Being with Ma Feifei was torture. Especially when he couldn't watch her eat. He had to cover his chest with one hand and pick up some food with the other. He would stuff the food into his mouth without touching his lips, and then quickly wipe his mouth with the napkin he brought. The table was full of dishes. Lu Yiwei had an appetite at first, but when he saw this "empress dowager," he lost his appetite. He even thought that he was a neat freak.
"Yiwei, this fish tastes good!" Ma Feifei finally smiled and praised him.
Lu Yiwei added, "The owner of this restaurant is a retired soldier. He was in the army's kitchen, and he gave special attention to the chief. Of course, his cooking is good."
"Oh, no wonder!" Ma Feifei was much more cheerful than before. She started talking about the Nanyang government. "Lu Yiwei, you've been with Secretary Zhang every day. What do you think of him?"
This was the first time Lu Yiwei had been asked this question. He thought to himself, "He's quite good. He's capable, educated, and willing to do great things. I've learned a lot from him."
"Really?" Ma Feifei asked doubtfully. "But I heard that he's a bit arrogant and likes to be alone. He's not easy to get along with."
"Really?" Lu Yiwei didn't know where Ma Feifei heard it from. "I didn't notice it."
"Really?" Ma Feifei asked again. "That only means that you're the same type of person as him. You can't see each other's flaws."
Lu Yiwei was a little embarrassed. If Ma Feifei wasn't the leader, he would have argued with her. What's there to be proud of? An actress had somehow become the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. It would take more than three days and three nights to talk about it. Neat freak? What mysophobia? Everything was just an act. Of course, Lu Yiwei was magnanimous and didn't want to argue with Ma Feifei. "Secretary Ma, I think that as long as we are honest with each other, there won't be any estrangement. On the contrary, we will become good friends. No matter what others say, I think Secretary Zhang is an honest man and a good official. "
"Why are you nervous?" Ma Feifei looked at Lu Yiwei, who had a serious expression on his face, and burst into laughter. She said, "I was just speaking casually. Don't take it too seriously. You're right. In fact, I'm the same. As long as you treat me well, I'll definitely treat you well. But if you treat me badly, I promise I'll treat you even worse. Is that right? "
Nothing was more vicious than a woman's heart. Within five hours of being in contact with Ma Feifei, Ma Feifei had already exposed herself impatiently. Lu Yiwei wasn't sure what she meant by saying all this. Was she targeting him or Zhang Zhiyuan? It was obvious that she was full of hostility. His words were merciless, stabbing straight into the depths of one's heart. It seemed that this person was not simple. Lu Yiwei sneered and said, "I haven't studied the theory of good and bad. I only know how to be grateful and tolerant. No matter who it is, it's always better to remember someone's good than not."
"Are you lecturing me?" Ma Feifei's expression suddenly changed. She was obviously unhappy with Lu Yiwei's tone.
This was Lu Yiwei's character. He said, "Secretary Ma, you're my leader. How can I be lecturing you? I'm just talking about my personal thoughts. But what you said makes sense, and I won't deny everyone's point of view. "
Ma Feifei felt that she was being oversensitive. She relaxed and said, "I'm just saying. Don't take it too seriously, and don't say it in front of Secretary Zhang."
Lu Yiwei said, "I naturally understand this principle."
Ma Feifei picked up a tissue to wipe her mouth and continued to ask, "You've been the secretary of the village branch. Do you have any good suggestions for the Party's development?"
Lu Yiwei didn't know how to answer Ma Feifei's broad concept. He said, "May I ask if Secretary Ma is referring to the construction of troops or the construction of positions?"
He had been the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee before, so he was very familiar with this kind of work. He said, "Just say what you think."
Lu Yiwei said honestly, "I feel that the Party members in Nanyang are not very active in playing the role of pioneers. Some Party members even forget their identity and forget the cultivation of Party spirit. They are like ordinary people and don't think about how to develop the village. This is one of the reasons. In addition, the construction of positions is even weaker. Some villages don't even have a Village Committee. They often have meetings at the homes of Party members. This aspect needs to be strengthened. "
Ma Feifei nodded. "You're right. This is not Nanyang County. This phenomenon exists in the whole city. Of course, Maping County is an exception. After all, they have a strong foundation. I'm the deputy secretary in charge of Party building. If I can manage the construction of positions in Nanyang well, I'll be satisfied. You said in the afternoon that you want to find a secretary for me. I don't want a newcomer. Give me a young female Party member with rich experience. Do you have a candidate in mind? "
Lu Yiwei thought of Shi Xiaoman first, but on second thought, she was an independent, which was not in line with the development goals proposed by Ma Feifei. But he still said, "Secretary Ma, I have a candidate. She is very good. I believe you will be satisfied with her. It's a pity that she is the deputy village head of democracy. She is not as good as you. "
"That's okay!" Ma Feifei didn't care about this and said, "As long as I like her, I can let her join the Party. Well, let her come to my office tomorrow morning. I'll meet her. "
"Okay! I'll call her later. " As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yiwei thought of the meeting tomorrow morning and hurriedly said, "By the way, Secretary Ma, you have a meeting tomorrow morning …"
"It's okay. Let her wait for me in the office," Ma Feifei said lightly.
After lunch, Lu Yiwei sent Ma Feifei back to the Standing Committee Building and then rushed to the Orchid Garden Hotel.
"Oh! Director Lu, what took you so long? I've been waiting for you! "Luo Chengwen, the owner of the Orchid Garden Hotel, said warmly as if he had smeared honey on his lips.
Lu Yiwei didn't have time to chat with him. He asked, "Where are Secretary Zhang and the others?"
"The backyard. I'll take you there!" Luo Chengwen hurriedly took Lu Yiwei to the backyard. Before they entered the door, they heard people shouting one after another. It was very lively.
After Lu Yiwei pushed the door open and went in, Duan Changyun, who was sitting in the middle with Zhang Zhiyuan, immediately stood up and said, "Yiwei, come here. We're waiting for you."
Lu Yiwei glanced at them and knew most of them. All the vice-chairmen of the CPPCC were present, including his ex-father-in-law, Li Dengke. In addition, Pei Qifeng, the member of the Standing Committee of the County party committee and the Minister of Publicity, Chai Guosheng, the Deputy Director of the People's Congress, Xue Kai, the Deputy County Head in charge of finance and agriculture, Cao Zhanshan, the Director of the Development and Reform Bureau, Qu Guangping, the Director of the Land and Resources Bureau, Xi Jianhui, the Chairman of the Literary Federation, Liu Shaowen, the Director of the Audit Bureau, and Liang Daoyi, the Secretary of the Party Committee of the Beihe Town.
He sat down apologetically and nodded to them one by one. When he looked at Li Dengke, he didn't see the hostility in the past. On the contrary, he was much gentler, which was somewhat rare.
Halfway through the banquet, Duan Changyun stood up again and said, "Everyone, today we are fortunate to have Secretary Zhang attend today's banquet. This is our honor and blessing. It can be seen that Secretary Zhang is supportive of our writers and artists, he is positive. Now that Yiwei is here, let's raise our glasses to Secretary Zhang. "
Duan Changyun's words were indeed effective. Everyone stood up and raised their glasses to Zhang Zhiyuan. Zhang Zhiyuan didn't put on airs. He clinked glasses with everyone and downed a large glass in one go.
Lu Yiwei had doubts ever since he knew about today's banquet. It was inevitable that people would think too much about Zhang Zhiyuan attending such a banquet at this time, especially when County Magistrate Yang Derong had just arrived this morning. If Yang Derong found out later, what would he think?
Lu Yiwei also admired Zhang Zhiyuan's courage. To be more serious, this was clearly a clique. However, this pretense was definitely a technical job. He didn't know the theme of today's banquet. Seeing the chairman of the Couplet Organization, could it be related to the arts?
As expected, the chairman of the Development and Reform Bureau, Cao Zhanshan, stood up and said, "Secretary Zhang, Chairman Duan, today is Comrade Chai Guosheng's calligraphy exhibition. I'll be the guest and steal the spotlight. Let me first toast to the two leaders."
"Hai! Can't you show some sincerity? How can you toast together? One by one. "Vice Chairman Li Dengke jeered.
"That's right, one by one …" The others also joined in.
Cao Zhanshan reacted quickly and immediately said, "My glass of wine has a meaning. I hope Chairman Duan can play a more active role in government affairs and give valuable suggestions for the development of Nanyang County. "
"Well said! I'll drink this glass of wine. "Zhang Zhiyuan raised his glass and downed it in one go.
Duan Changyun said, "Comrade Zhanshan's reminder is right. This is also the next step of my work. In the near future, I will organize the CPPCC members to conduct research on the county's coal mine development and form a high-quality research report to submit to the County party committee government. At the same time, I will hold an on-site meeting to resolve and reply to some of the CPPCC members' proposals. Also, Comrade Qifeng and I will be jointly organizing a series of cultural activities, such as a symposium for artists and journalists, etc. I hope Comrade Zhanshan can sponsor us. Haha. "
"It's a piece of cake. I'll get someone to send it over to you!" Cao Zhanshan said straightforwardly.
The protagonist of today's dinner, Chai Guosheng, was a little unhappy. "I say, Cao Maozi, whenever you're around, you always mess things up. I'm definitely not going to agree to it today!"
"Haha …"
At this moment, Lu Yiwei finally understood. On the surface, today's dinner was an exhibition of Chai Guosheng's calligraphy works. But after a careful analysis, these people were all Duan Changyun's confidants. Most of them were promoted by him. Especially Cao Zhanshan. If it wasn't for Duan Changyun's guidance, he would probably still be in the village. Furthermore, Duan Changyun's sudden effort to organize a series of intensive activities was self-evident. And those who attended tonight's meeting also indirectly expressed their full support for Zhang Zhiyuan.
