Li Jing said bitterly: "Who said it wasn't, but then again, there was a criminal case of group beating at the expo, which has something to do with the legal system, alas, why is it so inch, it's really unlucky." That reporter is also, taking advantage of the fire to rob and fall into the well, it is really hateful, listening to Jin Rui, that reporter's face is very ugly, and he clearly wants to slander the city......"

Li Rui was talking to Li Jing, and Song Chaoyang walked out of the room, going back to Qingyang Hotel to drink medicine and eat.

Li Rui put down his mobile phone, covered the microphone, and said to him: "Boss, you and the secretary general should go to the hotel for dinner first, I am talking to Mayor Li Jing and Mayor Li on the phone, something happened at the expo, I will help her deal with it first, and I will report to you when I go back later." Song Chaoyang's face turned pale, and he said, "What's the matter, is it serious?" Li Rui said with a smile: "It's not too serious, it should be settled." ”

Song Chaoyang nodded, didn't ask more, and walked out.

Li Rui put the phone back to his ear and said, "I'll contact Minister Zheng now, and you wait for my news." Li Jing said: "Okay, I'm sorry for you." Li Rui feigned anger and said: "Isn't it sister and brother, is it interesting to say this?" Li Jing smiled awkwardly: "I'm not too anxious, okay, I'm not polite to you, you can quickly help me contact Minister Zheng." ”

Hanging up the phone, Li Rui first tried to call Zheng Zijuan's mobile phone, and called once, but sure enough, he couldn't get through, and said where did she go? Is it an underground parking lot or a mountainous area? Why does the mobile phone have no signal? But he didn't give up, and called Ji Xiaojia instead. Ji Xiaojia's mobile phone is no problem, just dial it up.

Li Rui was overjoyed, and as soon as he came up, he asked, "Where is Minister Zheng?" Ji Xiaojia said ignorantly: "I don't know." Li Rui was full of joy and froze, and scolded in a lost voice: "Damn, how could you not know?" Ji Xiaojia said aggrievedly: "Why do I have to know? Although I am her secretary, I am not by her side all the time, she didn't go to work today, so I will have a holiday." Li Rui thought for a while and asked, "You must have her landline number at home, you can call her and see if you can find her." Ji Xiaojia asked: "What's wrong, what are you looking for her?" Li Rui said: "I don't have time to tell you now, you call first." ”

Ji Xiaojia snorted stupidly and hung up the phone.

Li Rui waited for less than a minute, and the mobile phone came, and when he saw that Zheng Zijuan had dialed it with his mobile phone, he was very happy and hurriedly answered.

Zheng Zijuan said happily: "Xiao Rui, I heard Xiao Jia say that you are looking for me?" Li Rui sighed: "Oh, my old sister, where did you go, why can't the phone get through?" Zheng Zijuan wondered: "Can't get through?" I didn't go anywhere, I came to the house of the Standing Committee Building...... Li Rui didn't have time to talk nonsense to her, and said: "It's urgent to find you, it's Li Jing and Mayor Li from the city government who are looking for you......" said and told her about Li Jing's experience and demands.

After hearing this, Zheng Zijuan sneered and said: "That reporter from the Provincial Legal Daily has drunk too much water and his brain is in water, and he dares to blackmail and threaten the municipal government? If you tell Li Jing, just say that I said it, ignore him, and write whatever he wants, no matter how beautiful and fancy he writes, he will not be able to pass the examination of the editor-in-chief! This cultural expo is sponsored by the Qingyang City Government, and no media organization in the province will openly publish any article that slanders, belittles, exposes, or discredits the Cultural Expo and the Qingyang City Government. He has the courage to mess around, but the editor-in-chief will not accompany him to mess around, unless the entire Provincial Legal Daily is targeting our Qingyang City, but this is simply impossible. ”

After hearing this, Li Rui thought for a while and said, "In that case, how can that reporter have so much audacity to blackmail us? If he said that he was for hush money, Mayor Li had already promised to give it to him, and he didn't say that it was too little, but he didn't want to." Could it be that the leader of the newspaper office instructed him to do this? When did our Qingyang City offend the people of the Provincial Legal Daily before?"

Zheng Zijuan smiled: "Don't think nonsense, there has never been a thing." In my opinion, the reporter either drank too much, took the wrong medicine, or was a liar. You tell Mayor Li that there will be nothing going on, let her put a hundred hearts ......" Speaking of this, he suddenly realized something, and said: "Hey, why are you so close to Li Jing? If she wants to find me, why do you want to go through you? What is your relationship with her?"

Li Rui was secretly amused, and said in his heart that this sister was no less sensitive than Qingman, and she drank vinegar at every turn, but it was not necessary at all, so she listened to no one outside the door, and whispered: "What do you think I can do with her?" Zheng Zijuan said angrily: "Who knows, anyway, I think you are quite affectionate." Alas, I said that someone hasn't been paying much attention to me lately, and he dared to get together with the beautiful deputy mayor. Li Rui was angry and funny, and lowered his voice and said: "Don't talk nonsense, I have a very pure relationship with her as a leader and a subordinate, not as impure as I am with someone." Zheng Zijuan asked, "Who are you not pure?" Li Rui said: "Well, in fact, if you really want to talk about it, it is quite pure." Zheng Zijuan smiled: "Don't be poor, hurry up and get busy, let's talk about it another day." ”

Li Rui hung up the phone, and was about to call Li Jing, but received a call from her, which seemed to show her anxiety, and hurriedly answered, and said: "It's okay, I've already ......" Before the words were finished, Li Jing intercepted: "How do you know it's okay? Li Rui shouted: "Ah, how did you solve it?" Li Jing said: "I gave the reporter 100,000 yuan in hush money, and he promised not to publish a report on this matter." Li Rui was taken aback and said, "100,000 yuan?" Li Jing sighed: "Otherwise, what else? I was afraid that this matter would bring all kinds of negative effects and turn good things into bad things, so I asked people to continue negotiations with the reporter, and finally the reporter asked for 100,000 yuan, and the matter was settled." ”

Li Rui was surprised and inexplicable, and said: "But Minister Zheng just told me that he didn't need to pay attention to the reporter at all, even if he went back to write the manuscript, he wouldn't be able to pass the censorship, let alone publish it in the newspapers. Li Jing was taken aback and said, "What? Minister Zheng meant that? She said it herself, don't pay attention to the reporter?" Li Rui said: "Yes, don't pay attention to him at all, no matter how he shouts, how can you give him 100,000 yuan......? Why don't you wait for me to go down, I just called Minister Zheng, and after such a while, you will send 100,000 yuan out?" Li Jing was shocked and remorseful, very ashamed, and stammered: "That...... So now I'm ...... What should I do?" Li Rui said: "Hurry up and get the 100,000 yuan back, do you still need to ask?"

The phone hung up suddenly, Li Rui seemed to be able to see Li Jing's embarrassed round face through the signal network, and sighed secretly in her heart, this sister seems to be a very calm and experienced leader, how to do things so impatient and panicked, saying that she would give the other party 100,000 yuan in minutes, which is more efficient than calling herself, alas, it seems that the 100,000 yuan is not her own, so it is not distressing to give it out.

"Well, what's this called?!"

He sighed, put away his mobile phone, took his briefcase, and hurried downstairs to Qingyang Hotel.

When I found the two leaders of Song Chaoyang and Du Minsheng, the two had just finished ordering food and were chatting, and when they saw him coming, Song Chaoyang asked about Li Jing just now. Li Rui talked about the whole thing and the latest changes.

Song Chaoyang was also slightly surprised when he heard this, and said, "I gave the reporter 100,000 yuan?" Du Minsheng commented: "She may also be afraid of causing all kinds of negative impacts, but the reporter from that province is really bold and dares to blackmail a local government." Song Chaoyang thought for a while, and said: "Zheng Zijuan has already said that he can ignore the reporter at all, the Provincial Legal Daily will definitely not publish his manuscript, and I think he himself should understand this.

Li Rui and Du Minsheng both shook their heads slowly, naturally unable to figure out the truth inside.

After dinner, Du Minsheng went home directly from the hotel to rest, and Song Chaoyang also went back to the room in the VIP building.

Li Rui walked out of the hotel, wondering whether to call Zhang Mingfang, director of the Municipal Cultural Relics Bureau, out now and transfer the 100,000 yuan given by Xu Da to her, or wait to meet her later. When he went to work today, he put the 100,000 yuan given by Xu Da into his briefcase, although 100,000 yuan is not much, but it is always weighed in the bag, and it is quite awkward to carry, so it is better to send it out as soon as possible.

He was hesitating, and suddenly saw a golden Audi Q5 slowly coming, stopping at the door of the main building of Qingyang Hotel. Dong Jieyu didn't see him, and after getting out of the car, she hurried to the hotel. Li Rui raised his hand to stop her, but before she could exit, the phone rang first, so she could only give up, took out her mobile phone and saw that it was Li Jing calling, and she hurriedly answered.

"It's over, Xiao Rui, I was deceived, the reporter ran away, he ran away when he got the money, and now I can't find him at all......"

As soon as the phone was connected, Li Jing's frightened words rang on the other end.

Li Rui's face changed, and he said, "What? Did you run away? Do you confirm that he ran away, not going out to eat or run errands?" Li Jing cried and said: "It's really running, I have asked Jin Rui to call the Provincial Legal Daily, and confirm with them whether they sent a reporter to Qingyang, and the other party said that no reporter was sent to Qingyang for an interview." That reporter is a fake, a big liar!"
