That night, Lu Yiwei had a good night's sleep. Maybe if he let go of some things and poured out his heart, his empty heart would be relieved. The next morning, he opened his eyes at 5: 45. He wanted to sleep in, but his mind was full of things, so he couldn't sleep until dawn like others. He got up and washed up immediately. At 6: 10, he called Li Haidong to return to Jiangdong.
The snow that had been falling for a whole day had finally stopped, but the cold northwest wind was still blowing. When the wind blew, it rolled up thousands of layers of snow. Like Satan, it roared like a devil and swam across the road to the dark ravine. The earth was still shrouded in darkness. Only a few vehicles were moving slowly on the frozen road. Even the powerful Hummer skidded from time to time, making dangerous moves. Fortunately, Li Haidong's driving skills were not bad, and he moved forward carefully.
Cold, it was extremely cold!
Even though the air conditioner was on in the car, they could still feel the cold. The front windshield was still frozen, and the wipers kept blowing. They could only look for the road ahead through blurred vision.
"Drive slowly. Safety first," said Lu Yiwei nervously.
Li Haidong let out a breath of hot air and cursed, "It's only the end of November, and it's already so cold. It must be minus 20 degrees Celsius. "
The weather this year was indeed abnormal. If it were two years ago, it would have been minus four or five degrees Celsius. In the eyes of ordinary people, the unpredictable weather could lead to all kinds of superstitions. But from a scientific point of view, global warming was the culprit.
After walking for nearly three hours, they finally arrived at Jiangdong. They had a bowl of hot mutton soup at a roadside food stall, and Lu Yiwei rushed to the Municipal People's Hospital. When they parted, he said to Li Haidong, "It's Xiao Yu's birthday next week. I'm too busy to leave. Your sister-in-law wants to celebrate Xiao Yu's birthday. You can discuss with her later."
Hearing this, Li Haidong said excitedly, "That's right. Xiao Yu will be 12 soon. Time really flies. You don't have to worry about this, I'll make sure it's a lively affair. "
Lu Yiwei said worriedly, "This matter is only limited to family members, don't expand the scope."
"Got it, but I want to ask which sister-in-law?"
Lu Yiwei was speechless. He squeezed out a smile and said, "Let's discuss it together."
"Alright, I understand."
After that, he drove away in a flash. After the last incident, Li Haidong was much more mature and steady than before. He was basically reliable when it came to getting things done. Under normal circumstances, when it came to family matters, Lu Yiwei would basically let him deal with them. But when it came to complicated matters that he couldn't deal with, Pan Chengjun would take care of everything. With the two of them around, he had less to worry about.
When he entered the office, Ning Yugang and Qu Wenzhou were smoking with haggard faces. When they saw him, they immediately stood up and said, "Secretary Lu, you're back."
Lu Yiwei pressed his hands down and sat down. "You didn't rest all night?"
Qu Wenzhou quickly said, "I took a nap for a while. District Chief Ning didn't sleep all night. I tried to persuade him, but he didn't listen and carried it all night. "
Ning Yugang played it down and said, "It doesn't matter. Work is more important."
Times make heroes. In times of peace, it depended on whether you could stand out in front of the big right and wrong. The car factory matter could not be said to be big, but it could not be said to be small. It depended on whether political acumen could seize the opportunity. On this matter, Hou Zecheng turned a deaf ear to it. Ning Yugang stood in front of him. Just based on this point, this person was worthy of being put in an important position.
Ning Yugang said again, "Secretary Lu, Zhao Guoqing's son, Zhao Weilai, arrived in Jiangdong at around 11 o 'clock last night. I sent a special car to take him directly to the hospital. Considering the pain of losing his father, we waited until after 3 o 'clock in the morning to talk to him. His opinion is not to compensate. There is only one condition, which is to hold a memorial service for his father. "
"Regarding this matter, Manager Qu and I have made a preliminary plan. The car factory will host the memorial service, and the district union will cooperate and coordinate. It is not convenient for the Guwei district government to come forward. Secretary Hou called this morning. According to Secretary Bai's instructions, he basically has the same idea as us. What do you think we should do? "
Lu Yiwei nodded and said, "Yes, that's what I think too. It's better to let the car factory handle it. What does Zhao Weilai mean? "
"His opinion is to upgrade. I hope the city government will step forward and add him as a martyr."
Hearing this, Lu Yiwei realized that this problem was a bit tricky. As long as it could be solved with money, it was not a problem. He was afraid of requests other than money. What Zhao Weilai cared about was not money, but reputation. This was difficult.
A small former union president, and an unnatural death, did not reach the level of a memorial service held by the city government. Moreover, adding a martyr was not a joke. It required the approval of the provincial government, which was far beyond his ability. Moreover, he did not have the qualifications to be a martyr, nor did he contribute much to the country. If he really did this, he was afraid that he would become this year's joke of the year.
Lu Yiwei thought for a moment and said, "Where is Zhao Weilai?"
"In the room upstairs."
"Oh, continue talking to him. I'll meet him later. It's impossible for me to be a martyr. I don't have that authority. Even if Secretary Bai comes back, he won't be able to do it. The memorial service can only go to the district level, and the government will only appear symbolically and not participate. As for the city level, when the time comes, I can represent Secretary Bai to pay my respects. We can't drag it out for too long. If possible, it will be held tomorrow. "
"Okay, I'll do some more ideological work for him."
Lu Yiwei turned to Qu Wenzhou and said, "How are the others?"
"They've all gone back. The corpses have been dragged to the crematorium. They can be completely resolved in one or two days."
"En, this matter should not be dragged on for too long. The sooner the better."
"Understood."
After more than an hour, seeing that they still hadn't moved, Lu Yiwei couldn't sit still anymore. He got up and went to the second floor, pushing open the door.
Originally, he thought that Zhao Weilai was a gentle scholar wearing glasses. At the very least, he was a university professor. He didn't expect him to be tall and handsome, and his clothes were also very fashionable.
When Ning Yugang saw him, he immediately stood up and said, "Professor Zhao, this is Secretary-General Lu of the Municipal Party Committee."
Zhao Weilai's eyes were red and swollen. He threw away the cigarette butt in his hand and stood up with a haggard face. He took the initiative to extend his hand and said, "You are Lu Yiwei?"
"Nice to meet you. Please sit down."
After the two of them sat down, Lu Yiwei gave Ning Yugang a look and said, "Professor Zhao, you guys chat first. I'll go down and see your mother."
