Bai Bing naughtily scratched Li Rui's arm with his foot, and said, "Hey, we are about the same age, you tell me the truth, am I not beautiful? Bai Bing sat up strangely, crossed his thighs, and asked, "You can be clear, isn't it enough to be beautiful?" Li Rui said: "Men like beautiful women, but it depends on what kind of man." For example, take your brother and me as an example, your brother and I have never seen any beautiful women, and the requirements are relatively low, give me a beautiful woman and I will be so beautiful. However, for the kind of man who reads all the beautiful women, the allure of skin relative to them is not as high as you think. At this time, if you want to attract such sophisticated men, either you have special talents, or you have an unstoppable personality, or you are very coquettish and debauched, so you may be able to attract them. ”

Bai Bing seemed to understand something, and nodded again and again.

Li Rui said: "Since you said so, I will simply gossip, sister, there are so many young handsome guys you don't like, why do you like an old man like Governor Lu? Hehe, of course, you must not tell him this." Bai Bing said: "He also asked me so, I don't know, maybe I have a father-love plot, right? Girls don't all have father-love plots, maybe mine is heavier." Li Rui nodded and said, "I understand, in fact, you are still immature and don't know what you want." Bai Bing said as if he didn't understand: "Well, you're right, I'm an immature ......" said, with a confused look on his face.

Li Rui looked at her for a while, and said in his heart that a beauty is a beauty, and even when she was confused, she looked so beautiful and moving, and praised: "Governor Lu is really amazing, I can bear to face your stunning color." If it were me, there would be no bones left for me to eat. Bai Bing giggled when he heard this, scratched him with his foot, and said, "It turns out that my brother is a big selang." Li Rui pretended to push her feet away, and touched it hypocritically, feeling extremely greasy and slippery, and the feel was better than Yuan Jingjing's beautiful feet, of course, this is also understandable, she is much younger than Yuan Jingjing, and said: "Sister, just now Governor Lu asked me to accompany you more, I would like to, but I may not have much time." Don't be angry if I come less often. Bai Bing sighed faintly and said, "You didn't understand what he meant, it is secondary to let you accompany me to relieve my boredom, the key is that he wants to get rid of me, so he deliberately pushed me forward to you, wanting me to be slowly attracted to you, so as to let him go." ”

Li Rui couldn't believe his ears when he heard it, and said, "Won't it?" Bai Bing said with a bleak face: "I love him so much, but he is not moved by me at all, and only treats me as a child who has not grown up...... He's getting more and more annoying about me, and I've seen it for a long time. Now, I finally have a young man like you in my life, and he can be regarded as finding a replacement, so he naturally wants to push me to you. Alas, he is so ruthless. Li Rui said: "But are we godbrothers and sisters?" Bai Bing suddenly raised his hand and hit him, and said with a sneer: "Die, what are you thinking, do you really think I will like you? You, you can only treat me as a godsister in the future. Li Rui laughed twice, and couldn't help but feel a little lost.

When Li Rui returned to Song Chaoyang's house, it was already five o'clock.

Song Chaoyang smiled when he saw him: "You have a big face, Qingman called me directly to ask for someone." Li Rui understood the meaning of his words, and said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry boss, in fact, I don't want to affect your arrangement......" Song Chaoyang waved his hand and said, "You don't have to say it." Originally, I planned to rush back to Qingyang tomorrow morning, and I didn't think about getting up early. Don't say an hour, two hours can make room for you. You can have a good rest tonight, and tomorrow, you will go to see Qingman's father with a hundred times more energy. Li Rui said gratefully: "Thank you." ”

After dinner in the evening, Lao Zhou drove and the three of them drove to the compound of the provincial party committee. Song Chaoyang didn't say which provincial leader he was reporting to, but he thought that he was either the provincial secretary or the governor.

There are armed police standing guard at the gate of the provincial party committee compound, and the No. 1 car of the municipal party committee can eat anywhere in Qingyang City, but it is nothing here, and it is ruthlessly stopped outside by the armed police.

Li Rui also felt the solemn momentum of the leaders of the provincial party committee for the first time, and secretly thought to himself in his heart, not knowing if Lu Zhouxing lived here. As a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and executive vice governor, it should be no problem for him to live here. If he lives here, will he be able to meet him tonight?

After the car arrived at the door of the big house where the leader lived, Song Chaoyang motioned to Li Rui and Lao Zhou to bring the local specialties brought from Qingyang, such as pecans, to the yard.

A middle-aged woman who looked like a nanny led the two to put things in the house, and the secretary took Song Chaoyang directly to the second floor to meet the leader.

Li Rui didn't know what Song Chaoyang reported to the leaders upstairs, and sat in the living room drinking tea with Lao Zhou. After a while, the secretary walked down, met the two, introduced himself, and admitted that his name was "Shi Peide". The man had a short flat head, was in his thirties and less than forty, wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and looked very accessible.

are also secretaries, and even Li Rui feels that he is more handsome and stylish than this Shi Peide, but standing in front of him, he invisibly feels a coercion. This kind of coercion certainly comes from the directorate-level leader standing behind the other party, and it also comes from the graceful bearing that the other party has experienced.

Li Rui was secretly heartbroken and talked to him wholeheartedly. Shi Peide didn't look down on people, and chatted politely with him for a while. When it was over, Li Rui had to say some polite words, such as "Director Shi, when you arrive in Qingyang in the future, you must call me and let my brother do his best to be a landlord." Shi Peide agreed with a smile, but never asked him for a phone number.

Li Rui also understood in his heart that he was the secretary of the provincial party committee leader, and he had his eyes on the entire Shannan Province, and at worst Jingnan City, how could he afford to look down on himself as a native bun from Qingyang City? Not to mention whether he would come to Qingyang in the future, even if he did, the city leaders would personally entertain him.

Song Chaoyang stayed upstairs for more than half an hour before coming down, his expression was the same as usual, gentle and indifferent, not happy or sad, naturally there was no way to know whether he was praised or criticized.

Shi Peide sent the three out. Drive back to Song Chaoyang's home.

That night, Lao Zhou and Li Rui stayed at Song Chaoyang's house.

Before going to bed, Li Rui thought about seeing Lu Qingman's father tomorrow morning, and was a little nervous, so he called her and asked carefully.

Lu Qingman said: "I told my father about you, and he agreed to see you." Li Rui said excitedly: "Yes, that's good, where will I see you tomorrow?" Lu Qingman said: "At my house, I will send you the address by text message later, and you can just take a taxi to come over." Li Rui said: "The first time I met my uncle, am I going to do something?" Lu Qingman smiled and said, "No, who knows if you can pass the test." If you can't pass the test, won't you spend money in vain?" Li Rui also laughed, but he was very nervous, and said: "Do you think the probability of me passing the test is great?" Lu Qingman said: "Don't you have confidence?" Li Rui said: "I have confidence in front of you, but in front of your father, I don't have any confidence at all, after all, I haven't seen or dealt with it, I don't know what kind of person your father is." Lu Qingman said: "My dad is very good and loves me very much, and basically respects my opinion." Li Rui asked, "Then what is your opinion?" Lu Qingman was so ashamed that he stopped talking, and said half-loudly: "Let's talk about it tomorrow." With that, he hung up.

Hanging up the phone, Li Rui saw Lao Zhou smiling, so he asked with a smile: "Brother Zhou, how can I officially meet my parents tomorrow, should I buy some gifts?" Lao Zhou said: "It's not appropriate not to buy it, and it's not appropriate to buy too much." You can just buy two kinds of fruit and go over. Li Rui praised: "Brother is brother, experience is rich." Okay, I'll listen to you, buy fruit tomorrow. ”

On Sunday morning, before leaving, Song Chaoyang asked with a smile: "Xiao Rui, are you nervous?" Li Rui said: "A little, but it's not powerful." Qingman is such a gentle woman, her father must also be a good talker. Song Chaoyang laughed and said, "Well, don't be nervous, just give full play to your true strength, and let Qingman's father see how good his daughter's choice is." ”

Song Chaoyang asked Lao Zhou to send Li Rui to Lu Qingman's house, but Li Rui remembered the Secretary-General's teachings and did not dare to publicize it, so he refused Song Chaoyang's kindness and took a taxi himself. When the car arrived at the gate of the community, he went to the roadside fruit supermarket to buy a few fruits, and then went to the community.

When he came to the door of Lu Qingman's house, Li Rui took a deep breath, and with a harmless smile on his face, he pressed the doorbell. Not long after the doorbell rang, Lu Qingman opened the door. The two looked at each other inside and outside, and they couldn't hide their love for each other, and a sincere smile appeared on their faces.

"Oh, didn't you buy something, why did you buy it anyway?"

Lu Qingman complained and took the fruit from him, closed the door, and guided him to the living room.

The living room was empty.

Li Rui wondered, "Hasn't Uncle come yet?" Lu Qingman smiled: "Who told you to come so early? But yes, he's coming over soon." You sit down first, and I'll make you tea. Li Rui hurriedly said: "No, don't bother, Qingman, don't be busy, come and sit down and rest for a while." ”
