"That's it then. I hope that the Shiwan Township Government will cooperate fully and eliminate all the poachers as soon as possible. If you have any difficulties, we can lend a hand. However, our methods are relatively radical. No matter what, I came to Shiwan Township to invest and create wealth for Nanyang County. It's most important to be harmonious and make money. As a member of the County party committee Standing Committee, I believe that you have a certain political awareness and acumen. Alright, I won't say anything unnecessary. Another day, another day, let's get together and have a good drink! "After Ding Changhua finished speaking, he patted Lu Yiwei's shoulder and left with Liu Qiang.
The big Benz drove out of the township government office in a unique manner under the envious gaze of the crowd. Lu Yiwei stood in the office for a long time, unable to regain his senses.
The immigration project was ruined? Lu Yiwei couldn't believe that it was true. Back then, Ding Changhua, in front of Mayor Lin Haifeng, Executive Deputy Mayor Su Qiming, as well as Zhang Zhiyuan and Yang Derong, had confidently patted his chest and said that he was willing to fork out ten million yuan for the people's livelihood project. In just a few days, the people's livelihood project had turned into a coke plant and a coal washing plant. It was shocking and unbelievable.
Policies changed day and night, and projects were pushed forward in the morning. This was a unique ideology in the process of China's reform and opening up. The development of China was undoubtedly inexperienced, and it needed to be constantly revised, perfected, and supplemented step by step. It was like patching clothes when they were torn, and patching again when the patches were broken. When the clothes were patched up, it would be airtight, but it would leave an extremely ugly scar that was deeply engraved on the shoulders of the giants of history.
A man's dignity was his face and backbone, while the government's dignity was its credibility. The leader was the government's spokesperson. Making decisions on policies and projects was like spitting saliva and nailing nails. Words carried enormous weight, and words were like mountains. It was not like what was decided today could be overturned tomorrow. Some people even refused to admit it, spouted nonsense, and made irresponsible excuses, turning square into round, and pushing the blame onto you. In the long run, it was hard to know which words were true and which were false. The subordinates tried to figure out the meaning behind every word. Every decision was not open and transparent. Often, it was used by the people to bypass the law and exploit loopholes, trampling on the government's credibility until there was no dignity to speak of. As for the common people, there was only mystery, fear, and anger that they dared not voice out.
Lu Yiwei couldn't believe it. He went back to his desk and picked up the phone. With trembling fingers, he pressed Su Qiming's number. He was desperate to know what was going on!
Just as the call was about to go through, Lu Yiwei hung up in a panic. It was easy for people to act irrationally when they were nervous or angry. Lu Yiwei almost made this common sense mistake. He could not question Su Qiming, and he could not bypass Zhang Zhiyuan to report directly to him. This was a taboo in officialdom, and no leader could tolerate it.
Lu Yiwei sat in front of his desk and lit a cigarette. He puffed at it but still couldn't find a clue. In desperation, he plucked up the courage to call Zhang Zhiyuan.
After the call was connected, Lu Yiwei stuck out his butt and said, "Secretary Zhang, I want to report my work to you."
"Oh." Zhang Zhiyuan was very cold and said, "I am not in Nanyang now. Come to my office tomorrow morning."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Yiwei's long-suppressed emotions finally exploded. He grabbed the phone and threw it to the ground, pushing all the documents about the immigration project on the table to the ground. He grabbed the planning and design drawings and tore them apart. One by one, they fell to the ground mercilessly. Lu Yiwei still couldn't vent his anger. He lifted his foot and stomped on the pile of documents until they were beyond recognition. Then, he panted and sat on the chair.
Lu Yiwei's movement was so loud that everyone in the corridor heard it. People in the offices opened their doors and poked their heads out to see what was going on. Song Yong, who was in the office next door, also heard it. He hurried over and pushed the door open.
"Yiwei, what happened to you?" Song Yong saw the scattered documents on the ground and looked at Lu Yiwei in horror.
Lu Yiwei leaned on the chair weakly and didn't make a sound.
Song Yong quickly closed and locked the door. He walked to Lu Yiwei and said softly, "Yiwei, you were fine just now. Why are you so angry? Look, these documents were painstakingly made by you day and night. How could you tear them all up? "
Lu Yiwei smiled bitterly and sat up. He took out a bottle of wine from the cabinet and pulled Song Yong into the bedroom. He unscrewed the cap and poured two glasses of wine. He passed it to Song Yong and said, "Come, Song Yong, let's drink."
"What's going on? Are you trying to kill me? "Song Yong didn't care about drinking and asked anxiously.
"You drink first. I will tell you after you drink!" He said and drank the wine first.
Song Yong had no problem drinking. He picked up a cup of wine and gulped it down.
Lu Yiwei refilled his glass again and smiled helplessly. He looked at Song Yong and said, "Song Yong, tell me the truth. Am I a failure?"
Song Yong felt somewhat baffled. He shook his head and said, "You always think of something. Why are you talking about this?"
"I want to hear the truth!" Lu Yiwei raised his voice and said firmly.
Song Yong realized what happened and said, "If you are considered a failure, then no one else has succeeded. A 32-year-old deputy director, I don't think there are many in the city. No one is not envious of you. Even I am envious of you. "
"Really?" Lu Yiwei said in disbelief. "What is success? Is this success?"
"Then what else do you want?" Song Yong was completely confused by Lu Yiwei. He said bluntly, "I think I will be like this for the rest of my life. But you are different. Maybe in two years, you will be promoted to the next level. Who is as lucky as you?"
Lu Yiwei kept shaking his head. He picked up his wine cup and drank more than half of it before saying, "Song Yong, I have something to tell you seriously …" Although he had drunk wine, Lu Yiwei was still clear-headed. He immediately swallowed his words. He could not say anything before he understood the situation.
"Huh?" Song Yong waited to hear the second half of the sentence, but Lu Yiwei did not say anything.
Lu Yiwei clinked his glass with Song Yong and said, "Brother, I …" He did not know how to express his feelings at this moment and did not know where to start.
Seeing that Lu Yiwei had drunk too much, Song Yong did not ask anymore. He helped him lie on the bed and said, "Don't say anything. Rest for a while. We will talk when you wake up."
Having not slept all night and drunk, Lu Yiwei was already snoring after lying on the pillow for less than a minute.
Song Yong did not know what happened. Looking at the haggard Lu Yiwei, he shook his head helplessly. He took off Lu Yiwei's shoes and covered him with a blanket. Then, he tidied up the office and closed the door.
Ding Changhua brought Liu Qiang out of Shiwan Village and went straight to the County party committee's compound.
In Yang Derong's office, the three of them were having a secret discussion. Ding Changhua said, "I just came from Shiwan Village. I have already informed Lu Yiwei. You will talk to him later and ask him to withdraw the project as soon as possible so that I can start as soon as possible. The sooner this is done, the better. Seeing that the price of coal is going to skyrocket, I have to be ahead of time. "
Yang Derong patted his chest and guaranteed, "Old Ding, leave this to me. I won't hinder your work. If you want to start, you can enter now. Don't worry, even if Lu Yiwei has three guts, no one will dare to stop you. "
Ding Changhua laughed and said, "I have always said that you, Old Yang, are a sly fox. I have to hand it to you. Alright then, I have settled the matters above. The rest is up to you. I will stick to the original plan and give you three points. How about that? "
"Haha, Old Ding, you are too courteous." Yang Derong was so happy that he could not close his mouth. He said, "We are family, there is no need to be so polite. Everything is fine on my side. The key is on Mayor Lin's side. If there is no problem on his side, there will naturally be no problem on my side. "
"Alright then! This matter is settled. "Ding Changhua said," Also, how is the 300 mu of land in the county? "
"This matter cannot be rushed. It is still being worked on." Yang Derong lowered his voice and said, "You know Zhang Zhiyuan too. He is a stubborn person. I will talk to him when it is done."
Ding Changhua's face darkened. He said, "If it really cannot be done, then think of a way to get rid of him. This bookworm is far from his master, Guo Jinzhu. He is very stubborn. I have been dealing with him for so many years. He is not bad in all aspects, but he is stubborn. "
Ding Changhua said what was on Yang Derong's mind. He deliberately said, "I am a county magistrate. How can I openly argue with him? You have to handle this matter."
Ding Changhua said, "Haven't I already given you a suggestion? If you can't pry Zhang Zhiyuan out of the way, can you not pry Lu Yiwei out of the way? Let's take him down first. "
Yang Derong smiled bitterly. "Old Ding, Lu Yiwei's appointment to the Standing Committee was approved by Secretary Qin of the Municipal Party Committee. He has only been in office for a month. How can I do it? Besides, why should I do it? "
Ding Changhua was very dissatisfied with Yang Derong's attitude. He raised his voice and said, "If you have something on him, you can get rid of him in office for a day, much less a month. I don't care how you do it. The land must be taken down before Labor Day! You must know that this land is for Mayor Lin's son-in-law to practice. "As he said, he looked at Liu Qiang.
Liu Qiang said shyly, "Uncle Ding, we haven't even started yet. Don't go around announcing it."
"Haha …" Ding Changhua and Yang Derong laughed. Yang Derong smiled. "I say, Qiangzi, you can't compare to your dad in this. Learn more from your Uncle Ding and get familiar with the work. You see how much Old Ding values you. A man should act like a man! "
"Well, Qiangzi has never experienced it. Don't make it difficult for him. Mayor Lin and Kecheng have repeatedly told me not to expose his identity and not to let him suffer any grievances. Now that he is in your territory, this great responsibility will be handed over to you. If anything happens to our Qiangzi, I want to see how you will explain it! "
"Don't worry. Leave Qiangzi to me. As long as he is in Nanyang County, he will not suffer any grievances!" Yang Derong said to Liu Qiang, "Qiangzi, if you encounter any difficulties in Nanyang County, just come to me. Uncle Yang will help you, okay?"
Liu Qiang learned and used it. He hurriedly said, "Uncle Yang, I have difficulties now. I need your help."
"Oh?" Yang Derong glanced at Ding Changhua and said, "What difficulties? Tell me."
Liu Qiang straightened his neck and said, "Uncle Yang, my dad was pushed away by Zhang Zhiyuan. You have to help me vent my anger."
When he said this, Yang Derong was stunned. After a while, he said, "Qiangzi, you are still young. Officialdom is not as simple as you think. You think you can do whatever you want? Okay, I know what to do. "
Who was Liu Qiang? He was the only son of Liu Kecheng, former Nanyang County party committee secretary, current member of the municipal party committee, and secretary general of the general office. Half a year ago, he had just returned from studying in France. Lin Jiao, the only daughter of Mayor Lin Haifeng, came back with him.
Liu Kecheng really had a good eye. When he learned that Lin Haifeng was going to send his daughter to study in France, he seized the opportunity and used all his connections to send his son, who couldn't support himself, to France. He also chose the same school and major as Lin Jiao, just to get close to Lin Haifeng.
Before going to France, Liu Kecheng told him more than once that he was not going to France to study, but to boldly pursue Lin Jiao. He must win her heart. You don't have to worry about money. I will provide it in full. You don't have to worry about the diploma. I will take care of it for you. With a thousand words, he won Lin Jiao's heart.
Liu Qiang did not disappoint. After Lin Jiao had been dumped by countless boyfriends, he finally won her heart. After finishing their studies, the two returned to China. Lin Haifeng was quite open-minded about the relationship between the two. As long as his daughter liked it, it was fine.
