"Sure, I will arrange it well."
Jiang Zhentao couldn't figure out what Lu Yiwei was trying to do, but this was the first time he invited an old leader to dinner.
As they were talking, Liu Zhankui entered the room. Lu Yiwei stood up out of respect and greeted, "Mayor Liu, you're here."
Liu Zhankui was satisfied with Lu Yiwei's attitude and smiled, "How was your rest last night?"
"Not bad, Long 'an is a good place. The mountains are verdant, the water is clear, the people are outstanding, the air is fresh, and the environment is pleasant. It makes people not want to leave after coming here."
Lu Yiwei said it casually, but Liu Zhankui took it to heart. With a smile that was not a smile, he said, "If you're talking about living here, it's indeed a good place. It's not cold in winter and not hot in summer. This is related to the topography of Long 'an. If you're talking about career, don't think about it. It's better to leave early while you're still young. "
Hearing this, Lu Yiwei was stunned for a moment, then he laughed and said, "Magistrate Liu is right. Whether I can leave or not depends on you."
"Haha … let's sit down and talk."
Jiang Zhentao poured some water and left quietly. Lu Yiwei and Liu Zhankui sat opposite each other and said in a casual tone, "I've heard of County Head Liu's deeds before coming here. You've worked your way up step by step from the grassroots. You have rich work experience, a good foundation for the masses, and you're swift and decisive in your work. It's my honor to be able to work with you. "
Liu Zhankui had already experienced him last night. He was eloquent, quick-witted, and had a clear mind. Moreover, he was steady, well-mannered, and experienced. There was nothing about him that matched his age. He flicked his cigarette and said, "Secretary Lu, you're overpraising me. I've only been working longer than you. There's nothing to brag about. I started working at the age of 16, and I'm 51 this year. I've been working for 35 years, the same as you. At your age, I'm already the Secretary of the Township Party Committee, the youngest in the city. But compared to you, there's simply no comparison. "
When Liu Zhankui spoke, he displayed his seniority. Lu Yiwei said modestly, "When it comes to being an official, on one hand, it's about ability, and on the other hand, it's about luck. In terms of ability, I'm worlds apart from you. Maybe my luck was a little better and I came at a good time. "
"Well, luck is a big factor. If I had a good relative, maybe he would be the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee by now, right?"
The strength in Liu Zhankui's words was enough to illustrate his character. He wanted to overwhelm Lu Yiwei through the first conversation and let him understand his authority in Long'an County.
Lu Yiwei was well aware of this. Despite the discomfort in his heart, he still smiled and said, "Having a good relative indeed saves me a lot of detours. But I'm the same as you, we're both farmers. If it wasn't for studying, I might not have been able to leave the mountains in my lifetime. So, reading more books is always useful. "
Liu Zhankui understood that he was mocking him for being uncultured. "I'm just a boor, and I can't be compared to you cultured people. Even if I learn now, it might be too late. "
"That's not necessarily true. Now, the whole country is learning the spirit of the 17th National Congress. We should use this opportunity to learn from it. What do you think?"
Liu Zhankui said disapprovingly, "Oh, Long'an County has already done it. There's no point in learning it."
Lu Yiwei said, "Accurately grasping the country's policies is the most important task of every Party member. So, you can't just skim the surface. You have to do it down-to-earth. "
Liu Zhankui did not seem to want to argue with Lu Yiwei on this issue and changed the topic. "The organization naturally has their reasons for sending you to Long'an. I hope Secretary Lu can familiarize yourself with the work as soon as possible. In addition, it's the end of the year, and all the work has reached the conclusion stage. Spring Festival is the most important day for the Chinese. Family reunions, harmony, and happiness are the happiest things. No matter what you think, let's talk about it next year. "
Lu Yiwei nodded. "Yes, everyone wants to have a good New Year. But Secretary Shao asked me to solve the Longjiang Coal and Xinsheng Coal Mine issues within three days. If I can't solve it, I'm afraid I won't be able to have a good New Year."
"Oh, you don't have to worry about this. I will solve it properly."
"Then I'll have to trouble Mayor Liu."
"Don't mention it. This is the County Government's matter. How can we let the County party committee worry about it?"
Lu Yiwei smiled and did not say anything.
Liu Zhankui saw that it's about time and stood up. "I have already arranged for Zhentao to bring you around and familiarize yourself with the situation. In fact, the work in Long'an is very easy. As long as we work together, there's nothing we can't do. It's often said that the County party committee and the County Government are incompatible. Bullshit! "
Lu Yiwei also stood up. "I am also looking forward to our cooperation."
Liu Zhankui gave him a look that conveyed a domineering aura. It seemed to be telling him that in Long'an, I still have the final say. They shook hands and turned to leave.
Lu Yiwei closed the door and stood at the door, recalling the look and the strength of the handshake just now. He could not help but shake his head with a smile and returned to his seat.
Seeing Liu Zhankui, Lu Yiwei could not help but think of Liu Kecheng, the former secretary of the County party committee in Nanyang County. The two had many similarities, but Liu Zhankui's eyes revealed more of a gangster's aura. If he was not the County Magistrate, he would be no different from a gangster. How could such a person become the County Magistrate?
The conversation just now seemed to be a casual chat, but there were signs of unfriendliness everywhere. It was to tell him that without his consent, if he dared to mess around in Long'an, he would end up like the previous secretary of the County party committee. Lu Yiwei was not surprised by this kind of threat. He was not afraid of the other party being tough. As long as he showed a strong side, there would be a way to deal with him. What he was afraid of was the kind of person who hid a knife behind a smile. He looked docile on the surface, but was up to no good in secret.
Before Lu Yiwei came, he was ready to fight a tough battle. He wanted to stop him, but evil could not prevail over good.
Back to the matter of Longjiang Coal Industry, Lu Yiwei picked up the report and carefully studied it. There was a certain bias in the content, and it completely pushed the blame onto the Longjiang Coal Industry. Moreover, the wording was very harsh, accusing the other party of being unreasonable and aggressive. Having experienced many things, he naturally did not believe a one-sided story. However, if he wanted to know the truth, he probably would not be able to ask in the office. He could only go down to investigate and verify.
However, Lu Yiwei did not want to go to the enterprise first, nor did he want to solve the conflict. He came to Long'an alone, not to face a single person, but a large group. If he rushed down to deal with this matter, the others might not listen to him. Moreover, with Liu Zhankui around, the others would not dare to act rashly.
