After the call, Bai Zongfeng shrugged helplessly. "Didn't you say you don't have dinner tonight? You're here now."
Lu Yiwei stood up. "Secretary Bai, I'll take my leave first."
"Come back! What's the hurry? You haven't eaten anyway. Let's go together. "Then, he got up and went into the bedroom to change.
Lu Yiwei heard the conversation just now. If he guessed correctly, the other party should be Tang Li. This woman was powerful enough to take down Bai Zongfeng … It was just a guess, and he didn't know the truth.
Every leader had a specific hobby. Some liked sports, some liked photography, some liked collecting antiques, and some liked women. Bai Zongfeng was handsome and naturally attracted the attention of many women. He never lacked women around him. Lu Yiwei had seen at least three of them, and now there was Tang Li …
Men and women had always been a minefield in politics. Once stepped on, it was difficult to get rid of it. If one was lucky, he could avoid it. But there was no party discipline or national law that stipulated the boundaries between men and women. The line was blurred, and it was difficult to judge. Although this problem could not negate a person's achievements, it was definitely a fatal blow.
Bai Zongfeng never seemed to avoid it. He had such a beautiful wife at home, but he still went around picking wildflowers. Maybe men would develop aesthetic fatigue when they reached a certain stage. Moreover, Lu Yiwei didn't know much about his family, but he felt that they were close. This …
After a while, Bai Zongfeng came out in white sportswear. He seemed to be in a good mood. "Did you drive?"
"Yes, Fuyong's car."
"Oh, then let's take a taxi."
The night in Beijing was very congested. It took them more than an hour to arrive at the rendezvous. Tang Li stood at the door to greet them. She was surprised to see Lu Yiwei, but she smiled happily. "Secretary Lu is here too. That's great. Let's go up."
Before going upstairs, Lu Yiwei looked around to make sure there was no danger before he went in. He didn't care, but he couldn't let Bai Zongfeng be targeted.
After entering the private room, Bai Zongfeng sat in the middle, while Tang Li sat on his left. She held the menu and said, "Director Bai, I've ordered some food. What else do you want?"
Bai Zongfeng didn't avoid Lu Yiwei at all. He held her hand and touched the back of it, saying, "Anything is fine."
Tang Li turned pale. She glanced at Lu Yiwei and winked at Bai Zongfeng. She tried to retract her hand, but Bai Zongfeng held on tightly and said, "Don't be nervous. Yiwei is not an outsider."
These words completely dispelled Tang Li's worries. She turned around and said with a smile, "Has Secretary Lu always been with Director Bai?"
Lu Yiwei pretended not to see anything and nodded.
Bai Zongfeng took over the conversation and said, "Yiwei is the best among my secretaries. He is capable, knows the rules, has courage, and is willing to do things. In the future, his potential is limitless. He will definitely become an important leader."
Tang Li chimed in, "It's definitely not a problem for Director-General Bai to take a liking to him. Since he's so outstanding, you have to guide him well."
Bai Zongfeng laughed heartily and tightened his grip on Tang Li's hand.
The meal was finished in a "harmonious" atmosphere. Lu Yiwei remained silent throughout the meal. During this kind of meal, all he needed to do was to close his eyes and ears and pretend to be invisible.
After the meal, Bai Zongfeng got into Tang Li's car and left him alone. He had no choice but to take a taxi back to his place.
Niu Fuyong had already registered a room for him at Diaoyutai Hotel. But considering that there was a meeting tomorrow morning, and all the County party committee Secretaries from all over the country would be together, he didn't want to miss this great opportunity to make friends. He entered the room according to the room number provided when he registered. The other person who was staying with him had not checked in yet. He was very curious about who the other person was. But this hotel was booked by Xijiang Province, so it could only be someone from his hometown.
As they were talking, someone knocked on the door. Lu Yiwei was about to get up, but the door was already opened. Two people walked in quickly with suitcases in their hands. They were sweating profusely and looked nervous. When they saw him, they smiled and didn't say a word.
From their attire and demeanor, they didn't look like the County party committee Secretaries. He looked outside and didn't see anyone. He asked curiously, "Which county are you from?"
One of the men said respectfully, "Secretary Lu, nice to meet you. I'm from Guwei District."
He didn't expect the other party to know him. But when it came to Guwei District, it was not surprising that they knew him. He suddenly thought of something and asked, "Are you Secretary Gao Qianyong?"
The man nodded his head.
"Where is he?"
"He'll be here soon."
While they were talking, Gao Qianyong came in. When he saw Lu Yiwei, he was stunned for a moment. Then, he laughed loudly and said, "I was still thinking about who to stay with. I didn't expect it to be you. Haha, this is fate."
Lu Yiwei was also excited. He originally wanted to talk to him, but they were actually in the same room. This was called searching far and wide. He stretched out his hand and smiled. "Secretary Gao, long time no see."
Gao Qianyong shook his hand and looked at him. "Indeed, long time no see. We must have a good chat tonight." After that, he turned around and said, "You can leave first."
After the two men left, Gao Qianyong changed into slippers and sat on the sofa. He took out a cigarette and said, "Time flies. I don't think we've seen each other since we left the high-tech zone."
Back then, when Gao Qianyong was transferred to the high-tech zone, he was only the deputy director of the management committee. When Lu Yiwei left, he also left to become the county head of a certain county in Eastern City. After three years, he was already a deputy director, while Lu Yiwei was still stuck in the position of director. Of course, there was no comparison between them.
"Yes, it's been three or four years. You haven't changed at all."
"Haha, how have you been? We have to have a good chat during the meeting. By the way, have you eaten? Do you want to go down and eat? There's a restaurant on the third floor. "
Lu Yiwei was not full at all. Not only was he not used to seafood, but he also could not eat in that environment. "Okay, let's go together."
The two took the elevator to the restaurant. Gao Qianyong generously ordered two bottles of Maotai and said, "Since we have nothing to do tonight, let's each have a bottle and go back to sleep. Do you have any objections?"
"Okay! Whatever you say. "
While waiting for the food, Gao Qianyong looked at him and said, "You are thinner and darker than before. It must be tough down there."
Lu Yiwei casually said, "That's it. It's alright. What about you?"
Gao Qianyong waved his hand and said, "Don't mention it. Every day is like a war. I don't even have a chance to breathe. If I knew it would be like this, I would not have come back. The meeting in Beijing looks like work, but it's actually to relax. I've had enough. "
"Haha, me too. Working day and night. It's painful."
