"Yiwei, I heard that you're sick. Are you feeling better?" Yao Na couldn't hold it in any longer and asked.
"Am I sick?" Lu Yiwei spread out his hands and sized him up. "I'm not sick. Aren't I fine?"
Yao Na knew that Lu Yiwei said those words out of anger. She said apologetically, "Yiwei, I know that you don't feel good in your heart. I really didn't know about Rosa's matter. I only heard about it later. No matter what, I was the one who introduced Rosa to you. I also have some responsibility for her leaving without saying goodbye. If you're unhappy, then scold me. You can also hit me. "
Lu Yiwei pursed his lips and shook his head. "Let bygones be bygones. I don't want to mention it again. Why should I scold you? It has nothing to do with you. Don't think too much. "
If Lu Yiwei had scolded her, Yao Na might have felt better. However, he only started to comfort her, which made her feel even more uneasy. She said, "Yiwei, during this period of time, I have mobilized everyone related to Rosa to search for her. The answer I got was the same. No one has seen her. Don't worry, I will continue to search. I will inform you immediately when I find her. "
"Sigh!" Lu Yiwei sighed. "Sister Na, you don't have to be like this. Since Jin and she chose this path, we won't let you guys find her. The pressure in her heart is too great. Perhaps her choice is the best way to relieve herself. I don't hate her, and I won't hate you. We will still be good sisters in the future. "
Yao Na had a whole new level of respect for Lu Yiwei when she heard that he was exonerating Xia Jinhe. She said, "Yiwei, I have always thought that you are a man. You are really a man in handling this matter. Rosa left without saying goodbye. She can't accept anyone. However, you can stand in her perspective and think for her. I admire you. "
Lu Yiwei smiled faintly and said, "What's there to admire? Everyone has the right to choose their own way of life. I, Lu Yiwei, was born a country bumpkin, but I just had to climb up to a higher branch. I can't deny that Jinhe is a good woman. I'm content to know her, really. "
"Then what do you plan to do next?" Yao Na asked cautiously.
"What should we do? Oh! " Lu Yiwei crossed his arms and looked at the ceiling. "I don't want to think about this problem right now. I'm too tired. Let's take a break. Sometimes, I feel that being single isn't that bad. Being free and carefree is the kind of life I want. "
Yao Na knew very well that Lu Yiwei would become braver the more he faced setbacks. This was innate in his bones. "Yiwei, if, I'm saying if, if Rosa comes back one day and is willing to marry you, willing to spend the rest of her life with you, is there still a possibility?"
"What do you think?" Lu Yiwei asked.
"This …" Yao Na awkwardly lowered her head.
The two of them remained silent for a moment before Lu Yiwei said, "I just said that everyone has the right to choose their own way of life. If there are so many what-ifs, I can definitely remarry Li Shu-man, can't I?"
Yao Na seemed to know the answer and said, "Yiwei, no matter what happens in the future, the two of us will always be good sisters. As long as you have any requests, feel free to look for me. I, Yao Na, will definitely do my best."
"Can I look for you if I have any physical needs?" Lu Yiwei joked.
"Sure." Yao Na said seriously. She didn't seem to be joking at all. She picked up her bag from the coffee table and said, "As long as you need it, I can do it anytime." After saying that, she walked out of the door in her leather shoes.
Yao Na seriously answered Lu Yiwei's last question, which made him feel a little embarrassed. He picked up the teacup and drank the last drop of water. He poured another cup and sat in front of the desk. He picked up the research document again and carefully studied it.
According to the division of responsibilities, Lu Yiwei was in charge of the office, the Cadre Department, and the Assessment Office. The work related to the Party building was handled by another deputy minister. But why did Yan Dongsen give this task to him? It was a little overstepping his authority. But in front of his title, there was an additional term "Assist the minister to complete various tasks." If that was the case, it was reasonable and justifiable.
No matter what, this matter was pressing down on him, so he had to do it seriously. The next task was to summarize his work experience and look for bright spots. But where should he start? He had no clue.
After smoking a pack of cigarettes, drinking a few glasses of water, and tearing up a large pile of paper, Lu Yiwei still had no clue. He simply threw the document aside and picked up the list of 12 new civil servants and analyzed them one by one.
Lu Yiwei didn't know how many times he had read this list. Basically, he knew everyone's situation like the back of his hand. The training work should have started a long time ago, but because of Xia Jinpeng's matter, it had been delayed. Research and this work were two different things. It should be started as soon as possible.
Lu Yiwei looked at the calendar again. The time was fixed on this Thursday. He picked up the phone and called Xu Jingye.
"What's the matter?" Xu Jingye rushed over as fast as he could.
Lu Yiwei handed the list to Xu Jingye and said, "Send a notice to the units involved in the list in the name of the Organization Department. These people will be trained for three days. Ask the units to cooperate. Be sure to tell them that they will participate in the training."
"Okay, I'll do it right away!" Although Xu Jingye had a big mouth, he was still good at doing things. He was strong in execution and did things cleanly. Because of this, Lu Yiwei was willing to entrust this important task.
When it was almost time to get off work, Zhang Zhiyuan and Yan Dongsen had not returned yet. Lu Yiwei didn't intend to wait anymore. He got up, locked the door, and went downstairs.
Just as he walked to the car, the deputy county head, Xu Qingshan, just happened to walk out of the County party committee's courtyard and took the initiative to greet Lu Yiwei.
Xu Qingshan got lucky and picked up a deputy county head. It had to be said that this person's luck was quite good. After becoming the deputy county head, Xu Qingshan changed so much that Lu Yiwei almost couldn't recognize him.
First was his hairstyle. It used to be a side parting, and it was standard. Now it was a slicked back hairstyle, and it was sprayed with mousse. It was neatly arranged and shiny. In fact, Xu Qingshan was completely not used to the slicked back hairstyle. Not to mention that the hairline was not high, the key was that his hair was hard. If it was not styled with mousse, it would completely stand up like the mythical character Lei Zhenzi. It was slightly comical.
In the past, he wore a jacket with a white shirt and leather shoes that were always covered with a layer of dust. Now, he wore a suit and a tie. His leather shoes were so spotless that even a mosquito would probably split its legs if it tried to climb on them. This attire was not inappropriate in a big city, but in a small place like Nanyang County, it was completely out of the ordinary, similar to the outlandish attire of young people. The suit was passable, but the bright red tie was really eye-catching. Those who didn't know better would think that it was a salesman.
Manners, too. Xu Qingshan's back was a little hunched, and when he walked, his eyes were always looking at the ground. Everyone thought that he was looking for something. But now, his back was straight, and his hands, which were originally hanging in front of his chest, were clasped behind his back. The speed of his speech had also slowed down, and his tone had also become more mature. Coupled with the addition of a secretary carrying a bag and a glass of water beside him, he was completely different from before.
There was only one step between Section Chief and Deputy Division Chief, but once you took this step, you would be in two different worlds. Xu Qingshan was a living example. Everyone said that one wouldn't be a leader. When one really reached that position, regardless of ability, the first task was to put on airs, distance himself from the masses, and form a clear superior-subordinate relationship with the cadres. That was how an official should be!
"Xu Zhen, oh no, it should be Mayor Xu now, haha." Xu Qingshan made a gesture and waited for Lu Yiwei to come forward. Lu Yiwei didn't care about trifles and took the initiative to greet him.
Xu Qingshan unconsciously fiddled with his hair and said with a smile, "We should have had a meal together a long time ago, but I heard from Secretary Zhang that you were on a business trip, so I didn't disturb you. Are you free tonight? Call Jianwei and Dongsheng out, and let's have a meal together? "
"Sure, I was just worried about not having a place to eat." Lu Yiwei didn't stand on ceremony.
At this moment, Xu Qingshan's secretary took a step forward and whispered, "Mayor Xu, you still have guests tonight …"
"Oh." Xu Qingshan pretended to be enlightened and slapped his forehead, "Yiwei, I'm really sorry, I forgot that I have guests. Sigh! Ever since I became the Deputy Mayor, I haven't had a good day. Not to mention there are a lot of things to do, there are meals one after another, it's really too busy. Now that I think about it, it's really not as carefree as when I was in the Tourism Bureau. If I had a choice, I definitely wouldn't be the Mayor. It's too tiring! "
Lu Yiwei felt that Xu Qingshan's clumsy performance was a bit funny, but he held back and said, "You were born to be a leader! Go do your work, we'll meet again another day! "
"Alright, but it's a promise, we'll meet again another day!" Xu Qingshan emphasized again.
"Alright, then I'll leave first." Saying that, Lu Yiwei got into the car and drove out of the County party committee compound.
Xu Qingshan stood in the compound and looked down at everything, he was in a good mood. He turned around and asked his secretary, "Who has a dinner appointment tonight?"
"Director Li from the Agriculture Bureau."
Life in Nanyang County was really boring, Lu Yiwei drove aimlessly on the street, but he didn't know where to go. After a long detour, he still returned to the Audit Bureau's family compound.
Back to his empty home, Lu Yiwei took off his jacket and laid on the bed, slightly tired. Living alone for a long time, although it was boring, it had a different flavor. But as he grew older, he felt more lonely. Seeing other people coming home from work with their children, and hugging their wife to sleep at night, Lu Yiwei's heart was filled with unspeakable bitterness. This was his fate, so what?
It was getting late, the living room became dark. Lu Yiwei picked up the remote control, turned on the TV, and continued to sleep. This was a habit he had developed over the years, being alone was too quiet, at least he would not be too lonely if he turned on the TV and had someone to talk to.
His mother called and asked him to go back for dinner. Lu Yiwei did not want to go downstairs, he said he had a dinner appointment tonight and hung up. He leaned on the sofa and changed the channels, there was no good program, so he went back to the study room and turned on the computer.
