Lu Yiwei slammed the book on the table and angrily sat in front of the table. He lit a cigarette and picked up a work notebook next to him to read. The more he read, the angrier he got. He wondered what these people were doing every day.
At this moment, there was a burst of hurried footsteps in the corridor. A fat man ran in, panting. Seeing Lu Yiwei sweating profusely, he said timidly, "Secretary Lu, I didn't know you were coming …"
Lu Yiwei didn't look at him. He flicked his cigarette and said calmly, "What are you doing, Secretary Li?"
Li Gang was sweating profusely. He kept looking at Xu Changyuan for help. After thinking for a long time, he made up a seemingly flawless lie, "I just went to Baishui Village. Several farmers' greenhouses were crushed by the heavy snow."
"Oh, how is it?"
"Not bad. I'm organizing people to rescue them to minimize the loss of the people."
Lu Yiwei turned around and looked at him. A cold glare shot at him. Li Gang panicked and hurriedly avoided eye contact. He stood there like a student who had made a mistake. His legs were tightly closed together, and his hands had nowhere to put them.
"Is it very hot?"
Li Gang wiped his sweat with his sleeve and squeezed out an ugly smile, but didn't respond.
Seeing him like this, Lu Yiwei was furious. He suppressed his anger and said, "Did you get the call from the County party committee?"
Li Gang looked at Xu Changyuan and nodded unnaturally. He argued, "I've already informed Mr. Xue."
"Pa!"
Lu Yiwei slammed the table. He didn't want to lose his temper, but he was extremely disappointed with Li Gang. He stood up and said, "Secretary Li, can you tell the difference between the County party committee and the government office?"
Li Gang was so scared that his legs went soft. He didn't dare to look up. He lowered his head and mumbled, "Yes."
Lu Yiwei said in a serious tone, "Since you can tell the difference, do you think the party committee or the government should implement the decision?"
"…"
Lu Yiwei continued, "Secretary Li, I didn't want to get angry, but I'm disappointed in your actions. Director Xu had informed all the units yesterday. He was afraid that they would not take it seriously, so he called again this morning. In the end, did you take it seriously? There was no one on the way here. Look at the Dragon Spring Town next to it. The difference between the two neighboring towns is so big. "
"Look at the township government. Not many people are at work. Look at the dirty desks. There are even poker cards on the table. How can the people who come to work see this? Also, Secretary Li's taste is very high. As a member of the Communist Party, you actually read some superstitious divination books. Where's your Party spirit and beliefs? Is this it? "
Li Gang stood there with his face flushed red. Sweat dripped from his forehead like a waterfall, dripping to the ground.
At this time, another man walked in quickly. Seeing this scene, he didn't dare to breathe loudly and obediently stood to the side.
Lu Yiwei squinted at him and asked, "Who are you?"
The man moved and said, "Secretary Lu, I am Xue Zhiqiang, the mayor of Red Flag Village."
Lu Yiwei walked to his side and looked at him. His clothes were messy, and his jacket collar was still tucked inside. His beard was unshaven, and his hair was not combed in time. The smell of smoke and alcohol was nauseating. His fingers were smoked gold. Li Gang picked up his hand and looked at it. There were thick calluses on his index finger, and the fingerprints on his thumb were gone. With such skills, he must have played mahjong for at least 20 years.
Lu Yiwei let go of his hand and returned to his desk. "Stayed up all night?"
Xue Zhiqiang scratched his head with dark circles under his eyes. "Secretary Lu, I have arranged for people to remove the snow. I promise it will be done by noon."
"I'm not asking you that. Where were you last night?"
Xue Zhiqiang looked at Li Gang and chose to remain silent.
Looking at the two, Lu Yiwei finally suppressed his anger and walked out of the door. The two hurriedly followed him downstairs.
At this time, a car drove into the courtyard. Qiu Yingxue and the staff got out of the car. She walked over and said, "Secretary Lu, I just came from Longquan Town."
Lu Yiwei did not say much. He handed her the registration form from his pocket and said, "Give me the results in three days." After that, he got into the car and drove away.
In the car, Lu Yiwei was so angry that he gritted his teeth. He drank a few mouthfuls of water to calm down. He said, "Changyuan, is there a lot of situations like this in Long An?"
Xu Changyuan did not dare to tell the truth. He said, "Maybe Red Flag Village is an exception."
"Oh."
Lu Yiwei did not say anything else. They were about to reach Longquan Town. He really did not want the town to be in such a situation. Otherwise, he would be completely disappointed. Not to mention how well they did their work, at the very least, they had to have a good attitude. He really did not know how Li Gang and Xue Zhiqiang got in.
After crossing a mountain and entering Longquan Mountain, there was no one on the road, but the road was clean. Even the road into the village was cleaned without any snow, which made him feel a little relieved. He thought that the first village was a matter of face, but he did not expect that the villages he passed were the same. Moreover, the appearance of the villages was neat and tidy, which was unexpected.
He stopped the car at the entrance of a village called Xiaohe Village. Lu Yiwei got out of the car and looked around. He met an old man who was strolling leisurely and took the initiative to ask, "Uncle, when did you clean the snow?"
The old man looked at him up and down and said, "The people from the town government come down every day to inspect. As long as it snows, they will clean the snow. This morning, they came out to clean the snow before dawn."
"Oh, who from the town government came down?"
"Mayor Huang, and Mayor Zhao."
"You know all of them?"
"Of course, Mayor Huang took care of us. I think I saw his car just now, but I don't know where he went now."
He could tell that the old man was rather familiar with Huang Xiaonian. He deliberately asked, "What do you think of Mayor Huang?"
The old man gave him a thumbs up and said, "I've never seen a mayor like him. He doesn't put on any airs at all. He's especially warm and easygoing when he sees us. Every time he goes to my house to eat, he takes off his shoes and sits on the bed, treating it like his own home. The food is good, but he doesn't mind. I'll give him two yuan worth of cigarettes, and he'll just take it. He's never picky. Last year, he even found a wife for my kid. He even presided over the wedding personally. What a good man! "
He did not expect Huang Xiaonian to have such a good reputation among the people. It was unexpected. He added, "Are you the one who thinks he's good? Are the other villagers like him?"
The old man stiffened his neck and said, "Of course. Go to Longquan Mountain and ask anyone. If anyone dares to say a word against him, I'll fight them to the death."
