Lin Xiwen thought he had misheard. He went to the bed and lay down, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He sat up and said, "No, it must be him. It must be him."
His wife said impatiently, "Whether it is him or not, you will know when you go back and ask. Stop being so noisy."
Lin Xiwen was thinking when his phone rang again. He said excitedly, "Look, it's the same number. He is calling again."
His wife leaned forward to take a look and urged, "Then hurry up and answer it."
Lin Xiwen carefully picked up the phone and pressed the speaker button. He said politely, "Hello, who is this?"
Lu Yiwei was not angry. He said, "I am Lu Yiwei. Is this Lin Xiwen?"
This time, Lin Xiwen heard it clearly. His heart tightened and he asked tentatively, "I am. Are you Secretary Lu?"
"Oh, I am. Are you asleep? "
Lin Xiwen's heart beat faster when he got the answer. He deliberately bowed as if Lu Yiwei was standing in front of him. He said, "Secretary Lu, I am really sorry. I didn't recognize you just now. I am sorry. I just lay down and haven't slept yet. "
"Oh, it's okay. If you are not asleep, come to my place now. I will wait for you." He hung up.
Lin Xiwen almost fainted when he heard the secretary of the County party committee calling him in the middle of the night. He stood there in a daze for a long time. His wife pushed him and said excitedly, "Why are you standing there like a fool? Hurry up and go."
Lin Xiwen came back to his senses. He hugged his wife and kissed her left and right. He could not hide his excitement. "Wife, did you hear that? Secretary Lu is calling me. I am going to make a comeback."
His wife was also excited. She nodded repeatedly. "Good, good. Hurry up and go. Don't let Secretary Lu wait."
"Okay, okay. I will go now."
He said and quickly put on his clothes. His wife could not sleep anymore. She sat up and thought for a long time. She took out two boxes of wild jujube juice from behind the door. "This is my first time visiting. I can't go empty-handed. Bring this."
"Is it inappropriate?"
"What's inappropriate about it? It's not like you're giving me a gift. Listen to me."
Lin Xiwen took his wife's advice and ran out of the door with the jujube juice. He started the car and drove out of the gate.
Ten minutes later, the doorbell rang. Lu Yiwei got up and opened the door. He saw Lin Xiwen standing outside the door with a happy face and holding something in his hand. "If you want to come, then come. What are you taking?"
Lin Xiwen came in with a hunched back and said, "Secretary Lu, this is the wild jujube juice produced by the factory in the past. It's especially delicious and appetizing."
"Oh, then I'll try it."
"Hey!"
Lin Xiwen put it down excitedly and walked to the sofa. Lu Yiwei pointed at the sofa and said, "What are you standing there for? Sit down."
After Lin Xiwen sat down, Lu Yiwei looked at him carefully. This person was about forty years old, tall and sturdy, and full of energy. His eyes were clear, and one could clearly feel that he was different from the other officials. Lu Yiwei picked up a cigarette and threw it to him. "Why did I call you here so late? I just want to have a chat. Let me briefly introduce you."
Lin Xiwen immediately said, "My name is Lin Xiwen, from Long 'an's Chengguan Town. I'm 42 years old now. I graduated from Agricultural University in 1982 and was assigned to work at the Agriculture Commission. After that, I was transferred to Tianjin Town and served as a poverty alleviation specialist, deputy mayor, secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, deputy secretary of the Party Committee, mayor, deputy director of the Development and Reform Commission, and director of the Development and Reform Commission.
"Oh, the director of the Development and Reform Commission was transferred to a non-staple food factory? How did you transfer him?"
Lin Xiwen blushed and stammered, "Secretary Lu, some things are not easy to say."
"Just say it."
Lin Xiwen plucked up his courage and said, "Back then, there were several projects that were against the regulations. I did not approve them, so …"
"What projects?"
"Fushan Ecological Villa, Hunting Ground, Fuxing District project, and now the County party committee building."
Lu Yiwei frowned and said, "So, these projects were against the regulations?"
Lin Xiwen told the truth, "At least the Fushan Ecological Villa was. As for the rest, I don't know if the procedures were completed."
"Oh. The County transferred you to the non-staple food factory. Do you have any complaints? "
Lin Xiwen thought quickly and did not know if he should tell the truth. After a while, he said, "Of course there are complaints, but I obey the organization's arrangements."
Lu Yiwei nodded and said, "No matter what happened in the past, let bygones be bygones. I know a little about your situation. You are very capable and smart. I intend to put you in an important position, but I haven't decided what to do. Are you willing to work for me? "
Lin Xiwen said excitedly, "Of course!"
"Okay. Be prepared in advance and wait for my call."
After sending Lin Xiwen off, Lu Yiwei heaved a sigh of relief. He went to his bedroom and lay down. He tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. Everyone wanted to be a leader, but it was not easy to be one. One had to worry about many things, think about many things, and get involved in all kinds of matters. It was mentally and physically exhausting. And this was just the beginning. He was not facing one person, but a huge team.
He remembered the decision announced at the end of the afternoon meeting to transfer Qiu Yingxue to be the Secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection. Was it that Qiu Yingxue?
He sat up and took out Xijiang Literature from the study room. After flipping through for a long time, he found Qiu Yingxue's essay, "Wandering in the Skies of Asia." The writing was beautiful and smooth. It was as if the essay had entered her heart and was wandering in the skies of Asia with her. He did not have many hobbies, unlike others. His only hobby was literature. He would write some things when he had nothing to do, but he had never published them. He would only read them when he was free. Therefore, he especially cherished a talent like Wang Wenchao. It could be considered as a kindred spirit. What he really appreciated was Qiu Yingxue's writing.
But on the other hand, what was the purpose of making a weak woman the Secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection? Also, how did she get promoted? Did she rely on her beauty like Ma Feifei? A series of questions troubled him until dawn.
The next day, as usual, Jiang Zhentao came to the room early. Lu Yiwei slept very late last night, and he had just finished washing up when he came in. He said while eating breakfast, "Inform Mayor Liu to come to my office later. Also, arrange for someone to inspect the primary school in Tianjin Town today. Focus on the safety facilities. I have already instructed Mayor Wen yesterday. "
"Okay."
