Back at the hotel's reception hall, the waiter served a cup of tea. Lu Yiwei took a sip and asked. "Are the reporters still around?"
Xu Changyuan quickly replied. "About 5 to 6 of them left, and another batch came. There are about a dozen of them left."
"Oh? How did they settle them?"
"They gave each of them a red packet worth 2,000 RMB and a small gift."
"Alright. Keep the accounts and get me to sign it later. But this is not a good time."
"Understood."
After a while, Liu Zhankui came in with a rosy face. He looks much better than this morning. He sat down and asked. "Secretary Shao and Mayor Dong have left?"
"Yes. They were sent off just now."
"Sigh. This incident is not peaceful at all. But luckily, Director Huang told me that the situation has turned for the better. Maybe the higher-ups want to deal with this matter coldly. "
Lu Yiwei nodded. "No matter what the higher-ups want to do, we must know what to do. If this matter is not handled well, not only will Secretary Shao and Mayor Dong be embarrassed, but there will also be endless troubles in the future. "
Liu Zhankui understood what Dong Xuebing is trying to say. "Then let's follow what we discussed this morning."
"Ok. Let's have a meeting tomorrow morning to discuss this matter, and also to welcome the new Commission for Discipline Inspection Secretary. We did not have time to inform her about this matter."
Liu Zhankui guessed that this matter must have something to do with Lu Yiwei. He nodded and said, "Alright, you arrange it. Oh, what about Director Huang's side? "
"What do you think?"
Liu Zhankui rolled his eyes and stretched out a finger. "Why don't you give everyone this number? Director Huang can give me five times the amount? "
"Alright, do as you see fit. I won't ask any further."
Liu Zhankui is more proactive in this matter. After all, this is related to his interests. If the higher-ups pursue this matter, Lu Yiwei might escape, and Liu Zhankui might not be able to escape. "Alright, I'll get someone to prepare it and send it in in a while."
Lu Yiwei rubbed his temples and stood up. "I will leave this matter to you. I need to go back and rest. I am tired."
"Sure."
When he got out of the car, it was already a vast expanse of whiteness outside. This year, the rain and snow were more frequent than in previous years. It had only been a few days since the last snowfall, and it had started again. If it rained heavily, he wouldn't be able to go home for a while. However, he did not plan to go back. The situation here was not stable, and it would not be safe to go back.
When he was about to go upstairs, Lu Yiwei suddenly remembered something. He stopped and said: "Oh, is the new Secretary Qiu settled down?"
Xu Changyuan hurriedly said, "She's already settled down. The Agency Affairs Bureau arranged for her to be in the same unit as you. She's on the fourth floor."
"Oh."
Lu Yiwei looked up and saw that the light in the room diagonally opposite him was still on. He said, "Take care of her later. See what she needs and get it as soon as possible."
"Understood."
Back in his room, Lu Yiwei took off his jacket and lay down on the sofa. He had a splitting headache and felt uncomfortable all over. These days of high-intensity work had given him no chance to catch his breath. His workload was several times that of Jiangdong City. However, the two could not be compared. Previously, he had someone to rely on. Now, he was like an eagle that had flown out of its swaddling clothes. No matter how dangerous it was, he had to find his own food.
Sometimes, he wondered why he worked so hard. He had a son and a daughter. He was not short of money. He also had a social status. Why did he have to work so hard? People always had their own goals. According to Maslow's hierarchy of needs, he had completed three levels: physiological needs, safety needs, love, and sense of belonging. Currently, he was on his way to the fourth level: respect. He was still far from achieving self-realization.
Respect seemed simple, but it was extremely difficult to achieve in reality. The capital of respect needed to be put in a lot of effort and overcome a lot of difficulties to reach the unattainable height. Take his current situation for example. Some people seemed to respect him because he was the secretary of the County party committee, but in reality, they were very unhappy. More people treated him as a "kid." To change this situation, he needed to show his results.
That night, he spent on the sofa again. When he woke up, it was already white outside the window. The snow this time was even heavier than the previous time. The entire town was covered in the beautiful snow. It was also this snow that buried the 1226 incident that shocked the nation.
The next day, the provincial and city investigation teams left Long'an County. Everyone was anxiously waiting for the results. However, no matter how long they waited, the results did not come. It was as if they had forgotten about it. No one mentioned it again. It was not because the impact of the incident was not big enough. It was because a major event that shook the nation was happening …
Similar events were collectively referred to as hot topics. Since it was a hot topic, it had a certain timeliness. At that moment, the nation's attention was focused on the incident. As other events happened or as time passed, not many people would remember it. In Long'an, it would be considered an earth-shattering event. However, in front of the nation, it was not worth mentioning. After all, the country was vast. Hot topics happened every day. It depended on who could control the direction of public opinion.
The direction of the media might seem difficult to control, but in reality, there was always a pair of invisible hands behind the scenes. For example, a small public relations company could "stir up trouble" with a huge profit chain and industrial chain behind it. This move was rather ingenious. First, they deleted the news on a large scale, then used his warm photos to forcefully whitewash the incident. Although it did not achieve the desired effect, at least it cleverly diverted the attention of the incident.
In addition, a public relations company alone was not enough. The relevant departments in the province would definitely come forward to deal with it. After all, it concerned the reputation of the province. In addition, with the pressure from the higher-ups, the convergence of forces from all sides caused the situation to change.
Although the higher-ups did not pursue the matter, Lu Yiwei would not be lenient in this matter. All the people who were involved were dealt with severely. He had to establish his authority and answer to the public, so he had no choice. The most difficult to deal with were the mayor of Jinmen Town, Li Xuhong, and the deputy mayor, Wen Jianghe.
Although Li Xuhong had a certain degree of responsibility, he was very proactive in this incident. This also let Lu Yiwei see his courage and ability. However, if he was not dealt with, it would be difficult to convince the public. The night before the meeting of the standing committee, he specially talked to him. The content of the conversation was very short. He only told him four words: "Wait and see."
