Early in the morning, it was another sunny day.
As the snow on the field melted, the temperature gradually warmed up. The cold wind became gentle, not as violent as before. However, the gray sky that came with it looked like fog, but it was actually haze. As a heavy industrial city, it seemed that industrial progress could not be avoided.
After waking up, Lu Yiwei stood in front of the window and watched the workers of the car factory exercising in the garden downstairs. Everything seemed so peaceful and comfortable. He did not have the heart to disturb the peace. After all, Jiangdong City was what it was today because of their hard work. Now, they had no choice but to move away from their hometown.
History was always fair. It used the wheel of progress to crush the old and rotten things and replace them with the new and cutting-edge things. Just like mobile phones, who would have thought that they would be popularized so quickly. In the development of a city, some people had to make sacrifices.
The doorbell rang. Hu Peng came in with bags of various sizes and placed them on the table. Lu Yiwei was surprised. "You brought so many things?"
Hu Peng smiled helplessly. "Sister Chunfang insisted that I carry them. I really thought you were not going home."
Lu Yiwei smiled knowingly. "Then put them in the bedroom first. I'll clean them up later."
Hu Peng ignored him. He carried the things in and carefully packed them up.
Watching his every move, Lu Yiwei had mixed feelings. He always felt that he had mistreated him. His father was a division leader and the director of the high-tech zone, but he drove him. Although Hu Zhixiong's influence was not big enough, it was not easy for him to do this.
As for his whereabouts, Lu Yiwei had been worried. As long as he asked Bai Zongfeng, he should not refuse. But he could not decide where to arrange it in such a short time.
"Hu Peng, don't be busy. Come and sit."
Hu Peng glanced back and smiled. "It's okay. I'll do it."
"Put it down first. I want to talk to you."
Hu Peng walked over with a puzzled expression. "Secretary Lu, what's up?"
Lu Yiwei handed him a cigarette. "Nothing, just a casual chat. You've been with me for almost three years, right?"
Hu Peng seemed to have guessed what he wanted to say and said, "Secretary-General Lu, you won't chase me away again, will you? I'm not going anywhere."
Lu Yiwei was very strict with him and never allowed him to accept gifts or money from others. On the other hand, other people's drivers often smoked good cigarettes and drank good wine. Although they weren't rich, at least they didn't have to worry about food and clothing. Without the gray income channel, Lu Yiwei thought of ways to compensate him in other ways. Apart from his monthly salary of 1200 yuan, he also received an additional 1000 yuan as a car allowance. He also asked Old Pan to give him 5000 yuan as a living allowance from Dezhi Company, which added up to more than his own salary. She didn't do this for any other reason than to make him feel at ease.
"I'm not chasing you away, but I'm thinking about your future. Tell me, which unit do you want to go to? "
Hu Peng stuttered, "I really don't want to leave you."
"Don't talk nonsense. I'm serious. If you don't tell me, I'll have to make my own arrangements. "
Seeing that he was serious, Hu Peng gathered his courage and said, "I still want to follow you."
Lu Yiwei said, "Follow me for the rest of your life? You have reached the age to get married. You can't stay by my side forever. If you want to develop, you have to look further ahead. I've decided to send you to Secretary Zhang's side. "
Hu Peng was so anxious that he was about to cry. He said in a hoarse voice, "Secretary Lu, if I don't do well, you can hit me or scold me. Just don't chase me away, okay?"
"Why can't I understand? I'm doing this for your own good. Since you've entered the political world, you should get on the right track as soon as possible. Otherwise, everything will be delayed in a few years. Secretary Zhang doesn't have a secretary by his side. You can follow him and settle your work first. You'll be able to move up in a few years. "
Seeing that Lu Yiwei had made up his mind, Hu Peng didn't argue and said, "But once I leave, who's going to drive you?"
"You don't have to worry about that. I have my own ways."
"Then when do you plan to let me go?"
"Today."
"Ah? That's too fast. I'm not prepared at all. "
"What are you preparing for? This morning, Secretary Zhang will come to the factory for an inspection. He'll bring you along."
Hu Peng was a little reluctant and begged, "Just let me stay. I really can't bear to."
Lu Yiwei was also reluctant to let Hu Peng go. He had long regarded Hu Peng as one of his own. But for Hu Peng's future, he had no choice but to chase him away. "I'm doing this for your own good. Follow Secretary Zhang and train well. You'll definitely achieve great things in the future."
Seeing that there was no turning back, Hu Peng said with tears in his eyes, "Then let me serve you for one more day."
Lu Yiwei was moved. He patted Hu Peng's shoulder and said, "In terms of seniority, you should call me uncle. But in terms of age, we're brothers. You've been following me for two to three years, and I haven't brought you much. When you leave this world, you must still maintain a humble heart. Be a good person and a good official. The world is fair and will not mistreat honest people. Do you understand?"
Hu Peng nodded sensibly. "Thank you. I'll keep that in mind."
Lu Yiwei stood up and said, "I'll talk to Old Pan later. You'll still be paid until you get married."
"Thank you …"
"Don't mention it. I should be the one thanking you. You're very good. There's no coward in Nanyang, right?"
Hu Peng smiled shyly and said, "Secretary Lu, can I recommend someone to you?"
"Sure. Tell me about it."
Hu Peng said embarrassedly, "My girlfriend's brother. He just returned from a job."
"Oh? He has a girlfriend? That's mysterious. "
"Hehe."
Hu Peng scratched his head in embarrassment. "She's a college classmate. We've been dating. She doesn't have a proper job and doesn't dare to tell my dad. "
"That's nothing. Do you like her?"
Hu Peng nodded heavily.
"As long as you like her. As for her job, it's simple. She's been with me for so many years. Let's have a meal together and talk about it. "
Hu Peng said excitedly, "Thank you, Secretary Lu."
"What's her brother's name?"
"Liu Ke, 21 years old. He was a soldier in Tibet. Now he's working as a security guard in a company."
Although Lu Yiwei had not seen him in person, he felt that he was a good person just from his resume. He had never been a soldier, but he had always had a military complex. Moreover, he had been a soldier in Tibet. He must have suffered a lot. His age was also suitable. He was in the prime of his youth. He said, "Then bring him here. I'll see him first."
"Okay. Is today okay?"
Seeing that he was so anxious, Lu Yiwei looked at his watch and said, "Okay. Let's go eat first. We'll talk after dinner."
"I've already eaten. I'll call him now." After that, he hurried out.
