Chapter 257: Principles and Bottom Line
Li Chengcheng took Lin Tao to the door of the box where Li Ruiming was, did not push the door in a panic, blocked the door of the box with his body, looked at Lin Tao with a playful smile on his face, and said, "Little handsome guy, are you Secretary Li's nephew?" ”
"Nephew?"
Lin Tao was stunned for a moment, and then immediately reacted, I am afraid that Li Ruiming has an unusual relationship with the female boss in front of him, otherwise he would not say that he is his nephew in front of the female boss.
Could it be that the two of them have that kind of relationship?
If that's the case, then Lin Tao feels that Li Ruiming can't be trusted.
The reason why Li Ruiming and Lin Tao can get in touch is mainly because Zhang Huilan is matchmaking, and Zhang Huilan is the sister-in-law of the police flower Li Wanru, so Zhang Huilan is trustworthy, but Li Ruiming feels too old to Lin Tao, and the city government is also deep, he doesn't know that Li Ruiming's words are true and those words are false.
"Secretary Li told you, I'm his nephew?"
Lin Tao did not answer Li Chengcheng, and asked rhetorically.
Li Chengcheng saw that Lin Tao was not leaking anything, and he refused to reveal any news at all, and instead inquired about the news from himself, he immediately did not dare to look down on the young man in front of him, at least in Li Chengcheng's opinion, Lin Tao was much taller than his peers.
Li Chengcheng didn't know how to answer Lin Tao, if he told Lin Tao that Secretary Li told her, then Li Chengcheng was afraid that Li Ruiming would be unhappy because of this, if he didn't say it, Li Chengcheng felt that the question he asked Lin Tao just now couldn't go back, just when she was a little entangled, she only heard a creak from the door, and the door of the box was opened from the inside.
Li Ruiming stood at the door of the box, smiled at Lin Tao and Li Chengcheng, stretched out his hand and pushed the black glasses frame on the bridge of his nose, and asked curiously: "I heard you talking when I sat inside, did you know each other before?" ”
Li Chengcheng hurriedly waved his hand and said with a sneer: "I don't know you or not, how can I know your nephew, just now I heard this handsome guy inquiring about your box downstairs, and I guessed that it must be your nephew, so I took the initiative to bring him up." ”
"Well, you go and go about your business!"
Li Ruiming nodded to Li Chengcheng, and then invited Lin Tao into the box with a smile.
When Lin Tao saw Li Ruiming again this time, he didn't have the sense of oppression when he saw him for the first time, and after smiling at him, he followed him into the box.
Closing the door of the box, Li Ruiming took the lead in sitting on the leather sofa in the box, and then pointed to the side and said: "Xiaotao, you can do it too, this is a restaurant opened by my friend's wife, it is safer, rest assured." ”
Lin Tao sat down with a smile and said, "I'm going to trouble Secretary Li again this time." ”
Li Ruiming took the initiative to help Lin Tao pour the tea, handed it to Lin Tao, and said: "If you say this, you will see the outside, Xiao Tao, I still say the same thing, you are my savior, I will only help you and will not harm you!" ”
"I know!"
Li Ruiming nodded and continued: "I know that you have deep feelings for Chen Miao, and you don't want to believe that what she does is for herself and her superiors, if you think about it yourself, you can figure it out, since ancient times, good and evil are not separated, how can the official people go back to let you be the underworld, and let you unify the underworld of the entire Yangcheng, although the police do have undercover operations, but it is only an undercover disguised underworld, but what about you, they have now completely turned you into a triad boss, How could we officials do this kind of thing! ”
"But ......"
Lin Tao said with great confusion: "This operation even the leaders of our troops in the past agreed to it, how could it be Chen Miao's behavior of pretending to be public and private?" ”
Li Ruiming looked at Lin Tao with deep meaning and reminded: "Do you think there are no bad people in the army?" ”
"This ......"
Lin Tao was a little speechless, indeed as Li Ruiming said, he didn't dare to guarantee that the troops were all honest and good people.
"So, nothing can be done just by appearances! If your mind is too simple, it will be easy to be used, but you can't be blamed for this, you are the most soldier, the duty of a soldier is to obey orders, your superior orders you to do that, so you have to carry it out, our No. 2 leader has already interviewed me once, and he also knows that you are being used by others, and can give you a chance to make up for it, as long as you are willing to confess that the previous things were instructed by Chen Miao, then you will be fine! ”
"Let me testify against Chen Miao?"
Lin Tao looked at Li Ruiming with wide eyes.
Li Ruiming nodded with an indifferent expression and said, "This is your only way out, otherwise once the No. 2 leader moves the liver fire, I'm afraid that even you will be unlucky, and even I won't be able to protect you at that time!" ”
Although Lin Tao still can't see whether Li Ruiming is in league with the No. 2 leader for the time being, there is one thing that Lin Tao will definitely not do, that is, let him identify Chen Miao!
Regardless of whether Chen Miao took advantage of himself or not, at least Chen Miao has always been good to himself, let himself be a treacherous villain, Lin Tao would rather die than do such a dirty thing.
"Is there no other way back?"
Lin Tao looked at Li Ruiming and asked.
Li Ruiming shook his head and said, "I have already had a deep discussion with the No. 2 leader, there is no other way out, but the only one you can choose." ”
"What if I don't cooperate?"
Lin Tao stared at Li Ruiming with straight eyes, wanting to see something from Li Ruiming's expression. It's a pity, Li Ruiming is an old fritter in officialdom after all, and he has already practiced joy and anger, hearing Lin Tao say this, his expression still didn't fluctuate much, after glancing at Lin Tao, he said in a calm tone: "Lin Tao, you are still young, and you have a bright future, you shouldn't be rash, you can't imagine what kind of power the No. 2 leader has in his hands, he doesn't even need to do it himself, many people will fight to deal with you!" ”
Lin Tao has always eaten soft rather than hard, and Li Ruiming's words had a hint of threat in his words, which made Lin Tao very unhappy, so he sneered and asked Li Ruiming: "Uncle Li, does that No. 2 chief have any evidence of my crime?" ”
"Well...... this"
Before Li Ruiming finished speaking, Lin Tao continued: "Of course he didn't! Because I didn't sin at all, and since I didn't sin at all, why should I be afraid of him?! ”
"Lin Tao, why are you doing this!"
Li Ruiming saw that he was a little unconvinced by Lin Tao, and slowly became a little anxious, his brows wrinkled suddenly, and he said in an impatient tone: "It's just for you to identify a person who has used you, why do you hide it for her?" ”
"This is my principle and bottom line, let me be a whistleblower, I can't do it!"
"Lin Tao, you ......"
Li Ruiming was about to reprimand Lin Tao angrily, when the door of the box was suddenly knocked, and then, Li Chengcheng pushed open the door of the box and walked in, and said with a smile: "I want to serve food!" ”
Seeing that both of them had gloomy faces and didn't speak, Li Chengcheng was stunned for a moment and muttered, "Why is there something wrong with the atmosphere?" ”
Li Ruiming suddenly stood up from the sofa, looked down at Lin Tao, and said in a calm tone: "Xiao Tao, I like that you can think carefully about it, don't joke about your fate and future, call me when you think about it, I still have something to do, so I won't eat." ”
As he spoke, he looked at Li Chengcheng again and instructed, "Boss Li, my nephew, you are responsible for matching, and I still have some things to do first." ”
"It's already been served, can't you eat it before leaving?"
Li Ruiming waved his hand and said, "No need! ”
After speaking, he walked towards the outside of the box with his briefcase in all directions.
Lin Tao looked at Li Ruiming's back, his eyes gradually became sharp, it was obvious that Li Ruiming did not stand in the position of an intermediary in today's conversation, he was like a lobbyist for the second chief, and he had been lobbying Lin Tao to identify Chen Miao. When Lin Tao refused, Li Ruiming's anger made Lin Tao conclude that Li Ruiming must have reached some kind of agreement with the No. 2 leader, prompting Li Ruiming to stand on the side of the No. 2 leader.
"The situation is getting more and more serious!"
Lin Tao's face became solemn, and his eyes kept looking at the direction where Li Ruiming left.
Li Chengcheng stood aside and looked at Lin Tao twice, and asked cautiously, "Did you quarrel with your uncle?" ”
"Boss, do you like to gossip about other people's affairs so much?"
Lin Tao came back to his senses and said angrily.
Li Chengcheng pursed his lips and said, "I only gossip about the people I care about, and I don't bother to gossip if ordinary people want me to gossip!" ”
Lin Tao heard the flaw in Li Chengcheng's words, so he said with a smile: "You mean to say that Secretary Li is the person you care about?" ”
After all, Li Chengcheng is not a little girl who is not deeply involved in the world, and it is not Lin Tao who can say something casually, after listening to Lin Tao's question, Li Chengcheng suddenly covered his mouth and laughed, rolled his eyes at Lin Tao, and said: "I hate it, you want me to fall into your language trap, I'm not so stupid!" ”
"How about we swap them?"
"Exchange for what?" Li Chengcheng looked at Lin Tao curiously.
Lin Tao smiled: "Exchange information, you tell me your real relationship with Secretary Li, and I will also tell you, how about my real relationship with Secretary Li?" ”
Li Chengcheng raised his eyebrows and said: "Let's just say that Secretary Li and my husband were classmates in college, and the relationship between the two of them has always been good." ”
"No, what I want to know is your relationship with Secretary Li!"
"Nerves!" Li Chengcheng rolled his eyes and said, "What can I have to do with him?" Didn't I know him because of my husband's relationship? ”
Lin Tao deliberately lured the matter to ambiguity, and said with a smile: "Secretary Li is about the same age as your husband, and Secretary Li looks gentle and elegant, with style and high position, don't you have any other thoughts about him?" ”
Li Chengcheng's expression was a little unnatural when Lin Tao said, and he said with a wry expression: "What can you think, I am already married now, what else do you dare to think?" Speaking of this, she glanced at Lin Tao and said coquettishly: "You kid is really powerful, you haven't told me anything, you almost picked up my affairs first, hum, you are not honest, now it's your turn to tell me!" ”
Lin Tao pretended to be stupid and asked, "What did you tell you?" ”
Li Chengcheng said angrily: "What is the relationship between you and Secretary Li, don't try to cheat!" ”
Lin Tao said casually: "You guessed right, I am Li Ruiming's nephew!" ”
"Ah, really?"
Li Chengcheng's face was happy, and he suddenly became attentive, pulled Lin Tao's arm, and said with a smile: "Come and take a seat, the dishes are ready, today the boss and I will personally accompany you to eat and drink, and you will definitely be satisfied!" ”
