While they were chatting, Xu Changyuan came in. Seeing the two of them talking, he stood by the side without saying a word. When Ma Xiaochen saw this, she quickly got up and said, "Director Xu, you haven't eaten, right? Do you want to eat together?"
"No need, I'm not hungry."
Ma Xiaochen knew that the two of them wanted to talk, so she took the initiative to get up and leave. Xu Changyuan sat down and nodded slightly. Lu Yiwei did not respond. He picked up the bowl and ate quickly, wiped his mouth and went upstairs.
When he returned home, Xu Changyuan quickly made tea and brought it to him. He took out a Chunghwa cigarette and lit it for him. Lu Yiwei took off his coat and sat on the sofa, thinking hard. After a long time, he said, "What do you think they are talking about?"
Xu Changyuan rolled his eyes and whispered, "Secretary Lu, you don't have to care about what they are talking about. They get together every day to think about it. Many of County Magistrate Liu's ideas came from Chief Jiang and Wang Zhiquan. When you went to his house two days ago, County Magistrate Liu was already suspicious. This is a very friendly signal. "
Lu Yiwei had not been here for long. He still could not figure out the various people in Long 'an's officialdom, including Xu Changyuan in front of him. Although he was personally selected, some things could not be said easily without knowing his background. He was now the secretary of the County party committee. Every word he said had a certain amount of weight. Once it was spread, it would have a guiding effect. It could be said that he trusted no one now.
He had thought of bringing a few trusted aides to Long 'an, but after careful consideration, he gave up the idea. First, foreign monks might not be able to recite scriptures. Once the situation got out of control, it would arouse public anger, and it would be difficult to clean up. Secondly, his own future was uncertain. Who knew when he would be transferred out. If he was promoted, it would be fine. He could bring them along with him and fight in the next place. But if he was forced to leave, who would take care of their future? If he continued to stay in Long An City, he might become the target of revenge.
Therefore, he still had to make use of the local people and cultivate a group of his own direct subordinates to fight against the powerful forces. Even if he left in the future, these people could continue to fulfill their unfinished wishes and carry out his established decisions. These people dared to challenge Liu Zhankui, dared to challenge his authority, and his goal was achieved. However, he had yet to find such a person.
Guo Jianye and Zhang Jianan dared to stand out, but their influence was not strong enough to shake Liu Zhankui's position. A new force was needed to stand out and disrupt the power structure of Long'an. Recalling Ma Xiaochen's words, as well as Xu Changyuan before him, a thought flashed through his mind. He wanted to make use of this batch of students.
Xu Changyuan was very smart. He knew that Lu Yiwei still did not trust him. However, he took the initiative to approach and tentatively touch the bottom line. He could not be too shallow, nor could he be too deep. He could only dig forward bit by bit like mining.
Lu Yiwei understood what he meant. He intended to cut off Jiang Zhentao, and then Liu Zhankui would lose his brain trust. This coincided with his idea, but it required skill to implement it. He said, "What is the relationship between Liu Zhankui and Jiang Zhentao?"
Xu Changyuan said, "Director Jiang was a rare university student at that time. He was recommended to Xijiang Agricultural University as a worker and farmer student. After graduation, he worked in the Agriculture Committee. Because of his outstanding work, he was promoted to deputy section chief, the deputy director of the Agricultural Machinery Bureau. He was at most 25 or 26 years old at that time. It was a sensation for him to be promoted to deputy section chief at such a young age. At that time, County Magistrate Liu was still running traffic in Tongyuan Town as a temporary worker. "
"I thought that Director Jiang would shine, but his career came to an abrupt end. He worked in the Agricultural Machinery Bureau for more than ten years. Until Secretary Wang Hengshui came to the Agricultural Machinery Bureau to investigate and found him, and then he was transferred to the County party committee office. At that time, County Magistrate Liu was already the mayor of Yongsheng Town, and he walked in front of him. Because he worked beside the leader, the two gradually got along, and their relationship became closer. "
"After Secretary Wang Hengshui left, he promoted County Magistrate Liu to be Yongsheng Town's Party Committee Secretary. Director Jiang also went to the township to be the Party Committee Secretary. Later, he was transferred to the Agriculture Committee to be the director, and then transferred to Chengguan Town to be the secretary. Finally, he returned to the County party committee office and entered the Standing Committee. He worked there for seven or eight years. Later on, County Magistrate Liu's progress became faster and faster. It took him less than five years to become the county magistrate from the deputy county magistrate. He was able to get the leader's appreciation because of Director Jiang's advice behind the scenes. He trusted him deeply. "
"Over the years, the relationship between the two of them has been maintained. They helped each other, but they also secretly competed with each other. It can be said that County Magistrate Liu was able to become the county magistrate because of Director Jiang's contributions. The few of them worked together to push down their strongest competitor, Director Guo of the National People's Congress, and he was naturally elected. Otherwise, the history of Long 'an might have been rewritten."
After Lu Yiwei heard this, he felt that there were battles everywhere, and they never stopped. The competition for power was always silent and turbulent. It seemed that the dust had settled, but in fact, the undercurrent was surging.
Lu Yiwei did not continue to ask. Xu Changyuan saw that it was almost time, so he stood up and said, "Secretary Lu, you've been busy the whole day. Rest early. I'll be leaving first."
"Okay, be careful on the way back."
After Xu Changyuan left, his body, which had been exhausted for the whole day, slowly relaxed. Ever since he came to Long 'an, he was like a tightly wound clock. He could only continue to move forward and did not dare to relax at all. It took a long time to adapt to his current role. The pressure from himself tortured him so much that he could not sleep. When being busy became a norm, he began to miss the leisure in the past. He slept until dawn and never had to worry about anything. But once he embarked on this path, he had to grit his teeth and persevere no matter how difficult it was.
After smoking three to four cigarettes on the sofa, he sat up and dragged his tired body to the bathroom to take a shower. When he returned to his bedroom, he felt uncomfortable all over, and his back felt like it was being pricked by needles. After tossing and turning for a long time, he simply got up and removed the mattress. He slept on the hard bed to feel more comfortable.
He switched off the lights and closed his eyes. Suddenly, his phone buzzed. When he saw that it was Niu Fuyong, he immediately sat up and answered the call.
"Hello, Brother Lu, are you asleep?"
"Just lying down. Speak."
Niu Fuyong sighed, "You should have heard that Secretary Guo's situation is not looking good."
Lu Yiwei pretended to be calm and said, "Let me ask you. Are you related to Secretary Guo?"
"No, absolutely not. If I am, it was in the past. I only visited him before the Lunar New Year. Other than that, there are no transactions between us. "
Lu Yiwei heaved a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. Think about it again. If there is, take measures to deal with it as soon as possible. Don't drag yourself into it."
