Li Rui was not surprised at all by this result, because he had just heard Xu Da's analysis not long ago -- there was such a possibility: the reason why this Japanese enterprise delegation was sent from Shanghai to Qingyang, a small city in the countryside, was to cover the female spy who had committed suicide to escape from Shanghai and avoid arrest by the Shanghai police and security departments. If this is the case, the purpose of the inspection group is to cover up the female spy, so how can they really consider the matter of investment? They have only been acting in Qingyang for two and a half days, and they have acted very realistically, not only deceiving Vice Governor Wen Hanqing, but also deceiving Song Chaoyang and Yu Heping, city leaders, into putting in a lot of effort.

Looking at the distressed appearance of his own boss, Li Rui felt some sympathy for him, and what about him as the secretary of the municipal party committee? Although in the eyes of ordinary people, he is a great leader who stands high above, but as the helmsman of a prefecture-level city, in order to develop the economy, to create political achievements, and for his own development, he has to look at the faces of those so-called foreign-funded entrepreneurs, and even grovel and flatter.

Li Rui didn't tell Song Chaoyang about the trickiness in this matter, because he had promised Xu Da to keep it secret, and secondly, he didn't dare to be sure that the facts were really like this, so he comforted the boss and said: "You have paid and worked hard, you are worthy of yourself, the position of the secretary of the municipal party committee, and even more worthy of the six million people of Qingyang, it is enough, as for the result, you don't have to care." It is gratifying to get it, but it is also worry-free. ”

Song Chaoyang nodded and said, "Xiao Rui, you are right to persuade me, I really don't have to care, the key is that it's useless to care, hehe." Come in and tell me how the two days of training in Dongzhou went. ”

Li Rui walked into his office with him and talked about the training in Dongzhou two days ago, of course, only about the training, not about the personal relationship with Wu Nan.

Song Chaoyang didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and asked, "Did the gift go to Mayor Wu?"

Li Rui then understood, he didn't care about his training at all, he only cared about Wu Nan, thinking that Wu Nan didn't mean anything to him at all, he was secretly funny in his heart, but it was not easy to say it in person, so he could only bury it deep in his heart, but because of this, he had a sense of superiority, and said that the beautiful mayor you miss is not a bird at all, but likes your secretary and me.

Of course, Li Rui also knew that this idea was extremely dangerous, so he hurriedly stifled it in his mind, and replied solemnly: "It's delivered." Song Chaoyang asked a little excitedly: "Oh, did she say anything after accepting it?" Li Rui said cautiously: "Mayor Wu didn't say anything else, but politely expressed his gratitude, and asked me to say thank you." Song Chaoyang wilted all of a sudden, but he still didn't give up and asked, "Didn't she let you bring me a gift when you left?" Li Rui shook his head.

Song Chaoyang has completely understood so far that Wu Nan has no intention of herself, otherwise if she feels a little bit about herself, she will not let Li Rui come back empty-handed, thinking about this clearly, she is quite frustrated.

As the secretary of the municipal party committee, of course, he will not worry about the lack of women around him, but at his level, he usually comes into contact with women at a lower level than him in his work and life, such as Guo Xiaohe, an ordinary cadre of the Municipal Education Bureau who he met before, and Zhang Wei, director of the office of the Shuanghe County Investment Promotion Bureau.

And Wu Nan is very different from the women he came into contact with: Wu Nan is of the same level as him, and the difference is not half a point, the two are equal; the two used to be classmates in the party school, and they have the relationship of old classmates, and conquering the old classmates is very interesting in itself; Wu Nan has a noble identity and a demure temperament, not a woman who can be easily conquered; and finally a point, even if he is lucky enough to conquer Wu Nan, Wu Nan will not meet him, he needs to carefully guard this extramarital relationship, which is also challenging, and can add countless fun to the boring work and life。

It is precisely because of this that he is extremely tempted by Wu Nan, and has put his mind into practical action many times, but unfortunately all the temptations have failed, and today he has completely seen the cold and ruthless heart of the other party. Now, he can only devour this self-brewed bitter fruit alone.

"Alright, you go back and get busy. ”

Song Chaoyang waved his hand excitedly, looking depressed like an unlucky thief who stole chickens and rice.

That night, Song Chaoyang got off work early, perhaps because he was in a bad mood.

In the past, Li Rui found that he was in a bad mood, and he would try his best to adjust his mood, for example, he had asked the beautiful and generous director of the Municipal Cultural Relics Bureau Zhang Mingfang to have dinner with him, but tonight, Li Rui himself was not in a good mood, and he was anxious to visit the injured Duan Xiaoqian, so he couldn't take care of him at all, so he didn't arrange any evening activities for him, and after sending him to Qingyang Hotel, he said goodbye, took a taxi, and went straight to the city's first hospital.

After rushing to the hospital, Li Ruijing walked to the inpatient building, he didn't know Duan Xiaoqian's ward number, but this was not a problem, he could ask the doctor and nurse on duty when he went in.

Sure enough, he went upstairs to find the general service window on the first floor and inquired, and the little nurse sitting inside found Duan Xiaoqian's bed and floor through the patient information registered in the management system in the computer. After thanking the other party, he took the elevator to the tenth ward, which is located on the tenth floor, that is, the general outpatient ward.

Walking out of the elevator, Li Rui smelled the smell of disinfectant water and the smell of various medicines wafting in the air, which made people sober at the same time, and at the same time, he gave birth to a distant palpitation in his heart, and he hated never to come here, whether it was because of himself or to visit the patient.

He walked into the ward, observing the direction of the bed number on the wall, all the way to the depths of the corridor, but he soon found that he didn't need to look for it at all, because someone not far in front of him had already pointed out the location to him, and the other party was not a person, but a group of people. More precisely, a group of policemen. There were about a dozen of them, and they didn't know if they had already visited Duan Xiaoqian, or if they hadn't had time to go in yet, so they were all piled up at the door of the ward with the sign of "Old Cadre Ward". Although there were many people, no one was talking nonsense, and the atmosphere was quiet and a little heavy.

If Li Rui hadn't known that Duan Xiaoqian's life was not in danger, now that he saw this scene, he would have to be misunderstood by them. He took a deep breath and walked briskly, quickly to the group of policemen. When he got closer, he also found that there were actually a few familiar faces in the crowd, led by his former "rival in love" and Duan Xiaoqian's suitor Ye Shaoqiu, and a fat man standing next to Ye Shaoqiu was the fat policeman who had gone to the door of his community to spy on him.

Seeing the two of them, Li Rui just picked his eyelids, and his mood did not fluctuate, as if he saw two irrelevant people, he coughed lightly and asked loudly: "Excuse me, is this Duan Xiaoqian's ward?"

The dozen or so policemen all looked at him when they heard this, but Ye Shaoqiu's face changed drastically when he saw him, and his eyes spewed out resentful flames, and he said angrily: "What are you doing here?"

A leader-like person among the police nodded and said, "Yes, Duan Xiaoqian lives here, are you?"

Li Rui smiled kindly at him and said, "I am a friend of Duan Xiaoqian, and I came to visit her." "I secretly said in my heart that I was lucky, thanks to the fact that I didn't buy flowers for Duan Xiaoqian, otherwise it would be difficult to pass this level at the moment.

The leader said: "Oh, it turned out to be visiting Xiaoduan, but you have to wait a while, the leader of our bureau is inside." ”

Li Rui asked casually, "I don't know which director is inside?"

The leader gave him a look of disgust, as if complaining that he shouldn't have asked the question.

Next to him, Ye Shaoqiu snorted angrily: "Which director can you also ask, what's the matter with you?"

Li Rui didn't look at him, and asked the leader: "I don't know if it's Director Zhou Yuansong, Director Wang Gangwang, or Director Ji Feiji?"

The leader was startled, his face changed slightly, and he said in his heart Who is this kid, how can he call out so many bureau leaders in one breath? Don't dare to underestimate him anymore, he said, "It's Director Ji." ”

Li Rui nodded, Duan Xiaoqian is a member of the public security detachment, and Ji Fei is in charge of public security, which is equivalent to saying that Duan Xiaoqian is his soldier, and the soldiers under him were injured, of course the leader has to come to visit, in this regard, the domestic leaders are still doing a very good job, they are very humane, and said: "Okay, I'll go in and have a look." ”

The leader subconsciously wanted to stop him, but thinking that he could say the names of the three bureau chiefs, it was estimated that the origin would not be too small, so he dodged and made way for him, thinking to himself, even if he had no origin, after breaking in, the Discipline Bureau would be angry and mad, and he could only be mad with him, and he had no responsibility for himself.

Li Rui said thank you to him, walked to the door, pushed the door and walked inside.

Although Ye Shaoqiu behaved fiercely and shouted at him twice, he also knew his identity, so he didn't dare to really call him face to face, but just watched him enter the house with resentment.

As soon as Li Rui entered the room, he alarmed everyone in the ward. There were a total of five people in the ward, a doctor and a nurse, Duan Xiaoqian was lying on the bed, her father Cao Quan was standing next to her, and Ji Fei was sitting next to Cao Quan.

When the five people saw Li Rui come in, they behaved differently. The doctor and the nurse didn't know Li Rui, and they didn't think much when they saw him come in, but when he came to visit Duan Xiaoqian, Duan Xiaoqian's pale and bitter face showed a touch of redness when he came in, and his eyes were a little more angry; Cao Quan was a little surprised and turned to meet him; Ji Fei smiled slightly and got up from the stool.
