Sanjo felt that Lu Yiwei had gone overboard and said, "Isn't it just asking him to buy some things for me? It's nothing. I promise to return it to you in one piece."
Lu Yiwei quickly took out his phone and called Pan Chengjun. Fortunately, Pan Chengjun's phone was still connected. After picking it up, Lu Yiwei said in an almost commanding tone, "Old Pan, come back quickly after buying the things. Remember, don't talk to strangers." At this juncture, Pan Chengjun was an important magic weapon for them to cut the Erbao Coal Mine. If he were to be lost, he really did not know how to explain it to Zhang Zhiyuan.
"Alright, Yiwei, aren't you being too cautious? Old Pan has been here for so long, and nothing has happened to him. What can happen? I will take care of everything. Don't worry. "Sanjo comforted him.
"I hope so." Lu Yiwei sighed and said, "Sanjo, I was a little anxious just now, and my tone was a little harsh. Please don't take offense."
"What are you talking about!" Sanjo said calmly, "We have been brothers for so many years. You are treating me like an outsider. How about it? The restaurant will be open on August 18th. Bring your sister-in-law over to support us! I heard that your sister-in-law is a returnee from America. Just nice! Have a taste of my western food and give me some valuable advice. "
"Sure!" Lu Yiwei smiled and said, "I promise to come over!"
"Great!" Sanjo clapped his hands and said, "When the time comes, I will hold a grand opening ceremony and call all our university classmates over. We can also get together."
"No problem. What do you need to do?"
"No need. I will be happy if they come over," Sanjo said.
Lu Yiwei raised his arm and looked at his watch and said, "Alright, if there is nothing else, I will go back first. There are still a lot of things to do in the county."
"Stay and have lunch together before you leave?" Sanjo urged him to stay.
"No, next time."
It was already past 11 o 'clock when he returned to Nanyang County. Lu Yiwei did not go to work and dragged his tired body home. After entering the door, before he could catch his breath, his mother, Liu Cuilan, hurriedly asked, "How is it? Did you get the marriage certificate? "
"What certificate? Yesterday was Sunday, Jinhe said tomorrow." Lu Yiwei was so tired that he lay on the sofa and closed his eyes to rest.
"Why tomorrow again?" Liu Cuilan said to herself and then urged Lu Yiwei, "Yiwei, let me tell you, you have to hurry on this matter. Don't miss this good girl. Your dad and I really like Jinhe. After you get the marriage certificate, quickly arrange for the two families to meet and finalize the marriage … "
"Hoo hoo …" Before Liu Cuilan could finish, Lu Yiwei was already snoring. She had no choice but to swallow the words she wanted to say. She took a blanket from the inner room and covered her son with it.
In his sleep, Lu Yiwei dreamed that the deputy mayor, Su Qiming, was furious at him and accused him of forcing Su Meng to this point. Then, Su Meng could not take the blow and jumped down from the building … Xia Jinhe somehow found out about this and insisted that the child in Su Meng's stomach was his. He argued with him and wanted to break up … Li Shu-man also joined in and accused him of not caring about the child. She shouted that if Lu Yiwei dared to get married, she would jump into the river …
Scenes flashed through Lu Yiwei's mind like a movie. He tried his best to save everyone, but in the end, they all left him. He was the only one left standing by the seaside, looking at the setting sun as it walked further and further away …
"Yiwei, it's time to eat!" Liu Cuilan walked over and pushed Lu Yiwei, bringing him back to reality from his dream. He was relieved when he realized that it was just a dream. He got up and went to the bathroom to wash his face. Only then did he wake up.
"Where's my dad?" Lu Yiwei asked when he did not see Lu Weiguo.
"He went back to his hometown. He planted some potatoes at home, so he went back to take a look," Liu Cuilan said as she scooped rice.
"Tell my dad not to work so hard. The potatoes he planted are not even enough for his travel expenses," Lu Yiwei said.
"Who cares, as long as he's happy. He's old, and he doesn't have a child by his side. He can't stay idle. Just let him be. " Liu Cuilan began to nag again, "Yiwei, you have to hurry up and get married and have a child. We are still in good health, so we can help you raise the child. In a few years, when we're too old to move, we'll become your burden. "
"Mom, you're getting off topic." Lu Yiwei said, "How old are you? Why are you saying such depressing things? Don't worry, when you're old, I'll be by your side. I won't go anywhere, and I'll focus on taking care of you two."
Liu Cuilan had mixed feelings. She brought the rice to Lu Yiwei and said with relief, "Mom believes in you. You and Lingling are both good kids. Sigh! The person I feel the most apologetic about in my life is Xiaofeng. If I can see him when I die, I won't have any regrets in my life. " Speaking of her lost second son, Lu Yifeng, Liu Cuilan's heart was in turmoil. She blamed herself over and over again.
All these years, the family had never given up on the idea of looking for Lu Yifeng. But China was so big. Looking for a person was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
"Mom, don't worry. As long as I have the chance, I'll find him. Let's eat first. The rice is getting cold." Lu Yiwei quickly changed the topic.
"Sigh! Let's eat! "
After eating, Lu Yiwei rested for a while and then hurried to the County party committee's compound. On the third floor, County Head Zhang Zhiyuan's room door was closed. Lu Yiwei listened for a while, and when there was no movement, he returned to his office.
After making tea and lighting a cigarette, the first thing Lu Yiwei did was sit in front of his desk and read the newspapers for the past two days. The headline on the second page of Xijiang Daily was about Nanyang County. The title was, "Nanyang in the midst of reform – Breaking through corporate restructuring to solve development problems." The article skipped over the contract between Baitai and Shuyang Coal Mine. Instead, it focused on the corporate restructuring that Nanyang had done this year.
The last paragraph read, "Nanyang in the midst of reform is like a phoenix rising from the ashes and rising from the ashes. Like a warship full of ideas, it faces the rising sun and sets sail with the east wind of reform. Corporate restructuring is only a sharp sword for the county to vigorously develop its economy, and this sharp sword is also an important magic weapon to solve development problems. This is in line with the development goals determined by the Provincial Party Committee and the provincial government. We have reason to believe that Nanyang County, with its unique regional advantages, has innovative thinking, faces difficulties, and walks out of its own development path. The 'Nanyang model' will become a model for our province's reform, a speedboat on the road of Xijiang Province, and a positive contribution to building a beautiful Xijiang well and quickly. "
The last paragraph's evaluation of Nanyang was extremely high. Not only did it cater to the superiors' taste, but it also pushed Nanyang to a new height. In particular, the "Nanyang model" was calmly introduced at the end. It was really throwing a brick to attract jade, and it was the finishing touch. This also provided Nanyang County with room for innovation in the future development. If it could really break out of its own development path, then the "Nanyang model" brand would really be famous.
Lu Yiwei sighed. It was a very common thing, but in the hands of the reporters, it rose to another level. The writing was vigorous and full of life, and it was really admirable. He was glad that he had made the right decision.
Li Jianwei, the director of the government office, gave him 200,000 yuan to do publicity. Lu Yiwei did not hesitate to give 50,000 yuan to the reporter of Xijiang Daily, hoping that he would put in more good words for him. Now it seemed that the money was really well spent! He believed that the city leaders, and even the provincial leaders, would see it. Even if it was just a glance, at least "Nanyang County" would be remembered in their minds. Next, he had to seize the time to organize articles and strive to publish the "Nanyang model" in the Internal Reference.
After reading Xijiang Daily, Lu Yiwei picked up Beizhou Daily and browsed through it. It was also on the second page, but the angle of the report was completely different. The title was "Baitai Company and Shuyang Coal Mine Signed a Corporate Restructuring Agreement." The title was ordinary, and the article was more like a running account, without any substance. After reading the whole article, it felt that there was a ceremony, and there was no mention of other achievements. Instead, it mentioned the matter of attracting investment. It was irrelevant, and it made people not know whether to laugh or cry. What was even more unbelievable was that the enterprise restructuring mentioned in the article was a project led by Deputy Mayor Su Qiming after he came to Nanyang to preside over the work. It completely erased the credit of the County Head, Zhang Zhiyuan.
It could be seen that when Beizhou Daily reported the news, it was more inclined to Deputy Mayor Su Qiming.
It was said that the media was a barometer of a place's development, and it was also a propaganda tool to highlight the power struggle. Public opinion was scary, and it could invisibly guide people's habitual thinking. Black could be called white, and black could be inverted. It was very common for the media to use it freely and skillfully. Once it became a situation of condemnation, even if you had ten mouths, it would not be able to make up for the words in black and white.
Now, the Shuyang Coal Mine had temporarily come to an end. After Baitai Company took over, it followed the county's established distribution and placement plan. As the county government took out 10% of the shares to give to the workers, it could be considered as fighting for greater benefits for the workers. It was also because of this generous offer that the Shuyang Coal Mine's workers did not have any incidents of skipping the ranks to petition the higher-ups. The transition was very smooth, which was rare in the process of reform.
From this, it could be seen that the people were simple, not unruly, not stubborn, and definitely not standing on the opposite side of the reform. Their wish was very simple, as long as their interests were satisfied. And in the current process of reform, the people were often forced to the opposite side, and there were many petitions to the higher-ups, even some extreme actions. The reason was that they had forgotten the party's purpose – to serve the people wholeheartedly.
After solving the interests of the workers, there was only the middle-level and above leaders left. This was a very big problem. According to Baitai Company, after taking over the Shuyang Coal Mine, the county government could not participate in the management, and all the existing management personnel (except for technical personnel) would be replaced by Baitai Company. The conditions they proposed were either a one-time compensation, or the county would coordinate and solve the problem.
The Deputy Mayor Bai Yuxin's answer was that the county would solve the problem. After seeking the opinions of the middle-level leaders of the coal mine, most of them were willing to return to the system, even if they were just ordinary workers.
When this problem was placed in front of Zhang Zhiyuan, he also fell into deep thought. It was indeed a little difficult to arrange for more than 20 people at once. After a few rounds of discussion, there was no conclusion. But Lu Yiwei's idea made Zhang Zhiyuan suddenly see the light. Lu Yiwei said, "These people all have experience in coal mine management. Why not set up a coal mine safety training center and let them conduct safety training for all the coal mine workers in the county?"
