Chapter 176 Chen Shiwei's confidante
Not long after, with the sound of footsteps coming from the stairs, Chen Shiwei and a woman in her early thirties walked in.
"This is my good brother, Li Rui, director of the Coal Management Bureau, and this is Lin Yuzhu, the boss here." Chen Shiwei introduced with a smile.
Lin Yuzhu, Yuzhuxuan, it turns out that the name of the teahouse is the boss's name. Li Rui quickly stood up and shook hands with Lin Yuzhu to meet and greet.
"Director Li is so young, his future is limitless." Lin Yuzhu said this very sincerely. Her voice is very gentle and it is very helpful to hear it.
Chen Shiwei smiled and said, "The next sentence is very correct, and the previous sentence seems to have some subtext."
"You are the only one who is sensitive." Lin Yuzhu gave Chen Shiwei a white look and said coquettishly. She obviously had a coquettish element. Seeing Chen Shiwei accepting it, Li Rui saw that Lin Yuzhu's ambiguous look and immediately understood the relationship between the two.
"Is that right? Men's nerves are sometimes very sensitive. Don't think that only women are delicate in their hearts. Director Li is not only young, but also a handsome young man. He is a talented person. He likes girls the most." Lin Yuzhu smiled.
"Don't be happy with me when you flirt with each other?" Since he saw through it, Li Rui said openly.
Lin Yuzhu's pretty face was slightly red and she said, "Director Li is so concerned. For the first time you have come, I will use tea instead of wine to express it. You are welcome to take care of it often."
Li Rui picked up the teacup and raised it, saying, "I'm going to come if you don't say it. Your decoration here is very tasty and the environment is also good. My little sister's skills in making tea are even more unspeakable."
"It's good that Director Li thinks of it. Xiao Luo is a tea artist I specially invited from Jiangning. I am learning from her now." As she said that, she sat in the waiter's seat and helped them make strange tea. Although the movements were not as smooth as Xiao Luo's just now, they were also quite good. Li Rui and Chen Shiwei applauded repeatedly.
Lin Yuzhu served tea to the two of them, then stood up and said goodbye after a few more words, and went downstairs to take care of the business. Looking at her graceful back, Li Rui turned around and raised his thumbs up to Chen Shiwei and said, "Awesome, you've got all the shots, boss."
Chen Shiwei smiled proudly and whispered: "Li Rui, I tell you that it is normal for men to have one or two confidantes. If a woman like Lin Yuzhu is exposed to her for a long time, you will know what a real woman is."
Li Rui agrees with this. Just by looking at the decoration of the teahouse, you will know that Lin Yuzhu is not that kind of vulgar woman.
Chen Shiwei licked her lips and continued with deep feelings: "Look at her gentleness and elegance, what is even more rare is that she understands people. When she has difficulties and setbacks in her life, she can talk to her without hesitation. Since I met her, I have known what life is and what a confidant is. I even think that if a man only has a wife in his life, it is a big regret and a defective life. A man works hard outside and uses all his energy and physical strength. Having a wife raises children at home and takes care of the elderly is a must. However, if you want to fight outside, there will inevitably be ups and downs, success and failure, and there will be complacent and loss. Whether it is success or failure, pride or loss, someone will share and share with you. His wife is getting married.
In the first or two years of marriage, you can keep up with your thoughts and psychological needs and communicate with you. But once you have children, your wife gradually becomes unfamiliar. Her energy is transferred to her children, and 20% of her energy still has to be taken care of by half. So only 10% of her true understanding of you is 10%. When a man is about 30 years old, it is the rising period of his career, which is extremely critical. At this time, men need to share and understand it the most. Therefore, it is the most ideal to have one or two confidants. I have known Lin Yuzhu for ten years. In these ten years, she has given me the greatest comfort and help. In my psychology, she is as important as his wife. Without her, maybe I, Chen Shiwei, is still an unspoken person in the township."
Li Rui was a little shocked. He didn't expect that Chen Shiwei was so affectionate about Lin Yuzhu. At the same time, he also had a feeling that today Chen Shiwei brought him here and introduced Lin Yuzhu to him, without any concern about the relationship between the two, which shows that Chen Shiwei had truly accepted himself from the bottom of his heart and completely opened himself.
"So your struggle over the years is because of her?" Li Rui picked up the teacup and took a sip and asked.
Chen Shiwei nodded and said, "Do you know why the old county magistrate valued me so much? On the one hand, on the other hand, when I was competing for the Party Secretary of Qingshanquan Town, I was a bombshell. From then on, he has been admiring me."
What Chen Shiwei said is the most avoidable in the officialdom. Li Rui did not take the initiative to ask questions and quietly waited for his next sentence.
Chen Shiwei sighed: "At that time, I was just a small deputy secretary. I had no money, no power. And you also know my personality. What I hate the most is flattering. I had no hope in my life. After she contacted some people in the county, she learned that the old county magistrate valued money very much, so she said to me: Use the money to buy an official." As he said that, he explained: "This is not that I intend to slander the old county magistrate. The old county magistrate has kindness to me, and I will remember it all my life. I will tell the truth. You are my brother, and I trust you."
Li Rui didn't say anything, just gave him a look of affirmation.
Chen Shiwei nodded and said, "I was so worried when I heard this, but I had no money at that time. I wondered if I could buy the house, but where did my wife, son and parents live? I couldn't make up my mind. At this time, she took out her life's savings, which was 50,000 yuan! Eight years ago, what was the concept of 50,000 yuan? It was already amazing to spend a ten thousand yuan household at that time. I felt a little heartbroken and couldn't bear to let it go. Instead, she scolded me and said to me: 'The hero can cut off his arm, let alone paying only RMB. If you don't seize this opportunity, you will be cowardly in this life? If you are such a man, let's break up tomorrow.' I burst into tears on the spot. Li Rui, I, Chen Shiwei, are you a man?"
Li Rui nodded heavily and said, "Absolutely!"
"Since I was sensible, I never shed tears in my life, but I couldn't control that time. When I gave 50,000 yuan in cash to the old county magistrate, he was also surprised, because at that time the gift was only a few tens of thousands, tens of thousands, and 20,000 to 30,000 yuan. So although the competition for the position of Party Secretary of Qingshanquan Town was very fierce at that time, he still promoted me to the secretary regardless of the danger of offending Secretary Ji. At that time, many people speculated whether I had a relative relationship with him. At that time, Secretary Ji had just come to power, and his foundation was not yet solid, and he didn't want to have a conflict with the old county magistrate in this matter, but I knew that he was not my favorite at that time, so my relationship with him was still mediocre."
Li Rui sincerely praised: "I didn't expect that Boss Lin is really the middle school girl husband! She has more courage than you. She is really a Hongmao and Liang Hongyu."
"It can definitely be said that in my heart, she is more noble than Hongniang and Liang Hongyu, and is worthy of respect! It's like Xiao Fengxian in the soulmate. Alas, it's a pity that I am not as successful as General Cai E."
Damn! He really thought he was a hero! But the current atmosphere was not suitable for making such jokes. But Li Rui's evaluation of Chen Shiwei in his heart was a layered layer. A person who never forgets his affection is indeed a friend.
"What are you talking about?" Lin Yuzhu walked in with a smile. Li Rui looked carefully and found that the woman was indeed a kind of soft on the outside and strong on the inside. She said with emotion: "I didn't expect that Boss Lin would not follow the world, be elegant and noble, respectable and admirable!"
She smiled gracefully, and when she heard Li Rui's feelings, she guessed what Chen Shiwei said to him, and said with a smile: "Don't listen to him nonsense, I'm just a mediocre woman, no better than what you said."
Chen Shiwei said, "You are not only as good as Lu Chuan said, but you are also the person I, Chen Shiwei, cares the most in my life."
It is difficult for Chinese men to talk about love. Lin Yuzhu smiled satisfied when she heard Chen Shiwei say this and said pretentiously: "I haven't seen you as thick-skinned as you, this is the first time Director Li has met."
Chen Shiwei laughed indifferently and said, "He is my brother, what does it matter!"
Lin Yuzhu turned to look at Li Rui. Li Rui really admired her. Thinking that Chen Shiwei had a wife at home and called her sister-in-law inappropriate, he paused for a moment and picked up the teacup and said, "Sister Lin, I sincerely recognize you as my sister."
"Hehe... OK! I will recognize your brother too. Shiwei has a good attitude." She was very happy and picked up the teacup and Li Rui's cup and touched it gently.
It was a very happy thing, but Chen Shiwei sighed at this moment and said, "It's a pity that I still can't see some things!"
Li Rui knew that Chen Shiwei called him over today not just to introduce Lin Yuzhu to know him and drink tea. He told so much about his past, which should be a prelude to him. He must have something to say to him.
"Brother Chen, just say anything you have. What can we brothers not say? Let's make it clear!"
Chen Shiwei looked at Li Rui's eyes and said seriously: "I think the meeting was a bit over. I know that the grudge between you and Gou Fugui is that he didn't take you seriously when Du Jinsong was there? In fact, this is a trivial matter, why bother to be upset? You also know that Gou Fugui and I have always been in the wrong direction and it is impossible to plead for him. But Gou Fugui has been operating on the ground of Nanqiao for so long, from the county to the city, and the relationship is in all aspects. If you want to kill him with one punch, it is unrealistic! Gou Fugui is a tiger, and there are lions and wolves around this tiger. It takes skills to hit this tiger, otherwise they might be able to eat you..."
Li Rui heard it. He said that he offended Yang Liqing a bit too much at the Standing Committee meeting today. He wanted to explain a few words, but Chen Shiwei waved his hand at him and continued: "I know you have a good relationship with the above, but there are also a struggle above. The entanglement between you and a local rich man may be a very small thing in the eyes of Secretary Gao and Minister Guo. We cannot lose the big picture because of the small!"
Li Rui smiled and said, "Brother, you misunderstood. Do you think that County Magistrate Su came to participate in this Standing Committee today and asked him to support me? Let me tell you, it is not at all. In fact, I have prepared to make concessions. As long as the Changshan Coal Mine is rectified in place, he will start production and the fine will be cut by half. In fact, I am just about to tell you that Secretary Ji called me yesterday, and all the things I discussed with him today were discussed in advance. As for why County Magistrate Su appeared today, I don't know at all, let alone begging him to support me. However, his attendance at the meeting today reduced me a lot of pressure, otherwise I would have to say what he said. As for County Magistrate Yang... I won't say it anymore, I believe you understand."
Chen Shiwei said in shock: "You discussed with Secretary Ji yesterday? County Magistrate Su..."
"Haha, I don't want to guess this, nor do I want to guess it. Leaders all have ideas. No matter how we are, sometimes it's just a chess piece in the hands of the leader! And if someone wants to be this chess piece, the leader may not be able to take a look at it."
"Hahaha... I'm right! Oh, I said brother, if you told me earlier, I wouldn't worry about it anymore, and I was worried for nothing. Today, County Magistrate Yang's face... I'm really worried about you."
"Brother is joking, I know you are also thinking about me. Secretary Ji told me yesterday that you are the old land of Nanqiao, so I will ask you for advice if I have any questions in the future."
"Is that so? Hahaha, Secretary Ji really respects me, Lao Chen. Don't be polite, you and my brother, if you have any questions in the future, everyone will discuss with each other. The two of them are much more thoughtful than the other."
In fact, Li Rui still understands Chen Shiwei very well. The reason why he is so anxious is that he is a widow sleeping - no one above, and he has not been able to go up this time. He feels particularly distressed. County Magistrate Yang Liqing is not reliable. Now the only life-saving straw is Ji Faling. However, because he was once the old county magistrate, Ji Faling is always lukewarm to him. Last time, he nodded his head completely to care about Guo Wending's face. Now he can only place his hope on himself. It must be for this purpose that he deliberately made friends with him, so he does not want to see any mistakes.
As soon as he went to work the next day, Li Rui called Xie Caigen and Ma Xuejun to the office. After conveying the decision of the Standing Committee, he said to Ma Xuejun: "Old Ma, you first plan for Changshan Coal Mine. Each step is planned to resume production within ten days. You must list a timetable and the technician in the bureau can transfer it. This is the first point; second, before the resumption notice is issued, the illegal income of 400,000 yuan and the fine of 400,000 yuan must be paid first; third, the supervision of Changshan Coal Mine in the future will be strengthened, and all rectifications will be completed within three months. After the plan is formed, the official documents of the Coal Management Bureau will be submitted to the county party committee, county people's congress, county government and county CPPCC each."
Ma Xuejun agreed one by one, and at the end he said depressedly: "Director Li, the fine was reduced by half at once. Is it too serious to shrink?"
"Seriously? You didn't see County Mayor Yang's attitude. It's too much for 40,000 yuan."
Old Xie was still relatively clear-headed and said, "Don't think it's too little. 800,000 yuan will be included in the Coal Management Bureau. The penalty of 120 million yuan will be all over the finance department. It's useless to our Coal Management Bureau. Do you want to buy a car? I don't have to think about it. I said Director Li is so smart."
"Hahaha... Lao Xie, I see that you can't even pull out the money. By the way, have you said hello to Secretary Xu?"
"I said that if you don't get money from him, he will not be happy. And after you buy the car, you can use it in the countryside."
Ma Xuejun also kept nodding and said, "Chairman Xie is right, this time the car has a place."
"Don't be too happy too early. The vehicle establishment of the Coal Management Bureau has already been full. If you want to buy a car, you have to find another way." Lao Xie couldn't help dialing the cold water channel, and then he said to Li Rui: "Director Li, can you say hello to Director Hou and ask the Control Office to give us another vehicle indicator."
If Lao Xie didn't remind Li Rui that he almost forgot this, buying a car is not a casual thing these days, and he has to be approved by the control office. The full name of this control office is "Office of Controlling the Purchasing Power of Social Groups", which is located under the Finance Bureau. Whether it is an institution or an enterprise or an institution, if you want to buy a car, you have to go through the control office for approval, and there are strict quantity restrictions.
Li Rui thought about it and he had troubled Hou Weidong a lot of things during this period, including asking for money for the industrial park last time and returning the full amount of the fine and confiscation. If he went to find him again, it would be a little ignorant. Moreover, if this favor is owed to the future, it will be a problem.
"You think about whether there are any other ways. Money is not a problem. There are already 200,000 yuan in the account."
Lao Xie thought for a while and said, "If it really doesn't work, you can try it with the municipal bureau. They have more indicators and more cars. Even if we can't give us an indicator, it's okay to get an old car and scrap it."
"Yes! Lao Ma, aren't you going to the municipal bureau to hire experts tomorrow? Why don't you go directly to the Municipal Bureau Law Enforcement Corps and ask them for help?" Li Rui slapped his thigh.
"Okay!" Ma Xuejun went out happily.
Li Rui chatted with Lao Xie for a while. He was mainly concerned about what happened at the Standing Committee yesterday. Li Rui briefly told him. Lao Xie's specialties are mainly in the lower level. He has some shortcomings at the county level. He has heard of it and cannot put forward any constructive opinions. However, Li Rui is not short of high-level actors now. Chen Shiwei is a ready-made candidate. Lao Xie in the bureau is relieved to see him.
"You urge Lao Ma to get the fine as soon as possible. This time Hou Weidong helped him say a lot, so he would have to be more indifferent at that time." Li Rui said to him in a low voice.
"This is what you deserve, and you have the final say." Lao Xie nodded quickly.
"No hurry, wait until the money is received."
The next afternoon, Ma Xuejun came back happily to report: "Director Li, the matter is done."
"Haha, so smooth! What should I do?"
Ma Xuejun sat down and reported: "I found the Niu Corps of the Municipal Bureau and said what you meant. He was very supportive and willing to hand over an old car on the team to us with the license plate."
"Good thing, come back early and apply for scrapping when you get it. You can do it right here in the Niu Corps. Don't forget to get angry with Lao Xie. By the way, how is the expert's work done?"
"It's all done. I also met Director Qiao, and Director Qiao said he wanted to come down and make a trip."
Li Rui pondered for a while and said, "Instead of waiting for his decision, we might as well ask him to come and check the work and report the situation in the bureau by the way."
Qiao Xiaoshu is a good person and has a good reputation in the city. In addition, he is an expert leader and the position of director of the Municipal Coal Management Bureau is very reliable. Li Rui feels that it is necessary to deepen contact with him. No matter whether he is in the position of director of the Nanqiao Coal Management Bureau in the future, even if he goes to Qingshanquan Town to be the secretary, this coal chemical industry park will inevitably have to deal with the municipal bureau.
Ma Xuejun nodded repeatedly and said, "This is better and more proactive. It is best to wait until the rectification of Changshan Coal Mine has come to an end before going to invite him."
"I mean that, you should come up with a rectification plan as soon as possible, and I will report to Secretary Ji."
"Please be completed tomorrow."
To get a car for Ma Xuejun's law enforcement team, you have to go through the Party Committee meeting. Although the Coal Management Bureau has long become his one-man show, Li Rui is still worried that someone will have any objections. Before the meeting, he and He Xianqun were in a relationship. He Xianqun is now mainly responsible for the construction of the industrial park. He is full of energy and is grateful to Li Rui. He did not hesitate at all when he heard about this and said, "I have no objection to this decision. It is originally a job to get a small car. The law enforcement brigade is indeed in urgent need of a transportation vehicle now."
As long as He Xianqun has no objection, others cannot say anything. As for Zhou Jian, he has long become a transparent person in the bureau. According to Geng Zhongchen, he is still secretly making transfers in private. Now, as long as Zhou Jian does not make trouble, Li Rui will not care about him.
Chapter completed!
