The provincial government did not give Lu Yiwei any time to hesitate. That afternoon, a county-wide meeting was held to convey his appointment decision from the Provincial Party Committee's Organization Department.
This meeting should be the highest-profile meeting in the history of Long 'an County. Wang Naiqin, Deputy Minister of the Provincial Party Committee's Organization Department, Liao Zhiyong, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Li Moqun, and Mayor Ma Feifei attended the meeting. At the meeting, Liao Zhiyong read out the appointment decision, Li Moqun made a speech on behalf of the Municipal Party Committee, and Ma Feifei made a brief summary of the work in Long 'an County.
When it was Lu Yiwei's turn to speak, he was not prepared at all. Standing on the podium, his mind went blank, and he was so nervous that his legs were trembling. Countless pairs of expectant eyes stared at him, and he lost control of his emotions. Before he could speak, tears flowed from his eyes.
"I'm sorry!"
Lu Yiwei quickly turned around and wiped away his tears. There was a thunderous applause that lasted for a long time. After he adjusted his emotions, he pressed his hands down and said in a choked voice, "Leaders and comrades, I clearly remember the afternoon of December 16th, standing here, I made a solemn promise to everyone. I promised to change Long 'an with the courage and boldness to change Long' an, develop Long 'an, and revitalize Long' an. And today, I'm standing here again, not to report my work, but to bid farewell. I broke my promise. I'm sorry to the 800,000 people of Long 'an who supported me, sorry to the 20,000 Party members and cadres who trusted me, and sorry to all the leaders who encouraged me. "
After saying that, he bowed deeply and continued, "The County Party Committee drafted a resignation speech for me. I've read it, and the summary is very good, but there are many flaws. I've been in Long 'an County for eight months, and although I haven't achieved much, I have made a lot of mistakes. Today is not a ceremony to show off my achievements, nor is it a meeting to criticize me. From the bottom of my heart, I don't want to leave this place, but the organization has other arrangements for me, so I have to wave goodbye to everyone.
"Looking back on this short period of time, my comrades and I devoted all our efforts to the cause that we were fighting for together. We experienced all the joys and sorrows, we encountered unexpected difficulties and obstacles, we experienced unforgettable ups and downs, and we gained precious life insights and true feelings in the world.
There is a cycle in human affairs, and the past and present have become the present. Today, I am here to bid farewell to my comrades, to the people of Long'an, and to this warm land. This has made me realize that time has left traces and the cause contains true feelings. Although I've left Long 'an, my heart will always remain in Long' an. The memories of my work with my comrades will always be engraved in my heart, and I will always remember them. "
"There are too many things I want to say, but I can't express them in words at this moment. It's hard to forget, it's hard to forget … If there's another chance, I'll come back. Thank you, everyone. "
After that, Lu Yiwei bowed again. He maintained this posture for a full five minutes, and the audience burst into thunderous applause. Someone shouted, "Secretary Lu, don't go!" The others immediately followed suit. The atmosphere was so warm that everyone sitting on the rostrum was moved.
After the meeting ended, the group came to the lounge. Wang Naiqin still hadn't recovered from his emotions and said excitedly, "Moqun, I've been to many places and I don't know how many meetings I've held, but this is the first time I've seen something like this. It shows that Comrade Lu Yiwei's prestige is very high, and he still has a certain base among the people. "
Li Moqun looked at Lu Yiwei behind him and sighed, "It's not easy to find a capable assistant for me, but you guys transferred him away without saying a word. Sigh!"
Wang Naiqin smiled and said, "It's not that we want to transfer him, but the province needs him. What does this mean? The more outstanding a person is, the more people will have their eyes on him. Moreover, Yiwei is being promoted this time, so you should be happy for him. No matter what position he's in, at least he was once your subordinate. "
"Yes, yes, yes, I should be happy. Yiwei, arrange a meal and have a drink with Minister Wang tonight. "
That night, Lu Yiwei drank too much. This was his last night in Long'an County. Tomorrow, he would return to Jiangdong City with his luggage.
When he woke up the next day, it was foggy outside the window, and the rain was pattering. Lu Yiwei lay on the bed with his eyes wide open. He was reluctant to say goodbye. A knock on the door interrupted his thoughts. He struggled to sit up, put on his clothes, and opened the door. Li Haidong and Niu Fuyong were standing outside the door, giggling at him.
"Secretary Lu, oh no, Mayor Lu, congratulations on your promotion, haha."
Niu Fuyong was still carefree. Lu Yiwei said impatiently, "How long did they come?"
"This morning, Haidong called me and told me about it. He was furious. How could he not tell me about such a big thing? Now he's here to punish me. "
Lu Yiwei ignored him. He sat on the sofa and rubbed his swollen head, sighing. "Everything happened so suddenly …"
Niu Fuyong sat down and said, "You must be joking. I can't wait for you to get promoted. Tell me, how do you want to pack? I'm here today to help you pack up. I've especially driven ten Mercedes-Benz cars from the province. Let's go back to Jiangdong in style. "
Lu Yiwei immediately sat up and said in shock, "What? Ten Mercedes-Benz cars?"
"Yes, they're parked downstairs."
He quickly ran to the window and saw a row of Mercedes-Benz cars parked downstairs. He said sternly, "This is nonsense. Hurry up and drive them away."
Niu Fuyong said indifferently, "You've already left. What are you afraid of? Let's show them how awesome it is!"
Lu Yiwei was really angry. He said with a dark face, "Hurry up and drive them away, or I'll be angry."
Niu Fuyong saw that Lu Yiwei's expression was not right. He had no choice but to give in. He made a phone call and left one car behind. The rest of the cars left one after another.
"Brother Lu, what are you packing?"
Lu Yiwei looked back and seemed to freeze for a moment. After a long time, he said, "Pack everything you see and take it away. Especially the things in the study. Take them all. "
Li Haidong limped as he packed bit by bit. Lu Yiwei stood there with mixed feelings, unable to describe what he was feeling.
The items were very simple, and they were all packed up in no time. When it was almost seven o 'clock, Hu Zhixiong, Xing Bingwen, and Guo Jiajun came in together. They looked dejected and speechless, not knowing where to start.
Seeing this, Lu Yiwei forced a smile and said, "Why are you all so sad? Cheer up."
Xing Bingwen forced a smile and said after a long time, "Secretary Lu, are you going to leave just like that?"
"What else do you want?"
Xing Bingwen suddenly burst into tears and cried miserably. He grabbed Secretary Lu's hand tightly and said in a trembling voice, "Secretary Lu, what are we going to do after you leave? You must come home often in the future."
