Lu Yiwei immediately shut his mouth. He knew he had said too much. Any leader would not like others to criticize their work. If you were right, it would show that your leadership level was not good enough. Moreover, this was a special industry like the Public Security Bureau. Every decision was made after careful consideration. Once the arrow was fired, there was no turning back.
Xiao Dingyuan changed the topic. "Have you been in contact with Secretary Guo of the Municipal Party Committee recently?"
"Ah?" Lu Yiwei was stunned. "Secretary Guo? Which Secretary Guo?"
"Other than Guo Jinzhu, who else has the surname Guo in the Municipal Party Committee?"
"Oh! You are talking about the Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Guo Jinzhu. How can I be in contact with him? "Lu Yiwei came to a sudden realization.
"Keep pretending! Keep pretending!" Xiao Dingyuan pointed at Lu Yiwei and said in disbelief, "Brother Lu, what is our relationship? Why are you still hiding it from me?"
Lu Yiwei said helplessly, "Chief Xiao, I really don't know Secretary Guo. If I knew him, would I still be in Beihe Town for five years?"
"Oh." Xiao Dingyuan said thoughtfully, "That's not right! You definitely know Secretary Guo. When Niu Fuyong was in trouble, Secretary Guo called Secretary Liu directly. The news spread so fast. There must be someone behind it. When Secretary Liu answered the phone, I was beside him. At that time, I was sure that the person behind it was you. "
He did not expect Xiao Dingyuan to be so meticulous. Lu Yiwei refused to admit it. "Chief Xiao, your inference is reasonable, but your judgment is wrong. I have a good relationship with Fuyong, but at this critical moment, I really can't help."
"Oh." Xiao Dingyuan replied with doubts. However, Lu Yiwei's reason was not tenable. "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Everyone says that Brother Lu is good at chess, and it's still early for dinner. Why don't we play a few rounds?"
"How would a lousy chess player like me dare to show off in front of you? No, no!" Lu Yiwei declined.
Xiao Dingyuan ignored Lu Yiwei and took out a chess set from the cabinet behind him. He pushed away the things on his desk and quickly arranged them. "Please, Brother Lu."
"In that case, I'll do as you say." Lu Yiwei stood up, walked to his desk, and sat down. Then, they began their duel.
While playing chess, Lu Yiwei did not forget the purpose of today's visit. He said, "Chief Xiao, I have a small matter to discuss with you today."
"Oh?" Xiao Dingyuan pushed the pawn across the river boundary and mounted the horse's leg, "Tell me about it."
Lu Yiwei found it difficult to speak. He chuckled at Xiao Dingyuan and said, "Forget it, forget it."
"Say it!" Xiao Dingyuan pushed the chess to the side and said, "If there's anything else that's hard to say, just say it."
Lu Yiwei summoned up his courage and said, "Isn't there a Chuangwei headquarters set up? Chairman Duan of the CPPCC asked me to be responsible for the logistics work, but Chairman Duan didn't give me a penny and asked me to find a way myself. I thought about it and wanted to come here to ask for some help."
"What is this? Nanyang is such a big county, and you can't even come up with this little money? Besides, the County party committee and the government have set the Chuangwei work as the central work for next year. With such great effort, you actually came forward to do this kind of thing? "Xiao Dingyuan didn't quite believe Lu Yiwei.
Lu Yiwei explained, "The county didn't say that it wouldn't give money. Secretary Liu said that the county's finance was frozen before the New Year, and it will only be allocated after the New Year."
"Bullsh * t!" Xiao Dingyuan threw the chess and said, "This is clearly an excuse. I don't understand. Can't such a huge project be allocated by the finance first?"
Lu Yiwei continued to smile obsequiously and said, "I think so too. There's nothing we can do. Since Chairman Duan asked me to do this, he must have his own difficulties. Let's talk about it after we get through the current difficulties. "
Through Lu Yiwei's words, Xiao Dingyuan could read two intriguing meanings. First, Liu Kecheng obviously didn't attach importance to this work. If he did, such a situation would never happen. For example, in order to welcome the senior officials of the province in the past, the reception fee alone cost millions. Didn't the county still pay for it? Second, Liu Kecheng is purposely giving Zhang Zhiyuan a hard time. He wants to see how Zhang Zhiyuan will resolve this predicament.
Xiao Dingyuan thought for a while and decided to help Lu Yiwei. "I still have some money in the bureau's account, but I can't give it to you directly. What do you need? I will buy something and send it to you."
This is not a bad idea. Lu Yiwei said, "Thank you, Chief Xiao. I will give you a list tomorrow. What do you think?"
"No problem. Just get someone to send it over." Xiao Dingyuan said.
Lu Yiwei smiled bitterly. "I am the deputy director of the office in name, but I am a commander without an army. Let me send it to you personally."
"No need! I will get Gu Tong to get it tomorrow. "
Lu Yiwei no longer refused and said, "Alright then, I'll say it again. Thank you."
"You're welcome!"
The sky turned dark. If it were not for the phone vibrating, the two of them would have continued to fight. The call was from Ma Zhiming. Lu Yiwei picked it up in front of Xiao Dingyuan.
Ma Zhiming did not beat around the bush. "Come to the Damsel Restaurant at seven. I will be waiting for you." He hung up the phone.
Lu Yiwei raised the phone and said to Xiao Dingyuan, "Chief Xiao, I am so sorry. My sister just came back today. There is a family dinner tonight."
"Oh." Xiao Dingyuan was slightly disappointed. "Since it is a family dinner, I will not force you. Let's get together another day."
Lu Yiwei did not intend to have dinner with Ma Zhiming. But on second thought, he will have to face Ma Zhiming sooner or later. Moreover, he is not the one in the wrong. He wants to listen to Ma Zhiming's explanation.
When he arrived at the Damsel Restaurant, the lady boss was already waiting at the door. She smiled and said, "Director Lu is here. Please come in. Chief Ma is waiting for you upstairs."
"Director Lu?" Lu Yiwei was puzzled by the way the lady boss addressed him.
The lady boss smiled and said, "Aren't you transferred to the Chuangwei Command Center? What else can I call you if not Director Lu?"
Lu Yiwei had not changed his role yet. He came back to his senses and said, "You are really smart. You know every movement in the county."
The lady boss smiled and said, "If I don't care about politics, can I still open this restaurant?"
Lu Yiwei smiled and went upstairs with his hands behind his back.
The private room was already in a heated discussion. When everyone saw Lu Yiwei arrived, they all stood up to greet him. Zhao Dongsheng, the Deputy Secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, smiled and said, "Brother Lu, congratulations. You have a second spring in your career. Today's dinner must be on you."
"That's right!" Li Jianwei, the Deputy Director of the Government Office, said, "According to the past practice, after this kind of large-scale event, a group of people will be arranged. Brother Lu has quietly gotten close to County Zhang. I think after the event is over, we should at least give him a director level leader. Moreover, he should be the head of a department with real power."
Ma Zhiming was not his usual self. He just sat there and smiled.
After everyone sat down, Zhao Dongsheng asked impatiently, "Brother Lu, tell me, how did you get close to County Zhang? You are really fast. "
Lu Yiwei did not know how to answer and said honestly, "I don't have any connections. County Zhang wanted to use me, so I came."
"Tsk tsk! Why don't I believe you? " Zhao Dongsheng said. "The public is saying that you have found Mayor Su's daughter as your wife. I heard that Mayor Su and County Zhang have a close relationship. Is this true?"
Lu Yiwei smiled bitterly and said, "It's said that you disciplinary officers are better at handling cases than public security officers. Sure enough, when people handle cases, they need factual evidence, but you, old man, are just making groundless accusations."
"What do you mean by groundless accusations? Are you the one who was having a romantic moment at the train station? Is that bold and unrestrained girl Mayor Su's daughter? "Zhao Dongsheng asked.
Lu Yiwei took off his spectacles and rubbed his eyes. "You can say so."
"What do you mean by you can say so? Your love affairs had become the talk of the town. Brother, we only found out about it last. You are really good at hiding it. " Zhao Dongsheng chattered. Ma Zhiming, who was beside him, played with the water glass in his hand, hiding his thoughts and keeping silent.
