Lu Yiwei's brilliant reply in such a short period of time could be said to be a model of diplomatic rhetoric in the officialdom. It was watertight and comprehensive. Not only did Bai Zongfeng clear his name, but he also avoided the higher-ups and explained the situation. Bai Zongfeng was quite satisfied and said lightly, "Since it's not you who organized it and it's your family and friends who organized it, then there's no problem."
He turned to Lv Fengrong and said, "We should investigate the issues raised by the public and give a reply to the relevant departments. However, some unnecessary problems must be strictly stopped. Alright, just reply truthfully. We need Yiwei's cooperation in the investigation, but don't blow the matter up. "
Lv Fengrong was a smart person, and she could tell that Bai Zongfeng was trying to protect his son. "I know what to do." Bai Zongfeng kept the letter and kept it.
Bai Zongfeng didn't say anything else. After he left, he got up and said with a serious face, "Come with me."
When the two of them came to the resting room, Bai Zongfeng passed a cigarette to Lu Yiwei. "Don't mind it too much. This is normal, and it would be abnormal if no one reacted. It's not scary if something happens, but it's a mess. You don't have to bother about this matter; let Old Lu handle it. Furthermore, you don't have to investigate who wrote the letter. I believe you know what to do. "
Lu Yiwei felt ashamed. "Secretary Bai, it's all my fault. I've been cautious, and I never expected to shoot myself in the foot. I even caused you so much trouble. I will take full responsibility."
Bai Zongfeng casually waved his hand. "I don't blame you. It's human nature. Who doesn't have weddings and funerals? You just have to handle it well. I had a meeting that day, or I would have gone. "
Bai Zongfeng's tone had avoided this matter, which made Lu Yiwei blame himself. In that instant, the two of them fell into an awkward silence.
Bai Zongfeng pondered as he smoked his cigarette and looked at Yiwei's expression from the corner of his eyes. After a long time, he said, "Yiwei, when you were in the hi-tech zone, you did two major things. One was to promote the hi-tech zone to a national hi-tech zone, and the other was to attract investors to bring in Hongda Group and Shanteng Motors. Even now, many people still talk about it. It was also because of these two things that I changed my mind and kept you in the city government despite the huge pressure. Do you know what the province thought of you? "
Lu Yiwei shook his head.
Bai Zongfeng sighed and said, "After so many years, I don't want to bring this up again, but there are some things you must understand. When you were in the high-tech zone, you touched the interests of many people, so much so that the Provincial Party Committee Secretary Zhang put a death label on you. He once said that you have courage, but you lack awareness of the bigger picture. Do you know why? A secretary of the Municipal Party Committee of the provincial capital committed suicide by jumping off a building. This was a disgrace to Xijiang Province and a disgrace to the political ecology of Xijiang. Of course, Lin Haifeng's death had nothing to do with you, but it was inevitable that he would vent his anger on you. "
Lu Yiwei's heart palpitated with fear and trepidation as he listened. He didn't understand what Bai Zongfeng meant by saying all this, but he was getting closer and closer to the truth. His promotion of Gu Wei as the district secretary had met with resistance.
Bai Zongfeng continued, "This morning, the Provincial Party Committee Secretary Zhang called me to his office and specifically talked about the matter of Gu Wei as the district secretary. He didn't explicitly say it, but he indirectly mentioned some people and things. So, you must be mentally prepared. "
As expected.
Lu Yiwei smiled faintly, pretending to be relaxed and said, "It's fine, I originally didn't have the qualifications. It was you who thought highly of me …"
Bai Zongfeng waved his hand and interrupted, "Don't say these useless things, I don't like it. Let's get straight to the point. You have already entered the legal process, and today's announcement period is over. But suddenly announcing that you haven't been promoted is bound to cause some criticism. Not only will it damage the credibility of the Municipal Party Committee, but it may also shake the good momentum of the enterprise relocation. Secretary Zhang and I have actively fought for you, but things didn't go according to our wishes. Considering the overall situation, you can't stay in the Municipal Party Committee any longer. "
Lu Yiwei was stunned, saying, "So you're saying that you want to completely kick me out?"
"Don't be agitated, let me finish!"
Bai Zongfeng frowned and continued, "This morning, I came out of Secretary Zhang's office and specially went to the Organization Department to see Minister Zhao. He knows you and is concerned about your matters. After some discussion, the current Nanzhou City Long 'an County is still vacant for the County Party Committee Secretary position. If you are willing, Minister Zhao and I will go see Secretary Zhang in a while after work. If nothing unexpected happens, it shouldn't be a big problem. "
Lu Yiwei was confused, his entire person was stunned, completely unable to react to what had just happened. He stammered, "So you're saying, I have to leave you?"
Bai Zongfeng said with a heavy heart, "I also can't bear to leave you. I was planning to entrust you with the important task of the enterprise relocation, but things are unpredictable. Things happened suddenly, and I didn't have the time to take measures. I don't know what's going on, but one thing is clear, we have to take remedial measures in the shortest time possible. We can't delay your future. "
Lu Yiwei calmed himself down and said, "Can you let me think about it?"
"You can't wait, it's too late. You have to give me an answer now."
Bai Zongfeng looked at his watch and said, "It's 1: 45 now, and Secretary Zhang usually arrives at the unit at 2: 20. This is already the last resort, and I even dragged Minister Zhao down with me. I'm also actively fighting for you, I hope you can understand. "
Lu Yiwei was completely dumbfounded, staring at Bai Zongfeng in a daze.
Seeing this, Bai Zongfeng looked at his watch again and said, "How about this, I'll give you ten minutes to think about it. But I suggest you go. Although it's a little remote, you're still the Secretary of the County Party Committee. You can think about it after you've settled down, and it might not take long for you to be transferred back. If you don't go, it will be a fatal blow to your political career, and you might not have a chance to make a comeback in this lifetime. Alright, you can go first. "
Lu Yiwei didn't know how he got back to his office, and he sat in front of his desk in a daze, trying to figure out what went wrong. But his mind was in a mess, and he didn't have the time to think about it. In just a day, he had gone through fire and ice, and this morning, he was still looking forward to tomorrow, packing his luggage and preparing to go to work. But how long had it been, the plot suddenly changed, and he was sent to a place that he had never heard of before.
His phone kept vibrating on the desk, but Lu Yiwei didn't notice it at all, and he just sat there for ten minutes. When it was almost 2 pm, Bai Zongfeng pushed the door open and said anxiously, "Have you thought about it?"
Lu Yiwei stood up in a daze and nodded.
