"You kid, you can't say anything nice with that mouth!" A rough voice sounded from behind Liu Bin, followed by a big hand stroking his head.
While Lu Rui was stunned, Liu Bin rolled his eyes helplessly and muttered: "Uncle, can you stop bullying me?"
A middle-aged man in his thirties stood behind Liu Bin and Lu Rui. He was wearing a military uniform and carrying a golden epaulette on his shoulders with red trim on both sides. The base of the epaulette was decorated with two thin red bars and two gold epaulettes.
Star emblem.
"Lieutenant Colonel!" Lu Rui just sighed when he heard Liu Bin glance at the man's dress and said with a smile: "Uncle, have you been promoted again? The last time I saw you, you were still a major.
.”
The man Liu Bin called uncle shook his head helplessly: "Sister, I will be angry again when I see you like this. Well, come home with me."
Liu Bin shook his head: "Wait a minute, I'm sending my friend away."
As he spoke, he smiled at Lu Rui and said: "This is my brother-in-law Yang Baiju, from the Political Department of the Xichuan Military Region." Then he pointed to Lu Rui and said to Yang Baiju: "This is my brother Lu Rui, the county committee of Dahong County, Province G.
vice***."
Hearing this, Yang Baiju glanced at Lu Rui in slight surprise, then nodded and said: "Since you are Xiaobin's friend, you are my friend. Come and sit at home when you have time."
Lu Rui nodded respectfully and said, "Thank you."
Yang Baiju raised his eyebrows and suddenly smiled: "You two are not coming back to attend the engagement party of that boy from the old Zhang family, are you?"
With a smile, Liu Bin said: "Uncle, you are so smart. That guy Tianhao is working with me now, and he has a good relationship with Lu Rui, so we came here together. By the way, why are you running away?
Come and pick me up inside?"
A strange expression appeared on Yang Baiju's face, and he coughed dryly and said: "Binzi, um, did your mother tell you who came to Shangguan's family this time?"
Liu Bin was stunned, looked at Yang Baiju strangely, and said cautiously: "Uncle, what do you mean..."
With a smile, Yang Baiju nodded and said: "I'm picking up Shangguan Ruoxue, uh, your fiancée, but I heard that she came here with her sister. Hey, hey... what are you running about?"
, he stretched out his hand to grab Liu Bin's clothes.
Liu Bin had no intention of stopping at all. He pulled Lu Rui to pick up his luggage and ran away. As he ran, he said, "Uncle, just pretend you haven't seen me."
The confused Lu Rui was involuntarily pulled out of the airport by Liu Bin, and only had time to wave to Yang Baiju.
After leaving the airport, I saw Zhang Tianhao waiting eagerly in the distance. Before he could say anything, Liu Bin pulled Zhang Tianhao into the car and urged: "Go quickly, go quickly!"
Zhang Tianhao was stunned, thinking that Liu Bin and Liu Bin had a conflict with someone at the airport, but he heard Lu Rui say in a joking tone: "Brother Zhang, Brother Liu's fiancée is coming."
"What?" Zhang Tianhao was stunned when he heard this, and then burst out laughing. While urging the driver to drive, he said with a smile: "Liu Bin, Liu Bin, you have today too."
Liu Bin looked sad and didn't say anything, just sighing.
Lu Rui and Zhang Tianhao didn't care about that. After laughing and chatting for a while, Zhang Tianhao looked at Lu Rui and said, "I'll arrange for you to stay here first. The engagement party will be the day after tomorrow. I'll treat you tonight. Let's go there in a nice way."
Lu Rui held the special cigarette between his fingers, blew out a smoke ring and nodded: "Okay, now that we are here, I will listen to you, Brother Zhang, but does your family agree? Don't cause any trouble for you." He
These words are not without purpose. If Zhang Tianhao's fiancée is a powerful character, and Zhang Tianhao is still hanging out with his gang just before he gets engaged, it seems not good to spread the word.
Waving his hands, Zhang Tianhao said calmly: "We have talked about it. Since there is no way to change the family marriage, let's go our separate ways, just to make the old people feel at ease."
Lu Rui and Liu Bin looked at each other, sighed and said nothing.
The car drove slowly and entered the Xichuan Military Region compound with the vigilant gaze of the sentries. In the military region compound, which seemed somewhat mysterious to outsiders, what Lu Rui saw was as tall and tall as a tough soldier.
The majestic trees, the spacious continent, and the solemn military camp seem to be able to penetrate the glass barrier in the car, and a heroic spirit of iron and steel comes out. It has to be said that staying in such a place has a great impact on everyone's spirit.
The oppression on the world is self-evident.
Don't forget, anyone who can live here has at least one gold star on his shoulder.
The Spring Festival is approaching, and it is the end of the year, so there are more and more people in the military compound. More than a dozen general buildings with white walls and red tiles are lined up in the military's unique neat formation, hidden in the rich green, especially
The green lawn behind the small building is at least three times as big as the Hai'an Municipal Government Square, the largest in Lu Rui's impression. Even if Lu Rui looks at it from the perspective of more than ten years of advanced development, the layout and structure here can be called
It's simple but not simple, as if every corner hides the unforgettable and prosperous years of the generals' past.
Lu Rui did not rest at Zhang Tianhao's house. According to Zhang Tianhao, the house is now in a mess. It's either a relative or a friend. The old man has to drink with others. It can be seen that the people who come here have different identities. If it is not by
When the opportunity to pick him up at the airport came up, he would have to continue to suffer.
Lu Rui and Liu Bin clearly expressed disbelief in what this guy said. It was very possible that this guy took the opportunity to sneak away.
"Lu Rui, you can rest here first. I will pick you up in the evening." Zhang Tianhao opened a room in the military area guest house and smiled at Lu Rui.
Lu Rui nodded: "Brother Zhang, please go and get busy beforehand. I happen to be tired too, so take a good rest."
Liu Bin smiled at the side and said, "Don't worry, just leave this kid to me."
Unexpectedly, Zhang Tianhao chuckled, grabbed his hand and said: "You think so well, come on, come back with me to help. I'm engaged, and I ran away from you."
Liu Bin was helplessly dragged away by him.
Lying on the soft Simmons bed, Lu Rui rested his head on his arms and thought silently in his mind.
The situation in Dahong County is now complicated. I just had a brief exchange with Zhang Tianhao about Li Xiujun’s recent movements. Zhang Tianhao meant to replace Li Xiujun and find a way to replace him with one of his own. They also knew very well that Lu Rui’s qualifications and
Age is always an issue, so you can only choose someone else.
According to Zhang Tianhao's idea, he planned to send a deputy secretary-general from the municipal government office. That person had been in the agency for more than ten years and was the first among the deputy secretaries-general of the municipal government to lean towards Zhang Tianhao. What Zhang Tianhao meant this time
, and also let him get rewards.
But Lu Rui didn't think so. He felt that Li Xiujun was the most suitable candidate now. First, Li Xiujun was put aside by Tao Yuqiang. Among the newly added candidates for the Standing Committee, Wang Maode and Gu Tonghui had nothing to do with Li Xiujun. They
He is still alone, and the most important thing is that among the thirteen standing committee members, Lu Rui and Tao Yuqiang have each won six people. The person in the position of county magistrate has become the one who controls the situation of the standing committee. And Tao Yuqiang has a rift with him.
Li Xiujun is undoubtedly Lu Rui's favorite candidate.
Second, although Li Xiujun has no ability, he has some advantages. This guy strictly abides by the instructions of his superiors, especially the instructions of the provincial party committee leaders. Even though he had reached an agreement with Tao Yuqiang a few days ago, but after Meng Qingfeng
Regarding the specialty vegetable planting project that the deputy county magistrate was responsible for, he did not make any embarrassment at all, and directly told Fu Zhongyuan, the executive deputy magistrate who was trying to embarrass Meng Qingfeng, that this project was valued by the leaders of the provincial party committee, and we in Dahong County must
Strictly implement the instructions of the provincial party committee leaders.
Lu Rui knew Li Xiujun's thoughts very well. He was afraid that if the provincial party committee leaders remembered the incident afterwards, he would take responsibility. With such a person here, Lu Rui believed that he could fully control the situation in Dahong County.
It's just that I can't tell Zhang Tianhao about this matter yet. After all, he is busy with the engagement. He will explain it in detail later when he returns to Bifang City.
After flying for several hours, Lu Rui was really tired and fell asleep on the bed.
"Dong dong dong!" A knock on the door woke Lu Rui up from his sleep. He raised his head and glanced in the direction of the window, only to find that it was already dark. He shook his head and smiled bitterly. He raised his hand and looked at the tattoo on his wrist.
Looking at his watch, Lu Rui suddenly realized that he had been talking for six or seven hours.
The knocking on the door continued. Lu Rui stood up and walked to the door. He reached out and opened the door, only to see Liu Bin and Zhang Tianhao standing outside the door dressed in casual clothes.
"You kid really didn't fall asleep, did you?" Liu Bin asked in a daze.
Lu Rui smiled bitterly and raised the phone in his hand: "I didn't even hear Ruolan call me. How do you think I slept?"
Liu Bin and Liu Bin burst into laughter and walked into the room together.
Lu Rui dialed Lin Ruolan's mobile phone in the United States. Lin Ruolan on the other end seemed a little tired, so she picked up the phone and said, "What? I just couldn't get through when I called you."
Ignoring her question, Lu Rui said in a deep voice: "What's going on? How long have you not rested? Why are you so tired? Where is Lin Tiannan? Where is Li Zhiqiang? What did they do?"
Hearing Lu Rui's heartfelt concern, Lin Ruolan's heart felt warm. The man opened his mouth and asked himself, without caring about anything else. The dissatisfaction in his heart just now because Lu Rui didn't answer the phone was gone, and he said softly: "Don't
Angry, I haven’t had a good rest these days. By the way, have you arrived in the foggy city?"
Lu Rui felt relieved and nodded: "We're here. I fell asleep in the afternoon, so I didn't hear your call."
The two of them were always on the phone during this period, so Lin Ruolan naturally knew Lu Rui's whereabouts.
