"Just say it. I can handle it." Lu Yiwei had already accepted it. Since he had to face it anyway, he might as well face it calmly.
Shi Xiaoman bit her lip and said, "Then when are you free?"
"This … I'm not sure, really. Maybe another day!" Lu Yiwei was upset.
"Then I'll wait for you!" Shi Xiaoman did not comfort Lu Yiwei. She hung up in a hurry. Lu Yiwei threw his phone on the coffee table and crossed his legs. He could not figure out Shi Xiaoman's thoughts.
When it came to Shi Xiaoman, he had been moved by her at a specific time and in a specific environment, but after that, he no longer had the same thoughts. Although there had been physical contact, it was all after drinking. Little did he know that it was also that time that planted a seed in Shi Xiaoman's heart. It gradually grew every day, and her longing for Lu Yiwei became more and more intense.
Lu Yiwei was not in the mood to think about this. He looked at his watch. There was still some time before he got off work. He wanted to call Xia Jinhe, but he gave up the idea after picking up his phone. With nothing to do, he walked around the room irritably. When he saw the computer that had not been turned on for a long time, he bent down and pressed the power button.
When he was in college, he was particularly interested in the novelty of computers. Computer classes were his favorite, and he could not wait to take them. However, ever since he started working, he was busy with work. How could he have free time to sit down and play on the computer? It was a luxury.
He opened the web to check all kinds of news out of boredom. He accidentally saw a piece of news about the Tong Ya Group and curiously browsed through it.
The Tong Ya Group's investment in building a cement factory in Nanyang was a project that Su Qiming was in charge of. Zhang Zhiyuan rarely asked about it, so Lu Yiwei was too lazy to care about it. He did not even know the origin of the Tong Ya Group. He had only heard about it from others.
The news was very brief. It said that the Tong Ya Group had invested in the construction of a highway in Nanjiang Province had been completed and officially put into use. There was also a photo of the local leader and the boss of the Tong Ya Group. It was fine if he did not look at it, but he could see the problem at first glance. It read: "Deputy General Manager of Tong Ya Group, Zhou Yaru..."
Although Lu Yiwei had not attended the first meeting of the Tong Ya Group in Nanyang, he had seen it on television. He clearly remembered that the leader who had attended the meeting was also named Zhou Yaru, but it was clearly not the same person as the Zhou Yaru in the photo.
"Did I see wrongly?" Lu Yiwei asked suspiciously. Lu Yiwei was too lazy to think about it. In any case, it had nothing to do with him. Just let him be. Lu Yiwei then browsed through other news.
At this time, he saw an advertisement about the treatment of psoriasis in a very small corner. Thinking of Chu Chu, he clicked it with curiosity.
It was an advertisement for a hospital. It boasted about the equipment from the United States, the first-class doctors, the guaranteed treatment, and no relapse. Lu Yiwei couldn't help but think of the advertisements on the streets. It was exactly the same.
Thinking of Chuchu, Lu Yiwei's heart tightened. Zhang Zhiyuan couldn't come out for the time being, and the child's illness couldn't be delayed, but what could he do? The people he knew in university were a bunch of liberal arts students, and the field of medicine was a blank. Taking ten thousand steps back, the most he knew was the barefoot doctor, Xu Banxian.
"Xu Banxian?" Thinking of Xu Banxian, Lu Yiwei's eyes lit up. That's right, how could I forget about him? He planned to look for Xu Banxian tomorrow. This "otherworldly expert" was hidden deeply. Maybe he had some secret recipe that could cure Chuchu's illness.
"Knock knock …" There was a knock on the door.
Lu Yiwei turned off the computer and asked, "Who is it?"
The other party did not say anything, so Lu Yiwei had to get up and open the door. He saw an ugly face.
"What? My great Chief Lu, hiding here and having fun! "He Xiaotian had an evil smile on his face as he poked his head into the room.
"What's the matter?" Lu Yiwei said in disgust.
"What? Can't I have a chat with you? " He Xiaotian strode into the room and sat on the sofa. He crossed his legs and said, "I can't drink tea here, right? You don't even allow me to smoke?"
Lu Yiwei said coldly, "I'm sorry, I quit smoking."
"Yo!" He Xiaotian said, "This County Zhang is in jail, not you. Why do you need to quit smoking? Here, I'll give you a cigarette. "He Xiaotian took out a cigarette and passed it to Lu Yiwei.
"Please speak with respect!" Lu Yiwei said sternly. "County Zhang is cooperating with the investigation."
"That's not the same!" He Xiaotian looked at Lu Yiwei and said, "I say, Lu Yiwei, you're really something. You've served two County Heads, and both of them had problems. I wonder if it's their problem or yours!"
"Get out! I don't welcome you here. "Lu Yiwei pointed at the door.
He Xiaotian smiled and said, "Why are you so angry? Another County Head will be appointed soon. I think it'll be your turn again. When that time comes, you'll really become Lu Bu, haha …"
The last time Lu Yiwei went to see Su Qiming, he mocked He Xiaotian for being Lu Bu. Lu Yiwei did not expect He Xiaotian to use the same trick on him. Lu Bu had changed bosses several times and was scolded by his descendants as a slave of three surnames. Comparing someone to Lu Bu was as ironic as cursing one's ancestors.
Lu Yiwei clenched his fists, his eyes spitting fire. He had long wanted to beat this bastard up. "F * ck you!" After cursing, Lu Yiwei punched and kicked He Xiaotian, turning him into a panda's eye.
The staff working downstairs heard the commotion upstairs and rushed up. When they saw He Xiaotian moaning on the floor, they felt extremely satisfied.
He Xiaotian had been arrogant since Liu Kecheng's era. He looked down on everyone, not to mention Luoluo. During Su Qiming's era, he became Su Qiming's secretary and became even more arrogant.
"Hah! Lu Yiwei, you dare hit me? Just you wait, I'll teach you a lesson! "He Xiaotian stumbled to his feet and picked up the teacup on the table, ready to throw it at Lu Yiwei. Lu Yiwei saw this and kicked He Xiaotian's abdomen. He Xiaotian fell to the ground again.
"What are you doing?!" Government Office Director Li Jianwei rushed up and said angrily, "Yiwei, are you crazy? Fighting in the County party committee's building, aren't you afraid of being laughed at? "
Lu Yiwei had already thrown caution to the wind. He said nonchalantly, "This is the only way to deal with bastards like him. So what if it gets out? They can say whatever they want! "
"Enough!" Li Jianwei shouted and looked at He Xiaotian with disgust, "What are you doing here?!"
He Xiaotian covered his cheeks and said, "Li Jianwei, if you want to uphold justice, then call the police. If you're going to stand here and make sarcastic remarks, then scram!"
Li Jianwei wasn't someone to be trifled with. He said, "He Xiaotian, don't be so shameless. Who do you think you are? You're nothing in the eyes of others!"
"Nice to meet you!" He Xiaotian said, "How did you become the Government Office Director? Others might not know, but you think that I don't? Let me tell you, your good days are coming to an end! "
When the others saw this, they felt their hands itching. If it wasn't for the fact that their ranks were low, they would have beaten him up long ago. They all criticized He Xiaotian for not knowing what's good for him, causing public anger.
At this moment, the County party committee's Director Dong Guoping also ran over and reprimanded He Xiaotian before shoving him away. After the others left, he said, "Mayor Su wants you to go over now. Come with me."
After locking the door, Lu Yiwei followed Dong Guoping to the hotel. Before he could even enter, He Xiaotian had already rushed over to complain.
Since it had already come to this, Lu Yiwei didn't care anymore. He swaggered in and sat on the sofa, listening to He Xiaotian's pestering.
"Scram!" Before He Xiaotian could finish, Su Qiming pointed at the door and shouted.
He Xiaotian's mouth opened wide in shock. He didn't expect Su Qiming to stand on Lu Yiwei's side. He covered his cheeks and walked out dejectedly.
"Stand up! Did I say you could sit? "Su Qiming shouted at Lu Yiwei.
Lu Yiwei stood up indifferently. His eyes wandered, not looking at Su Qiming.
Su Qiming looked at Lu Yiwei with complicated feelings. After a long time, he said in a calm tone, "Speak. What do you plan to do next?"
Lu Yiwei gave up and said, "What can I do? I'll listen to Mayor Su's decision."
Another period of silence. Su Qiming thought for a long time and said, "Come to my side. I need you."
Lu Yiwei raised his head and looked at Su Qiming. He said in disbelief, "What did you say?"
Su Qiming said, "I don't want to use He Xiaotian for a long time. I want you to be my secretary. You know that my stay in Nanyang is only temporary. I might return to the city next year. How about you come with me?"
This was a very tempting offer! Xia Jinhe kept asking Lu Yiwei to work in the city. If he followed Su Qiming, he could go back easily. Moreover, he would be treated well.
Seeing Lu Yiwei's hesitation, Su Qiming said, "Putting aside your relationship with Su Meng, I think you're a good person. As long as you're willing, not only will you not be implicated because of Zhang Zhiyuan, I will also promote you to Section Chief. Next year, when you return to the city, you will be promoted another level. Work for me for two years, and I will directly send you to the grassroots level to be a deputy county magistrate. That won't be a problem. "
"Why do you want to do this?" Lu Yiwei asked.
"Do I need a reason?" Su Qiming asked back. "If you really want a reason, I can only say that Su Meng's grandfather likes you very much. He wants me to take care of you. Also, I know from many aspects that you can do it. It's that simple!"
"Then how do you plan to deal with County Magistrate Bai?" Lu Yiwei suddenly asked.
Su Qiming's face instantly darkened. He said, "We're talking about you now. Let's put the others aside. How Bai Yuxin is dealt with is the city's matter. I have no right to decide. "
"What about Qin Erbao? Will you let him go? "Lu Yiwei asked again.
Su Qiming walked in front of Lu Yiwei and said, "Don't you think that talking to me like this is very presumptuous?"
Lu Yiwei sneered. "In your eyes, am I a chess piece?"
