Donghu Hotel was the most luxurious five-star hotel in Jiangdong, but it had long been surpassed by the Stars International Hotel in Dongzhou and the Sheraton International Hotel chain in Nanzhou. Nanzhou, in particular, had been developing rapidly in recent years. Entertainment and real estate had become the city's pillar industries. Its prosperity was no less than that of a coastal international metropolis. The provincial capital had been overtaken by two prefecture-level cities. One could imagine how frustrated it was.
Lu Yiwei didn't want to go to Donghu Hotel. Leaders often came and went. It wouldn't be a big deal to bump into them, but it wouldn't be right if he didn't offer a few drinks. But Xiao Zhiliang had already booked a room, so he couldn't refuse.
Before getting out of the car, Lu Yiwei said to Hu Peng, "Go get something to eat. Come pick me up in an hour."
After entering the hall, Xiao Zhiliang jumped up from the sofa and stretched out his hand from afar. He walked over with a smile and his eyes were filled with excitement and joy. He shook Yi Wei's hand a few times and said, "Yiwei, long time no see."
Lu Yiwei couldn't tell if he was being sincere or just putting on an act. He smiled and said, "Long time no see. I miss you."
"Haha, it's your fault. Every time you go home, you don't look for me. I thought I offended you."
"Haha, I'm sorry. I'm in a hurry every time I go home. I know you're busy with work. I don't want to bother you."
"What are you talking about? I wish you'd bother me. Let's not talk here. Let's go upstairs. "
Xiao Zhiliang held onto Lu Yiwei's hand the whole time. He didn't let go until they were out of the elevator. Lu Yiwei deliberately quickened his pace as he walked to the room, afraid of bumping into someone he knew. Just as he walked to the door of a private room, Fan Rongkui came out with a red face. He was stunned when he saw him, then looked at Xiao Zhiliang and asked, "Why are you …"
Fan Rongkui was the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee of Xizhou City. Although he wasn't in charge, who knew if he would become his leader in the future. He quickly stepped forward and said respectfully, "Secretary Fan, I didn't expect you to be here. I'm reporting to Secretary-General Lu about the work in my hometown. Would you like to join us?"
Fan Rongkui looked at Xiao Zhiliang for a moment, then turned to Lu Yiwei and said, "Oh, then you guys eat, I have guests here. Yiwei will come over later to propose a toast. Shou Song happens to be there too. "
Lu Yiwei and Fan Rongkui had not seen each other for a long time, so they were not familiar with each other. He nodded and said, "Then I will talk to Secretary Xiao for a while."
"Okay, you guys have a good chat." After that, he turned around and picked up his phone to make a call.
After entering the private room, Lu Yiwei helplessly smiled. "The next time we want to eat, let's go to a roadside restaurant. The food is pretty good, and it's quiet. There are too many people here, and I can't handle it."
Xiao Zhiliang had purposely arranged for the dinner to be held here because he heard that Xu Shousong would be having dinner here tonight. He could use Lu Yiwei's presence to meet his direct superior. Firstly, he could pass on a message, and secondly, the other party could see that his relationship with Lu Yiwei was not ordinary. Xiao Zhiliang did not know where he got the news that Xu Shousong and Lu Yiwei had a special relationship. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so he must take it. He smiled. "It's all my fault. It's not easy for me to treat you to a meal, so I should have picked a better place. Haha."
Lu Yiwei took the cigarette from Xiao Zhiliang's hand and lit it up. "How is Secretary Xiao?"
Xiao Zhiliang took a puff and said thoughtfully, "I'm fine. You know the situation in Nanyang. In the past two years, the county's finance has been increasing by leaps and bounds, especially this year, it has exceeded 800 million. It is estimated that it will reach 1 billion by the end of the year, and it will definitely be the fastest in the city. "
Lu Yiwei exclaimed, "Secretary Xiao, you are the hero of Nanyang County. Three to four years ago, it was only 300 million, and now it has quadrupled. "
Xiao Zhiliang said modestly, "You're flattering me. This is not my credit, but the country has opened up the coal market, and the price of coal has been rising. I can't believe it. Let's not talk about others, just the Xihe Coal Mine alone has paid at least 200 million in taxes this year, which is one-fifth of the county's revenue. Niu Fuyong is the hero. "
Xiao Zhiliang knew about the relationship between Lu Yiwei and Niu Fuyong, so he deliberately brought him up. Lu Yiwei nodded. "Since the benefits of coal are so good, we should seize the time to speed up the development of the city. Nanyang County is too shabby, and it should be changed long ago. If it wasn't for you building an administrative center, it would be worse than a town in Jiangdong."
"Yes, I also have the same intention. We had a meeting two days ago, and we plan to invest 2 billion tomorrow to start the construction of more than 50 projects, and more than half of them are related to the people's livelihood. We will rebuild three squares, widen 12 roads, start the construction of 10 residential areas, and build 20 office buildings. We have specially hired a national design unit to plan the county, and in three to five years, the county will have a great change. "
Lu Yiwei was very encouraged, and said excitedly, "Secretary Xiao, if you really change the face of Nanyang County, the people of Nanyang will remember it. This is the real thinking of the people. In addition, this is also in line with the idea of the Provincial Party Committee to build the city. "
Xiao Zhiliang waved his hand and said, "You flatter me, this is what I should do. I wanted to ask Fuyong to come with me tonight, but he went to the capital and will only be back in two days. In addition, in view of Boss Niu's contribution to Nanyang, I plan to recommend him to the county People's Congress in the next election, and then to the city People's Congress. Also, the provincial government has already awarded him an outstanding young entrepreneur in the province. "
The 17th National Congress had just come to an end, and the next one was still three to four years away. Since the other party praised Niu Fuyong so much, Lu Yiwei did not stand on ceremony, and said, "Fuyong is uncultured, straightforward, and bold, but he is quick-witted, and dares to take risks. He also has a lot of shortcomings, and he needs more guidance from Secretary Xiao. Once this kind of person is not disciplined, he will be like a runaway wild horse, and no one can control him. "
"Haha, only you can control him, I dare not offend this god of wealth."
Xiao Zhiliang was speaking the truth, Niu Fuyong was not afraid of anything, and he had never taken anyone seriously except for Xiao Zhiliang, and his words were worth ten of their words. This was due to the friendship he had built with heart and love, and when he was in trouble, he did not kick him when he was down, but did his best to support him. On the other hand, if it was not for Lu Yiwei's advice and guidance, Niu Fuyong would not be where he is today.
