After a simple lunch, Lu Yiwei did not rest and rushed to the city. He wanted to see Dong Xiaoning before he left.
He arrived at the Municipal Party Committee's courtyard at 2: 10 am. The courtyard was already full of cars. It seemed that everyone knew that the new mayor was coming today, and no one dared to take it lightly.
After getting out of the car, Lu Yiwei saw Liu Zhankui from afar. He was standing in the octagonal pavilion in the courtyard with a few people, laughing loudly. When their eyes met, Liu Zhankui's smile was still blooming, but the look in his eyes was extremely subtle.
Lu Yiwei smiled at him and strode into the building with a glass of water.
When he arrived at the sixth floor, the corridor was full of people, all the way to the stairs. At a glance, it was like a hospital registration, everyone had arrived in advance to say their goodbyes. Lu Yiwei did not want to go into the crowd, but it was still early, and there were few acquaintances in the city. He could not wait at the venue now. After hesitating for a moment, he went upstairs to the United Front Department and knocked on Wang Kaifeng's door. He did not expect the door to open.
When he saw Lu Yiwei, Wang Kaifeng blushed and smiled. "You're here for a meeting? Come in and have a seat. "
There was another person sitting in the room, and Lu Yiwei knew him. He was the Political Commissar of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, Gao Xiaolong. They had eaten together last time. He quickly stretched out his hand and said, "Political Commissar Gao, long time no see."
Gao Xiaolong was not surprised that people who came from the Public Security Bureau were arrogant. He gave people a condescending and self-righteous attitude. He shook hands with Gao Xiaolong and stood up. "Minister Wang, I'm going to see Secretary Shao. You guys talk first."
"Okay."
After Gao Xiaolong left, Wang Kaifeng took out a box of tea from the drawer and shook it. "Authentic Zhengshan tea, do you want to try it?"
Lu Yiwei said bluntly, "Then try it."
Wang Kaifeng pressed the phone on the desk, and after a while, a young man came in. He changed the tea and poured water under Wang Kaifeng's instructions.
Seeing Lu Yiwei staring at him, Wang Kaifeng gave him a look and said, "What do you think of this young man?"
Lu Yiwei nodded and said, "You're quite energetic. Did you take the entrance exam?"
"No, he's a university student, a village official. I'm on loan. There are many in your county, right? "
Lu Yiwei did not have the time to ask for the position of a university student village official. He did find a few good village officials in a few towns, but because their identities were not clear, they were not careers, and they were not civil servants, he did not know how to make use of these people. "I heard that they recruited 60 people last year, so there's about a hundred in total."
"Oh, there are indeed a few good people in this batch of village officials. The young man in front of me is very outstanding. He is hardworking and is very good at computers. He is more capable than those regular workers. If not for my identity, I would have been transferred back long ago. "
After chatting for a while, Wang Kaifeng changed the topic. "The new Mayor Ma is from Jiangdong City. You should be familiar with him, right?"
Lu Yiwei averted his gaze and said with a faint smile, "Not bad."
Wang Kaifeng carefully observed his every move and whispered, "How is this person's ability?"
Lu Yiwei did not know how to answer, so he nodded and said, "Not bad. He has a good reputation in Jiangdong City. Otherwise, how could he be the mayor? "
"That's true. She is the third female mayor in the history of Nanzhou. I don't know if it's a coincidence or a deliberate arrangement." Wang Kaifeng also did not know the intention of the higher-ups, so he was skeptical about Ma Feifei's arrival.
Lu Yiwei did not want to talk about others behind their backs, so he changed the topic. "Minister Wang, have you heard from Secretary Bai recently?"
"If you don't know, I don't know. But I heard that he is going back to the Ministry of Construction. Sigh! "
A sigh, filled with helplessness, regret, and injustice. It seemed that Bai Zongfeng's departure was indeed a secret. As for what it was, only insiders knew. Rumors were rumors after all, not trustworthy.
Seeing that it was almost time, Lu Yiwei got up and took out a 5000 yuan supermarket shopping card from his pocket and held it in his hand. Under normal circumstances, the person who received it would understand tacitly and hide it cleverly with a smile. Wang Kaifeng, on the other hand, seemed a little reluctant. He took the card and pushed it over with a serious face. "What are you doing?"
"Nothing much. It's almost the New Year. I should have visited in person, but the current situation doesn't allow it. This is a small token of my appreciation. Don't think it's too little."
"What are you doing? Put it away!"
Lu Yiwei forced himself to put it down and quickly closed the door.
It was the New Year again, and it was time to test the leadership of all levels. Nine out of ten leaders were probably worried. They were sent one by one, and no one was allowed to fall behind. They might not remember you even if you gave them to them, but they would definitely remember you if you didn't. Lu Yiwei hated it very much, but it was necessary to know the ways of the world. In the past, he had to visit them one by one. This year, he probably could not do it. He might not even be able to go home. Other than meeting some of the leaders in person, Hu Peng would do the rest for him.
At three o 'clock in the afternoon, the leadership meeting was held on time. The former mayor and the current mayor appeared at the same meeting at the same time. This had never happened before in Lu Yiwei's memory. But today, a historic moment had happened. The Deputy Minister of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee sat in the center, accompanied by Shao Zhongjie. The two mayors sat on the left and right. The eyes of the crowd were a little dazzling, and everyone was secretly comparing which of the two beauties was more beautiful. Obviously, Ma Feifei was better. After all, she was an actress. She had a good figure and was charming and attractive. Dong Xiaoning, on the other hand, seemed to be from an administrative background. Her eyes were sharp and her gaze was like a torch.
Dong Xiaoning made a farewell speech. It was very emotional and very moving. She won bursts of applause, and many female comrades wiped away their tears. When she finished, she bowed deeply to the people below the stage and refused to get up for a long time. When she raised her head, her eyes were filled with crystal clear tears. It was obvious how reluctant she was to leave Nanzhou.
Seeing this scene, Lu Yiwei couldn't help but recall when he left Black Mountain County all those years ago. The local people held up banners to send him off. When he saw those simple faces, he couldn't help but cry. Dong Xiaoning's tears were also filled with deep affection. After all, this was the station of her life. Thinking back on it, there were dreams, emotions, and laughter.
Dong Xiaoning wiped away her tears, strode in front of Ma Feifei, and extended her hand. Ma Feifei immediately stood up and shook her hand, then gave her a big hug. The flashes crackled, recording the wonderful moment that was downloaded into the history books.
Dong Xiaoning did not return to her seat. Instead, she waved to the audience, lowered her head, and sadly walked off the stage. The unending applause made her tears fly. She entered the lounge, held her head, and burst into tears. A woman's fragility only needed one applause.
Perhaps she had not made much contribution to Nanzhou, but at least she had smoothly handed over the baton. In the future, as she said in her speech, Nanzhou would ride the mighty east wind to take a new step.
Goodbye.
