After Li Rui heard his words, it was as if a window had opened up in his head. He felt that his career as a secretary had entered a new realm. He excitedly held Li Ming's hand and said, "Brother, you've finally enlightened me. If you hadn't taught me these things, I'm afraid I would have offended everyone and wouldn't even know how. " Li Ming chuckled and said, "Brother, you're so smart. You'll understand these things sooner or later. I'm just taking advantage of my seniority to show off in front of you. Anyway, you don't have to worry about the Discipline Inspection Committee investigating you. Even if they ate the wrong medicine, they wouldn't dare to investigate you, the trusted aide of the Municipal Party Committee's secretary. Even if they receive a report with solid evidence, your boss will still suppress it. Of course, the people in the government are all smart. If they're not forced, they won't fight to the death. "
Li Rui frowned and said, "But it's better to be safe than sorry. What if I accept someone else's gift and get sued? "Li Ming laughed and said," If that day really comes, you'll have to deny it. Dead men tell no tales. "Li Rui curiously asked," What do you mean? I accepted the gift and left it at home. If the Discipline Inspection Committee comes to investigate, won't it be over? Why won't you admit it? "Li Ming smiled and said," Who told you to leave the gift at home? "He then said," Brother, you're a smart person so I won't go into detail. Yes, this is a shopping card. You felt that Old Lu's gift was too expensive, so I discussed with him and changed it to a small card. This kind of shopping card can be found anywhere in the city. You can say you picked it up or bought it yourself. No one will care. How to use the card is written on the back. Okay, I won't disturb your rest. I'll leave first. I'll come visit godfather another day. "He patted his shoulder and turned to leave.
Since Li Rui had already said so much, if he didn't accept the card, then he wouldn't be giving him face. After thinking about it, he could only helplessly put the card in his trouser pocket and walk back home. He thought about what Li Ming had just taught him and secretly felt lucky that he had such a godbrother to remind him at all times. Otherwise, he wouldn't even know that he had made a big mistake. However, he couldn't help but sigh. Since when was it a crime not to accept a gift?
After returning home, Li Rui took a shower. When he was about to throw his clothes into the washing machine, he inadvertently saw Yao Xuefei's business card. Naturally, he remembered her instructions to him and Song Chaoyang. He had an idea. Why don't I give her a call? It's not only my answer to her instructions, but also my boss's order. Even if others know about it, they won't gossip. But he didn't know if she was already asleep at this time of the night. Also, if she wasn't single, would this call cause her husband to misunderstand?
After hesitating for a while, he decided not to make the call. It was really too late. It would be easy for people to misunderstand.
He didn't make the call, but after lying on the bed, he couldn't fall asleep. When he thought of Yao Xuefei's beautiful face and graceful body, he felt as if a ball of fire was burning in his heart. It was so hot that his whole body felt uncomfortable. He couldn't close his eyes no matter how hard he tried. Looking at the half-empty king-sized bed, he was secretly distressed. When could he find a new owner for this king-sized bed?
Li Rui finally decided to call Yao Xuefei. He would use the excuse of "I just watched the replay of the news and give her some advice." If her husband was alarmed, then he would use his boss's name to scare her husband away.
The call was quickly connected. Yao Xuefei's sweet and clear voice came from the other end of the line. "Hello, who is this?" Li Rui knew that she wasn't asleep. Otherwise, she wouldn't have picked up the phone so quickly. Also, she seemed to be in a good mood because her voice sounded pleasant. Even so, he didn't dare to joke with her. He said, "Reporter Yao, I'm Li Rui from the General Office of the Municipal Party Committee." Yao Xuefei was slightly surprised. She said in surprise, "Ah, it's you … What can I do for you?" Li Rui couldn't help but laugh. He said softly, "I hope I didn't disturb your rest." Yao Xuefei said, "No, no, no. Hehe, I usually go to bed after 12 o 'clock. I'm a night owl. Luckily, I'm alone in the house. I'm not afraid of disturbing anyone. "
Li Ruixin's head suddenly jumped. This beautiful host had just called him and already hinted that she lived alone. What did that mean? Without much hesitation, Yao Xuefei said directly, "Reporter Yao, it's like this. Song Shuji and I just watched the replay of the Qingyang News. We watched the clip that you edited. Didn't you say that you wanted to give some advice …" Yao Xuefei laughed and said, "Oh, is that so? Then the leader must have some advice. Wait a moment. I'll go find a notebook and write it down properly. " When Li Rui saw that she was so serious, it made his call seem like a child's play. He couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. He quickly said, "You don't have to look for it. Just listen to it." Yao Xuefei said, "Oh, okay. Leader, please go ahead." Li Rui said, "Don't call me leader. I'm not a leader." Yao Xuefei laughed and said, "You're too modest. You are the leader." Li Rui didn't want to argue with her. He said, "Actually, it's nothing. It's just that I … I feel that you're a little nervous in front of the camera. You're not as relaxed as you usually are. I hope … Hehe, it's best that you change this aspect. "Yao Xuefei laughed and said," Really? I'm usually better than being on camera … "
Li Rui didn't expect that the call would last for almost an hour. In the beginning, the two of them could barely say that they were "talking about business," but later on, they talked about everything from entertainment to astronomy and geography. Moreover, the more they talked, the more excited they became. The more they talked, the more congenial they became. Neither of them showed any signs of fatigue.
When Li Rui reluctantly hung up the phone, he came back to his senses. He realized that on such a quiet summer night, he had just chatted with the most beautiful female host in the city's television station. She was the goddess of many men's dreams. If it weren't for Yao Xuefei's beautiful voice, he would have thought that he was dreaming. If it were in the past, he wouldn't have dared to think that he would have such good fortune. But now, he did it so easily without any difficulty. When he thought of this, he was so proud that he forgot his manners. He jumped up and stood on the bed, dancing with joy.
But when he calmed down, he remembered that his boss, Song Chaoyang, seemed to have a good impression of her. He felt a chill in his heart. He thought to himself, "Everything I have now is given to me by my boss. There's no doubt that without him, I wouldn't be where I am now. How could I touch a woman that he's interested in? I should have avoided her. How could I have chatted with her for so long? Sigh, I accidentally made another mistake. How depressing. "
The next morning, Li Rui and Lao Zhou went to the Qingyang Hotel to pick up Song Chaoyang. At the VIP reception, Li Rui met Dong Jieyu.
As Li Rui came to the VIP reception more and more often, he became more familiar with the place. He wasn't as reserved as he was the first time he came. When he saw Dong Jieyu, he naturally went forward to greet her. "Good morning, Director Dong." Dong Jieyu went forward and said, "Good morning, Director Li …" Then she whispered, "Come to my house after work tonight."
Li Rui was stunned. Firstly, he didn't expect her to say such intimate things to him at work. Secondly, he didn't know why she wanted him to go to her house. She even said "after work tonight …", which made the upcoming visit seem ambiguous.
No matter what, it was always a happy thing to receive an invitation from her. He also knew that this woman didn't talk much. She had already said what she could say. Even if he asked her something she couldn't say, she wouldn't say anything. So he didn't ask anymore. He nodded at her and walked up the stairs to the second floor.
Today, Song Chaoyang's itinerary was to go to Gaokai District for research. But before he left, he invited the mayor, Sun Yaozu, to talk about something.
Li Rui knew that he wanted to talk to Sun Yaozu about Luo Dawei. It would probably take a while, so he took the time to go to the secretary's office.
Deputy Director Yao Wei, who was in charge of the department, and other people saw him suddenly come over. They all gave him a warm welcome.
Li Rui told them about his plan to accompany the Secretary-General to Nanhe County on Tuesday to do a field survey of the Municipal Party Committee's General Office and the development of education in the villages and towns. He asked who in the department wanted to go. There were a total of two places, and it was first come, first served.
The lively and active girl, Zhang Hui, was the first to stand up and raise her hand. "I want to sign up. Hehe, I've been cooped up in the office all day. It's time to go out and get some fresh air."
Li Rui smiled and said, "Okay, I'll count you in." He then looked at the other deputy director, Sun Dazhong, and said, "Director Sun, why don't you come along?"
Yao Wei was in charge of the department, so he definitely couldn't leave. Li Rui wanted to show respect to his old comrade, so he could only choose Sun Dazhong.
Sun Dazhong stood up and said naively, "Okay, I'll go with the director."
