Zhang Zhiyuan had also just received the news. He immediately called Duan Zhangyun and asked about the ins and outs of the matter.
Duan Changyun kept pouring out his grievances on the other end of the phone. "County Head Zhang, this matter happened too suddenly, and I wasn't prepared. Judging from the current situation, Yiwei's identity is a little awkward."
Zhang Zhiyuan had the same thought. During this period of time, it was very easy for him to use Lu Yiwei, but he could not solve anything for Lu Yiwei in a short period of time, so he could only say, "Old Duan, you should coordinate this matter in the middle, or you might as well think of a way to extract Yiwei's body."
Duan Zhangyun said, "County Zhang, I think it's better to let Yiwei endure it for a while. What do you think Secretary Liu is trying to do by having his secretary come over? If we transfer Yiwei away at this time, it's very likely to cause unwarranted suspicion and conflict. "
Zhang Zhiyuan pondered for a while and said, "How about this? Let Lu Yiwei handle the logistics and leave the rest to He Xiaotian."
"Alright, I'll get to it right away!" Duan Zhangyun said.
After hanging up, Zhang Zhiyuan called Lu Yiwei and said, "I know about your matter. Don't feel burdened, okay?"
Lu Yiwei was quite indifferent. "Thank you for your concern, County Zhang. I'm fine."
"Okay." Zhang Zhiyuan said, "Make some preparations today. Accompany me to the provincial capital tonight."
Lu Yiwei immediately understood and asked, "What do I need to prepare?"
"You can contact Little Guo directly."
Lu Yiwei was planning to go to the provincial capital to meet Su Meng, so he had a chance now. He immediately called his driver, Guo Kai.
Guo Kai was about the same age as Lu Yiwei, and he was brought over by Zhang Zhiyuan from the city's transportation bureau. Guo Kai was a straightforward person who hated evil. Previously, when He Xiaotian and Lu Yiwei were arguing with each other, he couldn't stand it anymore and even mocked He Xiaotian. In addition, this person was very tight-lipped. No matter who it was, no one could get half a word out of his mouth. Just this point alone was enough to make Zhang Zhiyuan trust him.
As Lu Yiwei and Zhang Zhiyuan got closer and closer, Guo Kai also noticed that there were subtle changes between them. Naturally, the distance between him and Lu Yiwei was shortened a lot. Guo Kai received a call from Lu Yiwei. His attitude was excellent. When he heard about what happened at night, Guo Kai immediately asked, "Where are you now? I'll pick you up. "
Guo Kai's residence was arranged at the county's guest house, which was only a street away from the CPPCC. Lu Yiwei walked there in a few steps.
Guo Kai rummaged through his drawers and found a pack of cigarettes. He passed it to Lu Yiwei and said, "This is a white carton from the Shanghai Cigarette Factory. I heard it's specially for the Central Government's leaders. Here, have a smoke!"
Lu Yiwei swept away his unhappiness and happily accepted it. He joked, "Kid, you want me to enjoy the treatment of the Central Government's leaders? You might as well transfer me to the Central Government directly."
Guo Kai laughed, "I don't even know the direction of Zhongnanhai. Moreover, if I have that ability, why would I still be a servant?"
"Stop joking. Haha." Lu Yiwei said, "What's County Zhang's activity today?"
"I'm not too sure about this. I heard there will be a safety meeting in the afternoon." Guo Kai said, "Have you heard? There was a forest fire in Eastern City yesterday, and it's still not extinguished. I think today's meeting is related to this. "
Eastern City was Xijiang Province's major economic city. The forest coverage was also one of the largest in the province. Also, the mountains were covered with Pinus tabulaeformis. If there was a fire, it would not be easy to extinguish it in a short time. All these years, from the Central Government to the local governments, they had been paying special attention to forest fire prevention. Some places had made it their main work all year round. Even if they did not develop their economy, they still had to protect their land. Nanyang County's forest protection and fire prevention work was equally strict. As the main person in charge, County Head Zhang Zhiyuan had a huge responsibility.
Since he was not in the position, Lu Yiwei could not be bothered and changed the topic, "What's the activity tonight?"
Guo Kai tidied up the messy room and said, "Tonight, County Zhang will be treating a few leaders to dinner. I can't tell who exactly, but I will prepare eight people for the time being. When Hostel Manager Ma comes over later, he has already prepared everything."
As soon as he finished speaking, Hostel Manager Ma Chengliang pushed open the door and entered. He said cheerfully, "Brother Yiwei, long time no see!"
Lu Yiwei and Ma Chengliang had known each other for a long time. He reached out and hit Ma Chengliang, saying, "Bullsh * t, it's like this is my first time here. Other hostel managers are getting fatter, but you are getting slimmer. "
Ma Chengliang said with a sad face, "Sigh! I have no choice. These illnesses are killing me. My diabetes is getting worse, and I have to control my diet. "
Nanyang Hostel was a subsidiary of the Government Affairs Bureau. It was a self-sustaining institution and had the treatment of a Section Chief. The hostel was not as good as other key departments like the Land and Resources Bureau. But this was a typical government office. Basically, all the government officials in the county would come to this place. There were many hidden loopholes.
For example, when it came to buying vegetables, the price of vegetables fluctuated a lot. Who knows how much they would buy today, and the difference was decided by the manager. As for the accommodation, it was even more profitable. There was no need for any investment. All it needed was a few kilowatts of electricity. Even if a few more people were to stay, no one would be able to check.
As for the consumer units, they were more willing to spend here. It was recorded for the whole year and settled at the end of the year. Many government agencies would bring a few more cartons of cigarettes and a few bottles of alcohol before leaving. Some even brought toothbrushes and toothpaste back home. Both sides had their own needs, and it was a happy cooperation.
It was the same for the government agencies and the County leaders. Because the guest house was convenient and fast, many leaders usually got their cigarettes, drinks, and even gifts from their superiors when they went out for official activities. This had become an unwritten rule.
Ma Chengliang said, "I have prepared the things that County Zhang needs. Do you want to load the truck now or wait until it is time to leave?"
Lu Yiwei looked at his watch and said, "Let's load the truck now. Who knows when County Zhang will leave."
"Alright. Let's go now!"
Lu Yiwei was dumbfounded when he arrived at the storeroom on the ground floor. The storeroom was filled with cigarettes, alcohol, and gifts. Compared to five years ago, it was simply incomparable.
Ma Chengliang pointed to a few boxes of alcohol and over 10 cartons of cigarettes in the corner. "These are what County Zhang wants. Go and count them."
Lu Yiwei replied, "What's there to count? I trust your brother!"
Ma Chengliang took out a thick wad of money from his pocket and handed it to Lu Yiwei. "This is 80,000 yuan. Go to the finance office and write an IOU. When you come back, you can reimburse it with the ticket."
Lu Yiwei took the money and joked, "What's the invoice if it's for sex?"
Ma Chengliang chuckled. "Don't play dumb with me. You can just open it as a gift box for Texas Roast Chicken!"
Lu Yiwei laughed. "Manager Ma, you are experienced. May I know how much Texas Roast Chicken you buy in a year?"
"Forget it." Ma Chengliang replied. "You spend more than me on Texas Roast Chicken."
As they were chatting, He Xiaotian called. When Lu Yiwei picked up the call, He Xiaotian asked, "Where are you now?"
Lu Yiwei's face changed and hid in a corner. "Do I need to report to you where I am going?"
"Lu Yiwei, let me tell you. I am the Chief of the General Affairs Office now. I have the authority to ask about your whereabouts. Come back now. I need to talk to you." He Xiaotian hung up.
After Lu Yiwei settled down, he slowly returned to his office. He Xiaotian was still in a bad mood. He banged the table and said. "Lu Yiwei, you must ask for leave from me in the future when you go out."
"What if I don't?" Lu Yiwei sat down on the sofa, crossed his legs, and looked at He Xiaotian, who had gained the upper hand.
"You … you …" He Xiaotian choked on his words. Flustered and exasperated, he said, "You think I can't do anything to you? Someone can do something to you. "
"Don't play this game with me!" Lu Yiwei was thoroughly enraged. He stood up and walked in front of He Xiaotian, saying, "He Xiaotian, don't use a chicken feather as a token of authority. I've been tolerating you for a long time now. You know very well what kind of thing you are. You're still too inexperienced to play this game with me. Let me tell you. If you give me face today, I will pay you back. If you continue to be so unreasonable, don't blame me for being ruthless. "
