Lu Yiwei did not speak and quietly downed the glass before filling it up again. When it came to the third glass, Zhang Xiaohe felt something was amiss and quickly stopped him, "Secretary Lu, you can't drink like this. Your body can't take it."
Lu Yiwei ignored Zhang Xiaohe's obstruction and filled it up again. At this time, he raised his head and said, "Chief Zhang, if I wasn't the Secretary of the County party committee, I would've befriended you. But now, I can't be as casual as I used to be. There are countless pairs of eyes watching my every word and action, including my visit to your place tonight. If I'm not mistaken, someone already knows about it. Hence, I'm very cautious and don't give others a handle to criticize me. "
"We haven't known each other for a long time, but I have a deep impression of you. I also appreciate your talent and ability. I originally wanted to chat with you tonight, but after seeing your resignation letter, I changed my mind at the last minute and decided to poach you. I know that it's a waste of your talent to come to Long 'an, but it seems that there's a more sincere way to retain you. It seems that other than money and power, there is a more sincere way to retain me. That is, the three glasses of wine just now were my true thoughts. "
Zhang Xiaohe was confused and flabbergasted. After a moment of silence, he said, "Secretary Lu, I've long heard about your deeds. You're willing to pay any price for your brothers, and you can tolerate anything for your friends. Your actions are enough to show that you're a righteous person. To tell you the truth, I'm also a loyal person, and I can't refuse a friend's request, not to mention your sincerity. "
"I also believe that you're not joking, and you really want to contribute to Long 'an. But I'm caught off guard and wasn't mentally prepared for it. Furthermore, my resignation is just wishful thinking. Whether the headquarters approves it or not, it's another matter. Furthermore, I've already promised my classmates in Shenzhen that we'll set up a company together. This … "
Lu Yiwei waved his hand and said, "Don't rush to give me an answer. I'll give you enough time to consider it. If you insist on going to Shenzhen, I can't stop you. I can only blame myself for not being able to keep you. But let me say that my door will always be open for you, and you can come anytime you want. And tonight's words were all fulfilled. If you think it's too little, I can add more. Is 3 million enough? "
"No, no, no, it's not about money. To tell you the truth, I'm not short of money. My father retired from a state-owned enterprise, and my mother is a senior engineer who enjoys the State Council's allowance. I'm the only son in my family, so money is just a number to me. It was precisely because he grew up in a well-off family that he had no concept of money that he lost the motivation to move forward. It's just like me at Longjiang Coal Industry. As long as safety is ensured and there are no accidents, everything will be fine. As for the economic benefits, even if we don't pay attention to them, they will still be fine. Based on this year's situation, the income will only increase and not decrease. There is no technical content at all, and there is no challenge. "
Lu Yiwei said excitedly, "Then come to Long 'an. I'm sure your wish will be fulfilled. Think about it, a company that started from nothing will grow bit by bit in your hands, and then become bigger and stronger. In the future, it might even become a listed company. If that day really comes, how challenging will it be? "
Zhang Xiaohe was very calm and knew what he wanted. He smiled and said, "I'm looking forward to working with someone as idealistic as you. But it's too sudden … "
Lu Yiwei raised his glass and straightforwardly said, "I'm not in a hurry. You can take your time to consider it. Let me know when you're done. I can promise you that as long as you come, I will give you absolute authority. You will be directly responsible to me, and no one can interfere. Taking a step back, even if you can give me a prototype of the company's operation, I will be satisfied. Let's not talk about it, I'll drink with you. "
"Don't mention it, I'll drink with you."
Lu Yiwei was in a good mood tonight, and he drank a bottle with Zhang Xiaohe. Perhaps it had been a long time since he had drunk in such a good mood, so he was not drunk at all. Under Zhang Xiao He's invitation, he stayed at the company's hotel to take a shower and lay comfortably on the bed, enjoying a massage that he had not enjoyed in many years. His whole body felt comfortable.
After the shower, the two went to the lounge. Lu Yiwei did not forget about business and said, "Mr. Zhang, you haven't signed the contract yet. You can't just drag it on like this, right?"
Zhang Xiaohe lit a cigarette for him and said, "Secretary Lu, I've already conveyed your intentions to the headquarters, but Chairman Jin refused to budge. Furthermore, the provincial government has also issued a document that clearly states that the contract will continue for twenty years. The contract fee will be based on the market price, and both parties will negotiate. "
Lu Yiwei waved his hand and said, "No matter who issued the document, I won't acknowledge it. As a government agency, and a provincial one at that, we should understand and abide by the law. The contract law states that a contract can only be valid if it is signed with respect to the will of both parties. You're unilaterally issuing a document and using administrative means to interfere. Are you trying to override the law? "
"I hope this matter can be resolved peacefully. If you insist, I'm sorry, but don't blame me for taking action. Of course, I'm not targeting you, but the Xijiao Corporation. "
Seeing that Lu Yiwei was not budging, Zhang Xiaohe said, "How about this, I'll go back to the headquarters this week to ask for instructions. If it doesn't work, then there's nothing else I can do."
"Fine, I'll give you another twenty days. Once the deadline is up, I'll immediately get the relevant authorities to seal your coal mine. If you're not satisfied, then we'll meet in court."
Zhang Xiaohe asked tentatively, "Secretary Lu, why do you have to make things difficult for us? You won't be staying here for too long. There's no need to bring trouble to yourself because of work. Why do you have to do this? Our Chairman Jin said that if the contract is renewed, he'll arrange for you to stay alone. "
"Don't bother, I don't need it." Lu Yiwei sternly refused. "That's right, I might be transferred out of Long 'an at any time, but as long as I'm here, I must do something for Long' an. It's not that Long 'an doesn't have resources, but it's under the control of state-owned enterprises for a long time, causing us to be poor, while you guys are overflowing with wealth. Look at the county, the city doesn't look like a city, and the village doesn't look like a village. It'll still be a poor county by now. Holding a golden rice bowl and begging everywhere, are you going to be poor forever? Give us back what belongs to us, and please don't rob us of our resources. I'll say the same thing even if the governor asks for it. "
Zhang Xiaohe saw him in a new light, giving him a thumbs up. "It's rare to see a leader like you who cares about the country and the people. Just based on what you said just now, it's enough to make everyone speechless. How about this, I'll fight for it, and I'll do my best. If I can really get it back, I'll naturally lose my job. Haha. "
"Isn't that even better? You can work for me."
"And then hand over Longjiang Coal to me, right?"
