The next day, before dawn, the residents living in the county had gathered together to discuss last night's operation. Soon, the news spread throughout Long'an County and even to the provincial capital. Most people expressed their support for this matter and praised Lu Yiwei for doing a great job. It was time to clean up the dirty county. At the same time, many people were worried about him. Everyone knew who this action was aimed at. On the surface, it was to investigate and deal with crimes, but in fact, it was aimed at Wang Zhiquan and Liu Zhankui.
Last night's operation had carried out a major inspection of the entertainment venues on Xinhua Road. 12 hotels and entertainment venues were directly closed down and 26 suspects were arrested.
Ma Feifei was very happy when she heard about this achievement. She personally called Lu Yiwei: Yiwei, you have made a great contribution. You have made a good start for the city's anti-prostitution campaign. Next time, we will hold a meeting to commend you.
After hearing this, Lu Yiwei was not happy. It was not that he was afraid of pressure from all sides. The main thing was that he did not catch the person he wanted to catch.
At the same time that he won praise, a storm also came.
That morning, he received a call from Lu Wenzhe. Shao Zhongjie, the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, asked him to come to the office immediately.
No matter what, there were pros and cons. Before doing this, he was fully prepared to be besieged from all sides at any time.
He did it openly and in line with morality. Even if the secretary of the Provincial Party Committee came, he would not dare to say that there was anything wrong with it. But politics could not be measured by a single incident. If you offended one party, others would always find ways to suppress you in other ways. This was politics.
If he wanted to do something and accomplish something, he couldn't be timid and keep compromising and giving in. No matter what you did was right or wrong, history would make the right judgment.
After tossing and turning for a night, he was exhausted. But when he received a call from the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, he had to go no matter how tired he was. Lu Yiwei cheered up and took a rest in the car, ready to face the storm at any time.
When he arrived at the Municipal Party Committee's compound and entered the building, Lu Yiwei once again enjoyed the privilege of cutting the queue and entering the secretary's office of the Municipal Party Committee. He saw Shao Zhongjie sitting there with a dark face, staring at him fiercely with eyes like a falcon. He was like a prey that could be devoured at any time.
As soon as Lu Yiwei sat down, Shao Zhongjie said, "Why didn't you report such a big operation last night?"
Along the way, Lu Yiwei had already thought about it. In a neither servile nor overbearing manner, he replied, "Secretary Shao, the situation back then was urgent, and there were a lot of people involved. For safety's sake, we had to take action in secret. You did not call me today, and I intended to report to you. Also, this matter was led by the Public Security Bureau. I thought they had already asked for your permission. "
"Pa!"
Shao Zhongjie slammed the table and said, "Nonsense! I've emphasized many times in the meeting that we must ask for instructions and report to the higher-ups whenever we encounter any major issues. Do you still have any party discipline in your eyes? I didn't even know about such a major issue from the beginning to the end, and I only found out about it after the fact. Who told you to do this? "
Party and government leaders were almost irreconcilable contradictions. It was rare to see them get along well and work together. After all, everyone had their own thoughts, and there would inevitably be deviations in their governing philosophy. Furthermore, it involved the interests of all parties, so it was difficult to reach a consensus. Unless you meet a leader who has no hope in his political career, he will turn a blind eye and let you do whatever you want. However, such a situation was extremely rare.
Ma Feifei had been in Nanzhou City for more than three months. When she first arrived, she carried a strong momentum, valiant and high-spirited, wanting to make a name for herself. She had spoken out many times on different occasions, anxious to gain a foothold in Nanzhou. Shao Zhongjie, on the other hand, was single-minded in wanting to transfer and was disinclined to manage this mess, so much so that it gave people the illusion that Ma Feifei had already replaced him.
It was reasonable to say that the campaign to crack down on prostitution and illegal activities was a matter of the government, and the Municipal Party Committee Secretary should attend and give a speech. However, Shao Zhongjie did not speak from beginning to end, let alone participate. The contradiction between the two had already subtly emerged.
Lu Yiwei was already prepared to be criticized, saying, "Secretary Shao, I think the public security environment of Long An should really be rectified. Involving prostitution, gambling, and even drug trafficking, the impact is extremely bad. The common people are full of complaints, but don't dare to speak out. If we don't stop it, it will damage the credibility of the County Party Committee government. "
"Enough!"
Shao Zhongjie said with a dark face, "I didn't say you did anything wrong, but you should at least ask for permission and report. You are the County Party Committee Secretary, directly responsible to the Municipal Party Committee, don't you even understand this little bit of awareness? "
Lu Yiwei understood that this was aimed at Ma Feifei. He chose to remain silent.
"Nanzhou City's achievements today were not formed overnight, but it was done bit by bit by the joint efforts of several people. The rise of the entertainment industry has driven the real estate industry and tourism. If investors are scared away all of a sudden, who will invest in the industry? A lot of things can't be suppressed and banned, they need positive guidance and regulations … "
Shao Zhongjie said a lot, the core point was that the existence of prostitution, gambling, and drugs must not be cracked down. A large part of Nanzhou's GDP came from the real estate industry and the entertainment industry. Such an abnormal development model was bound to not last long. But because of the comprehensive ranking and consideration of GDP, some people pretended not to see it.
No matter what he said, Lu Yiwei never admitted that he had done anything wrong from beginning to end. Moreover, it had already become a fact, and it was impossible to turn back time.
"Yiwei, in fact, I have a good impression of you. The few things that you arranged were done very well, but you can't do whatever you want because of this. You're on your own."
Coming out of the office, Lu Yiwei was in an extremely bad mood. It was really difficult to do a career. No matter how difficult it was, he had to persevere.
When he was about to leave, he met Shi Xiaoman in the elevator. She said excitedly, "Why are you here? Mayor Ma just said he wanted to see you. Just in time, I'll take you there."
Lu Yiwei was a little tired and waved his hand. "Forget it, another day. I'm a little tired."
Shi Xiaoman looked at him, reached out and touched his forehead. "Aren't you sick?"
The subtle movement made Lu Yiwei a little restrained. He looked away and said, "No, I didn't sleep well last night."
"Why don't you go to my office for some tea and have lunch together."
Lu Yiwei had long wanted to find someone to talk to and vent all the words that had been bottled up in his stomach. However, it seemed that no one was suitable. Shi Xiaoman and he left Beihe Town together, came to Jiangdong City one after the other, and now came to Nanzhou City. This was fate. Over the years, the two had a good relationship and did not drift apart because of the change in their identities. In many things, she could shoulder half the sky.
Seeing that he did not speak, Shi Xiaoman looked at her watch and said, "How about this, I'll go take a day off and go to my dormitory in a while. I'll cook you two home-cooked dishes for lunch, how about it?"
"Is it appropriate?"
