"Yiwei, are you free this weekend?"
Lu Yiwei looked at him and smiled, "I should be asking you this question. Do you have any instructions?"
Yan Jie stretched his body and whispered, "I haven't played for a while. Do you want to play a round or two?"
Everyone had their own hobbies. Yan Jie usually liked playing mahjong. Lu Yiwei knew how to play, but he was not addicted and rarely took the initiative to play. Seeing that the other party was in high spirits, he said straightforwardly, "Sure, I'll make an appointment. I'll call you when it's time. I'm just afraid you won't have time."
Yan Jie smiled, "It depends. It should be no problem."
"Okay, then you go ahead. I'll contact you when the time comes."
Lu Yiwei got up and walked to the door. He bumped into his father-in-law, Fan Rongkui. He said in surprise, "Dad … Secretary Fan, are you looking for Secretary Bai?"
Fan Rongkui still did not look happy. He looked inside and said, "Is Old Bai in?"
"Yes."
Fan Rongkui ignored him and walked straight in.
Lu Yiwei returned to his office with many doubts. He was in a mess. He could not guess why Fan Rongkui came today. Could it be related to him? He did not dare to think further. Just as he took out his phone to make a call, Shi Xiaoman had already called. He did not stay and went downstairs to Guwei District.
In Bai Zongfeng's office, Fan Rongkui sat opposite him on the sofa. Bai Zongfeng handed him a cigarette and smiled, "Lao Fan, why are you in the mood to come here today? Is there something good?"
The two of them used to have a normal relationship. They only nodded at each other. Later, because of Lu Yiwei, they got to know each other. Moreover, he joined Xu Caimao's circle as the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. Their relationship took another step forward. Their circle did not have names like other factions, such as Hometown Club, Classmate Club, Nanshan Gang, Dadong Club, and so on. Because the members were mixed, there was no pattern to follow. They all supported each other for the same purpose. However, they often gathered at the East Lake Club, so people called them the "East Lake Club".
The original leader of the Donghu Society was Tan Liangnian, who had served as the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee of Beizhou City. Later, he was promoted to the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and the Minister of Organization. In the end, he retired as the Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee. During his tenure as the Organization Minister of the Provincial Party Committee, he promoted many leading cadres. Guo Jinzhu, Xu Caimao, Bai Zongfeng, and even Fan Rongkui and Xu Shousong were all promoted by him. It was like a large tree slowly growing into a towering tree that could sweep away everything in its path.
Tan Liangnian had stopped meddling in the affairs of Xijiang and was recuperating in Tsingtao. After his withdrawal, Guo Jinzhu became the leader of the Donghu Society. Later on, Zhang Zhiyuan and Lu Yiwei had both entered the circle through this big ship of his. From the looks of it, the Donghu Society was developing rapidly. It was a force that could not be underestimated.
Fan Rongkui and Bai Zongfeng were old acquaintances. He joked, "What good news can I have? It should be you, my brother. Secretary Zhang gave you such a lucrative job. If you really get it, I think you will be a member of the Standing Committee. Haha. "
Bai Zongfeng quickly waved his hand and said, "Don't make fun of me. Do you think I'm willing to do such a thankless thing? If you do it well, it will be the credit of the Provincial Party Committee. If you don't, it will be your responsibility. I'm going crazy from not being able to please both sides. "
Fan Rongkui flicked the ash off his cigarette and said slowly, "This kind of thing is hard to do. It depends on how you handle it. You have to know that if you take advantage of the situation to clear land for you, the land will grow by dozens of times in the future. Cooperate with the future transformation of the old city. When you get all of it, you will be a member of the Standing Committee. "
Bai Zongfeng thought so too. What was the point of being a government official? It was just to climb up bit by bit. It was the same as killing monsters to level up. It was just that every stage had a different perspective. However, some words could only be hidden in his heart and not expressed. He said, "I didn't think that far ahead. I just want to cooperate with the Provincial Party Committee to complete this task. I don't want to stay here anymore. Hurry up and let me take on an easy job in a department. That's enough."
The language of the government was rich because every sentence had to be interpreted by others. Even the people close to them were not willing to express their true thoughts. If it was spread to the ears of the provincial leaders, it would be a big taboo in the government. Of course, Fan Rongkui did not believe Bai Zongfeng's words. He leaned forward and said, "Old Bai, I feel that you should not stay here for so many years after coming down from Beijing. You should return to the central government while you're still young and gain some experience. In the future, when you are sent out, you will at least be promoted to the provincial level."
Bai Zongfeng smiled bitterly. "You think I want to stay here? Some things can't be rushed. I'll take it slow. What about you? "
At the mention of him, Fan Rongkui also frowned. He shook his head and said, "Jiangdong City is not easy. Western State is also a mess. The foundation is weak and there are no resources. If we want to develop the economy, we can't do anything. We can only do it on the land. "It's just in time for the development of the western region. Secretary Zhang has proposed urban development. Next year, I plan to start the transformation of the old city and change the appearance of the city first."
"Mmm."
Bai Zongfeng said thoughtfully, "This idea is highly consistent with the Provincial Party Committee. There shouldn't be a problem. I don't have much money here. I can ask for donations from Old Xu. He's rich. "
Fan Rongkui smiled and said, "I knew you were going to say that. I don't care. When the time comes, you'll have to help me a little."
Bai Zongfeng said helplessly, "Alright, we'll talk about it when the time comes. You're not here to ask for donations from me today, are you?"
Fan Rongkui's face darkened. He smoked for a long time and said, "I'm here today to talk to you about Yiwei."
"Oh? Yiwei's performance was quite good. We talked a lot just now. This young man has ideas. He's quick-witted and quick-witted. He's a reliable person. "
Fan Rongkui smiled faintly and asked, "Do you really think he's reliable?"
Bai Zongfeng looked confused. "Why? You don't even trust your son-in-law?"
Fan Rongkui put out his cigarette and said expressionlessly, "Old Bai, you appreciate him for his work, but I'm saving him for my family. "As the saying goes, don't wash your dirty linen in public. But my family's affairs have been made public, so I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. "In the eyes of others, he's excellent and even perfect. But at home, he used cold violence against my daughter … I regret it."
