Chapter 189 Just how powerful is this backing?

"Hey? You finally remembered to call. Did you finalize the song for the Spring Festival Gala?"

"Which song is it? Send it to me now and I'll report it to the authorities for you."

Xu Hongzhuo secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The agreed-upon 15th has long passed, but Lin Rui has yet to submit his work for the Spring Festival Gala. If Xu Hongzhuo didn't know that this kid had a lot of material hidden away, he would have personally come to ask for the music.

"We'll talk about the Spring Festival Gala performance later; there's no rush."

Isn't this urgent?

Xu Hongzhuo's face turned red, whether from anxiety or anger was unclear.

With the rehearsal date fast approaching, I'm in a real bind! You're telling me this isn't urgent and we can put it aside for now?!

However, Xu Hongzhuo could also hear the heaviness in Lin Rui's tone, and patiently asked, "What exactly happened?"

"President Xu, I would like to ask whether the position that the Xiazhou Arts Association granted me is still valid?"

Position?

What position?

Xu Hongzhuo didn't understand at first, and it took him a while to realize that Lin Rui was referring to the honorary committee member position.

When asked about his identity, Xu Hongzhuo became hesitant and stammering.

Strictly speaking, the title of honorary member of the Xiazhou Arts Association does not carry any real power.

Its significance lies more in the special recognition given by the government to individuals or non-governmental organizations.

But in any case, this identity does represent the official position in a certain sense.

However, compared to Lin Rui's current status, position, and influence, it seems insignificant.

Why bring it up out of the blue?

Xu Hongzhuo's expression also turned serious.

He knew Lin Rui's personality well; he was a silly boy who often did nothing productive and could be carefree and thoughtless when he got carried away.

As for political maneuvering, he was completely indifferent.

No, it would be more accurate to describe them as completely ignorant.

"President Xu, I want to be willful just this once and exercise the privileges of an honorary committee member."

Lin Rui's casual words made Xu Hongzhuo uneasy.

What on earth is this kid trying to do?!

Xu Hongzhuo's expression was solemn, and he pondered for a moment before saying, "Speak."

"I will be using the Spring Festival Gala stage in three days."

"Can."

I thought it was something big, but it's just this?

No problem at all!

Before Xu Hongzhuo could catch his breath, Lin Rui's voice came again.

"Please invite the Xiazhou Security Bureau, the Yunzhou Medical Association, and the Huaxia Literature and Art Association to me. I want to hold a multi-party video conference with them as soon as possible."

Xu Hongzhuo: ? ? ? ?

The Yunzhou Medical Association is not a big problem; Old Zhong is eager to get close to this kid.

Why would they suddenly need to contact the China Literature and Art Association?

Please!

That's our boss, you know!

There has always been only reporting; what's with this invitation?

Also, how did the Xiazhou Security Bureau get involved?

What are you trying to do, kid?!

He thought that Lin Rui calling him meant there was a surprise waiting for him.

But to everyone's surprise, it was not a pleasant surprise, but a terrifying one!

"Lin Rui, let's talk this out. There's no hurdle in this world that can't be overcome!"

"Did you run into some blind idiot? Just tell me, and I'll stand up for you!"

In Xu Hongzhuo's view, as long as the Huaxia Literature and Art Association and the Xiazhou Security Bureau are not involved, it is not a big deal for him to risk half his life!

"President Xu, is this possible?"

Lin Rui's tone remained calm and composed.

Xu Hongzhuo's gaze became uncertain.

He wasn't sure what Lin Rui was up to, but with his constant references to the China Literature and Art Association and the Xiazhou Security Bureau, even Xu Hongzhuo, who had spent most of his life in officialdom, found it hard to be rational.

"Could you tell me what this is about? At least I can answer if any of the three parties ask, right?"

Xu Hongzhuo did not comment.

"I want to collect and organize some materials for song creation, but I need the assistance of the Huaxia Literature and Art Association and the Yunzhou Medical Association."

"As for the Xiazhou Security Division, I want to retrieve some videos from the black box."

Black box?

Xu Hongzhuo immediately thought of the more than twenty firefighting helicopters.

If that's all there is to it, then it might be worth a try applying.
