Why would Niu Fuyong spare no effort to help Lu Yiwei? It was all because of a small matter. Those who took the initiative to approach Niu Fuyong did so because of the money in his hands. Whether it was his lackeys, Mayor Xu Qingshan, or even the leaders of the county and city, they were all the same. They couldn't wait to peel off a layer of his skin and put the money in their pockets. This was something that Niu Fuyong was very clear about. However, he was also very happy to use money to fool, play, and manipulate these "officials". He wanted to let them know that no matter how high their status was, in front of money, they would always be a greedy dog, a greedy dog.
But Lu Yiwei was different. Although he liked money, he had never thought of taking a single cent from himself. One had to know that Niu Fuyong also risked his life to earn his money. Who knows, one day his head might be removed from his body. Because of this, Niu Fuyong would wantonly squander the money he earned. He was happy every day. It was rare for a person like Lu Yiwei to be greedy, which made Niu Fuyong feel admiration for him.
What touched him the most was that when Lu Yiwei first came to Beihe Town for Chinese New Year, he actually prepared a gift for each of his family members. He bought him a leather coat, a set of cosmetics for his wife, a book for his children, and a massage chair for his mother. This was the first time in his life that someone gave him a gift. Niu Fuyong cried on the spot. Although the gift was light, it sincerely touched Niu Fuyong's fragile heart, and it also made the relationship between the two closer.
Lu Yiwei's principle of making friends was to put himself in someone else's shoes. His sincerity was in line with the forthright Niu Fuyong's temperament. Whenever Niu Fuyong had troubles or encountered difficulties, he would always look for Lu Yiwei to talk and listen to his opinion.
Xu Qingshan once asked Niu Fuyong probingly, "Lu Yiwei is just a broken cotton-padded jacket that has been abandoned by others. He is useless to you, so why do you care so much about him?"
Niu Fuyong chuckled, "A broken jacket can also be warm, and it can even warm the heart. Sometimes, it is even warmer than a new jacket."
Later on, no matter what kind of sarcastic remarks others made, Niu Fuyong would only smile indifferently and remain silent. In his heart, Lu Yiwei was a man.
When Lu Yiwei heard that Niu Fuyong was trying to persuade him to cooperate with him again, he smiled and said, "I'm different from you. I still have a curse on my head. People who are in politics can't be in business. My orchard is still under the name Li Haidong. Now that the orchard has just started to improve, the jealous people have already started to give me eye medicine, hoping that I will fall again and become a dog in the water. If I were to join you, those people would definitely skin me alive. "
Niu Fuyong tilted his head back and drank a glass of red wine. He said rather angrily, "I don't know what you're thinking. They have already demoted you again and again to that mountain ridge in Dongwa Village. You still let them stand on your head and piss on you. You still work for them. What are you after? I said I would find some connections to help you transfer out, but you refused. If it was me, I would have quit long ago. I would have done it myself. I could eat and drink whenever I wanted. How free would that be? "
