"So, stick to your own ideas and ideals and never waver. Your rectification movement is coming to an end. If you slack off now, the interest groups will definitely retaliate. Grit your teeth and endure to the end. As long as you endure, the next step will be easy. "
Lu Yiwei nodded and said, "Thank you for supporting me."
Zhang Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Being young is your capital. This is your advantage. You are the youngest secretary of the County party committee in the province. Who can compare to you? My advice to you is to hide your edge, keep a low profile, keep a low profile, and work hard. Once you're high-profile, it'll be easy for others to target you. The bird that stands out will be shot at, and it'll be a fatal blow. Moreover, you have the label of Bai Zongfeng, and there will be many people watching you. Don't forget that your name is on the desk of Provincial Party Committee Secretary Zhang. "
"There is a reason why Secretary Bai asked you to train in Long 'an. Moving forward in adversity and growing up in tribulations is a valuable asset that will definitely be useful in the future. Secretary Zhang can't stay in Xijiang province forever. If he leaves one day and a new secretary comes, it will be time for you to show your talent. There is a rumor that Governor Zhao is likely to become the secretary of the Provincial Party Committee in the future. If it is true, you and I will have a bright future. "
With Zhang Zhiyuan's guidance, Lu Yiwei was enlightened and suddenly saw the light. With such a person guiding him on the road of life, there will be fewer detours. He was also lying low. When the time comes, he will definitely become a governor.
As they were chatting, Fan Chunfang called. Lu Yiwei looked at his watch and stood up. "It is getting late. I will not disturb your rest. I will go back to see Chunfang and mother-in-law."
Zhang Zhiyuan did not urge him to stay. He stood up and sent him to the door. "Don't be too anxious. I will ask around tomorrow morning and let you know once I find out."
"Okay."
When he returned home, only Fan Chunfang was left sitting on the sofa. His eyes were red and swollen, and his face was pale and full of worry. He looked like a lost child who could not find his way home. When she saw him, she immediately found her bearings. He rushed over and asked anxiously, "How is it?"
Lu Yiwei looked around and whispered, "Where's Mom?"
"She went in to sleep."
"Oh, you go to sleep too. Don't worry too much, I'll take care of everything."
Fan Chunfang threw herself into his arms and sobbed softly. Choking with sobs, she said, "Yiwei, you must think of a way. If something happens to Dad, how can Mom live?"
Lu Yiwei hugged her and patted her back. "Don't worry, I'll think of something."
That night, Lu Yiwei did not sleep. Every once in a while, he would pick up his phone to look at the time, quickly thinking of countermeasures. Where did Fan Rongkui's problem lie? Was it because of the property he bought in the capital some time ago? Or was it because of some problems he left behind in Xi City? His intuition told him that it should be the latter. This was a premeditated and targeted attack. If something really went wrong, how would he settle it? If Zhang Bingtong targeted him, thinking of Guo Jinzhu's ending, he could not help but break out in a cold sweat.
No matter what, he had to think of a way to "rescue" him. The first person that came to his mind was Bai Zongfeng. As an old leader who had served him for many years, he had never asked him to do anything personal. In addition, he had a good relationship with Fan Rongkui, so it was reasonable for him to stand up and say something. Even if he left Xijiang Province, he still had his authority and connections with the higher-ups. It should be more than enough to handle this matter.
Soon, he gave up on this idea. If he was strong enough, he would not have left Xijiang with his tail between his legs. This showed that his ability was not enough to fight against Zhang Bingtong. It showed that no one on the list could help him, nor would they dare to.
He thought of his brother-in-law, Zhong Ming. He still remembered that when Zhang Zhiyuan was in trouble, it was through his connections with the military that he survived. Otherwise, Zhang Zhiyuan would have been framed. However, this kind of relationship could only be used once. If he used it again, the other party might not help him. No, this would not do.
He thought of Niu Fuyong again. This person hung out with some childes in the capital all day long. It should not be a big problem to use this relationship to get through to Zhang Bingtong. But on the other hand, he felt that this matter was not reliable. Those people were good at bragging, but they might not be useful when it came to real use. Moreover, he did not want to owe them favors. Once he owed them, he would have to repay them with something substantial in the future.
Lu Yiwei almost thought of all the people around him, but there was no one he could use. Who could help him get through the current difficulties, or watch Fan Rongkui perish on his own? He was unwilling to give up. He turned over and quietly got out of bed. He went to the balcony of the living room and lit a cigarette. He took out his mobile phone and scrolled through his contact list. He scrolled from the top to the bottom, but he did not find a suitable person. Just when he was about to give up, he saw a familiar name. Zhang Dongzi. Yes, it was him. Maybe he really could not help.
At 5: 15, the sky was slightly bright, and most people were still sleeping in the city. Lu Yiwei could not wait any longer, so he dialed his number.
He called the other party two or three times in a row, but no one answered. Maybe he was still asleep, or maybe he did not want to answer his call. Just when he was about to give up, Zhang Dongzi called, and he quickly picked up.
"Hello, Secretary Lu, you called?"
"Yes, did I wake you up?"
"It's nothing. I drank a little last night and slept a little soundly. I saw it when I went to the toilet. What's the matter?"
Lu Yiwei said directly, "It's something urgent, and I can't explain it clearly over the phone. I'll come to you, is it convenient?"
Zhang Dongzi guessed that he was in trouble, so he said straightforwardly, "It's convenient, come over."
Lu Yiwei quickly put on his clothes, and without washing up, he drove to Zhang Dongzi's residence. After entering the door, he wore loose pajamas and said with a smile, "Secretary Lu, I haven't seen you for a long time. I've been wanting to see you for a long time, but I didn't have the time. Congratulations for being late."
Lu Yiwei was not in the mood to talk about this, so he vigilantly looked around and said, "Is there anyone else?"
Zhang Dongzi looked at the bedroom and said, "My girlfriend is here, it's fine. We're family."
"Then let's go in and talk."
After entering the bedroom next door, Lu Yiwei closed the door and said, "Dongzi, everything happened so suddenly. I have a favor to ask of you, please help me."
Zhang Dongzi looked at his anxious look, nodded, and said, "As long as it's within my power, I will definitely help."
Lu Yiwei roughly explained the situation, and Zhang Dongzi understood. He frowned and said, "Can I help with this kind of thing?"
