Lu Yiwei was still in a daze as he sat there with his eyes wide open.
"Comrade Yiwei, if you have any objections, you can raise them now."
Lu Yiwei was startled and said, "No, the organization wants me to be the deputy mayor of Jiangdong City. Did I hear it right?"
Wang Naiqin smiled and signaled the man next to him to pass the document to him.
Lu Yiwei saw the appointment decision which was three fingers wide and stamped with the official seal of the Xijiang Provincial Party Committee Organization Department of the Chinese Communist Party. He believed everything was true. He returned it and said, "Minister Wang, thank you for the organization's trust and training in me. But forgive me for my limited ability and dare not accept this appointment." As he said that, he respectfully handed over the drafted resignation report.
Wang Naiqin was shocked when he saw it. He didn't say anything for a long time and only communicated with the comrades next to him. After a long time, he said, "Comrade Yiwei, what do you mean by this?"
Lu Yiwei said frankly, "Minister Wang, the Organization Department is my maternal family and you are my maternal family. A married daughter-in-law can run back to her maternal family to complain when she feels wronged, but I can only talk to you. In fact, I have clearly stated the reasons in my resignation report. On one hand, it is the problem of my ability, but more importantly, it is my inability to adapt to the current situation. On top of that, I am sick, so I ask the organization to approve my resignation. I am very grateful. "
This was the first time Wang Naiqin saw someone resign since he started working, and it was at the critical moment of promotion. If it was someone else, they would be overjoyed. He didn't expect Lu Yiwei to do this. He said, "The reasons in the report are obviously not valid. This is not your true opinion. In addition, your opinion is beyond my scope of work. I need to consult with Minister Zhao before I give you an answer. "
After the meeting, Wang Naiqin asked Lu Yiwei to stay. He said seriously, "Lu Yiwei, do you know what you are doing? Now it's just you and me. Tell me what you really think. "
Lu Yiwei smiled faintly and lowered his head. "Of course I know. I don't have any other thoughts. I just want to feel tired and return to the life of an ordinary person. That's all."
Wang Naiqin reprimanded him with a look of exasperation, "Lu Yiwei, although I haven't been in contact with you for a long time, I still know about your situation. Currently, you are the youngest Secretary of the County party committee among the registered cadres in Xijiang Province. You are considered one of the best among the reserve cadres and have been included in the key training targets. Sending you to Long'an County is a test for you. Now, the opportunity had come. Governor Zhao has personally asked you to return to Jiangdong City as the Deputy Mayor and entrusted you with the important task of participating in the reconstruction of the old city. This is such a great gift, but you don't cherish it and want to resign. Are you worthy of the organization's years of training? Are you worthy of Governor Zhao and Minister Zhao's painstaking efforts? "
Lu Yiwei had made up his mind. He said guiltily, "I've let the organization down. I've let Governor Zhao and Minister Zhao down. But I really don't have the heart to stay in politics anymore. I'm sorry!"
Wang Naiqin realized the seriousness of the matter and changed his mind. He decided to return to Jiangdong City that night to report to the main leaders. Lu Yiwei finally poured out the words buried in his heart. He felt extremely comfortable. But what happened next was a little too much for him to handle.
That night, it was already past one o 'clock in the morning. Zhang Zhiyuan specially rushed over from Jiangdong City. He dragged Lu Yiwei out of bed and scolded him for a full three hours. Lu Yiwei was so angry that he was trembling. Lu Yiwei had never seen him lose his temper like this. At first, he lowered his head and listened. Then, he comforted him. "Secretary Zhang, drink some water to calm down. It's not worth it to hurt your health because of me."
Zhang Zhiyuan glared at him and said with disappointment, "Do you know the hardships behind your transfer? Governor Zhao almost quarreled with Secretary Zhang during the Standing Committee meeting because of you. He stood his ground and insisted on transferring you back and letting you participate in the reconstruction of the old city. "There are millions of officials in the province. Why should they treat you special? It's because of their special relationship. If it were someone else, he might not even look them in the eye. "But you chose to retreat at this time. Are you worthy of Governor Zhao?"
Lu Yiwei was speechless. After a long time, he said, "I'm not retreating. I'm really a little tired. I want to —"
"Don't talk to me about this. How old are you? Have you seen through the world of mortals? Or have you become a superhuman? This is the best time for you to show yourself, but you chose to run away like a coward. Governor Zhao already knows about this, and he's very angry. "Go back to your post obediently. If you dare to give up, you'll be you, and I'll be me. We'll be strangers, and we'll never meet again."
Lu Yiwei wanted to tell him what was on his mind, but the other party was very determined, so he could only give up.
When he saw that Lu Yiwei did not speak, Zhang Zhiyuan softened his tone and said, "Yiwei, I know what you're thinking. This is how society is now. Your personality is a little out of place, but it's precisely because of this personality that Governor Zhao thinks highly of you. "You're not afraid of the rich and powerful, and you have the courage to take responsibility. This is the integrity and boldness that are rare among the officials nowadays.
"Also, I'll tell you some secrets. The reason why Governor Zhao asked you to participate in the reconstruction of the old city was not because you wanted to, but because he entrusted you with an important task. Secretary Zhang's intention to instruct Qiu Yuanhang to control the reconstruction of the old city in Jiangdong is very clear. He completely ignored Governor Zhao and acted on his own. "The reason I asked you to participate is to break the enemy's plan, keep an eye on them, and find problems. When the time is right, change the situation and turn the situation around."
Lu Yiwei understood. Zhao Kunsheng had arranged him as a chess piece in the enemy's camp, like a sharp knife piercing into the enemy's heart. The task was difficult. The reconstruction of the old city involved a huge project of tens of billions, and the huge benefits behind it would inevitably cause chaos. From one whirlpool to another whirlpool, it was a naked political struggle, and he was rushing to the front line of this invisible war.
"Secretary Zhang, can you listen to me for a few words?"
Zhang Zhiyuan waved his hand and said, "Don't say anything. Pack your bags and get ready to go. One day, Governor Zhao will become the secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, and your career will be smooth. Maybe in a few years, you'll be the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. You're just an ordinary farmer. Don't forget your original intention, and don't go against the leader's intention. You know, he can promote you, but he can also destroy you. Qiu Yuanhang has been watching you like a tiger watching its prey. How can they let you resign? In the face of powerful forces, you can only forge a path that belongs to you in adversity. "
