Waiting, he was still waiting.
Lu Yiwei moved from the bed to the sofa, then from the sofa back to the bed. He moved back and forth a dozen times, thinking about this matter in his mind.
He had the same thought as Zhang Zhiyuan. Someone must have purposely leaked the news. There were some things that one could not think too deeply about, as it was extremely frightening to think carefully. Perhaps, this was a conspiracy through and through.
Purposely leaked the news to make everyone think that he was going to be promoted. This was the decision of the city. If Bai Zongfeng heard about this, he would definitely have some thoughts. What were they trying to do? Why were they so impatient to make the decision on their own? This was simply audacious.
There was also another possibility. Bai Zongfeng had indeed mentioned this matter to someone, and then the news spread out, causing a storm in the city. As for which possibility it was, perhaps only he knew.
Time passed, and it was 1: 30 in the afternoon. Bai Zongfeng was still not back. Lu Yiwei's stomach was growling, but he was not in the mood to eat. He kept staring at the door, waiting for the car to appear.
When it was almost 2, Bai Zongfeng's car finally appeared. Lu Yiwei's heart was pounding, as if he had done something bad and was found out. He could not calm down. He came to the office and drank some water to calm himself down. He listened to the sound outside the door.
Three minutes later, footsteps came from the corridor. Lu Yiwei placed his hand on the doorknob. He took a deep breath and opened the door. He saw Bai Zongfeng walking over with an expressionless face.
Bai Zongfeng did not speak and went straight into the office. Lu Yiwei followed behind him. After Secretary Yan Jie put down the things and left, Bai Zongfeng sat down and lit a cigarette. He took a few puffs and looked at him. "Have you eaten?"
Lu Yiwei did not expect to use this as an opening. He nodded. "Yes."
"Liar! Yan Jie, come in. "
After Yan Jie came in, Bai Zongfeng said. "Get the canteen to prepare some food. We will be there in a while."
"Okay."
Bai Zongfeng thought for a while before he flicked his cigarette and said, "I just went to the Provincial Party Committee. Secretary Zhang has given new instructions for the relocation of the enterprises. All the enterprises in Guwei District must be moved within a month."
"Oh, there are many enterprises in the Guwei District, so it's going to be the most difficult. I'm afraid it's going to take a month …"
"Yes, indeed."
Bai Zongfeng scratched his head and said, "I've been worried to death recently, but I still have to do the work, and I have to do it well. I need a reliable person to take charge of this work. Who do you think is suitable?"
Lu Yiwei seemed to have thought of something. After a while, he said, "I think it's better to let Mayor Liu lead this work."
Bai Zongfeng waved his hand and said, "Mayor Liu has too much work to do. He can't be distracted. Moreover, I'm not at ease. The government can't find anyone reliable. So, I plan to push the work to Guwei District. "
As he got closer and closer to the truth, Lu Yiwei's heart stirred again. Bai Zongfeng's words carried a certain bias. At this time, he chose to remain silent.
After a while, Bai Zongfeng leaned back in his chair and looked at him. "What do you think about going to Guwei District to take charge of the work?"
The rumor had finally become a reality. Although he was mentally prepared, he was still a little excited. He restrained his emotions and said humbly, "Secretary Bai, I'm afraid I'm not qualified for this job."
Bai Zongfeng raised his eyebrows. "What's the reason?"
Lu Yiwei said clearly, "First, I'm too young. If I go up, I'm afraid many people won't be convinced. Second, I'm not familiar with the work in Guwei District. Third, it's not a good thing to progress too fast. I still want to train for a few more years and think about it when the opportunity is ripe. "
Bai Zongfeng squinted his eyes and sat up. "These are not problems. I also have three reasons. First, you have a lot of experience at the grassroots level. You've also been the head of a county office and participated in the youth cadre class of the Provincial Party Committee. This is something others don't have. Second, your performance in the relocation of the enterprise is outstanding. The results are obvious to all, and you've been recognized by the leaders of the Provincial Party Committee. Third, there's nothing wrong with your character, ability, and style. As for the rest, it's not something you should consider. "
Lu Yiwei still wanted to argue, but Bai Zongfeng waved his hand. "I'm asking if you're willing."
If he continued to decline, it would be too fake. Lu Yiwei sat up straight and said seriously, "I'm willing."
"Good. That's good enough. You should be prepared. We'll hold a meeting two days later to settle this matter. "
Lu Yiwei was grateful. "Secretary Bai, thank you for your support. I will not let you down. I will complete the task given by the Municipal Party Committee."
Bai Zongfeng smiled. "You've been working for me for three years, and I should give you an explanation. I originally planned to reward you after the relocation. But the situation now is urgent. You must take over this place as soon as possible. "
"If I go, what about Hou Zecheng?" Lu Yiwei asked worriedly.
Bai Zongfeng's expression changed. "Don't worry about it. I have my own arrangements."
It was obvious that Bai Zongfeng hated him to the core. He had wanted to make a move on him for a long time, but he didn't because of his pride. He had thought that the relocation would give him a chance, but he was greatly disappointed. In the end, he was tempted.
"Keep this a secret for now. Don't tell anyone."
It seemed that he didn't know that the news had spread all over the city. Lu Yiwei seemed to have guessed the source of the news. It should be Bao Shuming. Bai Zongfeng must have mentioned this to him in advance. Otherwise, even he wouldn't know that the news had spread so far.
After accompanying Bai Zongfeng for lunch, he went to rest. As for Lu Yiwei, he didn't feel sleepy at all. He sat in front of his desk in a daze. It was unbelievable. It was like a dream. A dream had finally become a reality. This news was too unexpected and timely.
After the excitement, everything returned to calmness. Although he had the experience of governing a region, Guwei District was very different from other counties. As the location of the provincial capital, it involved the interests of various parties that were in a mess. It was very difficult to achieve a balance. In other words, most of the time, he didn't have the final say.
In addition, although Guwei District was under the jurisdiction of Jiangdong City, the appointment of the first and second leaders had to be approved by the relevant leaders of the Provincial Party Committee. If the higher-ups didn't agree, all the efforts would be in vain.
Bai Zongfeng's words meant that he had already coordinated with all parties. It shouldn't be a big problem. Fortunately, he didn't get implicated because of the car factory. Instead, it was a blessing in disguise that he was promoted. Since he was given so much courage, there was no reason for him not to do well.
