Lu Yiwei looked at his watch. It was almost noon, so he took out his phone and called the number on his laptop.
"Hello, who is this?" Li Xiaochuan was drafting a speech for Guo Jinzhu when he saw an unfamiliar number. He did not want to pick it up at first, but he still picked it up after some hesitation.
Lu Yiwei cleared his throat and said, "Brother Xiaochuan, I'm Lu Yiwei from Nanyang County. Do you still remember me?"
"Which Lu Yiwei?" Li Xiaochuan thought carefully but still could not remember.
Lu Yiwei did not know how to answer this question. If he said he was Mayor Chu's secretary, Li Xiaochuan would definitely remember him. However, that would make him recall what happened in the past and leave a bad impression. He might even refuse to meet him. Lu Yiwei thought for a while and answered, "A friend of Niu Fuyong."
As expected, when Li Xiaochuan heard Niu Fuyong's name, he covered the phone and said softly, "Wait for me." After that, there was the sound of a chair being dragged and a series of footsteps. When it was quiet, Li Xiaochuan said in a low voice, "What's up?"
Lu Yiwei tried his best to be concise. "Niu Fuyong is in a bit of trouble now. I have to meet you now. Is that okay?"
Li Xiaochuan immediately understood that he wanted to meet Secretary Guo of the Municipal Party Committee. After thinking for a while, he said, "Where are you now?"
Lu Yiwei heard that there was a chance and said, "I'm opposite the Municipal Party Committee's compound."
"Drive the car to the alley behind Bei Zhou No. 2 High School. I'll be there in a moment," Li Xiaochuan said cautiously.
Following Li Xiaochuan's instructions, Lu Yiwei drove the car to the designated location. After waiting for about ten minutes, a tall, skinny man in a suit walked over, looking around.
Lu Yiwei knew the rules of officialdom. He did not get out of the car and honked. As expected, Li Xiaochuan looked around and got into the car.
Because of the money transaction, Lu Yiwei sent Li Haidong aside and put the envelope with 5,000 yuan in his coat pocket.
Li Xiaochuan felt that Lu Yiwei looked familiar. He pointed at Lu Yiwei and said, "You are, you are?"
Lu Yiwei smiled helplessly and said, "You guessed it right. I was Chu Yunchi's secretary."
"Oh, I remember now. We had dinner together a few times. Are you still working for Director Chu?" Li Xiaochuan asked.
As mentioned earlier, Chu Yunchi was now the director of the Beizhou City's Cultural Bureau. Lu Yiwei shook his head and said, "A grassroots cadre."
"Oh, why are you looking for me?" Li Xiaochuan didn't want to care about Lu Yiwei's situation, so he went straight to the point.
Lu Yiwei briefly explained Niu Fuyong's situation and explained the severity of the situation.
After listening to it, Li Xiaochuan said with difficulty, "Secretary Guo has to eat with a guest at noon and has two meetings in the afternoon. After the meetings, he has to go to the provincial capital for a business trip. He doesn't have time to see you. How about this, I'll pass on the message for you. "
Seeing that Li Xiaochuan didn't understand Niu Fuyong's situation, Lu Yiwei took out the envelope from his pocket and shook Li Xiaochuan's hand. "Brother Xiaochuan, Niu Fuyong is really in trouble this time. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come all the way to find you. For the sake of your many years of friendship, please let me see Secretary Guo. Please!" Lu Yiwei said in a pleading tone.
Li Xiaochuan guessed how much money was in the envelope. He secretly pinched it with his pinky and ring fingers and felt that it was thick. He pretended to think for a while and said, "How about this, Secretary Guo has to go home after lunch. There's a 'Fu Lai Ke' teahouse on the way to his house. You go there and wait in the first room on the second floor. I'll think of a way to bring Secretary Guo there."
After saying that, he put the money in his pocket. Judging from Li Xiaochuan's proficiency, Guo Jinzhu must have a fixed place and a fixed routine every time he met a guest. Lu Yiwei suddenly wanted to laugh, but he held it back. He still said gratefully, "Then I'll leave it to you, Brother Xiaochuan. I'll definitely hold a banquet for you later. I hope you'll come."
"Sure, sure. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first. Secretary Guo will be home around 2 o 'clock. Remember to make good use of the time. "Li Xiaochuan reminded. After getting out of the car, he looked around with shifty eyes and quietly slipped away.
