"Oh! Oh, it's Minister Lu. What brings you here? What a rare guest. Come and sit! " Deputy Director Li Jiansheng said as he turned off the computer in a panic. Perhaps he wasn't familiar with the operation as he turned on the sound system. Moans and moans could be heard coming from the system.
Lu Yiwei stood awkwardly on the ground, not knowing whether to stand or sit. He waited for Li Jiansheng to finish his work.
Li Jiansheng's face turned red as he fiddled with it for a long time without turning it off.
Because the sound was so loud, it could probably be heard even in the corridor. Lu Yiwei hurriedly pulled out the bolt, and it instantly quietened down. Li Jiansheng smiled bitterly and didn't know what to do.
Lu Yiwei didn't want to meddle in this matter, not to mention that it wasn't within his scope of responsibility. Li Jiansheng looked gentle on the surface, but he didn't expect that he would be watching a pornographic video in the office in broad daylight.
"Minister Lu, have a seat!" Li Jiansheng said as he picked up the cigarette on the desk and passed it to Lu Yiwei. "Minister Lu, what tea would you like?"
Lu Yiwei sat on the sofa. When he looked up, he saw that Li Jiansheng's crotch was still wide open. His little brother was still propped up in a tent. When he looked carefully, there was some unknown liquid on his pants. He suddenly felt nauseous. He took the cigarette and thought for a moment before taking it out from his pocket and passed it to Li Jiansheng. "Here, have this."
Li Jiansheng saw that it was Zhonghua and put away his Hongtashan. He smiled and took the cigarette. "Minister Lu, if I remember correctly, this is your first time coming to our office."
Lu Yiwei looked at Li Jiansheng's wretched expression and his mood worsened. He pouted his lips at Li Jiansheng and picked up the newspaper on the coffee table.
Li Jiansheng looked down and his face instantly turned green. He quickly tidied up his clothes and explained with a bitter smile. "Minister Lu, I just opened a webpage and couldn't help but look …"
"Where did Director Fang go?" Lu Yiwei wasn't interested in Li Jiansheng's matters and interrupted him.
Li Jiansheng replied, "Director Fang went on a business trip yesterday. He said he would be gone for a week."
"Where did he go?"
"I'm not sure. Director Fang didn't say anything when he left, so I didn't ask."
"Can you contact him?"
"Yes, I will contact you now." As he spoke, Li Jiansheng picked up the phone on his desk and called several times, but to no avail. He said embarrassedly, "Minister Lu, Chief Fang's phone is off. I can't do anything about it."
Fang Zhongkai's sudden business trip was somewhat unexpected. Lu Yiwei said, "Where are the audit documents for Shuyang Coal Mine's restructuring? Secretary Zhang wants to see it now. "
When Li Jiansheng heard it was about this, he said, "The audit of Shuyang Coal Mine is being carried out by another deputy director. He is coincidentally not here today, so I will give him a call now."
Fortunately, the call went through. Li Jiansheng chattered for a while before hanging up. "Minister Lu, Director Su said that the County Kao took the documents and hasn't returned them yet."
As expected, Lu Yiwei asked, "Do you have a copy? You can also make copies. "
"Wait here, I will go to the office and ask." Li Jiansheng got up and went downstairs.
After a while, Li Jiansheng came up and said, "Minister Lu, there are three sets of audit documents. One is in the Audit Office, one is in the Finance Department, and one is in the Archives Department."
As long as the other documents were still there, it was fine. Without further ado, Lu Yiwei got up and called Xiao Zhixiong as he walked out.
"Minister Lu, you're leaving …" Li Jiansheng stood at the door and said goodbye. Lu Yiwei went downstairs without looking back.
When Xiao Zhixiong received Lu Yiwei's call, he did not dare to be careless and quickly arranged for Song Yong to carry it out. However, the result was shocking. The entire set of materials had disappeared without a trace.
Lu Yiwei felt that something was amiss and went to the Archives Department to check again. The people in the Archives Department answered quickly, saying that the documents were never handed over to the Archives Department.
The situation gradually became clear, and Lu Yiwei firmly believed that Gao Bowen was behind this. What should he do? If he could not get the original documents and could not see the historical records, the initiative would be completely in the hands of Gao Bowen. No matter what he said, it would be extremely disadvantageous to Zhang Zhiyuan.
Lu Yiwei did not believe that Zhang Zhiyuan would take away the money. This was not his style. Besides, if Zhang Zhiyuan wanted to make money, he did not need to make a fuss about this. Someone else had given him more than this amount. Who was it? Was it really Bai Yuxin?
Bai Yuxin had a bad record when he was in the Municipal Finance Department. He amassed a lot of money, especially during the restructuring of state-owned enterprises. With this record, Lu Yiwei could not help but suspect Bai Yuxin. But he had already been transferred. Even if he was not transferred, he could not confront him face to face.
He had no clue. Lu Yiwei thought for a long time and decided not to report to Zhang Zhiyuan first. Instead, he went to the current Baitai Coal Company with an attitude of giving it a try.
Li Chunni was still not there. The person who received him was General Manager Xue Liang. After explaining the purpose of his visit, Xue Liang arranged for someone to search. Fortunately, they found a set of photocopies. Lu Yiwei carried a stack of documents and rushed back to the county town.
On the fourth floor of the County party committee, Lu Yiwei glanced at Xiao Yang's office when he passed by. He saw Xiao Yang concentrating on reading a pile of documents. Lu Yiwei walked in with curiosity.
"What are you looking at?" Lu Yiwei walked in front of Xiao Yang and stared at him for a long time. Xiao Yang did not notice. Lu Yiwei suddenly spoke. He stood up in shock and said respectfully, "Minister Lu, I am sorry. I did not see you come in …"
Lu Yiwei pressed Xiao Yang down on the chair and picked up the documents on the table. "You don't have to be so polite with me. We are brothers. In the future, you can call me by my title in public. Just call me brother in private. There is no need to be so particular."
Xiao Yang was a little hesitant. He nodded reluctantly.
Lu Yiwei found that Xiao Yang had changed. It had only been a few days, and he had become like this. In the past, Xiao Yang was full of energy. He had an extraordinary way of talking. His speech was clear, and his tone was high. There was not a trace of pretentiousness. But now, his voice was soft, his attitude was polite, and he was restrained in his work. Even his actions were careful. He was simply a different person.
But it was no wonder. Wasn't he like this in the past? Before entering the government office, he lived a carefree and unrestrained life. He dressed casually, spoke casually, and did whatever he wanted. After entering the government office, he came into contact with more leaders. He slowly became familiar with the rules of the officialdom. He understood the relationship between superiors and subordinates. He was used to yielding to the oppression of power. He was extra careful at all times, afraid that any action or word would offend the leaders and cause him trouble.
This was the officialdom. No matter how outstanding you were on campus or how glorious you were in society, once you stepped into the officialdom, your former hobbies would be stranded, your former ambitions would be abandoned, your former ideals would turn into bubbles, and your former dreams would drift away with the wind. It was like walking into a dead end filled with thorns. The deeper you walked, the more depressed you became, and the less hope you could see. When you looked up, all you could see was the sky the size of a palm.
Not only that, you had to be prepared to deal with all kinds of intrigue, framing, and deception. You were trembling with fear as if you were walking on thin ice. Sometimes, you would tremble with fear, and sometimes, you would be on tenterhooks. Your nerves were stretched taut all day long, and you were constantly on guard against hidden arrows.
People often compared the officialdom to Ukiyo-e. It was either filthy or worldly. It depicted the customs of the world in the cycle of life and death. Everything was so illusory, but at the same time, everything was so real.
When Lu Yiwei saw Xiao Yang flipping through the reports that he had written in the past, he smiled. "If you really want to learn, I don't recommend you to look at what I've written. This is something that I wrote many years ago. My writing technique is immature, and the concept isn't high. Furthermore, the content is empty, and it's flashy without substance. Writing isn't something that can be practiced in a day or two, and it requires time and experience. If you really want to learn, I suggest you take a look at Mr. Duan's writing. His writing is exquisite, and the language is concise. It's worth learning from him. "
Hearing Lu Yiwei's guidance, Xiao Yang expressed his gratitude, "Thank you for your guidance. I feel that your writing is pretty good. The words and sentences are beautiful, and your writing is smooth. I've read it to my heart's content."
Hearing Xiao Yang's praise, Lu Yiwei felt elated in his heart. Who doesn't like to listen to flattery? It was no wonder why those bootlickers could climb so fast. "Don't flatter me. As long as you're willing to learn, I believe that you'll be better than me." Lu Yiwei replied.
Nodding his head, Xiao Yang replied, "I will still need your guidance in the future."
Raising his head, Lu Yiwei's gaze coincidentally met with Xiao Yang's. He suddenly realised that Xiao Yang looked similar to him. Could he be his long-lost younger brother, Lu Yifeng? However, he soon rejected this thought. There were many people who looked similar, not to mention that Xiao Yang's family background didn't match with his family's situation, so he might be overthinking it.
With a trace of emotion, Lu Yiwei started to care about Xiao Yang's private life. "Where are you staying?"
"Mr. Du has found a dormitory in the Old County party committee."
"Oh, so you're going back to Wujiao Town to visit the old lady tomorrow?"
"I can't now." Xiao Yang replied, "I'll go back once every two or three days. The old lady is still in good health."
"Oh." Lu Yiwei said with concern, "You're unfamiliar with Nanyang, and you don't have any relatives. If you need anything, just tell me. I'll help if I can. If I can't, I'll find a way to help you. Do you understand?"
"Thank you, thank you!" Xiao Yang was so touched that he didn't know what to say. Lu Yiwei was the first person who cared about him. How could he not be touched?
After talking about private matters, Lu Yiwei pointed at Zhang Zhiyuan's room and said, "Is Secretary Zhang still resting?"
"Yes." Xiao Yang nodded and said, "I don't know why, but Secretary Zhang has been in a bad mood these days. I didn't dare to ask."
Lu Yiwei suddenly said seriously, "Xiao Yang, I have to criticize you for this. Since you're Secretary Zhang's secretary, you have to pay close attention to Secretary Zhang's every move. Whether it's his psychological changes or his physical condition, you have to be aware of them. For example, Secretary Zhang has high blood pressure. You have to check if he has medicine, and you have to always have it with you, just in case. Secretary Zhang is under a lot of pressure at work and has constipation. You have to prepare more fruits. Also, when Secretary Zhang is in a bad mood, you have to find out the reason. If you can help him, you have to find a way to help him. Do you understand? "
