Lu Qingman said: "Don't bother, my dad has to drink tea when he comes, hehe, you wait, it's okay right away." If you're okay, just walk around the house and take a tour, hehe. ”

Li Ruicai was not in the mood to visit her house, and he had some subconscious fear of the upcoming Father Li. He stood at the dining table and watched Lu Qingman making tea in the kitchen, wanting to ask about Li's father's situation so that he could fight a "prepared battle," but he didn't know what to ask.

Just then, there was a knock on the door. Lu Qingman shouted: "My dad is here, I can't let go of my hands, you go and help me open the door." ”

Li Rui responded happily, walked to the door with a smile on his face, opened the door, and when he saw the man standing outside the door, the whole person was petrified.

"Governor Lu!?"

These words rolled in his stomach, but he could not say anything, for his mouth was frozen.

Standing outside the door was Lu Zhouxing.

Lu Zhouxing didn't seem to be surprised to see him, smiled playfully, coughed, and said, "You are Li Rui and Xiao Li from Qingyang, right?" Li Rui seemed to see him give himself a look, but he didn't, suspecting that he was dazzled, and seeing him pretending not to know himself, he also followed his tone and said: "Yes, I am, uncle...... Hello uncle, please ...... Come in. ”

He got out of the way, let Lu Zhouxing in, and then closed the door.

Lu Qingman shouted in the kitchen: "Dad, you sit down for a while, I'll make tea." Lu Zhouxing smiled: "Don't be in a hurry, brew slowly." I'll talk to you first. After speaking, he greeted Li Rui and said, "Xiao Li, come, let's go inside and have a good talk." ”

Li Rui didn't dare to listen, and followed him to the inside.

Lu Qingman saw that his father was about to talk to Li Rui when he first came, he was funny, nervous, and a little excited, looking at the direction where the two were leaving, and forgot to make tea.

Lu Zhouxing took Li Rui to a study and closed the door. In this process, Li Rui just looked at him stupidly, and he couldn't believe that all this was true.

Lu Zhouxing frowned and said: "I ask you a few questions, you must answer truthfully, if you dare to deceive me, you will bear the consequences." ”

Although the words were not very fierce, Li Rui still trembled when he heard it, walked on thin ice, and stammered: "Lu ...... Governor Lu, you ...... You ask, I'...... I promise not to lie. Lu Zhouxing said: "Don't call me Governor Lu here. Li Rui only felt a layer of cold sweat on his back, and nodded again and again, only to feel that he couldn't breathe.

Lu Zhouxing raised his hand, frowned, and asked in a profound tone: "I heard Manman say, you were introduced to her by her uncle?" Li Rui nodded again and again, like a chicken eating rice, and said: "It's true, it was the secretary general who matched us." I...... Before this, I had never seen Qingman. Lu Zhouxing nodded, his face was better, and he asked again: "What did Du Minsheng tell you?" Li Rui thought about it carefully and said, "He didn't seem to say anything to me, everything was a hint." Later, when I asked me to send Qingman back to the provincial capital, I learned that he was trying to match the two of us. ”

Lu Zhouxing kept a calm face and did not speak.

Poor Li Rui was so frightened that he was like an orphan who had lost his parents, and in the face of great pressure, there was no one to share it for him, which made him tremble, and it was almost like dying.

Lu Zhouxing suddenly asked again: "Before this, did you know that Manman's father was me?" Li Rui shook his head blankly and said, "I don't know, I don't even know if I am killed." I knew that the Secretary-General was Qingman's uncle. Lu Zhouxing asked again: "Then do you like Qingman?" Li Rui nodded and said: "I like it, I like it very much, although I don't have much time to date, but I ......" Lu Zhouxing waved his hand and said: "Enough!" Li Rui said stupidly: "Ah?" Lu Zhouxing said coldly: "Manman's first marriage was very unhappy, and I am mainly responsible for it." Therefore, for her marriage, I am bound to give her strict checks, and strive to be the last marriage in her life. ”

Li Rui's heart was cold when he heard this, and he couldn't hear Lu Zhouxing's disgust for himself at this time, then he was a fool, and he didn't know why he suddenly hated himself, was it because he broke his personal relationship with Bai Bing? However, he was innocent with Bai Bing, and he had no personal relationship at all.

Lu Zhouxing continued: "I don't have any opinion on you as a person, on the contrary, I still admire you. But, for your profession, I'm a hundred dislikes. I have been a secretary to a leader, and I know what it is like to be a secretary, and I know even more about being a wife to a secretary. You yourself say, if Manman marries you, will you be able to give her happiness?"

Li Rui wilted when he heard this, yes, he accompanied Song Chaoyang in front of the saddle all day long, watched the moon leave home in the morning, stepped on the stars and came back at night, and there was not much leisure time on weekends, although it was beautiful on the surface, he took too little care of his family. If Lu Qingman really marries him, he will definitely not be happy. Thinking of this, I also understood what Lu Zhouxing meant, in fact, let alone him, even if it was him, even if he was replaced by himself, he would not agree to marry his daughter to a secretary who was away from home all day.

He shook his head in frustration and sighed, "I was wrong. ”

Lu Zhouxing looked at him and asked half-loudly, "Do you know what is wrong?" Li Rui looked up at him boldly, but saw that his eyebrows showed a little disappointment, and he wondered in his heart, didn't he just want to give up pursuing his daughter, he didn't want to give up and could only give up, why was he disappointed? After thinking about it, he suddenly shouted happily and said, "Governor Lu, I'm not wrong, and if you want to be wrong, you will be wrong first." Lu Zhouxing laughed when he heard this, and asked with interest: "You are right, but I am wrong?" If you can't say it today, you'll be miserable. Li Rui said: "As you just said, you also worked as a secretary for the leader, but you are now the second head of the provincial government." I remember Qingman also said that if you hadn't been a secretary to the leader, you wouldn't have developed so quickly and so well. Similarly, I am now a secretary to Secretary Song, but I can't be a secretary for him for the rest of my life. One day, I will develop better, and then someone else will be my secretary. Anyway, as long as I don't work as a secretary, I will have a lot of time to spend with Qingman. Even when I was a secretary, I would try to spend as much time as possible with her and make her happy every day. Lu Zhouxing laughed twice and said, "It's too early to talk about this. Li Rui gritted his teeth and said, "Anyway, I really like Qingman." ”

Lu Zhouxing hung him for a while, then changed his words and said, "I'll ask you one last question." Li Rui said: "You ask." Lu Zhouxing said: "Now that you know that I am Manman's father, how do you feel?" Li Rui thought for a while and said, "Whether Qingman has a father who is the executive vice governor or not, it doesn't matter to me. I should like her or will I like her, after all, I will live with her and not with you. I also have the confidence to develop better and make her happier. I can only say that she has a father like you, and I will cherish her even more, because even if I don't admit it, I will be more or less touched by your light. Lu Zhouxing nodded and praised: "Honest enough!" Li Rui said humbly: "I don't dare to tell you nonsense." ”

Lu Zhouxing pondered for a moment and said, "Man Man called me here today to check for her. I am neither satisfied nor satisfied with your current situation. To be honest, with your current status, there is still a gap between Manman and Manman. Of course, I don't have a concept of court, but if you are not as good as your wife, how will you live in the future?" Li Rui said: "Governor Lu, I boldly say that Qingman can have now, on the one hand, she is really smart and diligent, practical and hard-working, and on the other hand, it also benefits from your father. However, this is again an objective fact. I don't have much to say, I'm just going to try and try to catch up with her as soon as possible. Well, in addition, I think that as long as two people truly love each other, identity or anything is not a problem. There are female presidents and queens in Europe, don't their husbands have a face?"

Lu Zhouxing nodded with satisfaction, and suddenly sighed again, his face showed an aging state, and said, "I told you so much, but it's useless." Li Rui was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't know what he meant. Lu Zhouxing explained: "Just now, you have a sentence that is right, you want to live with Manman, not with me. As long as Manman likes you, there's no reason for me to stop you. As a father, I can only try to make her happy. Li Rui was overjoyed and said: "Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, Qingman is really blessed to have a father like you." Lu Zhouxing frowned and said, "I heard that there is only one father in your family?" Li Rui nodded and said, "Therefore, I can better understand the painstaking work of being a father and the greatness of father's love." Lu Zhouxing said with a smile: "Don't slap my ass, it's useless to shoot, everything depends on how Man Man treats you." Okay, I'm fine, let's get out. ”

From beginning to end, he didn't mention Bai Bing's matter. Li Rui naturally didn't ask wisely, and he understood a little in his heart that although he abided by etiquette and did not have any relationship with Bai Bing, it was also a disgraceful thing for the two to get mixed up. With the current awkward relationship between the two, naturally they can't talk about it.

Back outside, Lu Qingman had already poured tea for the two, and when he saw the two coming out, he looked at Li Rui a little nervously. Li Rui didn't love her, nor did he hate her, and he said in his heart Lu Qingman, Lu Qingman, you are so cruel to me, you have hidden your father's identity from me for so long, and I was almost scared to death in your house today, you have to compensate me for my mental loss.

Lu Zhouxing said to Lu Qingman: "Xiao Li is good. Lu Qingman was very happy to hear this, and said, "Is it?" Lu Zhouxing said: "It's a pity ......" Lu Qingman suddenly raised his heart to his throat again, looked at him nervously, and asked: "What is a pity?" Seeing that she was so nervous, Lu Zhouxing sighed secretly and said with a smile: "It's a pity that my daughter always has to get married." ”
