A gratified smile appeared on Bai Zongfeng's face. He sat up and leaned against the chair. His fingers rhythmically tapped on the armrest. "Yiwei, I haven't talked to you in a long time. I'm too busy with work, so I don't have time to sit down and have a good chat. Back then, I took a lot of pressure to get you by my side because I value your ability, character, and courage. I'm gratified to see you maturing over the years. "
"I like people with character. Just like what you did in Black Mountain County and the high-tech zone. There were many controversies, but it couldn't cover your brilliance and potential. However, I feel that you've been keeping a low profile all these years. It's not that you haven't done a good job, but you've done a good job. You're well-organized and have a way to coordinate relationships. But that's not what I want. You're a man, after all. You should be fearless and aggressive. You're only in your thirties, at the age where you're like a wolf and a tiger. Why have you become so timid? Are you afraid of offending people? "
Lu Yiwei lowered his head and said thoughtfully, "Secretary Bai, I've never been afraid of offending people. As long as I stand on the side of justice and the side of the majority of the people, I will always believe in the truth that evil cannot prevail over good."
Seeing that Lu Yiwei was avoiding the question, Secretary Bai sat up and took out a cigarette from the pack. He threw it to Lu Yiwei and lit it up. "Then tell me, what caused you to become like this?"
Lu Yiwei didn't expect Bai Zongfeng to ask such a sharp question. He smiled awkwardly. "I don't think I've changed. I'm still the same as before. It's just that the working environment has changed. I should work hard to adapt to the environment and not be a lone wolf."
Bai Zongfeng waved his hand. "As for the reason, you know it best. I won't ask if you don't want to say it. I've said that you don't have to worry about the future. I will consider it. Work with me for another two years, and I'll know where I want to go. "
As he spoke, someone knocked on the door. Bai Zongfeng frowned and snorted. Bao Shuming came in from the secretary's office. Bai Zongfeng's office was similar to other leaders' offices. There were three suites. The first room was the waiting room with a few sofas for guests. The second door was the secretary's office, which was responsible for arranging work and conveying instructions. The third door was the office, where most of the guests reported their work. There was also a fourth door, which led to a private meeting room where important matters were discussed. Few people could enter. The last door led to the lounge, which was convenient for Bai Zongfeng to rest during lunch or overtime.
The Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee's office wasn't accessible to just anyone, but Bao Shuming and Lu Yiwei were exceptions. They could directly enter the third door without asking for permission.
Without waiting for Bao Shuming to speak, Bai Zongfeng waved his hand and said, "You go out first and wait for a while. I'll have a few words with Yiwei."
Bao Shuming looked a little embarrassed. He looked at Lu Yiwei as if he wanted to say something, but hesitated. Then he quietly retreated.
Bai Zongfeng continued, "Yiwei, let's not talk about what happened in the past. From now on, you must bring out your courage. Don't be afraid of offending others. I'll take care of everything. The relocation of the enterprise was a political task finalized by the Provincial Party Committee and the provincial government. If it could not be completed, it would not look good on anyone. "You've seen the situation in Jiangdong. Many leaders don't dare to take responsibility. They're afraid of hurting their own interests. They're taking a wait-and-see attitude. There aren't many people who can be used.
"The reason why I asked you to let go of your current work and put you in charge of the automobile factory is to set an example. "Just now, you said that you can pull it out in a month. I'm very happy. This is the result I want. But it might not be done in a month. I'll give you 50 days. You must succeed. "
Lu Yiwei said confidently, "It's only a month. I'm confident I can do it."
"Great!"
Bai Zongfeng stood up excitedly and extinguished his cigarette. "Since you said so, I'll fully support you. If there's any resistance in the process, you can handle it yourself. You don't have to ask for my permission. If you can't make up your mind, report it to me. I'll back you up. Now, the main task of our city is the relocation of the enterprise. Everything related to this project will be given the green light. Is Hou Zecheng cooperating? "
Lu Yiwei didn't want to add insult to injury. "It's fine. But he seems to be very sick."
Bai Zongfeng sneered. "This old fox! Let's give it a try. If it doesn't work, we'll remove him. "
"Alright."
"Alright. From today onwards, put down your work and focus on the project. I'll wait for your good news."
Before leaving, Lu Yiwei mustered up his courage and said. "Secretary Bai, due to the complexity of the automobile factory, I might use some unconventional methods. I hope you can support me."
Bai Zongfeng smiled. "I know you have a lot of ideas. Don't worry. I'll handle everything."
"Also, I hope Mayor Ma can be removed."
Bai Zongfeng thought for a moment and said. "Let her follow up. After all, this is the government's action. If anything happens, she can take the blame. Don't push the blame to you. Understand?"
Lu Yiwei instantly understood that Bai Zongfeng doesn't want to take too much responsibility. "Alright. I'll go out first."
"Okay."
Outside the door, Bao Shuming was chatting with his secretary, Yan Jie. When he saw Lu Yiwei, he turned sideways and said, "Done talking?"
Bao Shuming was a member of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee, the Secretary-General of the General Office of the Municipal Party Committee, and a core leader of the Municipal Party Committee. Lu Yiwei's relationship with him was neither cold nor warm, neither close nor distant. It was precisely this good distance that allowed the two of them to get along harmoniously. However, Bao Shuming was very shrewd. He didn't want Lu Yiwei to be so close to Bai Zongfeng.
Lu Yiwei said respectfully, "Secretary Bai said there might be a rally the day after tomorrow."
"Oh."
Bao Shuming got up, knocked on the door, and walked in.
Lu Yiwei was relieved. He took out a cigarette from his pocket and gave it to Yan Jie. Then he sat down and smoked.
Yan Jie was from the capital. When Bai Zongfeng was transferred to Xijiang Province, he brought him with him. After working for nearly ten years, he won Yan Jie's trust. At present, he is the director of the Political Research Office of the Municipal Party Committee and the director of the Confidential Bureau. This appointment shows the wisdom of the leader. The director of the Political Research Office is the deputy director of the General Office of the Municipal Party Committee, and the director of the Confidential Bureau is the director of the Confidential Bureau.
