It was already dark when they arrived at the provincial capital. They were used to the peace and quiet of a small county, so they were not used to the hustle and bustle of a big city. To get to the East Lake International Hotel, they had to pass by Xijiang Avenue. Although it was night time, they could still see the familiar street view. The demolition work on both sides of the road had been carried out on a large scale. The canning factory, the bearing factory, and the automobile factory had been razed to the ground. Dozens of tower cranes were working overnight, and the transport vehicles going in and out were spectacular. A project personally registered by the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee was extraordinary.
It was said that this place would be developed into an international financial and commercial center.
Lu Yiwei was very supportive of the Provincial Government's decision to build a city. After all, the development of a city was inevitable, and it was also an important symbol to raise the international reputation of the city. However, such a barbaric demolition method would cause endless troubles in the future.
When he arrived at Long 'an County, someone told him about renovating the old city. He had thought about it, but with the financial resources of Long' an, it was not the right time to do so. In addition, he didn't want to destroy the well-preserved county. He should protect it.
The East Lake International Hotel was brightly lit and bustling with traffic. On it hung the words "Warm Congratulations on the Successful Opening of the Third Session of the Twelfth People's Congress of Xijiang Province". Not far from here was the Provincial People's Great Hall, where the two sessions were held every year. The hotel was where the committee members stayed. Those who could participate in this conference were all elites from all walks of life in the province. It was a gathering of heroes to discuss swords on Mount Hua.
Lu Yiwei was a representative of Jiangdong City, but he was not qualified to enter the provincial circle. On the contrary, Niu Fuyong, who was illiterate, was actually a member of the Provincial People's Political Consultative Conference. He used money to build a political connection. Fame and fortune were an inseparable whole. Those who were active in the political arena were either rich or respectable.
It was Lu Yiwei who guided Niu Fuyong on this path. At first, he was dismissive, saying what could he do if he joined? Could he make a living? No matter what he said, it wouldn't work. After explaining it to him in detail, he was basically enlightened. This was a political life. Even if he made a mistake in the future, he would have a shield. The identity of a provincial CPPCC member was not just for show. In addition, he could also come into contact with more important people. He could not be complacent in his own small circle.
He didn't think much of it during the first meeting, but during the second meeting, he was full of arrogance. He was generous and forthright, so he got to know many big shots. Last year, he said that he would try to become a member of the CPPCC next year. Unsurprisingly, he also lived here.
Usually, people could come and go as they pleased, but it was no longer the case these two days. There were armed police standing guard, and those without work permits were not allowed to enter. Fortunately, Shao Zhongjie's secretary, Lu Wenzhe, was waiting at the door and brought him to the 22nd floor.
Unfortunately, Shao Zhongjie was holding a group discussion meeting, so he had to wait patiently in the hallway.
At this moment, the door to the room next door opened, and a familiar figure walked out. They looked at each other and smiled. Lu Yiwei quickly stepped forward and extended his hand. "Mayor Bao, hello, long time no see."
The person in front of him was the former Secretary General of the Jiangdong Municipal Party Committee, Bao Shuming, the current Mayor of Xi Zhou City. His promotion was entirely due to the former secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Bai Zongfeng. What he meant was that Bai Zongfeng had done something for him and Bao Shuming before he left, but the secretary, Yan Jie, had not been properly arranged.
Lu Yiwei and Bao Shuming were the best partners. Although there was friction between the two, their relationship was quite harmonious. At the very least, they had never fought. In addition, as Bai Zongfeng's' disciple ', they naturally had to be especially close. However, this person was a classic smiling tiger. He had to be careful when he did things in his heart.
Bao Shuming maintained his signature smile, shook hands, and said in surprise, "You're here for the meeting too?"
"Oh, no, I'm here to recruit someone. As you know, I'm not qualified to participate in this kind of activity. "
"Oh, in Long … what county?"
"Long 'an County."
"Yes, yes, yes. I've been wanting to visit you for a long time, but I haven't had the time. When I'm free, I'll go visit."
Lu Yiwei quickly said, "I should be the one apologizing to you. You've been gone for so long, but you haven't visited me yet. You won't blame me, right?"
"Haha, we're all on the same side. There's no need to be so polite."
Bao Shuming did not continue the conversation and said, "I still have something to do, so I'll leave first. Let's talk again if there's a chance."
After saying goodbye, Lu Wenzhe came forward and asked, "This is?"
"My old leader is now the Mayor of Xi Zhou City."
Lu Wenzhe said enviously, "Secretary Lu, we both have the same surname, and we both used to be secretaries. My network is not as wide as yours, so you'll have to give me more pointers in the future."
Lu Yiwei smiled faintly and said, "It's not pointers, it's just learning from each other. I'm just a few steps ahead of you. In the future, your future will definitely be broader than mine."
Lu Wenzhe quickly waved his hand and said, "I dare not compare myself to you, there's no comparison at all. Your experience is so rich and wonderful, I can only admire you. Now you're already the Secretary of the County party committee, and you'll probably reach the department level when you're around 40 years old. I won't be able to catch up even if I run. "
After getting used to flattery, one would become immune to it after a long time. Lu Yiwei did not like people to talk about his past. After all, it was all in the past, and it was useless to bring it up again. He changed the topic and said, "Why is Secretary Shao looking for me?"
"I really don't know. He only told me that he wanted to contact you, but I think it has something to do with what he wrote. "
On the way here, Lu Yiwei had already guessed it, but he could not be sure. He asked curiously, "What did he write?"
Lu Wenzhe did not know how to control his emotions, and he showed his emotions on his face. After all, he was Shao Zhongjie's secretary, and if he did not use him, he would not be happy to use someone else. He said, "The article you wrote for Secretary Shao might have a good effect, and Southern Daily wants to do an interview with him. I guess it should be about this."
"Oh."
As he said that, the elevator door opened. Three or four people walked out, all dressed in suits and leather shoes, with attendance certificates on their chests, and documents in their hands. They were chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere was harmonious. Shao Zhongjie and Su Qiming were among them.
Both of them saw Lu Yiwei, and Su Qiming raised his eyebrows and said from afar, "Yiwei, what are you doing here?"
Lu Yiwei looked at Shao Zhongjie and responded with a smile.
Su Qiming walked forward and stopped. He turned back and said to Shao Zhongjie, "Old Shao, we are comrades and good friends. Yiwei is now your subordinate, so you must take good care of him. He is a talent."
Shao Zhongjie squinted his eyes and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I called him over."
"Yes! Yiwei's specialty is writing, and he is very capable. He should be put in an important position. I was thinking of transferring him to our Northern State and entrusting him with important tasks. "
Shao Zhongjie laughed and pointed at him. "You can't steal my people. Yiwei was sent by the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department."
