Once the leader had set the tone, the subordinates would have a direction to follow. Seeing that Ma Feifei was in high spirits, Lu Yiwei simply brought it up. "Mayor Ma, I have a presumptuous request. Can you change the county magistrate for me …"
Ma Feifei stared at him for a long time. "I don't like Liu Zhankui either. In fact, I hate him. I know you are afraid of everything in Long 'an. How about this? I'll discuss it with Secretary Shao. If it doesn't work, we might as well transfer him. If he is transferred, do you have a suitable candidate? "
Lu Yiwei shook his head. "I haven't been in Nanzhou for a long time. I don't know anyone except for a few. Anyone will do, as long as they are young and willing to work. "
Ma Feifei picked up her notebook and frowned. "Do you have a suitable candidate in Long 'an?"
Lu Yiwei suddenly thought of Sun Gensheng. "Yes, Sun Gensheng, the deputy secretary of the County party committee. He is the most suitable candidate to take over as the county magistrate."
"How old is he?"
"53 years old."
Ma Feifei was surprised. "Don't you want a young man? Are you sure he wants to be the county magistrate at such an age?"
Lu Yiwei thought for a moment and nodded.
Ma Feifei was hesitant in the face of Lu Yiwei's request. After all, she was only the mayor. She did not have the final say in personnel matters, but she had the power to make suggestions. Moreover, the county magistrate was his subordinate. Shao Zhongjie did not dare to easily reject him. The complexity of this matter was no less than anything else. The key was the placement of Liu Zhankui. It was not realistic to transfer him, so she could only promote him. No matter how difficult it was, she decided to make a move and make her voice heard in Nanzhou. "Alright, since you have decided, I will do my best. As for whether it will work or not, I dare not guarantee you. I will do my best. However, you only have one chance to choose. You must think about it carefully. "
Lu Yiwei had promised Sun Gensheng, so he naturally had to do it. Moreover, they had been working together for a while and had a tacit understanding. He said solemnly, "I have thought about it."
"Alright, I will remember it."
…
During the weekend, Lu Yiwei returned to the provincial capital with Guo Jianye, the director of the National People's Congress, Ye Huchen, and Xu Changyuan. With Zhang Zhiyuan's help, he invited Zheng Yinxiang, the director of the Provincial Highway Administration Bureau. Everything went smoothly, and the matter of repairing the road was basically settled. When it was over, he arranged for Xu Changyuan to secretly give Zheng Yinxiang 200,000 yuan. Although it was not a lot, it was a token of appreciation. The other party didn't reject it and accepted it gladly.
During this period of time, all the work seemed to be progressing smoothly. The construction of the road was settled, and the National Modern Agriculture Demonstration County was approved. These two major events were enough for Lu Yiwei to gain a foothold in Long An County, and it also gave him hope in this difficult situation.
After returning to Long'an County, Lu Yiwei received a call from Liu Zhankui. Liu Zhankui took the initiative to invite him to have dinner together, which surprised him. After much consideration, he decided to keep the appointment. It seemed that they haven't sat down and had a good chat.
The location was set at Fushan Villa. Wang Zhiquan looked around at the door early in the morning. When he saw Lu Yiwei's car driving in, he quickly stood at attention and tidied up his clothes. He walked forward quickly and squeezed a smile on his fat face. When the car stopped, he immediately opened the door and gently blocked the door with his left hand. He smiled and said: "Secretary Lu, you are here."
He was not surprised to see Wang Zhiquan. He had thought of him before coming. Lu Yiwei glanced at him, got out of the car and straightened his back: "Is Magistrate Liu here?"
"Yes, he is already waiting upstairs. I will take you up."
Wang Zhiquan took him to the private room on the second floor and saw Liu Zhankui sitting on the sofa, smoking and playing with his mobile phone. After seeing him, a rare smile appeared on his face. He said softly: "You are here. Have a seat."
They came to the center and sat down. Wang Zhiquan handed over a cigarette and lit it with both hands. He sat there obediently as an audience. Liu Zhankui took the initiative and said: "I heard that the road repair has been decided?"
Wang Zhiquan was present, and Lu Yiwei did not want to talk about business. He said vaguely: "It has been surveyed, but the specific implementation needs to be reviewed and approved by the higher-ups."
"Oh, this is a good thing. You are really capable."
No one knew whether Liu Zhankui said this in self-mockery or sarcasm. Lu Yiwei turned a deaf ear and sat there smoking silently. The three of them had their own thoughts and tried to figure each other out.
After the dishes were served, Liu Zhankui directly removed the wine cup and replaced it with a large glass. He poured wine and said: "It seems that this is our first time drinking wine. Let's be frank and drink with a large glass."
Lu Yiwei did not refuse. He picked up the glass and clinked it: "You are the protagonist tonight. You have the final say." After that, he drank a big mouthful of wine.
"Frank! I like frank people. " Liu Zhankui personally poured wine for him and said excitedly: "This is Xijiang Hong. People from other provinces may not be used to drinking it, but it is definitely a good wine. It is soft in the mouth, mellow and elegant. It stays in the mouth for a while, and then slowly swallows. It is soul-stirring and has an endless aftertaste. Haha. "
Wang Zhiquan quickly added: "This is an aged wine from my winery. You can't buy it in the market. I specially brought it out to serve the two of you tonight."
Lu Yiwei did not pay attention to him. He picked up the glass and turned to Liu Zhankui: "Let's move on to the second one?"
Liu Zhankui was impressed by Lu Yiwei's alcohol tolerance and took the initiative to drink. He smacked his lips and said: "Secretary Lu, let's not talk about our positions today. Let's talk about our relationship. In terms of age, I am 20 years older than you, and not much different from my son. He is fooling around outside, and you have become the secretary of the County party committee. There is no comparison. In terms of seniority, you should call me uncle. That's not too much. But let's not talk about this. Let's call each other brothers. "
Liu Zhankui's uncharacteristic behavior made Lu Yiwei unable to handle it. He smiled and said: "It's just a title. You can call me anything you want."
"Let's drink to our heart's content tonight."
After three rounds, Wang Zhiquan stood up with his glass in both hands and said: "Secretary Lu, I propose a toast to you. I should have treated you to dinner earlier, but the timing was not right. I wanted to treat you alone, but Mayor Liu said he would accompany you. I am very touched. I'm a boorish and uncultured man. If I've done something wrong or said something wrong, I hope you can forgive me. Don't lower yourself to my level. I'll drink this cup of wine as an apology. "
Lu Yiwei still could not figure out what these two were up to. Their sudden flattery was definitely not a good thing. They did not say anything, and he did not ask. He just watched quietly. Wang Zhiquan took the initiative to drink three glasses and said: "Secretary Lu, Mayor Liu, you guys chat first. I have something to do and will be back soon."
