"Secretary General Lu, are you busy?"
Lu Yiwei tried to recall the familiar yet strange voice. Judging from the accent, it must be from Bei Zhou City, and it must have been someone he knew. If the person knew his private number, it must have been someone close to him. He replied vaguely, "That's it. I'm doing fine. What about you?"
The person sighed, "I'm doing fine. I'm always busy. I just happened to be in River East today. Are you free at noon? Let's have lunch together. "
Lu Yiwei still did not know who the person was. Perhaps he had been away from Nanyang for too long and could not remember. He said cautiously, "Not at noon. I have a lot of things to do."
"How about tonight? It's not easy to meet you. You have to do me the honor."
Seeing the person's deep feelings, Lu Yiwei would be embarrassed to refuse. "Alright."
"Alright. Let's meet at Donghu Hotel at 7 pm."
After hanging up, Lu Yiwei was confused. He tried to recall the number but could not remember who it was. After thinking for a long time, he called Hu Zhixiong, the office director of the Hi-Tech Zone.
Hu Zhixiong was the only cadre he had brought out from Nanyang County. He was honest and reliable. Although they had not known each other for long, they had a good relationship and were worthy of being put in an important position.
Lu Yiwei went straight to the point, "Old Hu, I need some information. 135 … 8688. Whose number is this?"
Hu Zhixiong quickly said, "I haven't reported it to you yet. It's Xiao Zhiliang's."
Lu Yiwei was shocked. "You told him?"
"Yes. He said it was urgent, so I gave it to him."
"Oh. Next time, if someone asks for my number, just give me my work number. Don't give me my personal number."
Hu Zhixiong said apologetically, "I was anxious and gave the wrong number."
"Alright, it's fine. How are things on your side?"
Hu Zhixiong said with a frown, "It's a mess. Many companies have moved here. Some of the factories are not finished, and the resettlement houses are still under construction. There are also some petitions. Secretary Guo is dizzy from all the work. He even talked about you today. He said you left a mess behind and left. "
Lu Yiwei smiled. "It's not bad. At least I gave him a good foundation."
"That's right, but he doesn't appreciate it. He said that this is a high-tech zone, and the Provincial Government had given him all the companies. Why is it still called a high-tech zone? He was still grumbling earlier. "
"Haha, that's how Secretary Guo is. He's outspoken and straightforward, but he doesn't have a bad heart. You can learn a lot from him. Take your time, he won't treat you badly. "
"Yes, I understand."
"Alright, you go ahead with your work. I'm going out now."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Yiwei sat there and thought hard. Why was Xiao Zhiliang looking for him?
Xiao Zhiliang was the current Secretary of the County party committee of Nanyang County, Zhang Zhiyuan's successor. He was not as domineering as Liu Kecheng, nor was he dedicated to his career like Zhang Zhiyuan. His character flaw was destined to be a failure. His ability level was average, and he loved big things. It was not uncommon for such people to be able to survive in the bureaucracy. However, Nanyang County had indeed undergone earth-shattering changes in his hands. Back then, his great idea was to build the first comprehensive administrative center in Bei Zhou City, which would become the landmark of Nanyang County. Amidst a lot of opposition, he forcefully expropriated land and started construction. It was completed this summer, and it was indeed very grand. It had shut the mouths of those who opposed him back then.
Lu Yiwei was promoted to the Standing Committee of the County party committee on the eve of Zhang Zhiyuan's transfer. Xiao Zhiliang treated him well after he took office. The only thing that made him uncomfortable was the youth cadre selection. At that time, Nanyang County only had one candidate, and Xiao Zhiliang had given it to Fan Chunfang. If it weren't for Zhang Zhiyuan, he wouldn't have been able to get it.
Time had passed, and there were some things that had been forgotten. It would be narrow-minded to argue about it. Lu Yiwei guessed that Xiao Zhiliang had come to find him today because he had a new idea.
My phone rang. It was Shi Xiaoman. I packed my things and prepared to go downstairs. When I got downstairs, I saw Shi Xiaoman standing there alone. Lu Yiwei was curious. "Why are you alone? Where's Mayor Ma?"
"Mayor Ma went to Beijing for a meeting."
"When did that happen?"
"Last night, the municipal office informed me. It might take a few days."
I had a headache. If she didn't show up, many things wouldn't be easy to solve. After all, she was the Deputy Mayor and the person in charge of the relocation. She had the power to make decisions, while I was just a mediator. There were many things that I couldn't do personally. I couldn't help but think that she had chosen to leave at this critical moment. Was she purposely avoiding me? Who knows?
"Oh, about the relocation …"
Shi Xiaoman said, "Before Mayor Ma left, he said that you would be in charge of it. He asked me to assist you."
I smiled wryly and waved my hand. "Then get in the car."
"Okay!"
Shi Xiaoman smiled and got into the front passenger seat.
Lu Yiwei and Shi Xiaoman could be considered old acquaintances. They had come from Beihe Town, and now they were in Jiangdong together. It was fate. Without Ma Feifei in front of her, Shi Xiaoman became more casual. She turned around and smiled. "Yiwei, have you visited Xiao Yu recently?"
"Yes, I visited her last week."
"She'll be in middle school next year. Are you still planning to let her study at Victoria International School?"
"It depends. As long as she wants to, she can stay there."
Shi Xiaoman frowned. "It depends on how you raise your child in the future. If you plan to send her abroad, she can continue studying there. If she stays abroad, there's no need. After all, the education there is very different from the education in China. I'm afraid she won't be able to adapt to the public school. "
Lu Yiwei was confused. He thought for a long time and said, "This … I think it's better to ask her mother's opinion. I'm thinking of sending her abroad, but I'm afraid her mother won't be willing."
"Sigh! That's true. How is Sister Shuman? "
Lu Yiwei's face changed slightly when he mentioned his ex-wife. Shi Xiaoman stopped and quickly changed the topic. "About the relocation of the car factory, do you have any ideas?"
Lu Yiwei sighed. "You saw Hou Zecheng and Cai Xiaoqiang's attitude yesterday. They're both good at acting. I'll talk to them today. If they still have the same attitude, we'll think of something else. "
Shi Xiaoman also had a headache. She said angrily, "It's already a critical time, but they can't see the situation clearly. I think we should ask Secretary Bai to remove Hou Zecheng. Let's see if he still dares to act so slowly. "
