Ma Ruoxi said: "I have no opinion on you personally, I have an opinion on the Qingyang official you represent, you have delayed our precious time, disrupted our schedule, and may not be able to go back today." Li Rui was slightly surprised, and said, "You still have to rush back to Beijing today?" Ma Ruoxi glanced at him and said, "That's what I planned, but now it seems that I can't do it." ”

Li Rui secretly thought that they were in a hurry to rush back to Beijing today, they should be thinking about taking a May Day holiday from tomorrow, if they wait until tomorrow to leave, they will delay the half-day holiday, although the half-day is not too long, but compared to the total of three days of the long holiday, it can also be called very precious, said: "I am also very sorry for this, but please rest assured with Reporter Zhang, I will arrange your accommodation." You stay overnight, and after you have rested, you will go back to Beijing tomorrow, and you are not in a hurry for this night, right?" Ma Ruoxi didn't say anything, and asked, "What about the villagers you are looking for for us to interview?"

Li Rui said: "I have already arranged it, and I will summon it soon, you wait a minute." Ma Ruoxi said: "I hope the person you found is not a cadre disguised as a villager." Li Rui laughed out loud and said, "How is it possible?!" Reporter Ma, I found that you are very distrustful of me, I don't know where I said the wrong thing, or where I did something wrong, how could it cause you to have such thoughts?"

As if she hadn't heard this, Ma Ruoxi turned her face away and looked at the villagers who were undergoing physical examinations.

Two minutes later, at the same time that Daniel Zhang returned, the village branch secretary also brought three or four villagers over.

Ma Ruoxi raised his hand and pointed to the southwest corner of the compound and said, "It's relatively secluded there, let's go there for an interview." ”

Li Rui naturally had no different opinions, so several people walked through the crowd, ran to the southwest corner, and started the interview under a huge plane tree.

The first villager to be interviewed was the village party secretary, and the interview process was also very simple, Ma Ruoxi asked him three questions, and learned from him about the causes and processes of the series of incidents in Dongshui Village, especially for the police siege of the village and Liu Erkui's death. According to Li Rui's previous reminder, the village party secretary answered all questions and stated truthfully, without adding any personal views and emotions, as if an outsider was stating something completely irrelevant to him.

After Ma Ruoxi understood the whole situation, he asked a digression: "What do you think of these two incidents?"

The village party secretary looked at the voice recorder in her hand a little nervously, and then looked up at Li Rui as if asking for help, obviously not knowing what to say. Of course, it's not that he doesn't know what to say, but he is afraid that he will say the wrong thing and be responsible.

Li Rui gave him an encouraging look and signaled him to say whatever he wanted.

The village party secretary had to say with a bitter face: "My opinion is ......"

Ma Ruoxi suddenly intercepted: "Say it casually, it doesn't matter, what you say will not be included in the interview draft, let alone the press release, I just ask casually to understand your views on the whole thing." ”

When the village party secretary heard this, he instantly relaxed, and said with a smile: "My opinion is that it is indeed a bit excessive for the district to send a large number of police into the village. What do the police do, they protect the people and protect the people, but the district is good, using the police to deal with us, bullying us, and not allowing us to express our opinions. As for the death of the old village chief, it must have been wronged, I didn't see it clearly at the time when he grabbed the gun or not, but even if he robbed it, he didn't grab it in his hand, and he was shot to death by the deputy director, which was too much. I have heard that before the police shoot, they have to fire a warning shot, and if he shoots someone without warning, it must be a violation of police discipline......"

He said something in a rambling manner, and Ma Ruoxi nodded again and again when he heard it, his expression was flat, and he couldn't tell whether he was satisfied or dissatisfied. Li Rui looked at her from the side, thinking secretly, this woman works very seriously, and has an intellectual and gentle temperament, which makes people involuntarily interested in her, from this point of view, women do not always attract men through beautiful appearances.

After Ma Ruoxi learned about the situation from the mouth of the village party secretary, he continued to interview the next villager, and the questions asked were similar, and even when interviewing the last two villagers, he only asked one question, which invisibly increased the efficiency of the interview.

An hour later, the interview was finished, and it was time for lunch.

Li Rui asked Ma Ruoxi's opinion: "Reporter Ma, should we go back to the city for lunch, or do we have something to eat nearby?"

Donghe Street is located in the suburbs of Shibei District, which is regarded as the junction of urban and rural areas, and its prosperity is naturally far less than that in the urban area.

Ma Ruoxi glanced at him, and said in a tone that was neither humble nor arrogant: "What's the matter, Director Li means to invite us to dinner?" Li Rui smiled: "I have this meaning, I don't know if the two reporters can appreciate their faces?"

Daniel Zhang said with a smile: "Director Li, you are too polite, we ......"

Before he finished speaking, Ma Ruoxi said in a cold tone: "Director Li may not know that when we go out for interviews, the cost of food and accommodation will be reimbursed, so Director Li doesn't have to worry about how we solve our lunch, let alone entertain us." We don't want to eat people with short mouths and short hands. ”

Daniel Zhang frowned at her, wanted to say something and closed his mouth again.

Li Rui saw that she always had prejudices against herself, and she seized the opportunity to do it against herself, and couldn't help but secretly slander, but she was also aroused by her desire to conquer her, so he pretended to smile freely and said: "It seems that reporter Ma has had the experience of eating people with short mouths and short hands before, but we Qingyang still disdain to do this, the reason why I want to invite two people to dinner is mainly to entertain guests from afar." Maybe because of the previous misunderstanding, reporter Ma put our leading cadres in Qingyang on the opposite side, or even as enemies, and always had suspicion and disgust, but we always treat the two as guests, and really want to entertain the two well, at least that's what I think personally. Otherwise, I'll invite the two of you to dinner in my personal name, spend my own money, and never let the personal feelings of this meal affect the interview activities of the two of them, okay? Of course, if reporter Ma is particularly unconfident and can't control himself from eating people with short mouths and short hands, then I don't say it. ”

After hearing this, Ma Ruoxi was angry and funny, her face turned a little red, and she said angrily: "You don't give me the method of agitation, this trick is useless for me." ”

Li Rui smiled, looked at Daniel Zhang, and said, "Since Reporter Ma does not dare to go to the banquet, then I will invite Reporter Zhang to the banquet alone, Brother Zhang, give the little brother a face, right?"

Ma Ruoxi didn't wait for Daniel Zhang to speak, and said angrily: "What do you mean I don't dare to go to the banquet, I just don't want to be entertained by you." Li Rui looked back at her face, and saw that her light and angry appearance was quite interesting, although it was not very bright and moving, but it was also beautiful and lively, and he couldn't stop laughing in his heart, and said: "You don't want to be treated by me, so why don't you invite me?"

Ma Ruoxi couldn't imagine that he was a dignified director who was actually playing with a little woman of his own, and sneered: "You can be embarrassed, I don't mind." Li Rui smiled: "What's so embarrassing about that? It's a big deal that you invited me at noon, and I'll invite you back in the evening." Ma Ruoxi looked at him contemptuously, thought for a while, and said, "Please invite you, but I don't want to delay too much time because of dinner, I also want to rush back to Beijing in the evening, let's eat nearby, and then go back to Dongshui Village to interview the family of the deceased." Li Rui said: "Okay, just do as you say." ”

After deciding on this matter, the three of them turned around and walked out of the health center, found a Chengdu snack nearby, went in and picked a clean table to sit on, and one of them asked for a bowl of rice and a bowl of soup to eat and drink.

Li Rui sat opposite Ma Ruoxi, eating and drinking all the time, but once he raised his head, even if he raised his eyelids slightly, he would just see the ravines and snow mounds exposed in the other party's heart, which made him very awkward, in a dilemma, it was uncomfortable to keep his head stuffy, but it was not good to always look up, even if he had no intention of blaspheming the other party, he was also passively seeing the spring scene exposed by the other party. He complained in his heart, why did this female reporter wear such revealing clothes? I know, I think she is a legal reporter, and I don't know, I think she is a public relations lady of a certain company.

Daniel Zhang ate quickly, smiled at the two after eating, got up and said, "You eat slowly, I'll go out to smoke a cigarette!" ”

Ma Ruoxi looked at him in disgust and said, "You can only smoke one, don't make your body smell of smoke." ”

Daniel Zhang smiled, didn't say anything, and hurriedly ran out, seemingly unable to stay up with his addiction to smoking.

Li Rui smiled and asked, "Reporter Ma, why do you hate smoking so much?" Ma Ruoxi said: "Nonsense, I still want to live a few more years." Li Rui laughed and asked again: "Can I ask you a question, a private question." Ma Ruoxi said while eating and drinking: "Ask, whatever." Li Rui said: "Why do I feel very familiar when I hear your name?" Ma Ruoxi flattened her mouth, rolled her eyes, looked at him and said: "Is it like the name of a friend of yours? Or even like the name of your ex-girlfriend? And then you use this to attract my attention and curiosity, and finally achieve your ulterior evil purpose? Director Li, as an official and cadre, do you also play the boring tricks of those young people playing pickle girls in the bar outside? Please be more mature, okay, I don't eat this set. ”
