Although he lived in such a luxurious villa, Lu Yiwei did not sleep well that night. He tossed and turned uncomfortably, as if he had a guilty conscience. Every time he thought about how the villa was built with taxpayers' money, he felt extremely uncomfortable.
In addition, he had been thinking about how to start his work. After all, he was given the position of secretary of the County party committee, not to enjoy life, but to carry a heavy burden and endless worries. Before he came, he had a general idea in his mind, and with Zhang Zhiyuan's advice, he decided to start with ideology.
Although he had experience in presiding over the County party committee, there were many things he was not clear about. To be honest, he had made big strides over the years, and he had only skimmed over every position. The longest time he had worked in the Jiangdong Municipal Party Committee was still a secretary. In fact, Shao Zhongjie was right. He should forget about himself and start all over again.
He woke up before six in the morning. After washing up, he planned to go out for some exercise.
The sky was dimly lit, and the opposite mountain was already showing the white of the fish belly. The sunlight was fanned out, reflecting colorful rays. Although it was winter, the mountain he was on was still lush green. The pine trees all over the mountain made people forget that it was midwinter. He used to live in the countryside and yearned for city life every day. But when he became a city person, he desperately missed the idyllic life in the countryside. He took a deep breath, and the fragrance of the soil was extremely refreshing. Perhaps, this was the real life.
Lu Yiwei climbed up the mountain, and Nan Chao was behind him. The two of them continued to climb until they reached the top of the mountain.
Standing at the top of the mountain, the sun had completely risen, and it was another sunny day. The orange-red sunlight spread in every corner like a soft quilt, and reflected on his face. Accompanied by the slight northwest wind, Lu Yiwei did not feel cold, but his whole body was hot. Especially when he looked down at the entire Long 'an City, he was overwhelmed with emotions.
People often said that humans were insignificant, but standing on the back of nature, which was hundreds of times larger than oneself, one could understand the meaning of this sentence.
Long'an County was built along the river valley in an irregular pattern. Because there was a mountain in the middle, it was arranged in a "Y" shape. Moreover, the valley was narrow and there was not much usable land, so they could only develop towards the mountains. There were densely packed buildings halfway up the mountain, and the trapezoidal shape constantly took up space on the mountain, forming a unique local feature. However, with the development of cities and population expansion, the county would not be able to accommodate them.
"Are you from Long'an?"
Nan Chao replied politely, "Secretary Lu, my home is in Long'an County."
"Oh, where is it?"
Nan Chao pointed at the opposite mountain and said, "It's over there."
"Oh, are those new houses over there?"
"Yes, my father renovated it last year."
"How many siblings do you have?"
"Two, and a younger sister who is studying in another university."
Lu Yiwei nodded and asked, "What's the population of the county?"
Nan Chao scratched his head and said, "I'm not too sure either, but I heard from others that there are about 200,000 people."
"Quite a lot, more than the population of our county. But to accommodate so many people in such a small place, the quality of life isn't too high, right? "
"Indeed. The roads in the county are narrow, and there are serious traffic jams during rush hours, sometimes for three to four hours. It can't be helped, there are too many people and cars. "
"Oh, yes, we have to think of a solution."
After staying on the mountain for a while, the two of them went down together and met Jiang Zhentao, who was panting. He said breathlessly, "Secretary Lu, you're up early?"
"Yes, I couldn't sleep."
When they returned to the residence, breakfast was already prepared, and it was quite sumptuous. There was soy milk, milk, fried dough sticks, buns, and fruits. Lu Yiwei sat down and saw that they were all standing, then pointed and said, "Sit down and eat together."
Nan Chao did not dare to approach, and Jiang Zhentao and another man sat down timidly. He introduced, "Secretary Lu, this is Ma Xiaochen, the Director of the Government Affairs Administration. From now on, all of your logistics work will be handled by her."
Lu Yiwei glanced at him, then picked up a bun and ate it. After a while, he said, "Give me a room in the County party committee family building, and I'll move in tonight."
Jiang Zhentao immediately tensed up, and asked cautiously, "Secretary Lu, is it uncomfortable to live here?"
Lu Yiwei wanted to say something, but on second thought, he felt that it was inappropriate. He said calmly, "It's too empty here, I don't like it, it's better to stay in the unit building."
Jiang Zhentao and Ma Xiaochen looked at each other, unable to make up their minds, unable to figure out this new County party committee secretary.
After eating, they took a car to the County party committee building. Jiang Zhentao followed closely behind, and brought him to the office, saying, "Secretary Lu, this is your office, please see if there's anything inappropriate, I'll fix it as soon as possible."
The layout of the office was the same as other leaders', with a waiting room outside and a lounge inside. But compared to Bai Zongfeng's office, it was many times more luxurious. A three-meter large desk, surrounded by a leather sofa, and a row of bookcases behind it. On the opposite wall, a magnificent oil painting of the Great Wall of Badaling was hung, and a sequoia tree was placed in the middle of the floor. It was hard to imagine how a poor county with just over 100 million RMB could do this.
Lu Yiwei sat in front of the office. Nan Chao placed a cup of tea in front of him and left. Jiang Zhentao sat opposite him in a slightly restrained manner and said with a smile, "Are you satisfied?"
Lu Yiwei picked up the Chunghwa cigarette on the table, lit it, and looked at him. "When was this building built?"
"Oh, last October."
"How much did you spend?"
"Including the supporting works, about 20 million RMB."
Lu Yiwei could not help but sneer, "You guys are really willing to spend money, where did the money come from?"
Jiang Zhentao rolled his eyes and said, "The county finance department paid a small portion, and the rest was donated by companies."
"Which company?"
"This …" Jiang Zhentao thought quickly, he cannot betray the County Head, Liu Zhankui, and carefully said, "Xin Sheng Coal Mine paid 10 million, and other companies also contributed a little."
Mentioning Xin Sheng Coal Mine, Lu Yiwei remembered what Shao Zhongjie told him yesterday. "What's the matter with Xin Sheng Coal Mine and Longjiang Coal Mine?"
