Although the city of Nanzhou started late, its speed of development was enough to make people dumbfounded. From last year's government work report, the city's tax revenue had exceeded the 10 billion mark, following closely behind the provincial capital, Jiangdong City, and ranked third in the province. Such an impressive achievement could not be bypassed from the abnormal development of the city. The prosperity of the entertainment industry and real estate industry was called "Little Hong Kong" and "Little Dongguan" by outsiders.
It was undeniable that the planning of Nanzhou City was quite beautiful and ahead of its time. Central Avenue could accommodate 12 cars at the same time. The buildings on both sides were of different shapes and sizes, and they were arranged in a row. The tall buildings were so tall that they pierced through the clouds. Especially when night fell, the lights were bright, and the traffic was heavy. It was as if one had walked into an international metropolis, and it made one forget to go home and feel relaxed and happy.
Although the city was beautiful, it was somewhat unpresentable. There were hotels and entertainment centers one after another, and there were few companies. While people sighed at the prosperity, they could not help but worry about this abnormal development model. Once the country launched a heavy blow, it would be a devastating blow. Just like real estate, no one knew when the economic bubble would burst.
At the end of Central Avenue, a majestic modern building came into view. The building was engraved with the words "Port Prince International Hotel". It was quite luxurious, and it would not be an exaggeration to put it in an international metropolis.
Lu Yiwei had been to many famous five-star hotels all over the country. At first, he was shocked, but after a few times, he felt that it was just so-so. Anyway, he was just staying, and he did not have such strict requirements in this regard.
Nan Chao said, "The Port Prince Hotel opened last month, and it is a five-star hotel. If you look at the cost and interior decoration, it should be the best so far. The cheapest one night is 1888 yuan, and the most expensive one is 30000 yuan. "
"Oh, what's the standard of consumption of 30,000 yuan?"
"I'm not too sure. It should be the presidential suite on the top floor. The whole floor is like that. It is said that there are all kinds of entertainment facilities, such as private restaurants, open-air swimming pools, and private gardens. It is quite luxurious."
"You've been in?"
Nan Chao hurriedly said, "I can't afford it. I heard it from others."
"Oh."
Seeing that Lu Yiwei did not respond, Nan Chao chose to remain silent. After arriving at the hotel, they were led into a magnificent hall by the doorman. The hall was more than ten meters tall, and there was a huge crystal chandelier hanging down from the ceiling, sparkling and translucent. The surrounding Roman pillars, the geometrical marble floor, and the huge landscape painting of the Great Wall — every detail exuded the brilliance of money. It was enough to stun people and make them sigh.
Under the guidance of the staff, Lu Yiwei came to the private room on the fourth floor. He sent a message to Wang Kaifeng and waited anxiously.
When it was almost 12: 30 pm, Wang Kaifeng and Jiao Haibo appeared together, accompanied by two unfamiliar people. Lu Yiwei took the initiative to shake hands with Wang Kaifeng. "Yiwei, let me introduce you. This is Minister Jiao of the Municipal Party Committee's Organization Department."
Jiao Haibo laughed and said, "There's no need for introductions. We've known each other for a long time."
Wang Kaifeng was a little surprised. Jiao Haibo explained, "Have you forgotten? I was the one who went to Yiwei."
"Oh, oh, oh, look at my memory. It's good that you know him. You have to take care of him in the future."
Jiao Haibo had a good impression of Lu Yiwei. He looked at him and nodded. "Of course, haha."
Wang Kaifeng turned to the middle-aged man next to him and said, "This is Deputy Mayor Guo Jianqun. He is in charge of agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, and water. We might have to deal with him often in the future."
Lu Yiwei didn't like to curry favor with people in power. He stood tall and straight in front of his superior. His eyes were firm. He stretched out his hand and smiled. "Mayor Guo, it's our first time meeting. I hope you can take care of me."
Guo Jianqun's eyes were clear. He extended his hand for a while and smiled. "I've seen you and heard of your deeds. You're good. Keep it up." After that, he shook his hand and patted Lu Yiwei's shoulder.
This friendly gesture made Lu Yiwei's restless heart relax a little. Another man took the initiative to extend his hand and laughed. "Secretary Lu, you're a celebrity in Xijiang Province. Haha."
The man was tall and well-built. Lu Yiwei's intuition told him that he was either a soldier or a judicial officer. As expected, Wang Kaifeng said, "This is Gao Xiaolong, Political Commissar of the Municipal Public Security Bureau."
Lu Yiwei had long wanted to get to know the leader of the Public Security Bureau. He was a little nervous in front of Gao Xiaolong, who had a kind face but hidden dagger in his eyes. He quickly said, "Please take a seat."
Wang Kaifeng sat in the center. He was a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee. Those who accompanied him for dinner today should have a good relationship with him. In other words, everyone here was his people. Lu Yiwei took out a cigarette and distributed it around the table. He asked, "Minister Wang, can we start the dinner?"
"Is there no one else?"
"Nope."
"Then let's start."
The dishes were served and the liquor was poured. Lu Yiwei picked up the glass and walked behind Wang Kaifeng. He held the glass with both hands and said, "Minister Wang, I'm very touched and honored that you could come to this banquet today. I'm not familiar with the people and the place here. I don't have many friends and colleagues. I still need your guidance and encouragement in the future to support the development of Long'an County. You drink one glass and I'll drink five. What do you think? "
Lu Yiwei's opening remarks stunned Wang Kaifeng. He had seen people who could drink, but he had never seen someone who worked so hard. He could see Lu Yiwei's sincerity and sincerity. He picked up the glass and said, "There's a meeting in the afternoon. Drink slowly. Just one glass. Cheers." He finished the glass in one gulp.
After a round, Wang Kaifeng said with a red face, "Do you know how I met Yiwei? The current Jiangdong Municipal Party Committee Secretary Secretary Bai is my old leader. He worked for the Provincial Department of Housing for many years and we had a good relationship. Even after he was transferred, we still keep in touch. Every time we eat, he talks to me the most about Lu Yiwei. He doesn't hide his praise at all. It's enough to show his excellence. On the day Yiwei arrived, Secretary Bai called me personally and asked me to take care of him. It's his good fortune to meet such a good leader. "
Jiao Haibo nodded and said, "Yiwei looks young, but the younger generation will surpass us in time. His comprehensive qualities in all aspects are very good. Otherwise, he wouldn't have become a provincial cadre. May I ask how many people in Nanzhou have the same honor as him? He should be at the same level as Secretary Shao and Mayor Dong. Haha."
In the face of such praise, Lu Yiwei did not know how many times he had heard it, but each time he heard it, he felt different. It was undeniable that every time he served a leader, he could leave a good reputation. It was not because he was capable, but because he had a sense of responsibility. As long as it was a task given by the leader, he would treat it as his own and carry it out to the letter. This was the fundamental reason why he won the trust of the leader.
