After spending two hours, Cao Rui did a thorough cleaning inside and outside the house.

The home had a brand new look and it was comfortable to live in. Duoduo opened her eyes wide and tilted her head and told Cao Rui:

"Dad, I think you have become really diligent now. You have kept the house really clean. Are you ready for Teacher Yueyue's home visit?"

"Uh!" Cao Rui didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and touched the girl's head: "You are a brat, wouldn't you feel comfortable if the house was a little cleaner?"

While Cao Rui was talking, he lit another burner of incense. The incense in the goose pear tent was soothing, calming and relaxing, and would also help Duoduo sleep later.

Cao Rui decided to change his way of life because he knew how to cherish life. When he knew how to cherish, he would want to live a refined life. Now Cao Rui works hard to arrange his life thoughtfully and calmly.

Duoduo watched cartoons, and Cao Rui found a deck chair to enjoy the cool air on the terrace. He had the habit of smoking, but he couldn't smoke in the room, so he chose the terrace.

Lighting a cigarette, he thought about the Radio, Film and Television Bureau.

He did a good job in solving Liu Sheng's affairs at Radio and Television, and he tasted the sweetness, because through this battle, he successfully resolved the deputy department level, and also took control of the real power of the Radio and Television office.

He knew that this was just a deal. Chen Li used these two benefits plus the price of Liu Sheng's regularization to silence Cao Rui. What he got in this way was not solid at all.

Chen Li doesn't really trust him, which indicates that Cao Rui will encounter many difficulties later.

There is no way to solve Chen Li's distrust. It doesn't mean that Cao Rui performs well, or that kneeling and licking like Zheng Fei can reverse the situation.

In this situation, how can Cao Rui get things done?

Cao Rui focused on the people and things in the Radio, Film and Television Bureau. The Radio, Film and Television Bureau is a large unit, and apart from politics, the key is business.

In the current radio and television team, Chen Li and Tong Yun are definitely the holders of power, but there are several other people in the team. One is the deputy director and editor-in-chief Xiang Hua, and the other is the deputy director, in charge of the advertising business department and external relations. Ding Jinbing is waiting for work.

Both of these people are worthy of consideration. Xiang Hua is a scholar, has a senior professional title, and has a bunch of titles on his head. He enjoys the highest treatment in the entire radio and television industry.

Ding Jinbing controls the advertising business in Taili. He is required to get back five to six million in revenue from radio and television a year. This man is a photographer himself and is currently the actual person in charge of the Yongping County Photographers Association.

Xiang Hua and Ding Jinbing can be said to be the two great kings of radio and television. The two of them are collectively called "Xiang Ding". Some leaders joked that the radio and television bureau is a smooth director and an iron-clad "Xiang Ding". This shows that these two people are Unusual.

Tong Yuneng occasionally challenged Chen Li, but in fact, he cleverly used his relationship with Xiang and Ding to force Chen Li to compromise sometimes.

Cao Rui now wants to make the work in the radio and television office flourish, and revitalizing the relationship between these two people is the top priority.

In addition to these two people, there is another person. This person is the director of the TV station and the musician Wang Ping. The standard for this person is that he is strong in business, has low emotional intelligence, and has a very strong personality.

It can be said that he doesn't listen to anyone in the radio and television, let alone the radio and television, even if he is the leader of the propaganda department, he should quarrel with him.

The key is that people can still feel at ease when being criticized. Is this an ordinary person?

It is said that one of his important relatives is the leader of the provincial capital. In this regard, Wang Ping is an extremely special existence in the Yongping County Radio, Film and Television Bureau.

On the one hand, Cao Rui wanted to straighten out the relationship between these people, and on Chen Li's side, he also wanted to leave some handle on the problem.

Because Chen Li now has the leverage in Cao Rui's hands. If Cao Rui is clean, can Chen Li use him with confidence?

In this case, Cao Rui also wanted to leave something behind. He happened to be very poor now and was so short of money that he wondered if he could make some money by playing side games.

On the one hand, he wants to invigorate his own economy, and on the other hand, he also wants to make Chen Li feel at ease in this way.

"Boom, boom!"

There was a knock on the terrace glass door.

Cao Rui's thoughts were quickly brought back. He put out the cigarette butt and turned his head. Duoduo opened the glass door from behind and poked out a little head:

"Dad, mom is here!"

"what?"

Cao Rui was a little surprised and stood up.

The woman who came into the living room was wearing a bank professional suit. She was quite tall and could be as tall as Cao Rui in high heels. She was also pretty and intellectually sharp. She was Wu Guo, Cao Rui's ex-wife and currently a member of the credit union's team.

"Cao Rui, I felt like I entered the wrong door just now. Oh my god, I can't believe this is your home! You hired a hundred hourly workers to clean your house, right?" the woman said.

Cao Rui smiled, his heart was extremely complicated: "Are you coming to see Duoduo?"

"I don't want to see Duoduo, how can I come to see you?"

After the woman finished speaking, she reached out and held Duoduo in her arms: "Oh, my good girl! She has grown taller again after not seeing her for a few days!"

Duoduo said obediently:

"Mom, if you don't come to see Duoduo, Duoduo misses you so much!"

The mother and daughter had a good chat, and Cao Rui was busy pouring tea and serving fruits to Wu Guo.

Wu Guo seemed to be in a good mood, chatting and laughing with Duoduo, and was also quite kind to Cao Rui.

Cao Rui asked her if she had eaten? Wu Guo said are there any more dishes? I'll heat it up myself.

During the meal, Duoduo went to the bathroom to use the toilet. Cao Rui suddenly said to Wu Guo:

"Wu Guo, under what circumstances would you consider remarrying?"

"Remarriage?" Wu Guo stopped what she was doing, and her expression changed instantly: "Cao Rui, are you dreaming? Find a mirror and look at yourself and see what you look like now. It's hard for me to get out of this sea of ​​misery like you. , do you still want to remarry? I don’t know how many years it will take you to live in reality..."

Cao Rui stopped talking. He went to the terrace to light a cigarette for himself. It was the hot summer season, but his heart was cold and cold.

Cao Rui recalled that his marriage to Wu Guo was mainly due to Cao Dai'an being the top leader of the department store. Before 98, the county department store was still a gold-lettered sign.

After Wu Guo got married, the department store was out of business, and both Cao Rui's parents were laid off. Cao Rui grew up in a greenhouse and was sexually pampered, so the conditions for men to attract women naturally no longer existed.

Cao Rui thought that a famous writer once said: "Marriage is a cooperation, there is no need to make it look like love." Cao Rui felt that this sentence was particularly suitable for him and Wu Guo.

Since it is cooperation, once the strengths of the two parties are imbalanced, the basis for maintaining the relationship will certainly not exist...

It's hard to get overwhelmed!

After smoking a cigarette, Cao Rui saw Duoduo standing behind him at some point. He felt sad and held the child in his arms.

Adults can treat marriage as cooperation, but is it fair to children? .

How much Cao Rui wanted to give Duoduo the best in the world, but the world did not revolve around him. Cao Rui held the child in his arms, and his cold heart gradually hardened. From then on, Wu Guo can be classified in the back row in Cao Rui's life.
