Time flew, and in the blink of an eye, more than half a month had passed. Lu Yiwei happily avoided trouble and spent a rare reunion with his parents in more than ten years. During this period, Chuchu's condition was miraculously improved under Xu Banxian's care. Although there were still faint reddish-brown scars, her skin had become smooth. It had to be said that Lu Yiwei had won the bet this time.
From this, Xu Banxian deduced that Chuchu's psoriasis was most likely caused by the internal fire. He asked Lu Yiwei to buy saffron from the Tibetan medicine store in the provincial capital to continue to remove the internal fire and consolidate the treatment. Chuchu also seemed to have changed into a different person. She became lively. The first thing she did when she woke up every day was to look in the mirror to observe the changes in herself. Then, she ran crazily with the puppy all over the mountains and plains.
In addition, the relationship between Xie Yufen and Chuchu also eased a lot. After Chuchu got better, Xie Yufen simply stayed and enjoyed this hard-won happiness. Xie Yufen also changed a lot. She put down her pride and went to the fields with Lu Yiwei's family to peel corn, dig potatoes, and pick beans. The worried look on her face was gone, replaced by a very bright smile.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the last trace of heat of summer left, and the cool autumn season followed. The people hung the last string of corn on the eaves and began to pickle the salted vegetables for the winter. The arrival of winter meant that another year was about to pass.
During this period, the person that Lu Yiwei was most concerned about was undoubtedly Zhang Zhiyuan. But there was only a few words about him, and there was no other news about him. Bai Yuxin told him that Guo Jinzhu tried to find a way to see Zhang Zhiyuan. He was fine, but the investigation about him was still going on. As for when it would end, it was unknown.
Waiting was a kind of torture. It was like walking into the hospital and the doctor said that you were sick, but they couldn't find out what kind of disease it was. It made people wait for so long that they couldn't see any hope. It seemed that Zhang Zhiyuan had completely offended Tian Chunqiu, the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. He would not stop until he caused some trouble.
The article about the "Nanyang Model" published in Xijiang Daily last time did not seem to have any effect. It did not attract the attention of the relevant leaders. Instead, it angered some people and accelerated the chain reaction of events. Lu Yiwei regretted his lack of composure, but since things had already come to this point, it was useless to say anything else. As for the matter of paying a huge price to get University Professor Cai Runnian on the Internal Reference Manual, there was still no news about it. It was like a stone sinking into the sea, with no news at all. Lu Yiwei had completely given up. He no longer held any hope.
There was no news from Zhang Zhiyuan's side, but Su Qiming's side was very lively. Su Qiming did not go back on his word. He stayed in Shiwan Village almost every day to supervise and direct the battle. Under such a high-pressure situation, the progress was naturally smooth. All the farmers involved in the expropriation of land signed the expropriation compensation agreement within a week, which bought time for the construction of the cement factory. At the same time, under the sponsorship of Qin Erbao, dozens of forklifts and construction vehicles were stationed at the construction site, flattening the crops that the people had not yet harvested. Shiwan Village suddenly became a huge construction site, with vehicles coming and going every day. The progress of the project was orderly as Su Qiming had hoped.
In addition, Nanyang TV Station had almost become the TV station of Shiwan Village. Every day, it took turns to broadcast the importance and necessity of the construction of the cement factory, as well as the progress of the construction of the cement factory. It also dug deep into the touching stories that had emerged during the construction process. Nanyang Daily had also become the exclusive page of Shiwan Village. It was prominent and reported every day. The tone of the report was always Su Qiming's pointing out, requesting, emphasizing, and emphasizing … It used an extremely tough tone to convey Su Qiming's various instructions. The construction of the cement factory had become the most important project in Nanyang County.
Comparing Su Qiming and Zhang Zhiyuan, one could see that their work methods were completely opposite. The former liked to create momentum and use a high-pressure manner to push the work forward, while the latter was relatively low-key, unwilling to show off, and preferred to work quietly. With such a comparison, the people felt that Zhang Zhiyuan had not brought much benefit to Nanyang, while Su Qiming was vigorous and vigorous, devoting himself to his career. It was evident how powerful the power of public opinion was. It was an important magic weapon to show political achievements. Zhang Zhiyuan had lost this move.
The restructuring of Shuyang Coal Mine did not stop because of Zhang Zhiyuan's departure. Under the leadership of Baitai Company's General Manager, Li Chunni, the pace of restructuring was accelerated. The redistribution of the enterprise's employees was almost over, and the technical upgrading of the mine was also fully launched. At the same time, Shuyang Coal Mine was officially renamed "Baitai Coal Industry Co., Ltd." All the work was progressing smoothly. As a foreigner, Li Chunni did not participate in the affairs of Nanyang's officialdom. She did not even ask about Zhang Zhiyuan's investigation. During this period, Su Qiming did not go to Baitai Coal Industry even once. On the contrary, the executive deputy county head, Tian Guohua, who was in charge of coal mine safety, was more diligent. As for what he went to do, no one knew.
The industrial park in Beihe Town was completely shut down. This was the most shocking news to Lu Yiwei. After the new mayor of Beihe Town, He Xiaotian, took office, the first thing he did was to interfere with the construction of the industrial park. He listed a lot of reasons to stop the construction, which angered the stupid Niu Fuyong, who brought his men and beat He Xiaotian up. When Su Qiming found out, he was extremely angry and ordered Tian Guohua to deal with the matter. Tian Guohua's way of dealing with the matter was simple and violent. The industrial park was shut down, and Niu Fuyong was detained.
At the same time, people found that the three "billboards" erected in the county and at the border of the county had quietly disappeared. This was the work of the new director of the Urban Construction Bureau, Cai Jianguo. All of this showed that they were trying their best to remove all traces of Zhang Zhiyuan. They firmly believed that it was impossible for Zhang Zhiyuan to make a comeback.
As for the deputy county head, Bai Yuxin, he had nothing to do every day. When the higher-ups sent him a document, he would hold a meeting to pass it on. When the higher-ups sent him an inspection, he would just deal with it. He appeared to be calm and composed. However, in his heart, he was also worried about Zhang Zhiyuan's safety, just like Lu Yiwei.
Political struggles were terrible. Once someone was labeled, it would follow them for the rest of their life. It was not easy for Lu Yiwei to get rid of Chu Yunchi's shadow, and now he was labeled as Zhang Zhiyuan's. In the eyes of outsiders, it was almost impossible for him to turn the tables, unless a miracle happened. And this miracle was what Lu Yiwei was waiting for.
One day, Lu Yiwei had planned to go to Bei Zhou City. He had just finished washing up when he heard the sound of a car engine coming from afar, which made him very puzzled. Most of the villagers in the Peach Blossom Village had moved out. There were only a few families left. Under normal circumstances, outsiders rarely came here, let alone a car. He curiously looked out and saw a gray Volkswagen Santana had stopped in front of his house.
Lu Yiwei jumped down the stairs and saw a tall, thin man get out of the car and smirk at Lu Yiwei from afar. The driver was even more diligent. He carried a lot of bags from the trunk and followed behind the man.
"Brother Yiwei, long time no see. How have you been?" The man walked over with his butt in the air. He had already stretched out his wide hand to shake Lu Yiwei's. It was as if he was a good brother who had not seen each other for many years.
Lu Yiwei knew him. This person was Wu Hexuan, the secretary of the Guyang Village Party Committee. He was young, about the same age as Lu Yiwei. He looked gentle and well-dressed. Back then, he had been selected to take up a post in Nanyang County. Later, he was promoted and became the youngest section-level leader in the county. Because he was still inexperienced, he was not suitable to hold a post in a big town, so he worked in the relatively remote Guyang Village for four or five years. Because Liu Kecheng firmly held the power of personnel, and Wu Hexuan was not a local, every time he was promoted or transferred, he would be forgotten. So he was stranded on the beach, unable to go ashore, nor could he swim far. Basically, he became a "marginalized" leader.
What made Lu Yiwei wonder was, why did he come here? Only a few people knew that he had returned to his hometown. His nose was very sharp. After all, the other party was a guest, so Lu Yiwei could not treat him coldly. He greeted him with a smile, "Secretary Wu, you are a rare guest. It is not easy for you to find this Peach Blossom Village in the middle of nowhere."
"Hey! Brother Lu, you are making fun of me! " Wu Hexuan squeezed his hand and said, "I have been working in Guyang Village for four or five years. How could I not know that village? Because most of the people in the Peach Blossom Village have moved out, there have been fewer people coming here recently. Didn't I come here often before? If you don't believe me, you can ask the others. Am I right, Xiao Zhang? "Wu Hexuan hurriedly asked the driver, for fear that Lu Yiwei would not believe him.
His relationship with Wu Hexuan was not good, but it was not bad either. When Lu Yiwei was in Beihe Town, Wu Hexuan did not kick him when he was down, nor did he show excessive enthusiasm. Their relationship was ordinary. At best, they were just strangers who met by chance. But today, Wu Hexuan was acting so humble. Could it be that something happened? Lu Yiwei thought about it. He was like a clay Bodhisattva crossing the river, he could not even protect himself. What could Wu Hexuan ask of him? He smiled and said, "Secretary Wu, you are too serious. I was just saying casually, please don't take it to heart. Come, let's go inside! "
After entering the house, Wu Hexuan casually put on his slippers and sat cross-legged on the kang bed. He said, "I won't be leaving for lunch today. I will stay at your house to ask for some food. I don't know if brother Yiwei will welcome me?"
"Of course, you are welcome. You are our official, we can't wait for you!"
Lu Yiwei smiled and said, "But Secretary Wu, you have to be mentally prepared. There is no roast chicken or stew, but there are carrots and vegetables."
"Haha, you!" Wu Hexuan laughed heartily and said, "I came here to eat carrots and vegetables today. I also brought wine. Let's drink to our heart's content today, haha."
"Okay!" Lu Yiwei said straightforwardly, "As long as Secretary Wu doesn't mind."
"Mind what?" Wu Hexuan pretended to be angry and said, "Yiwei, you don't have to be so polite with me. We are all on the same side. You don't have to call me Secretary Wu. It seems so distant. Call me Hexuan. I am older than you, or you can call me brother. Is that okay? "
Lu Yiwei poured a cup of big leaf tea for Wu Hexuan and said with a smile, "Secretary Wu is more direct. I'm still not used to suddenly calling you brother. Hehe, come, this is my father's big leaf tea. It's bitter, please don't mind it."
