Li Rui said, "Smart and quick-witted. Although she's a woman, she seems to be very capable." Song Chaoyang was slightly surprised and said, "A woman? A female bureau chief? "Li Rui wanted to add," She's also very pretty. "But he was afraid that his boss would think he was being frivolous, so he closed his mouth and did not say anything. He only nodded. Song Chaoyang pondered for a while and asked, "How old is she this year?" Li Rui said, "She looks to be in her forties, or even younger." Song Chaoyang frowned and said, "So young, and a woman. She's a female bureau chief … Do you know her well?"
Li Rui understood the meaning of his words. In fact, he was asking if he knew anything about her background. It was no wonder that he was suspicious. Even he was puzzled. How could such a young and beautiful woman be a divisional leader? Who would believe that there was no one behind her? He smiled bitterly and said, "I just met her, so I don't know her well." Song Chaoyang nodded and said, "You know her now, right? You can get to know her better in the future … Uh, you can check when I'm free this week and ask her to come over."
Li Rui returned to his desk and looked at his boss's schedule for this week. He would have an hour of free time tomorrow after four o 'clock in the afternoon, so he went in to confirm with Song Chaoyang. Song Chaoyang nodded in agreement. After he came out, he found Zhang Mingfang's contact number in the municipal department's phone book and dialed her number. After the call connected, he briefly explained the situation.
Although the leaders of the municipal department (or more accurately, the secretaries of the Municipal Party Committee or the Municipal Party Committee, because most of the leaders of the departments were also the leaders of the Party Committee) were under the jurisdiction of the Municipal Party Committee Secretary, it did not mean that these leaders could meet the Municipal Party Committee Secretary whenever they wanted to. If the Municipal Party Committee Secretary did not summon them, it would be impossible for them to meet him.
Because of this, after Zhang Mingfang understood Li Rui's words, she was a little wild with joy. That kind of feeling was as if she had casually bought a lottery ticket and won a huge prize of five million yuan. She thought that this little brother was really kind. Not only did he take her request seriously, but he also completed it so quickly. Ever since she entered the officialdom, when had she seen such a straightforward person? Just based on this point alone, she could see that this person's future was limitless.
She was surprised and happy at the same time. She made up her mind to make good friends with Li Rui, so she spoke very warmly, "Director Li, I'm a few years older than you, so I'm calling myself older than you. You don't have a problem with that, right?" When Li Rui saw that she took the initiative to show goodwill, he felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart. He did not reject being friends with a leader with real power. From his experience of introducing jobs to his cousin Li Xiaona, he could see that there were only benefits and no disadvantages to making friends with a few people with real power. He did not expect them to help him in his hour of need. Even if it was just icing on the cake, it would be enough. He smiled and said, "No problem, I can't wait. You don't have to call me Director Li. Just call me Xiao Rui. "
Zhang Mingfang had not dealt with such a tactful official for a very long time. Hearing his words, she felt her whole body relax, as if she had drunk good wine. Her mood became even better. She smiled and said, "Then I'll shamelessly call myself Sister Zhang. Xiao Rui, hehe." Li Rui said, "You don't have to be so polite. In any case, I won't be polite with you in the future." Zhang Mingfang was very happy and said, "Xiao Rui, you're so kind. If I don't express my gratitude to your Sister Zhang, then I don't deserve to be your friend. When are you free in the near future? Come out and sit with me so I can express my gratitude. Whether it's a meal or some other activity, you can choose! "
Li Rui said, "You're treating me like an outsider. We're already calling each other brother and sister, so why be so polite? In the future, we'll have a lot of time to sit together. " Zhang Mingfang saw his refusal and did not know if he was unwilling to agree or if he had other thoughts. It was not convenient for her to ask. After thinking for a while, she thought that since they had just met not long ago, there was no need to rush. If they were fated to be friends, then they would naturally walk together. She said, "Okay, then I won't say such things again. It's fine as long as you know how I feel. Another day when you're not busy, let's meet again. "Li Rui smiled and said," Won't we meet again tomorrow afternoon? " Zhang Mingfang smiled happily and said, "Xiao Rui, I don't know why, but I feel like I hit it off with you. If you don't mind, we can be good friends … Okay, I won't hold you up anymore. I'll hang up first. See you tomorrow."
Li Rui said goodbye to her and hung up the phone. He thought that since she was so enthusiastic and proactive towards him, it was natural that she wanted to get close to his boss as soon as possible. He reckoned that she was tired of staying in the Municipal Cultural Relics Bureau. Thinking about it, a cold yamen like the Municipal Cultural Relics Bureau that did not have any additional income other than eating from the finance department. They had neither power nor money, so no one would be willing to be a leader there. Even if they were transferred to the Cultural Bureau, they would be able to earn a lot of money. If they were transferred to a department with more power, such as the Bureau of Land and Resources or the Bureau of Safety, even if they were just a deputy director, it would definitely be an earth-shaking change.
Thinking of this, he sighed. Everyone wanted to be an official, but after becoming a high-ranking official, they had more worries and needs. Those who were not in the yamen wanted to be promoted. Those with lower ranks wanted to be promoted. Those with higher ranks wanted to be promoted. Those with lower ranks wanted to be promoted. Those with higher ranks wanted to be promoted. Those with lower ranks wanted to be promoted. Those with lower ranks wanted to be promoted. Those with higher ranks wanted to be promoted. Those with lower ranks wanted to be promoted. Those with lower ranks wanted to be promoted. Those with higher ranks wanted to be promoted. Those with lower ranks wanted to be promoted. Those with lower ranks wanted to be promoted. Why do people always have so many desires? Can't they just live a simple life?
That night, Li Rui got off work early. He sent Song Chaoyang back to the Qingyang Hotel before 9pm. After leaving the hotel, he didn't dare to delay. He immediately took a taxi to the city's television station. On the way, he called Lu Qingman and told her about his feelings for her.
When he arrived at the entrance of the city's television station, the old guard recognized him and said, "It's you again, young man. You're here to pick up Lin Yafei again? Are you her boyfriend? "Li Rui laughed and said," I'm here to pick her up, but I'm not her boyfriend. I'm her brother. "The old guard said," I've never seen you before. "Li Rui laughed and said," Yes, she's been a little timid recently. That's why she specially asked me to pick her up from work. "The old guard nodded and said," Then go quickly. "
Li Rui successfully entered the main entrance. He took the elevator to the eighth floor and walked to the door of Lin Yafei's office. As usual, her door was open. As usual, she was sitting behind her desk. As usual, the chubby Director Li was standing beside her.
Seeing this scene, Li Rui was stunned. He thought that this was the same scene as when he came to pick up Lin Yafei for the first time yesterday. He pinched his cheeks and realized that this was not a dream. He looked at Director Li with a cold expression. He thought to himself, 'You harassed Lin Yafei yesterday, and I tolerated it. Why are you harassing her again today? Do you really think that my friends are so easily bullied?'
He didn't knock and walked in casually. He said, "Yafei, I'm late. I saw your director just now and chatted with him."
Lin Yafei and Director Li looked up at him at the same time. Lin Yafei was more direct. She packed up her things and prepared to leave. Director Li looked at him with some disgust. He wanted to say something, but he was shocked by his words. What? Does he know the director? That's not possible. He's just a nobody. How can he know the director? He said casually, "Our director got off work a long time ago. Which director did you see?"
Li Rui said lightly, "Director Wang Wengui." Director Li said, "That's impossible. He got off work a long time ago and went home." Li Rui said, "No, I saw him downstairs." Director Li pursed his lips and said, "Can't you brag a little more? How could you possibly know our dignified station head? Are you dreaming? "
Lin Yafei had already packed her things in advance. She put away the pen and paper in front of her and walked out with her bag. She smiled and watched the two bicker without saying a word.
Li Rui said with a smile, "You said I don't know your director? Okay, then I'll give him a call now. What if he picks up? "Director Li said coldly," Don't joke around! How can you have our director's phone number? Who do you think you are? Don't tell me what to do if he picks up. As long as you have his number in your phone, I'll give in to you. " Li Rui took out his phone with a smile and found Wang Wengui's number. He handed it over and said, "Look, is this the number?"
Director Li took the phone and took a closer look. He wouldn't have known if he didn't look, but when he did, he was shocked and exclaimed, "Oh, you really do have our director's phone number. You … how did you get his number?" He then said, "It's no big deal to have his phone number. Does it mean that he knows you?"
Li Rui ignored him and called Wang Wengui with a smile. When the call was connected, he said, "Director Wang, it's me." Wang Wengui said in surprise, "Oh, it's the leader. What orders do you have? I'll do it right away." Li Rui was very satisfied with his exaggerated tone and said with a smile, "Director Wang, please don't say that. How am I a leader?" Wang Wengui said with a smile, "Brother Li, if you're not a leader, then who is? If you have something to say, just say it. Don't be polite with me. " Li Rui looked at Director Li and said, "It's like this. This is the second time I've come to pick Yafei up from work, but it's also the second time I've seen Deputy Director Li by Yafei's side, watching over her work and growth. I'm very touched. If every deputy director can be like Deputy Director Li and care for Yafei, then Yafei won't have to worry about not having a future. "
He didn't say the truth about Director Li pestering Lin Yafei, but used the Spring and Autumn Annals to belittle him. He believed that if Wang Wengui was smart enough, he would understand the meaning of his words.
