    The Comely Teacher's Bodyguard - Da Shu

    EXPERIENCE

    CHAPTER 401 - DESIRE FOR MEN

    He also remembered back then, that their first meal together was at the restaurant in Old. That time, Hu Guocheng had given her the title of Woman by her side, and it was from that point onwards that the story between them officially began. Du Ruiqi's heart developed a longing for Hu Guocheng, or more accurately speaking, a thirst for a man.

    After that, every time they had a secret meeting, Hu Guocheng would bring her to the building on the outskirts of Old.

    Although the Old did not participate in their story and did not know about it, they could not leave the Old alone.

    Therefore, when Hu Guocheng mentioned the Hu Family's Old, Du Ruiqi's heart unconsciously shivered.

    Du Ruiqi did not dare to look at Hu Guocheng anymore, she picked up the disinfected tableware on the table and used her chopsticks to stick it in. With a pa sound, the layer of plastic that was wrapped around the table was punctured. Du Ruiqi took out the small cups, bowls and plates inside and started to do this silently.

    Hu Guocheng knew that his words had pricked one of Du Ruiqi's nerves. However, he did not feel awkward at all. Instead, he secretly laughed in his heart.

    Honestly speaking, his desire for Du Ruiqi had already disappeared and it could be said that he had stopped long ago.

    Ever since he gave Du Ruiqi to Huang Zhonghua, he had completely stopped thinking about him. Now that she was in County Committee Book Period, she was his boss a long time ago, and in his heart, he didn't dare have the slightest lustful thought about her.

    Of course, because of the close relationship they had, Hu Guocheng was relatively casual with her when they spoke. He was born to be a joker, and he did it every day, so what he said was always a bit sloppy. He felt that Du Ruiqi should have already gotten used to it.

    The dishes were quickly served.

    A big bowl of soup was steaming hot.

    Come, drink some soup first … Hu Guocheng stood up and scooped up a bowl of soup for Du Ruiqi, Warm up.

    Du Ruiqi took a sip, and felt that the soup tasted strange, a smell of Chinese medicine.

    Hehe, today I will cooperate with you and also be a woman. Hu Guocheng laughed and said, Occidental ginseng dun black chicken, Beauty Nourishment Soup.

    No wonder it tasted so weird. Du Ruiqi thought.

    Yu He people rarely drank this kind of soup, it seemed like only Old people would drink this kind of soup. How could this little store make such a high grade soup! She was somewhat confused.

    How is it? The taste isn't bad, right? Hu Guocheng asked.

    Not bad, the taste is a little strange! Du Ruiqi said.

    So be it! You see, this beauty can also nourish the face of the soup, can it be ordinary? Ordinary things won't have this effect! Hu Guocheng laughed and said, This old skin of mine, I think after drinking this soup, it will become smoother!"

    Another big dish was served.

    Salt and pepper river prawns, replenish the calcium! Hu Guocheng said.

    They were here to make up for their feelings today! Du Ruiqi thought it was funny when she heard Hu Guocheng's words. Every dish seemed to have its own characteristics.

    As the two of them ate, they did not say anything and the atmosphere became awkward.

    Du Ruiqi took a sip of the soup, raised her head and looked at Hu Guocheng, and said: About Liang Rifa, what do you think?

    Hu Guocheng did not answer right away. Instead, she and Du Ruiqi looked at each other for a while before they continued to drink the soup and eat the dishes.

    After a while, he put down his chopsticks, looked at Du Ruiqi and said: I think you decided this matter after fully considering it. What is your motive for making a move against Liang Rifa?

    To investigate the distribution of social security funds, let's see if those poor citizens are able to get justice for themselves. Du Ruiqi said.

    You want to be the Yu He's Du Qingtian? Hu Guocheng asked with a smile.

    Of course, the settlement of social security funds will inevitably bring about other problems. It has already been proven that Liang Rifa has a lot of problems. Du Ruiqi said.

    Outsiders don't think so! Hu Guocheng said, Liang Rifa is one of the people that Jiang Can come over, the reason why you hit him is because you hit Jiang Can. As for whether or not you can defeat Jiang Can through fighting Liang Rifa, that would depend on the level of the competition between you guys.

    Du Ruiqi did not make a sound, but looked at Hu Guocheng.

    I personally think that you won't be able to defeat Jiang Can if you were to beat Liang Rifa. Not only will it fail, but it will also provoke Jiang to counterattack. Have you thought about this before?" Hu Guocheng said.

    I have. He will definitely do so!

    Alright. So, have you thought of where he would start? Hu Guocheng asked.

    I have. Du Ruiqi answered very straightforwardly.

    So, have you thought about how to deal with this?

    Yes.

    Then I'm not worried.

    Hu Guocheng seemed to heave a sigh of relief, and leaned on the back of the chair.

    Last night, he had been worried for her, afraid that she hadn't thought of a way out. If that was the case, then he would be on the defensive. Since she had already thought it through, one could imagine how well-prepared she was. Furthermore, she had already put her work in front of her.

    Still, I'm a little worried. Du Ruiqi said, Jiang Can's methods are very sinister, as long as Liang Rifa does not expose Liang Rifa's case, Jiang Can will not be harmed in the slightest. However, his counterattack would make me very passive. I thought of it. So, I need your help.

    Hu Guocheng continued to smile as he looked at Du Ruiqi.

    This woman was clever. She knew she could get what she wanted from him.

    Jiang can come is indeed very insidious. Judging from his plan for your family, he was well-prepared. That's the counterattack you were worried about! Hu Guocheng said, In that case, there will definitely be sacrifices. In my opinion, your Zhihua must be a sacrifice, and you must be prepared. As long as they set a trap for him, Zhihua will not be able to escape from what he has done.

    I also know that he's too childish and easily falls for someone else's trick! However, I have already convinced him, he seems to already be clear-headed and will not be interacting with Zhou Lukun anymore. Du Ruiqi said.

    It's a good thing that we don't have any interactions with them. However, the things that we've done before have already become the weakness of others. You have to be prepared for this. When necessary, you have to learn to protect yourself. You can't be soft-hearted when you lose an arm! Hu Guocheng said.

    Du Ruiqi sighed in his heart. She had to bear the consequences of breaking the rules! Even if I want to protect him, I can't!

    It's not so easy to knock down Jiang. Even if we find the crux of his problem, we have to find a reasonable way out. That's the key. Hu Guocheng said.

    Du Ruiqi looked at him and felt that he was implying something. She hoped that he could continue, but Hu Guocheng did not.

    Yeah, he has his own path too. No one is a vegetarian … Du Ruiqi said.

    Let's clear up Liang Rifa's case first, then we can only watch from the sidelines. Hu Guocheng said, Back then, the Phellodendron was such a tyrannical person, but they did not push Jiang Can down, and instead beat themselves to the ground, I never thought of that!

    Mentioning Huang Zhonghua, Du Ruiqi's heart couldn't help but feel a little sad.

    Even now, she could not understand why Huang Zhonghua would be tricked by Jiang Can. What was going on? He really needed to find a time to see Huang Zhonghua and solve this question.

    On the way back after eating, Hu Guocheng looked at the speechless Du Ruiqi and felt a little unbearable in his heart.

    For a little woman to have to endure so much pressure and struggle, it was easy to imagine how conflicted she was within her heart. However, once you enter the government, it doesn't matter if you're a man or a woman. He had to bear what he had to bear, and face what he had to face.

    At any time, I will always stand by your side and help you. As long as you need me, I will do my best to help. told her before he got off the car.

    Thank you! Du Ruiqi looked at Hu Guocheng and said sincerely.

    Looking at Du Ruiqi's disappearing figure from the alley entrance, Hu Guocheng's heart still ached for this woman.

    Tonight, he could have told Du Ruiqi some of the things he knew about Jiang Can's arrival, but he endured it and did not say anything. It seemed that the time to speak had not come yet. It was time to see how Jiang Can would fight with Du Ruiqi in the first round.

    Hu Guocheng knew that if he were to use the card in his hand that said Jiang Can can come, if he did not play well, he might not win, and it would instead bring about disaster. This was what he said before, but Hu Guocheng felt that he had yet to find a breakthrough. As long as he could find a way out, Jiang could die without a doubt.

    Hu Guocheng had also been looking for this breakthrough.

    On the second day at work, Du Ruiqi saw the newly published Yu He Report.

    The entire first and second editions were all about the Spring Festival's message of condolences to the Special hardship case, as well as some close-ups and descriptions.

    Looking at the newspaper with its leader's head, Du Ruiqi did not feel disgusted at all. Of course, it wasn't because of her photo, but because he truly felt that Ding Guangyi was doing it with all his heart. Regarding the report of his visit to the Special hardship case, Du Ruiqi had completely accepted Ding Guangyi's suggestion and made a news review. From the looks of it, the effect was quite good.

    Not long after, Ding Guangyi arrived at Du Ruiqi's office.

    The newspapers are doing well. It feels good! Du Ruiqi went straight to the point, she knew that Ding Guangyi came for this.

    Dushuji is satisfied, I am very happy. Yu He reports to all the editors are all very happy. Ding Guangyi said, "I am here to report to Dushuji. We have also sent the summary of the news to the provincial reports and City News s, there are no special circumstances, it should be able to be reported very quickly.

    Hehe, that's great! Du Ruiqi laughed and said, If you can go to the province to report, then the people who reported to you and the Yu He will reward you!

    Thank you Dushuji, I'm too excited! Ding Guangyi said, These are all things that we should do, doing well is our job, the Dushuji's reward for us is the greatest encouragement!

    Hehe, there are rewards and there are penalties. The rewards and the penalties are very distinct. This is my style of doing things. Don't forget, I was born and bred as a teacher. My specialties are rewards and punishments." Du Ruiqi said with a smile.

    Hur hur, this is a good idea. Only those with rewards or penalties will have motivation! Ding Guangyi said with a smile.

    Yu He needs to report some new changes in this new year. Du Ruiqi said, I'm an amateur when it comes to newspaper making, so I know how to read newspapers and make suggestions. The local news in the Yu He had to be done more vividly. More often, we have to walk around and write about the feelings and stories around us to create a better social environment for the Yu He to spread its message. Right now, the higher ups are also setting up some ethical examples, us Yu He must also have our own moral examples. The stories around us, the emotions around us, don't exaggerate, just write the ordinary stories of ordinary people, as long as he has a glimmer of light, we can promote it. The tabloids must also play a big role! Du Ruiqi said.

    CHAPTER 402 - SELECTED RECEIVE

    Yes, the way Dushuji said it is a good idea, and gives me an epiphany. I'm going to go back and do this now. Let them write up some plans to get the publicity started after the new year. Write about the emotions around you and the stories around you. In all walks of life, there are people who work diligently and diligently. They are typical. They are worthy of our propaganda and digging. At that time, we can organize and select the top ten professional models, the top ten moral models, and the top ten filial youths of the Yu He … Wait a minute, only when it's advertised like this will it be more meaningful!" Ding Guangyi said.

    Yes, just follow this line of thinking. Your Ministry of Propaganda can come up with a plan, and we can discuss it with the Standing Committee. Du Ruiqi said.

    Alright, I'll start the implementation now. Ding Guangyi said confidently.

    Before leaving, Ding Guangyi took out a big envelope from his bag and placed it on Du Ruiqi's table, saying: Dushuji, it's almost the new year, this is just a small token of appreciation, please accept it!

    Du Ruiqi could not understand Ding Guangyi's sudden move. She looked at him suspiciously.

    I'll be going now! After Ding Guangyi finished speaking, he was about to leave.

    Wait, Minister Ding, please wait! Du Ruiqi looked at the envelope and immediately understood. She stood up and shouted for Ding Guangyi to stop, Please take it back!

    This … Ding Guangyi was in a difficult position.

    Don't make things difficult for me, and don't make things difficult for yourself. Take it back! Du Ruiqi said resolutely.

    This … Ding Guangyi still could not understand. This was a common practice, every department head had to send their sympathies to the highest leader during New Year's Eve, could it be that she did not even accept this? Besides, when she was in the accessory period all those years ago, didn't anyone send her gifts? Or just don't accept me?

    Ding Guangyi had a very bad feeling in his heart, the good mood from before was completely swept away. Seeing Du Ruiqi's serious expression, he had no choice but to put the envelope on the table back into his bag. Then, he left Du Ruiqi's office resentfully.

    Du Ruiqi never thought that when she was working hours discussing work, Ding Guangyi would actually do this for him!

    She also knew that this was a common practice in the government. Some of the leaders even said that he didn't know who sent him so many of these cadres, but he would definitely remember the ones that didn't.

    When Du Ruiqi was appointed to the accessory period, people started to sympathize with her during the New Year holidays. With regards to receiving gifts, this kind of technical job, she had never known how to grasp it. Accepting, feeling uneasy, refusing, seems to be detrimental to stability and unity. The ecology of the government was like this. When the water was clear, there would be no fish. If you are too clean, no one will come near you. If you lose your ecological circle and become a loner in the government, you will be the first one to fall. Du Ruiqi knew this too. Therefore, she adhered to a principle of selectively accepting these people who came to visit her.

    Although Ding Guangyi had become closer to her recently, she had also changed his opinion of him a little. However, she would definitely not dare to accept such a reward. At this critical juncture, she warned himself that he must be cautious. Any one of his actions could leave a trace of doubt in his opponent's mind, leaving his in an abyss that would be beyond redemption.

    However, at this time, the number of people reporting to her office increased. Even He Ping, whom she usually found the hardest to see, had come to her office for the first time.

    He Ping was a genius. From the appearance, anyone would think that He Ping was a person with a lot of knowledge and discipline.

    He was very concerned about his appearance. Every day, he would wear a well-groomed suit and tie. He was nearly 1.8 meters tall and had handsome facial features, giving him a dignified appearance.

    That afternoon, He Ping walked into Du Ruiqi's office with his briefcase in hand and his head held high.

    Hello, Dushuji! I came to report to Dushuji, I won't disturb you, right? He Ping said humbly.

    Calligraphy He, please have a seat. Du Ruiqi stood up, walked to He Ping's side and shook hands with him, then said, It's rare to see Calligraphy He having time to report!

    He Ping could hear the words that were said. Du Ruiqi was criticizing him in a disguised manner and rarely came to report to her.

    Ah, I've always thought of coming over. Firstly, I'm afraid of disturbing Dushuji, and secondly, I'm busy with work. As you know, this is the work of a village. There is no detail about it. It is always a hassle. It is rare to get away from it!" He Ping saw that Du Ruiqi had sat down, and also sat down opposite of him.

    Hehe, to serve the people? Why aren't you taking your time to serve the people? Du Ruiqi said meaningfully.

    The Dushuji is right. We serve the people. Sometimes, we just don't have ourselves. For example, Dushuji, I can say that you have the hardest time and the heaviest burden! You never complain that you're tired. You motivate us all and encourage us at every meeting. Do you think we have any reason not to work hard?" He Ping tried to curry favor with them.

    Hehe, if you are truly determined to serve the people and work hard, will the Yujiazhu Town's financial situation be like this?

    Du Ruiqi didn't want to hear his flattering. She looked at He Ping and brought up the topic.

    Calligraphy He, Yujiazhu Town is an important economic town of Yuhe County, the development of these two years is not optimistic! Du Ruiqi said as she looked at He Ping.

    Hai. He Ping sighed, This is my problem, if a business wants to develop, just relying on the support of the government is not enough, it still needs to be able to keep up with the management level, and take Kudzu Kudzu for example, it is our leading enterprise, but, these two years it has been in a bad mood, sales are not good!

    It is true that the development of a local company depends on the government and more on the business itself. Du Ruiqi said, However, according to what I know, Kudzu Kudzu seems to be expanding again recently. The business is in a bad mood, so why should we expand the factory?

    According to their reactions, they are preparing to transfer the product and develop it. Because the original product market was not good, they are going to put it into the expansion of the new production line. He Ping said.

    You want to expand if you don't develop well? There didn't seem to be any such logic.

    Now some companies do not focus on doing big business, but think about how to get land and hoard a windfall. Because these few years the land price began to grow crazily, as long as the company got the land, even if they didn't do anything, they would still be able to obtain a huge profit!

    Du Ruiqi knew that Gui Zhenlin and his brother from the Kudzu Kudzu were working together to create a name.

    Yu Shaofeng had secretly reported this to Du Ruiqi before he got on the Standing Committee, so he had a rough idea about this matter already. He Ping had a lot of thoughts on this matter, but he did not have the heart to think about how to develop the economy, or how to build a good Yujiazhu Town.

    The management of Kudzu Kudzu was rather successful, for the past few years, she did not manage to keep up with them and did not invest much into the development of new products. In the end, it is still a matter of lack of talented people. common cinnamomum root has also been here before, and I have also discussed this issue with him. Du Ruiqi said, We will not change the family style of management, and if we do not introduce a modern way of management, the road of the Kudzu Kudzu will only become narrower. Under these circumstances, it would be a pipe dream if you want to expand your production base!"

    He Ping looked at Du Ruiqi and her heart began to break out in cold sweat.

    Du Ruiqi's words had directly told him that it was impossible for Kudzu Kudzu to obtain more land.

    This caused He Ping's previous hopes to completely fail.

    Everyone knew that as long as the company acquired a plot of land, they would obtain a large amount of gold! Nothing could be faster than hoarding. As long as he could get the land and transfer it out in a few years, he would be able to get his hands on the money.

    Kudzu Kudzu had just tasted this kind of sweetness. In the past, when Huang Zhonghua gave the land to the Kudzu Kudzu, he gave it to him with a big wave of his brush, giving him nearly three hundred mu of land on the mountain in the development zone. Back then, that place was very remote and didn't have much value, but after a few years, it was completely different. The development area had been set up, the supporting facilities had also been set up, and the Kudzu Kudzu had become the company with the most real estate in the development area. He wasn't satisfied yet. He still wanted to find more land on a nearby mountain. It seemed that his hopes had failed.

    He Ping and Gui Zhenlin's relationship had always been good. He Ping had thought that through the relationship they had with Jiang Can, they would be able to help Gui Zhenlin mediate matters and obtain that piece of land. This way, Jiang Can come, He Ping, and Gui Zhenlin would be able to obtain huge benefits.

    He didn't expect that with just one word from this little girl, she had already blocked this road.

    Sigh, Dushuji is right. I will find another opportunity to communicate with common cinnamomum root, and try to revive Kudzu Kudzu. It is indeed not easy to develop a good enterprise, and seeing it die right now is truly heartbreaking! He Ping said.

    Yujiazhu Town has a natural advantage in the field, so we need to work hard in this area. The surrounding farmers also need to do their job well, and we need to create a good investment environment, so as to avoid any conflicts between the farmers and the enterprises, and allow the enterprises to wholeheartedly devote themselves to production under an environment that was completely free from interference. From then on, we will attract more enterprises to invest and settle down, and promote the economic and social development of the Yu He. " Du Ruiqi said.

    Yes, yes, I will definitely follow Dushuji's instructions. I will put in more effort in this area next year and try to have a breakthrough in my cultivation … He Ping said.

    Seeing He Ping like this, Du Ruiqi didn't know what the purpose of his visit was. There didn't seem to be any substantive topics being discussed. Just as Du Ruiqi was suspicious, He Ping suddenly changed the topic.

    Dushuji, it's almost the new year, let me first pay my respects to you for your early years, I wish you a happy New Year, this is a little kindness, please accept it. With that, He Ping took out an envelope. It was thicker than the envelope Ding Guangyi gave him earlier.

    Du Ruiqi started to laugh in her heart. Could it be that today was the day of gifts?

    I appreciate your blessings. Thank you, please take this back. I definitely won't do this here. Du Ruiqi said.

    He Ping did not think so, the Leader was just talking, who would not accept money? Jiang can come there for as much as you give him, and sometimes he'll even f * cking take it back!

    He stood up and prepared to leave.

    CHAPTER 403 - ARE YOU SERIOUS!

    It's true!

    Du Ruiqi also stood up, and said: Calligraphy He, it's the new year, don't make things unhappy, you should take it back yourself!

    This … He Ping looked at Du Ruiqi in disbelief.

    Du Ruiqi looked at He Ping, then looked at the thick envelope on the table, her eyes filled with an irresistible determination.

    He Ping hesitated, not knowing what to do. After thinking for a moment, he stretched out his hand and took back the envelope.

    Since this envelope could not be given out, it showed that Du Ruiqi was completely against him in his heart. He Ping felt an unspeakable apprehension in his heart. Honestly speaking, he had never given Du Ruiqi a present. In the past, when she was still an assistant, Jiang Can be so tough, why would He Ping put Du Ruiqi in his eyes? He was still afraid of Jiang Can's power and did not dare to get too close to Du Ruiqi. He also rarely came to Du Ruiqi's place to report on his work, and there were only a few times that he had no choice but to come due to the work he did. He Ping knew that the person who hated him the most, Jiang Can, would try to curry favor with Du Ruiqi. When He Ping saw the outcome of Liang Rifa's match, his heart was filled with fear for his future. He had originally wanted to use this Spring Festival to get closer to Du Ruiqi and try to improve their relationship.

    Actually, thinking about it, Du Ruiqi doesn't trust you, how could she accept your money? Furthermore, during this critical period, He Ping felt that he had truly incorrectly evaluated the current situation.

    Carrying a belly full of melancholy, He Ping left Du Ruiqi's office.

    Du Ruiqi knew why He Ping was here.

    It seemed that some people really couldn't sit still anymore. Liang Rifa's case had just started, and some of the fish had already started diving into the water.

    Hehe, the good show has just started, there should be more people jumping out later.

    As expected, at night, while Du Ruiqi was still in her office, she received a call that she was unfamiliar with.

    Dushuji, if it's convenient, I would like to report to your office. On the phone, Treasurer Li Baoqiang said modestly.

    Haha, Bureau Chief Li, if there's nothing important, we can change it to tomorrow. I want to rest too! Du Ruiqi said.

    Li Baoqiang had never called Du Ruiqi on his phone before. This cell phone number was publicly available, only officials at the official level and above had it, and only then would they be able to contact Du Ruiqi.

    I won't disturb your rest for a few minutes. Li Baoqiang said.

    Du Ruiqi could immediately guess the purpose of Li Baoqiang's visit.

    I'm sorry, Chief Li. I need to go home. Du Ruiqi said without any trace of politeness.

    Instead of letting him into the office and then refusing him, it was better to just shut him out.

    Li Baoqiang hung up the phone in disappointment.

    Sigh, I can't go to her office, then I'll go to her house. I can't reject going to her house, Li Baoqiang thought.

    He drove and waited under the county building.

    Seeing Du Ruiqi's car leaving the courtyard, he drove the car and followed.

    When Du Ruiqi got off the car and entered the house, he immediately parked the car and quickly followed Du Ruiqi into the alley.

    Du Ruiqi opened the gate of the courtyard, and just as she was about to close it, she saw Li Baoqiang behind him.

    Sorry, Dushuji, sorry to bother you! Li Baoqiang held a red bag in his hands as he spoke while nodding and bowing.

    Du Ruiqi really did not think that Li Baoqiang would follow him all the way home.

    Du Ruiqi stretched out her hand but did not hit the smiling man. After all, she could not possibly stop him from entering, right?

    Chief Li, please sit! Du Ruiqi sat down in the living room and started to boil water for tea.

    "Dushuji, don't be busy, I don't drink tea. I'll take a seat and leave. Li Baoqiang said while standing.

    Bureau Chief Li, you're being a stranger. Since you're here, sit down and have a nice chat. Slow down. Du Ruiqi said as he looked at Li Baoqiang.

    Alright, I'll sit. Wait a moment, I'm not drinking tea, I'm not thirsty … Li Baoqiang continued to speak very cautiously.

    Du Ruiqi had already placed the water bottle on the table and started boiling the water.

    In the silent night, one could only hear the sound of the water in the pot quickly sizzling.

    Du Ruiqi began to slowly pour out the tea leaves from the box. While doing all of this, she intentionally raised her head to look at Li Baoqiang.

    Li Baoqiang sat there, trying to find something to say to start the conversation, but he did not know what to say.

    Bureau Chief Li, it must be hard for you to be a poor family like Yu He! Du Ruiqi raised her head, looked at Li Baoqiang and laughed.

    No, it's not hard … If you want to talk about hard work, Dushuji is the one who has the hardest time … Li Baoqiang said, I, I came here today to pay my respects to Dushuji for my early years, and at the same time, to report my thoughts to him …"

    Du Ruiqi saw Li Baoqiang so nervous that she started stuttering, and laughed: Chief Li, if you have something to say, just say it freely. Don't be restrained, work, we all have one goal, and that is to serve the Yu He, serve the people!

    Right, right. That's what I thought. Li Baoqiang immediately took over the conversation and said, Our Yu He's finances are poor, and we are always stuck at the stage of eating. When our Dushuji comes up this year, it was because we saved up a lot of unnecessary expenses, so we won't be that nervous during the new year. Therefore, it's not easy to be a poor family, but as long as you have a good leader, it's not hard to be a poor family!

    Hehe, I am a very stingy person. If I can save it, I will save it. If I shouldn't spend it, I will not spend it. For Commissioner Li to have such an experience, it can also be considered as my gratification! Du Ruiqi said with a smile.

    Du Ruiqi knew that she wouldn't spend money recklessly, so she caused Jiang Can to come over and had to control herself. For this reason, she could come over and express her dissatisfaction on many occasions, saying that she was very stingy, spending money was like asking for her life, and wasn't spending her money. Many budgets have been reduced, which was not possible in the past. Even in the Huang Zhonghua era, he wouldn't be so stingy. However, Du Ruiqi knew that the poor family had to have their own plans. If you can't spend it, then save it.

    For a leader's meal, poor families would have to spend more than a year! Thinking about those who were still struggling on the line between being poor and looking down on patients, and those children who had lost their studies due to being poor, Du Ruiqi felt a little guilty. How could this poor family do its best to give the common people a chance for survival? She always wanted to change that situation a little faster.

    Dushuji, to tell you the truth, you said that my family is very poor, but the most difficult part is you, Yu He, how do you plan to stabilize your family in poverty, to become rich in poverty, it is not that easy, but, Dushuji, some of your methods gave me hope, truly, you are wholeheartedly considering Yu He's development, you are not like some people … Saying that, Li Baoqiang suddenly stopped, perhaps because he had realised that he had said something that he shouldn't have, he immediately became more cautious.

    Du Ruiqi looked at Li Baoqiang, and then placed a cup of tea in front of him and said: Chief Li, drink this tea!

    Oh, thank you! Li Baoqiang raised his cup, but his hands were trembling.

    Dushuji, it's getting late. I won't disturb your rest any longer, so I'll be leaving first … Li Baoqiang drank some tea and stood up to leave.

    Du Ruiqi did not urge him to stay and stood up to send him off.

    Just as she walked to the door, she found the bag that Li Baoqiang had brought. She reached out to pick it up and said, Bureau Chief Li, please take it back!

    Dushuji, this is just a small token of appreciation. It's only a bottle of wine, don't take it out on me. Take it, take it … Li Baoqiang said as he walked out of the room.

    Du Ruiqi didn't want to pull on the bag with him, so when she saw that there was really a bottle of wine inside, she didn't insist.

    Li Baoqiang left the room quickly.

    Returning back to the living room, Du Ruiqi thought about it and felt that something was amiss. Li Baoqiang had followed him at such a late hour, how could he possibly only send him a bottle of wine?

    She opened the bag suspiciously and discovered that there was indeed a new world underneath the bottle of wine! Under the bottle was a thick envelope, even thicker than the one He Ping gave him in the afternoon.

    Du Ruiqi didn't have any experience, and didn't know how much money was in it, but she estimated that it should be around tens of thousands!

    It was said that some leaders could tell how much money there was just by looking at the thickness of the envelope. They said it was looking at the thickness, touching the thickness. Du Ruiqi had never touched it before, but its thickness, was definitely not a small amount.

    She was regretting her carelessness! If only he had insisted on returning the bag to Li Baoqiang. Now, he had another trouble!

    Li Baoqiang was the same as He Ping, he definitely could not accept money!

    Looks like I will have to trouble Xu Wenjuan with this matter.

    Du Ruiqi shook her head, and could not help but laugh. Her prediction was right, He Ping and Li Baoqiang had jumped out one after the other, which showed that some people were already feeling guilty.

    The counterattack must have begun, she thought.

    Then, should he start his operation as soon as possible? After some thought, she decided to leave for the provincial capital tomorrow.

    On the second day at work, Du Ruiqi ordered Liang Xiaosu and the driver Xiaoshu to prepare fifteen sets of specialties from the Yu He. Each box of exquisite Radix Puerariae powder and fresh tea seed oil, these were all grown locally in the Yu He, and were all very popular whenever they were sent to the provincial capital.

    Xiaoshu drove the car directly to Kudzu Kudzu and brought over a few large pieces of Radix Puerariae powder. After that, he went to Jinhe Town's tea seed oil factory and pulled a few boxes of tea seed oil, and in less than half an morning, all of these things were prepared.

    After lunch, Du Ruiqi brought Liang Xiaosu, who was driving the carriage, to the capital.

    In the carriage, Du Ruiqi was resting with her eyes closed, making use of this time to take a nap. When they arrived at the provincial capital, it was already around 3 in the afternoon.

    The main purpose of Du Ruiqi's trip this time, was to pay a visit to the provincial council member Li Chengxin. This was the first time she came to visit Li Chengxin in such an official manner ever since he had become a County Committee Book Period.

    He remembered that back then when he was still studying at the cymbidium, Li Chengxin had a whole new level of respect for him. It's just that at that time, she was still a small Department cadres and was at the lowest level in cymbidium.

    The period of half a year that he had to study at the provincial capital's cymbidium was the best period for Du Ruiqi to accumulate connections in the government.

    CHAPTER 404 - THE HAPPINESS OF LIFE

    Most of the students in the cymbidium during that period were currently in important positions within the provincial government organizations. Those who came from the grassroots like Du Ruiqi were mostly in the main seats in power. For example, the Lower Forest Development Zone's Chen Lihao. At that time, he was training at the vice division level, and based on the speed of his growth, Du Ruiqi's growth could be considered very fast.

    Du Ruiqi wanted to pay a visit to Li Chengxin during the night. That way, he could go to his house. This was because the thing she gave Li Chengxin was not suitable for him to use, but more suitable for his mistress.

    Du Ruiqi understood that Li Chengxin's family was relatively harmonious. After Li Chengxin was transferred from the north to the Ancient Province, his wife quickly followed Li Chengxin to the Ancient Province. The two of them did not live separate lives. It seemed that Li Chengxin was still very good to his wife. Now, many leaders and cadres were unwilling to bring their families with them. The first reason was because of the frequent movement of work and the complexity of the move. Although the leadership cadres do not have the difficulties of ordinary people, but related to the children's education transfer problems, many families will stay in the local, not move. Secondly, it would be inconvenient for him to move around with his family by his side. That, of course, was the more important reason!

    However, Li Chengxin chose to transfer his family members and children to the Ancient Province, which was a rare occurrence among the cadres who had been transferred to a different place. It had also been almost eight years since Li Chengxin had been stunned in the Ancient Province.

    If nothing unexpected happened, Li Chengxin wanted to be the next ruler of the Ancient Province, and could not be the first in command, he could at least be the second in command. It was very possible that he would become the next Governor. If there was someone in the middle to support Li Chengxin, he would even have a one step up hopes of directly ruling the Ancient Province.

    Du Ruiqi felt that being able to obtain Li Chengxin's recognition at the beginning of her career was his life's greatest fortune!

    This was called gambling against each other. If one won once, they would win with the same person, and they would win for the rest of their life! This was even more so in the government. If the team stood on the right path, then the career would go smoothly. However, if they stood on the wrong path, then they would suffer for their entire lives. Many people would never be able to pull themselves out of the mud because of this!

    First the phone call. She first made a call to Li Chengxin.

    Hearing that it was Du Ruiqi, Li Chengxin laughed on the phone: Rui Qi, if I hear it, I can hear it, how is it, is your work alright?

    Thank you, Li Shuji, for your concern. All aspects are not bad. Du Ruiqi said, Tonight, I want to go to your house to report to you.

    Hur hur, where are you? Have you reached the provincial capital? Li Chengxin asked with a smile.

    Yes, I can make it to the provincial capital in the afternoon. Du Ruiqi said.

    Alright, then 8: 30 in the evening. Go to the first floor of Provincial Commissariat's dormitory, I'll get my secretary to pick you up. Li Chengxin said straightforwardly.

    Alright, thank you Li Shuji. See you tonight! Du Ruiqi happily hung up the phone.

    When he thought about how he could only go to Li Chengxin's house at night, Du Ruiqi started to think about how he could spend the rest of the afternoon.

    After thinking for a bit, she felt that she should contact all the students who were working at the provincial capital's cymbidium. They should meet at the same place in the evening to eat, and then each of them would be given a special product from the Yu He. This would not only increase their relationship, but also increase their early years of life.

    Therefore, Du Ruiqi took out the phone book and started to call them.

    The first call was to Kuang Yuming of Provincial Disciplinary Committee. Kuang Yuming was now one of the vice chairmen of the Provincial Disciplinary Committee's office, from the official level to the auxiliary hall level, he was the big brother of the cymbidium. Back then, when Du Ruiqi was studying in cymbidium, she received a lot of his care and attention.

    Big Brother Kuang, hehe, that's right, that's right, I'm Rui Qi! Du Ruiqi called out cordially, I came to the capital to see you.

    Heh heh, really? Kuang Yuming said with a disbelieving smile, Where are you?

    I'm in a car under a tree on the street outside your office building. Du Ruiqi laughed and said, The provincial government's gate is heavily guarded, we can't get in!

    How about this, I'll come down to pick you up, come up and sit for a cup of tea, so that you won't have to stay in the car all the way. Kuang Yuming said.

    Alright then, let's not disturb Big Brother from his work! Du Ruiqi said.

    Hey, chick is here. No matter how busy I am, I have to find some time to see you. Otherwise, wouldn't I, you, complain that I, as your big brother, greeted you inappropriately! Kuang Yuming said with a smile.

    Hur hur, then how could I dare? Du Ruiqi laughed and said, But to be able to report to brother's office, of course I would be honored!

    Just you wait, I'll be down in a while! Kuang Yuming ended his call.

    Du Ruiqi kept looking at the entrance of the Provincial Commissariat, and indeed, she saw Kuang Yuming walk out not long after.

    Kuang Yuming was about 40 years old and tall. He was wearing a down jacket, and his tall and big body made him look even more burly. When he walked, his hands swayed a lot, giving him a unique personality.

    Back then, when they were at the cymbidium, they had laughed at Kuang Yuming secretly, saying that he had joined their party. There was a domineering air to it.

    For some reason, whenever Du Ruiqi saw Kuang Yuming, he couldn't help but think of him. She always felt that there were many similarities between him and Huang Zhonghua. Huang Zhonghua walked with a dignified appearance, exuding a domineering aura. I wonder if all men who become officials have such a prideful and overweeningly arrogant feeling? The Leaders on the television cameras were all like that. They walked with style and style, giving off the impression that they were capable of calling the wind, calling the rain, and turning the beans into soldiers.

    Seeing that Kuang Yuming had walked out, Du Ruiqi immediately got off the car and extended his hand out to him.

    Big brother, I'm sorry, but I still have to trouble you to come down. Du Ruiqi held Kuang Yuming's hand and said with a smile.

    You little girl, what's there to be embarrassed about? If you don't call me big brother, I won't pick you up. Who told you to call me big brother ever since you came to cymbidium? Is this big brother for nothing? " Kuang Yuming joked.

    The two of them spoke as they walked inside.

    Only after reaching the office did Du Ruiqi feel that it was a little hot.

    The central air-conditioning was still on in the provincial council building, warming up. No wonder he felt warm the moment he walked in.

    Kuang Yuming took off the down jacket. Inside was a proper suit, giving off the feeling that it was a completely different person, very formal and very official. Du Ruiqi had to admit that after all these years, not only was Kuang Yuming not old, he had become even more charming. In other words, he was extremely handsome!

    Big brother, you're getting younger and younger! Du Ruiqi laughed and said, as she took off her down jacket.

    Hur hur, you are also becoming more and more feminine! Kuang Yuming said as he looked at Du Ruiqi.

    The Du Ruiqi in front of him was dressed in a purple suit which perfectly outlined her petite and exquisite figure. She looked very feminine.

    A change in one's position would often result in a change in one's temperament. Kuang Yuming felt that Du Ruiqi's body already had a different smell. This kind of temperament could only be displayed when one's ability was fully displayed and their strength was at its best. Looks like, in's position in the County Committee Book Period, he should be like a fish in water.

    How is it, does it feel to be in power? Kuang Yuming said as he poured Du Ruiqi a cup of water.

    Thanks to big brother's good fortune, I guess I'm not too bad. Du Ruiqi said.

    What do you mean by 'blessings'? I didn't give you much help. Kuang Yuming laughed and said, Tell me about it, isn't the beginning going to be difficult?

    Big Bro doesn't need to guess to know that the following situation is already very complicated. I, a woman with limited experience, am going to lead that group of people. The situation can be imagined! Du Ruiqi said with a smile.

    The beginning will definitely be difficult. I can imagine that, but with your ability, there shouldn't be a problem. Kuang Yuming said, Today I read the news from the Guannan Daily about Yu He's visit to the Special hardship case, not bad!

    Oh, Du Ruiqi finally remembered that she had forgotten to read the newspaper in the morning and didn't even see this piece of news.

    Is that so? I haven't seen it. When I got busy this morning, I forgot to read the newspapers! Du Ruiqi said with a smile.

    You, County Committee Book Period, are too lacking in political will and sensitivity. If you don't read the Party papers in time, how can you immediately understand the political situation? I have to criticize you for that! Kuang Yuming said.

    Right, Big Brother's criticism is right! I accept! I'll accept it humbly!" Du Ruiqi laughed and said. He took the newspaper that Kuang Yuming gave him and started to read seriously.

    At the bottom right corner of the first page, there was indeed a news review that the Yu He News had already released. However, the space was limited and it moved to the second page. This was the first time in the history of the provincial newspaper that they had devoted such a large amount of time to reporting on Yu He's condolences of the year. It seemed that Du Ruiqi's visit this time was very meaningful, as it was expected to cause another commotion in the entire province.

    Don't be so engrossed in your work, chick. No matter how well you do, it would be futile not to pay attention to the situation. Kuang Yuming said, You have to learn to observe the direction of the wind, that is how the government works. The direction of the wind is very important, you have to learn how to see the direction, and you have to learn how to judge. Sometimes, a single decision, a single action will determine your overall situation. You cannot afford to be careless in the slightest!"

    Yes, what big brother said makes a lot of sense. I really need to learn more in this area. If you don't know anything in the future, just give me a few pointers. If I call you anytime, you won't find me annoying, right? " Du Ruiqi looked at Kuang Yuming and said.

    Hur hur, what do you think? If there are beauties calling me every day, I'd secretly be happy too late! Kuang Yuming said with a smile.

    Being joked around like this, Du Ruiqi felt a little embarrassed.

    Big Brother, tonight, I want to invite all of those students from the cymbidium to come gather. I'll be the host, it's best if all of these students from the provincial capital can come as well. Elder brother, can you help me make an appointment? Du Ruiqi immediately changed the topic.

    Hur hur, alright then! I'll be your liaison. It's not easy for you to make a trip to the provincial capital. It's best if everyone can come over and meet you. It's been a long time since we've met. Kuang Yuming agreed readily.

    CHAPTER 405 - FEMALE FLOWER

    Thank you, Big Brother! Du Ruiqi said gratefully.

    You're welcome. It would be embarrassing if you were! Kuang Yuming said.

    Then he picked up the phone and began to make calls.

    Du Ruiqi sat there and watched. Kuang Yuming called every student very seriously, not forgetting to emphasize every time he started: Our beautiful County Committee Book Period, Big Sister Rui Qi is here!

    couldn't help but laugh out loud!

    Students were students, and any time they saw each other, they would always appear to be very amiable. No matter how your position changes, that friendship always seems to be so good. Du Ruiqi felt that these students of the cymbidium were even more friendly and connected than her students of three years. This was probably the reason why there were so many of them in one group!

    Most of the students in the normal class were still teaching in the school, so Du Ruiqi could be considered the most promising one. Those who occasionally contacted him were also out of the teaching team. They had already made some achievements in this new field. Those students who quietly stuck to the front line of education, on the contrary, rarely contacted her.

    Maybe in their eyes, Du Ruiqi was unreachable, if he did not want to get anything from her, there was no need to contact her. But these students of the cymbidium were different. Back then, because of their achievements in the field of official affairs, they were all selected to be promoted to the level of the cymbidium. They all had a certain level of foundation, and now they were all mainstays.

    In China's government, connections are resources, and what kind of connections you have will largely determine your career advancement. These students of the cymbidium, everyone was the best resource.

    Thirteen students from government agencies were contacted by the provincial council. All the calls had been made. Kuang Yuming laughed and sighed in relief, "It feels good to serve the beautiful Calligraphy! It seems that all our classmates really want to see you. When everyone heard that our beautiful Calligraphy had come, they all agreed to reject all of their social meetups to come see you.

    Hehe, thank you, big brother. That's my honor. How could Rui Qi possibly have that much face! Du Ruiqi said with a smile.

    You are always so modest. Kuang Yuming said, To be honest, when we were still in cymbidium, we had better results than you, but in terms of development momentum, you were the one with the strongest momentum! You are also the most promising one in our cymbidium! Furthermore, from the central government to the local government, female cadres were scarce. You are a good material, and in the future, you might really have to cross the provincial level and go to the central government, becoming a Party member and a national Leader! When the time comes, don't you dare not recognize us!

    Hehe, big brother only knows how to joke around with me. If that day ever comes to me, big brother will definitely be my boss! Du Ruiqi said.

    Then I'm so happy, working with beautiful chick everyday, beautiful to death! Kuang Yuming said as he looked at Du Ruiqi.

    The two chatted for a while. Du Ruiqi originally wanted to take her leave, but staying here might disturb Kuang Yuming's work.

    Sit down, sit down. You're going to go down and sit in the car. It's so cold. Sit here for a while, it's fine. I have something to do, take a look at your newspaper, then we'll go to the hotel first and get a room. We'll call those people who have nothing else to do. Let's go there first and chat together." Kuang Yuming said.

    Hearing his words, Du Ruiqi sat down at ease and started flipping through the newspapers on the table.

    They were all Party newspapers. From the central government to the local government, they all browsed through the newspapers and learned from them.

    Around four-thirty, Kuang Yuming finished his work, looked at Du Ruiqi who was still immersed in reading the newspaper, and laughed: Now you're studying so seriously, haha, let's go, the time is almost up. Let's first go to Wan Huo Ming, there's a big room, it's our designated wine house.

    Du Ruiqi knew of this place. She remembered that when she was still in Minister of Public Information, she had also brought Zhu Qingyun along for a visit to the daily newspaper on the occasion of the new year. The decorations there were all done in a fiery red. It looked very festive, and Du Ruiqi really liked the style there.

    Alright, I'll listen to big brother! Du Ruiqi said with a smile.

    They took their down coats and went out.

    Du Ruiqi sat in her own car. Seeing Liang Xiaosu and Xiaoshu sitting in the carriage, she felt so tired that she wanted to fall asleep.

    It must be freezing. Today's weather is very cold, it seems like it's going to snow again! Du Ruiqi said as she looked at them.

    Hehe, no, the heater is on in the car too … Liang Xiaosu said.

    "When we reach the Ten Thousand Lights later, the two of you should also find a good place to eat. I have a lot of people on my side, so I think it'll be a bit late. If you guys have eaten well earlier, you should take advantage of this time to take a good rest, especially in Xiaoshu. Du Ruiqi said.

    Alright, rest assured Dushuji, I will be fine. The Xiaoshu said.

    The car soon reached the ten thousand lights.

    Kuang Yuming drove his own car in front of Du Ruiqi at the hotel.

    The two of them arrived at the large room on the sixth floor.

    It was Du Ruiqi's first time seeing such a big round table, she reckoned that there were more than twenty people sitting at the same time. The outer wall was made of transparent glass, and the veranda was planted with evergreen cedars that seemed alive in this bleak winter.

    Hur hur, we're the earliest customers! Kuang Yuming laughed and said, Let me urge those undisciplined fellows to come over early.

    Kuang Yuming took out his phone and started shouting.

    The waitress quickly came in and brought in the signature black tea and the sweet, dessert sprigs.

    Sigh, I said, the beautiful Calligraphy and I are already here. All the lights here, right, 608, all of you f * cking bastards come over quickly, if not, I will run away with the beautiful Calligraphy! Kuang Yuming said with a smile.

    This was the first time Du Ruiqi had seen him speak like this. After their relationship had left the provincial committee, this person had become extremely relaxed.

    After making a few calls, Kuang Yuming looked at Du Ruiqi and said: chick, don't mind me, men only speak rudely. Moreover, this is after work time, it belongs to the category of self-entertainment, hehe.

    Du Ruiqi laughed without saying a word.

    There were only two female students in cymbidium. Qu Xiao Hong was the director of the provincial women's union and Zhai Min was the director of the provincial Transport Hall. Du Ruiqi decided to make a call to these two female students again.

    Bro, I'll call them again to see when Qu Xiaohong and Zhai Min arrive. Du Ruiqi said.

    Alright, it's more appropriate for you to do the work for this woman. Kuang Yuming said with a smile.

    Du Ruiqi immediately called the two of them. Upon hearing that Du Ruiqi had reached Wan family lights, they agreed to get off work and come here to meet up using the speed of a helicopter.

    In less than half an hour, thirteen people came. Zhai Min and two other male students were still missing. Du Ruiqi could not even remember the name clearly.

    The moment he saw Qu Xiao Hong, even Du Ruiqi did not dare to admit it! It had probably been two or three years since they last met, but Qu Xiaohong's change was too shocking! His originally slim figure had turned fat. His entire face was flushed red. It looked like he was going to change the course of events!

    Rui Qi, I really didn't expect you to improve so quickly! Qu Xiao Hong still spoke to Du Ruiqi like a big sister.

    Hehe, Sister Qu, it's all thanks to the students taking care of us. Only Rui Qi will have us today! Thus, I came here today specially to the capital to gather with you all to pay my respects! " Du Ruiqi said as she held Qu Xiaohong's hand.

    Yeah, we haven't had a gathering in years. Look, we've all changed. Rui Qi, you're still so young and beautiful! Qu Xiao Hong said with a smile.

    "Hehe, Sister Qu, you're becoming more
