When he returned to Jiangdong, Niu Fuyong appeared to be in dire straits. He used to be sitting on hundreds of millions in assets, switching luxury cars one after another, living in a huge villa that only the upper class could enjoy, and squandered his cash like it was white paper. It was a god-like life. But now, the coal mine was gone, the luxury cars were sold, and he returned to the small house he used to live in. Life was like a play, and the play was like life. Only after experiencing great waves could one truly understand the beauty of the past.
The moment his wife, Zhao Guihua, saw Niu Fuyong, she instantly fainted on the ground. She did not even have the strength to cry.
Lu Yiwei did not blame Niu Fuyong. Instead, he felt guilty. "Fuyong, I sold all your assets without your consent. You won't blame me, right?"
Niu Fuyong, who had always been stubborn, actually shed tears. "Brother Lu, what are you talking about? If it wasn't for you, I probably wouldn't even know where I am. I was f * cking possessed. "As he spoke, he hammered his head violently.
Lu Yiwei quickly pulled him back. "Fuyong, don't be like this. It's fine as long as you're a good person. Like I said, money is a bastard. You can earn it back if you lose it. Don't think about anything else. Rest well for two days. "
"Sigh!" Niu Fuyong sighed. "Brother Lu, I might not be able to return the money to you anytime soon. But don't worry, when I make a comeback, I'll definitely make it up to you."
Zhao Guihua, who had just woken up, wiped away her tears. "Yes, you must return the money to Brother Yiwei. Without him, I don't know how I'd live."
"Alright, we'll talk about this later." Lu Yiwei did not want to dwell on this issue. "What's your next step?"
Niu Fuyong was stunned by this question.
Lu Yiwei said, "I've arranged everything for you. If you're willing, you can work at Dezhi Company. Coincidentally, the Donghu Bridge project that Tong Huan was in charge of was about to start. He was short of manpower, so Old Pan had already gone over. If you don't want to, then stay at home and rest. You don't have to worry about money. I'll support you. "
Niu Fuyong immediately said, "How can I let you raise me? I have hands and feet. I'm willing to go, but I don't know what I can do. I don't know anything about engineering. "
"You can learn if you don't understand." Lu Yiwei said, "This is a good opportunity to transform. Opening a coal mine won't last long, and the risk is too high. Although it's a little tiring to do construction, it's definitely better than a coal mine in the long run, and the profits won't be any worse than a coal mine."
"Alright, I'll give it a try." Niu Fuyong made up his mind.
Lu Yiwei smiled and said, "I just don't know if you, who are used to being a coal boss, can adapt so quickly, hehe."
Niu Fuyong said with a straight face, "I used to be a farmer. There's nothing I can't adapt to. Even if I were to become a beggar now, I would still be able to do it."
"Alright." Lu Yiwei took out a bank card and car keys from his pocket and passed to Niu Fuyong. "There's 50,000 RMB in this card. It's not a lot, and it should be enough for you to spend for a while. This is the car key for my Peugeot. I drove it over for you. Although the car is old, it's better than nothing. Just make do with it. "
"This … this …" Niu Fuyong was touched and speechless.
"Alright!" Lu Yiwei stood up and patted Dong Xuebing's shoulders. "You don't have to say anything else. I believe you will not gamble in the future. Live well with Guihua. I still have something on, and I will come and see you in two days. "
After Lu Yiwei left, Niu Fuyong sat on the sofa for a long time and did not speak. He and Lu Yiwei had an indescribable relationship that went beyond a certain level of friendship. After nearly a decade of ups and downs, Lu Yiwei never looked down on him as his status rose, and Dong Xuebing did not alienate him because of the accumulation of wealth. The two of them never blushed, and they had reached a certain tacit understanding.
When Dong Xuebing was sent to the detention center, it was Lu Yiwei who thought of ways to get him out. Today, it was Lu Yiwei who rushed to the front and snatched him back from the hands of the grim reaper. Moreover, Lu Yiwei would unswervingly support and encourage him in everything he did. It was enough to have such a good brother in this life!
Zhao Guihua brought a glass of water to Niu Fuyong and said, "Fuyong, this time Yiwei helped you get through this difficult time. We can't mistreat him in the future. Yiwei still has tens of millions of RMB in debt, and we have to find a way to pay it back as soon as possible to reduce his burden. "
"Sigh!" Niu Fuyong sighed again and said, "I have nothing now, and I'm a useless person. What can I use to pay it back?"
"Didn't Yiwei ask you to work at Tong Huan's company?"
"He's afraid that I'll lose face. Don't I know what I'm worth? What can I do if I go there? Won't I still be begging for nothing? I'm not going! "
"It's fine if you don't want to go, I'll support you." Zhao Guihua said, "I'll go look for a job tomorrow."
"Forget it, how much can you earn?" Niu Fuyong said, "I used to have a small notebook on my bedside table. Where did you put it?"
"Small notebook?" Zhao Guihua tried hard to recall, got up and said, "I'll go look for it for you."
After a while, Zhao Guihua handed a small notebook to Niu Fuyong and said, "Is it this?"
Niu Fuyong nodded and eagerly flipped through the pages. The notebook recorded in detail all the debts over the years. There were loans, debts, and the total amount was more than 20 million. Among them, the largest sum was from Ba Tu, who borrowed ten million yuan from him back then. Of course, Niu Fuyong did not care about the money, and he was not in a hurry to ask for it. Now he cared and patted the notebook and said, "I'll go and collect the debt tomorrow!"
Niu Fuyong's matter had come to an end, but the aftermath was enough for Lu Yiwei to be busy for a while. He immediately returned the 20 million that Xu Lei had borrowed to Chen Zhongqi. When he borrowed the money, he made it clear that he had to return it within half a month. Most importantly, both of them were not very close. It was already good enough for him to lend him the money. Of course, he did not know what happened behind the scenes.
After that, he called all the creditors and told them that he would not be able to return the money in a short period of time. Li Chunni said straightforwardly that if he had the money, he would return it. The more she said that, the more Lu Yiwei could not bear it and repeated that he would definitely return the money. The other creditors were also very generous, and he was very touched.
He had to settle his personal matters, but he could not neglect his work. The city kept calling him to come up with the report as soon as possible. Lu Yiwei personally worked overtime for a few days to come up with the report. However, the city had a new request. After the business fair next Wednesday, they had to go to the high-tech zone for research. This made Lu Yiwei very busy.
Lu Yiwei could be said to be very skilled in this kind of research work. He had even won the Provincial Business Fair, so this kind of small scale research meeting was a piece of cake. But this time, it was not easy for him. On one hand, the secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and the governor would be coming down. On the other hand, this meeting was of a high standard, and it was related to a multi-billion project. If he did not make sufficient preparations, it might be ruined.
Lu Yiwei called for a class meeting that very night and made arrangements for everything, no matter how big or small. From the reception to the on-site meeting, there was someone to oversee every step. The most important thing was to do a good job with the letters and visits during the research year. There must not be any incidents of people intercepting the letters and visits. For this matter, Lu Yiwei specially made a trip to Cai Jiayuan Village and repeatedly reminded Ren Jiangang not to make any mistakes.
That night, it was already late after the meeting. Lu Yiwei was about to go home when the Director of Finance, Lu Qian, sneakily appeared at the door.
Lu Yiwei was puzzled. "What's the matter?"
"Secretary Lu, I have something to talk to you about," Lu Qian stammered.
Lu Yiwei was stunned for a moment, then opened the door and said, "Come in."
After entering, Lu Qian closed the door and carefully walked to the desk. With a face full of regret, he said, "Secretary Lu, I'm here to apologize to you. I was wrong in the past. I hope you can forgive me and forgive me …"
After listening to Lu Qian's nagging, Lu Yiwei sat upright. "Why are you apologizing to me? Did you do something wrong?"
Lu Qian didn't know what to say when Lu Yiwei countered. "Secretary Lu, I used to work for Zhao Jialin …"
"Stop!" Lu Yiwei hurriedly interrupted. "I said, let's not talk about the past. Besides, what's the point of talking about this? Just do your job well in the future, and I'll let bygones be bygones, okay? "
Lu Qian's face turned red and he said in a trembling voice, "Then Secretary Lu won't punish me?"
"Why would I punish you?"
Lu Qian's heart was at ease when he heard this. He hurriedly said, "Thank you, Secretary Lu. Thank you, Secretary Lu. I'll definitely work harder in the future and live up to your expectations …"
When Lu Yiwei was appointed as the secretary of the working committee, Lin Haifeng had set three requirements for him. One of them was that he was not allowed to touch the existing leaders. He understood Lin Haifeng's motive for doing this. He was afraid that Lu Yiwei would take the opportunity to take revenge and wipe out all of Zhao Jialin's people in one fell swoop, or deliberately stir up trouble and dig up all the past matters.
Lu Yiwei was clearly not that kind of person. He would never kick someone when they were down, nor would he seek revenge for the smallest grievance. He said earnestly, "Lu Qian, did you hear some news recently?"
Lu Qian nodded. "I heard that you want to transfer me."
Lu Yiwei said, "There's no such thing. Just do your job well and set your mind at ease. I'll reiterate once more that bygones are bygones, and the higher-ups will handle everything. But I'm warning you, don't challenge my bottom line. If I find any problems after taking office, I won't be lenient. "
Lu Qian trembled and hurriedly said, "Please rest assured, Secretary Lu. I definitely won't do anything that violates the rules."
"That's all I need to say." Lu Yiwei said, "I've already told Wei Qihua about the land compensation for the villagers of Caiguan Village. No matter how tight the finances are, the money has to be allocated in full. Not only Caiguan Village, but also Horsehead Village's. Everything will be distributed to the villagers, understood? "
"Alright, I'll do it when I get back."
"Okay." Lu Yiwei continued, "Next week, the Provincial Party Committee Secretary Zhang and Governor Zhao will be coming down to do some research. This week, we must resolve these problems left behind by history. Are there any difficulties?"
Lu Qian hurriedly said, "If there are difficulties, I'll solve them myself."
"Good!" Lu Yiwei stood up and said, "Don't let your imagination run wild all day long. Just do your job well. Alright, it's getting late. I have to go home now. You should go too. "
