Wan Jinyou was not angry. He looked around to make sure no one was looking, then leaned over and said in a low voice, "My brother-in-law lives in the VIP building in the backyard. He is Song Chaoyang, the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee of Qingyang City." Li Xiaona already knew that Song Chaoyang, the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee of Qingyang City, lived in the VIP building. She also knew that Uncle Li Rui would pick him up every morning and night. She was not surprised to hear that. She smiled patiently and said, "Is there anything I can help you with?" Wan Jinyou pursed his lips and said, "What do I need your help with? My brother-in-law is Song Chaoyang. Aren't you surprised at all? " Li Xiaona started to feel a headache coming on. The smile on her face faded. She asked, "Is there anything you need? If not, please … "Wan Jinyou smiled and said," It's nothing serious. I just want to be friends with you. " After that, he took out a business card and handed it to her. "My surname is Wan. I'm the general representative of the Victoria Group of Hong Kong in Shannan Province. You can call me Boss Wan. Haha."
Li Xiaona had never encountered such a situation before. For a moment, she did not know how to deal with it. She looked at his business card and was at a loss.
Wan Jinyou had some experience in wooing women. He knew that he could not rush the first time, or he would not have another chance in the future. The first time was just to get to know each other. It was not too late to get closer to each other after the second or third time. He put the business card in front of her on the table and smiled at her handsomely. "I'm going to talk about a business deal. I might be back late. I hope I can see you then." After that, he turned and left.
Li Xiaona watched him leave in disgust. She looked at the business card on the table and was about to throw it into the trash can by her feet.
At that moment, someone shouted, "Xiaona, don't throw it!"
When Li Xiaona turned to look, she saw the deputy general manager, Li Xiaoyue, walking over. She hurriedly greeted her. Li Xiaoyue walked to her side, took the business card from her hand and looked at it. Then she handed it back to her and said, "Come with me."
Li Xiaona did not know what she meant. She followed her out of the front desk in confusion.
Several waitresses next to her looked at her with schadenfreude, thinking that Li Xiao Yue was going to punish her.
Li Xiaoyue took Li Xiaona to the door, went down the stairs, and stood in the corner. She told her what Li Rui had told her just now. Finally, she said, "Keep this business card well. It can be used as evidence that he harassed you." Li Xiaona had never expected that her uncle Li Rui would secretly arrange such a small task for her. Thinking that she was lucky enough to help him, her heart pounded and she was very happy. She nodded and said, "I … I will listen to Mr. Li's arrangement and help my uncle do it well."
When Li Xiaona returned to the front desk, her expression was calm, as if nothing had happened.
The waitress closest to her, who had a slightly plump figure, asked indifferently, "Did you get scolded by Director Li?" Li Xiaona was stunned. She shook her head and said, "No." The waitress sneered and said, "Still pretending? Don't pretend. As soon as you were called out by Director Li, we all knew that you were scolded. It's not that I want to criticize you, but you can't do it without professional training. Just now, your attitude to the guests was so bad. Your expression was so stiff. People who don't know you will think that you are just here to make up the numbers. "
Another thin waitress joined in and said, "That's right. Your expression was hypocritical and slightly exaggerated. Do you think you are shooting a comedy movie? You will offend all the guests sooner or later. "
The slightly plump waitress said, "Back then, before we came to the front desk, we had received three months of special training. The person who trained us was the lobby manager of the provincial government's guest house. The training course was professional. But what about you? What kind of training did you receive? Don't blame me for cursing you. If you go on like this, you will be scolded every day. "
Li Xiaona felt wronged and helpless, but she did not say anything. She turned around and faced the lobby. She was quite confused. Didn't she complain to her uncle a long time ago? Why didn't he do anything? He remembered to arrange a task for her, but didn't he remember that incident? If he didn't help her, how could she continue to be ostracized and ridiculed by her colleagues?
At this time, Li Rui was sitting face to face with Ding Yijing and eating hotpot intimately. He suddenly sneezed three times and felt that it was strange. According to the old rules, sneezing was "one scolding, two thinking, and three nagging". Since he sneezed three times, did it mean that someone was nagging him? He didn't know if it was Gao Zixuan who was nagging him in the provincial capital or that disgusting Wan Jinyou who was secretly nagging him.
Ding Yijing looked up at him and asked, "Have you caught a cold?" Li Rui shook his head and smiled, "My body is so strong. How can I catch a cold so easily? I am just touched that I can have dinner with you. "Ding Yijing laughed and said," Bah, you. Haven't you heard that you will sneeze when you are touched? " Li Rui reached out his chopsticks and put a few pieces of mutton into her small bowl. He said, "It's still early after dinner. Shall we go watch a movie?" Ding Yijing looked at her watch and said, "Okay, let's go to the theater. If there's something good, we'll watch it. If there's nothing good, we won't watch it."
The two lowered their heads to eat and drink. Sometimes they chatted and laughed. Although they didn't talk much, the atmosphere was warm.
After dinner, Ding Yijing went out to warm up the car while Li Rui went to the counter to pay the bill.
When he was paying the bill, the curtain at the back door to the courtyard swayed and a man walked in. Li Rui inadvertently looked over and coincidentally the man also looked over. The two looked at each other and recognized each other.
Li Rui involuntarily called out, "Director Zhang." Then he smiled and went over to greet him. The man said affectionately, "Xiao Rui, brother, we are brothers. You also came to eat."
This man was the director of the Municipal Water Conservancy Bureau, Zhang Jianshe.
The two tightly held hands and smiled as they exchanged greetings.
Li Rui remembered that his and Lu Qingman's wedding was approaching and that the promise to buy her a new house had not been made. Naturally, he thought of the city's water conservancy bureau's employees building a fund raising house. He quietly asked, "Director Zhang, when will our fund raising house be built? When will it be completed? "Zhang Jianshe waved his hand and said," Construction will begin after the New Year and the house is expected to be delivered on National Day. "Li Rui was shocked and said," So fast? " Zhang Jianshe said, "It has to be fast. Inflation is so high now and prices are rising too fast. If you delay it for a few months, you will have to spend hundreds of thousands or even millions more. Ai, you can't afford to offend the prices." Li Rui smiled and said, "That's true. Then my 250,000 …" Zhang Jianshe didn't wait for him to finish and said in a low voice, "Don't say it, don't say it. Haha, come to my place. Let's drink a few more cups and I'll introduce you to some friends."
Li Rui said apologetically, "I have something to do and have to leave now. I'll treat you to a meal another day. I just want to ask when I'll hand over the money. I'll hand it over quickly. "Zhang Jianshe smiled and said," What's there to hand over? I'll pay it for you. "Li Rui didn't want to be accused of accepting bribes and said," How can I do that? If I don't pay the money, I'll be too embarrassed to ask for the house. "Zhang Jianshe asked," You really want to pay? "Li Rui nodded firmly. Zhang Jianshe smiled bitterly and said, "Ai, brother, you're good at everything but you're too serious. Why? Alright, alright, I'll find some time to ask the finance department of the fund raising office to call you. "Li Rui smiled and said," Sorry to trouble you. "Zhang Jianshe said," We're brothers. Haha. "
Li Rui was about to say goodbye to him when he suddenly remembered his old enemy, Yuan Jingjing. He asked, "I heard something happened to my old boss's family?" Zhang Jianshe didn't know what he meant by this. Who didn't know that Feng Weidong, a member of the Municipal Party Committee, the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee's Political and Legal Committee, and the director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, had fallen from power? Why did he suddenly mention this? Thinking that he purposely said "something happened to my old boss's family", his heart moved. Could it be that he was asking about Yuan Jingjing? He pretended to be confused and said, "I don't think so. She still goes to work every day and hasn't changed much compared to before." Li Rui sighed and said, "Now that her father-in-law has fallen from power, her life won't be easy, right?" Zhang Jianshe couldn't guess what he was thinking. He simply smiled and asked, "Brother, are you having tender feelings for the fairer sex or …?" Li Rui smiled and said, "She's my old boss after all. Although we had a lot of conflicts because of work, she taught me a lot of things. It's reasonable for me to remember her favor. I hope Director Zhang can take care of her for my sake. "
In fact, since Feng Weidong fell from power, many people in the Municipal Water Conservancy Bureau had been eyeing Yuan Jingjing's position as the director of the flood prevention office. Several leaders of the bureau had also mentioned this to Zhang Jianshe, suggesting that Yuan Jingjing should be transferred to another department and replaced by their own people as the director. In theory, the director of the flood prevention office should be appointed by the flood prevention and drought relief leading group. But as one of the deputy leaders, Zhang Jianshe was the boss of the Water Conservancy Bureau, which was directly under the flood prevention office, he still had the power to change the director. He only needed to tell the main leaders of the flood prevention and drought relief leading group that Yuan Jingjing was no longer useful and needed to be replaced. The big leaders naturally didn't care who would be the director. As long as the work was done well, they would nod and agree.
