After getting off work at noon, Song Chaoyang called Xiao Dawei, secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, Zheng Zijuan, director of the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee, and Du Minsheng, secretary general of the Municipal Party Committee, together and invited them to eat in the restaurant of Qingyang Hotel.

Xiao Dawei, Zheng Zijuan, and Du Minsheng saw that he had just put forward this idea at the standing committee of the municipal party committee in the morning, and said again at lunchtime, which was enough to show how much he attached importance to this project, and the leaders attached great importance to it, and of course they should attach even more importance to it as a subordinate, so the three of them each put forward good opinions and suggestions.

Li Rui was fortunate to stay at the banquet, serving the four leaders, such as serving a cup of tea and pouring water, while listening to the high opinions of several leaders. He had never been exposed to urban construction and development before, but now he listened attentively to the dialogue between these leaders, and felt that he had not only opened up a new world in front of his eyes, but also benefited a lot.

He also understood a truth, why the leading secretary is always promoted very quickly, and will always be reused, because in the process of serving the leader, the secretary will be exposed to the leader's way of doing things, governing skills, and governance skills, and some secretaries will also get the leader's words and deeds, and those who can become leaders in the country have great ability, no matter what ability. The secretary follows the leader, over time, unintentionally or intentionally will learn all aspects of the leadership of the ability, do not need to learn ten, can learn five or six percent, it is already very remarkable, down to the grassroots level, the learning to show out, create political achievements are not a problem, with political achievements, of course, it is much easier. This also echoes the old saying, there are no weak soldiers under a strong general. From this point of view, the leader and the secretary have a teacher-student friendship in addition to the relationship between superiors and subordinates.

After lunch, the four leaders said goodbye in the restaurant and left. Song Chaoyang returned to his room in the VIP building, planning to take a lunch break. Li Rui also wanted to find a room in the VIP building to rest for a while, but when he went downstairs, he didn't know how to think of Dong Jieyu, and when he thought of her heart, he walked out of the VIP building and walked to the main building in front.

He entered through the back door of the main building, came to the east-west corridor, looked at no one on the left and right, and then strode towards Dong Jieyu's office, came to the door, raised his hand and knocked on the door.

Dong Jieyu's voice soon sounded inside: "Come in!"

Li Rui pushed the door and entered, entered the house, and while closing the door with his backhand, he also saw Dong Jieyu, Yiren was sitting at the desk and busy, at this time she also looked over, the two glanced at each other, Li Rui smiled lovingly, and Yiren was slightly surprised.

"Why are you here?"

Dong Jieyu asked in surprise, and after speaking, the person also stood up.

Li Rui walked to the table and said with a smile: "I miss my wife, so I'll come and have a look." Dong Jieyu walked around the desk and walked to the coffee table to make tea for him, but after thinking about it, she stopped and said, "If you want to drink water, drink it from my cup, my freshly brewed tea." Li Rui said: "I just finished eating, drank several bowls of soup, and I am not thirsty." Why are you still busy at noon? Take a rest when you should take a break, the revolutionary work can never be done, you must cherish your body, the body is the capital of the revolution. Dong Jieyu flattened her mouth and said, "You drank too much at noon today, why do you talk so much?" Li Rui smiled: "I didn't touch a drop of wine." As she spoke, she stepped into her desk and sat down in her chair, leaning back comfortably and swaying.

Dong Jieyu walked up to him and said, "You came just in time, I have something to look for you." Li Rui turned the chair slightly, turned to her, stretched out his left arm, gently grabbed her waist, and hugged her forward. Dong Jieyu was hugged by him and involuntarily went into his arms, a blush crossed her pretty face, and she said angrily: "I know that you didn't have a good heart when you came." As he spoke, he was already sitting on his lap, and his upper body was leaning on her arms. Li Rui wrapped his arms around her thin waist, leaned his mouth to her jade neck and kissed her lightly, and sighed: "What are you doing when you are so tall, I can't kiss your face." Dong Jieyu said funny: "Who made you short? If you are 1.9 meters tall, you won't be able to kiss my face?" Li Rui laughed twice and said, "You just said that you had something to look for me, what's the matter?"

Dong Jieyu turned her head to look at him and told the story. It turned out that Dong Jieyu's brother Dong Jinli was not satisfied with the current police equipment business and wanted to make the business bigger and wider, so he inquired everywhere about projects and projects that could make money. At a banquet, he happened to hear from a friend that the Municipal Water Conservancy Bureau wants to clean up the moat that has dried up in the urban area and the Sangbai River that runs through the city from northwest to southeast, and has begun to bid for this, and the moat cleaning project has been completed by bidding, and it is said that the project contractor can make a net profit of at least two million in this project, and the dredging and treatment project of the Sangbai River (in the urban area), which is longer than the moat and has a larger basin area, will obviously have greater profits.

When Dong Jinli heard about this, he was moved, and racked his brains to win the bid for the Sangbai River channel improvement and clean-up project. He does not have a construction company with corresponding qualifications, not even a construction team, but at present, these are not a problem, as long as you can get the bid, these problems are trivial, the most unfortunate, and you can secretly outsource the project to a third party, just make less money. With this intention in mind, Dong Jinli wanted to win the bid in one fell swoop. He also knows that if he wants to win this standard, he does not look at his strength, qualifications or experience, but only on his connections and money. As long as you have connections, you can get to know the person in charge of the bidding party, and if you have money to open the way, the bid can be won.

It's a pity that he planned very well, but he was suffering from the fact that none of the contacts in his hands could lead to the bidding party of the Municipal Water Conservancy Bureau. Later, he didn't know where to find out that Li Rui was born in the Municipal Water Conservancy Bureau, so he hit Li Rui with the idea. He believes that, first of all, the Municipal Water Conservancy Bureau is Li Rui's hometown, and there is no one more familiar with the leading cadres at all levels of the Municipal Water Conservancy Bureau than Li Rui; second, now that Li Rui is the first secretary of the Municipal Party Committee and a big celebrity in the Qingyang officialdom, what he says will definitely work, and some people will listen to it, not to mention that it is said to the leading cadres in his hometown, which can only be more efficient and higher; finally, his friendship with Li Rui is barely good, and then there is his sister Dong Jieyu's friendship with Li Rui, and he will definitely not refuse if he asks him to help him with this favor.

Because of these considerations, Dong Jinli decided to ask Li Rui to help with this. However, he was more cautious, for fear that he would come forward to Li Rui and say that he would refuse this matter, so there would be no room for maneuver, so he had an idea and asked his sister Dong Jieyu to come forward on his behalf, first take a breath with Li Rui, and see what he meant. Therefore, he told his sister Dong Jieyu about it, and asked her sister to test Li Rui's tone at the right time. Dong Jieyu did the same, and seeing that Li Rui took the initiative to come to the door, she told him about it.

Li Rui was rarely able to help Dong Jieyu once, and now seeing her asking for help for her brother Dong Jinli, she agreed without thinking about it: "Don't worry, wife, I may have to consider whether to help other people, my brother-in-law's help, then I have to agree to anything." Dong Jieyu knew that he agreed so happily for his own sake, and felt that she had a good face, so she was happy, hugged his neck affectionately, and said, "Then you just agreed." Li Rui nodded and said, "I promised to help to help, but ugly words have to be said in front." First, I can only help him speak, or introduce him to the person in charge of the project in the bureau, but I can't guarantee whether he can win the bid; second, even if he wins the bid, he can't just patronize and make money, and he must pay attention to quality. As for the other things in the project, I don't know, and I don't want to care, I only focus on the quality of the project. Otherwise, if something goes wrong in the future, no one will be able to escape. ”

Dong Jieyu said: "Okay, I understand, I will relay this to my brother word for word." How sure do you think you are that you will help him get this bid?" Li Rui said smugly: "Zhang Jianjian, director of the Water Conservancy Bureau, is a good friend with me, and he should consider it when I speak." Speaking of which, who is allowed to do this project, if he lets my friend do it, he can still get personal favors from me, why not do it?" Dong Jieyu was stunned for a moment, and said: "I remember that my brother seems to have said that this project is not under the direct management of the director, and it cannot reach his level, and it is said that the water conservancy project management committee is in charge." When Li Rui heard this, he talked eloquently and said: "I know that the water conservancy project management committee you are talking about is co-located with the office of the Water Conservancy Bureau, and the two departments are two brands and one team, and the director of the committee is concurrently served by the director ......of the office."

When he said this, he suddenly thought of something, and jumped up from his chair.

Dong Jieyu almost didn't fall off him, startled, and said angrily: "Oh, what are you doing?" Li Rui's face was flustered, his eyes were confused, and he muttered half-loudly: "It's over, I don't seem to be able to help your brother, if this project is really in charge of the 'water conservancy project management committee', I'm afraid I won't be able to speak, I am a mortal enemy with the director of this management committee." Dong Jieyu was surprised and said, "Won't it?" Li Rui nodded and said: "The director of this management committee is concurrently served by the director of the bureau office, and the director of the bureau office is called Shi Dalin, who is my sworn enemy, and he will definitely not listen to me." Even if I tell Director Zhang Jianjian, when it comes to the specific implementation, I will be rejected by the surname Shi. Dong Jieyu asked curiously: "How did you make a feud with him? Because of work or what?" Li Rui naturally wouldn't tell her, it was because of the enmity between the eldest apprentice Jiang Wei and Shi Dalin, and said with a wry smile: "It's hard to say." ”
