Lu Yiwei smiled. "Secretary Xiao, we have known each other for a long time. Just say what you want. There's no need to beat around the bush."
Xiao Zhiliang looked at him with a slightly drunk expression. The corner of his mouth twitched as he raised his glass and drank it in one gulp. He sighed and said, "After staying at the grassroots level for a long time, I've slowly developed a feeling of boredom. It's not that I don't want to work, but the key is that my heart is tired, too tired. I want to move. "
Xiao Zhiliang finally spoke his mind. Lu Yiwei did not look at him and continued to eat. After a while, Lu Yiwei wiped his mouth and said, "It's good to have a progressive mindset. What's the point of being a government official? It's to serve the people, but it's also understandable if it's related to personal matters. I support you."
Seeing that Lu Yiwei's words were superficial, Xiao Zhiliang bluntly said, "Brother Lu, I, Xiao Zhiliang, have only cared about my work these past few years and neglected my relationship with the upper echelons. Although there are a few people who can help me, Secretary Xu is a disciplinary officer, and many people are afraid of him. Since he took office, he had dealt with more than a hundred officials, and 15 of them were above the divisional level. Among them, the one with the highest authority was the Chairman of the Municipal People's Political Consultative Conference, Du Weiqiang. I don't mean anything by it. I just hope you can put in a good word for me in front of Secretary Xu. "
Lu Yiwei flicked his cigarette and said, "I don't have a good relationship with Secretary Xu, and I might not be able to help you."
Xiao Zhiliang was stunned and smiled. "It's just you and me today. There's no need to hide. If there's any other way, I won't beg you. So, please help me improve. "
At this point, Lu Yiwei didn't want to beat around the bush. He went straight to the point. "Then where do you want to go?"
Xiao Zhiliang's eyes lit up. "There's still a vacancy for a deputy mayor in the city …"
Lu Yiwei went silent for a while. "Is the competition intense?"
Xiao Zhiliang said honestly, "It's a little difficult. As far as I know, many people are eyeing this position, and they are using their own forces to step up their operations. We can't rule out that some people in the neighboring city and the province are ready to make a move."
From the moment he agreed to eat with Xiao Zhiliang, Lu Yiwei had already decided to help him. Firstly, he was his old leader, and secondly, he was his parent. Moreover, they had gotten along quite well in the past. The fact that he was willing to pay him a visit today meant that he still cared about him. In other words, helping him up today would do more good than harm to his future development. In the officialdom, officials always protected each other. Personality and ability alone were not enough to achieve great things. On a deeper level, he also needed to cultivate his own forces, and not always live in the shadows of others.
The relationship between Lu Yiwei and Xu Shousong had deepened because of Xu Lei, but he had never asked him for anything over the years. As long as he asked, the other party should not refuse. But it must be known that it was also difficult for him to be the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. There were forces from all sides competing for a position, and if he agreed to someone, he would definitely offend others. Maybe he already had a suitable candidate in mind, and the sudden appearance of Xiao Zhiliang would more or less make him feel disgusted. It was not appropriate to tell him directly.
Lu Yiwei thought for a long time and said, "Who are the competitors? Can you get hold of their connections? "
Xiao Zhiliang said, "The Municipal Urban Construction Bureau Chief Liu, the Development and Reform Commission Chief Zhou, the Municipal Archives Bureau Chief Liu Kecheng, and the Guchuan County Magistrate Bai Yuxin."
Lu Yiwei suddenly sat up and said in surprise, "Who are you talking about? Liu Kecheng and Bai Yuxin?"
"Yes."
"Oh."
Needless to say, Liu Kecheng was Lu Yiwei's nemesis. He had been in charge of Nanyang County for nearly ten years, and was a domineering official. He had brought down three successive Magistrates, and even sent himself to Beihe Town. Finally, he was driven out of Nanyang County by Zhang Zhiyuan, and became the Municipal Archives Bureau Chief. His ending was relatively bleak, but he still did not give up. It would be a disaster if this kind of person climbed up to the top.
Bai Yuxin was also an old acquaintance. When Zhang Zhiyuan was the Magistrate of Nanyang County, he specially asked Guo Jinzhu to use him again for the enterprise restructuring, and led the restructuring of the state-owned coal enterprises in Nanyang County. After Zhang Zhiyuan left, he was transferred to Guchuan County as the Organization Minister, and in a few years, he became the Magistrate. This progress was not slow, and the key was that he had someone supporting him. As a Magistrate, he dared to covet the position of Deputy Mayor, so there must be someone behind him. Could it be Zhang Zhiyuan? He was not sure. If it was, Xiao Zhiliang basically did not have much hope.
Lu Yiwei and Bai Yuxin had a good relationship, and they often visited each other. But Lu Yiwei had never mentioned this in front of Dong Xuebing, and he hid it well. But it was difficult for him to directly become the Deputy Mayor. This was equivalent to skipping a grade. He had not been the Secretary of the County party committee before, and he was thinking of becoming the Deputy Mayor. Xu Shousong probably did not dare to violate the rules to promote him, but who knows.
Xiao Zhiliang saw that Dong Xuebing did not speak, and asked carefully: "Is it difficult?"
Lu Yiwei nodded and said: "Of course there is, and it is very difficult. To a large extent, Secretary Xu can no longer make the decision, and I think he is also waiting. If you suddenly appear, there will be changes. So, I can help you, but don't have too much hope, and prepare for the worst. "
Xiao Zhiliang rubbed his chin and asked: "Is there no other way?"
Lu Yiwei quickly analyzed this matter and said, "Secretary Xiao, you should have heard of my relationship with Mayor Bai. Although he didn't tell me about this, I can't kick him when he's down. However, the possibility of him promoting me isn't high. As for the rest, I am not familiar with them, and I don't know what connections they have. Looking for Secretary Xu is the right choice, but it lacks a foundation. How about this? Let me think about it, and I will call you when there is a decision. "
Xiao Zhiliang shook Lu Yiwei's hand excitedly: "Brother Lu, I know you will help me. Let's not waste time. Whether it is successful or not, I will remember this favor. Thank you. "
"You are welcome. You are my father, and you will be in charge of me no matter where I go."
"Haha, you flatter me. I didn't do much for you and your family. I'm ashamed."
Lu Yiwei immediately said: "My parents are honest farmers, and I do not want you to disturb them. Letting them live out their old age in peace is my biggest wish. "
Xiao Zhiliang understood what he meant and nodded.
Xiao Zhiliang had said what he needed to say, and he stood up in time: "Thank you, Secretary Lu, for listening to my report despite your busy schedule. It is getting late, and I will not disturb you anymore. When you return to Nanyang County, I will be sure to treat you with great hospitality. I came here in a hurry, and I did not bring anything. I brought you two bottles of good wine as a token of my appreciation. I will ask the driver to bring them to your car, is that okay? "
