He was the only one left in the study. The cup of water on the table was steaming and rising. The cigarette between his fingers seemed to be burning with all its might, emitting a slight sizzling sound. A small moth was circling around the hanging table lamp happily. To it, this was perhaps the greatest pleasure.
Lu Yiwei got up and took off his coat. He went into the bathroom to take a shower and changed into loose pajamas before continuing to sit in front of the desk. He stared at the stack of documents that he had yet to read. He was exhausted and haggard.
He picked up his phone and opened the photo album. When he saw his son's past videos, a smile bloomed on his face. At this moment, he did not need to worry about work. He could fully enjoy the happiness and joy from his family.
After dialing his wife's number, Fan Chunfang tiptoed out of the bedroom and said, "Why aren't you asleep yet?"
Lu Yiwei placed his legs on the table and made the call in the most comfortable position. He mumbled, "Is our son asleep?"
"He slept long ago."
"Oh."
Fan Chunfang said with interest, "Yiwei, I realized that your son has artistic talent. I brought him to Children's Palace after school today. He saw his brother and sister dancing and he actually danced with them without any stage fright. He also has a good sense for music. Even the teachers say that he has potential. Why don't we let him learn dance? "
"It's best not. A boy should have the temperament of a boy. What's the point of learning dance? It's neither Yang nor Yin. If he likes it, let him learn a musical instrument. "
Fan Chunfang was unconvinced, "You are so old fashioned at such a young age. What's wrong with a boy learning dance? According to you, there are no boys learning dance. It'll be great if he succeeds. He will have a slender and soft body and walk with elegance. I think he should learn. "
For some reason, Lu Yiwei suddenly thought of Tong Huan. He still remembered what she said back then. Don't let your child learn dance. Although one should not generalize, the current environment is not conducive to a child's physical and mental health. He said, "Alright, it's just a suggestion. If he insists on learning, I won't stop him."
"Well, let him try first. After all, he is still young. Who knows, he might not like it after a while. Just treat it as a game. What about you? Will you be back soon? "
"Sigh! I want to go back, but I can't leave. There are a lot of things to do, and the two meetings are going to be held soon. Maybe after a while. "
Fan Chunfang said disappointedly, "If this goes on, your son won't remember what you look like."
"It's all for the family. He will understand me."
Fan Chunfang was already used to it and said, "By the way, yesterday I approved a plot of land for Old Pan. It's not much, just 30 acres. The location is not bad, right? Then I got him to go through the procedures and participate in the bidding."
Lu Yiwei asked worriedly, "It's not against the rules, is it?"
"How should I put it? It's definitely against the law, but it's still within the rules. Nowadays, there's no land that complies with the law. We can only turn a blind eye to it. If they followed the procedure strictly, they would not be able to move anything. Not long ago, a company called Dahua Group took over 2000 mu of land. Their appetite is not small. "
Lu Yiwei's heart skipped a beat as he listened. He reminded her, "Chunfang, your position is too sensitive. I suggest that you transfer. If you agree, I'll think of something."
"Are you afraid?"
"Yes. The higher-ups have spoken, and they don't care about the laws. If anything happens, you all will be the scapegoat. Furthermore, I am busy with work, and you are also busy. No one will take care of your son. Go to a free unit and focus on taking care of your son. "
Fan Chunfang thought for a long time and said, "Fine. I will listen to you."
"Which unit do you want to go to?"
"I want to go to Long An with you."
"Are you joking? I am still in dire straits here, and you will only be adding to my troubles. Alright. You don't need to worry about this. I will think of something. "
Before hanging up, Fan Chunfang said, "Yiwei, I want to discuss something with you. Yesterday, when I was having dinner with my parents, my dad said that he wants to buy an apartment in Beijing. Firstly, it's convenient to get medical treatment there. Secondly, we need to consider Lang Lang's future education. "
Lu Yiwei asked, "Isn't Lang Lang doing well in Jiang Dong Province?"
"I want him to receive a better education. I have thought about it. We still have some money on hand, and we can buy a small square meter apartment. That day, Fuyong also called and said that he bought a few buildings there. He wants to give us an apartment, but I didn't want it. "
Lu Yiwei is very sensitive to such matters. Especially Niu Fuyong. His things must not be touched. Thinking about the worst, Niu Fuyong is so arrogant now. If he offends a leader, he will end up badly. Even if he walks steadily, sooner or later his shoes will be wet. When the time comes, he will be dragged into the mess. He said cautiously, "Don't touch him, and don't ask for anything from him."
"Look at how nervous you are. I already said that I don't want it. Don't worry. I know what is more important. "
Lu Yiwei was relieved and said, "Fuyong is different from before. I am really worried that one day … Never mind. That day, Old Pan told me that he also wants to buy an apartment in Beijing. I will let him buy it. "
Fan Chunfang asked, "Aren't you worried about Old Pan?"
Lu Yiwei said, "Old Pan is different from Fu Yong. He's low-key and introverted. He's reliable and trustworthy. Our savings are all with him. Are you worried? "
Fan Chunfang said, "I am not worried. Tell me the truth. Do you have any shares in Dezhi Company?"
"No."
"Really?"
"Yes."
"Even the newly established Huancheng Real Estate Company does not have any shares?"
"You don't trust me?"
"No, I am just curious. It's best if you don't have any shares. The situation is getting more and more difficult to understand. Be careful not to let others get hold of us. "
Lu Yiwei said, "Don't worry about this. I know what to do. In the past, we operated the coal mine because the government was lax. Moreover, we did not expect it to reach this stage. It's better to be careful. "
"I understand. Why don't we buy it ourselves? We have enough money. My parents can still contribute a portion. "
Mentioning this, Lu Yiwei thought of something else. After thinking for a long time, he said, "Chunfang, tell me the truth. Dad … … he … …"
Fan Chunfang suddenly understood and raised her voice. "What nonsense are you talking about? Dad has always been honest. How is it possible? They are still living in the apartment assigned to them. They never live in the apartment we bought for them. The car is a Volvo we bought four years ago. That's not too much. "
"I was just asking casually. Look at how agitated you are. Alright, you should rest early. "
"Are you coming back this weekend? It's my dad's birthday. "
Lu Yiwei was silent for a moment. "I will try my best to rush back."
"Alright. You better come back. Recently, he has been in a bad mood. Last night, he quarreled with my mom. Sigh! "
Lu Yiwei got a headache when her family was mentioned. Fortunately, his family did not have so many messy matters. He comforted her. "Persuade your dad. He will get better."
