Early the next morning, Pan Chengjun and Li Haidong returned to Eastern City and began their journey of gold digging. As for Lu Yiwei, he still had to deal with the mess in Shiwan Village. After breakfast, he decided to make a trip to the Ministry of Education.
The County gave Lu Yiwei a Passat sedan according to the treatment given to the leaders of the County. This car was purchased by Yang Derong after he came to the County, and he bought five of them at once. Originally, it was not his turn, but Zhang Zhiyuan waved his pen and it landed in his hands.
The Passat's performance was mediocre, its 2.0 CC was sufficient, its spacious interior, and its sturdy frame made it the "designated car" of the county leaders. According to the license plate of a leader above the deputy division level, Lu Yiwei's car had the "West E 99098" license plate. There were only a few of such license plates in Nanyang County, a symbol of distinguished status. As long as it was in Bei Zhou, there was no need to pay a toll with this license plate. At the toll booth, the crossbar would be raised automatically, and the road was smooth. Even if there were violations, the traffic police would delete the license plate immediately. Lu Yiwei was satisfied with such privileges, and it allowed him to experience the pleasure of being a leader.
The car drove into the Ministry of Education, and the sharp-eyed guard saw the license plate of a county leader. He rushed out to greet them, shouting for the people in the building to inform the leader.
After the car was parked, the guard immediately went to the front passenger seat to open the door. When he opened the door, there was no one, and just as he was feeling puzzled, he saw Lu Yiwei get out of the driver's seat.
"Mr. Lu, you're here." The guard went to the driver's seat, bowing and greeting.
Lu Yiwei pretended to be deep in thought, asking expressionlessly, "Is Director Huang here?"
"Yes, yes, I'll bring you up."
"Aiya! Mr. Lu, welcome. Sorry for not coming out to greet you. " The director of the Ministry of Education, Huang Dayu, jogged down, and the moment he exited the hall, he ran over with his butt in the air, holding onto Lu Yiwei's hand tightly. "No wonder the magpies were chirping non-stop this morning. I guessed someone important was coming, but I didn't expect it to be you! Look, you've brought light to my humble dwelling, haha. "
For the old foxes in the officialdom, flattery and flattery were always at the tip of their tongues, and they would come out of their mouths at will. But such flattery was pleasing to the ear. Lu Yiwei joked, "Director Huang, you sure know how to speak. I just went to the Development and Reform Bureau and the Chief Cao said the same thing, haha."
Huang Dayu reacted quickly and immediately said, "Look, even the magpies are running behind your butt. I have to shake hands with you more often and bask in your happiness. Haha."
After exchanging greetings for a while, Huang Dayu took Lu Yiwei's hand and said, "Let's go to my office. It's not easy for you to come here, so I'll tie you up here today. You must give me face and have a meal, okay?"
"What do you mean, this is giving face. Haha, Yiwei, you're such a good friend." Huang Dayu's voice was loud, the entire corridor could hear him, and people peeked in from time to time.
"What do you mean by 'freeloading'? This is called 'giving face'. Haha, Yiwei, you're too kind." Huang Dayu's voice was so loud that the entire corridor could hear him. From time to time, people would look over. "What do you mean by that, this is giving face. Haha, Yiwei, you're such a good friend." Huang Dayu's voice was loud, the entire corridor could hear him, and people peeked in from time to time.
Almost everyone was looking at him with envy, sighing at Lu Yiwei for becoming a member of the Standing Committee at such a young age. After the woman left, Huang Dayu joked, "Mr. Lu, what do you think?
He's a student assigned here last year, do you want me to introduce him to you? " This is a college student who was assigned here last year. Do you want me to introduce him to you? "
Lu Yiwei laughed, "I'm already so old, do you want me to introduce him to you?" Lu Yiwei smiled and said, "I'm already so old. I still want to be an old cow nibbling on young grass. I don't have that kind of luck."
"I'm serious!" Huang Dayu said with a straight face, "This girl used to be a teacher at No.1 Middle School. I thought she was good, so I transferred her to the police station. If you put a bucket here, do you think your mood will be good? I'll ask her later, if you like. With your qualifications, aren't you just rushing to stick to him? "
"There's really no need for that!" Lu Yiwei hurriedly waved his hand. "Thank you for your concern, Director Huang, but this matter can't be rushed or forced. Let's take it slow."
"Still not in a hurry?" Huang Dayu was even more anxious than Lu Yiwei. He said, "You're 32 this year, right? You're not young anymore. Hurry up and find one. If you don't like this one, touch the others. As long as it's in the education system and you like it, just tell me. You don't have to worry about the rest. "
Huang Dayu's excessive enthusiasm made Lu Yiwei a little overwhelmed. Huang Dayu used to be the head of the political department at No.1 Middle School in Nanyang County when Lu Yiwei was in school. This person was bold. He knew that Liu Kecheng, the Secretary of the County Party Committee at that time, was lustful. He used various forms and occasions to get beautiful teachers to please him. By pimping out the leaders of the County, he sat on the throne of the Director of the Ministry of Education.
There were thousands of ways to get rich, it all depended on how one grasped the opportunity. If there wasn't an opportunity in the open, one had to take the crooked path. As long as he could get promoted, he was willing to pay any price. At this moment, Huang Dayu was shamelessly pimping out his own student. His ugly face was completely exposed.
Lu Yiwei didn't want to linger on this topic, changing the topic. "Director Huang, I'm still your student. As a teacher, you should take care of your student."
"What are you talking about!" Huang Dayu said, "You're my leader now, you should be the one taking care of me. If you have the time, put in a few good words for me in front of Secretary Zhang, I'll be eternally grateful. "
"Haha, do you still need my good words?" Lu Yiwei smiled. "Secretary Zhang has praised you many times in front of me, saying that you're doing a good job in education."
"Really?" Huang Dayu's eyes widened, asking impatiently.
"How can it be fake?" Lu Yiwei lied. In fact, Zhang Zhiyuan didn't mention him at all, he was just playing along.
Whether it was true or not, Huang Dayu was delighted. He immediately took out a cigarette and passed it to Lu Yiwei. "Come, come, come. Continue, I like what you said, haha."
After chatting for a while, Huang Dayu took the initiative to ask, "Standing Committee Lu, why are you looking for me today?"
Lu Yiwei pretended to be relaxed. "There's a small matter that I need Director Huang's help with."
"Tell me about it, as long as I can help, I'll make the decision on the spot." Huang Dayu said straightforwardly.
Lu Yiwei said, "Director Huang, I heard that our county has a quota for the Shao Enterprise Foundation this year?"
Hearing this, Huang Dayu immediately became vigilant and said vaguely, "Yes, there's such a thing. Standing Committee Lu's ears are really sharp. I just went to the city for a meeting the day before yesterday, and you already know about it today. You're really resourceful."
Lu Yiwei didn't bother to answer him and said, "How about it? Director Huang, put the quota in Shiwan Village as a form of support for my work. "
"This …" Huang Dayu touched his chin and hesitated.
Seeing Huang Dayu's attitude, Lu Yiwei said, "Why? Director Huang, is there a problem? "
Huang Dayu lit up his cigarette and said, "Standing Committee Lu, to tell you the truth, I reported this to County Yang after the meeting the day before yesterday. County Yang decided on the spot to put it in your hometown, Guyang Village. In addition, you're not the only one looking for me, but a few other villages are also looking for me. They all want this project. "
Lu Yiwei was put in a difficult position when he heard that the project had landed in his hometown. He had been studying in Guyang Village Primary School since he was young, and its conditions were even worse than Shiwan Village. But it had been renovated and reinforced two years ago, and it was still adequate. What should he do now? On one side was his hometown, and on the other side was the place he was in charge of. He felt that both were suitable.
Huang Dayu saw through Lu Yiwei's thoughts and said, "I know about Shiwan Village Secondary School's situation, and it has reached the point where it has to be renovated. But Guyang Village needs it more. Both sides are made of meat, but my hands are only so capable. I'd feel heartache if I were to give up on either one. Moreover, Guyang Village is your hometown, and it's necessary to improve the education environment. "
Lu Yiwei said, "Can't you fight for another quota?"
"This really can't be done!" Huang Dayu said anxiously, "There are only three quotas in the whole city, and Nanyang County has two. If this gets out, who knows what the other counties will say. Moreover, the city leaders won't agree to it. "
Seeing that Lu Yiwei didn't say anything, Huang Dayu said, "Standing Committee Lu, let me say something that I shouldn't say. Shiwan Village is the second largest village in the county, and there are so many coal mines. Even if all the coal mines contribute some money, the school can be built. Furthermore, you can also fight for more funds from the county, and there's no need to make a fuss about this project. If this project is really placed in Shiwan Village, the other villages will have objections. "
Lu Yiwei nodded. "Director Huang, I know you're in a difficult position. I can choose not to fight for this quota, but as the supervisor, you should more or less support it. If you personally report to the county, it might be more effective than me. "
Huang Dayu heard Lu Yiwei pushing the responsibility to him, so he quickly returned it. "That's right, you're right. But this year's budget has already been submitted, and it's too late to increase it now, unless County Yang agrees to it. You're the county leader, and you'll definitely be more casual with Secretary Zhang and County Yang. How about this, I'll draft the report, and you bring me to meet Secretary Zhang? "
Lu Yiwei didn't have any better ideas, so he could only agree. "Sure, you draft the report, and when Secretary Zhang isn't busy, let's meet him together, alright?"
"That's for the best!" Huang Dayu replied.
Lu Yiwei was wondering why Yang Derong decided to place this project in Guyang Village, and not the poorer Tongyang Village. Thinking that the newly transferred Party Secretary was Zhou Lixia, he might be able to find some clues.
At this moment, Lu Yiwei's phone rang in his pocket. Seeing that it was Xiao Yang, he knew that Zhang Zhiyuan was back, so he quickly picked up the call.
"Standing Committee Lu, Secretary Zhang wants you to come to his office now," Xiao Yang said.
"Alright, I'll be right there." After hanging up, Lu Yiwei said helplessly, "Director Huang, I'm really sorry, something cropped up, and I'm afraid I won't be able to have lunch. Maybe another day."
Huang Dayu heard the contents of the call, so he got up and pretended to say, "No matter how important the matter is, you still have to eat."
"I really can't, maybe another day."
Lu Yiwei declined, and Huang Dayu didn't say anything else, sending him downstairs until he drove out of the courtyard.
