The situation in the city was critical, but normal work was still carried out. The interview time was not delayed and was held as usual.
This kind of selection interview was very different from a civil servant interview. Civil servants were a bunch of examiners, with a table in the middle with questions for the examinee to answer within a limited time. The examiners also had standard answers. If one answered correctly, one would get a high score. If one deviated, one would be eliminated.
However, the interview this time was much more relaxed. All the interviewees were divided into several groups and walked into a conference room together, just like a normal meeting. The difference was that everyone had to speak, and the examiners would give a score based on their adaptability and overall qualities.
The interviewees were all elites from various positions, and they had rich work experience. Meetings were a common occurrence for them. They could talk non-stop, and it would not be a problem for them to talk for hours. Since their standards were about the same, it was up to the examiners to see whose answers were more pleasing.
The Fan family placed great importance on Lu Yiwei's examination. Even though Xi Zhou City had also experienced a disaster, Fan Rongkui still came back to cheer for Lu Yiwei. Lu Yiwei's chances were very high this time. As long as he grasped it well, there would be no problems. The most important thing was that the selection was too tempting. He could become a member of the Standing Committee and Executive Deputy Mayor in an instant. If this was any other time, it was unknown how much effort it would take to climb to such a position.
Fan Chunfang specially bought a branded suit for Lu Yiwei, and started dressing him early in the morning.
At the dining table, Fan Rongkui repeatedly exhorted, "Yiwei, do your best. Don't be nervous. I believe you will definitely succeed."
Sun Chunyun also echoed, "That's right. If you pass, it will save a lot of trouble. You will become a city leader in an instant, and you won't have to deal with them. Chunfang will also benefit from being with you. Our Lao Fan family has always produced talents. You will definitely have no problem. "
Seeing her parents constantly pressuring Lu Yiwei, Fan Chunfang knocked on the table and said, "I say, can you guys talk less? Go do what you need to do. Yiwei is already a little nervous, and with you guys making a fuss, he's even more nervous."
"Alright, alright, alright. I won't talk anymore!" With that said, Fan Rongkui got up and walked to the living room to watch the news.
"Don't listen to them. If you pass, then pass. If you don't, then don't. Why put so much pressure on yourself?" Fan Chunfang consoled him.
Lu Yiwei was indeed a little nervous. He forced a smile and said, "I know what to do."
After dinner, Fan Chunfang wiped Lu Yiwei's leather shoes again. Lu Yiwei stood in front of the mirror and looked left and right. After confirming that there were no problems, he prepared to go out.
Sun Chunyun said, "Lao Fan, Yiwei is leaving. Send him off."
"What else is there to send? Let him go by himself." Fan Rongkui said, "The driver, Xiao Liu, is already waiting downstairs."
Lu Yiwei also said, "There's no need to send me. I can go myself."
Just as he was about to go out, the television broadcasted the flood relief news from all over the country: "Dear viewers, we will now broadcast a sad piece of news. At around 6 am this morning, the reporter from the Central Youth Daily, Su Meng, was unfortunately swept away by the flood while carrying out an interview on the frontline. His whereabouts are still unknown … If everyone sees this news, please actively cooperate. If you find any valuable clues, please contact us immediately. The contact details are … "At this moment, Su Meng's photo appeared on the television …
When Lu Yiwei saw this news, his head buzzed and he was stunned. Su Meng had disappeared. How was this possible? He ran to the television like crazy and stared at Su Meng's photo. His mind was blank.
Seeing Lu Yiwei's strange actions, Fan Chunfang went forward and whispered, "Yiwei, what's wrong?"
Sun Chunyun, who did not know, urged, "Yiwei, hurry up. If you don't leave now, you will be late. The weather is not good. If there is a traffic jam on the road …"
Lu Yiwei was dumbfounded. His face turned pale as he stepped back and shook his head. "Impossible, impossible …" After saying that, he pulled his tie with all his might and threw it on the table. Then, he ran out like a madman.
"Yiwei, Yiwei …" Sun Chunyun shouted from behind, "What's going on? Lao Fan, hurry up and go take a look. "
Fan Rongkui was also stunned. He held the cigarette in his hand for a long time.
"What's wrong with you two?" Sun Chunyun was puzzled. She went forward and pushed, "Did you hear that? Hurry up and take a look at Yiwei. What's going on?"
Fan Rongkui pointed to the television screen with a trembling hand, "This … this … this is Su Qiming's daughter …"
"Ah?" Sun Chunyun was shocked. Her eyes widened, "This is Su Qiming's daughter? Oh my God! "
Fan Chunfang understood and quickly ran to the balcony. He saw Lu Yiwei pulling the driver, Xiao Liu, out of the car and driving out of the district in a frenzy.
"Su Qiming's daughter, Yiwei. Why is he so agitated? Don't tell me you went to look for her?" Sun Chunyun panicked and said, "Lao Fan, hurry up and look for Yiwei. He has an interview today. If you miss this opportunity, there won't be another one in the future …"
Fan Rongkui's mind was in a mess. He stood up and said, "No, I have to go back to Xi Zhou. If anything happens, no one can bear the responsibility!"
Lu Yiwei and Fan Rongkui left one after another. Sun Chunyun and Fan Chunfang stood there in a daze, not knowing what to say. Sun Chunyun sat on the sofa angrily and said, "This Yiwei is really too much. He gave up on his future and went to join in the fun. That's enough!"
"Mom! Don't talk so much, "Fan Chunfang said in frustration.
Although he had never mentioned the matter between Lu Yiwei and Su Meng, Fan Chunfang knew it very well. The two of them had been in a relationship for three to four years. If not for her father's interference, they would have gotten married a long time ago. But now, Lu Yiwei had given up on his future to look for Su Meng. It was obvious that he still had a place for Su Meng in his heart.
The place where Su Meng's accident happened was at the border between Xijiang Province and the neighboring province. As Lu Yiwei drove, he said in his heart, "Su Meng, you will definitely be fine. You will definitely be fine …"
The rain was getting heavier. The windshield wipers were swaying at the fastest speed, but his vision was still blurry. Lu Yiwei drove quickly based on his feelings. His heart was already in his throat, and his legs were trembling non-stop. His facial muscles were almost contorted, and his eyes were bloodshot. His eyebrows were furrowed into a dead knot, and his lips were purple. His gums were chattering.
No matter how skilled a driver was, it was useless in such a heavy rain. In addition, Lu Yiwei was driving very fast. At a turn, he made a 180-degree turn. Fortunately, there was flat ground on both sides. If there was a cliff, the car would have crashed and he would have died.
After the car straightened, Lu Yiwei sat in the car and panted heavily. He did not have time to fear and continued driving quickly to the scene of the accident.
Two hours later, Lu Yiwei finally arrived at the scene of Su Meng's accident. The embankment was filled with people, looking at the raging flood and sighing helplessly. The reporter next to him was still doing a live broadcast. Lu Yiwei did not care if it was a live broadcast or not. He rushed up and grabbed the female reporter and said, "Where is Su Meng?"
Lu Yiwei's action shocked the female reporter and she almost slipped to the ground. Looking at Lu Yiwei's bloodshot eyes, the female reporter put down the microphone and said, "Who are you to Su Meng?"
"I'm her friend."
At this time, the cameraman turned off the camera and walked forward, pointing at the vast flood in front of him and said, "Look! There was a village here this morning, but now it has been razed to the ground. Su Meng was swept away by the flood to save a child … "
The female reporter was so scared that she hugged her head and cried, "Please don't ask me. I don't know anything!"
Lu Yiwei suddenly sat on the ground in despair. His newly bought suit was covered in mud. He put his hands on the ground and tried to stand up, but his legs were too weak to stand up. After trying a few times, he directly lay down in the mud.
Seeing this, the cameraman hurriedly helped him up and comforted him, "Comrade, we don't want to see such a thing happen. Maybe Su Meng is not dead. She is probably still alive …"
Without waiting for the cameraman to finish, Lu Yiwei grabbed his collar and roared, "Su Meng is not dead. What right do you have to say that she is dead? F * ck your mother!" After saying that, he punched the cameraman to the ground.
Not far away, the staff saw this scene and quickly surrounded Lu Yiwei. "What are you doing? Still causing trouble at this time? Where are the police? Cuff him! "
With that said, a few policemen quickly walked forward and took out handcuffs to cuff Lu Yiwei. Lu Yiwei had already entered a state of madness. He grabbed the man who had just shouted and directly punched him. Then, he kicked him wildly and cursed, "F * ck your mother, I will kill you …"
The policemen quickly surrounded Lu Yiwei and subdued him. At this time, the cameraman wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "Don't cuff him. He is Su Meng's friend …"
Hearing this, everyone was stunned. Lu Yiwei struggled with all his might and suddenly lay down in the mud. He stood up shakily and said weakly, "Why don't you save Su Meng? Why …"
A man who looked like a leader walked forward and gave the policemen a look, signaling them to leave. He walked up to Lu Yiwei and said, "Comrade, we are trying our best to find Su Meng. Don't worry, we will not leave her alone …"
Lu Yiwei suddenly made a shocking move. He suddenly knelt in front of the leader, hugged his legs and cried, "I beg you, please save Su Meng. She is still young and not married …"
Lu Yiwei's cries moved everyone at the scene. Everyone looked serious. Some of the women quietly turned around to wipe their tears.
The leader helped Lu Yiwei up and comforted him, "Comrade, you have to calm down. We can understand your feelings. Please give us some time. We will use all our strength to find Comrade Su Meng. "
Lu Yiwei suddenly came back to his senses and shook his head. "No, no, no, I want to go find her." After saying that, he ran towards the embankment like crazy. Seeing this, the staff went forward and hugged Lu Yiwei tightly. He shouted, "Such a big flood, are you going to die?"
Lu Yiwei fell on the embankment and looked at the merciless flood, crying, "Su Meng, where are you? I'm here, come out and look at me. I'm Lu Yiwei, can you hear me … "
The leader's expression was solemn. He said to the staff next to him, "Watch him carefully. Don't do anything stupid." Then he asked another leader, "How is it, have you made the arrangements?"
The man said, "Everything has been arranged. Every spillway is guarded by someone. We have also sent swimmers who are good at swimming to search downstream."
