The waiter led them to the designated private room. After opening the door, Niu Fuyong stood up and waved. "Brother Lu, we are waiting for you."
Lu Yiwei looked around. There were only four people in the large private room. Other than the two of them, the other two were unfamiliar. He looked at them carefully and felt like he had seen them somewhere before. But judging from the seating arrangement, Fan Rongkui should be in a higher position than the two of them.
When they got closer, Lu Yiwei recognized one of them and extended his hand. "Director Feng, nice to meet you."
Feng Leijian smiled and turned to Fan Rongkui. "Your son-in-law is famous everywhere he goes. He managed to invite Governor Zhao over not long after he took office. He's better than you."
Fan Rongkui smiled. "Yiwei. Call me Secretary Feng from now on. He has been promoted to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection's Deputy Secretary."
Lu Yiwei quickly changed his address. "Secretary Feng, I'm sorry. I didn't know you were promoted …"
As his name suggested, Feng Leijian was a well-known disciplinary official in Xijiang Province. He had handled countless cases, including some major and important cases. He was like a thunderbolt, a sharp sword hanging in the air, impartial, and merciless. There was a saying among the people. As long as someone was targeted by Feng Leizi, he would not be able to escape. That's why many people were afraid of him despite his low position. Some of the officials were terrified of him.
Fan Rongkui and Feng Leijian were assigned the same year. They walked into the Provincial Party Committee's courtyard together. One turned left and entered the Provincial Party Committee's Propaganda Department. The other turned right and entered the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. Feng Leijian's resume was simple. He had been in the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection for his entire life. He was nearing the age of retirement.
Feng Leijian smiled. "Your father-in-law is the host today. You must give him a toast."
"Of course, of course."
Fan Rongkui pointed to the other man. "This is Director Hu Chaoyang from the Provincial Party Committee's Training Department."
Lu Yiwei quickly shook his hand and said, "Director Hu, nice to meet you."
Hu Chaoyang was young, but his every movement was calm and steady. From his appearance and appearance, one could tell that he was a cadre of the government. He had fair skin, wore glasses, and his hair was neat. There were no stains on the cuffs of his white shirt. He gestured with his hand and said, "Take a seat, don't be so polite. I've heard of your name a long time ago. "
With an awkward smile, Lu Yiwei replied humbly, "Director Hu, you're flattering me. I'll need your guidance in the future."
Niu Fuyong basically couldn't get a word in at this kind of dinner. It seemed boring and unnecessary to sit there, but he was too embarrassed to leave, so he could only act as a waiter, serving tea, cigarettes, and wine. When the dinner began, he took the initiative to toast around and found an excuse to leave.
After three rounds of drinking, Fan Rongkui drank quite a lot. Basically, he drank three cups after three cups. Just like that, the atmosphere was unusually calm. Both of them held important positions and held important secrets. Once they opened their mouths, it would be easy for them to leak the secrets. That's why their conversation was awkward.
"Old Feng, Chaoyang, I invited both of you to dinner today to reminisce. It's been a long time since we last ate together. It's time for us to have a drink. Also, I want my son-in-law to get to know both of you so that he can take care of you in the future. I'm basically useless now, and I can't help much even if I wanted to. I can only rely on you two. To show my sincerity, I will drink all the wine in the cup. "After that, Feng Leijian drank a big cup.
Both of them were very calm. Feng Leijian said, "We're all family. Even if you don't mention it, I will still take care of you. But the condition is that you don't violate the party rules. If not, I will not be able to protect you. "
"That's for sure. I don't dare to say anything else, but Yiwei has been in politics for many years. He is as timid as a mouse and too honest. Even if someone asks him for help, he might not dare to help. You can rest assured about this. "
Feng Leijian looked at him and nodded. "That's for the best."
After dinner, Fan Rongkui invited Feng Leijian to the tea room downstairs. He lit a cigarette and sat opposite him. "Old Feng, it's getting late. I don't want to take up too much of your time. I want to ask a favor of you."
Feng Leijian became vigilant. His eyes were like torches, and his expression was calm. He flicked the cigarette and did not reply.
"It's like this. I want you to transfer Yiwei back to Jiang Dong City."
Feng Leijian was silent for a moment. He looked at Lu Yiwei and said, "Isn't he doing well in Long 'an? Why do you want to transfer him back? Furthermore, he was just promoted. It's not realistic to transfer him back so soon. Also, you should ask Chaoyang to transfer him. The Commission for Discipline Inspection doesn't have the power to do so. "
Fan Rongkui lowered his stance and said, "Old Feng, we're old friends. There's no need to hide. Let's not talk about work. Let's talk about our family. Our son is still young, and there's no one to take care of him. It's all up to my daughter to take care of everything. Living apart for a long time will inevitably affect the relationship between husband and wife. He has to make sacrifices for his family. "
"Actually, I can talk to Minister Zhao or someone else about this. But my identity is a bit awkward. If I don't give face when I visit, I'll be embarrassed. I heard that the Commission for Discipline Inspection is recruiting new people. Can you transfer him over? His character is excellent. As long as he's trained well, he'll definitely be a good member of the Commission for Discipline Inspection. "
Feng Leijian was still silent. After a long time, he said, "Yiwei, do you want to come back?"
Lu Yiwei did not say a word. When he was about to speak, Fan Rongkui interrupted him. "It's not up to him. I'll make the decision for him."
Feng Leijian extinguished his cigarette and said. "Recently, the Commission for Discipline Inspection is indeed recruiting new members in the province. But it's only for the Commission for Discipline Inspection. I'm also happy that the County party committee's Secretary is joining the Commission for Discipline Inspection. But it's not a good thing for him. What should I do when he returns? Take up the position of the Head of the Commission for Discipline Inspection? That will be burying him. Ordinary members? Unrealistic. That's why you should think twice. "
"Furthermore, you should know about the Commission for Discipline Inspection. It's easy to get in, but hard to get out. I am a living example. He is so young and energetic. It's a waste of his talent to join the Commission for Discipline Inspection. "
Fan Rongkui replied firmly. "It's fine. Gold will shine no matter where it is. After a few years of training in the Commission for Discipline Inspection, he will still be a capable man. "
After chatting for about seven to eight minutes, Feng Leijian said. "How about this? I can include his name in the proposal. As for whether Secretary Wei will approve it or not, it's another matter."
"Alright. Thank you. Old Feng, I will leave this matter to you. "
Just like this, Fan Rongkui did not ask for Lu Yiwei's opinion. On the way back, Fan Rongkui wanted to refute or explain. But when he thought of Feng Rongkui's goodwill, he gave up.
