Lu Yiwei had been busy these days, so it was not a big deal for him to put aside his feelings for the time being. He said evasively, "Secretary Zhang, no, we are fine."
"Oh." Zhang Zhiyuan saw something different in Lu Yiwei's eyes, so he said, "Well, come to my house for dinner this week. Chu Chu misses you too."
"Well …" Lu Yiwei was a little embarrassed. Zhang Zhiyuan directly said, "That's settled. Don't refuse anymore." To prevent Lu Yiwei from changing his mind, he changed the topic and asked, "How is the preparation in County Yang? Have you seen it?"
Lu Yiwei shook his head and said, "County Yang went back after lunch. I heard from the people in the government office that everything is ready. "
"Okay." Zhang Zhiyuan said thoughtfully, "Pay attention to the movements of your subordinates these days, and report to me in time if there is any situation." Obviously, Zhang Zhiyuan was not confident enough, and he was even deliberately guarding against Yang Derong. They had not officially confronted each other yet, but they had already begun to compete in private.
"Okay, I understand."
Zhang Zhiyuan crossed his hands, turned his thumb, and looked out of the window. He glanced at the telephone from time to time, as if he was hiding something in his mind. Seeing this, Lu Yiwei stood up and said, "Secretary Zhang, if there is nothing else, I will go out first."
"Okay." Zhang Zhiyuan nodded and said, "Comrade Zhangyun is holding a banquet tonight. We will go together later."
When Lu Yiwei returned to the office, he was a little confused about the last thing Zhang Zhiyuan said. Why would Duan Zhangyun hold a banquet? His daughter's wedding? He had never heard of it. But other than a reason, there was nothing else. What exactly was he selling in the gourd? In addition, since Zhang Zhiyuan arrived in Nanyang, he had never attended any banquets other than work, especially weddings and funerals. He often left after the roll call. If he was an ordinary cadre, he would just ask the driver to go and greet him. But this time, he suddenly acted out of character, which was really unfathomable.
Recalling Zhang Zhiyuan's invitation, Lu Yiwei's scalp went numb. He had not contacted Xia Jinhe for a long time. Now that he thought about it, he always felt that he was not manly enough. But when he thought of her deceit and betrayal, Lu Yiwei's heart was filled with rage, and he found it hard to bear. He took out the new marriage certificate from the drawer and hesitated for a long time before he picked up the phone and called Yao Na.
During this period of time, Yao Na was quite depressed because of the matter between Lu Yiwei and Xia Jinhe. Originally, she thought that she could get married, but in the end, it was not good for her to end up in two different places. When she saw Lu Yiwei's call, she didn't know how to resolve this accumulated resentment. Her hand that was holding the phone was actually trembling. After a fierce internal struggle, he picked up the call.
"Yao Na, inform Xia Jinhe that I'll meet him at the Civil Affairs Bureau the day after tomorrow." Lu Yiwei's words were short and concise.
Yao Na held the phone in her hand and didn't know what to do for a moment.
Flustered, Lu Yiwei threw the phone away and stood up to stretch his body. After a busy and tiring day, he felt a little tired. The most important thing was that he didn't have a capable assistant, and he had to do everything by himself. Wang Xiaodong, who could be trusted, was sent to Beihe Town under Zhang Zhiyuan's insistence. Only then did the Finance Bureau incident settle down. As for the others, they were all bosses and felt that they were old and pretentious. Deputy Director Du Jiaming could still help, but his prestige was not enough to control the "soldiers" in Dong Guoping's hands. After all, he was not the director of the County party committee, and he couldn't transfer people at will. If Dong Guoping came back and saw that all his confidants had been transferred away, he would more or less be embarrassed.
Forget it, he would be alone. Just as he was twisting his body, the Director of the Government Affairs Bureau, Hu Zhixiong, appeared at the door with a smile.
"Old Hu, come in!" Lu Yiwei was especially enthusiastic when he saw Hu Zhixiong. He walked up to him and quickly took a seat.
Hu Zhixiong was fat and had a simple face. He smiled at everyone as if he was born without worries. Because of this iconic smile, coupled with the fact that his position in the unit was not high, people often ridiculed him and laughed at him. Especially the leaders, they often reprimanded him in front of his face because of food or other matters, just like a father reprimanding his son, not giving him any face. Fortunately, Hu Zhixiong was thick-skinned. Everyone could scold him, and he would do his work. There was nothing that could satisfy everyone. But there was one exception.
Ever since Zhang Zhiyuan moved into the "Standing Committee Building", he had almost never reprimanded Hu Zhixiong. Every time, he would gently remind Hu Zhixiong, "Old Hu, today's lunch is a little salty." After that, he would not say anything else. Such a way of speaking made Hu Zhixiong uncomfortable. It would be more practical if he cursed out loud.
Lu Yiwei pressed Hu Zhixiong down on the sofa and quickly took out a cigarette and lit it. He also made a cup of tea and brought it to Hu Zhixiong. Hu Zhixiong was so anxious that he kept saying, "Director Lu, alright, alright, don't be so polite …"
Lu Yiwei rolled up the sleeves of his white shirt and took a chair to sit opposite Hu Zhixiong. "Old Hu, thank you so much for the past two days. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to handle the logistics alone. Thank you so much!"
Hu Zhixiong laughed. "Director Lu, you're too kind. This is my job. It's my duty to serve the leaders. Haha."
Lu Yiwei also laughed. "Director Hu, I really have to thank you this time. Let's have a drink tomorrow night."
"No problem!" Hu Zhixiong said. "How is it? Is Secretary Ma satisfied with the office and dormitory?"
Lu Yiwei shook his head. "I'm not sure. Secretary Ma is a man of few words and did not say much. She is a woman, and I'm embarrassed to ask. It should be about the same. "
Hu Zhixiong sighed. "Secretary Ma has completed her task, but County Yang's side is more difficult. Sigh."
"What's wrong?" Lu Yiwei asked curiously.
Hu Zhixiong said. "Didn't the government arrange a dormitory for County Yang? Their driver went up and looked at the dormitory and rejected the idea. He complained that the room was too small, the decorations were ordinary, and the furniture was old. He proudly listed a lot of things, and in the end, he said that he wanted to renovate the presidential suite on the second floor of the guest house and live there. Secretary Zhang and even Mayor Su did not put on airs like this. This is really … "
"Shh!" Lu Yiwei quickly interrupted Hu Zhixiong and pointed to the door. "Be careful. The walls have ears."
Hu Zhixiong also realized that he spoke too loudly. He quickly covered his mouth and lowered his voice. "Director Lu, do you think we should report this to Secretary Zhang?"
Lu Yiwei thought for a while and said. "It's not a big deal. Just follow County Yang's instructions."
Hu Zhixiong said. "What's worse is what happened next. His secretary went to look at the office, and the moment he entered, he complained that the furnishings and Fengshui are not good enough. After looking for a long time, he found Secretary Xiao's office and insisted on changing. He was so arrogant, and he treated the office as his own home. "
"What happened next?" Lu Yiwei asked.
"What else can he do?!" Hu Zhixiong said. "The government office's Director Zhang Zhisong had sought Secretary Xiao's opinion, and the office was vacated. Also, the driver complained that the car is too old and wants to change to a new one. I can't make the decision on this. "
Lu Yiwei does not know much about Yang Derong. But from the driver and secretary's arrogance, Lu Yiwei can tell that Yang Derong is a government official. As the saying goes, like master, like servant. They dare to be so arrogant, it must be their master's instructions. It seems that the County party committee and the government will need some time to get used to each other. Lu Yiwei can't help but worry for Zhang Zhiyuan. Zhang Zhiyuan does not have enough experience, and he is working alone. In addition, he has lost his supporters. With Guo Jinzhu's transfer, Hou Yongzhi's death, and Tan Lao's retirement, it will be difficult for him to carry out his work in the future.
Lu Yiwei laughed. "County Yang is the County Mayor after all. We just have to follow his instructions." "That's right.
What's the use of complaining?! " Hu Zhixiong tried hard to open his eyes. He said with a sad face, "Just like me. I've been a good-for-nothing my whole life. I can't go up or down. I'm like an ant stuck in a crack in the wall. It's rare for me to see the sun, but I can't see the rainbow after the rain. Life is so hard."
Lu Yiwei stepped forward and comforted him. "Old Hu, don't be discouraged. I believe that your efforts will not be in vain."
"Really?" Hu Zhixiong said excitedly. It seems that Zhang Zhiyuan is talking to him.
Sometimes, the people under him always mistook Lu Yiwei's words as Zhang Zhiyuan's, so Hu Zhixiong was extra careful with his words. Just like what he said just now. It was a comforting sentence, but it made Hu Zhixiong excited for a long time. He did not want to discourage Hu Zhixiong, so he smiled and nodded slightly.
"That's great!" Hu Zhixiong could not hide his excitement. He grabbed Lu Yiwei's arm and said, "Brother Lu, I want to treat you to dinner tonight. You have to do me a favor."
"Not tonight. I'll treat you another day," Lu Yiwei said.
"Alright. But don't go back on your words." Hu Zhixiong was like a child, afraid that Lu Yiwei would go back on his words.
After sending Hu Zhixiong off, Lu Yiwei glanced at Zhang Zhiyuan's office and heaved a sigh of relief. He sat in front of his desk and wanted to have a cup of tea. At this moment, his phone rang.
"Hello, is this Lu Yiwei?" The Deputy Secretary of the County party committee, Ma Feifei, was sitting on the sofa and calling Lu Yiwei.
Lu Yiwei's memory was outstanding, and he could accurately capture the characteristics of each person's voice. Although he had just met Ma Feifei, he quickly reacted and thought that Ma Feifei was right in front of him. He stood up and said, "Secretary Ma, it's me. May I know what I can do for you?"
Ma Feifei had nothing to do and was watching TV with the remote control. "Go out and get someone to buy me some fruits. It would be best if they are apples."
Lu Yiwei remembered that his family's orchard had stored a lot of fruits in the cellar. He immediately said, "Okay, Secretary Ma. I'll get someone to send it to you right away."
"You can send it over personally." After that, he hung up the phone.
Lu Yiwei was puzzled by Ma Feifei's indifferent attitude. However, since the leader had assigned him work, it was a big deal. He quickly put on his coat and ran downstairs.
