The next morning, Lu Yiwei sent Xiao Yu to school, but he did not go home. Instead, he went straight to Dezhi's company. When he went upstairs, he saw Pan Chengjun in the middle of a meeting.
Because of the land, Lu Yiwei had spoken to Gao Qianyong, the secretary of the Guwei District Committee. Gao Qianyong was very straightforward and used some methods to help Pan Chengjun get 120 mu of land. Coupled with Niu Fuyong's support, the funding gap was solved. At this point, Dezhi's company had opened up a new field and entered the real estate market.
Lu Yiwei's arrival made Pan Chengjun hastily end the meeting. He told the general manager to continue the meeting and hurried over to greet the 'boss' of Dezhi. When the company was first established, more than half of the funds came from the assets left by Xu Dezhi and the profits from the coal mine. Then, it was handed over to Tong Huan to manage. After so many years, there had never been a clear share, and every time Pan Chengjun brought it up, he would stop him. In his words, this company did not belong to a single person, but was a shared wealth.
Pan Chengjun had been busy during this period, but he enjoyed it. On one hand, it was exciting to get such a big project, and on the other hand, his daughter's birth made him a father again. It could be said to be double happiness. He smiled. "Not busy today?"
Lu Yiwei sat on Pan Chengjun's chair and lit a cigarette. He looked out the window. "How is Tong Huan and the child?"
"Not bad. She is at home taking care of the child. I hired a three-month nanny to accompany her. The child is also healthy, hehe."
Pan Chengjun was overjoyed, and his face was filled with a fatherly smile. Lu Yiwei turned back. "I am a man, so it is not convenient for me to visit her. Let Chunfang go."
"No need to be so polite. We are all family."
After chatting for a while, the topic shifted to work. Pan Chengjun reported. "I was looking for a suitable opportunity to report to you about the progress. The relevant procedures are already being handled, but it will take a long time. In the past two days, I've been contacting a few qualified construction companies. After reaching an agreement, I plan to start construction before the end of the year. I'll do the basic work and open the pre-sale. After the beginning of spring, I'll speed up the construction and try to deliver the first batch next year. The rest will be delivered the year after next. "
Lu Yiwei didn't seem interested in this and said, "Just do it according to your plan, there's no need to report it to me. Right, I remember you told me before that you helped build a primary school in North River Town. How's the progress? "
"Oh, you mean Xikou Village's Dezhi Primary School? It has been completed and handed over to the local village for use. I was supposed to hold a ceremony, but I was too busy to go. The principal told me that all 220 students can move to the new school next semester. "
"I want to take a look."
Pan Chengjun asked doubtfully, "Today?"
"Yes."
Pan Chengjun did not say anything. He simply handed over the matters at hand and accompanied Lu Yiwei to Nanyang County. After a two-and-a-half-hour drive, they arrived at Xikou Village in North River Town. When they returned to the familiar place, everything had changed. Because of the development of the coal mine, the poor and backward Xikou Village had undergone earth-shattering changes. Every family had built a second floor and entered a well-off society.
The village had become rich, so building a school was not a problem. But Lu Yiwei insisted on donating, not for any other reason but because Xu Dezhi had lived in this village for half his life. He should leave a mark on him.
Lu Yiwei's appearance instantly caused a sensation in the village. Almost the entire village had turned out in full force, surrounding him so tightly that not even a drop of water could trickle through. Everyone knew that he had become a high-ranking official. His sudden visit meant that he had not forgotten his hometown. Looking at the familiar faces, he was filled with emotion.
It was originally a private event, but it alarmed the leaders of North River Town. Soon, the county knew of his whereabouts. The County party committee secretary, Bai Yuxin, personally came to accompany him, which went against his original intention. But seeing the school built, he felt gratified. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly had a thought …
At noon, Bai Yuxin hosted him at the newly built Nanyang International Hotel. The two of them had not seen each other for a long time and had endless things to talk about. When he learned that he wanted to resign, Bai Yuxin was so shocked that he was speechless for a long time. He refused to put down the wine glass he was holding. After a long time, he said, "Brother Lu, you're not joking, right?"
Lu Yiwei smiled indifferently and said, "Do I look like I'm joking?"
Bai Yuxin quickly said, "Don't be silly. You're a celebrity in the province. You're recognized as a rising political star. No one can match your speed of promotion. Your career is flourishing, like the sun in the sky. Others can't even catch up to you, but you want to resign. What a joke, don't let your imagination run wild. If the old leader knows about this, he will definitely scold you. "
Lu Yiwei was unusually calm and said, "Is it wrong to return to the most basic life? Secretary Bai, I have a request. After I resign, can I go to Xikou Village to teach at Dezhi School? "
Bai Yuxin was stunned again. This time, her jaw almost dropped. She thought that she had misheard and asked again. After confirming that she did not hear wrongly, she exclaimed, "What's wrong with you? Don't talk nonsense. Do your job as the County party committee secretary. When you retire, I will welcome you with both hands."
Lu Yiwei said seriously, "I'm really not joking."
Bai Yuxin believed him and wanted to call Zhang Zhiyuan on the spot. But Lu Yiwei stopped her and said, "Old Bai, I'm telling you this because I treat you as a friend. If you dare to say it, I will break off our relationship!"
Bai Yuxin put down her phone and said helplessly, "Yiwei, what are you trying to do?"
Lu Yiwei smiled and said, "I want to go back to the beginning. It's that simple."
"You won't regret it?"
"The word 'regret' doesn't exist in my dictionary. I'm a teacher to begin with, and I entered the government by accident. After experiencing the ups and downs, I finally understand that this is the life that I want. I hope that Secretary Bai can accept me. "
"This, this …"
Bai Yuxin was dumbfounded. She felt that Su Tao's thoughts were unimaginable.
"That's settled. When I return to Nanyang, don't give me any special treatment. I will just be an ordinary teacher for three years. I will not leave within three years and focus on teaching the children. I will leave after three years if I have other thoughts. If not, I will continue to stay. "
