When Li Rui returned to the car, he asked Xu Jianqiang: "What are the other souvenirs?" Xu Jianqiang got out of the car and said, "I put it in the trunk, you can take a look." ”

Li Rui followed him to the trunk, and when he lifted the lid, he saw that it was full of local specialty products of Wulong County, including hemp duck eggs from the reservoir, reed storage boxes, and sweet potato flour in gift boxes, all of which were in triplicate, as well as two red boxes, which were estimated to be enamel handicrafts inside, and said with a smile: "The comrades in Wulong County are really enthusiastic, and they have sent so many good things." Xu Jianqiang said: "Yes, one for each person, it's really generous." ”

After returning to the city, Li Rui asked Zhang Hui to send him to the Qingyang Hotel first, and found that Song Chaoyang was not there, probably in the office of the municipal party committee, called Li Xiaoyue, first handed over the duck eggs to her, and asked her to hand them over to the kitchen of the VIP building, and asked the chefs to use them when making breakfast for Song Chaoyang every day.

These duck eggs come from the free-range ducks in the reservoir, those ducks wander in the lake every day, eat the small fish and shrimp in the reservoir, the grass seeds and insects in the mountains of the reservoir, and drink the clear and clean natural water of the reservoir.

Li Xiaoyue quickly handed it over to the kitchen, and came back to tell Li Rui that it had been done. Li Rui pointed to the remaining reed storage box and sweet potato flour and asked her to take it back and use it. Li Xiaoyue was not greedy for these little things at all, and all of them refused with a smile.

Li Rui saw that she didn't want it, and he didn't force it, so he thought about it and took a taxi to the house of Secretary General Du Minsheng.

Du Minsheng also worked as usual today, without rest, and Du's wife was the only one at home. Their daughter, who attends a boarding high school, comes back two days a month and is away from home most of the time.

Li Rui bought some more fruits on the road, and at this time he came to the door with fruits and two gifts, and he felt that he would not look shabby.

Du's wife was very happy to see him visiting, and invited him in. Li Rui put away the fruits and gifts, and complained to the other party, saying that he was too polite. Li Rui said bluntly, telling her that she had just come back from participating in volunteer activities, and this was a local product sent by Wulong County, and she couldn't use it, so she sent it to the secretary-general's home. Du's wife complained, but she was very happy in her heart, and asked him some things about falling in love with Lu Qingman.

Li Rui didn't stay long, after drinking a cup of tea, he got up and said goodbye, returned to the office of the municipal party committee, went into the back room and chatted with Song Chaoyang about the details of the volunteer activities, and then took out the red box in the bag, handed it over and said: "Boss, this is a souvenir from Wulong, it's useless for me to keep it, just give it to Mr. Sun." Teacher Sun has always been very good to me, the last time I met Qingman, she prepared a gift for me, so I didn't make a fool of myself. She's really nice to me. ”

Song Chaoyang smiled and took it in his hand, took out the jewelry box inside, played with it, and said: "Wulong is very rich, you can send souvenirs to antiques!" Li Rui hurriedly explained: "This is a craft product produced by a palace enamel art factory in Wulong County, and everyone who goes has a copy." On the one hand, we will leave it as a souvenir, and on the other hand, let us help publicize and advertise. Song Chaoyang nodded, put the jewelry box back in the red box, and said, "Since it's a souvenir, then you can keep it for yourself." Your teacher Sun doesn't usually wear much jewelry, so you don't need this jewelry box. I took your mind for her, hehe. Li Rui said: "Why don't you need it? Song Chaoyang laughed and said, "Then you don't have to give it to her." I think this jewelry box is rich and elegant, so you should give it to someone who needs it more. Li Rui was stunned when he heard this, who needs it more? Who is it? Song Chaoyang smiled: "You, it's not okay to always remember others in your heart, you should remember your own people, and you have to remember your own people." Li Rui said blankly: "Your own people?" Song Chaoyang got up and said: "You calculate yourself, how long has it been since you went to the provincial capital to see Qingman? Isn't this jewelry box the best gift?" Li Rui suddenly realized and said, "Yes!"

Li Rui did not escape the invitation of Dong Jinli's brothers and sisters, and met with his brothers and sisters for dinner in a hotel private room in the evening.

Dong Jinli is the same age as Guan Weiwei, looks about the same as his sister, is tall, has a delicate appearance, and is a beautiful man. Li Rui prides himself on being a handsome guy, but he has to be convinced when he stands with this big brother.

Dong Jieyu introduced the two to each other, Dong Jinli took Li Rui's hand for a long time, and said words of gratitude for a long time. Li Rui was polite to him, and it took a long time before he sat down, but the hand he shook was already sweating.

Dong Jinli asked Li Rui to order, but Li Rui naturally refused to agree, saying that he was a guest. Dong Jinli ordered six dishes and one soup, all the dishes are hard dishes, not to mention the delicacies of the mountains and seas, and the soup has some bad taste, it is actually Wang Ba soup. Everyone knows that Wang Ba soup is a great tonic, and there are many people who like to drink Wang Ba soup, but this kind of soup is drunk well, but it is not very good to say. Especially Li Rui himself was betrayed by his ex-wife Liu Liping, and he was also confused to become the eighth king, so when he heard the name of this soup, his heart was quite twisted. Fortunately, when the waiter announced the name of the dish, he said "soft-shelled turtle soup", which made him feel more comfortable.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Dong Jinli gave Dong Jieyu a look, Dong Jieyu glanced at Li Rui, got up and left. Li Rui didn't know what she meant by looking at herself, and intuitively felt that Dong Jinli had something to say to herself.

Dong Jinli took the leather bag from the side, opened the zipper, took out two envelopes from it, held them in both hands, solemnly handed them to Li Rui, and said: "Brother Li Rui, if you hadn't helped me with this great favor this time, then I would definitely have gone in, and the company would not be able to keep it, and the money I have earned over the years will definitely be fined." I have to thank you so much. This is a little meaning, please laugh at it. Only then did Li Rui know his sister's deep meaning, and refused: "Brother Jinli, you are too polite." Jieyu and I are both old neighbors and good friends, and you are her brother, just like my brother. I'll help my eldest brother, do you still need to thank you? If you take it back, I will never want it. Dong Jinli said: "It's your business to be good with Jieyu, and it's our business for the two of us to make friends." You have to take it today, if you don't accept it, you just don't treat me as a friend, how can I have the face to eat and drink with you in the future?"

The two of them refused, one had to be pushed to each other for life or death, and the other couldn't be wanted for life or death, and they were entangled for a long time, and no one could convince anyone. At this time, Dong Jieyu walked back, saw that the two were still pulling, and after sitting down, she gave Li Rui a look, and seemed to signal him to accept it.

The reason why Li Rui refused to accept whatever Dong Jinli said was because for Dong Jieyu's sake, this matter was what she begged for, and she helped her because of her friendship with her.

Dong Jieyu saw that he didn't react, so she kicked him from under the table. Li Rui was once again sure that she really wanted to accept her brother's gratitude by herself. However, the problem is that he has already violated discipline by greeting Zeng Hanlin in this matter, and if he accepts the benefit fee from the party concerned, will it not become an act of taking advantage of his position to accept benefits from others? If this is spread to others, how can he still be the first secretary of the municipal party committee?

Dong Jieyu saw that he still didn't agree, so she simply took the two envelopes from her brother's hands and said, "I'll take it for him first." Dong Jinli saw that his sister-in-law seemed to have a good personal relationship with this Li Rui, and even the money could be kept for him, his heart moved, and he secretly wondered that if his sister could marry this big man, she would not talk about it in the future, and she would have no scruples in Qingyang, so he smiled and said: "You can take it, Brother Li Rui is too polite." You two are so good, then we are not outsiders. Why bother?"

Li Rui heard the meaning of love in his words, and he didn't think so, he already had an ambiguous relationship with Dong Jieyu, and said to Dong Jieyu sideways: "You can't ask me if you take it." Dong Jieyu ignored him, and she didn't know who to say, "Hurry up and eat." ”

Dong Jinli said: "Brother Li Rui, there are two gifts in total. The above one is for you. The following one, please help me pass it on to your friend from the Commission for Discipline Inspection. If it weren't for his mercy, I would have been miserable. Li Rui thought to himself that he could not want his money, but Zeng Hanlin did not necessarily want him, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll give it to him when I go back." Dong Jinli was very happy and said, "Brother, I still have a favor to ask you to help." So, you can take this thank you, because you have to do me a great favor. Li Rui said: "You say, I will definitely help if I can help." Dong Jinli glanced at Dong Jieyu with a smile and said, "I heard my sister say that you have a good relationship with Captain Guan Weiwei, the new head of the Municipal Traffic Police Detachment?" Li Rui nodded, and understood his thoughts in his heart.

Sure enough, Dong Jinli sighed: "Brother, you should also understand that I must have something to do with the people of the Public Security Bureau who sell police equipment." It doesn't matter, you can't sell a few pieces a year, and you're just waiting to make money at a loss. This relationship has no power, and it must be able to speak up in terms of procurement. In the past, Wang Bin monopolized all the power of the traffic police detachment, and I also made some money. But Wang Bin was dealt with, and my company was hurt, and if I want to have a big business in the future, it is basically delusional. I heard that you have a very good relationship with Guan Weiwei, can you help me introduce me and ask him to take care of my business? ”
