"Yiwei, your actions tonight have made me look at you in a new light. If I was in your shoes, I wouldn't have your courage!" Bai Yuxin said from the bottom of her heart.
"Actually, I'm also afraid. But when I think about you and Secretary Zhang sitting behind me, I'm not afraid at all." Lu Yiwei faintly replied.
"I won't hide it from you. I've also been in a frenzy in the past, and I was even more ferocious than you at that time." Bai Yuxin sighed. There was once a fight. My brothers and I violently beat up a wretch. Afterwards, we put him in a sack and threw him into the river from a bridge that was more than seven meters high. Fortunately, that wretch was very lucky. If he had really drowned, I reckon that I would have been in there. But now, I can't do it anymore. I'll panic whenever I see that scene, and it has left a shadow in my heart. "
Lu Yiwei smiled. "I never expected that Department Head Bai would have such a past. I can't do it. I've always been an obedient child since I was young, but I was still bullied. I forced you to that point, and your mind was in a mess. At that time, I thought that as long as you and Secretary Zhang are safe, it's worth it even if it's me! "
Patting on Lu Yiwei's shoulder, Bai Yuxin replied, "You're a man who knows when to submit and when to fight. I really admire you."
Lu Yiwei knew that Bai Yuxin was speaking from the bottom of her heart, so he smiled. "If Department Head Bai encounters any difficulties in the future, I, Lu Yiwei, will definitely be the first to bear the brunt."
"I believe you!" Bai Yuxin nodded her head. "Come, let's not talk anymore. Let's drink!"
After another cup of wine, Bai Yuxin's face suddenly sank and she cautiously said, "Yiwei, I've heard about what happened to you, and I know that you're sad in your heart. But I hope that you can take responsibility for your actions like tonight. Isn't it just a woman? Not to mention that you're still so young. Listen to me and relax. Don't think too much about it, alright?"
"Thank you for your concern, Department Head Bai, but I can handle it." Lu Yiwei replied with exhaustion.
"Don't call me Department Head Bai, call me Brother Bai. What's wrong? How many days have we been away? "Bai Yuxin was a little angry.
Lu Yiwei raised his cup and drained it in one gulp. "Brother Bai, I apologize to you."
"Haha, that's right!" Bai Yuxin said straightforwardly.
After a while, Bai Yuxin said again, "I should be the one apologizing. I didn't do much in the matter of your brother-in-law, Xia Jinpeng. I blame myself. I have just arrived in Gu Chuan County not long ago, and I still have a lot of connections that I need to make. Please forgive me! "
Lu Yiwei comforted him, "What are you talking about? I'm not blaming you. It's all in the past. There's no point in bringing it up again. It's only right to teach him a lesson. "
Bai Yuxin whispered: "Don't worry. After I straighten out my connections, I will deal with that Wang Jianguo. I'm not afraid of him having connections in the province. I can't kill him."
"Forget it!" Lu Yiwei was softhearted. "It's all in the past. Moreover, Wang Jianguo has lost his son. I can understand his feelings. If I were in his shoes, I would have done the same."
Bai Yuxin did not expect Lu Yiwei to help her, but Bai Yuxin was not so kind. "You don't have to worry about this. I will get that old thing to come and beg you."
Lu Yiwei shook his head and did not say a word.
"Let's go for a massage!"
At the same time, Guo Jinzhu and Zhang Zhiyuan were talking in Zhang Zhiyuan's room. Playing chess was just a cover. In fact, they just wanted to sit alone.
Guo Jinzhu said, "There are many things I can't say in front of others. Before we talk, I have bad news for you. You must be mentally prepared. "
Zhang Zhiyuan's heart tightened. He stared at Guo Jinzhu.
Guo Jinzhu took a puff of his cigarette and said, "Do you still remember Liu Kecheng? I heard that he has finished his studies at the Provincial Party Committee's Party School and returned to Bei Zhou City to meet Lin Haifeng in secret. Lin Haifeng intends to make him the Secretary-General of the Municipal Government. If this is true, it will be extremely disadvantageous to you. "
Zhang Zhiyuan did not expect this. He panicked and did not know what to do. Although he did not have many grudges with Liu Kecheng, outsiders had always thought that he was the one who pushed Liu Kecheng away. If he really became Lin Haifeng's lackey, it would only be disadvantageous to his future development. What kind of person was Liu Kecheng? Zhang Zhi was far from being a match for him in a fight. He was a vengeful person who would seek revenge for the smallest grievance.
Seeing that Zhang Zhiyuan was unusually nervous, Guo Jinzhu comforted him, "You don't have to be too nervous. Liu Kecheng will not be able to achieve great things. However, it is difficult to guard against an arrow in the dark. If such a villain sets a trap for you behind your back, it will be enough to make you suffer. So, you don't have to be afraid of him. Don't let your guard down. "
Guo Jinzhu continued, "You just said that Ding Changhua is going to Nanyang to invest. If you analyze it carefully, you will understand Lin Haifeng's intention. He is trying to penetrate his influence into every area. As a coal-producing county, Nanyang is a new battlefield that he has opened up. Otherwise, why would he transfer his confidant from Maping County to Nanyang County? He is scheming and scheming. "
When it came to the level of the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government, Zhang Zhiyuan could not see it. However, after listening to Guo Jinzhu's analysis, he more or less trembled with fear.
Guo Jinzhu continued, "Lin Haifeng has always been unhappy that he did not become the Municipal Party Committee Secretary. This time, he is in a mess with the new Secretary, Qin Xiuwen's concern. They are like fire and water. Lin Haifeng did not compete with Qin Xiuwen in terms of their relationship, but instead used his financial resources to compete with him. This move is indeed impressive. "
"As for Qin Xiuwen, although he is capable, he has been in the government all his life. He does not know how to work at the grassroots level. He is also ignorant and does not know where to start. Most of the time, it is Lin Haifeng who leads him by the nose. However, as a leader appointed by Secretary Huang of the Provincial Party Committee, Lin Haifeng does not dare to openly oppose him. He has to at least give him some face. However, Qin Xiuwen's methods are not good. Compared to the cunning Lin Haifeng, he is far behind. "
"So, if Ding Changhua wants to invest, then let him go. Don't ruin your relationship with Lin Haifeng because of this. It is not worth it. However, don't get too close to Ding Changhua. He is extremely dangerous. "
Guo Jinzhu sighed and said, "Zhiyuan, let me ask you something that I should not ask. What is the main source of your expenses?"
Zhang Zhiyuan said embarrassedly, "I mainly get it from the finance department. Yiwei also uses some of it."
"Yiwei? He has a physical body? "Guo Jinzhu said in surprise.
"No!" Zhang Zhiyuan said, "Yiwei is quite an economic person. I helped him operate the canned food factory in Zhongnan Yang County and earned a few million."
"Oh." Guo Jinzhu recalled the first time Lu Yiwei gave him money and felt a little awkward. He said, "Zhiyuan, I know you are honest, but do you know why so many people are against you?"
"Why?"
"Because you are honest."
"…" Zhang Zhiyuan was speechless.
Guo Jinzhu said meaningfully, "Whether it is the officials under you or the businessmen, they all want to use money to get close to you. But you are a thousand miles away from them. Naturally, they will have a different view of you. I am not saying this to make you greedy, but to learn how to build relationships with people. What is money? Money is the bridge, the only bridge! "
Zhang Zhiyuan could not understand it for a while. He seemed to disagree with Guo Jinzhu's view.
Guo Jinzhu saw through Zhang Zhiyuan's thoughts and said, "If you are not willing to take this path, you can use another method. Since Yang Derong pulled Ding Changhua in, you can also bring your people in. At least you will not be restricted financially. If you want to improve, you will need real money. You can't always rely on the finance and Yiwei, right? Let me tell you, those people in the provincial government have big appetites. A few hundred thousand or a few million won't even make a splash. Take Cai Runnian for example. Don't be fooled by the fact that he used to be a university professor. This old man is greedy. Guess how much did Xu Caimao spend to become a governor? "
"How much?"
Guo Jinzhu stretched out a finger.
"One million?" Zhang Zhiyuan was surprised.
Guo Jinzhu sneered. "A Municipal Party Committee Secretary is only worth one million? You are too naive. I will sue you. Old Xu spent nearly ten million, and this does not include other unseen expenses. "
Zhang Zhiyuan was completely shocked. He did not expect Xu Caimao to climb to the position of the Municipal Party Committee Secretary.
"Don't talk nonsense about this. What I'm trying to tell you is that you can't do anything without money, so you have to find a way out yourself!"
The two were silent for a moment. Guo Jinzhu said again, "Speaking of this, I will say a few more words. The situation in Bei Zhou City is not clear, and your situation is not optimistic. Is there anyone in the city who can help you? I suggest you leave this troublesome place as soon as possible. "
Zhang Zhiyuan echoed, "Mayor Guo, I have thought about this for a long time. I still want to follow you."
"No!" Guo Jinzhu said decisively, "Don't come. The situation here is more complicated than in Bei Zhou. Besides, how can I arrange things for you if you come? Besides, I have not found my footing yet. How can I take care of you? Zhiyuan, you have to look further. Don't always stay in the city. Aim directly at the provincial government. That is where you can display your talents. I heard that the Secretary General of the Provincial Party Committee, Luo Zhongyuan, intended to transfer you to the Provincial Enterprise Reform Leading Group. Why didn't you go? "
"I, I …"
"You are muddle-headed!" Guo Jinzhu said regretfully, "You let go of such a good opportunity. You have to know that the Enterprise Reform Leading Group is directly led by Secretary Huang of the Provincial Party Committee. What does it mean to go in? It means that you can often interact with Secretary Huang. Who has this kind of treatment? Look at Cai Runnian. He is actually just a writer, but he has become a popular political star. Even I have no choice but to submit to him. Why didn't you seize this opportunity? "
After being criticized by Guo Jinzhu, Zhang Zhiyuan seemed to see the light. He had indeed been short-sighted. He had always wanted to make a difference, but in the end, he had been standing still.
