Lighting his cigarette, Lu Yiwei replied, "I'm calculating it based on the actual expenses. I don't want to take advantage of the company."
Raising her head, Yao Na couldn't help looking at Lu Yiwei in a new light. If it was someone else, they would definitely be more than willing to be reimbursed. It was a project that cost ¥400,000, yet he dared to claim ¥600,000. On the other hand, Lu Yiwei was a gentleman, so he must be someone capable of doing great things. "Alright. According to the procedures, this project of yours still needs to go through many complicated procedures, so I'll help you with it. Just provide me with your account number, and I'll transfer the money to your account as soon as possible. "
Standing up from his seat, Lu Yiwei wrote down his bank card on a piece of paper and handed it to Yao Na. "I'll have to trouble you, Supervisor Yao."
After they got down to business, Yao Na packed her things and asked, "Yiwei, have you contacted Jinhe recently? Have you visited her? "
"I've been too busy recently, so I haven't been able to." Lu Yiwei bitterly smiled.
Yao Na's expression suddenly changed, and she said, "Lu Yiwei, this is your fault. The two of you have just established a relationship, how can you do this? The relationship between the two of you needs to be nurtured. Have you thought about what Jinhe will think if you continue like this? "
After being reprimanded by Yao Na, Lu Yiwei felt that he had done something wrong, so he immediately nodded his head. "Big Sister Na, you're right. I'll definitely take the time to visit her."
"What's the point of visiting her?" Yao Na said, "On the surface, Jinhe looks like a gentle, modest, independent, and self-reliant girl. In fact, she needs someone to care for her and warm her heart. You know her family situation, not to mention that she doesn't have many friends. So you have to put in more effort for her. You don't have to seek romance, but you have to give her some warmth in life. Don't always use work as an excuse. This is an important matter in your life, so you should think about it. "
"Alright. I'll visit her tonight if I'm free." Lu Yiwei took a puff of his cigarette.
Yao Na looked at the calendar on the table and said, "What a coincidence, tomorrow is Saturday. Let me give you an idea. You can go to her school this afternoon and stay nearby. Then, you can accompany her home tomorrow morning and meet her family. That way, you can get to know her family. "
"This …" Lu Yiwei was embarrassed. "Is this appropriate?"
"What's wrong with that?" Yao Na said, "How old are you guys? Do you still think you're in your twenties? Both of you are not young anymore. If you think that both parties are suitable, you should meet their parents as soon as possible and settle this matter. "
Lu Yiwei made up his mind. "Alright, I'll listen to you."
Yao Na's eyebrows relaxed. She smiled and said, "Lu Yiwei, why do I feel that you are a little uneasy in front of Xia Jinhe? Do you feel inferior?"
Lu Yiwei blushed and said, "I do feel a little inferior. With Xia Jinhe's qualifications, she can easily find anyone. As for me, my education isn't as high as hers. My family lives in the county, and I'm divorced. Do you think I can stand up to her? "
Yao Na said, "I have already told Xia Jinhe about your situation. She said that she doesn't care about you. What are you worried about? Furthermore, you guys have already confirmed your relationship. What's the point of talking about this? "
"What if her family doesn't agree?" Lu Yiwei threw out the most important question.
"This …" Yao Na was stumped by the question. After a while, she said, "Her mother is a retired teacher. She's reasonable and has a good character. I don't think it will be a problem. Furthermore, I think everything will be fine as long as Jinhe's family agrees. You're overthinking it. "
"Alright." Lu Yiwei extinguished his cigarette and stood up. "I'll apply for leave in the afternoon."
Before Lu Yiwei left, Yao Na reminded him again. "Women like romance. If you give Jinhe a small surprise, your relationship will improve. Hehe."
Lu Yiwei made a face at Yao Na and closed the door.
Yao Na returned to her desk and stared blankly at the scenery outside the window. Her mind, however, was filled with Lu Yiwei's handsome appearance and elegant behavior.
At noon, Zhang Zhisong, the director of the Urban Construction Bureau, and Song Yong invited Lu Yiwei for lunch. As Song Yong was still suspended, they hoped that Lu Yiwei could speak in front of County Zhang and drink to his heart's content.
After lunch, Lu Yiwei did not go home. Instead, he went back to his office to take a nap. In a daze, his phone rang. He opened his eyes and saw an unknown number. He picked it up.
"Is this Director Lu? I'm Pan Chengjun. "Pan Chengjun said on the other side of the phone.
Lu Yiwei sat up immediately. He was not sleepy at all. He asked eagerly, "How's the situation?"
Pan Chengjun said, "I've talked to my fellow countryman about the situation. The worker is from Tongyuan County in Xi Province. His name is Pang Dongzi."
"Can you find him?" Lu Yiwei asked.
"That's a little difficult, but I've already sent my countryman to look for him." Pan Chengjun said.
Hearing that Pan Chengjun was one step ahead, he said with relief, "Alright, find him as soon as possible. Also, tell your countryman to be careful."
"Alright." Pan Chengjun said, "Director Lu, I've also verified what you asked me the other day. Xu Xiaokang is indeed dead, but the time of his death is unknown."
"Oh." Lu Yiwei said absentmindedly, "Got it. Return to Jiangdong City as soon as possible. Do not expose your whereabouts. Do you understand? "
Lu Yiwei hung up and sat there blankly. He did not know how to tell his family and Pan Qingqing the bad news. After thinking for a long time, he decided to delay it as long as possible. He did not want his family to be sad.
Lu Yiwei lay down again. Just as he closed his eyes, he heard the sound of leather shoes clanking in the corridor. Lu Yiwei pricked up his ears. After confirming that it was Zhang Zhiyuan, he quickly got up and walked out.
When Zhang Zhiyuan saw Lu Yiwei, he asked with concern, "You didn't come back in the afternoon?"
Lu Yiwei said, "I had lunch with Director Zhang of the Urban Construction Bureau. It was late after lunch, so I didn't come back."
Zhang Zhiyuan had already smelled the alcohol on Lu Yiwei. He knew that he was not lying, so he acknowledged him and went into the office.
Lu Yiwei carefully made tea for Zhang Zhiyuan. After thinking about it, he finally mustered the courage to talk about Song Yong.
"He looked for you?" Zhang Zhiyuan blew on the tea and asked.
"That's not entirely true. It's mainly because after the incident that day, Song Yong was busy accompanying you until the project was completed. In fact, he's not a bad person. I hope that Magistrate Zhang can give him a chance." Lu Yiwei did not dare to look at Zhang Zhiyuan when he spoke. This was the first time he asked Zhang Zhiyuan for help, and it was related to human affairs.
That day, Zhang Zhiyuan had exonerated Song Yong in front of so many people to serve as a warning to others. Now, Lu Yiwei was pleading on his behalf. If he agreed, where would his face be? Would he still have any credibility? If he did not agree, he would not be giving face to Lu Yiwei, and Zhang Zhiyuan would be in a dilemma.
Seeing that Zhang Zhiyuan did not speak, Lu Yiwei quickly said, "County Zhang, you are in need of manpower now. I think Song Yong is worth fighting for."
Zhang Zhiyuan still did not speak and continued to drink his tea. After a long time, he said, "Ask Song Yong to come to my office now."
Lu Yiwei knew that Zhang Zhiyuan had made his decision, so he quickly said, "I will go now."
After leaving Zhang Zhiyuan's office, Lu Yiwei entered his own office and closed the door. He quickly called Song Yong. Song Yong drank too much in the afternoon and was sleeping soundly. When he heard that County Zhang was calling him, he almost fell off the bed and stammered, "I will go now."
Ten minutes later, Song Yong climbed up with a red face and was panting. Lu Yiwei was already waiting for him at the staircase. When he saw Song Yong's embarrassed look, he dragged him into his office and poured a basin of water for him to wash up before entering.
After Song Yong entered, Lu Yiwei sat on the sofa anxiously and kept glancing at Zhang Zhiyuan's office while looking at his watch.
The conversation was very short, only ten minutes or so, but Lu Yiwei felt like a few hours had passed. Song Yong walked out drenched in sweat and entered Lu Yiwei's office. He closed the door and grabbed Lu Yiwei's hand. "Brother Lu, I will remember this favor. Thank you."
Seeing that everything was going well, Lu Yiwei heaved a sigh of relief. "What are you thanking me for? We still have a long way to go." A difficult task was easily accomplished by Lu Yiwei because he was close to the center of power. Song Yong once again felt the magic of power.
Song Yong had complete trust in Lu Yiwei. "Brother, after this incident, I understand. Let's not talk too much. Let's see what happens in the future."
After sending Song Yong off, Lu Yiwei sat on the sofa in relief. Finally, one thing was done. He felt that this Song Yong was worth fighting for. This view was fully verified later on, adding a pair of wings to Lu Yiwei's official career, and he made a great contribution.
Today was Friday. In the afternoon, the leaders in other counties had gone home for Sunday. The leaders in the county also went to play mahjong. At around 4pm, after Zhang Zhiyuan left, the staff of the County party committee also left in a hurry. In a short while, the entire County party committee became deserted.
Lu Yiwei stayed for the last 15 minutes before packing up and leaving. When he got home, Lu Yiwei took a shower and changed into a clean set of clothes. He was ready to go to the city.
When Lu Yiwei left, Liu Cuilan asked. "You're not having dinner at home? Where are you going to fool around? "
Lu Yiwei turned around and smiled. "I'm not having dinner. I'm going to look for a wife for you."
Lu Yiwei's words were exactly what Liu Cuilan was thinking. She quickly pushed him out of the door. "Then go quickly. It's best if you can bring her back tomorrow."
Lu Yiwei joked. "The mother of Er Nizi next door has already asked her daughter to marry me. Should I go look for her? I can bring her back tonight. "
Liu Cuilan glared at him. Then, she looked next door and whispered. "Can't you lower your voice? She might hear you. We don't dare to touch her daughter. Don't make fun of your mother's poverty. Go quickly. "
"Let's go!" Lu Yiwei was very happy thinking that he could see Xia Jinhe soon. He jumped out of the house like a child, started the car, and ran away.
