Chapter 51: I Want to Take a Bite of Fat (Part II)
It wasn't until the next morning that Li Rui received a call from Wu Kangmei.
"Secretary Li, yesterday it was blocked until twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, so I didn't call for fear of affecting your rest. The two bags that were lost were also recovered, but thanks to the help of Captain Zhu, the car by car was checked, and they were finally found. All kinds of documents in the bag are there, Big Brother is in good condition, and there is a lot of money. β
Although what Zhu Jie said yesterday was quite sure, Li Rui still felt that he had no bottom in his heart, he didn't expect that he really found it back, and he had a matter on his mind.
"Secretary Li, Qiangzi and I live in the International Hotel, let's come over for breakfast together!" Then Wu Kangmei invited again.
Li Rui knew that Wu Kangmei was anxious to inquire about the news, so he smiled and said, "I won't come." I told Lao Zhao and Miss Yu of Tengfei Group about your business yesterday, basically there is no problem, you will contact Lao Zhao first, and you can talk about it yourself. β
The matter was so easy to get done, Wu Kangmei was very happy and thanked him repeatedly, "Secretary Li, I'll arrange it at noon and invite Mr. Zhao and Miss Yu to have dinner together, what do you think?" β
"Okay, I won't go out in the morning, you can call this directly after you arrange it." Li Rui readily agreed, he was fine, and when he came back last night, he originally wanted to contact Gao Jie to see what programs there were, but Gao Jie accompanied her mother to Jiangning and didn't come back until Monday.
The last move was a bit of a hurry, plus there was no one for a week, and a thin layer of dust accumulated on the ground. After being transferred to Nanqiao, no one came to collect the house here, Li Rui was also happy to pretend to be deaf and dumb, although this one-room dormitory is not big, but it is also quite good as a place to stay. In the future, I will occasionally have a tryst with Gaojie, which is much more convenient and safe than a hotel.
The house is not big, and it only takes half an hour to clean up, Li Rui was about to go downstairs to get something to eat, the phone on the table rang, originally Li Rui thought it was Wu Kangmei calling, but when he picked it up, it was Guo Wending's secretary Yao Lei.
"Li Rui, why did your eldest brother turn off the phone, I called several times in the morning, and I also called the phone here with the idea of trying it out, but I didn't expect you to be there." From the secretary of the deputy mayor to the secretary of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and the secretary of the Minister of Organization, Yao Lei's voice was much louder than before, and his attitude seemed very casual.
"The phone was pulled at my friend's place last night, so I guess it's out of battery. Is there anything wrong with Yao Mi? Li Rui didn't explain too much, he and Yao Lei didn't have any intersection in the first place, and he didn't feel very good about Yao Lei.
"Minister Guo is looking for you, if you have time now, you can go to Minister Guo's house."
"Okay, I'll be there in half an hour."
After hanging up the phone, Li Rui didn't think much about it, maybe he was concerned about his work in Nanqiao. I went downstairs to eat a bowl of noodles, bought some fruit, and then drove the 212 jeep parked downstairs to Guo Wending's house.
"Li Rui is here, please come in, look at your kid, you're here, you're here, what else do you bring?" Wu Qiaozhen was unusually enthusiastic when she saw Li Rui.
"Aunt Wu, just a little fruit, it's rare for leaders to recruit each other, I'm embarrassed to come empty-handed!" Li Rui said with a smile.
Handing over the fruit in his hand to Wu Qiaozhen, Li Rui's eyes swept towards the flower stand, the white porcelain Guanyin that he had placed there when he came last time was gone, and it seemed that the two of them were also knowledgeable.
"Li Rui, come and sit." Guo Wending was sitting in the living room with a young man who looked to be in his early thirties, and greeted Li Rui with a smile when he saw him come in.
Li Rui didn't know this young man, but if he looked closely, he could find that this person's eyebrows were somewhat similar to Wu Qiaozhen.
"Li Rui, this is my younger brother Wu Tian, who specializes in the stone business." Wu Qiaozhen introduced with a smile, and from her tone, she emphasized that Wu Tian was in the stone business, and Li Rui could almost guess the purpose of Guo Wending calling him over this time.
"You are Li Rui! I didn't expect to be the secretary of the Nanqiao Coal Management Bureau at such a young age, fortunately! Fortunately! Wu Tian got up from the sofa, took out a business card and handed it to Li Rui, and at the same time glanced at his brother-in-law sitting opposite, intentionally or unintentionally.
Li Rui couldn't help but be a little funny, as if to remind him not to forget who gave him this official.
Guo Wending obviously noticed this, and his face couldn't help twitching, speaking of his brother-in-law who is really a bit of a dog meat can't be served, isn't this a joke!
"Li Rui, sit down and talk." Guo Wending hurriedly said.
Li Rui took the business card and glanced at it, shook hands with Wu Tian with a smile, and said politely: "Mr. Wu, hello." Then he sat down.
Compared with Li Rui's decent behavior, Guo Wending was even more shameless about his brother-in-law's behavior in his heart, and at the same time, he also faintly regretted it in his heart, and he didn't know if it was a mistake to call Li Rui today.
"How? It's been a week, and you've been adapting to everything over there, right? Guo Wending asked with a smile.
"It's okay, a few old comrades in the unit still take good care of me." Li Rui said.
Guo Wending nodded, "You are still young after all, whether you are a person or doing things, don't be too sharp, everything is too much, especially respect the leaders of the county, you can go to your county magistrate Su if you have anything, he is your county magistrate in charge after all." β
Good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, Li Rui knew that those rumors had reached Guo Wending's ears as soon as he heard them, but he was not surprised, after all, Yang Gensheng from the Second Division of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee was also present that day, and I believe that Guo Wending should be very clear about everything that happened at that time.
"Isn't that covered with you! If they hadn't bullied people, I wouldn't have been like that. Besides, if I had been a grandson at that time and didn't say a word, wouldn't it be a smashing of your brand! Li Rui said with a deliberately hippie smile.
"Haha!" Guo Wending couldn't help laughing, in fact, after Yang Gensheng reported to him that day, Guo Wending's heart was also very annoyed, Li Rui was a cadre sent by the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee, Yang Liqing obviously didn't take the Organization Department in his eyes, in the final analysis, he didn't take him, the newly appointed Organization Minister, in his eyes.
"It doesn't matter if you smash my sign or not, but the point is that it will inevitably have a negative impact on your future work. Nanqiao is not as good as the city, and everything is better to keep a low profile. β
Guo Wending's two sentences were serious, and Li Rui hurriedly nodded and said, "Uncle Guo, I remember." β
Li Rui and Guo Wending were chatting about work, Wu Tian on the side tried to interject several times but didn't interject, just when Wu Qiaozhen came over with the washed fruit, Wu Tian hurriedly glanced at his sister.
"Li Rui, this is the fruit you bought, you're welcome, eat it!" Wu Qiaozhen greeted with a smile, sat down and said, "Wu Tian is in the stone business, and the business is not easy to do now, if there is any opportunity in the future, Li Rui, you have to help pay attention." β
"What a mess, Li Rui is the secretary of the Party Committee of the Nanqiao County Coal Management Bureau, and he has nothing to do with Wu Tian's stone business, don't talk about these useless things." Guo Wending scolded with a straight face.
"I just asked Li Rui to help pay attention, what's wrong with everyone being their own people?" Wu Qiaozhen shouted at Guo Wending.
"Aunt Wu, don't worry! I'll take this to heart. Li Rui hurriedly said.
Wu Tian finally got a chance to speak and hurriedly said: "Yes, brother-in-law, I heard that the commercial real estate project over there of the textile factory is about to start, it is said that there are not only large shopping malls but also five-star hotels, and there must be a lot of stone used in the decoration and interior decoration of the faΓ§ade." Li Rui, I heard that you have a good relationship with the developer, can you help introduce me? β
"Okay, I'll introduce you when I have a chance." This is related to Guo Wending's face, Li Rui did not hesitate at all, and agreed to come down in one bite.
"Then please." Wu Tianle's eyebrows opened and smiled, patted his chest and said, "When the time comes, you make an appointment with Mr. Zhao, and I will arrange everything." β
"There is no need to arrange, as long as the price and quality are acceptable, I think it should not be a big problem." Li Rui said with a smile.
"No problem, no problem!" Wu Tian nodded repeatedly.
Wu Qiaozhen also said on the side: "Wu Tian, you can listen well, you must pay attention to the quality, otherwise it will not be your face that will be lost at that time." β
"Don't worry, sister! I know this. Saying that, Wu Tian said to Li Rui again: "Li Rui, don't worry, I, Wu Tian, am not the kind of person who can't figure it out, I understand the rules." β
"Don't!" Li Rui waved his hand again and again, "Aunt Wu also said just now that we are all our own people, not to mention the unruly rules, everyone is helping." I'm still saying that as long as the price and quality meet their standards, it's not a big problem. β
Li Rui looked at this Wu Tian's words and deeds were a little unreliable, and specially emphasized the price and quality again in front of Guo Wending, and if there was any mistake, it would be good to have an explanation.
"That's right! Li Rui is right! Wu Tian, don't mess up that mess, do business honestly, don't think about opportunism. Guo Wending said.
In front of Guo Wending, Wu Tian was still quite honest, and nodded yes again and again.
Li Rui saw that the time was almost there, and got up to say goodbye.
"Li Rui, stay and eat." Wu Qiaozhen said enthusiastically. Last time, I sent an antique white porcelain Guanyin, and this time I promised to do Wu Tian a big favor, Wu Qiaozhen's impression of Li Rui is not generally good.
"No, no, Aunt Wu and I also have a friend, I won't bother today." Li Rui hurriedly said.
Wu Qiaozhen still wanted to stay, but Guo Wending spoke: "Okay, Li Rui is working in Nanqiao now, it's rare to come back, don't make trouble with it." Li Rui, I won't keep you today. Remember, working in Nanqiao is still low-key, if you have any questions, you can find your county magistrate Su, or you can call me directly. β
"Thank you, Uncle Guo, I will definitely report more to you and County Magistrate Su in the future."
Coming out of Guo Wending's house, Li Rui finally breathed a sigh of relief, although that Wu Tian was a little unreliable, but he also saw that Guo Wending was very embarrassed, no matter what, Guo Wending took care of him, and he still had to help with this favor.
Soon after Li Rui left, Wu Tian also followed to say goodbye, he was already a little afraid of Guo Wending's brother-in-law, and since the matter was done, he didn't want to stay.
Wu Qiaozhen sent her younger brother away, closed the door, and turned around to see her husband staring at her with a straight face, and couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "Who are you showing this donkey face to?" β
"What do you say you did today? What an embarrassment! Guo Wending knew that the relationship between his wife and Wu Tian's sister and brother had always been very good, and although the matter had come to this, he couldn't help but complain.
"What's so embarrassing about this! Li Rui is not an outsider, you usually take good care of him, ask him for a favor, what is there to say. Besides, didn't Wu Tian say it, Li Rui has a good relationship with the developer, what is the name of Mr. Zhao, the two of them went to the police station together because of a fight, and it wasn't you who asked Xiaoyao to call to bail out. If you want me to say, that Mr. Zhao still owes you love. Wu Qiaozhen said indifferently.
"Who are you listening to? Forget it, forget it, I can't tell you clearly. Guo Wending didn't expect Wu Qiaozhen to have this kind of logic, and he didn't bother to explain, so he waved his hand irritably.
"Alright, don't be angry." Wu Qiaozhen knew that her husband was not in a good mood today, so she took Guo Wending's arm and sat down on the sofa.
Wu Qiaozhen poured a cup of tea and brought it to Guo Wending with her own hands, and said, "Take a sip of tea to dissipate your anger, I can't help it!" I heard that this commercial real estate project has a large investment, and many people are staring at it. Although you have taken a step forward now, some things are not as convenient as before, and you have not been in office for a long time, so we still have to consider the impact, right? It just so happened that Li Rui had this relationship, so I asked Xiaoyao to call him and ask him to come over. Didn't I say hello to you in advance? β
Guo Wending also ate Wu Qiaozhen's set, and sighed long: "Forget it, that's it." But I'll talk about the ugly thing first, this kind of thing is only once, and it won't be an example. In addition, you will also instruct Wu Tian in the future, you look at the way he looks today, he is thirty years old, and his speech and demeanor are not as stable as Li Rui. β
"Okay, I got it. Who called his brother-in-law capable? You sit and watch TV first, I'll go to the kitchen to fry two dishes, and treat you well today. Wu Qiaozhen knew that her husband was angry, and after speaking, she kissed Guo Wending's face.
