Yuan Jingjing ignored Li Rui and said, "Director, I'm going to propose a toast to you tonight to thank you for taking care of me." Zhang Jianshe waved his hand and said, "Sigh, Little Yuan, aren't you treating me like an outsider? I have a good relationship with your father-in-law. His daughter-in-law is my niece. Of course I have to take care of her. " He wondered if there was some unresolvable hatred between her and Li Rui. Otherwise, why didn't she answer his question? Wasn't she humiliating him in public? Yuan Jingjing said, "Okay." Then she went to find a seat.
Zhang Jianshe quickly stood up and said, "Little Yuan, you can sit next to Brother Li."
Yuan Jingjing glanced sideways at Li Rui and said coldly, "He's a big shot now. How can he still look up to an old leader like me? He's willing to sit with me as an equal? " Li Rui could guess what she was thinking. She didn't want to be too close to him in front of Zhang Jianshe, so she pretended to be cold to him. In fact, he was thinking the same thing. He secretly praised their telepathy and said with a smile, "Director, I'm not a big shot. I don't dare to look down on you. Am I that kind of person?"
Only then did Yuan Jingjing leisurely sit down at the head of the table. As she crossed her legs, she lightly kicked him with the tip of her shoe. Li Rui's heart skipped a beat. He smiled and didn't say anything.
After Yuan Jingjing sat down, Zhang Jianshe called the waiter to order. The menu was naturally placed in front of Li Rui first.
Li Rui had already eaten. The reason he came was to see Yuan Jingjing, not to eat and drink. Therefore, he pushed the menu back to Zhang Jianshe and said, "I'll listen to you." Zhang Jianshe was happy to see Li Rui being so respectful. He said, "Okay, I'll get straight to the point."
There were three of them, but Old Zhang ordered six dishes and one soup. The soup was the wild turtle soup, which was very luxurious. He also ordered a bottle of Wuliangye.
While waiting for the dishes, the three of them chatted casually. The table was filled with laughter and laughter. It was very harmonious, but under the table, Li Rui and Yuan Jingjing were already competing with each other. The two of them kicked each other and stepped on each other. They were having a great time fighting each other.
Suddenly, more than half of the banquet was over. Li Rui was toasted by Zhang Jianshe and Yuan Jingjing one after another. He was drunk. On his left was the former leader's flattery, while on his right was the beautiful woman's slight anger. There was nothing better than this.
At this time, Yuan Jingjing got up and went to the bathroom. There was a small washroom in the private room, but for some reason, she insisted on using the washroom outside.
After she left, Zhang Jianxi stood up and offered a toast. When Li Rui saw that he was being more formal this time, he put on a flattered expression. He also stood up and hurriedly persuaded him to sit down.
Zhang Jianxi shook his head and gratefully said, "Bro, last time my wife went to the Municipal Party Committee and made a scene. If it weren't for your help, I would've been done for. I won't say any more nonsense. Brother, I will remember all of your righteousness. Come on, let's toast. " Li Rui was also very courteous and respectful to him. After all, he was a man of honor. He said politely, "Brother, aren't you treating me like an outsider? No matter what, you are still my superior. How can I not help my superior when he is in trouble? In my opinion, you are too polite. You even specially invited me to dinner. Alas, why do you have to be like this? Don't be like this in the future. Come on, I'll drink. You can do whatever you want. "
The wine glasses in their hands touched, and then they each took it back to their mouth. With a "slurp" sound, they both drank the wine in their glasses.
Zhang Jianxi sat down on Li Rui's shoulder, slightly leaned over and whispered, "There's something I need to tell you, bro. Our Water Conservancy Bureau has started to prepare to build a residential building for employees. The location is on the Tiger Immortal Bridge. Bro, although you have been promoted to the General Office of the Municipal Party Committee, you are still a member of our Water Conservancy Bureau. You will always be a member of our Water Conservancy Bureau. I've decided to give you a target. If you want this house, you can pay 250,000 yuan. If you don't have the money, I'll pay you first. If you don't have the money, you can pay me back later. If you don't want this house, it's also not a problem. The target is in your hands. If you want to sell it, you can also make some money. You have a lot of expenses, so it's better to leave some money in your hands … "
Li Rui was shocked. He opened his mouth wide and couldn't close it.
The Tiger Immortal Bridge was a bustling area in the Southern District. It was considered the center of the old city of Qingyang. It was next to the city's railway station, so it was the best choice for shopping, transportation, and traveling. The current housing price there was the highest in the whole of Qingyang. The average price was around 6,000 yuan. A high-end apartment would cost more than 8,000 yuan, and the worst one would cost at least 6,000 yuan. With such high housing prices, even when his personal wealth was at its peak, he didn't dare to buy a house there. Even though he had wanted to buy a new house more than once, he had never thought of buying one at the Tiger Immortal Bridge. It was not that he didn't want to, but he couldn't. He didn't have the ability.
Besides, those who lived at the Tiger Immortal Bridge were all powerful and rich people in the city. Even if he had a house there, it would be incompatible with the general environment. It would be a joke.
In short, he had never thought of owning a house at the Tiger Immortal Bridge. However, tonight, Zhang Jianshe offered him a chance to buy a house there. According to the price he offered, it was not a chance to buy a house, but a chance to give it to him. It was up to him whether he wanted it or not.
According to Zhang Jianshe, this was a house for the employees of the Municipal Water Conservancy Bureau. He could get it if he paid 250,000 yuan. However, 250,000 yuan was nothing in this era of skyrocketing prices. Even if he bought a house in the New District of the High-Tech District, he could only buy 50 square meters, let alone a house with an average price of 6,000 yuan. However, how could the house given by Zhang Jianshe be only 50 square meters? It should be at least 100 square meters, right? 250,000 yuan divided by 100 square meters was less than 2,500 square meters. Where could he find such a low housing price? He probably couldn't buy it in the suburban county. In this case, wasn't it the same as giving him a house? Moreover, he made it clear that if he had 250,000 yuan, he would pay for it. If he didn't, he would pay for it. It didn't matter if he returned it or not. Since he had said so, what else could it be but giving it to him?
For a moment, Li Rui was pleasantly surprised. His mouth was dry and his body was hot. The alcohol in his body began to take effect. It kept burning his brain that was confused because of the excitement, making him more and more delirious.
Seeing that he didn't express his opinion, Zhang Jianshe continued, "According to the relevant regulations, the area of the house can't exceed the limit. So now there are only three types of houses. Two-bedrooms and one living room are 96 square meters, three-bedrooms and one living room are 121 square meters, and three-bedrooms and two living rooms are 140 square meters. Before you left the Water Conservancy Bureau, you were already a sector-level cadre. You are fully qualified to live in a house of 140 square meters. The target I left for you is this kind of house. "Li Rui was more and more surprised. He asked," 140 square meters? "Zhang Jianshe nodded and said with a smile," This is the largest house. "
Li Rui's mind was spinning rapidly. He calculated how much was 250,000 divided by 140 square meters. It felt like the average price per square meter was about 1,600 or 1,700. Oh my god, where else could he find such a low price in China today? If it wasn't for Zhang Jianjian's oily fat face smiling at him, he would have thought that he was living in a news broadcast.
He quickly thought that even if he didn't live in the house he bought, he could sell it after he got it. If he multiplied 140 square meters with the average price of 6,000 yuan in Huxian Bridge, it would be about 840,000 yuan. The total price of 840,000 yuan, minus the cost price of 250,000 yuan, he would make a net profit of 600,000 yuan.
Damn, Old Zhang is giving me 600,000 yuan all at once. This is calculated without considering the appreciation of the house! Is this how he pays me back? He's so f * cking generous!
Li Rui was excited and scared. He asked nervously, "I'm no longer in the Water Conservancy Bureau. Do I still have the right to buy this kind of house? If people know … "Zhang Jianshe smiled and dispelled his worries." The proposal to build a house with funds was discussed at the meeting of the Water Conservancy Bureau's Party Committee a long time ago, and it was approved a long time ago. But for various reasons, it hasn't been prepared yet. At that time, you hadn't left the Water Conservancy Bureau yet. I could have said that a quota had been set for you, a sector-level cadre. Even if people know, what can they say? Besides, everyone knows that this kind of house with funds can be resold. There's no need to talk about whether I'm qualified or not. "
Li Ruixin was very happy. Only a fool would refuse such a good thing. He knew that Zhang Jianshe was so kind because of his identity as the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, but he didn't want to refuse. Anyway, even if this kind of thing was spread out, he would be justified. Why would he be afraid of being slandered? He quickly got up and took the wine bottle, refilled Zhang Jianshe's glass, and then filled his own glass. He raised his glass and said, "I'd like to propose a toast to Zhang Jianshe. Thank you for thinking of me."
Zhang Jianshe was even happier than Li Rui. A house with funds for the staff of the Water Conservancy Bureau was a piece of cake for him. He could easily get ten houses, let alone one. He only used a small house of 140 square meters. He could repay Li Rui's kindness of saving his life and sell him a big favor. It could be said that he made a lot of money. He laughed and stood up. He said, "We're on the same side. Don't be so polite. Come on, let's drink. "
They drank the wine. Li Rui filled Zhang Jianshe's glass again and said, "Brother, when will the money be paid? Let me know." Zhang Jianshe nodded. "Sure, sure." But in his heart, he thought that it was only 250,000 yuan. He could pay it for him. Anyway, he was selling a favor. It was better to be generous.
