Almost all the streets and alleys were discussing the morning's meeting. Although some ordinary people didn't know what the "Three Lectures" was, the new Secretary left a deep impression on them. He was young, handsome, masculine, and eloquent. He spoke Mandarin well, and it was very comfortable to listen to him speak.
Lu Yiwei came out of the meeting and went straight to the dormitory canteen. Jiang Zhentao and Xu Changyuan followed behind him. Ma Xiaochen, the Director of the Government Affairs Bureau, instructed the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous lunch.
Lu Yiwei was thirsty after not drinking water in the morning. He opened the thermos flask and gulped it down. Xu Changyuan quickly filled it up. Lu Yiwei lit up a cigarette and thought about his conversation with Liu Zhankui before the meeting. He regretted going against Liu Zhankui. It was not the time to fall out, so why did he push Liu Zhankui to the opposite side?
Jiang Zhentao praised excitedly. "Secretary Lu, your speech this morning was wonderful. It was perfect and flawless. All the participants were listening attentively. I dare not say anything else, but your speech was the most wonderful and comfortable I have ever heard."
Xu Changyuan also agreed. "Chief Jiang is right. The response was excellent. After you walked out of the meeting, everyone spoke highly of you. "
Lu Yiwei was not complacent. He said expressionlessly. "It doesn't matter if my speech is good or bad. The key is how they implement it. If they turn a deaf ear to it, it's useless no matter how good it is. "
Jiang Zhentao nodded. "The Leading Group Office will be set up this afternoon to supervise the villages and towns to hold the" Three Lectures "meeting as soon as possible. At that time, the County party committee will take the initiative to supervise."
"Okay. Get Secretary Sun to the" Three Lectures "office for a meeting to clarify the tasks and responsibilities. Also, prepare and distribute the briefing every day. I want to read it. "
"Okay."
As there was still a meeting in the afternoon, Lu Yiwei ate some noodles and went back to his room to rest. Just when he lay on the bed, Niu Fuyong called.
"Hello, Brother Lu. Is it convenient?"
Lu Yiwei knew it was nothing good, so he sat up and said, "Tell me."
Niu Fuyong lowered his voice and said: "Brother Lu, I have heard about Secretary Guo's case. The case is being handled by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. According to internal sources, someone reported Secretary Guo for corruption, bribery, taking advantage of his position to work for others, keeping a mistress, moral corruption, and so on. The case had been under investigation for nearly a year, and they had all the evidence. This matter was reported to Secretary Zhang of the Provincial Party Committee, and he personally decided to open a case for investigation. "
Hearing this, Lu Yiwei's heart fell to the bottom. It seemed like his guess was not too far off. After a long time, he asked, "Is the news reliable?"
"Absolutely reliable. Last night, I was having dinner with a big leader in the province. Moreover, this morning, his secretary was also arrested and all his assets were frozen. In addition, at around 10 o 'clock this morning, we went to search his house secretly. We don't know the details yet. "
"So serious?"
"That's right. I don't think Xijiang Province has ever done this to a department level leader. This time, they must be serious."
Lu Yiwei felt a tightness in his chest, and he was so nervous that he could not control himself. At this point, he could not care about Guo Jinzhu anymore. He was more concerned about whether he was involved. But from the meeting with the Commission for Discipline Inspection yesterday, it must be involved. Otherwise, they would not have come all the way to Long 'an.
Seeing that Lu Yiwei did not speak, Niu Fuyong guessed what was on his mind. "Brother Lu, are you afraid that you will be involved?"
Lu Yiwei pretended to be relaxed and said. "I don't have any dealings with Secretary Guo. What's there to be afraid of?"
Niu Fuyong still remembered the time when he rescued him. "Didn't you give him money a few years ago?"
"… …"
"Brother Lu, don't worry. If you are involved in this case, I will do my best to protect you at all costs. As for the others, I don't care. "
Hearing this, Lu Yiwei panicked. It seemed that his speculation was not far from what he had guessed. He calmed himself down and said, "Fuyong, I know you are doing well in the upper echelons. You have eyes and ears everywhere, and your connections are everywhere. I beg you to use your connections to protect Secretary Guo. If you can't protect him, you must protect Zhang Zhiyuan. Needless to say, you know the relationship between me and Secretary Zhang. If it weren't for him, you wouldn't be where you are today. Do you understand? "
Niu Fuyong hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother Lu, I know what you are thinking, but the situation now is not optimistic. I have thought of protecting Secretary Guo. After all, we are from the same place, and he has saved my life. But he has offended someone who he should not have offended. Someone is trying to set him up. If I don't get rid of him, it will be difficult to convince the public. Do you understand? As for Secretary Zhang, I don't know what's going on, and I can only wait and see. If I greet him too early, won't I be giving myself away? "
Lu Yiwei closed his eyes and said, "Alright. Pay close attention to this matter and inform me immediately if there's any news. Also, you have to restrain yourself and not be so arrogant. "
"Got it. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up first." Niu Fuyong replied impatiently.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Yiwei couldn't sleep. He stood up and looked at the azure sky and the misty sunlight. He was full of uncertainty about the future. If he was an ordinary person, he wouldn't mind being punished or even fired. But now that he had become a public figure, his every move was being watched by countless eyes. Once Guo Jinzhu made a breakthrough, it would be like pulling out the carrot and bringing out the mud.
Now, it all depended on Guo Jinzhu's attitude. If Guo Jinzhu took all the responsibility, there might be a chance to turn things around. But if he revealed everything, no one would be able to escape, including himself.
Infinite fear lingered in front of him. For him, he had gone through too many trials and tribulations. It seemed that his journey had never been smooth. The most stable time was the three years in Jiangdong City.
He wanted to call Zhang Zhiyuan, but he was afraid that the other party's phone was being monitored. Where was he now and what was he doing? Hiding in a small city was like entering an enclosed space, and no news from the outside could get in.
He thought of Bai Zongfeng. Maybe he could give him some answers and pointers.
Holding the phone, he pondered for a while before mustering up the courage to make the call.
After four rings, a familiar voice came from the receiver. Judging from the voice, he seemed to be sleeping. Lu Yiwei said respectfully, "Secretary Bai, did I disturb your rest?"
Bai Zongfeng sat up and said in a calm voice, "It's nothing. I just laid down. What's up?"
"Nothing much, just wanted to ask about you."
