Ten minutes later, Shi Xiaoman walked out of Ma Feifei's office with a red face.
Lu Yiwei had been standing at the door, waiting for both Shi Xiaoman and Yang Derong. When he saw Shi Xiaoman, he quickly pulled her into the office and asked impatiently, "How was it?"
Shi Xiaoman shook her head and said, "Not good!"
"Why?"
"It was too sudden. I wasn't prepared at all. Secretary Ma asked me a lot of questions, and I can't answer them. However, I am still very grateful to you for always thinking about me. "Shi Xiaoman said emotionally. When the Chuangwei Headquarters was established, Lu Yiwei transferred her from Beihe Town back to the county. Now he asked her to come to the County party committee. In his eyes, it was just a matter of colleagues helping each other, but in Shi Xiaoman's eyes, it was a different feeling.
"Oh." Lu Yiwei said with some regret, "It's all my fault. If I had informed you last night, it wouldn't have been so rushed. How about this, you go back first, and I will ask for Secretary Ma's opinion later, okay? "
"Thank you!" Shi Xiaoman's face was still red, and the light from the window shone on her face, making her look even more rosy and flawless. Looking at Lu Yiwei, her eyes were a little blurred, and her heart was beating rapidly. Because when she saw him, she could not help but think of that afternoon. Perhaps, that afternoon had been deeply implanted in her mind, and she would never forget it.
Before leaving, Lu Yiwei casually asked, "How is Cao Xiaolei recently?"
At the mention of her husband, Shi Xiaoman's eyes instantly became flustered, and she said, "Pretty … pretty good."
Lu Yiwei also saw that Shi Xiaoman had something difficult to say, and did not ask much. He smiled and said, "Okay, you go back first and wait. I will inform you as soon as there is news."
After Shi Xiaoman left, Lu Yiwei took out his mobile phone and called Li Haidong, "When will the contract with the non-staple food processing plant be signed?"
Li Haidong said, "I was about to report to you. Manager Lu said that the contract will be officially signed tomorrow morning. In other words, as soon as the contract is signed, we will get the cannery back. In addition, Baitai Coal has been urging me several times. They are anxious to get back the land for development. When do you want to sign the contract with them? "
"The faster, the better!" Lu Yiwei said: "How about this. Once you sign the contract with the food factory, you can contact Baitai Coal. You don't need to tell me about this. You can make the decision."
"Alright!" Li Haidong continued, "Manager Lu wants you to attend the signing ceremony tomorrow morning."
"This isn't a joke!" Lu Yiwei said: "Tell Manager Lu that I can treat him to dinner tonight, but I will definitely not attend the signing ceremony."
After talking about business, Lu Yiwei asked curiously, "Hai Dong, have you seen Cao Xiaolei recently?"
Li Haidong said, "You don't say, I haven't seen him for a while. I asked Manager Lu, but he only said that he was on a business trip, so I was too embarrassed to ask. "
"Oh." Lu Yiwei said thoughtfully, "Alright. There is nothing else. You can go back to work."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Yiwei leaned against the desk and carefully recalled Shi Xiaoman's expression. Could it be that I am overthinking?
As he was thinking, he heard rapid footsteps coming from the corridor. Lu Yiwei looked out and saw the County Magistrate Yang Derong, who was like a door god, appeared in the corridor and was walking towards him. Lu Yiwei immediately went out to greet him and respectfully led the way. "County Magistrate Yang, this way please."
Yang Derong did not seem to notice Lu Yiwei's presence. He swayed his body and walked into Zhang Zhiyuan's office with his head held high. As soon as he entered the office, he said loudly, "Brother Zhiyuan, sorry to keep you waiting. Haha."
Yang Derong's voice was unusually loud. His voice could be heard clearly from the other end of the corridor. He had a broad body and a fierce face. His swept-back hair was combed back neatly, and his shiny forehead was particularly prominent under the reflection of the sun. His eyes were protruding and had a lot of white. His eyebrows were just a little bit, as if to save ink. His nose was huge and took up almost one-fifth of his face. Paired with two fat, thick, and purple sausage lips, and two large earlobes, he did not look like a handsome man at all. Instead, he looked exactly the same as the door god Yuchi Jingde.
What was domineering as an official? At least his appearance showed his domineering side, making people afraid to approach him. Compared to the relatively weak and thin Zhang Zhiyuan, he was not even on the same level. Lu Yiwei was tall, but even so, standing in front of Yang Derong made him feel short of breath.
Being an official was definitely a skill. Whether it was clothing or behavior, it was a unique temperament formed by the precipitation of history and the tempering of time. Just like the cultivation of European aristocrats, it was not something that could be trained in a day. He had long heard that Yang Derong was domineering as an official, and today he saw that it was true. Lu Yiwei was worried for Zhang Zhiyuan. How could he go against such a ruthless character?
At this moment, Yang Derong made a surprising move. He walked to the middle of the room and suddenly stopped, holding his stomach with both hands as he talked to Zhang Zhiyuan. Zhang Zhiyuan's outstretched hand hung awkwardly in the air. He did not know whether to put it down or not. Seeing this, Lu Yiwei immediately went to help. He said with a smile, "County Yang, please sit here."
Yang Derong held his stomach and sat on the sofa. At that moment, he felt the floor shake. It was quite imposing. Lu Yiwei made tea for him and lit a cigarette. From the beginning to the end, Yang Derong did not look at him directly. Obviously, he did not take Lu Yiwei seriously at all.
"Yiwei, go and call Secretary Ma," Zhang Zhiyuan said.
After a while, Ma Feifei came over in her high heels. Yang Derong's eyes lit up. He showed great enthusiasm and took the initiative to shake hands with her. Ma Feifei disdainfully chose to sit on the sofa opposite, deliberately keeping a certain distance from Yang Derong.
"Yiwei, you take notes here," Zhang Zhiyuan said, pointing to the chair next to him.
Everything was ready. Zhang Zhiyuan said, "You two just arrived in Nanyang yesterday, so you are not familiar with the situation in Nanyang. We should have held a meeting to finalize some things later, but the situation is urgent, so today we called you two for a secretary's office meeting. Before the meeting, let's talk about what you think. "
Zhang Zhiyuan's move was obviously aimed at Yang Derong. He had just arrived in Nanyang, so what could he think? But he just wanted to see what he thought. Yang Derong seemed to have a fishbone stuck in his throat. When he breathed, it made people worry for him, and he closed his eyes before he could catch his breath. He sat there smoking, as if he did not take Zhang Zhiyuan's words seriously.
Ma Feifei was ready to make a move. Ma Feifei was the first female Deputy Secretary of the County party committee in the history of Nanyang. She was also the first leading cadre. If they did not divide the work according to the division of labor, she could be on the same level as Zhang Zhiyuan and Yang Derong. There was no superior and subordinate relationship between them. In addition, she had worked in the municipal government for many years, so her temperament and style were naturally different. Seeing that Yang Derong did not speak, she spoke first. "Secretary Zhang, although I have just arrived in Nanyang County, I more or less know about Nanyang. The weak grassroots Party organizations in the rural areas are not only a big problem in the county, but also in the whole city. Therefore, I hope to put more effort in this area during my term and strive to improve it."
Ma Feifei was very cooperative with Zhang Zhiyuan. Zhang Zhiyuan immediately replied, "Secretary Ma's idea is very good. The construction of grassroots organizations is an unconventional work, and it is very necessary and urgent. I completely agree. This can be used as a topic to be discussed by the Standing Committee. If it is approved, the county finance will allocate special funds to do a good job in this work. "
Hearing this, Yang Derong was not happy. He had the financial power in his hands. How could Zhang Zhiyuan make a decision without asking for his opinion? He could not be arbitrary just because he was the top leader. He interrupted, "Secretary Ma's idea is good, but this work cannot be done overnight. Moreover, the investment line is long. According to Nanyang's financial resources, it is not the time to do these superficial things. In my opinion, economic construction should be the center."
His words offended Ma Feifei. Ma Feifei glanced at him from the corner of her eyes and sneered. "County Yang, what do you mean by superficial things? Do you think Party building is superficial things? If you have this kind of idea, it means that you do not have a strong sense of Party spirit and purpose. Furthermore, it means that you lack Party spirit. If that is the case, how can you become a qualified leader? "
Before Ma Feifei finished her sentence, the atmosphere was already tense. Women had a natural advantage. They could not be beaten or scolded, and beautiful women had an even greater advantage. Yang Derong did not expect Ma Feifei to be so eloquent. He smiled and said, "Secretary Ma, it is not that I cannot do Party building. What I mean is that it is not too late to do it after the county's financial resources are strengthened."
"Hmph, according to County Yang, if we cannot develop, then we should not do Party building, right?" Ma Feifei was angry.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Zhiyuan was happy. Now that there was a conflict between the two of them, at least Ma Feifei could be on his side. In this way, there would be one more member of the Standing Committee. Among the nine members of the Standing Committee, Yan Dongsen, the Minister of Organization, Pei Qifeng, the Minister of Publicity, Liao Minyuan, the Secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, and Xiao Dingyuan, the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, were not sure. Tian Guohua, the Executive Deputy County Head, could be fought over. The Minister of Armed Forces had always been neutral, so there were many variables.
Zhang Zhiyuan immediately stopped and said, "Okay, this is just an idea. We can discuss it later. Comrade Derong, tell me what you think. "
Yang Derong said in a lofty manner, "I came from Maping County, a big coal-producing county, and I have always been in charge of coal enterprises. Nanyang is also a coal county. I hope to make full use of my strengths and revitalize the coal enterprises."
"Good!" Zhang Zhiyuan applauded and said excitedly, "Comrade Derong's idea coincides with mine. I also have the same idea. I want to expand the Nanyang coal enterprises to a new height. What are your specific ideas? "
