Lu Yiwei's smile froze on his face. He suppressed his anger and said, "Do you care about my identity that much? Even if I'm a student's parent or an ordinary member of society, shouldn't I point out the hidden dangers to you?"
The man waved his hand and said, "That's none of your business. Go do what you need to do. It's easy for you to talk, but you're just spouting nonsense. You should pay up. If you don't have money, nothing you say will work. "
Nan Chao couldn't stand it anymore. He wanted to reveal his identity, but he didn't dare to do so without Lu Yiwei's permission. He could only watch anxiously from the side.
Lu Yiwei said patiently, "You mean you can solve the problem with money?"
"Of course. The County Government has money for everything except for the schools. Look at the County party committee's compound. It's so grand. It's like a palace. Look at our school. It's still an old building from the 70s and 80s. No one cares if it collapses, "the man complained.
Lu Yiwei found it irritating, but he couldn't refute it. Although his words weren't pleasant to the ears, it was the truth. He looked at his watch. It was almost time for the meeting, so he planned to work on the spot. He picked up his phone and called Jiang Zhentao. "I'm at Jinmen Town Primary School now. Ask the deputy county head in charge of education and the person in charge of the Education Bureau to come over."
The man seemed to have guessed something when he heard this. Then, he looked at him carefully and stammered, "You can't be the new Secretary Lu, right?"
Lu Yiwei smiled and didn't respond.
The man's expression changed drastically. He couldn't stand steadily, and his eyes were filled with fear and uneasiness. He staggered and suddenly turned around to run to the school building.
Soon, a fat middle-aged man ran out in a hurry. He was bald, and he could only rely on the right side of his hair to support the left side. When he ran, his hair fluttered in the wind. In addition, his figure was about 50/50. His hair was short, and he looked funny when he ran. Even so, he didn't forget to tidy his hair.
He ran to Lu Yiwei, panting. Yes, he was the new secretary of the County party committee. He had seen him on TV last night. He immediately stretched out his hand and said excitedly, "Secretary Lu, I'm really sorry. I didn't know you were coming." After that, he turned around and glared at the man, reprimanding him, "Hurry up and apologize to Secretary Lu!"
The man was so frightened that his legs were trembling. He leaned forward and lowered his head as much as possible, not daring to look at the other party. He said timidly, "I'm sorry, Secretary Lu. Forgive me for being blind. I shouldn't have spoken to you like that."
Lu Yiwei had always sympathized with the weak, especially the leaders and educators who worked on the frontlines. He hurriedly said, "You didn't do anything wrong, why should you apologize? Don't be like this, I don't blame you, I should be the one feeling ashamed. Every word you say is reasonable, every word stabs me in the heart. What's your name? "
The man was still very nervous. He looked up and quickly lowered his head, whispering, "My name is Li Jianfeng."
"Very good. I like people who dare to speak and speak the truth."
The principal next to him hurriedly said, "Secretary Lu, my name is Liu Jinshan. I've worked in Jinmen Town Primary School for more than 20 years."
Lu Yiwei could understand what he said, so he chatted with him. "Are there many students in the school?"
Liu Jinshan sighed and said, "There used to be many students. At its peak, there were more than 1,000 students in the school. We really couldn't accommodate them, so we rented private houses for classes. But in recent years, the number of students has been decreasing, and now there are less than 100 students. "
"Oh? Why? "
"Jinmen Town is close to the county, so many people go to the county to study. Those who are better off go to the city. In addition, there are more and more people going out to work in recent years, bringing their children with them. The loss is quite serious."
"Oh, this is a practical problem. It's the inevitable result of urbanization."
"Yes, if they can make money at home, who would want to go out to work?"
As they were talking, two or three cars quickly drove into the courtyard. They thought it was the deputy mayor, so four or five people got out of the cars. A middle-aged man stuck out his hand from afar and walked over with a smile. He shook Lu Yiwei's hand vigorously and said, "Secretary Lu, it's our responsibility not to welcome you. I'm Kang Jie, the secretary of the Party Committee of Jinmen Town. This is the mayor, Li Xuhong, and this is the deputy mayor … "
Lu Yiwei shook hands with them one by one. Then, two cars drove in from the right. The deputy mayor, Wen Jianghe, walked over and put on a humble attitude. "Secretary Lu, I didn't know you were going to study education, so I rushed over as soon as I received the notice."
A group of people looked at him with anticipation. Lu Yiwei didn't have time to enjoy the feeling of superiority. He said directly, "I was passing by and came in to take a look. A big car almost knocked down a few students just now. It was too dangerous. I have already told Li Jianfeng that we should set up warning signs and strengthen safety supervision. "
Wen Jianghe nodded and said, "Secretary Lu's suggestion is very correct and timely. I will order the education department to rectify it."
"Yes, not just Tianjin Primary School. We should strengthen the inspection of hidden dangers in all the primary and middle schools in the county. School safety is no small matter. If something happens, none of us can bear the responsibility."
The group of people nodded, and a few of them quickly took notes in their notebooks.
Lu Yiwei looked around and said, "Is the director of the Ministry of Education here?"
A man hurried forward and said with yellow teeth, "Secretary Lu, I am the director of the Ministry of Education, Yu Junzhi."
Lu Yiwei nodded and said, "Contact Mayor Wen and use half a month to do a survey of all the schools in the county. First, check for hidden dangers, and second, check the condition of the teaching buildings. See if there are any dangerous buildings that need to be repaired or rebuilt. We can't save money on education. We will give more support in next year's budget. "
Principal Liu Jinshan took the lead and clapped, and the others followed. Wen Jianghe, the deputy county head, gave him a meaningful look. He seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Lu Yiwei's intervention in education. When Lu Yiwei looked over, he immediately smiled and nodded in agreement.
"First, eliminate the hidden dangers in Tianjin Primary School. I still have a meeting in the city, so I will leave first. "
The group of people immediately surrounded him and said, "Secretary Lu, stay for dinner. You can leave after eating …"
Although they were polite words, Lu Yiwei rejected them all and left in the car. Before leaving, he glanced at Wen Jianghe's expression in the rearview mirror and saw that he was reluctant. He could not help but sneer.
It was his third day in Long 'an County. Lu Yiwei could clearly feel that the leaders of Long' an County were relatively lazy. They did not have any passion for work and were all good at bootlicking. Rome was not built in a day, and it would take time to reverse this situation. However, how much time was left for him? Three years, five years, or even longer?
