Two days later, the provincial party committee formally issued a document and sent a deputy director of the Organization Department to Pengcheng to announce the appointment of He Yunzhi and Guo Wending, and at the same time appointed a deputy mayor.

Considering that Guo Wending had just been appointed, Li Rui did not disturb him immediately. The redness and swelling on his face had almost disappeared. Li Rui went to work normally after resting for four days. During this period, Gao Jie did not call, and Li Rui did not call him. It would be best if there was a buffering period, and at the same time, it was to keep a certain distance.

Since Guo Wending was promoted to member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Minister of Organization, Li Rui found that after work, his attitude towards him had changed more or less, and more people were approaching him. Even Liang Yongqiu, the deputy director who had always disliked him, talked to him specifically, and he was encouraged in his words.

Since Li Rui has decided to leave, he has changed his previous arrogance and gets along well with his colleagues. Even if he hears some discordant words, he doesn't care.

On the weekend, Li Rui felt that it was almost done, so he took the initiative to call Guo Wending. To be honest, why did Li Rui take Guo Wending seriously before? Unless there was something wrong, he rarely called him. However, Guo Wending often called to ask about the situation. When there was a conflict with Xue Feng last time, Li Rui had not had time to thank Guo Wending. Although Guo Wending did not call this time, he still asked his secretary Yao Lei to ask about some of the situation after the incident.

On the phone, Li Rui could hear that Guo Wending was in a good mood. People were in a happy mood during happy events! When he heard Li Rui ask for a congratulations, Guo Wending thought about it for a moment and enthusiastically invited him to come over on Sunday morning and have a simple meal together.

Since you can't go empty-handed, right? Tobacco and alcohol are too vulgar, and Guo Wending is not short of this thing. After thinking about it, Li Rui decided to take a statue of Zizai Guanyin in Dehua white porcelain that he invited in Panjiayuan, Yanjing, a few years ago.

Li Rui's grandfather likes to collect and has been slutty since he was a child. Li Rui is still very interested in this. The big box in the small living room of the dormitory is all kinds of things he has collected over the years.

This statue of Liberated Guanyin is about 20 centimeters tall, with a heavy body, white and solid body, with white glaze on the outside, and the glaze is pure and ivory white. The inner wall is half glaze, the body is exposed at the bottom, the body is firm and thin, and the back is stamped with four seals of the intimate seal "Lin Xizong Seal".

Lin Xizong was the master of white porcelain carvings in the late Ming Dynasty after He Chaozong. The Guanyin he carved showed its quiet, beautiful and gentle charm with the delicate texture and unique ivory white of Dehua porcelain. It is simple and elegant, with smooth clothes, vivid expressions, and realistic image.

When I invited it, I was considered a flaw and only spent more than 10,000 yuan. However, in the early 1990s, Dehua white porcelain was far from as popular as those born in the ten or twenty years. He Chaozong's works were often millions, and Lin Xizong's works were also tens or millions. If Guo Wending knew the goods and preserved them well, he would still make a fortune in the future.

Guo Wending's home was not in the family courtyard of the municipal government where Li Rui lived. The family courtyard where Li Rui lived was built during a special period and was relatively outdated. Later, with the increase of personnel, more than a dozen buildings were built by the Pengshui River in the late 1980s as a new family courtyard. However, there were twenty small Su-style villas behind the old family, and most of the leaders at the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee still lived here.

Guo Wending's home is on the ground floor, with a three-bedroom and one living room, with a layout of more than 90 square meters. Although the area is not large, the room type of such a house was already quite good at that time.

This is the first time Li Rui has been to Guo Wending's house. Although Guo Wending's lover Wu Qiaozhen has never met Li Rui, he also knows that Li Rui is the son of the third son of the Zhang family. Moreover, this time Guo Wending can be promoted due to the support of the Zhang family. Wu Qiaozhen showed great enthusiasm and treated Li Rui as his nephew, held his hand and asked for it. Seeing that Li Rui was holding a box in his hand, he said angrily: "You child either don't come, what else can you get when you come!"

"Aunt Wu, it's just a white porcelain Guanyin. I saw that I had a good look and congratulations on Uncle Guo's promotion and wealth." Li Rui smiled and did not treat himself as an outsider at all.

"I'm not going to get rich, this is a mistake." Wu Qiaozhen was also very happy. Although she had heard a lot of rumors about Li Rui before, she had a good first impression of this funny and polite young man in front of her.

"Li Rui is here."

The door of the study opened, Guo Wending walked out, and a middle-aged man in his early forties followed behind him.

When Li Rui came, he was still thinking that Guo Wending had just been promoted and was the Organization Minister who held the power. He must have a lot of guests at home. He didn't expect that he would be so deserted. It seems that Guo Wending was paying attention to this. However, the middle-aged man in front of him is very likely to be Guo Wending's confidant.

"This is Su Zhiqiang, executive deputy county magistrate of Nanqiao County. Zhiqiang, and this is Li Rui, deputy director of the Industrial Department of the Municipal Planning Commission." Guo Wending introduced that the two knew each other.

When Li Rui heard this, his eyes lit up. He was planning to transfer to Nanqiao to work. He hurriedly held Su Zhiqiang's hand and said politely: "Hello, County Magistrate Su."

"Director Li." Su Zhiqiang also smiled very friendly and nodded.

Sitting down on the sofa in the living room, Guo Wending pointed to the box that Li Rui placed on the table and said, "I blocked the gift from Zhiqiang from the door. You are breaking my rules."

At this time, Wu Qiaozhen came over with the brewed tea: "I was just saying that this child either doesn't come, but this rare time he even brought something with him."

Li Rui opened the box with a smile, uncovered the wrapped yellow cloth, and placed the white porcelain Guanyin directly in the decorative cabinet in the living room. "Uncle Guo took office, how can I not be more filial to me?"

"You!" Guo Wending pointed at Li Rui and laughed, but he was wondering, why did this kid become so good at speaking?

Su Zhiqiang didn't know what the relationship between Li Rui and Guo Wending was, but from the intimate attitude of the couple towards him and the fact that they had no intention of rejecting the gifts they gave, he guessed that Li Rui might be their junior and had a very close relationship with them, otherwise he would have been the deputy director of the Planning Commission at a young age.

"Director Li is really young and promising." Su Zhiqiang said politely with a smile.

On the one hand, Li Rui also intended to show his intimacy with Guo Wending's family in front of Su Zhiqiang, and said with a smile: "County Magistrate Su, don't be so polite. I, as a deputy director, am just a section-level cadre, and you are the real deputy director."

"You guys talk, I'll go to the kitchen to cook." Wu Qiaozhen greeted. After Li Rui noticed that he took out the Guanyin bottle, Wu Qiaozhen kept staring at him, but because there was a customer, he didn't take it in his hand and looked carefully. It seemed that someone was still aware of the goods.

Li Rui also secretly observed the reactions of Guo Wending and Su Zhiqiang. They didn't seem to care much. Thinking about the grassroots leading cadres in the early 1990s who were probably limited to gifts tobacco, alcohol and cash, and they had no knowledge of high-end goods such as antiques.

The three of them sat in the living room and chatted about some topics. Li Rui was not very clear about the previous relationship between Guo Wending and Su Zhiqiang. When Guo Wending introduced them to them, he only briefly explained his work unit and position. As for the relationship between the two parties, the degree of understanding was quite vague. This may be the art of speaking for those in high positions.

Li Rui said very little, and sat there listening to Guo Wending and Su Zhiqiang chatting. However, Su Zhiqiang took the initiative to bring the topic to Li Rui: "I heard that part of the provincial budget funds have been suspended in the second half of the year?"

Reviewing and supervising the central and provincial budget funding projects is one of the main responsibilities of the Planning Commission. Su Zhiqiang raised this topic and was also a matter of having nothing to say and not neglecting Li Rui.

However, Su Zhiqiang's sense of smell is still quite sensitive. The central government just issued the "Opinions on the Current Economic Situation and Strengthening Macroeconomic Control" at the end of last month. It mainly tightens monetary policy, controls overcapacity, and prevents economic overheating. Re-examines the projects under construction and strictly controls new projects, which has affected the issuance of funds within the original budget of the central and provincial finances.

"At present, our Planning Commission is organizing the study, and the specific project has not been decided yet, but it is certain that the part of the budget funds will be suspended." Li Rui said.

"The central government has taken measures to re-examine the special budget funds projects in the second half of the year, but the province has not yet concluded. How can you be so sure?" Guo Wending frowned. Although he is the Minister of Organization, he was still the deputy mayor a few days ago, and he is quite familiar with these situations. Generally, there are policies and countermeasures at the top. If the local government wants to maintain economic growth, sometimes he has to play some edge balls.

Li Rui sneered in his heart: The main operator of this year's macro-control is the newly appointed Executive Vice Premier of the State Council, Hong Tai. With Hong Tai's tough style, it is impossible for local governments to lie and fight against the edge. The scale of this macro-control is unprecedented. Not only does it personally serve as the governor of the central bank and strictly control currency issuance, but a large number of projects and development zones that are not only built without realism, but also clean up a large number of duplicate construction projects and development zones, thus greatly suppressing economic overheating.

Li Rui said: "I think the central government has made up its mind this time. I guess the next step is to send a working group to supervise the implementation of various macro-control policies."

This sentence came from Li Rui's mouth, and Guo Wending had to pay attention. His uncle Zhang Jianxin was the deputy director of the State Planning Commission. It was not impossible to know this kind of news in advance. He was a little puzzled, but then he felt relieved. Although Li Rui was abandoned, he could not rule out that he had received this kind of news from other family members.

Guo Wending pondered for a moment and said, "Li Rui's words make sense. Zhiqiang, you must also be mentally prepared in this regard. Several projects in your county will probably be affected."

Su Zhiqiang was surprised, but nodded repeatedly and said, "I will make some preparations for this aspect after I go back to avoid being caught off guard." He looked at Li Rui and wanted to give a few compliments, but when he thought of the objection raised by Guo Wending, he closed his mouth to avoid offending the leader.

Li Ruize took the opportunity to say, "Uncle Guo, I want to be transferred to the county below to work."

"Why?" Guo Wending said in surprise, "Is there something unpleasant about work? Or are there other factors?"

Li Rui knew that the other factor Guo Wending mentioned was the conflict with Xue Feng a few days ago. He shook it and deliberately felt grateful and ashamed, saying: "During the time I was transferred to Pengcheng, I was taken care of by Uncle Guo, which has also caused you a lot of trouble. I also found that I lacked a lot of things, had a little irritable temper, and had a little impulsive work. It is very beneficial to go to the grassroots to exercise and hone yourself."

Li Rui brought too many surprises to Guo Wending today, and his mind was also turning rapidly. This kid actually wanted to work at the grassroots level. If the sun hadn't come out from the west, he might have really wanted to develop in his career. Thinking of Cui Ji'an's attitude, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful to Li Rui.

"Which county did you want to work?" Guo Wending did not give the answer immediately. Since this kid had plans for this, he must have a good choice.

Li Rui looked at Su Zhiqiang and smiled and said, "I want to work in Nanqiao County. After all, it is my hometown, and I am a little familiar with all aspects of the situation."

"Oh, I almost forgot that your grandfather, Dean Li, is from Nanqiao, and you are also considered." Guo Wending laughed, "But let me consider this matter."

Li Rui knew that Guo Wending wanted to ask his sister-in-law for his opinion. Li Rui was not worried that her sister would object because he was determined to convince her sister-in-law.

"County Magistrate Su, maybe I will be at your office in a while, and I will ask you to take care of you at that time." Li Rui smiled at Su Zhiqiang.
