Zhang Zhiyuan saw that Wang Xiaodong was righteous and did not seem to be lying. He put his hands in his windbreaker pocket and stared at Xu Wannian like a flying knife. He shuddered with fear. He asked, "Is that true?"
Xu Wannian bowed his head and did not say a word. He immediately explained, "Secretary Zhang, I did play mahjong, but I was talking about work …"
"Hmm." Zhang Zhiyuan nodded slightly. "I believe you. You must be very tired. I don't care about this. I just want to know why you hit him. "
"Well …" Xu Wannian said awkwardly, "Secretary Zhang, I didn't hit him. I was just playing with him."
"Oh?" Zhang Zhiyuan was annoyed by Xu Wannian's weak explanation, but he was a well-mannered leader. No matter how angry he was, he rarely vented his anger in public. He asked, "Are you having fun?"
"…"
Xu Wannian did not speak for a long time. After a moment of confrontation, Zhang Zhiyuan said, "Bring this year's financial revenue and expenditure to my office in half an hour." Then he turned around and walked away briskly.
Lu Yiwei, who had sobered up, regretted his reckless impulsiveness and deeply blamed himself. He hurried to follow Zhang Zhiyuan to the County party committee's compound.
Zhang Zhiyuan entered the office, threw the briefcase in his hand, and landed on the sofa in a beautiful arc. He sat down on the leather chair, unbuttoned his shirt in annoyance, picked up a cigarette in the office, lit it, and took a few puffs.
Lu Yiwei knocked on the door. Zhang Zhiyuan knew who it was, so he deliberately ignored him for a while. Then he rubbed his throat with his vocal cords and said, "Hmm."
After working with Zhang Zhiyuan for more than a year, Lu Yiwei had almost mastered some of his habits, especially his emotions. Others might not be able to decipher this code, but Lu Yiwei was well versed in its profundity. If Zhang Zhiyuan said "Come in" loudly, it meant he was in a good mood. If he simply said "Come in", it meant he was thinking about something and did not want to see anyone, but he had to see him. If he said "Hmm," it meant he was in a bad mood. Once he understood this pattern, Lu Yiwei would be able to find the right remedy.
He hurriedly went in and was about to explain what had happened in the morning. Zhang Zhiyuan deliberately picked up the phone on the desk and dialed a number, and then chatted enthusiastically. They talked for more than ten minutes.
Lu Yiwei didn't dare to sit. He knew that he had made a mistake, so he could only maintain a straight posture on the ground. After a long time, his center of gravity became unstable, and his legs became numb. Even his vision became dark, but Zhang Zhiyuan had no intention of letting him sit.
Although he was talking on the phone, Zhang Zhiyuan had been observing every move of Lu Yiwei. He hung up the phone and took the teacup to pour water. Seeing this, Lu Yiwei hurried to serve him. Unexpectedly, Zhang Zhiyuan waved his hand and went straight to the water dispenser. After filling it up, he returned to his seat and picked up today's newspaper to read carefully.
Lu Yiwei's mood was very complicated. He had been bullied by Xu Wannian, and now Zhang Zhiyuan did not understand, which made him feel disappointed. But there was nothing he could do. He had thought about it. He promised to take responsibility for today's incident, and he would be punished accordingly. At worst, he would go back to Beihe Town …
"What are you thinking about?" Zhang Zhiyuan suddenly moved the newspaper away, and his cold eyes made people's hair stand on end. Lu Yiwei moved his numb feet and said, "Secretary Zhang, I'm not thinking about anything. I just want to explain to you that this morning …"
"Enough!" Zhang Zhiyuan suddenly threw the newspaper on the table and stood up. He slapped the table and said, "Lu Yiwei, don't use work as a shield. Do you know the consequences of today's behavior?"
Zhang Zhiyuan was obviously angry. He rarely lost his temper with Lu Yiwei, but it was the first time for him to be so violent. He seemed to be exasperated at Lu Yiwei's failure. Lu Yiwei did not dare to look directly at Zhang Zhiyuan, so he bowed his head and said nothing.
Zhang Zhiyuan put out the cigarette in the ashtray, took out another cigarette from the cigarette box and lit it up. He pointed at Lu Yiwei and said, "The publicity period just ended last week, and you immediately made such a big mess. Let's not talk about who is in the right and who is not. If you make such a fuss, others will think that I instigated it. What should I do? Do you know how many eyes are staring at us, waiting for us to make a mistake? Now, you put yourself in front of others and let them do whatever they want. I really don't know what you're thinking. "
Lu Yiwei was infuriated. He hadn't thought of this and was so nervous that he didn't know what to do. His lips trembled and he wanted to say something, but he did not know what to say. The confidence he had just now had disappeared without a trace.
Zhang Zhiyuan saw the apology on Lu Yiwei's face, and he could not bear it. After taking a few puffs, he calmed down a little and pointed at the sofa. "Sit down."
Lu Yiwei tried to move his feet, but his legs were like popsicles. He could not feel them. Finally, he took a step forward and instantly fell to the ground with a thud. Zhang Zhiyuan saw this and quickly went to help him up. He held his arm and helped him to the sofa. When he saw Lu Yiwei's injured ear, he felt a dull pain in his heart, as if the pain was on his own body. He went back to the bedroom and wet a towel. He came out and threw it to Lu Yiwei, along with the cigarette and lighter.
Although Zhang Zhiyuan was expressionless, Lu Yiwei could feel other emotions beyond the relationship between a superior and a subordinate. He couldn't help but feel a lump in his throat. Like a child who had been wronged, his eyes turned red, and he bit his lips to hide his embarrassment.
Zhang Zhiyuan realized that his words were a little harsh. He sighed and said sincerely, "Yiwei, in fact, you can see that many people are not convinced that I am the Secretary of the County party committee. Some of them are full of hostility, and Xu Wannian is one of them. When I arrested his brother-in-law, Zhao Zhigang, he begged me and gave me one million yuan to ensure Zhao Zhigang's safety, but I refused. This is not something that can be done with money, not to mention that I don't buy it. From then on, Xu Wannian had a bad opinion of me, and later he went against me in every way. I signed the document to ask for the money, but Xu Wannian refused with all kinds of reasons. Up to now, the capital for the construction of Guyang Village has not been in place. "
"On the contrary, Su Qiming was in charge of the construction of the cement factory, and Xu Wannian paid more than 20 million yuan on time. As the county magistrate, I didn't know about it. It's really vexing."
Lu Yiwei knew what had happened to Xu Wannian. This person had always acted arbitrarily. Relying on Liu Kecheng's powerful backing, he was not afraid of anything. He even "commanded the nobles" and directly rode on Zhang Zhiyuan's head. Zhang Zhiyuan lacked experience and seniority, so he couldn't control many situations. Even if he became the Secretary of the County party committee, he might not be able to control the current situation in Nanyang. There was still a long way to go to establish prestige and awe the officialdom. It was not a simple transfer of personnel to control the overall situation.
Zhang Zhiyuan knew this well, and he was very clear about his current situation. Especially Yang Derong, who was about to arrive, this powerful figure was far more powerful than Liu Kecheng by ten times. His methods were extremely tough, and his style was extremely valiant. He was a famous "official ruffian" in the officialdom of the Northern Region. Tian Chunqiu had really put in a lot of effort to transfer him to Nanyang County.
The tree was quiet, and the wind stopped. A more cruel competition was about to begin. It was like a competition. It was a bit overconfident to let Zhang Zhiyuan fight against a strong opponent alone.
Last night, he chatted with Guo Jinzhu, who was about to take office, all night. Guo Jinzhu left him three words: "group", "fight", and "crush". He meant that before Yang Derong arrived, he must rush to win over some people, especially the old guys in the Standing Committee and the National People's Congress of the CPPCC. He also specially emphasized that the chairman of the CPPCC, Duan Changyun, must be entrusted with important tasks and relied on at critical moments. At the same time, he must win over those who could be won over, unite around him, and be on standby at any time.
Next, he must get rid of one or two people who stood out, and kill one to warn the others. This was similar to Zhang Zhiyuan's rectification of the "Three Winds". After getting rid of some people, he would choose a few people who were not high in status and easy to control to be entrusted with important tasks. These people would be the "backbone" of the "conquest of the country" in the future.
With this advice, Zhang Zhiyuan suddenly saw the light and knew how to carry out the next step. But after planning to "group", he directly jumped to the second step, and completely messed up his plan.
Although this happened by chance, it was inevitable that Xu Wannian would appear sooner or later. Since he appeared, he might as well just cut him off. If he replaced the director of the Finance Bureau with his own people, the future work would be much smoother. He said, "That's good. Since we have torn an opening, let's meet Xu Wannian and see how capable he is!"
Lu Yiwei said, "Secretary Zhang, I am the cause of this disaster, so you should punish him. Don't mess up your plan because of me."
Zhang Zhiyuan rolled his eyes and said, "Since both sides are at fault, then each side should be punished. Xu Wannian must be severely punished, and this matter will be handed over to Liao Minyuan. But I can't do anything to you here. If I do, it will affect the promotion, so I can only put it on the new civil servant first. "
Hearing this, Lu Yiwei quickly waved his hand and said, "Secretary Zhang, you can't do that. Wang Xiaodong is a new civil servant, and he is still a child. It is not fair for him to be punished as soon as he comes. What's more, I asked him to do this. I don't agree to punish him, so just put the blame on me. I won't have any complaints. "
Lu Yiwei was responsible and dared to take responsibility for others, but Zhang Zhiyuan would never accept his opinion. After all, it was related to his future. After thinking for a while, he said, "Well, I won't punish him, but transfer him."
Lu Yiwei stood up excitedly and said, "Secretary Zhang, please think about it. Wang Xiaodong is a good boy. I have always wanted to train him to be your secretary. If he is transferred, his future will be ruined. "
