It was getting late and the snow was getting heavier. After Lu Yiwei left, he was worried about Tong Huan and the rest. He made a call and was told that they were still on the way. He reminded them to be safe and to report to them when they arrived.
When he went downstairs, there were not many people in the County party committee compound. Perhaps because of the snow, they had all returned home. However, the Literary Union was still brightly lit. Lu Yiwei did not disturb Wang Wenchao during this period. He did not know what he was busy with. He wanted to go in and take a look, but he had a lot of things on his mind, so he gave up.
The car arrived at Guanbei Village and stopped at a three-storey courtyard. Lu Yiwei got off the car and looked around. It was much more luxurious than Jiang Zhentao's house. He had been a county magistrate before, so he did not want to live in a shabby house. Moreover, his children were doing well, so living in such a house was worthy of his status.
He pushed the door open and entered. An old woman lifted the curtain and looked around. She said warmly, "Oh, it's Secretary Lu. Come in."
Gong Zhiru stood up and walked quickly to the door. He shook hands and said excitedly, "I didn't believe Changyuan when he said you were coming. Turns out he didn't lie to me. Haha."
Lu Yiwei smiled, "I should have come to see you long ago, but I did not have the time. I just happened to have some time today, so I came to have a meal with you."
Gong Zhiru laughed and pulled Lu Yiwei into the room. He sat on the sofa and did not let go. He looked at Lu Yiwei carefully and nodded, "I wanted to have a good chat with you during the Winter Solstice, but I saw that you were busy, so I did not disturb you. You must have a good chat tonight. Look, I have brought out the good wine my son brought back. You can only leave after drinking. "
Lu Yiwei said straightforwardly, "Sure, no problem."
Gong Zhiru was in his sixties. He had a head full of white hair and was in good spirits. He looked much better than those retired leaders. At the end of the day, it was a matter of mentality. Some people would feel empty after losing power, and it would take a long time to get used to it. He also had to face a lot of troubles. His former subordinates used to be polite to him and would visit him every New Year. But after retiring, he could not help but sigh at the fickleness of the world. He was quite happy that the new Party Secretary paid him a visit. At least the Party Secretary had him in his heart.
Gong Zhiru looked at the things on the table and grumbled, "Why did you bring so many things? I am already satisfied that you came to see me."
"Who would come empty-handed? You are the hero of Long 'an and should be respected and learn from you. should."
Gong Zhiru quickly said, "Don't say. I am. Long An didn't show any signs of improvement in my hands. Even now, he is regretting it again and again. Old and Long's. Long 'Long' an, it, it, I, old, useless. Huan, I, I, you, I, I, I, I, I, I County.
Lu Yiwei had long since learned of his deeds like the back of his hand. "Don't be humble. As far as I know, the 222 Provincial Highway was built by you. Back then, the province did not have so much money. You organized the villages and towns to donate half a year's salary to Long 'an to the outside world. Also, you organized tens of thousands of people to plant trees on Mt. Wanlong. Ten years later, the mountain is still green. Isn't this your credit? "
Gong Zhiru was stunned and smiled. "It's all in the past. Let's not talk about it. It's getting late. Shall we have dinner? "
"Sure. I will not stand on ceremony."
They chatted at the dining table and did not talk about work. After dinner, Gong Zhiru invited him upstairs to the study room. The two sat on the sofa and lit a cigarette. Gong Zhiru asked, "You have been in Long 'an for almost a month. How do you feel?"
Lu Yiwei put on a humble attitude and said, "It's alright, I'm still slowly figuring it out."
Gong Zhiru crossed his legs and said, "Long 'an is a backward place. Ever since the reform, it has been ruled by the Hong Kong people. The Party Secretaries of the County Committee had changed many times, but they did not stay for long. Some stayed for a term at most, and some stayed for a few months at least. Some were promoted, and some chose to leave because they could not stay any longer. To this day, this curse could not be broken. This indirectly showed that Long An City was too poor. It couldn't support people, and it was difficult to manage. I heard that you are here for a transition period, right? "
Lu Yiwei replied, "No one told me that I am here for a transition period. The Provincial Party Committee's Minister Zhao asked me to do a good job. I have never thought of leaving after a few days. Since I am here, I will make the best of it. I will do as much as I can for Long 'an. If it was a transition, I could completely ignore it and turn a blind eye to it. I am still young, and I need to be responsible for the organization and Long 'an. This is my attitude and determination. "
Gong Zhiru was satisfied with his answer. "The Provincial Party Committee's Minister Zhao and I are old acquaintances. When he was the Municipal Party Committee's Secretary in Nanzhou, we often chatted. Under his leadership, Nanzhou has undergone earth-shattering changes. It has suddenly jumped to third place in the province, second only to Eastern and River East. Although the current development model has its drawbacks, his contributions are undeniable. Minister Zhao has a purpose in sending you to Long 'an. He wants you to make some contributions to Long' an and change your appearance. "
Lu Yiwei said honestly, "Mayor Gong, I did not expect to come to Long 'an. You may know that I have announced that I will be coming to Guwei before I came to Long' an. Who knew that the situation would change, so I came here at the last minute. Even so, I am not discouraged. Everywhere I go is work. On the contrary, it is easier to achieve results here. "
Gong Zhiru narrowed his eyes. "I am glad that you can think this way. I can also see that you are someone who can do great things. What difficulties have you encountered? Why don't you tell me? "
Lu Yiwei was a little surprised. He did not expect his thoughts to be seen through. He pretended to say, "Nothing much. I just came to see you."
"Don't lie to me. Do you think I can't see through you?"
Gong Zhiru gave him a meaningful look. Lu Yiwei obediently surrendered. He took out a list of items from his pocket and handed it to him. "These are the major things we plan to do next year. Please take a look."
Gong Zhiru took it and picked up his reading glasses from the desk to read it seriously. As he read, he nodded. "Very good. Very good. You have good ideas. Have you won the title of National Modern Agriculture Demonstration County? "
"Not yet. I have been applying for it in the past two days. There should be no problem if there are no accidents."
"That's good. Long 'an's way out is agriculture. Everything else is out of the question. There are not many resources, inconvenient transportation, a lot of labor, and a lot of idle land. Developing agriculture is the right choice. I support you. What about this road? Has it been approved? "
"We are working hard. The Provincial Highway Administration has agreed."
