The next day, after sending off Su Meng, Lu Yiwei took a detour to the Sky Rhyme Pavilion to pick up Li Haidong, and they rushed all the way back to Beihe Town.
At the entrance of the town hall, Lu Yiwei said to Li Haidong, "Go to Niu Fuyong's place and wait for me. I have something to do in town. I'll be right back."
After Li Haidong got out of the car, he drove into the town hall's compound. When he got out of the car and closed the door, he deliberately made a lot of noise, and then he walked towards the government building with his head held high.
Lu Yiwei's action immediately attracted the attention of the government officials. For the remote and poor Beihe Town, other than the Santana of the Party Committee Secretary Wei Guoqiang, there were very few cars going in and out. Other than the county leaders coming down to inspect, the only person who could own a car was the richest man in Beihe Town, Niu Fuyong. But now, Lu Yiwei actually bought a car, which made the government officials have mixed feelings.
Back then, when Lu Yiwei was convicted and demoted to Beihe Town, the Party Committee Secretary Wei Guoqiang actively maintained a high degree of unity with the County party committee and the county government, and gave Lu Yiwei the cold shoulder. First, he took away his authority, and then he was kicked out of the town government. The government officials had the mentality of "beating a dog when he's down", and they one-sidedly rejected this abandoned chess piece. Even the chef in the cafeteria treated him coldly.
In China's officialdom, there was no such thing as being in opposition or not. There were only two extreme paths, success or failure. Once one entered the officialdom, if one wanted to make a difference, one had to choose a side and choose a side. If one bet on the right side, one's future would be bright, and if one bet on the wrong side, one's career would end. If one wanted to make a comeback, it would be difficult to enter the center of power again without extraordinary ability and the support of the higher-ups.
Of course, there was another kind of people in between these two paths. They were the so-called "neutral", "fence-sitters", and "fence-sitters". These people usually did not have a good ending in the end. They could either live an ignoble existence for the rest of their lives, or they could become a victim of politics and be captured as a "model" to be used as a negative example. For those in politics, these two paths could be said to be painful and lamentable.
For Lu Yiwei, it was not up to him to choose a side. From the day he became the secretary of the county head, Chu Yunchi, he had been labeled as the "Chu Faction". In the dispute between Liu and Chu, although he played a small role, the narrow-minded Secretary of the County party committee, Liu Kecheng, wiped out the Chu faction in one fell swoop to vent his anger.
Lu Yiwei had suffered unfair treatment in North River Town. Chu Yunchi, who was sitting on a "cold bench" far away in Bei Zhou City, could even imagine it. However, he himself was like a clay Bodhisattva crossing the river, unable to protect himself. He could only close his eyes and sigh in sorrow about Lu Yiwei's misfortune.
