After Yang Liqing and Du Jinsong left, the banquet went on as usual, although the cups were still pushed, but the atmosphere was never lively. Whether it is from the organization department or the county party committee, looking at Li Rui's gaze is full of envy, jealousy, and ridicule.

No one is a fool in the officialdom, and the young man in front of him, who seemed to be low-key, not only spent money on Du Jinsong, but also dared to argue with the county magistrate.

Envy and jealousy are thinking in their hearts, if you have a background, it is different, and Twenty Lang should be the main department, and you don't have to be angry anywhere. Paralyzed, thinking that it took me decades to be at the same level as the young man in front of me, this is still what I got from enduring humiliation and eating dried radish rice for decades, and it really didn't taste good in my heart.

The mocking ones are looking forward to watching a good show, after all, they are young! In the future, I don't know the reason for the hardships, and then I will know that the rivers and lakes are sinister.

The welcome luncheon ended in a hurry in this atmosphere, and Yang Gensheng didn't stay long and chatted with Pan Yuan and Yu Shungen before leaving and returning to Pengcheng. According to the schedule, a deputy minister will accompany Li Rui to the Coal Regulatory Bureau tomorrow to announce his appointment.

It was okay in the afternoon, and Li Rui originally planned to go to see the renovated old house. Li Rui came to see it twice when decorating, don't look at Fang Qiangren's babbling, the work is very good, the layout of the yard and the interior decoration, in terms of details, even exceed the professional decoration company invited by Li Rui in the previous life. For more than a week, Qianqiang called and said that it was completed and asked him to go for acceptance, Li Rui has not been free, and he happened to go over today to take a look.

Li Rui had just walked out of the county party committee building, and a man with a bag ran over, "Secretary Li, hello!" ”

Li Rui looked at the man in his thirties with slightly bald hair in front of him, and thought for a while: "Are you from the Coal Authority?" ”

"I'm Geng Zhongchen, deputy director of the Coal Authority Office." Geng Zhongchen hurriedly introduced himself.

"Director Geng has something to do with me?" Li Rui asked.

"Secretary Li, I specially sent you a car, this is the driver Lao Wang." Geng Zhongchen pointed to a black Santana parked in the shade of a tree, and introduced the driver who trotted all the way from the car.

"In addition, your accommodation has been vacated, but the time is a bit rushed, and you haven't had time to clean and set it up. I have opened a room for you at the South Bridge Guesthouse, here is the key. As he spoke, Geng Zhongchen took out a key card from his bag and handed it over.

After Du Jinsong's public demonstration at noon, Li Rui originally thought that he would be alone when he came to Nanqiao, but he didn't expect the deputy director of the office to come and serve him as soon as possible. It shouldn't have been arranged by Du Jinsong, as for the office director who had previously competed for the deputy director, Li Rui didn't think he was so kind.

"Director Geng, I haven't officially taken office yet, so it's not appropriate. In addition, I have a place to stay in Nanqiao, so you don't have to make special arrangements. Li Rui didn't pick up the keycard, raised his hand and looked at his watch and said, "I still have something to do in the afternoon, so you can go back first." ”

Looking at the back of Li Rui leaving, Geng Zhongchen was a little stunned for a while.

"Director Geng, shall we go back then?" Lao Wang on the side reminded in a whisper.

"Huh? Oh, go back. Geng Zhongchen sighed, turned his head and inadvertently saw a trace of pity in Lao Wang's eyes, and Geng Zhongchen's heart couldn't help but smile bitterly. It's sad to think that one of the deputy directors of the office has become a pitiful figure in the eyes of the driver!

Li Rui didn't see this scene, and before the situation was clarified, everything still needed to be done carefully. However, he was careful about Geng Zhongchen, the deputy director of the office, if he came here by himself today, it means that the Coal Management Bureau is not monolithic, and of course it cannot be ruled out that he was instructed by someone to come and test himself.

It is only a ten-minute walk from the county party committee compound to the old house, the re-made gate is ajar, the bluestone slab paved ground, and the newly planted greenery has not yet woken up and hung its head. In front of the main room, quilts, mattresses, pillows, cushions and so on are lined up.

Li Rui came over today to see the decoration situation, and also wanted to ask Aunt Fang to help buy some common supplies and bedding. Seeing that this situation has been prepared, this kid Fang Qiang is quite careful.

"Oops, Rui is here." Aunt Fang, who was wearing an apron and holding a mop in her hand, walked out of the house and was pleasantly surprised when she saw Li Rui standing in the yard.

"Aunt Fang, I'm sorry for you." At a glance, he knew that Aunt Fang was helping to clean the room, Li Rui pointed to the drying outside things, "It's all done?" ”

"What's the trouble with this, I'm idle and idle." Aunt Fang smiled and said, "It was all completed more than a week ago, and I saw that the smell of paint was almost dissipated in the past few days, so I wanted to clean it inside and out." The daily necessities were all bought by Qiangzi, and he said that when you come back, you can move in directly with your bag. ”

"What about Hadron?" Li Rui asked.

They took another little job, and after dinner he went to the construction site. You wait for me to pager him and get him back right away. Aunt Fang hurriedly said.

Compared with the first time she came, Aunt Fang's mood was not good, in the past, she was most worried about her unobtrusive son, but now Fang Qiang has pulled up the construction team, has a serious job, and the key is to make a lot of money, these are all Li Rui's help.

"Aunt Fang, I'll fight it." Seeing that Aunt Fang was going to run back next door to make a call, Li Rui smiled and took out his mobile phone from his bag and dialed Fang Qiang's pager number.

"It's still convenient to have a big brother. Xiao Rui, you take a look around first, and if you are not satisfied, just say. I still have a room that I don't mop, and when the strong son comes, I'll go grocery shopping and make you something to eat at night. ”

"Okay, thank you Aunt Fang."

"You kid, Aunt Fang didn't thank you, what are you thanking for! It's all as it should be. Aunt Fang said with a smile.

The house is cleaned inside and out, the east wing is temporarily empty, the west wing is a guest room, and the furniture inside has been placed. There are three main rooms, the middle is the living room, the east is the master bedroom, the ear room is opened as a bathroom, and the west is the study. There are three back hood rooms, one for storage and the other two open up for the kitchen and dining room. Pots and pans, towels and toothbrushes are all available, and you can move in today.

Sitting comfortably on the sofa in the living room, turning on the twenty-five-inch TV, and taking a sip of the tea that Aunt Fang had just made, the little depression at noon was suddenly swept away.

In less than twenty minutes, there was a sudden sound of motorcycles outside the door, and Fang Qiang came back.

"Brother Rui, how is it? Still satisfied, right? Fang Qiang asked as soon as he entered the door.

"Not bad, pretty good." Li Rui smiled and nodded, picked up the cigarette on the coffee table and handed it to Fang Qiang, and continued: "By the way, I forgot to tell you last time that I have some household appliances and daily necessities, since I have bought them all now, you can quote the number, and I will transfer the money to you tomorrow." ”

The price of household appliances is still expensive these days, a few TVs, air conditioners and refrigerators or something, it also cost Fang Qiang nearly 30,000 yuan, he smiled, and said a little embarrassed: "Brother Rui, you can give 20,000 yuan." ”

Li Rui made a rough estimate, "Don't be 20,000 yuan, and let you post the money, just 30,000." Seeing that Fang Qiang was about to refuse, Li Rui waved his hand and said, "You don't have to fight with me." By the way, I heard from Aunt Fang just now that you have received the project again, and the business is good! ”

"It's just a small fence of dozens of meters, and people don't want to do it, so they let us do it. The construction team has just been set up, so we can't just be idle. Fang Qiang scratched his scalp and said.

"That's how it should be!" Aunt Fang walked in after packing up her profits, "The hardships of the hardships are the hardships of the people." Besides, fly legs are also meat, no! As he spoke, he smiled at Li Rui and said, "Xiao Rui, you talk to Qiangzi first, I'll go grocery shopping." ”

"My mom is like this, Brother Rui, don't be weird." After Aunt Fang left, Fang Qiang said helplessly.

"I think what Aunt Fang said makes a lot of sense, business should be like this, and besides, you are just starting out now." Li Rui smiled and said, "There is one more thing I want to tell you, from today onwards, I will be officially transferred back to work in Nanqiao." ”

"Really!" Fang Qiang slapped his thigh, overjoyed, but after thinking about it, he was a little puzzled: "Brother Rui, you are doing well in Pengcheng, why do you want to transfer it back?" ”

This kind of thing is not something that can be said clearly in one or two sentences, Li Rui smiled and said: "The main thing is to come down and exercise." ”

Seeing Li Rui's relaxed expression, Fang Qiang patted his head, re-showed a smile and said, "I understand, you are down to gild." Brother Rui, which unit are you assigned to and what position are you assigned? ”

"Coal Authority, Party Secretary and Deputy Director."

"Secretary of the Coal Authority!" Fang Qiang's eyes widened when he heard this, Li Rui was the director of the Municipal Planning Commission in the past, and it was too far away for ordinary people like Fang Qiang. But in this Nanqiao County, the director and secretary are all figures who need to be looked up to, not to mention the powerful Coal Management Bureau, especially in the eyes of the children of miners like Fang Qiang, I never dared to think that the secretary of the Coal Management Bureau would sit with him and call him brother, smoking and fart.

"This, Brother Rui, oh no, Secretary Li, if I don't talk to my mother later, let's go out to eat." Fang Qiang didn't know where to put his hand for a while, and stammered.

"Fart, what do you kid think! I am the secretary of the Coal Management Bureau, what does it have to do with eating at home! Li Rui scolded with a smile.

"No, Secretary Li, it's shabby to eat at home." Fang Qiang hurriedly said.

"I warn you, call me Secretary Li again, be careful that I smoke you. I said that you were a soldier and a gangster on the street, why are you so unproductive! ”

"Brother Rui, you don't know, we are the children of miners, when we were children, we heard adults mention the leadership of the Coal Pipe Bureau, that is God! As soon as I heard that you were the secretary of the Coal Management Bureau, I didn't react for a while. Fang Qiang rubbed his hands and said with a cramped expression.

Whether it was in his previous life or now, Li Rui has never taken this kind of cadre below the division level in his eyes, and when he heard Fang Qiang say this, he felt a trace of pride in his heart. A small section-level cadre turned out to be so majestic in the eyes of ordinary people. But on second thought, if you want to gain a firm foothold in the Coal Authority, you still have to spend some time.
