Lu Yiwei let out a long sigh and said, "Fuyong has really changed. I feel like Xijiang Province can't contain him anymore. "He's playing with the young master in Beijing by setting up a steel factory. "The country is trying to save energy and eliminate polluting enterprises, but he's going against the current. I really doubt his intentions.
"Besides, Fuyong is playing bigger and bigger now. He's getting involved with the provincial leaders and senior officials in Beijing. He doesn't listen to me at all. "Now that I think about it, it's impossible to go back to the past. "Haidong, what do you mean by retreat? I have my reasons for asking you to leave now."
Li Haidong said, "Brother, don't say anymore. I know. I'll listen to you. "Besides, I don't want to stay in the coal mine anymore. I'm always on edge. Who knows if I'll die one day. "I met Old Pan yesterday. He asked me to learn from him for a while and be in charge of the project in the future."
Lu Yiwei nodded and said, "That's right. Old Pan is honest and absolutely reliable. Over the years, Dezhi Company has established a firm foothold in the real estate industry under his management. I have to say that he's a genius in business. "Learn from him. If you can learn half of what he's capable of, you can be independent in the future."
"Okay, don't worry."
"I'll be busy during this period. After a few days, I'll meet Mei Jia in Beijing with you."
"There's no rush. We'll talk about it later."
As he spoke, his phone rang. It was Su Qiming. Lu Yiwei immediately adjusted his sitting posture and picked up the call.
"Hello, Yiwei. I was in a meeting just now. What's up?"
Lu Yiwei did not expect him to call in person. He said respectfully, "Nothing much. I'll be in Beizhou tonight. I want to visit you and Old Master Kang."
Su Qiming said with relief, "Thank you. I have a social engagement tonight. Where are you staying? I'll visit you then."
"I might have to rush back overnight."
Su Qiming knew about the car factory, but he did not say much over the phone. "It's snowing so heavily. Why are you in such a hurry to go back? I will arrange a place to stay. Little Zhou will contact you when the time comes."
Su Qiming's special care warmed his heart. He didn't stand on ceremony and said, "Alright, you go ahead. We'll talk when we meet."
After a while, Su Qiming's secretary, Zhou Hao, called to inform him that they had been arranged to stay at the Dongwen International Hotel.
Back then, when he was still a nobody, he felt it was a great honor to meet the secretary of the County party committee. Today, the mayor personally received him. He didn't even dare to think about it. As the saying goes, bring honor to one's ancestors. Although he could not reach the pinnacle of status, at least he had won a trace of dignity for his humble and poor family in his hometown. In Nan Yang County, as long as the name Lu Yiwei was mentioned, everyone knew that he was a high-ranking official. As for what officials were, the commoners did not understand. In any case, they grew up in a county.
To take the national highway to Bei Zhou City, one had to pass by Nanyang County. In the blink of an eye, he saw the big sign "The people of Nan Yang County welcome you" and set foot on the familiar hometown. Lu Yiwei was filled with emotion.
When he arrived at the outer ring road of the county, the whole county was covered with snow. The colorful lights made it quiet and peaceful. He could vaguely see the outline of high-rise buildings. His hometown had indeed undergone earth-shaking changes.
"Brother, you're home. Don't you want to go home to see our parents?"
Lu Yiwei only returned home a few times a year. At this moment, he couldn't help but feel nostalgic. How he wanted to sit on the hot kang at home, drinking his father's tea and eating his mother's dumplings. The whole family could chat happily all night. But life had deviated from the original development track, and he could never go back. He had a complicated smile on his face and shook his head, "I'm not going back. Maybe another day."
Li Haidong knew that he was busy and said, "I came back to see my parents some time ago. They are still healthy. Dad goes to the park every day to practice Tai Chi. Mom spends all day cleaning the small courtyard. I don't know what she is busy with. She said she misses Lang Lang. "
"Oh, Lang Lang misses them too."
"Why don't we just move them to the provincial capital? It's good to be together as a family."
"I want to, but they don't want to. They feel that they are not used to living in a unit, and there is no one to talk to. Don't worry about it. Let them be. As long as they are happy, that is more important than anything. "
"Alright, if you don't have time, I will come back to see them often."
20: 49, Bei Zhou City.
When he entered the city, Lu Yiwei was so hungry that cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Only then did he remember that he had not eaten for a day. He had not eaten in the morning when that incident happened. He did not even have time to eat at noon. He hurriedly asked Li Haidong to find a snack bar to fill his stomach. He bought a lot of things and arrived at Kang Shi's home.
After getting out of the car, Lu Yiwei asked Li Haidong to drive the car to the side and wait for him. He stood at the door and watched for a while, then straightened his back and carried the things in.
It was Su Meng's mother, Kang Guiyun, who opened the door. When she saw Lu Yiwei, she was stunned for a long time. She stammered, "Yiwei, why are you here?"
Lu Yiwei smiled and bowed. "Hello, Auntie. I happened to be on a business trip in Bei Zhou, so I dropped by on the way. Is Old Master here?"
"Oh, he is already asleep."
Seeing that she had no intention of letting him in, Lu Yiwei said reluctantly, "Then I will go in and put the things down."
Kang Guiyun thought for a moment and made way for him.
Lu Yiwei entered the door and changed his shoes. He came to the empty living room, where a family portrait was hung in an eye-catching position. Su Meng was impressively in it. She was smiling so brightly, and her eyes were like crescent moons. She kept staring at him.
Lu Yiwei stood there motionlessly. Kang Guiyun saw this and did not disturb him. After a long time, she said, "If there is nothing else, you can go back first. I need to rest too."
Lu Yiwei came back to his senses and turned to look at her. He smiled with a complicated expression. "Auntie, how have you been recently?"
Kang Guiyun frowned. She did not even dare to look at Lu Yiwei's eyes. She said coldly, "I don't need you to care about me. Go."
Su Meng's death was not directly related to him, but her family always believed that it was related. If Su Meng had not fallen in love with him, she would not have ended up like this. The reason was a bit unreasonable, but Lu Yiwei never defended himself. Su Meng was dead, so there was no point in arguing about it. On the other hand, Old Master Kang was open-minded. He had always been warm to him and even treated him as a family.
Kang Guiyun suddenly aged a lot. Her hair was white, and she was untidy. Standing next to Su Qiming, who was high-spirited, they did not match at all. It was hard to imagine that they were a couple. They looked more like a master and a nanny. Their marriage was a prerequisite. If the Kang family had not been powerful, Su Qiming would not have liked her, who was not beautiful and had a disability. On the other hand, if Su Qiming did not have this relationship, he would not have been able to rise to the position he had today.
There were gains and losses. This was life.
