Lu Rui didn't expect that when he met Cao Junming, it would be such a scene. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The old man often said that people rely on a pair of horses and saddles, and the elegant way of saying is that people rely on clothes and Buddha rely on gold. Now in this society, it is already rare to be able to wear a street stall for dozens of dollars out of the fan of Diro, if you wear a dress of less than 300 yuan to the hotel, not to mention that the waiter disdains you, even you yourself will feel embarrassed and a little ashamed. In the words of those fashionistas, a decent brand may not make an ordinary person show the temperament of a goose, but it can make a mediocre person look less out of the ordinary.

Seeing Lin Ruolan's brother, Lu Rui naturally wouldn't be bored enough to put on his usual casual clothes, although he prefers to dress up casually, but having clothes without wearing them is as boring as having money and pretending to be poor.

Although he is not a prince, Lu Rui is not interested in pretending to be a coachman, and it is not a fairy tale, where are there so many Cinderellas.

For people like Lu Rui and Cao Junming, wasting time is the most shameful, they are both smart people, and they both understand each other's purposes, so when they met for the first time, except for Lu Rui who was a little nervous, it didn't seem that Mars hit the earth as Lin Ruolan expected, but they were happy.

"Ruolan has been with you for the past few years." Cao Junming sat in the best hotel in Muyang, holding a teacup, and said lightly. If it weren't for the flashing edge he showed when he first came in and the few big men behind him with solemn expressions, Lu Rui would even find it hard to believe that this would be a soldier, and it seemed that more often than not, he looked like an ordinary scholar.

With a humble smile, Lu Rui said: "Big brother is polite, Ruolan and I are together, and we should have taken care of each other." "He's not a fool, this brother-in-law who came from an unknown place, although he didn't say it, but it was obvious that people were testing themselves.

The smile on Cao Junming's face didn't change at all, and it seemed that Lu Rui's words didn't surprise him: "Do you have any thoughts in the future?" If you follow the rules, you should have a good path to politics in the future. ”

"I haven't thought about it so much, it's good to go with the flow, I haven't thought too much about things as an official, I just want to do something practical for more people." Lu Rui's answer was watertight.

"There are many opportunities to do things at the grassroots level, but there are also limitations, and we must look at the overall situation." Cao Junming narrowed his eyes and looked at Lu Ruidao.

It's not the first time Lu Rui has heard someone say this to himself, and his answer is naturally the same as before: "The time of the mediocre and the poor is usually the least valuable, because they can squander a lot of money." Many people don't understand why those at the top of the wealth pyramid still have to work hard when they have earned a lifetime of money that they can't spend, in fact, because for the rich, making more money is a better reflection of the value of time. I prefer to work at the grassroots level, and that's why I can see the difference I can make in other people's lives, and I feel more satisfied. ”

"Everyone has their own path to choose, and I have no intention of interfering with your thoughts." Cao Junming looked at Lu Rui and said lightly: "I just hope you understand that since you have chosen this path, you are destined to go through a process full of hardships and ruggedness. ”

Lu Rui knew that his eldest brother should have a following.

Sure enough, Cao Junming looked at Lu Rui's eyes and slowly said in an unquestionable tone: "Many people don't know that sometimes saying the wrong thing is more serious than doing the wrong thing. If you do something wrong, you can correct it, but if you say something wrong, you can't get it back, but it's like water that has been spilled. In officialdom, you should also know that sometimes it doesn't matter if you do something wrong, you can still have a chance to make amends, but if you are on the wrong team, it will be difficult to make a comeback. ”

Lu Rui nodded, but did not speak. I have to say that what Cao Junming said is not wrong at all, in officialdom, it is indeed like what he said, you can make mistakes, because no one is not wrong, even if you make some decision-making mistakes when you are in charge, as long as you seriously correct it, there will always be a chance to make a comeback. Lu Rui's later generations were accustomed to seeing those cadres who stepped down and were refrigerated for various reasons, and they changed their faces and re-emerged in a few years, and they deeply sympathized with Cao Junming's words.

It seems that although his eldest brother is in the army, he is deeply involved in officialdom, no wonder he will be able to achieve the high position of commander of a large military region in the future.

In fact, Cao Junming's words were very obscure, in fact, he was warning Lu Rui that no matter how he tossed, as long as he didn't make a mistake when standing in line, there would be no problem.

In officialdom, standing in line is a great science. The so-called standing in line, to put it bluntly, is to choose a camp, a cadre wants to be promoted, if there is no one to support it, it will definitely not work, there are still small factions among the big factions, and there are still their own mountains among the small factions. And factions, to be more accurate, are communities of interest. Only when you show the potential to be valued or invested in by others, will the other party choose to support you. In the same way, if the other party can't give you a future to look forward to, how can you support him?

In officialdom, the word friendship is very interesting, friendship and friendship, there is exchange to have feelings.

What is friendship? It is a process of letting others owe you a favor, and then he slowly repays you a favor.

Lu Rui was not disgusted at all by Cao Junming's admonitions, because he knew very well that Cao Junming would not say these things if he didn't regard himself as a member of his family. It is precisely because of his relationship with Lin Ruolan that this rising star in the army has to care about his future, so he has today's warning. Although Lu Rui is not very clear about Cao Junming's personality, he can guess a little from his style of acting, especially when he secretly asked Chu Tiange to take care of his own affairs, which made Lu Rui secretly grateful in his heart.

"Drinking?" Cao Junming glanced at Lu Rui and suddenly asked.

Lu Rui was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "Big brother wants to drink, I naturally sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman." ”

Waving his hand, Cao Junming said: "I'm not a gentleman, to put it bluntly, I'm a soldier, what about you, since you're in the officialdom, it's impossible not to drink, let's have a few more drinks today, no problem, right?" The last sentence was said to Lin Ruolan.

Lin Ruolan stuck out her tongue, she specially booked the best box here today, and originally planned to ask for a few bottles of good wine, but Cao Junming waved his hand, and said that he was not used to drinking this kind of low-alcohol wine, so Lin Ruolan's thoughts stopped, and when she heard her cousin's words, Lin Ruolan looked at Lu Rui with some worry, how could she not know that Lu Rui didn't like to drink with others after being with Lu Rui for so long. Especially when he watched Cao Junming take out the high-purity Moutai liquor he specially brought from the capital from under the table.

Lu Rui smiled slightly, picked up the four taels of wine glasses in front of him and drank them all. gave the girl a reassuring look, under the table, the hands of the two people were tightly held together, looking sideways at the slender and firm warm hand that held her, Lin Ruolan no longer had the slightest hesitation and anxiety about the future of the two in her heart, biting her lip, holding this hand tightly, at this moment Lin Ruolan even felt that even if this man was a bad guy who committed peach blossoms, and a bastard who sometimes deceived himself, he didn't care about it.

Women are actually very strange animals, they may not fall in love with the kind of affectionate and obsessive good men, but most of the time, it is easy to fall for the bad guy who can give up everything for her in an instant.

Moutai is known as the wine for state banquets, and it is naturally expensive, especially this kind of high-purity Moutai that can only be found by the military, and it is no different from alcohol when ordinary people drink it.

It is the nouveau riche who drinks and looks at the brand, and the one who looks at the degree is the one who really knows how to taste wine.

Lu Rui's attitude of picking up the wine glass and drinking it all obviously made Cao Junming very satisfied.

Looking at Lu Rui's expression, Cao Junming nodded slightly in his heart, he was not satisfied with his future brother-in-law, nor could he say that he was disgusted, no matter what, it was the man that his sister had a crush on, although he felt that the story of the princess and the farmer was a bit funny, but he didn't expect that this young man's luck was so against the sky, and he gradually walked to this day step by step in the political world in an almost miraculous way. Especially in front of him today, no matter what Cao Junming says, Lu Rui has always shown a posture that is neither humble nor arrogant, which makes Cao Junming, who has always liked to go straight to the army, very happy.

This is an era of cannibalism, a person who only knows how to move forward, but does not know how to protect himself is difficult to survive in the officialdom, to be honest, Cao Junming doesn't care whether Lu Rui capsizes or not, he just cares if his sister will be sad.

But even so, Cao Junming is still a soldier in his bones, and his mastery of scheming is just a way to protect himself, compared to Lu Rui's cleverness, he appreciates the kind of arrogance that Lu Rui showed when he just drank.

"Yes, people who can drink are not bad people, you are good, I like it very much." Waving his hand to fill the wine, Cao Junming said casually.

Lu Rui was helpless for a while, his heart was really a soldier's demeanor, and he directly characterized me as a good person from the wine, he was not polite, picked up the wine glass and said loudly: "Today I met my eldest brother for the first time, I will do it first as a respect, I wish my eldest brother a step by step, and I wish my sister-in-law a prosperous business." ”

After speaking, Lu Rui raised his neck and drank the wine in the cup again.
