The two chatted for a few words and hung up the phone.

Yu Hongwei raised his eyes to look at the dark night outside the window, and said in his heart, Xiao Rui, it's not that my brother didn't remind you, I really can't remind you, don't dare, this time the boss is really a little angry, you can bend for yourself.

After Li Rui got the reply, he immediately contacted Mayor Sun Yaozu. The call was answered by his secretary, and he was the first to tell him the news.

Sun Yaozu was overjoyed when he heard this, and said in his heart that Li Rui still had face, and if he made an appointment in person, he would eventually be able to make an appointment to meet, but he didn't know when it would be delayed, but he was able to make an appointment on the same day and meet the next day, tsk...... If you don't say it, the closest family is not the same, this is a bumpy truth, and under joy, he immediately ordered the secretary to prepare to rush to the provincial capital.

The next day, that is, Saturday, Li Rui accompanied his boss Song Chaoyang to work for more than half a day, and at two o'clock accompanied Sun Yaozu to set off and rushed to the provincial capital Lu Zhouxing's home to report work.

Before leaving, Song Chaoyang also assigned a task to Li Rui, to report his work on poverty alleviation to Lu Zhouxing, and see what the quasi-governor's attitude was.

At the same time, he also took into account that this time Li Rui accompanied Sun Yaozu to the provincial capital to report to work, and the time to meet with Lu Zhouxing was in the evening, and he would have dinner after the report, and it would be eight or nine o'clock after eating, and he might not be able to come back in the evening, so he told Li Rui that he could go back tomorrow, and he didn't have to rush back early tomorrow morning, he could go to see Lu Qingman, which was equivalent to giving him a day of "family leave".

Li Rui had some plans in his heart, thinking that if Sun Yaozu wanted to rush back to Qingyang in the evening, he would take his car back together, and if he didn't return in the evening, he would take this "family leave" again. After all, this is the first time to accompany the mayor to go out to work, and what kind of impression he leaves is very important, but he can't make him feel that he will be happy as soon as he arrives in the provincial capital, and he only has women in his eyes, and there is nothing serious about it, so he will be underestimated.

Sun Yaozu did not bring his secretary with him, considering that with Li Rui, the first secretary of the municipal party committee, and just observing his ability as the first secretary of Qingyang City, there was no need to bring his own secretary. What's more, this trip is just to go to Lu Zhouxing's house to report work and visit the dock, and there is not much need for the secretary to do, in this case, why do you take him to toss around?

Sun Yaozu was naturally in the No. 2 car of the Municipal Party Committee. Now, many provinces and cities have abolished the privileged bus license plate number and replaced it with an ordinary license plate that is not easily recognized. However, Qingyang City has been following the old bus license plate number naming rules.

The No. 2 car drove out of Qingyang City, got on the highway, and drove all the way to the provincial capital.

In the car, Sun Yaozu asked casually in a homely tone: "Xiao Rui, when will you marry Governor Lu's daughter?" Li Rui has always wondered very, very much, how did outsiders like Sun Yaozu know about his relationship with Qingman, and how did he know the father-daughter relationship between Qingman and Lu Zhouxing, but this kind of doubt can't be asked, and can only vaguely identify that it is "snakes have snake roads, rats have rat roads", at this moment, listening to him ask such a sensitive question, his heart was tight, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense, only said: " It's still early to get married, and we're still in the process of getting acquainted with each other. ”

Sun Yaozu watched him sit in the position where his secretary sat on weekdays, and was very envious of his good fortune, and secretly thought, if he climbed to a high branch like the Lu family at his age, how could his current achievements be more than a district mayor? Alas, it is really a destiny, and if he doesn't accept it, he pretended to be polite and said: "When you get married, you must tell me, and I will go and ask for a cup of wine to drink." ”

In his capacity, to say such approachable and self-defeating words, it stands to reason that Li Rui should be grateful, after all, not every mayor will attend the wedding banquet of lower-level leading cadres. However, Li Rui sensitively guessed that he might need such an opportunity to get closer to Lu Zhou, ostensibly to attend his wedding banquet, but in fact, the drunkard did not mean to drink, but he couldn't refuse, and said with a smile: "The mayor must be invited to come then." ”

After talking about these gossip, Sun Yaozu closed his eyes and rested for a while, suddenly thought of something, opened his eyes, and asked: "Xiao Rui, when you go to see Governor Lu, is there anything that needs to be paid attention to? Li Rui thought about it carefully and replied: "As far as I know, there should be nothing to pay attention to. Sun Yaozu thought to himself, you are his future uncle, of course there is nothing to pay special attention to in front of him, but my old grandson has a different identity from you, I went to see the superior leader, if some details are not taken into account and anger him, it is better not to see him, and asked without giving up: "Think about it carefully, I officially visited Governor Lu for the first time, and I really want to leave a good impression on him." ”

If he knew that he had left a bad impression on Lu Zhouxing, he probably wouldn't have asked this question.

Li Rui thought for a while, and said vaguely: "Oh, he likes calligraphy, and he usually likes to dance and ink." Sun Yaozu was overjoyed and said, "Look at it, look at it, I said let you think about it carefully, and sure enough, you can think of some details." Rui, these details may not be important to you, but to me, they are quite important. Think about it again, please, I'm going to invite you to dinner when I get back. Li Rui naturally would not be tempted by this kind of trick of small favors, thought for a while, and said: "I really can't think of it, I haven't seen him meet his subordinates, so I have no way of knowing his attitude." ”

Sun Yaozu gave up and closed his eyes again.

When the car arrived at Jingnan, the provincial capital, the hour hand was already pointing to four o'clock. Sun Yaozu couldn't calm down, opened his eyes, carefully thought about all the matters of meeting Lu Zhouxing, and went through all the words and deeds in his mind before he could be considered down-to-earth, and when he saw Li Rui in front of him, he asked: "Xiao Rui, what do you think of your boss's plan to carry out a poverty alleviation campaign?"

Li Rui's heart moved, how could this old guy suddenly ask himself this question, and let himself make an evaluation of what the boss did? Is this to sow discord, or is there another thought? Sun Yaozu laughed and said, "It's not for you to make an evaluation and talk about it casually." Let's see if I can help me change my mind. Li Rui said: "Then I'll talk about it casually, don't mind if it's wrong." I think the entry point found by Secretary Song is still excellent, urban development, all aspects are like a wooden barrel, not only to increase the height of the long board, but also to increase the height of the short board. If the height of the short board goes up, there will be more water. Secretary Song's poverty alleviation plan coincided with a salary increase at the bottom of the kettle, and he added a handful of firewood to the bottom of the pot. If this matter is done well, it will be a great achievement, and its achievement is no less than the major achievements made by our Qingyang City in attracting investment or industrial development. ”

Sun Yaozu snorted secretly in his heart, and said secretly, he is worthy of being Song Chaoyang's secretary, he speaks so dog-leggedly, and he looks like a loyal protector of the Lord, but you don't want to think about it, how easy is poverty alleviation so easy to do? Help and help, but help a large number of poverty alleviation cadres and township and village cadres have been supported, and how many of the real poor households have been supported? The water is too deep, you are still too stupid and naïve.

When he was about to arrive at the compound of the provincial party committee, Li Rui called Yu Hongwei. Yu Hongwei told him that he was waiting at the gate of the compound.

Hanging up the phone, Li Rui reported the situation to Sun Yaozu. Sun Yaozu heard that Secretary Lu Zhouxing was waiting outside in person, and he was both happy and depressed, happy that Lu Zhouxing really gave Li Rui face, and depressed that this was not in his own face.

The second car rushed to the gate of the provincial party committee compound, and Yu Hongwei was waiting there.

Li Rui went down to meet him, and the two shook hands affectionately. Sun Yaozu didn't dare to take the big one, so he took the initiative to get out of the car and talk to Yu Hongwei.

When he got out of the car, he happened to hear Yu Hongwei say to Li Rui: "...... I'm going to the award ceremony, and I'll be back in a while, and I'll take you to my home for a while. ”

Hearing this, Sun Yaozu didn't think much about it, what kind of person is the provincial governor, the second leader in the province, and the absolute feudal official. Such a person has almost no weekends and holidays, and something may suddenly happen at any time. Don't say it's him, even if he is entertaining guests sometimes, but suddenly there is an emergency, he can only say sorry to the guest and deal with the affairs first. No way, being a leader is not good about this.

He walked over with a smile, took the initiative to reach out and hand it to Yu Hongwei, and said, "This is Director Yu, hello, I am Sun Yaozu, the mayor of Qingyang." Since Governor Lu has something urgent to go out, let's wait at home first, it's okay, it's okay. Yu Hongwei glanced at the thin mayor, sneered in his heart, and said secretly, it's okay, you old boy, you have to suffer today, but with a smile on his face, he shook hands with him, and said: "Thank you Mayor Sun for your understanding, okay, then let's go in." As he spoke, he glanced at Li Rui with pity, didn't say anything, and went to the armed police at the door to say hello.

Yu Hongwei took the No. 2 car to the family building of the Standing Committee in the compound, parked it in the parking space in front of Lu Zhouxing's house, personally led the two to the living room of the house and sat down, and personally made tea for the two, after pouring water, looked at the watch, and said apologetically to the two: "You two sit down for a while, I will go to pick up Governor Lu back." After saying that, he smiled, turned and left.

Sun Yaozu nodded with satisfaction and said to Li Rui: "Director Yu is good, very enthusiastic. Li Rui smiled: "Yes, he is a warm-hearted person." ”

The two of them sat on the sofa and drank tea, chatting with each other, waiting for Yu Hongwei to pick up Lu Zhouxing back.

I waited for more than an hour, and it was more than half past six, but Yu Hongwei still didn't pick up Lu Zhouxing.
