In fact, Li Rui usually didn't appreciate this kind of "high and mighty" woman, but today he had a strong interest in Ling Shuyao. He wanted to find out where her arrogance came from, and he also wanted to know more about this woman. However, they had just met today, and if he was too proactive, it would make her look down on him. Therefore, after he got the draft of the progress schedule, he politely said goodbye and left.
Ling Shuyao didn't see him out, and returned to her chair to continue working. Her expression was neutral, neither sad nor happy, as if nothing had happened.
After returning to the office, Li Rui handed the progress schedule to Song Chaoyang.
Song Chaoyang looked at it carefully, nodded, and said happily, "Great things can be done!" Li Rui smiled and said, "Yes, as long as we follow this progress schedule and start working, we can finish it in one fell swoop!" Song Chaoyang said, "This progress schedule is very good. It's clear, neat, beautiful, and rigorous. There's not a single word of nonsense. It seems that Ling Shuyao's skills are not low. " Li Rui said, "I think this person's work attitude is also very serious. When I went to see her, she didn't say much nonsense to me. She was completely focused on making this progress schedule." Song Chaoyang nodded and praised, "It seems that there are many talents in the Municipal Party Committee."
At noon, when Li Rui accompanied Song Chaoyang to the cafeteria for lunch, they met Ling Shuyao again in the corner of the first floor near the stairs. There were two shared microwave ovens there, and Yiren was heating up her meal. Because her back was facing Li Rui, she couldn't see him, so Li Rui didn't have the opportunity to greet her. Looking at her beautiful figure, he still wanted to talk to her.
While eating, Li Ruixin thought to himself. This Ling Shuyao could become a Deputy Director at such a young age, so she must have someone at the top. But the problem was, if she really had someone at the top, why would she stay in the Political Research Office? This was really strange!
When it was almost time to get off work in the evening, Song Chaoyang called Li Rui in and stretched in front of him. He smiled and said, "The poverty alleviation program has finally come to an end. We can also take a break. Do you have a good place to relax in Qingyang? I want a secluded place with fewer people. " Li Rui immediately thought of the Dream Peach Garden that Lin Yali had once taken him to. He said, "In the northern suburbs of Nanhe County, there's a mountain manor called Dream Peach Garden. The scenery there is very good. You can even soak in the hot springs in the guest rooms. What's more, there's a European classical art style. It's definitely different from the style of the hotels in the city. It's very refreshing."
Song Chaoyang nodded in agreement and said, "Then we'll go there now." Li Rui said, "Yes, I'll call Lao Zhou right away." Song Chaoyang waved his hand and said, "Don't call Lao Zhou. Let him get off work. You go and find a car. Any car will do. "Li Rui said," Okay, I'll go to the First Bureau to borrow one. "Song Chaoyang laughed and said," You're the First Bureau Chief. Do you still need to borrow one? "
Li Rui saw that he was joking with him and knew that he was really relaxed. He felt happy and felt that he had enough time to spend with Qingman tonight. He just hoped that the annoying scene from last night would not repeat itself. He turned around and went to borrow a car.
Ten minutes later, Li Rui drove a Santana and drove out of the Municipal Party Committee compound with Song Chaoyang.
As soon as they left the compound, Song Chaoyang said, "Let's go pick up Guo Xiaohe first." Li Rui heard Guo Xiaohe's name and his heart skipped a beat. He finally understood that Song Chaoyang was not just relaxing tonight. He did not say anything and obediently agreed. He treated it as an ordinary friend who was picking up his boss.
By the time the car reached a secluded road in the southern district of the city, the sky had already darkened. Li Rui picked up Guo Xiaohe at a bus stop on this road. He knew that she must have made an appointment with his boss. Otherwise, she would not have waited here. He also knew that her husband was not at home tonight. Otherwise, she would not have accompanied her boss to spend the night in the suburbs.
Of course, he only needed to know these things in his heart. He absolutely could not ask her face to face.
Guo Xiaohe and Li Rui were already very familiar with each other. She did not treat him as an outsider. She asked in front of him, "Where are we going?" Song Chaoyang smiled and said, "Xiao Rui, tell her." Li Rui said, "Sister Guo, we are going to a manor in the northern suburbs of Nanhe County. The location is more secluded and the scenery is very beautiful. The manor is built in a classical European style. It is like going abroad to Europe. Oh right, the hotel rooms have hot springs. It is very comfortable. "Guo Xiaohe joked," Seeing that you are so familiar with it, do you go there often? "Li Rui said," Just once. "Guo Xiaohe smiled and asked," Which beauty did you go with? Is it convenient to say? "
This question was very easy to answer on the surface. He just had to deny that he did not go with a woman. He could say that he went with a friend or a classmate. He could give a perfect answer without damaging his personal reputation. But Li Rui did not dare to answer carelessly because he still had to consider the existence of his boss.
He thought that his boss bringing Guo Xiaohe out for a night was equivalent to revealing his private life to him. If he still acted like a gentleman, it would be a taboo for him. Since that was the case, even if he had to throw away his reputation, he had to be honest with him. He had to let him know that he was a person of character like him. This would give him a very important sense of security. Actually, after Guo Xiaohe asked him this question, his boss did not say anything. It could be that he was testing him. Since that was the case, then he would throw caution to the wind.
But wait, even if he threw caution to the wind, which woman should he call out to cover for him? In fact, at that time, it was Lin Yali who brought him there, but he absolutely could not say her name because she was Li Ming's wife. If the boss knew that he even hooked up with his friend's wife, then it would be really immoral. Would he still put him in an important position in the future? He had to be careful. At this moment, it was important to splash dirty water on himself, but he could not splash it too hard. If he splashed it too lightly, he could gain a greater degree of trust from the boss. If he splashed it too heavily, it would backfire and he would be despised.
After thinking about it, he had to say a woman's name that met the following conditions: First, this woman could not be too famous. Otherwise, it would also be a taboo for the boss. Second, this woman could be single or married. If she was married, her husband should not be in the officialdom to avoid the suspicion of "messing around with his colleague's wife." Third, after the boss heard this name, it would be best not to have any feelings of liking or disliking her, so that he would not be implicated. Fourth, the most important point was that after Guo Xiaohe and the boss understood his shady business with this woman, they would feel that it was pardonable and acceptable for him to have a relationship with this woman. As for whether the two of them would reveal his ambiguous relationship with this woman, he did not have to worry about it.
After thinking about it, he laughed and said, "She's an old classmate from junior high school. Her name is Jia Yuanyuan, and she's from the northern district of the city. We were pretty close when we were in school. It was a bit of a puppy love. After we grew up, our friendship was pretty good. There was a class reunion when I just got divorced and was in a bad mood. After I got drunk, she sent me home and comforted me. I saw that she was so nice to me, so I couldn't control myself, so … in the end, the two of us … Uh, Sister Guo, do you understand?"
Not only did Guo Xiaohe understand, but Song Chaoyang also understood. Seeing that he could take the initiative to admit his feelings, he was not a simple person. She nodded slightly in satisfaction.
What the two of them didn't know was that Li Rui's words were half-truths and half-lies. Although he had confessed his ambiguous relationship with Jia Yuanyuan, he had fabricated the fact that he was in a relationship with her at a young age (a relationship at a young age was considered to be an old lover, so it was reasonable and understandable for something to happen with an old lover). He had also fabricated the fact that they were in a relationship and used the excuse of being drunk as a cover to reduce the boss's bad impression of this matter to the greatest extent. After he finished speaking, he was already anxious and embarrassed. He was sweating profusely. He thought to himself, Jia Yuanyuan, I'm sorry for using you as a shield. But I can't do anything about it. If there was a more suitable person to help me get through this difficult time, I wouldn't have used you.
Speaking of which, Guo Xiaohe was really worried that her relationship with Song Zhaoyang would be exposed by Li Rui's secretary. Even if he didn't dare to say it out loud, her private affair being exposed by him made her feel a little uncomfortable in her heart. Now that she heard him expose his own scandal, she finally felt that it was fair and relaxed her state of mind. She smiled and said, "Is this Jia Yuanyuan very beautiful?" Li Rui nodded and said, "En, her nickname is' Little Yang Yuying '." Guo Xiaohe praised, "Tsk, tsk, then you really have good luck with women." Song Zhaoyang praised, "Little Rui is already handsome, a beauty is a match for you."
After the car arrived at Mengtaoyuan Villa, Li Rui drove the two of them around the villa. After sending them to the restaurant for dinner, he went to the hotel to book a room. When he was booking the room, he suddenly had an idea. Since the boss and Lu Qingman were going to stay here tonight, why should he rush back to the city and pick them up tomorrow morning? It would be troublesome enough. He might as well pick up Lu Qingman and stay here for the night. He and Lu Qingman could also enjoy the hot spring bath and do what they needed to do. The environment here was elegant and luxurious, and was more artistic than the Qingyang Hotel. Wouldn't it be perfect to use it as the most memorable place for the two of them to do their first time?
Therefore, he booked two luxurious rooms, one for Guo Xiaohe and the boss, and the other for himself and Lu Qingman's love nest.
After booking the rooms, he called Lu Qingman to ask for her location before driving back to the city to pick her up.
