Ling Shuyao was still very young?
The deputy director of the office stepped out and invited Li Rui into the room. He even asked, "Director Li, do you want to drink water?" Li Rui smiled and said, "You are too polite. I will leave right away. Thank you. You can go back to your work."
The deputy director of the office smiled at him and turned to leave.
Li Ruixin thought that it was better to lean against a big tree. If he was not Song Chaoyang's secretary, how could he receive such preferential treatment? He sighed and walked into the room. He looked around and saw that this was a single person office. It was not very big, but the decorations and furnishings were very exquisite. It seemed like this was the office of the deputy director of Ling Shuyao. A petite young woman was sitting behind a desk in the innermost part of the room. She had shoulder-length black hair that was parted in the middle. She had a small oval face with a little baby fat. She had willowy eyebrows, red phoenix eyes, and a small nose. Her mouth was of medium size, and her lips were red and glossy. At first glance, she was a very elegant beauty.
She was sitting in the boss's chair with her upper body slightly tilted. Her red phoenix eyes were staring at the computer screen in front of her. Her two hands were tapping on the keyboard, and sometimes she was holding the mouse with one hand. Although Li Rui's figure had appeared in her line of sight, she did not even look at him.
Li Rui would never have thought that this Ling Shuyao was not only not a grey-haired senior, but also a young and beautiful woman. Looking at her age, she was about 30 years old. She was younger than Lu Qingman, but her figure was about the same as hers. They both had their own advantages in terms of appearance. However, it was obvious that the woman in front of him had a better temperament. He was bewildered. Such a young woman was already a deputy director. What was the reason for this?
He was a little surprised and slowly walked to the desk. He was hesitating on how to greet her when he heard her ask without raising her head, "Did the Song Shuji ask you to come over to get the progress report?" Li Rui nodded and at the same time greeted her, "Hello, Ling Shuyao." Ling Shuyao said, "It's not done yet. Wait a little longer. Feel free to sit."
After finishing this conversation, Ling Shuyao did not raise her head to look at him.
Li Rui secretly praised her. No wonder she was already a Deputy Division Leader at such a young age. Her work attitude was down-to-earth and serious. Even he couldn't compare with her. He didn't sit on the sofa. Instead, he was curious about this woman and quietly looked at her at a close distance.
Ling Shuyao noticed him standing in front of the desk looking at her from the corner of her eye. She raised her hand and waved at him, "Come over and take a look at the progress report. Is that okay?"
Li Rui walked around the desk and stood beside her. However, he didn't know that when he walked over, he was shocked. He was surprised and amused at the same time. He was stunned for a moment.
Ling Shuyao was sitting cross-legged on the boss's chair with one leg. Her sitting posture was very indecent. What was even more unbelievable was that she was barefoot and did not wear socks. Her snow-white slender foot was exposed outside her left leg. It was as if she was showing off the graceful shape of her foot and also seemed to be exuding the smell of it. Anyway, she was sitting cross-legged on the chair barefoot.
One had to know that the entire Municipal Party Committee appeared in front of the public with a solemn appearance, and the public officials who worked there were all dressed decently and solemnly. When had Li Rui ever seen the woman in front of him sitting and dressing so casually and frivolously without restraint? He was shocked and could not believe his eyes.
Speaking of which, Ling Shuyao's sitting posture was not too much. However, if it was in her home, it would be impeccable. However, if it was in an enterprise or public office, it would be a little too much, especially when she was entertaining guests.
Li Rui had seen too many dignified and elegant female leaders. When he saw Ling Shuyao's sitting posture and dressing today, it was a stark contrast. That was why he felt very uncomfortable. Although he was uncomfortable, he did not have any bad feelings for her. On one hand, she was beautiful. On the other hand, she was casual and indifferent. She did not have the air of a leader. These two advantages were enough to cover up her frivolous sitting posture. Therefore, he could accept it. He also had a strong curiosity about her. He did not know how such a rebellious woman could survive in the Political Research Department of the Municipal Party Committee, which was known for its rigidity and strictness.
Ling Shuyao did not know that the first thing Li Rui looked at was her sitting posture. She casually leaned back on the chair and pointed at the screen. "Is it okay to take a look?" Li Rui said yes and bent over slightly to take a look.
Not to mention the contents of the planning schedule, just the form itself made Li Rui's eyes light up. He praised, "It's so beautiful!" Ling Shuyao frowned and said, "Beautiful? I didn't use any bright colors for the background. "Li Rui pointed at the form and said," I mean the form is very beautiful. "Ling Shuyao said," Oh, that's not important. Let's take a look at the content. "Li Rui looked at the content again.
He was no stranger to the contents of the progress sheet. These were what he had been busy with during this period of time. It was just that today, these things were reflected in the form of words, which looked a little novel. He glanced at it from top to bottom, nodded repeatedly, and praised, "Well done." Ling Shuyao said, "There are still some things to be done, wait for a while." Li Rui hummed in agreement.
Ling Shuyao got busy again. Her two lily-white hands tapped on the keyboard and sometimes stopped to use the mouse to organize the Excel form. She was so busy that she did not have time to rest.
Li Rui stood to the side and watched her work. He saw that when she was working seriously, there was a sense of gentleness. Especially when she frowned and was deep in thought, there was a sense of quiet elegance. No matter how he looked at it, his heart was moved. His gaze swept across her white and tender feet on the chair and the black high-heeled shoes under her feet. He silently calculated her height.
After waiting for about ten minutes, Ling Shuyao was done. She carefully checked from top to bottom and left to right. She casually printed it out. She got up and walked to the printer. She took out the printed document and looked at it twice. She turned back and handed it to Li Rui.
