With this thought in mind, Lu Yiwei naturally would not start the business. The burden fell on Li Haidong.
Lu Yiwei trusted Li Haidong. After all, after living in East Tile Village for so many years, the two of them had formed a tacit understanding. Lu Yiwei had given Li Haidong full responsibility for the orchard and the canning factory project. Lu Yiwei only needed to know how much Li Haidong spent and earned. He would not ask about the specifics. This level of trust was beyond that of a friend. Moreover, Li Haidong had become his parents' godson. They were brothers in name. In a situation where there was no manpower, Li Haidong was the best candidate.
After confirming the direction, Lu Yiwei thought of something else. He thought of the Deputy Minister Zhang Zhiyuan had arranged for him and felt a little disappointed. In fact, the Deputy Minister of the Coal Industry Bureau that Zhang Zhiyuan had promised was good enough. He did not know why it changed suddenly. No matter what, after the National Day was over and the publicity period was over, he would be a section leader. He had waited five to six years for this step.
In these two days, Lu Yiwei did not go anywhere. He slept soundly at home and accepted the new job and challenge with a new attitude. During this period, there were naturally many people looking for him, but they were all rejected by his mother, Liu Cuilan. When a deputy director of a unit heard that Lu Yiwei was not at home, he put down his things and ran away. Liu Cuilan had to run a long way before she finally caught up with him. For her son's future, Liu Cuilan actively cooperated and supported him to the end.
On the morning of the 8th of October, Lu Yiwei woke up early. He purposely put on a black suit and adjusted his glasses in front of the mirror. When he was satisfied, he proudly walked to the dining room for breakfast. When he turned around, Lu Yiwei looked back at the glasses again and suddenly thought of Li Shu-man. She was the one who bought them for him. It had been a long time since he had visited his daughter. Even when he was in Jiangdong City, he used all kinds of reasons to avoid her. As a father, he was seriously derelict in his duties.
"Yiwei, it's time to eat!" Liu Cuilan called out to Lu Yiwei as she carried a steamer of steaming buns to the table.
Lu Yiwei smiled bitterly at the mirror, walked to the dining table, and started eating as if he was chewing wax. As a mother, she could tell at a glance that her son had feelings for her. Liu Cuilan carefully sat opposite him and asked, "What's wrong?"
Lu Yiwei tidied up her makeup and hurriedly said, "I'm fine, I'm fine!"
"Sigh!" Liu Cuilan sighed and said, "The weather is getting colder day by day. I wonder if Xiao Yu is wearing thick clothes? During the summer vacation, she was in the city learning how to paint and didn't have time to come back. I missed her so much. Yiwei, pick a Sunday and bring Xiao Yu back for me and your father to see, okay? "
"En!" Lu Yiwei pretended to be calm and stuffed a piece of bun into his mouth. He hurriedly drank two mouthfuls of soup and stood up. "Mum, I'll go to work first. If I don't call you, it means that I won't be coming back. You can eat with my father."
"Fine!" Liu Cuilan was helpless. Her son had grown up and was no longer up to his mother.
Lu Yiwei picked up the car key from the coffee table. Just when he was about to go out, a well-dressed young man knocked on the door and came in. The moment he entered the door, he bowed and said, "Minister Lu, have you eaten?"
Lu Yiwei was surprised and asked, "You are?"
"Oh." The young man hurriedly said, "Minister Lu, my name is Liu Hui. You can call me Little Liu. I'm from the Organization Department's office. According to Director Xu's arrangement, I will be your full-time chauffeur from now on. I'll be responsible for driving you to and from work. "
"Director Xu? Which Director Xu? "Lu Yiwei was shocked by this arrangement. The higher-ups had not officially appointed him yet. Furthermore, there were still a few procedures to go through after the announcement. He had not even started working, and they had already arranged a full-time chauffeur. Furthermore, the previous Deputy Minister of the Organization Department did not have a full-time chauffeur. How did he get one? In the end, it was because of the County party committee's Secretary, Zhang Zhiyuan.
Liu Hui smiled and said, "You should know the Director of the Organization Department's Office, Xu Jingye."
"Oh, it's Old Xu." Lu Yiwei said, "This Xu Jingye is really dedicated to his work. How about this? You go back first. I'm not part of the Organization Department yet. We'll talk about it after the official appointment, okay? "
Liu Hui could be considered as a veteran in the County party committee. He spoke casually and said, "Minister Lu, before I left, Director Xu said that if I can't fetch you, I will lose my job. Why make things difficult for a temporary worker like me? No matter what, I have been working here for four to five years. "
This general put Lu Yiwei in a bit of a dilemma. "Alright then. I'll hitch a ride with you to the County party committee. I won't fetch you!"
Liu Hui was amused. He said with a smile, "Isn't it the same concept as picking up?"
Lu Yiwei shook his head. After saying goodbye to his mother, he strode out the door.
"Oh! It's Yiwei. "Lu Yiwei bumped into Aunt Zhang next door as soon as he went out. Auntie Zhang looked at Lu Yiwei up and down and praised, "You're dressed like a movie star. In the words of you young people, you're so handsome! Haha … "
"Aunt Zhang, you really know how to joke!" Lu Yiwei said embarrassedly, "Aunt Zhang, if there's nothing else, I'll go back to work first."
"Yiwei, let me tell you. Although my daughter isn't as beautiful as a fairy, her looks are still passable. I've already told you and Mom, but I've never been able to catch a glimpse of you." Aunt Zhang grumbled, "Yiwei, the fortune-teller said that you and my daughter's date of birth are especially compatible. More importantly," as she spoke, she looked around and then lowered her voice, "The most important thing is that my daughter can give birth to a son for you …"
"Pfft!" Lu Yiwei almost choked. He held it in and said, "Aunt Zhang, it's getting late. I'll leave first."
"Don't. I'll ask my daughter to come back this Sunday and arrange for you to meet her. Say, hey! Do you hear me? "Looking at Lu Yiwei's receding figure, Aunty Zhang shouted from behind.
"Yiwei, time to go to work." After walking a few steps out of the door, a retired official who lived in the first house looked at Lu Yiwei with a smile and tried to please him.
"Mhmm, Chief Wang, good morning." Lu Yiwei said impatiently. When Lu Yiwei first moved in, Chief Wang always held his head high and was cold to him. When he greeted Lu Yiwei, he would at most snort and leave with his hands clasped behind his back. He looked down on Lu Yiwei, a mantis shrimp who was suppressed by politics.
"Hehe!" Chief Wang smiled and said, "I knew you were not ordinary. Now it seems that you are indeed not ordinary. You're already a section leader at such a young age, and you're in such a crucial department. Your future is limitless!"
"Okay, I'll remember Chief Wang's words." After that, he turned around and was about to leave. Unexpectedly, Chief Wang pulled him back and continued, "Yiwei, I used to work in the Organization Department. I have my own way of doing organization work. I'll tell you now. Let's talk about using people first … "
Lu Yiwei quickly interrupted, "Chief Wang, how about this? I'll come back in the afternoon and ask you for advice. What do you think?"
"Are you in a hurry now?" Chief Wang asked curiously.
Lu Yiwei raised his arm and said, "It's almost eight o 'clock. I have to go to work soon."
"Oh, there's no need to be in a hurry." Chief Wang said, "When I was the Chief, I would usually arrive at the office at nine o 'clock. I would pick up the sign-in form to see who didn't arrive and who signed it on behalf of someone. I'll show them my authority! You're still young. The first thing you do when you arrive at the organization is to destroy their authority … "
"Chief Wang, I really can't take it anymore!" Lu Yiwei begged for mercy, "We still have a meeting at 8: 30. Another day … another day?"
"There is a meeting!" Chief Wang said with some disappointment, "Alright, you go ahead with your work. Come and find me later. Let's have a drink and I'll teach you well. I'll impart my life's work to you … "
Lu Yiwei nodded and moved forward. He finally got rid of this arrogant guy. He strode to the roadside, and a brand new Passat stopped there and honked at him. He was surprised.
At this time, Liu Hui stopped his car and ran out to open the door for Lu Yiwei. Lu Yiwei asked coldly, "What's the meaning of this?"
Liu Hui did not understand and scratched his head, "Minister Lu, are you talking about cars?"
"Yes."
"Oh, it's like this." Liu Hui explained, "The Organization Department bought two new cars before the National Day. One is Minister Yan's, and the other is yours."
Lu Yiwei pointed to the driveway, "This should be over the limit. Only the County's leaders are qualified to sit in the Passat. I'm just a Deputy Minister. Never mind, I'll drive my car. "
Liu Hui still did not listen to Lu Yiwei, and Lu Yiwei was determined not to get in the car. He insisted on driving his Peugeot to the County party committee's compound. Liu Hui was helpless. He drove his new car and chased after him. He was quite curious about this Deputy Minister.
After entering the County party committee's compound, Lu Yiwei parked his car and went straight to the County party committee building. At this time, Xu Jingye, the office director of the Organization Department, was panting as he ran and shouted, "Minister Lu, Minister Lu, wait …"
Lu Yiwei looked at Xu Jingye, who was seriously fat, and felt it was funny. Thinking that they would work together in the future, he chose to wait.
"Minister Lu, where are you going?" Xu Jingye asked while panting.
Lu Yiwei looked up and said, "Why? Did I go the wrong way? "
"Of course not!" Xu Jingye pointed to the East building behind him and said, "The Organization Department is there. You will work there in the future."
"Oh." Lu Yiwei said politely, "Director Xu, as an old member of the Organization Department, you should at least understand the organization's discipline. I haven't even signed my name yet, and you are already calling me Minister Lu. Does the organization allow it?"
