When the shopping was over, Song Xue was already so moved, although she was not to the point of being grateful, she also remembered a great favor from Li Rui in her heart, and secretly thought about how to repay him.

After this shopping, the more than 2,000 yuan that Li Rui won was not used up, and there were still a few hundred left, looking at Song Xue's pretty and childish face, she suddenly remembered Du Weiyu who was the same age as her. If you talk about relationships, Du Weiyu's relationship with herself is obviously closer, her future cousin. I gave Song Xue, an outsider, a shopping spree, but didn't buy one for my cousin, this is going to get out, how can I have the face to see the Secretary-General? Anyway, I'm here, so let's buy another dress for Du Weiyu.

Du Weiyu is still in high school, and buying her clothes can neither be too mature nor too flamboyant, and she doesn't know her body number, so it's not easy to buy, so after thinking about it, let's buy her a pair of shoes too. I don't know her foot size? It's not simple, just ask Lu Qingman?

The answer was quickly asked, Du Weiyu's foot size was too small, and it was only thirty-six. If such a small foot continues to develop in the future, it will be almost the same, and if it does not grow again, it will be difficult to buy shoes in the future.

Lu Qingman kindly reminded on the phone: "If you want to buy her shoes, I support it, but it's best to let her try it for an interview, otherwise what if it's not suitable?" Li Rui said: "If it's not suitable, you will retreat." Lu Qingman smiled: "I don't care, you can buy it if you like." Hmph, I didn't think you would be able to buy people's hearts. ”

After hanging up the phone, Li Rui and Song Xue went to the Nike store in the mall and picked out a pair of pink sneakers for Du Weiyu.

Song Xue asked Li Rui to know that the owner of this pair of sneakers turned out to be his future wife and sister, and under this intimate relationship, he just bought her a pair of shoes, but bought himself a whole set of clothes, a sense of superiority arose, and his heart became more and more proud.

When the two returned home, Song Chaoyang and Sun Shuqin saw that the two of them had big bags and small bags, and they knew that the two had gone shopping. Waiting for Song Xue to explain the truth, Song Chaoyang had long known Li Rui's intentions, and he was not surprised at all, but Sun Shuqin was surprised, and she was very happy in her heart, but she complained about Li Rui.

The next day, which was also the last day of the 11th long holiday, Lao Zhou drove over from Qingyang in the morning, and together with Li Rui, the two sent Song Xue to the train station first, and then went to Lu Qingman's house to pick up Du Weiyu.

Li Rui took the shoes he bought for the two of them, and handed them over to the two of them after they met. Both of them tried, and they both fit well. Although Du Weiyu's pair is a little bigger, it doesn't prevent her from walking, and her feet are still developing and growing, which is not a problem.

Du Weiyu, like Song Xue, was very happy to receive this unexpected gift, but she and Li Rui were not outsiders in the end, and they would be relatives in the future, so they were grateful but not moved.

picked up Du Weiyu, and the three returned to Song's house, and Song Chaoyang didn't wait for lunch, so he got in the car and returned to Qingyang. After arriving in Qingyang, it was already past lunch time, and the four of them had lunch at Qingyang Hotel first. Subsequently, Lao Zhou drove Du Weiyu and Li Rui home respectively. The eleventh long holiday ended in this hurried rush.

On the first day after work, the people in the municipal organs were still indulging in the "holiday syndrome" and couldn't extricate themselves, but Li Rui was already busy to death. In the past few days of vacation, there has been a mountain of official documents and so much work that needs to be dealt with, and there is no chance to take a breath. Fortunately, there was master Yuan Xiaodi and colleagues in one place to help sort out and classify documents and share big and small affairs, which made him relaxed.

Before getting off work at noon, Li Rui asked Song Chaoyang for leave: "Boss, the son of Shi Guangming, director of the Municipal Radio and Television Bureau, is getting married today, and I will play a part in the past." When I was hospitalized with a cut some time ago, Director Shi came to see me, and this favor was not suitable. ”

Song Chaoyang is the secretary of the municipal party committee, but he is also a person, a living flesh and blood person, who does not live in a vacuum, and only respects and obeys the normal human relations in this kind of life, and will not object to rejection, of course, I will also consider it in my heart, Li Rui will not show his attitude as the secretary of the municipal party committee when he participated in this marriage in the past, and he only said four words: "Go quickly, go back quickly!"

Li Rui understood the deep meaning of his four words, not that he had any urgent and important work waiting for him to do, but that he was afraid that he would show up at the wedding banquet for too long and cause criticism, so he said seriously: "Don't worry, I'll go back when I get out." Song Chaoyang said: "When you come back, let's first have a preliminary discussion on how to achieve the party and government work together to carry out poverty alleviation work in the whole territory of Qingyang." ”

Theoretically, poverty alleviation is something that the government should worry about, but if Song Chaoyang wants to make achievements during his time in power, and wants to be recognized by the provincial secretary Huang Xinnian, he must make an article on the poverty alleviation work that he attaches importance to. Doing a good job in the work of helping the poor has won both the achievements of the government and the approval of the principal leaders of the provincial party committee, and what could be more pleasant than this? Therefore, we have no choice but to extend our hand to the government, but fortunately, poverty relief is a major national plan, and it is not indispensable for the party committee to attach importance to it and put forward its opinions.

Li Rui packed his things, went downstairs to the gate of the compound, stopped a taxi, and rushed to the hotel where Shi Guangming's son held his wedding, the "Gucheng Hotel".

In terms of fame, the most famous in Qingyang City is the Shengjing Hotel. If nothing else, a five-star rating alone is enough to impress other hotels in the city. With Shi Guangming's family situation, there was no problem at all to hold a wedding for his son and go to the Shengjing Hotel, but he gave up the Shengjing and chose the low-key and introverted four-star hotel Gucheng. Li Rui naturally knew what was going on. On the one hand, the Discipline Inspection Commission is lenient in its management and does not allow leading cadres to hold lavish banquets; on the other hand, the old people are old and sophisticated, and deliberately show a simple and low-key side.

This is where the wisdom of the cadres at the department level lies, and when the status, status, money, and power have reached a certain point, they will no longer be publicized, but will seek to be low-key and introverted. Unlike some village officials or some low-level figures (such as nouveau riche), after making some money through certain means, they are eager to show their wealth and connections on various occasions, and they have to be known by the world to be willing. As everyone knows, doing so will lead to disaster. Some time ago, a village official held a big banquet for his son's marriage, which was exposed by the media and investigated by the Discipline Inspection Commission, but he was found to have violated the law and discipline. Isn't that more than worth the cost?

Li Rui rushed to the door of the Gucheng Hotel, and someone greeted him, it was none other than Wang Wengui, the new director of the city TV station.

The director of the Tangtang City TV station personally greeted him at the door, except for Li Rui, who has this face, no one else will naturally have it.

The two shook hands, exchanged a few words, and entered the hotel with a smile, took the elevator to the sixth floor, and just got out of the elevator, they saw the table of accounting.

Li Rui walked over, took out the five hundred yuan that had been prepared a long time ago from his pocket, and put it on the table. The bookkeeper asks for his name and writes it down in the ledger. Someone next to him sang: "Li Rui, five hundred!" The tone was deliberately long, like a eunuch, and it sounded goosebumps.

For this kind of happy event, 500 is not too much, but it is not too much. Of course, Li Rui can give more, but it doesn't do any good except to make people think cranky, and it will be bad if people misunderstand that he is a big corrupt official. Anyway, friendship may not be reflected in the amount of money, so let it be with the flow. In fact, the standard of money for weddings and funerals in Qingyang City is generally 200 yuan. Five hundred dollars is already a lot.

In the grand ballroom, the wedding ceremony has ended, all the guests have been seated, eating and drinking, and the bride and groom are led by Shi Guangming and his wife to toast at each table. The hall was full of guests and friends, lively and lively, and it was very festive.

Wang Wengui asked Li Rui to stand at the door and wait for a while, and then go to inform Shi Guangming himself.

While Li Rui was waiting, he heard a woman at the table next to him whisper: "Director Shi still has a big face, and the famous host like Yao Xuefei came over to be the master of ceremonies." Another woman said, "You're not talking nonsense." No matter how famous Yao Xuefei is, she is also from the city TV station, and the city TV station is under the control of the Radio and Television Bureau, and Director Shi is also her leader, how dare she not come?" The previous woman realized: "Oh, I see. ”

When Li Rui heard that Yao Xuefei was also here, his heart was hot, and he looked around, but before he saw her, he saw a lot of people walking towards him, if it weren't for the smile on his face, he thought that a group of zombies had come over.

Among these people are people from the city TV station, such as Hong Qiang, deputy director of the station, Liu Anni, director of the advertising department, as well as district and county leaders, such as Sun Yaozu, the former secretary of the municipal government, Tian Weigang, the former deputy secretary general of the municipal government, and Tian Weigang, the current executive deputy head of the Shinan District, as well as leaders of municipal organs, such as Su Bo, director of the municipal cultural bureau. These people have different levels and different units, but they all have one thing in common, that is, they have all dealt with Li Rui, so when they saw him coming at this time, they all came up to say hello, which is also a sign of understanding etiquette.

These people all surrounded Li Rui and immediately surrounded Li Rui, and the water could not be leaked. Li Rui was flattered, with a humble smile on his face, and shook hands in order of everyone's rank, and those of the same rank were sorted by age and gender. After shaking hands with all these people, Wang Wengui also led Shi Guangming and his wife over.

These people all wanted to show their closeness to Li Rui, but it can be seen that when the host came over here, they could only retreat a little and let Shi Guangming talk to him first.
