That night, a forum was held at the Long 'an County Hotel. The TV station reported the entire event, and Lu Yiwei drank quite a lot. Overall, he had basically achieved his goal.
Liu Zhankui was right. He wanted to use publicity to establish his prestige in Long 'an and gain a foothold. This kind of quiet method could effectively avoid a direct confrontation with the other party. He could use conciliatory methods to slowly disintegrate the other party's power.
After leaving the hotel, Lu Yiwei went directly to the County party committee's Family Quarters. Jiang Zhentao's execution was quite good. He moved from the villa to the unit on the same day.
The unit was much inferior to the villa, but it was large enough. It was about 150 square meters. It had three bedrooms, two living rooms, and two bathrooms. The decoration was still very high-end, adding some warmth to the home.
Back home, Fu Jiangwei stood up from the sofa in casual clothes. He saw that the former leader's secretary had turned into the secretary of the County party committee. He could not help but sigh. He said cautiously, "Secretary Lu, you're back?"
Lu Yiwei had indeed drunk a lot. Hu Peng took off his coat and waved his hand. "Don't be so polite. Come, have a seat."
Fu Jiangwei sat down. Lu Yiwei took out a cigarette and smiled. "We haven't had a good chat since we met a while ago. You've changed a lot these years."
"Really? Why don't I feel it?"
"Of course you can't notice the changes. Do you think I've changed?"
Fu Jiangwei smiled and nodded. "You're a little fatter than before. You're becoming more and more like a leader."
"Are you being sarcastic?"
"No, no. Of course I'm complimenting you."
Seeing Fu Jiangwei's awkward look, Lu Yiwei leaned forward and patted his shoulder. "Old Fu, do you still remember when we were fighting the underworld? We had endless topics to talk about and endless friendship. So, don't treat me as a so-called leader. We're still brothers. Relax. Why are you always so tense? "
Fu Jiangwei smiled awkwardly and said, "I want to let go. We're not on the same level anymore. If we still act like before, it would be insubordination."
"Alright, I don't have so many rules here. We're still good brothers." After saying that, he frowned and asked, "How is it? Did you find anything?"
Fu Jiangwei nodded and took out a pinhole camera from his pocket and handed it to him. "I found three of these cameras in your office. One panoramic view, one aimed at your desk, and one in the break room. The panoramic view was in the painting opposite him, the one aimed at the desk was in the overhead light, and the one aimed at the lounge was in the socket. In addition, I found a bug in the flower pot. Not only that, we found the same device at your place just now, and the car was bugged with a locator. I checked the model number. It's for the police. There's even a code on it. "
Lu Yiwei was shocked when he heard this. It was as he had expected. He slammed the sofa heavily and said, "See? This is the culture of Long 'an. I can't believe they're monitoring me. Fortunately, I discovered it early. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable. Are you sure it's all gone? "
"Yeah, I've used professional equipment to carefully search it and confirmed that it's all gone."
Lu Yiwei heaved a sigh of relief and sneered, "Such despicable means are truly outrageous and appalling. This fully shows how chaotic Long 'an's officialdom is. Furthermore, the security here is terrible, so I won't deal with this matter for now. We'll talk about it after you come over. "
Fu Jiangwei was so excited when he received his call last night that he couldn't sleep. It wasn't because he was about to be promoted, but because he could finally do something big. He had always been suppressed in Nanyang, and it was needless to say how vexed he was. He nodded and said, "I'll be waiting for your call at any time."
Lu Yiwei smiled and said, "It's still the tacit cooperation we had in the past. You go all out and do whatever you want, and I'll back you up if anything happens. As for how far you can go, it's up to you. "
"Got it."
Seeing that it was almost time, Fu Jiangwei got up and said, "I'll be heading back first, Secretary Lu. You should rest early."
"What's the rush? You came all the way here. I've already asked Hu Peng to arrange a place for you."
Fu Jiangwei insisted on going back, so Lu Yiwei gave Hu Peng a wink and sent him downstairs.
After Fu Jiangwei left, Lu Yiwei picked up the pinhole camera and played with it for a long time before throwing it on the table. He got up and went to his bedroom to change and take a shower before going to bed.
Just as he changed his clothes, someone knocked on the door. Lu Yiwei thought it was Hu Peng, so he opened the door without hesitation and asked, "Did you send Jiangwei off?"
"Secretary Lu, it's me …"
Lu Yiwei suddenly turned his head and recognized the man in front of him. It was Shen Chenwei, a member of the County party committee's Standing Committee and Organization Minister.
This was the fourth member of the Standing Committee to meet him. There were still six members of the Standing Committee who hadn't shown up yet, and he only met them yesterday. Logically speaking, when the Secretary of the County party committee arrived, the first person he would meet was the Standing Committee. However, for some unknown reason, the others didn't show up. Shen Chenwei came a bit late, but at least his attitude was sincere.
"Oh, it's Minister Shen. Come in and have a seat. You see, I've just changed my clothes … "
Shen Chenwei closed the door and walked in. He quickly said, "It's okay. We're all friends. I was supposed to meet you during the day, but I went to the city for a meeting. I'm late. Please forgive me. "
Lu Yiwei sat down, took out a cigarette, and said humbly, "You're my senior. I should be the one to meet you."
Shen Chenwei hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Secretary Lu, please don't say that. I still know the basic etiquette."
Seeing that Shen Chenwei was being humble, Lu Yiwei smiled and said, "Minister Shen, are you from Qian 'an?"
Shen Chenwei was quite surprised and said, "Secretary Lu has been to Qian 'an?"
"No, Secretary Bao is my superior. He's from Qian 'an."
Shen Chenwei nodded and said, "Secretary Bao is an outstanding figure in Qian 'an. I've had dinner with him a few times, but I'm not very familiar with him."
Starting from an outsider, Shen Chenwei resolved the awkwardness of their first meeting. Shen Chenwei was short and had sparse hair. His appearance was average, but his frequently moving eyes showed that he was a crafty, slick, and cunning person. On the contrary, He Qisen was more upright and aboveboard than Shen Chenwei. It was enough to look at a person's eyes.
In addition, his late night visit was enough to show his character. He didn't want Liu Zhankui to know, but he couldn't meet him face to face. This way, he didn't offend either side, but he also wanted to please both sides. This kind of person was common in the officialdom. They were the so-called fence-sitters.
