At noon, Lu Yiwei invited Liang Yuwen and Ma Feifei to have a meal. At the dining table, they did not talk about anything substantive, but Liang Yuwen released an obvious signal of friendliness, which was very beneficial for him to carry out his next work.
However, there was one person that could not be bypassed: Shao Zhongjie, the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. If he did not get his support, all his work would be in vain. During this period, this person seemed to be more passive. There were fewer meetings and he did not often appear on television. On the contrary, Ma Feifei appeared on different occasions in a high-profile manner, which made the people below a little confused. The reason for this was that his plan to be transferred should have been ruined.
People would always do some incredible things when they were frustrated in life. It was unknown whether he would support Lu Yiwei's work or not.
In the blink of an eye, it was mid-May. The temperature suddenly rose, and the footsteps of summer were right in front of them. The people changed into summer clothes and welcomed another ordinary and extraordinary summer.
The footsteps of time would never stop because of something. It would only continue to pass little by little. During this period of time, whether it was in the country or in Xijiang Province, some major events happened.
A magnitude 8.0 earthquake occurred in Wenchuan, far away in Sichuan. Even Long'an County, which was thousands of kilometers away, could clearly feel the earthquake. For a time, the whole country paid attention to it. The earthquake relief situation was broadcast on television 24 hours a day, affecting the hearts of every citizen. Lu Yiwei always paid attention to the television. He always felt that he should do something for the country, but he could not do anything about it. He could only silently pray for it.
Guo Jinzhu's case was announced the day after the earthquake in Wenchuan. As Lu Yiwei had guessed, he was sentenced to life imprisonment for more than a dozen crimes such as abuse of power, illegal embezzlement, and accepting a huge amount of unidentified property. Guo Jinzhu pleaded guilty on the spot and did not appeal. Not too many details of the case were disclosed, but it was broadcast on the Xijiang News Broadcast. Mainstream media such as the Xijiang Daily and even many websites carried out extensive reports on it.
This verdict caused a lot of commotion in Xijiang Province. Some people applauded and scolded the corrupt officials for getting what they deserved. Those who knew the truth sighed and felt that the sentence was a little too heavy. The people could talk about it, but no one dared to talk about it in the official circles.
The next morning, the Provincial Party Committee held a staff meeting to specially report the case of Guo Jinzhu, asking the leaders of the province to take a lesson, reflect deeply, and stick to the bottom line of integrity. In addition, they also asked all levels of the Party Committee and government to timely hold special meetings to convey Guo Jinzhu's case …
After learning the news, Lu Yiwei locked himself in the office for a long time and fell into silence. It couldn't be said that Guo Jinzhu was wronged, but the sentence was a little heavy. Being deprived of political rights for life meant that he would never be able to make a comeback in this life, but that was secondary. Most importantly, a life sentence meant that he would have to spend the rest of his life in a prison cell. What a painful blow. It was hard to face reality.
If it was a stranger, he would only need to reflect on it for a moment and let it go. However, it was clearly someone he was familiar with. On the eve of his arrest, he even brought him to see the governor, and in the blink of an eye …
Yiwei did not forget., and Guo's uncle. Yue. Yue, but before out. "Zhou, Lu" Yue will. "He," not. out. But before the sentence was pronounced, he would be under surveillance. Now, he should be able to move freely.
In fact, many people knew that Guo Jinzhu was just a political victim. He was used as a model for political purposes, and the possibility of him being framed could not be ruled out. Thinking back to the time when Qiu Yuanhang had stayed in Beizhou City with him, and the fact that he had returned to power, many things were obvious without needing to be said.
When he returned to Long'an County, the No. 3 compound was being renovated in full swing. There were many vehicles going in and out, shrouded in a layer of mystery. Most people did not understand what this was for, and only a few people knew the secret behind it. In the near future, this place would become hell for some people.
Lu Yiwei's reputation was on the decline, and the people of Long'an County were not impressed by him. She felt that he had promised so many things when he first arrived, but in the end, he had not accomplished a single thing. She did not know what he was busy with all day. Some people seized the opportunity to stir up trouble, maliciously fanning the flames, condemning him in both words and in writing.
A steady stream of news came into his ears, but Lu Yiwei remained calm and continued to participate in the organization meetings of various departments and towns. He could not afford to lose his composure. If he did not lead the leaders of Long'an County on the right path, then it would be futile no matter how big his plans were. For this reason alone, he had to keep his composure.
In a leisure villa on the outskirts of Jiangdong City, Liu Zhankui, deputy inspector of the Provincial Office of Construction, Long'an County Executive Deputy Governor Deng Zhongyuan, secretary of the Political and Legal Committee Zhang Tengfei, former director of the Finance Bureau Liang Haiping, and chairman of the Xin Heng Group Wang Zhiquan were sitting in a circle, drinking wine. It was a lively scene, and the topic of conversation was naturally related to the situation in Long'an.
"Brother Liu, Lu Yiwei is much more well-behaved now. It seems that he needs to be taught a lesson. Haha."
Deng Zhongyuan let out a hearty laugh, but Liu Zhankui did not laugh. He twirled the wine glass with his fingers and turned to Zhang Tengfei. "Has he done anything recently?"
After losing the think tank, Zhang Tengfei had obviously replaced Jiang Zhentao's position, and he was much more reliable than the brainless Deng Zhongyuan. "All the projects that he proposed in the past have been stopped. Recently, he has been attending the organization meetings of various units every day, and every time, he would drag Sun Gensheng and Qiu Yingxue to carry out his three lectures. Other than that, there are no other movements. Oh, he has arranged for Xing Bingwen to repair the former County party committee's compound, and he has not stopped. I don't know what he is up to. "
Liang Haiping took over the conversation. "Mayor Liu, I have a feeling that this kid is up to something. A while ago, he severely criticized Deputy Director Wang Jianwei in the organization meeting of the Finance Bureau, but he did not do anything after that. Recently, he has been renovating the No. 3 compound, and I heard that it is for the Commission for Discipline Inspection. My guess is that he did not stop, and he is planning to do something even bigger. "
Liu Zhankui did not respond, but looked at Wang Zhiquan. "What's the situation on your side?"
Wang Zhiquan replied. "Since Director Nan of the Municipal People's University passed away, the production resumed on the third day, and everything is fine now. Also, I had used my connections to bail out two of the people he arranged to arrest, and the other two are still in custody. This new Mayor Ma wants to crack down on prostitution in the city, and he had arrested Long 'an County as an example. I heard that there will be a public trial. However, these two are not much of a problem. They are not a threat to me. "
