Lu Yiwei tore off a stack of calendars that had not been touched for a long time and said, "The village will be electing a new chief soon. I have thought about it. You will be the next chief of Dongwa Village."
Hearing this, Li Haidong put down the cigarette he had raised to his lips. He could not believe his ears and asked again, "Brother Lu, what did you say? Did I hear you correctly? "
Lu Yiwei turned around and pushed up his glasses. "You didn't hear me wrong. I said you'll be the next village chief."
"How … how is that possible?" Li Haidong was a little agitated and stammered. His hands could not stop shaking.
"How is that impossible? I have seen the changes in you over the years. Everyone in the village has seen it too. Who would dare to say that you are a coward? Just now, Old Han came to me and said that he will not be the next chief. You will be the next chief. I will call the villagers for a meeting tonight. I will inform everyone about this. You must be mentally prepared, "Lu Yiwei said.
Li Haidong threw away the cigarette in his hand and moved in front of Lu Yiwei. He grabbed Lu Yiwei's arm and said, "Brother Lu, am I dreaming?"
Lu Yiwei slapped Li Haidong's head and smiled. "Do you feel anything?" "Yes, yes, yes, yes.
"Yes, yes, yes. Hehe, Brother Lu, you're too good to me. How can I ever thank you? You know, I've never wanted to be a village chief in my life, and I never expected to meet someone like you. It seems like this is all the good fortune of my dead parents," Li Haidong said, tears welling up in his eyes.
Lu Yiwei was also very emotional. He said, "You don't have to thank me. This is the result of your own hard work. As your brother, there is nothing I can do to help you. I just gave you a push at a critical moment. As for what you do in the future, it will depend on your luck. "
Li Haidong immediately collapsed like a deflated ball. He said, "It is useless for you to support me alone. Whether the villagers support me or not is another matter."
Lu Yiwei had expected Li Haidong to say this. He said, "You don't have to worry about this. We will hold a village meeting tonight and everything will be decided. I can guarantee that you will be the chief."
Li Haidong cheered up again. He said, "Since Brother Lu says so, I, Li Haidong, have no more to say. I hope that under your leadership, I can truly do something for Dongwa Village. I will not let down my dead parents."
"Alright, I have to go back to the county now. Hurry up and dye your yellow hair back. Have you seen any chief look like you?" Lu Yiwei urged.
Seeing that Lu Yiwei had started calling him chief, Li Haidong was indescribably happy. He scratched his head and grinned. He said, "Okay, I will go to town and dye it back."
Lu Yiwei wanted to go to the county to find the director of the tourism bureau, Ma Zhiming. He wanted to accompany him to the county agriculture committee to see if the agricultural tax could be reduced this year. Although it was not much, it was better to pay less.
As soon as he left Beihe Town, Lu Yiwei received an unprecedented phone call from the town. "Mayor Lu, Secretary Wei wants to inform you to be at the town government meeting room at ten o 'clock."
"What is it?" After Lu Yiwei was kicked out of North River Town, he wasn't notified of any activities in the town. He was basically cut off from the town. This was the first time in a few years that he was called to a meeting, and he wasn't used to it.
"It's about this year's election meeting. Secretary Wei wants to inform you to attend," the person on the other end of the phone said.
Lu Yiwei looked at his watch. It was almost ten o 'clock. At this moment, he was wondering what Wei Guoqiang wanted to do. In the past years, he had never been informed of the election. This time, the sun had risen from the west. Thinking that Li Haidong was going to take over as the chief of Dongwa Village and Niu Fuyong was going to run for the chief of Beihe Village, there was no harm in attending. So he said, "Okay, got it." After hanging up, Lu Yiwei turned the car around and drove to the town government building.
When he entered the town government building, the government officials were still looking at this weirdo with a strange look. When Lu Yiwei entered the building, the people who were entering and exiting the building quickly moved away as if they had encountered a plague. Those who could not avoid him in time nodded awkwardly as a greeting and quickly left. Lu Yiwei was already used to this kind of look. He just smiled indifferently and snorted.
At the end of the day, the knot in their hearts was because the County party committee secretary Liu Kecheng and the town party committee secretary Wei Guoqiang did not like Lu Yiwei. They were afraid that they would bring trouble to themselves if they had anything to do with him. In fact, five years had passed. There was no need for the government officials to treat Lu Yiwei this way. It was said that time was the best tempering agent, but compared to the closed Beihe Town, hitting someone who was down was much more entertaining than a big show.
Lu Yiwei went to the small meeting room on the second floor and saw that it was already full of people. They were all considered leaders of the town. They were talking and laughing at first, but when they saw Lu Yiwei, they became much more restrained. Lu Yiwei did not care. He casually found a seat by the window and sat down.
