After the rush of excitement, he became extremely calm. Just like after a tide, it could be a dazzling array of fish, prawns, clams, and crabs, or it could be a devastated pile of garbage. If the natural resources of Long'an County were destroyed, it could be a disaster. In a short period of time, there might be a beautiful GDP, and the people would be rich, but in a few decades, what could the descendants of Long'an enjoy? There would be empty coal mines, abandoned factories, and desolation all over the mountains and plains. At that time, no one would remember how much contribution they had made to Long'an. They would only remember that they had ruined the beautiful scenery of Long'an.
Some people might say that they would be buried in peace after a few decades, so who cared about what would happen in the future. However, Lu Yiwei could not live with his conscience. He would rather give up today's wealth to leave sustainable resources for Long'an.
These were all secondary. More importantly, the words of the childe in front of him were credible. Those who came from the capital all had no control over their mouths. When they started, they would talk without thinking. When Niu Fuyong first mentioned this project to him, his first instinct was that it was money laundering, fraudulently obtaining state funds, and then leaving a mess behind. He did not care how it was cleaned up, and then moved on to the next place to continue his "fraud." If that was the case, it was even more impossible to let his factory in.
Lu Yiwei was not making assumptions. He knew of no less than five similar cases. Back then, there was a relative who claimed to be a leader of a certain department in the country. He took the approval and went to a county in the south to invest in a factory. When the leader heard this, he was overjoyed and treated the relative like an ancestor. He also gave the green light within the scope of his authority to create the best conditions to help the factory land. However, after taking thousands of acres of land and only building a few factories, the investor disappeared overnight. The leaders in the county were anxious. In the end, they found the relative of the leader. The relative simply said that he had no money to invest, and that the leaders did not dare to do anything to him. They could only swallow their anger and clean up the mess.
The methods were all the same, but many local leaders were willing to be fooled. Why? For the sake of the black hat on his head, for the sake of getting promoted and getting rich, he didn't dare to offend this group of relatives.
Lu Yiwei was also afraid of these rich kids and couldn't afford to offend them. However, he couldn't become a sinner in history and be spurned by the world. If worst comes to worst, I'll just quit, but I can't let the local people suffer. He said thoughtfully, "Thank you, Mr. Tian, for your special concern for Long 'an. I thank you on behalf of the people of Long' an. It's not urgent, and I don't have time to think about it. When the situation in Long'an stabilizes, we can sit down and have a good talk. What do you think? "
Tian Jundong was quite satisfied with his attitude. He stood up and said, "Brother Fuyong often talks about you in front of me. He says that you are loyal and sentimental. After our last interaction, it seems that you are indeed like that. I will definitely make friends with you. If you have any difficulties, just tell me. I'll do my best. "
"Alright, see you next time."
Lu Yiwei walked him to the door and turned back. He stood in front of the window and watched the dazzling Hummer drive out of the County party committee compound. He couldn't calm down for a long time. He knew that Tian Jundong would come again.
Xu Changyuan saw him off and returned to his office. He said respectfully, "Secretary Lu, they've left."
Lu Yiwei went back to his desk and sat down. He said, "What did Wang Zhiquan talk to them about?"
Xu Changyuan said calmly, "Nothing much. Last night, when we were playing cards, he accidentally revealed that there was coal under the mountain. The speaker didn't mean it, but the listener took it to heart. This morning, Mr. Tian and Mr. Niu walked around the mountain and went to the hunting ground. They didn't talk about anything else."
"Oh, did Tian Jundong really get the call?"
"This … I'm not sure."
"Alright, put this aside for now. If someone else asks, don't say anything."
"Understood."
Lu Yiwei saw that he was a little nervous. He pointed to the chair in front of the desk and said, "Why are you standing? Sit down and talk."
After sitting down, Lu Yiwei took out a cigarette and handed it to him. He said, "You're not much older than me. Don't be so reserved in the future. You have to show respect in public, but you're friends in private. The day before yesterday, when I went to the Couplet of Literature, I took a fancy to you. You're good in all aspects. As for your ability, it still needs to be tested. When did you go to the government office? "
Xu Changyuan said with ease, "I work in Jinmen Town. Later, I was transferred back to write materials. I've been in the government office for more than ten years."
"Oh, did Mayor Liu transfer you back?"
Xu Changyuan was very smart. He heard the overtones. He wanted to ask about his relationship with Liu Zhankui. He immediately said, "When I came back, Mayor Liu was still the secretary of Yongsheng Town. He didn't like me. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been sitting on the bench in the government office. Some of the people who came in at the same time became the secretary of the town, and the lowest was the deputy director. "
This was a clear indication of his attitude, and Lu Yiwei was quite satisfied. He was in urgent need of someone who knew the situation in the county. For now, he would treat him as one of his own. He asked, "Why were the others promoted, but not you?"
"This … Mayor Liu …"
Lu Yiwei interrupted, "Don't blame the leader. It's because you didn't do well in some areas."
Xu Changyuan panicked. He lowered his head and kept quiet.
Lu Yiwei had learned a lot from Bai Zongfeng over the years. He was especially good at using people. He was also very good at reading people. He had specially asked him how to read what he wanted from a stranger.
Bai Zongfeng was very happy to teach him his "secret manual." He said that to judge a person, one had to look at the way they dressed. No matter if they were rich or poor, a person who knew how to dress would look like they were walking on a runway even if they wore a tattered jacket. A person who didn't even know how to dress himself up could not hope to achieve great things. Paying attention to the details was a form of respect for oneself, and also a form of respect for others.
Next, look at the behavior. People with too many body movements were not reliable. They would be vetoed. A person's psychological reaction was usually conveyed through facial expressions, words, emotions, and body movements. Under normal circumstances, the first two were the most common, while the latter was an ingrained behavior habit. Expressing emotions through body movements was the easiest way to expose one's personality and even make people feel disgusted. It was like a host standing in front of the television and dancing. The first instinct was to feel disgusted.
Then, look at physiognomy. Some of the so-called metaphysics summarized by the ancients seemed ridiculous, but in fact, it hid a deep philosophical meaning. The heavens were full and the earth was round. People with regular facial features were usually more upright. On the contrary, people with bad intentions tended to go to extremes.
Finally, and most importantly, the eyes. It was said that the eyes were the window to the soul. Everything could be reflected in the eyes. Clear eyes, resolute gaze, fearless, and daring to look directly at others. These people tended to be more confident …
