"Minister Wang, Secretary Li of the Southern Street District is in a hurry to meet Secretary Shao, what do you think …" The man looked at Wang Kaifeng with a dark expression.
"Make the arrangements." Wang Kaifeng's face darkened.
The man scratched his head and said, "Why don't I go and report to him first? Please wait for a moment."
After the man left, a smile appeared on Wang Kaifeng's face as he said, "Yiwei, Secretary Bai has mentioned you to me more than once. We even had a meal together two days ago. He boasted shamelessly about how outstanding you are. A young and capable leader like you should be trained in a suitable position. Do a good job and you will have a bright future. "
Lu Yiwei accepted Wang Kaifeng's offer and said humbly, "Thank you, Minister Wang. I'm new here and I still need your guidance."
"Of course, we should learn from each other."
At this moment, the man came in. He said to Lu Yiwei with a solemn expression, "Secretary Shao wants you to go in now."
Lu Yiwei didn't expect things to go so smoothly. He nodded at Wang Kaifeng and tidied his clothes before following the man into the office.
It was common for Lu Yiwei to go in and out of the Municipal Party Committee Secretary's office, so he didn't want to be cautious like others. Shao Zhongjie's office was no different from Bai Zongfeng's office, but it was more luxurious. Just the red carpet under his feet was expensive. It was soft and comfortable with a glossy luster. It wasn't something that a small workshop could make. It should be an authentic Persian carpet.
Entering the door, Shao Zhongjie was bending over the wide yellow pear wood desk, concentrating on writing. The man carefully walked to his side and whispered, "Secretary Shao, Lu Yiwei is here."
Shao Zhongjie didn't say anything and continued to work. He quickly drew a few lines on the paper, then raised his head and said angrily, "Who drafted this document?"
The man's heart tightened. He looked at it and said, "The Agriculture Committee gave it to me."
Shao Zhongjie picked up the document and it fell to the ground like snowflakes. He slammed the pen on the table and said angrily, "Go back and write it again. What bullshit is this!"
The man did not dare to make a sound. He picked up the documents and left timidly.
After the man left, Shao Zhongjie sized him up and said, "You're Lu Yiwei?"
Lu Yiwei took a step forward and nodded slightly. "Hello, Secretary Shao."
"Oh."
Shao Zhongjie leaned back and put his hands on the armrests. His face was solemn. His triangular eyes behind the lenses were twinkling, and his eyebrows were like a brush without ink. Moreover, his cheekbones were prominent, his nose was not high, and his slightly purplish lips seemed a little thin. He was also not as burly as the others. His skinny cheeks were sunken, and his skin was dark. He did not look like a department leader at all.
It was true that one's heart was born from one's appearance. A truly experienced person would be able to see through a person with just a glance. Although Lu Yiwei couldn't reach that level, he had learned a lot over the years. Shao Zhongjie's face was dull and even a little mean. His eyes released unfriendly signals, and the color of his lips indicated that his liver function was not good. He was easily agitated, which belonged to the category of treacherous officials in ancient physiognomy.
Lu Yiwei had never met him, but he knew a thing or two about his resume. It could be said that this person had climbed up step by step. He had participated in the work of the township statistician, deputy mayor, deputy party secretary, mayor, party secretary, director of the Urban Construction Bureau, deputy county head, publicity chief, county head, and finally deputy mayor. It could be said that no one's resume was as rich as his.
According to the current system of officialdom, it was almost impossible to go from a township statistician to the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, but Shao Zhongjie had done it. On one hand, it was inseparable from his hard work. On the other hand, he needed someone to guide him. The two were inseparable. People with grassroots work experience as leaders of the Municipal Party Committee were often more domineering and even a little self-opinionated. This was because others might not know more than him, and he had experienced everything. Over time, it was easy for his words to be the law.
Two days ago, Bai Zongfeng gave him a call to invite him out for a meal. Bai Zongfeng wanted to ask Lu Yiwei to come along so that they could take care of each other in the future. In the end, Bai Zongfeng did not give him any face and made excuses. This showed that he did not take Bai Zongfeng seriously at all.
Shao Zhongjie sat up and asked, "Do you know about the previous secretary of Long 'an County?"
Lu Yiwei did not expect to use this as an opening. He thought for a while and said, "I know a thing or two."
"It's good that you know."
Shao Zhongjie picked up the cigarette on the table and lit it up. "I know about your situation. You have grassroots work experience and a certain level of ability. Since the Provincial Party Committee has sent you here, you must do a good job. Also, it's best to forget everything in the past and start afresh. Understand? "
Lu Yiwei was trying to figure out Dong Xuebing's intention. He nodded and said, "Please rest assured, Secretary Shao. I will obey the Municipal Party Committee's leadership and do a good job based on the overall situation."
Shao Zhongjie did not continue and said, "After you arrive in Long 'an, do two things first. The first is to maintain stability. We cannot break the drum just because there is a problem with the previous leader. This evil trend must be stopped. Do not cover up, do not avoid, and do not indulge. The second thing is to settle the conflict between Longjiang Coal Company and Xin Sheng Coal Mine within three days. If there is another group incident, I will not let it go easily! "
Dong Xuebing had not officially taken office, but he had already assigned tasks. Lu Yiwei knew a little about the recent events in Long 'an County, but he did not know much about it. "I know what to do."
Shao Zhongjie did not like Lu Yiwei, but he did not show it. He picked up the phone on his desk and made a call. He got up and said, "I still have a meeting. Report to the Organization Department."
After a few steps, Shao Zhongjie stopped and turned back. He said with a serious face, "Lu Yiwei, I know you have deep connections, but you must be good at using them. I like people who are obedient. I hope you will not cause me trouble. As I said, forget your identity and forget everything in the past. Understand? "
He looked at him for a few seconds and turned to leave.
Lu Yiwei stood in the same place, confused by his unfriendly attitude. Maybe he did not belong here and was transferred from Jiangdong to Nanzhou City. On the way here, he had thought about it over and over again, and it seemed that he could figure it out. In any case, he would take things as they came. No matter where he was transferred to, he could still make a career.
Coming out of the office, Lu Yiwei went straight to the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee downstairs. The person who received him was a deputy minister, who was polite and said, "Minister Gong is in the provincial capital for a meeting. He just called me and said that he will send you down this afternoon. I have contacted the General Office of the Municipal Party Committee and have arranged for someone to inform the Long 'an County party committee to hold a county-wide meeting. Do you have any requirements? "
Lu Yiwei shook his head.
