After Hou Zecheng left, a smile appeared on Lu Yiwei's face. "Playing mind games with me? No way."
Lu Yiwei had gained a lot from his work in the Municipal Party Committee over the years. On the one hand, he had learned the art of leadership of a higher-level leader. On the other hand, he had learned to manage his emotions. He was no longer like before, where he would do whatever he wanted to do and not care about the consequences. Now, regardless of whether it was a big or a small matter, he would think carefully and repeatedly. He would only implement it when he felt that it was impeccable and watertight. In particular, he could not speak nonsense because to a large extent, it represented Bai Zongfeng's point of view. Others would mistakenly think that it was the Municipal Party Committee's decision. If he was not careful, he might cause trouble and get into big trouble.
Hou Zecheng was clearly digging a hole for him just now, and he would jump into it later. Once he said the solution, he would definitely announce that it was Bai Zongfeng's instruction. If there was a mistake, he would push the blame to the Municipal Party Committee. This way, he would appear passive.
Lu Yiwei got up and was about to report to Bai Zongfeng when Bao Shuming pushed the door open and came in. "Didn't you ask for leave? Why are you back so soon?"
Lu Yiwei hurriedly said, "The original plan was three days. I finished the matter in advance, so I came back early."
"Oh, it's good that you're back. I have arranged the work for tomorrow's meeting to Zhao Zhiwen. Later, you go and check the speech of Governor Shen and Secretary Bai. At the same time, carefully review the implementation plan. I want to see it before I get off work this afternoon. "
"Okay."
Bao Shuming was about to leave when he turned around and asked, "Do you know about the car factory fire?"
This was a tricky question. It was not appropriate to answer yes or no. Lu Yiwei did not have time to think and simply replied, "Yes."
"Oh."
After that, he turned around and left.
It was a simple question, but Lu Yiwei actually broke out in a cold sweat. It seemed like a casual question, but in fact, there was a huge mystery hidden in it. If he did not know, he had already done something stupid by appearing at the car factory early. After that, he would think that he was deliberately deceiving him. If he knew, how did he find out? Was it his subordinates who reported to him, or was it Bai Zongfeng who called him? This was the answer Bao Shuming wanted to know.
Bao Shuming could be considered a veteran in Jiangdong City. He had risen from a grassroots cadre to a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and the Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee. The first part of his resume could be ignored, but he must be mentioned as the deputy mayor of Jiangdong City. He had been in this position for ten years. According to the relevant regulations, a term was held every five years, which meant that he had served two full terms. On the surface, it didn't seem like much, but for politicians, ten years was simply too long.
Many officials would be promoted after one term, or at the very least, they would be moved forward a little. However, he had been working for ten years. This could only mean one thing. He was not capable, or the leader did not like him.
Leaders who came from the grassroots were superficial in terms of ability. They must have extraordinary abilities to climb up. There was no doubt about Bao Shuming's ability. He had made outstanding contributions in the industrial field and was praised by the provincial government. He even received a commendation from the State Council. Only he knew why such a capable person wasn't promoted.
Bao Shuming used his connections with the upper echelons to finally enter the Standing Committee and became the Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee. This was enough for him. After all, he wasn't young anymore. However, he still had other ideas. He planned to take another step forward before he retired.
Lu Yiwei didn't know him before, but after working with him for a long time, he naturally understood his temperament. This person was very shrewd, too tactful, suspicious, selfish, and jealous. He often said one thing on the surface and another. Bai Zongfeng didn't like such a personality, but he had to use him because of his reputation.
Lu Yiwei didn't have any grudges with him, but Bai Zongfeng often bypassed him and directly arranged for Lu Yiwei. Naturally, Bai Zongfeng didn't feel it was fair. Fortunately, Lu Yiwei had been keeping a low profile for the past few years. He didn't care about the details, big or small. Otherwise, he would have been killed long ago.
The higher the level of an official, the more wisdom was needed.
Lu Yiwei made a call to the Secretarial Department, wondering if he should meet Bai Zongfeng. If he didn't meet Bai Zongfeng and other matters were delayed, he would be blamed in the end. It wasn't worth it. After thinking for a long time, he got up and walked over.
When he arrived at the waiting room, a few city leaders were waiting anxiously. When they saw him, they immediately got up and shook hands. Lu Yiwei's position wasn't high, but everyone knew his weight. Naturally, they didn't dare to slight him.
After exchanging some greetings, Lu Yiwei came to the Secretarial Department and saw Yan Jie typing away on the computer. He went forward and glanced at it. It was the speech script for tomorrow's meeting. When Yan Jie saw him, it was as if he had seen his savior. "Secretary Lu, you're finally back. I've already revised three drafts of my speech, but Secretary Bai is still not satisfied. I'm worried to death. "
As a secretary, Lu Yiwei's writing materials was the stepping stone to his career. He hadn't lost his skills over the years. Usually, Bai Zongfeng's speech would be drafted by the Secretarial Department first, then handed over to Yan Jie to revise the second draft. Then, Yan Jie would make amendments and additions. After Bao Shuming reviewed it, it would be handed over to Bai Zongfeng. Such a strict procedure might seem boring and complicated, but if there were any mistakes, it would be a big joke.
Although Lu Yiwei had only worked for Bai Zongfeng for a short time, he had figured out Bai Zongfeng's thinking and habits. This was comprehension, and others couldn't imitate it. Yan Jie had worked longer than him, but he still couldn't figure out the leader's thoughts. He was not suitable to be a secretary.
Lu Yiwei glanced at it and asked. "Is Governor Shen's speech script out?"
"Not yet. The Secretarial Department is still revising it. The general office of the provincial government has already called several times to urge us. We're almost going crazy. "
Lu Yiwei patted his shoulder. "Don't worry. Take your time. Come to my office later."
Yan Jie was relieved and said gratefully. "You're back at the right time. If not, I don't know how to report to the Governor."
Lu Yiwei held his breath and listened to the movements inside. He whispered, "Who's inside?"
"Mayor Liu."
"Oh."
Yan Jie lowered his voice. "Secretary Bai is in a bad mood today. He had lost his temper three times this morning. Just now, he scolded Secretary Bao. "
"Why?"
"I guess it's because of tomorrow's meeting and the fire in the car factory. How can he not be angry?"
"Oh."
Lu Yiwei looked at his watch. "How long has Mayor Liu been in there?"
"About five minutes."
Lu Yiwei came to the waiting room and asked Cao Jiandong, the Director of the Municipal Bureau of Land and Resources. "Chief Cao, is there anything urgent to see Secretary Bai?"
Cao Jiandong nodded and whispered. "I want to report about the land in Qiyang District."
Lu Yiwei said. "Come back the day after tomorrow. Today is not the time."
Cao Jiandong immediately understood. He stood up and shook Lu Yiwei's hand. "Secretary Lu, if it's convenient for Secretary Bai, please give me a call."
"No problem. I will report you."
