At 7: 11 am, Liu Kecheng came out, followed by a beautiful woman. Lu Yiwei recognized the beautiful woman. She was Zhou Lixia, a teacher from County No.1 Middle School and the wife of the director of the Land and Resources Bureau. Seeing this scene, Lu Yiwei was dumbfounded. Although he had heard about Liu Kecheng's romantic history, he wouldn't believe it if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes.
If it weren't for Liu Kecheng, he wouldn't have fallen into this situation. Lu Yiwei had once made up his mind to take revenge, but he was just a small deputy mayor. How could he shake the secretary of the County party committee? It was just a fool's dream. But now it was different. Zhang Zhiyuan had offered him an olive branch. Moreover, Zhang Zhiyuan was also dissatisfied with Liu Kecheng. It was a good opportunity to use Zhang Zhiyuan to drive this cunning and domineering person out of Nanyang County.
Lu Yiwei was so angry that he regretted not bringing his camera with him. He missed such a good opportunity to catch Liu Kecheng. But he soon calmed down. Since Liu Kecheng had done this once, he believed that there would be a second time soon.
After Liu Kecheng walked far away, Lu Yiwei signaled Li Haidong not to follow too closely. The two of them went to a roadside stall for breakfast before returning to Nanyang County.
Back in Nanyang County, Lu Yiwei had a brief conversation with Li Haidong and drove his car to the traffic police station.
At the traffic police station, Lu Yiwei found the car that followed him last night through his friend. The owner of the car was Zhao Zhigang.
Zhao Zhigang was a celebrity in Nanyang County. With the help of his brother-in-law, who was the director of the Finance Bureau, he made a lot of money. Zhao Zhigang ran several entertainment venues in the county and had a group of thugs under his command. This person was cruel and merciless. He had a lot of murder cases in his hands. He was a cancer in Nanyang County. But with his brother-in-law's protection, no one dared to do anything to him.
"Why is Zhao Zhigang following me?" Lu Yiwei was very puzzled. This person is too dangerous. Could it be that he has his eyes on Zhang Zhiyuan? No! It was definitely not that simple. Lu Yiwei made a bold assumption. Could it be related to Liu Kecheng?
Who knew Zhang Zhiyuan's whereabouts the best? He didn't have a secretary, so there were only two possibilities. Either Duan Zhangyun didn't leak it, or his driver or the director of the government office, Cai Jianguo.
Lu Yiwei quickly denied the former. It was impossible for Duan Zhangyun and Zhang Zhiyuan to have a meal together. It didn't make sense. His chauffeur? It didn't seem very likely. He had brought the driver here, and he had asked for leave. Then there was only one possibility, which was that Cai Jianguo was following them. Thinking of this, Lu Yiwei broke out in cold sweat. What was the purpose of the director of the government office following the County Mayor?
Lu Yiwei didn't know if he should tell Zhang Zhiyuan about his deduction. Before he could think of a way to satisfy both sides, Zhang Zhiyuan called him and asked him to go to Duan Zhangyun's office.
When Duan Zhangyun entered the office, Duan Zhangyun stood up to welcome him. This made Lu Yiwei feel flattered. When Duan Zhangyun was the director of the Publicity Department, he was close to Chu Yunchi. Lu Yiwei naturally treated him as Chu Yunchi's ally. But after Chu Yunchi got into trouble, Duan Zhangyun backed down. He didn't have the courage to speak up for Chu Yunchi. Even when Liu Kecheng presided over the meeting to decide Lu Yiwei's fate, Duan Zhangyun also voted in favor of it.
The bureaucracy was cruel. Even if one party was close, once one party fell into trouble, it would be considered a good relationship if one party stepped on the other party. Protecting oneself was the way to survive in the bureaucracy.
Shaking Lu Yiwei's hand, Duan Zhangyun patted Lu Yiwei's shoulder and pretended to be deep in thought. "Yiwei, you've suffered."
Lu Yiwei didn't know how to reply, so he could only smile. "Chairman Duan, without your nurturing, I, Lu Yiwei, wouldn't have grown so quickly."
"Look at him …" Duan Zhangyun turned to Zhang Zhiyuan and sighed, "This Lu Yiwei is a tough nut to crack. Come, have a seat!"
After Duan Zhangyun sat down, he started chatting with Zhang Zhiyuan about Lu Yiwei. "County Zhang, I won't hide it from you. Youngsters nowadays are very impetuous, and they want to reach the heavens in a single step. If they suffer any setbacks, they would hide in their shells and not dare to show their faces. But look at Lu Yiwei. He has weathered so many storms, but he is still standing tall. This kind of person is a real man. You must put him in an important position. "
Zhang Zhiyuan smiled and didn't say anything. He wouldn't express any opinion on matters involving his predecessor.
As the two chatted, Lu Yiwei carefully observed the cup of tea beside Zhang Zhiyuan. The tea was obviously a lot lighter, which meant that Zhang Zhiyuan had been here for a long time. Maybe the discussion was over before he called Lu Yiwei over.
Seeing that the topic of Lu Yiwei couldn't arouse Zhang Zhiyuan's interest, Duan Zhangyun changed the topic. "County Zhang, the CPPCC lacks everything except empty houses. If you intend to set up the Chuangwei Command Center in the CPPCC, I'll ask them to vacate the entire first floor for office use."
Zhang Zhiyuan picked up the teacup and drank a mouthful of water. "If it goes through Secretary Liu, you can directly arrange these matters for Lu Yiwei."
"Okay, okay!" Duan Zhangyun also realized that Zhang Zhiyuan was re-using Lu Yiwei. This kid's luck was really good, but he didn't know who was behind Lu Yiwei. Could it be Chu Yunchi?
After the docking work was completed, Zhang Zhiyuan stood up and said, "Okay, that's it. I'll go to Secretary Liu's office to discuss this matter later. Wait for my call." After that, he left with Lu Yiwei.
After leaving the CPPCC building, Lu Yiwei was in a dilemma. He couldn't follow Zhang Zhiyuan, but he couldn't stay either. If he left, he had no status. He wasn't from the government office, nor was he his secretary. If he didn't leave, Zhang Zhiyuan had been putting him in an important position these days. Zhang Zhiyuan seemed to have the intention to train him.
Zhang Zhiyuan seemed to have seen through Lu Yiwei's thoughts. Before he got in the car, he said to Lu Yiwei, "You go back first. Keep your phone on for 24 hours. I'll contact you if there's anything."
After Lu Yiwei left, an invisible battle was about to start in the County party committee building. No matter who won this "battle", it would determine the direction of the whole situation, including the fate of Lu Yiwei.
Zhang Zhiyuan's words made Lu Yiwei put down everything he was doing. He sat at home and waited for the call at ease. He didn't know why. It was a good thing for him that Zhang Zhiyuan used him. He was finally going to jump out of the remote Beihe Town. He should be very excited and even say a lot of grateful words to repay Zhang Zhiyuan. However, his state of mind was unusually calm, and there was no ripple. He was so calm that he couldn't believe it himself.
On the contrary, he felt that it was not necessarily a good thing. He had a hunch that things were not so simple. It was very likely that he would be involved in the whirlpool of power struggle again. And the object of this struggle was still his old rival, Liu Kecheng.
The cruelty of the struggle in the past was still vivid in his mind. Although Chu Yunchi's means were tough, he couldn't resist Liu Kecheng's strength. Before Chu Yunchi showed his fangs, Liu Kecheng had already taken him down. In the face of such a strong opponent, could Zhang Zhiyuan, who had just been appointed as the county magistrate, defeat him?
