Bai Zongfeng was confused and did not know what was going on.
He knew a little about Lu Yiwei's private affairs, but he did not expect it to be so serious. Fan Rongkui put aside his pride and personally paid a visit, and did not avoid talking about family matters. It was obvious that the internal conflicts in the family had become morbid. Based on his understanding of Lu Yiwei, he was outstanding in all aspects and was exceptionally intelligent. He would not be so stupid as to give up such a powerful backer.
In addition, Fan Rongkui's character was flawed. He was rather domineering as an official, and he was petty and could not tolerate sand in his eyes. He was easily driven into a dead end. This might be directly related to his upbringing. He started working in the provincial ministries and commissions. He had a high starting point, but his career was not smooth. He had been sitting on the bench for decades, all the way until he became the deputy head of the Provincial Party Committee's Publicity Department. Everyone thought that he had retired from this position, including himself. He did not expect to unexpectedly get the position of a prefecture-level leader. His mentality changed greatly, and his whole person changed greatly. In the past, he was polite to everyone, but now he was arrogant and felt that others were inferior to him. Just like Fan Jin, he was so pleased with himself that he could no longer lower his head.
When interacting with such a person, one had to be careful at all times, and one could easily offend him. Once offended, he would take revenge sooner or later. He was like this with outsiders, but was it the same with his own family? He could not imagine how Lu Yiwei had survived all these years.
Bai Zongfeng was unmoved. He was as steady as Mount Tai as he calmly asked, "What exactly happened?"
Fan Rongkui sighed, "There are some things I do not know how to say. Do you remember the death of Su Qiming's daughter three years ago? "
Bai Zongfeng nodded, "I remember."
Fan Rongkui continued, "Let's not talk about other things first. Old Su losing his daughter is worthy of sympathy, but I never expected Yiwei to be in a relationship with his daughter. This does not matter. Everyone has a past, and let the past be the past. As for Yiwei, he suddenly stood up before anyone else. He gave up the chance to be selected, disregarded his wife and child, and risked his life to rescue him. What can you do? In the end, he became famous throughout the province. Everyone knows that the son-in-law of the Lao Fan family knelt down to guard the soul of another woman. He has completely lost the face of the Lao Fan family. "
The more Fan Rongkui spoke, the angrier he became. He took a few puffs of his cigarette and continued, "Fine, I, Fan Rongkui, am magnanimous. I won't fuss over this. But what did he do? For three months, he locked himself in his room and refused to see anyone. He even threatened to give up his official career and wandered the world. Are these the words of a man? All these years, he has been lukewarm to my daughter. If it wasn't for Fangfang's love for him, she would have broken off this marriage no matter what. "
Bai Zongfeng roughly understood that Fan Rongkui was indeed holding a grudge. It was as if the incident from three years ago was hanging on his lips and could be brought up at any time. He had heard of these trivial matters, and perhaps they were not even worth mentioning. Who had not made mistakes? Moreover, this was not considered a mistake. After all, humans are emotional creatures. It is normal for them to act irrationally towards the person they like, not to mention young people. As for whether it was as serious as he made it out to be, no one knew.
Bai Zongfeng kindly comforted him, "Lao Fan, since you are discussing this issue with me from your father's point of view, then I will also discuss it from your father's point of view. I think that the past should be the past. There is no need to keep dwelling on it. Besides, the person is already dead, so what's the point of pursuing it? Yiwei could risk his life for his former lover. I believe he would also risk his life for your daughter. After all, they are husband and wife. From another perspective, Yiwei is a person who values relationships and righteousness. He is worthy of respect. "
"As for the relationship between husband and wife, I think it is best for you not to interfere. Let the couple live their lives. It is normal for them to quarrel. If it is as you said, I believe that Yiwei would not have persisted until now. It shows that he still cares a lot about this family. Yiwei has been with me for three years. Although we did not talk much about personal matters, I believe that he is an upright and upright person. Especially when it comes to his lifestyle, there is absolutely no blemish. I can guarantee you that … "
"How dare he!"
Without waiting for Bai Zongfeng to finish, Fan Rongkui slammed the table heavily and said angrily, "If he has an affair outside and I find out, I will cripple him!"
Bai Zongfeng seemed to have found the root of the problem. He said with a bitter smile, "Lao Fan, you are already a grandfather. It is time to change your temper. Some things should be said calmly and not blindly blaming and complaining. Give Yiwei more freedom. He is so smart, he should be able to understand this. "
Fan Rongkui stared at him for a long time and said, "Why are you speaking up for him? According to you, it is all my fault?"
"No, no, no. He is definitely at fault. How about this, I will have a good chat with him later and talk about him. It is no big deal. It is just a lack of communication that caused the misunderstanding to deepen. As I said, let the two of them settle it themselves. "
Fan Rongkui was furious. He lit up his cigarette and said in a bad mood, "Old Bai, I am not here to complain to you today, nor am I listening to your advice. I will only say one thing. Are you going to help me or not?"
Bai Zongfeng said after a moment of silence, "Then tell me how I can help?"
"Transfer Yiwei out of the Municipal Party Committee to a relatively idle unit, such as the Federation of Culture, the Disabled, or the Federation of Industry and Commerce."
Bai Zongfeng was shocked and said in astonishment, "Did I hear it wrong? Are you talking about Yiwei?"
"Yes, that's him."
"What's the reason?"
"There is no reason. He is always using the excuse of being busy in the Municipal Party Committee. I want to see what excuse he can use to stay away from home after he is transferred out of the Municipal Party Committee. "
Bai Zongfeng smiled helplessly, "Isn't this method a little too extreme? Not only can it not solve the problem, but it will also intensify the conflict. The root of the problem is not here. If he is really transferred out, he will still be the same. Do we have to continue adjusting? We can control his people, but not his heart. It is a waste of effort. "
Fan Rongkui was already at a dead end and said fiercely, "If he still insists on doing this, we might as well transfer him to my side. Let's see if he still dares to mess around."
"Alright, I don't think there is a need. Yiwei's career is currently on the rise, and there is a lot of room for him to improve in the future. I am still planning to make him the Party Secretary after the relocation. You've really ruined his future by causing such a ruckus. Calm down and don't do anything stupid. "
Fan Rongkui was not rational at all and said stubbornly, "I am ruining him. This bastard is ambitious and wants to ride on the branch one day. I am afraid I can't control myself. "
