The crowd chatted with Lu Yiwei for a long time. Wei Deming saw Lu Yiwei shivering in the cold wind and took off his military coat to cover himself. For him, this morning was not in vain. He did not expect anything else but to leave a good impression. From the signs, his fall was not in vain. Lu Yiwei placed him in an important position, and the crowd gave him the nickname 'Secretary Who Fell Down'.
Lu Yiwei did not stay for long and continued his journey. After leaving Longquan Town, he arrived at Red Flag Village. Contrary to Longquan Town, not a single person could be seen on the road. The foot-thick snow pressed out two tire tracks, and a cloud of doubt appeared on his face.
Xu Changyuan was also panicking. He secretly observed Lu Yiwei's facial expression through the rearview mirror and whispered, "Secretary Lu, I have informed all the units and towns last night. I am still worried, so I arranged for someone to call the County Head personally this morning."
Lu Yiwei's face was gloomy and did not say anything. When they were about to reach the office, he said, "Turn in."
When they arrived at the office, the snow in the courtyard was thicker than outside. They could only walk through two paths, one leading to the gate, and the other to the toilet. Even the vehicles parked on the left and right were covered in thick snow. There was not a single person in sight. It was so desolate that they thought it was an abandoned building.
After getting out of the car, Lu Yiwei walked into the office building. He first came to the office, but there was no one. There were cigarette butts and sunflower seed shells on the ground. There were some documents on the table, and the sofa was covered in a thick layer of dust. There was also a pile of poker cards on the coffee table.
Seeing this scene, Xu Changyuan did not dare to breathe loudly. He whispered, "Should I call Secretary Li Gang?"
Lu Yiwei waved his hand and walked to the desk. He saw that the registration form was filled with sunflower seed shells. He gently opened it and saw that it was 3rd of January. This was last week, and only a few people had signed in. Then he looked at the documents that were casually thrown away. There was not even a single person to clean it up. He pulled out the sign-in sheet, folded it, and put it in his pocket. Just as he was about to go out, a middle-aged woman with messy clothes walked in. She stared at the two for a long time and said, "Who are you looking for?"
Xu Changyuan wanted to speak, but Lu Yiwei stopped him. "Where's your secretary?"
The woman felt that this person looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him before. Hearing his Mandarin, she thought that he was a foreigner. She said unhappily, "Do you think the secretary is someone you can casually meet? If you have something to say, just tell me."
"Who are you?"
The woman walked to the desk, picked up a document, and put it on her butt. She sat there proudly and said, "I'm the office director. You're here to collect accounts, right? Don't waste your energy. Come back next year. The township government is so poor that they can't even feed themselves."
Lu Yiwei looked at her carefully and remembered the office manager in Beihe Town. She was also a domineering woman, but at least she kept her office clean. This person was so sloppy that she didn't even bother to tidy herself up, let alone her office.
"Don't any of you have work?"
The woman said sarcastically. "What are you saying? Am I not a human?"
Lu Yiwei suppressed his anger and asked. "What about the rest?"
The woman replied impatiently. "I don't know. I don't care where they go. Who are you? Come in and ask all sorts of questions. Go and look for someone else. I don't have time to talk to you. "The woman grabbed a handful of melon seeds and started munching on them.
Lu Yiwei regretted not bringing the reporters over. If not, he could have recorded this scene and exposed it to the public. He wanted to let everyone know what kind of trash they had raised.
Lu Yiwei did not say anything and left the office. "Call Secretary Qiu and ask the Commission for Discipline Inspection to come over immediately."
Xu Changyuan did not dare to delay and quickly went out to make the call.
Lu Yiwei came to the second floor, and there was still no one in the corridor. After a while, a man finally appeared. He was a man with messy hair and a dirty face. He was wearing a pair of red long johns as he walked out of a room. He sucked in a mouthful of thick phlegm and casually spat it on the ground before he walked over lazily. When he passed by, he stared at Lu Yiwei in astonishment for a long time before he leisurely walked past him. When he was about to enter the washroom, a woman came out. The man laughed. "How much did you earn last night?"
The woman replied unhappily. "I lost all my salary this month. You and Secretary Li earned it all. Spit it out, or I won't even be able to celebrate the new year."
The man raised his voice. "F * * k, why don't you say that you earned it all this week? Why are you so anxious after losing for one night? Let's do it again tonight."
The woman lowered her head and smiled. She flipped her hair and said, "Not tonight. My man is back."
The man did not care that there were people around and slapped the woman's butt. "Aren't I better than your man? Haha."
The woman giggled. Only then did she notice Lu Yiwei. Her smile immediately froze on her face and became messy. She pushed him and scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about? Can't you see someone? Who is this?"
"I don't know. He's already standing there. I think he wants his salary. Ignore him. Alright, I'm going to the washroom. "
He turned around and entered the washroom. The woman walked over with a basin in her hands. She glanced at Lu Yiwei nervously before entering the dormitory with a red face.
Lu Yiwei had lived in a small town before and knew that life there was boring. Most of the time, other than playing cards and drinking, the most interesting thing there was to talk about was the matter between men and women. He did not know the woman's position, but those who could live on the second floor were the so-called leaders. Their looks were so-so, and it was disappointing for them to be so lazy at such a young age.
Xu Changyuan ran up, panting. "Secretary Lu, I called. Secretary Qiu happened to be heading in this direction. He's in Longquan Town now. He'll be there soon."
"Oh."
Lu Yiwei came to the door of the secretary's office and tried to push it. The door was open, so he walked in. The office was decorated in a grand manner. There were calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall. On the side of the door hung the words "Instant Success", signed by none other than Li Gang.
Judging from the composition and strokes, this person had a certain level of skill and attainment in calligraphy. There were many books on calligraphy on the bookshelf behind the desk. On the desk were books such as "Book of Changes", "Abyssal Ocean Ziping", "Three Lives Connection", and "Divine Peak General Examination". The manuscripts were densely filled with characters. It could be seen that this person was also an elegant person.
Lu Yiwei randomly picked up a book and flipped through it. He turned to Xu Changyuan and asked, "Do you know what this book is?"
