He was right next to Ling Shuyao on her left and right, so he could smell the delicate fragrance from her body. Thinking of the intimate scene where he washed her feet in front of the Kang bed in Little Dragon King Village, he felt his heart warm up. He stole a glance and saw that everyone was seriously reading the report, so he secretly kicked her under the conference table.
Ling Shuyao was such a wonderful person. She was obviously kicked by him, but she still didn't look at him. She turned the report to a page and pretended to read it fluently. She didn't make any movements to fight back, as if she had never been harassed.
Li Rui saw that she wasn't moved, so he gently rubbed his foot against her shoe. His movements were extremely intimate. Ling Shuyao didn't move, even though he was being naughty. Just when Li Rui thought it was meaningless and wanted to withdraw his foot, she fiercely stepped on his shoe. Fortunately, this woman didn't like to wear high heels. She usually wore flat shoes, so Li Rui didn't feel much pain.
Song Chaoyang guessed that everyone was almost done reading the report, so he said, "Everyone, let's talk about your views. How to formulate a comprehensive and detailed plan for poverty alleviation at the grassroots level will directly determine the effectiveness of our poverty alleviation work in the future. It's very important. This matter was originally the responsibility of the Poverty Alleviation Office. Today, I've overstepped my authority. I hope everyone can pay attention to it. "
His words set the tone. Even if someone didn't want to pay attention to it, they couldn't. Whoever didn't pay attention to it would be going against him. Who had the guts to go against the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee?
Other than Song Chaoyang, the Municipal Party Committee's Secretary General, Du Minsheng, had the highest status. Although he and Deputy Mayor Luo Bin were both deputies, he was a member of the Municipal Party Committee's Standing Committee. He had the right to vote on important decisions in the city. This was supreme power. Therefore, he had the right to be the first to speak.
Du Minsheng's speech was steady and steady. "After reading this report on poverty alleviation, I am deeply moved. Like the author of this report, Li Rui, I have never had any experience in poverty alleviation before. Now it seems that my idea of poverty alleviation at the grassroots level is a bit too simple. What I want to say is that helping the needy and the perilous has been an excellent tradition of our Chinese nation for thousands of years. In the current era, poverty alleviation and development work has become one of the most important government work of our country. Its importance is beyond doubt. Song Shuji is right. I hope that everyone can take the importance of poverty alleviation seriously. We must also carefully formulate relevant implementation measures. That's all I have to say. The specific measures will depend on the opinions of the professional poverty alleviation department. I'm not a layman, but I'm an expert. "
He was indeed a layman in poverty alleviation work. He was able to participate in this meeting because Song Chaoyang wanted him to keep abreast of the progress of poverty alleviation work as the secretary and butler of the Municipal Party Committee. He also wanted him to help make overall plans. Song Chaoyang did not expect him to give any specific opinions. Therefore, it was enough for him to say these words. It was enough for him to express his attitude.
Next, it was Deputy Mayor Luo Bin's turn to speak. After that, it was the Director of the Municipal Poverty Alleviation Office and other leaders. Ling Shuyao also spoke.
As the author of this report, Li Rui had the honor of appearing in front of all the leaders. He spoke with assurance and spoke a lot. Some of the content was previously reported to Lu Zhouxing. He extended some ideas from those ideas and was considered very innovative.
Everyone nodded as they listened.
Song Chaoyang saw that Li Rui's words were meaningful and very reasonable. He nodded to himself and felt that he had picked the right person.
In any meeting, when discussing and formulating implementation measures or strategies, it was impossible to formulate them in one meeting. It required multiple meetings to discuss, discuss, consider, debate, and even a voting process in the end before it could be finalized.
This time was the same. After everyone expressed their opinions, Song Chaoyang gave everyone homework to think about and draft the document. The meeting was adjourned and they could continue the discussion in the next meeting.
Just like how Rome was not built in a day, the solution was definitely not thought of in a day. Song Chaoyang did not need everyone to come up with the relevant solution efficiently. As long as he repeatedly emphasized the importance of poverty alleviation in meetings, people with intentions would naturally respond according to his wishes. This was one of the characteristics of China's officialdom. It was also one of the ways in which the Chinese people were smart.
After returning to his desk and sitting down, Li Rui received a message from Ling Shuyao on the chatting tool: "If your legs are itchy, chop them off yourself!"
He laughed and replied to her: "Someone is more poisonous than a scorpion. Scorpions only stung the buttocks. Someone will chop off hands and feet at the drop of a hat." Ling Shuyao replied: "Scram!" Soon after, she sent a shy emoji.
Li Rui's message was naturally mocking her incident in Xiao Longwang Village where she was stung by a scorpion on her buttocks. Seeing her shy expression, he thought that she was a sensible and tactful woman. Just as he was thinking about how to tease her, his personal phone rang. He took a look at it and saw that it was an unfamiliar number. He did not pick it up and waited for three or four rings to confirm that it was not a harassing call before picking it up: "Hello."
He did not introduce himself to avoid giving the stranger an opportunity to take advantage of him.
On the other end of the line, a man's muffled voice sounded: "Hey, is this Xiao Rui? Is it? "Li Rui said:" I am, and you are? "The man laughed and said:" I am your second brother, Fucai. I am the second son of your second uncle's family. " Li Rui frowned and showed a displeased expression. How did this guy get his phone number? Could it be that his father told him? Li Fucai said, "I went to your house yesterday, did my uncle tell you?" Li Rui pretended to be confused and said, "No, I haven't been home since I came back from the province." Li Fucai laughed and said, "My uncle didn't say anything, then I'll tell you …"
Li Rui knew that he wanted to help his daughter Li Xiaona find a job in the city. He was very annoyed, but he could not reject his call. It was not that he could not, but that he could not bring himself to do it. This attitude was completely different from the attitude he expressed to his father Li Jianmin in the morning. At that time, he was not in front of Li Fucai, so he could be cold and heartless and say that he would not help. But now that the other party called, he could not ignore it. He sighed in his heart. He was too soft-hearted.
Li Fucai was indeed talking about this matter. He briefly explained the situation and said: "Xiao Rui, I won't say much. You are Li Xiaona's uncle, and now that you are a high-ranking official, if you don't help her, who will? That's why you should help me out a little. Didn't you help Auntie's Xiao Po find a good job in the city's traffic police team? Our Li Xiaona doesn't need to be so good. She can just find a decent job. She is at the age where she is looking for a partner. If she has a job, it will be good for her to get married, right? When she gets married, she won't be part of the Li family anymore. I won't do anything about it, okay? "
Li Rui listened to his straightforward words. Although he was resentful, he really couldn't do such a heartless thing. After thinking about it, he felt that his request was not too excessive. He could just ask a friend to arrange a job for Li Xiaona. Since that was the case, he might as well agree to it. Whether or not he would betray Li Fucai was another matter. At least he could get some peace of mind. However, he secretly thought that since he could remember, he had not seen Li Xiaona much, and he didn't know her specific education and ability. He had to ask clearly first. Otherwise, how could he help her find a suitable job? He asked: "How old is Li Xiaona this year? What is her education? What are her skills? Does she have any special skills?"
Li Fucai saw that he was willing to help and was so happy that he could not close his mouth. He said with a smile: "You can ask Li Xiaona. She is twenty or twenty-one this year. I can't remember. Anyway, she is either twenty or twenty-one. As for her education, she probably did not graduate from junior high school. But she is not illiterate. She knows English. As for her skills, she has changed a lot of jobs over the years. She worked as a waitress in a restaurant, raised mushrooms in a greenhouse, worked in a bookbinding factory, and even worked as a helper in a hair salon. They weren't serious jobs, but this girl can endure hardships and is smart. She learns everything quickly, so you don't have to worry. As for her special skills, she doesn't have any special skills. I just don't know what she has. Does being pretty count? This girl is pretty. Haha, she has a group of young men pursuing her wherever she goes. They often come to her house. "
Li Rui thought for a moment and said: "I will take a look first. If there is a good opportunity, let Li Xiaona give it a try."
Li Fucai was very happy. He thanked him profusely and hung up the phone.
Li Rui put the phone on the table. He had two considerations. First, he could recommend Li Xiaona to the Qingyang Hotel. The General Manager, Dong Jieyu, and the Deputy General Manager, Li Xiaoyue, were his good friends. It would not be a problem to put someone there. Working as a waiter in Qingyang Hotel could be considered a decent job. Secondly, working as a waiter in Qingyang Hotel could be considered a decent job. Yang Peng was in need of salespeople in the specialty store, so it would be easy for him to get Li Xiaona to work there. That job should be considered decent.
He had these two thoughts in his mind, but he did not call Li Fucai back immediately. It was just like when he promised his aunt to help his cousin, Xiao Po, find a job. He could not agree to this kind of thing too quickly. If he agreed too quickly, it would increase their dependence on him. Wouldn't they have to trouble him for everything in the future? He must give them the impression that even if he stepped in, it would not be so easy to solve their problems. He would have to go through a lot of twists and turns and owe them a big favor before he could finally solve it. Although it was a bit like scheming against his relatives, there was no other way. Every man for himself, and the devil takes the hindmost.
