At 17: 26, at the entrance of the Jiangnan Expressway.
The electronic screen at the intersection ahead said, "Due to the rain and snow, the Jiangnan Expressway is temporarily closed …"
Sitting in the car, Lu Yiwei looked at the darkening night through the window. He looked at his watch and asked, "Can we take the national highway?"
Since Hu Peng was not there, Ning Yugang's driver drove him to Beizhou City. He turned around and said, "Secretary Lu, we can take the provincial highway, but the snow is too heavy. We might not be able to go fast. The usual two-hour journey will take more than four hours. Moreover, this car is not very good …"
Lu Yiwei did not respond. After thinking for a long time, he picked up his phone and dialed Li Haidong's number. "Drive your Hummer to Xiaodian Town on the 608 National Highway and accompany me to Beizhou City."
He hung up and asked the driver to drive slowly to the designated location. After waiting for about 20 minutes, Li Haidong appeared in a domineering and tough Hummer. Lu Yiwei got in the car and urged the driver to hurry.
The million-yuan Hummer was not very comfortable, but it was very adaptable to various road conditions. It sped along the white snow road like usual.
Li Haidong knew that he was in a hurry and did not disturb him. Instead, he focused on driving. Lu Yiwei sat in the back, holding his phone and thinking carefully about how to operate it.
Ever since Su Meng passed away, he would visit Kang Shizhi in person every New Year. He rarely contacted Su Qiming. At most, he would send a text message during the festival, but he rarely called. It was not because of Su Meng. He was now the mayor of Beizhou City. His status was different, so naturally, he had less contact. He could go directly to Old Master Kang, but it did not seem appropriate to skip Su Qiming.
After thinking about it, he dialed Su Qiming's number.
At this moment, Su Qiming was meeting with the boss of a well-known company to check on the implementation of the project. He had always been keen on attracting investment. Since he took office, he had put forward the slogan of "landing a hundred projects and attracting hundreds of billions of funds". He also cooperated well with Xu Shousong, the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. The Municipal Party Committee was unprecedentedly united and wanted to catch up with the development.
His daughter's death was a huge blow to him. He had lost his spiritual support, which further stimulated his fighting spirit to work. Work had almost become his only pleasure. Only in this way could he temporarily forget the pain that he did not want to recall.
The secretary was holding Su Qiming's phone. When she felt the vibration, she quietly took it out and looked at it, then immediately hung up.
Lu Yiwei waited for five or six minutes before he called again, unwilling to give up. The secretary had no choice but to crouch down to avoid the camera and answer the call backstage.
As Su Qiming's secretary, Zhou Hao was clear about the relationship between Lu Yiwei and Su Qiming. He said politely, "Secretary General Lu, Mayor Su is talking to a guest. If you have anything to say, I'll pass it on for you."
"Oh, forget it then."
Zhou Hao paused for a moment and said, "How about I let you know after the meeting?"
"No, thank you."
After hanging up, Lu Yiwei decided to bypass Su Qiming and look for Kang Shizhi directly. After dealing with this matter, he immediately called University Professor Cai Runnian.
Cai Runnian was very familiar with the name Zhao Weilai. He said, "I haven't taught this student before, but I know him. He's an outstanding person from our school. He's now a professor at Capital Normal University."
"Yes, yes, yes, it's him."
After Cai Runnian learned of the situation, he sighed and said, "I can ask around for you. He seems to be Professor Qin's student. But this kind of thing, after all, is a matter of life and death. I can't guarantee that it will work. "
Lu Yiwei hurriedly said, "Professor Cai, I don't ask for anything else. We'll be absolutely honest about how to solve it. As long as he puts forward conditions, we'll do our best to meet them. But you also know that the longer it drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for us. If it affects Secretary Bai and Secretary Zhang, it'll be hard to explain. "
Cai Runnian roughly understood and said, "Okay, I'll think of a way."
"Okay, then I'll wait for your news."
After everything was settled, Lu Yiwei decided to personally call Zhao Guoqing's son, Zhao Weilai. But after thinking for a long time, he didn't know how to face it. He would wait for Cai Runnian and Kang Shizhi to take action first.
The sky was completely dark. It wasn't the kind of suffocating darkness, but the quiet and clear white like the final radiance of the setting sun. The light shone on the snow, reflecting a crystal clear halo, like a brush drawing a circle in the air. Perhaps in the eyes of young people, the romance contained in the snow was enough to make one's heart tremble, but what was left for Lu Yiwei was endless longing and regret.
There was no medicine for regret in this world. If there was, he would abandon the secular world and desperately pursue happiness.
Su Meng, are you doing well in heaven?
The snow was still falling, and the cars on the road crawled slowly like a snail. Lu Yiwei leaned against the cold window and looked out through the condensed water droplets. Li Haidong secretly glanced, took out a cigarette and pushed it to him. He came back to his senses and lit it, leaning back in the chair and sighing.
"Are you thinking about Su Meng again?"
Lu Yiwei lowered his head and smiled bitterly. He blew out a smoke ring and looked up at him. "I thought you were going to talk about Xia Jinhe."
Li Haidong immediately said, "Don't mention her. I get angry when you mention her. You were so good to her, but in the end, you left quietly. How could you do that? Now, she's gone to the United States to live with that gigolo. "
"Don't say that about her. She had no choice." Lu Yiwei defended, "There was a reason why she left me. She knew that her brother had congenital heart disease. She suspected that she also had it, so she chose to leave. She did it for my own good. If one day she really left first, it would be painful for everyone. It was better to end it earlier. "
"She helped me a lot. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have been able to continue my business in Heishan County, and Hongda Group wouldn't have settled in Xijiang Province. "
Li Haidong was silent for a moment and said, "Do you still miss her?"
Lu Yiwei smiled faintly and looked out of the window. "How should I put it? I miss her too, but not as much as Su Meng. After all, I and Su Meng have been together for five or six years, and it was when I was at my lowest. If it were anyone else, who would want to go to the ravine to find me? Even Xia Jinhe, I don't think she would be able to take this step. "
Li Haidong seemed to understand. "Brother, I know you feel bad, but it's been so many years. Don't blame yourself. I believe that Su Meng will forgive you in heaven. What's more, sister-in-law is so good to you now, and she gave birth to a son for you. You can't let her down. "
Lu Yiwei looked at him in surprise. After a long time, he said, "Why don't I believe it when it comes from your mouth?"
Li Haidong smiled and said, "After experiencing a lot of people and things, I can see through some things. What's more, people are constantly maturing, aren't they? "
Lu Yiwei looked at him for a long time and said, "Not bad. It's good that you have this awareness. Do you know why I asked you to leave Niu Fuyong? "
