After listening to Su Qiming's long-winded speech, Lu Yiwei basically understood what he meant, even though his thoughts were a little messy and his words were inaccurate.
In order to eliminate the shadow of his career, Su Qiming hoped to turn the construction of resettlement housing project into a better one and gain more political capital. He didn't feel at ease leaving such a big project to others, so he specifically chose Lu Yiwei to be in charge of this matter. The reason was very simple. This person was trustworthy and easy to control. If the power was handed over to Lu Yiwei, he could even skip the local government's intervention directly. It was reasonable to say that Lu Yiwei was the best candidate.
Lu Yiwei hadn't thought of these twists and turns. From the bottom of his heart, he really wanted to take on this challenge. He also wanted to train himself through this matter, prove himself, and change the views of others. But he knew his own capabilities. Without a diamond, how would he dare to take on a porcelain job? In the past, he lived in the shadow of others. If there was a problem, there would be someone behind him. Now, he was suddenly independent. He was like a young eagle that had just learned to fly. He could fly freely with others, but once he left his mother's embrace, he didn't have the courage to take the first step. One had to know that there were countless eyes behind him. If there was a little mistake, he would be doomed eternally.
After entering the tea house, Zhang Zhiyuan looked at him meaningfully. His eyes were suddenly suspicious, which made Lu Yiwei a little afraid. Until now, he could be sure that this matter was one-sided by Su Qiming. He didn't communicate with him in advance, nor did he communicate with Zhang Zhiyuan in advance, and Zhang Zhiyuan didn't know at all. If this was really the case, Lu Yiwei wouldn't be able to clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
Betrayal was intolerable to anyone. He hadn't left yet, but Lu Yiwei took a different path and went through someone else's door. What did this mean? Zhang Zhiyuan suppressed a bellyful of anger in his heart and sat expressionlessly in his seat.
Lu Yiwei also realized this, but it was hard to explain in front of Su Qiming. He was anxious, but there was nothing he could do.
Su Qiming ordered a Green Pool Fluttering Snow and said with a smile, "What about you two? What would you like to drink?"
"All the same," Zhang Zhiyuan echoed.
"Alright, then we'll use the same one." After ordering the tea, Su Qiming said, "Zhiyuan, Ding Changhua's investment in Nanyang County is a good thing. I can say that no one would dare to take over that mess except for him."
Hearing this, Zhang Zhiyuan was puzzled and asked, "Mayor Su, what do you mean by that?"
Su Qiming purposely kept him in suspense. "Do you know why Qin Erbao was captured?"
This doubt had been bothering Zhang Zhiyuan for a long time. Qin Erbao had fallen into his hands and was rescued by experts twice. Just as he was thinking about the third onslaught, Qin Erbao was suddenly secretly captured, which was somewhat bizarre. Later, it was said that Qin Erbao had offended a provincial leader. As for which leader and why, no one knew.
Su Qiming leaned forward and whispered, "Qin Erbao was arrested under Governor Qiu's order."
"Ah?" Zhang Zhiyuan's eyes widened in shock. He asked impatiently, "How did Qin Erbao get involved with Deputy Governor Qiu?"
"Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?" Su Qiming asked mysteriously.
"Of course it's the truth."
Seeing that the two of them seemed to be avoiding something, Lu Yiwei stood up and said, "Mayor Su, Secretary Zhang, I'll make a trip to the washroom."
"Sit!" Su Qiming pushed Lu Yiwei to his seat and said, "You're not an outsider, so there's no harm in listening. But this matter must not be made public, and it's only between us. "
As Lu Yiwei sat down, Su Qiming said, "This matter is a little complicated, and it's hard to explain it in a few words. You must know that Qin Erbao's backer is Qiu Yuanhang, and his achievements today cannot be separated from Governor Qiu's support. Naturally, Governor Qiu also cannot do without Qin Erbao, and it's a win-win situation. Back then, when Governor Qiu wanted to become a member of the Provincial Party Committee and bribe Qin Erbao, Qin Erbao only gave ¥500,000 to Qiu Yuanhang. Qiu Yuanhang did not even look at it, and threw it out of the window. That was the fuse of the whole incident.
"After that, Ma Linhui confessed their relationship during the interrogation, and even confessed how much money he gave, what he gave, and what he used it for. He told them everything. That's unacceptable! It was a critical period for Qiu Yuanhang's operations, and how could they disturb him because of this? It's said that they arrived at Bei Zhou overnight, and had Mayor Lin forcibly take away the interrogation transcript, and blocked all news. Then, they called Qin Erbao to Jiangdong with the excuse of meeting for a meal. When Qin Erbao arrived in Jiangdong, he did not even get to see Governor Qiu, and was directly taken away by the Provincial Public Security Department. When they arrested him, they accused him of being a vagrant, and then charged him with multiple crimes such as illegal occupation. "
After listening to the bizarre story, Zhang Zhiyuan and Lu Yiwei sighed. Zhang Zhiyuan had asked Guo Jinzhu about Qin Erbao. Guo Jinzhu spoke vaguely, but he didn't manage to come up with a proper explanation. Su Qiming's words were more or less believable.
Su Qiming continued, "I just found out about this. I can't go into the details, but that's the general situation. You don't have to get to the bottom of it. The less you know, the better. You can't go around talking about this, or you'll get yourself into trouble. "It was also at this time that Ding Changhua suddenly appeared and wanted to contract the Erbao Coal Mine. You should know the reason why, right?"
Zhang Zhiyuan was shocked, and so was Lu Yiwei. He seemed to see an intricate network of relationships behind him that could not be cut or sorted out. Everyone played different roles, and played different roles, and the web became tighter and tighter. The core figure of this network was Qiu Yuanhang, a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Deputy Governor of Bei Zhou City.
There were different "small circles" in the officialdom. Most of them were composed of relatives, personalities, interests, fellow townsmen, old classmates, old superiors, old subordinates, and so on. It had existed for thousands of years. Often, with a leader as the center and subordinates' loyalty to the leader as the radius, they formed a group of people who were closely related to each other and helped each other. This kind of small circle seemed invisible in today's society, but it was visible and everywhere. Moreover, it was utilitarian, exclusive, and unorganized.
If you think it's too theoretical, you can imagine our childhood playmates. It's the same principle. I don't want to play with him because he has smelly feet. I think he's a good fighter, and I want to be friends with him. His family is powerful, and I want to be good friends with him. Those who are good at studying gather together, and those who aren't. Birds of a feather flock together. Naturally, a specific circle was formed. It was the same in the officialdom. It was undeniable that there must be a soul figure in this circle.
There was a saying in the current society: If you enter the official group, you must enter the circle. If you enter the official group but not the circle, it is the same as not entering the official group. If you enter the circle, it is better to enter the circle. If you enter the circle but not the official group, it is the same as joining the official group. The core figures used various ties such as blood relations, hometown relations, industry relations, and academic relations to connect the "stakeholders" who controlled various resources organically to form an "elite alliance." Then, through various forms such as "cooperation between politics and business", "cooperation between learning and business", "cooperation between politics and business", "cooperation between politics and business", "cooperation between politics and business", "cooperation between politics and business", "cooperation between politics and business", "cooperation between politics and business", "cooperation between politics and business", "cooperation between politics and business", and "cooperation between politics and science" and other forms to jointly divide the limited social resources for the members of the circle.
Of course, not everyone could enter the circle. The circle could be big or small. If it was big, it could form a huge interest group. If it was small, it could become a top-level design that manipulated interests. It could intersect, be tangential, or separate. No matter how talented or knowledgeable you were, no matter how capable or experienced you were, if you couldn't even touch the door, go play somewhere else! A leader's driver was respectfully called "second-in-command". His power could not be underestimated.
Back in Nanyang's officialdom, he also existed. The core of Zhang Zhiyuan's circle was originally Tan Lao, who was idle at home. After he lost his power, he quickly formed a new circle and became a core member of the "East Lake Club". The core figure was Cai Runnian. And Yang Derong's circle was centered around Qiu Yuanhang.
Lu Yiwei was considered a marginal figure in the "East Lake Club" circle. If it was carefully divided, he couldn't even touch the door of the circle.
After Su Qiming finished speaking, Zhang Zhiyuan seemed to understand something and said, "After Mayor Su's words, I suddenly saw the light. But Old Ding and I used to be friends, so I still have to give him face! "
"Friends?" Su Qiming sneered, "You see Ding Changhua as a friend, but does he see you as a friend? The word 'friend' can never be said. There are only eternal interests, but there are no eternal friends. "
Su Qiming's words made Zhang Zhiyuan's face turn ugly. He picked up his teacup and took a sip of tea to cover up.
Su Qiming did not notice the change in Zhang Zhiyuan and said, "Ding Changhua's investment is basically a foregone conclusion. It's not up to you even if you don't agree. Let's talk about tonight's matter. I'm afraid you might misunderstand me, so I let Yiwei be in charge of the resettlement housing project without discussing with you or seeking Yiwei's opinion. Don't overthink it. "
Su Qiming untied the knot in their hearts. Zhang Zhiyuan said, "How can I misunderstand you? Actually, I have always wanted to put Yiwei in an important position, but I couldn't find a suitable position for him. It's best for you to let him handle this project. "
"I'm glad that you can think this way. Yiwei is still young, and he should be given the burden. Let me say something that I shouldn't say. It's not a smart move to let him go to the Organization Department. What kind of unit is the Organization Department? It's a place where old foxes go. If you are transferred away, it will be hard for Yiwei to come back. Since you let Yiwei be in charge of this project, how do you plan to arrange him? "
As a leader, he hated being told what to do. Zhang Zhiyuan was in a bad mood the whole night. Now, Su Qiming kept asking him. Was this intentional? He said, "Mayor Su, how about this? Set up a command center and let Yiwei be in charge of this project. "
"Oh, that's fine." Su Qiming said thoughtfully, "Is there any other way?"
Zhang Zhiyuan thought for a while and said, "How about letting him be the Shiwan Township Party Committee Secretary and Mayor? This way, he can be in charge of the project and coordinate the local relations."
