Lu Yiwei could be considered a person who had seen grand occasions, but the scene in front of him made him sigh, "The Nanzhou of today really can't be compared to the past." Looking at Bei Zhou City, it was like a patient with bronchitis entering old age, old and feeble, without a trace of vitality, let alone passion. Nanzhou City, on the other hand, was young and strong, full of passion and boundless vitality. It was no wonder that some people flocked like ducks, rushing to tell each other and throwing money to buy houses. This was a "city built on houses". Of course, Nanzhou's success was the organic unity of chance and inevitability, and could not be replicated.
Zhang Zhiyuan was not disturbed by the surrounding environment. All of this seemed very normal to him. He put his hands in the pockets of his windbreaker, looked straight ahead, and strode forward with steady steps. When they reached the elevator, Lu Yiwei pressed the elevator button first, then turned to the side to let Zhang Zhiyuan go first.
After entering the elevator, Lu Yiwei felt a little uneasy. Judging from his intuition, it was impossible for Zhang Zhiyuan to invite Liu Kecheng and Duan Zhangyun at the same time. Even if it was possible, he could have done it in Nanyang County. Why would he come all the way to Nanzhou City? Moreover, it was not appropriate for him to appear on such an occasion. Presumably, Zhang Zhiyuan understood the intricacies.
For a moment, Lu Yiwei was in a dilemma. If Zhang Zhiyuan did not invite Liu Kecheng, how awkward would it be if the two of them suddenly ran into each other? It might even arouse unwarranted suspicions. No, he had to find out who was attending tonight's banquet. After a fierce struggle, Lu Yiwei gathered his courage and asked in a different tone, "County Zhang, are there any important guests for dinner tonight? I still have two bottles of good wine in my car. Do you want me to go down and bring them up?"
Zhang Zhiyuan shook his head and said, "No need, there are no important guests. It's just Old Duan. He might have even called Bureau Chief Xiao from the Public Security Bureau. It's just the few of us chatting together."
Since Liu Kecheng was not there, it meant that it was a coincidence. As soon as Zhang Zhiyuan finished speaking, the elevator door opened. Lu Yiwei reacted quickly. He moved in front of Zhang Zhiyuan and pressed the button to close the door.
After the elevator door closed, Lu Yiwei turned around and said: "County Zhang, you cannot go down."
Puzzled, Zhang Zhiyuan asked, "Why?"
Lu Yiwei whispered in Zhang Zhiyuan's ear, "County party committee Secretary Liu is also in this hotel."
"Give a call to Duan Changyun and ask him what's going on." Zhang Zhiyuan's face changed.
Compared to Zhang Zhiyuan, Lu Yiwei replied, "County Zhang, we can't stay here for long. Let's leave this place first." When he finished, he pressed the second floor button.
When they came to the second floor, Lu Yiwei went out and checked the surroundings before signaling Zhang Zhiyuan to come out. The two of them quickened their footsteps and went down the stairs to the parking lot in the backyard.
When they boarded the car, Lu Yiwei turned on the headlights and pointed at the vehicle up ahead. "County Zhang, look!"
"We're not eating, let's return to Nanyang." Zhang Zhiyuan replied in a deep voice.
First, there was a car following them, and now, there was Liu Kecheng's sudden appearance. Zhang Zhiyuan couldn't help having a series of questions in his heart. He felt that it wasn't a coincidence. His whereabouts tonight was kept a secret, and aside from those attending the banquet, no one else knew about it. So there must be someone behind this. Could it be Duan Changyun?
"County Zhang, do you want me to give a call to Mr. Duan?" Lu Yiwei reminded.
"No need!" Zhang Zhiyuan decisively replied. Judging from his tone, he was furious. Lu Yiwei did not insist and drove out of the hotel.
When they were about to reach Nanyang County, Duan Changyun called, to which Zhang Zhiyuan replied, "Something came up tonight, so I won't be going over. Let's go another day." When he finished, he hung up the call.
When they arrived at the County party committee's Family Quarters, Zhang Zhiyuan was about to get out of the car when Lu Yiwei said, "County Zhang, do you want me to understand the situation?"
Zhang Zhiyuan retracted his leg and briefly pondered before he replied, "I need the truth. Remember, don't reveal anything."
"Alright, County Zhang. Don't worry about it. Since you haven't eaten tonight, do you want me to buy some food for you?" Lu Yiwei asked.
Waving his hand, Zhang Zhiyuan replied, "Forget it. I'm a little tired, so I'll go back and rest first." When he finished, he got out of the car and left.
After seeing Zhang Zhiyuan going upstairs, Lu Yiwei drove out of the County party committee's Residence and took out his phone to call Li Haidong, "Where are you now?"
Li Haidong was having a meal with a few leaders from the Bureau of Industry and Commerce to discuss the registration of his company. When he came out of the room, he said, "Brother Lu, I'm having a meal in the county. What's the matter?"
"Which restaurant? I'll look for you now. "
Li Haidong raised his head and replied, "Zhou Ji's Bone King."
"Alright, wait downstairs. I'll be there soon."
When they arrived at the restaurant, Li Haidong ran to the driver's side and opened the door for Lu Yiwei. Lu Yiwei got out of the car and said, "Have you finished your meal? Come with me to Nanzhou City now. "
Li Haidong pointed upstairs and said, "There are still leaders from the Bureau of Industry and Commerce upstairs. It's not appropriate for me to suddenly leave, right?"
Lu Yiwei understood what Li Haidong was doing, so he didn't ask too much and asked, "How was your meal?"
Li Haidong bitterly smiled and said, "Those leaders are all good drinkers, and they're still in high spirits. It will probably last for a while."
Even if there was something important, he had to put it aside. What Zhang Zhiyuan asked him to do was more important. Lu Yiwei waved his hand and said, "Let's go. I'll go up and meet them."
When they were about to enter the door, Lu Yiwei suddenly remembered that he was being followed. Obviously, he couldn't drive his car to Nanzhou City anymore. He turned to Li Haidong and said, "You don't need to go in. Go find a car now. Hurry!"
After Li Haidong left, Lu Yiwei tidied up his clothes and entered.
When the leaders from the Bureau of Industry and Commerce saw that the person who entered was Lu Yiwei, they were all stunned. It was Vice-Director Guo Wanfu who reacted quickly and shouted, "Aiyo! What a rare guest. What brings our Mayor Lu here? Come, come, come, sit! "Then he turned to the door and said," Waiter, bring another set of chopsticks. "
After Lu Yiwei sat down, he smiled and explained, "Li Haidong had something to do at home, so he had to leave first. I'll be accompanying him. Does anyone have any objections?"
None of them were fools. Li Haidong was just a small village head. How could he set up a company? It must be Lu Yiwei behind him. Guo Wanfu poured a glass of wine for Lu Yiwei and said, "Mayor Lu, this is your matter to begin with. Aren't you looking down on us by getting a village head to send us away? You came at the right time. Whether the company can be successfully registered will depend on our relationship tonight. "When he finished, he gave a signal to everyone, and they all understood his intention.
Lu Yiwei didn't want to be entangled, and it was better to settle it as soon as possible. He replied, "Director Guo, you're wrong. I'm only a strategist at best, and you're asking me to set up a company. Aren't you asking me to make a mistake? But no matter what, since we're fortunate to be gathered here today, we can drink however you want. I, Lu Yiwei, will accompany you to the end. "
"Good, straightforward! I like people who are straightforward! " Guo Wanfu didn't expect that Lu Yiwei wouldn't refuse at all. He sighed inwardly, "People who have been secretaries for leaders are really different. If it wasn't for that incident, maybe he would be the head of some unit now."
Under Guo Wanfu's invitation, everyone raised their glasses and drank with Lu Yiwei. After a few rounds, Lu Yiwei took a few glasses from the cabinet next to him and said, "Drinking from a wine cup is not wholehearted at all. Come, let's switch to a bigger one. Half a glass each, how about it?"
Everyone looked at each other and didn't dare to say anything. They were intimidated by Lu Yiwei's attitude. Guo Wanfu wasn't afraid and said, "Fine. Half a glass it is."
After three rounds of drinking, there were already five or six bottles on the floor. Other than Lu Yiwei, who was still sitting upright, the others climbed onto the table and muttered, "Come … continue … drinking."
When Lu Yiwei saw this, he called the waiter in to settle the bill and said, "Give these gentlemen two bottles of good wine and a carton of good cigarettes each."
After sending those drunkards away, Li Haidong drove Niu Fuyong's car over. When Lu Yiwei boarded the car, he felt his stomach churning as he opened the door and vomited.
After vomiting, Lu Yiwei felt much more relaxed. He had drunk at least half a liter.
"Brother Lu, are you alright?" Li Haidong asked with concern.
Lu Yiwei was like a pile of meat as he weakly waved his hand. "Don't worry about me. Go to Nanzhou. I'll take a nap first, wake me up when we arrive. "
When Lu Yiwei arrived at the Lidou Garden, he saw that Liu Kecheng's car was still parked there. He then searched for Duan Zhangyun's car, but it was nowhere to be seen. That meant that Duan Zhangyun and Liu Kecheng weren't together.
Since I can discover Liu Kecheng's car, then did Duan Zhangyun discover it as well? Lu Yiwei pondered. If that was the case, then wouldn't there be a misunderstanding between Duan Zhangyun and Zhang Zhiyuan?
Lu Yiwei did not want to pursue this matter, so he reported it to Zhang Zhiyuan. Zhang Zhiyuan also felt relieved and did not speak any further.
At this moment, Zhang Zhiyuan's task was completed. But what made Lu Yiwei curious was who Liu Kecheng was with. It's already so late, so why is he still here? Could it be that he's going to stay here tonight?
Unable to suppress his curiosity, Lu Yiwei decided to get to the bottom of it. He got Li Haidong to drive the car to a hotel opposite and chose a room that could observe the Lidou Garden. The next morning, Lu Yiwei woke up early and got Li Haidong to check if Liu Kecheng's car was still there. On the other hand, he stared at the opposite without blinking, fearing that he might miss something.
A brief moment later, Li Haidong came back and said that the car was still there. Thus, the two of them quickly checked out and ran to the parking lot, waiting for something good to happen.
