The day after Zhang Zhiyuan's departure, Xiao Yang also left Nanyang County with his personnel files and procedures. Xiao Yang's departure didn't cause too much of a reaction. Many people didn't even know of his existence. Just like how he silently appeared and silently left, what he left behind was only a poignant and touching love story.
Every time someone left, Lu Yiwei's heart would always be stirred up, and it was difficult for him to calm down. He did not know whether it was because of Xiao Yang's hurried departure that he felt melancholy, or because he thought of himself and felt sad. For a long time, he was restless, upset, and separated.
Lu Yiwei pushed away the documents on his desk, lit a cigarette, and walked to the window gloomily. Through the glass, he looked at the sun that was about to set in the west. The dazzling rays pierced through the clouds and dyed the great rivers and mountains in a myriad of colors. The colors of early spring were beautiful, and the poplar trees in the yard seemed to have sprouted, pregnant with the hope of life.
Another spring came, and the city was full of poems. Lu Yiwei had many dreams. When he was a child, he was influenced by the red education. When he grew up, he hoped to become a steel warrior like Korchagin. When he grew up, he often saw people on TV wearing white coats standing on the experiment table and shaking all kinds of glassware. That posture was simply too cool, and he was determined to become that kind of person. After entering the university, he became more and more humanistic. In addition, under the influence of the artistic atmosphere, he seemed to find the value of life, which was to write life with the pen in his hand, and become a great poet like Bei Dao and Gu Cheng.
However, there was a world of difference between ideals and reality. You could touch the clouds in the sky, you could imagine an ideal kingdom, and you could wander freely in the world of freedom. When you woke up from your dream, the difference between ideals and reality was just a matter of steamed buns.
Lu Yiwei's parents were farmers. They had simple pragmatism. They didn't want their son to become a great writer or a great writer in the future. As long as they could make a living, it would be fine. It was that simple. And what they could personally feel was how good it was to be an official. They could show off their power, eat well, and drink well. How imposing it was. Even a village chief was arrogant and proud. Therefore, they didn't have any requirements for Lu Yiwei. He just wanted to be an official!
Now, Lu Yiwei had become a Deputy Director. In other people's eyes, he was already very successful, but he was not satisfied. This was not the life he wanted. In the past, when Ma Zhiming and Bai Yuxin left, Lu Yiwei did not have such a strong reaction. However, Xiao Yang's departure touched him greatly and touched his heart. Why? He saw freedom.
"Knock knock …" Someone knocked on the door. Lu Yiwei turned around and shouted. Song Yong entered.
"You're just in time. I have something to discuss with you …" Lu Yiwei was about to talk about work when he was interrupted mercilessly by Song Yong. "Yiwei, we can talk about work tomorrow. Tonight, Xu Liu from Xuzhaigou Coal Mine has invited us to dinner at Eastern State City. What do you think? Do you want to go?"
Looking at Song Yong's excited face, Lu Yiwei shook his head helplessly and said, "I'm not going. You can go if you want."
"Alright then." Song Yong said reluctantly, "Xu Liu will drive his Benz to pick us up later. Why don't we go together? You and I are the ones who have been invited. If we don't go, it won't look good, right?"
The crackdown on illegal mining was imminent. At this juncture, Lu Yiwei had to be cautious. He waved his hand and said, "I have something to do tonight. Maybe another day."
"Oh, then I'll go." Song Yong was getting impatient.
Soon, a Benz appeared in the district government building. A shifty-eyed man got out and invited Song Yong and Ma Guoxi, who was in charge of security, into the car. He did not forget to glance at Lu Yiwei's office before he got in the car and left.
Lu Yiwei wanted to say a few words to Song Yong to remind him of his status. But he did not know what to say. If he said it lightly, it would be useless. If he said it harshly, it would be annoying. It was better not to say it. Sometimes he was worried for Song Yong. Song Yong was considered a Jianghu person in the past. He was full of banditry and hard to discipline. Lu Yiwei had wanted to rope him in to support the situation. But now he was calling everyone his brother and still following the Jianghu rules. How could he carry out his work if this went on?
Lu Yiwei was not in the mood to appreciate the scenery. He returned to his desk and sat down. He thought about the conversation between Zhang Zhiyuan two days ago. Yes! He had to do something earth-shattering to prove to them that he did not climb up to his current position by relying on his connections. He had relied on his real ability to do it step by step. But what should he do?
There were two things he had to do. One was to crack down on illegal mining, and the other was to fight for the foundation's projects.
First, he had to crack down on illegal mining. Lu Yiwei noticed a detail. If it had been in the past, Zhang Zhiyuan would have been resolute and unhesitant about this work. But he sensed something different from the last conversation. He did not say that he would completely eradicate them. He said that he would kill the chickens to warn the monkeys. It would be enough to catch one or two examples. His words were quite puzzling.
Guessing the leader's intentions was definitely a skill. If you misunderstood or misinterpreted it, things would develop in the opposite direction. Based on Lu Yiwei's understanding of Zhang Zhiyuan, he should be able to figure out his intentions. But this time, he was confused. Could it be because he was estranged from Zhang Zhiyuan?
Lu Yiwei thought for a long time but could not figure out his intentions. But Zhang Zhiyuan had told him to keep a certain distance from Ding Changhua. Maybe he could figure out something.
The situation in Shiwan Village was obvious. It would soon become Ding Changhua's world. Moreover, he was ambitious and tried to extend his tentacles to every corner to gradually strengthen his Ding Group. On the surface, it was to crack down on illegal mining. But to put it bluntly, it was to make space for him, occupy the resources, and enjoy the cake alone. Who gave him the courage to have such a big appetite?
Black gold could be said to be everywhere in Shiwan Village. Basically, every village had coal resources. There were more than a dozen coal mines of various types. Except for the original Erbao Coal Mine, most of them were small-scale operations. As far as he knew, none of the coal mines in the village had complete procedures. If they were all determined as illegal mining, then they would all be wiped out.
Last year, the crackdown on illegal mining led by Zhang Zhiyuan had wiped out dozens of illegal dens. This alone had generated more than 50 million yuan for the county's finance. It was clear how huge the benefits were hidden behind it. Going back to the question raised at the beginning of the article, Nanyang County had such rich mineral resources. Why did it still wear the label of a national-level poor county? Illegal mining was an important reason.
Rome wasn't built in a day. Why was illegal mining not stopped despite being banned? Benefits drove some people to take risks out of desperation, but it was mostly the result of collusion between government officials and businessmen, as well as administrative inaction. Among them, there were many leading cadres who bought shares and acted as a protective umbrella. It was not easy to completely eradicate them.
After careful consideration, Lu Yiwei had a clear idea: Resolutely clamp down on illegal dens without permits, and stop production for those with incomplete permits.
Let's talk about Shiwan Village Middle School. If he invested all the 3 million yuan that Zhang Zhiyuan had allocated, and asked for some money from a few coal mines, it could be completely repaired. But he changed his mind. He had to find a way to fight for a place in the foundation. This was not because he was stubborn, but because he wanted to vent his anger.
"Dong!" A loud muffled sound interrupted Lu Yiwei's thoughts. He saw the glass on the table shaking, and the lamp above his head was swinging slightly from side to side, making the glass rustle. Suddenly, his heart was in his throat. His first instinct was that something had happened.
Lu Yiwei quickly got up and rushed down to the office on the first floor. He asked anxiously, "What happened just now?"
The office was surrounded by a circle of people drinking tea and chatting. It seemed that the loud sound did not affect them at all. Office Director Yang Yongmei stood up while munching on melon seeds. "Mr. Lu, there's no need to make a fuss. You might have just arrived and are not used to the environment here. You will slowly get used to it." Then, Yang Yongmei pointed to the ground and said, "The loud sound just now came from below. Guoguogou Coal Mine has dug under our township government. They were the ones who fired the cannons just now."
Before she finished speaking, another loud sound was heard, and the entire building felt like it was shaking. Lu Yiwei found it unbelievable. How could there be such a big commotion from firing the cannons? No, he had to go and take a look. Then, he quickly got up and walked out of the door. At this moment, the business manager, Shen Pengfei, ran over and stopped Lu Yiwei. "Mr. Lu, do you need to go personally for this? Please wait for me. I will go take a look now and report to you later. "
Because Lu Yiwei was young and easy-going, many people talked to him casually. In the end, they were still unhappy with his sudden promotion. Before Lu Yiwei could finish speaking, Shen Pengfei rode his motorcycle out of the door.
In the office, the people were still chatting enthusiastically. They did not take Lu Yiwei seriously at all. Zhang Li, the staff member, stuffed a handful of peanuts into Lu Yiwei's hands and said with a smile, "Mr. Lu, come over and have a chat with us!"
Lu Yiwei did not have the mood to ramble. He returned the peanuts to Zhang Li and said seriously, "The office is a public place. If you want to chat, go back to the dormitory."
Zhang Li raised her brows unhappily and said, "Mr. Lu, it's time to get off work. We're tired after a day of work. It's not against any rules for us to have a chat, right?"
He had handed over the department's internal affairs to Song Yong, and this was how things were managed. Lu Yiwei was very angry, but he could not criticize them. It seemed that he had to rectify the department's discipline. Lu Yiwei ignored them and went straight upstairs.
"I didn't know that this young man has a temper." Zhang Li joked as she ate the peanuts.
"That's right. Which leader has no temper? I think he's not bad. He didn't bother us much after he came. "A woman said.
"Sigh! He's a deputy director at such a young age, and he's still single. He's handsome and has a good figure. I wonder which girl is lucky enough to marry him. "Another woman said with jealousy.
Zhang Li said, "Have you fallen for him? If you like him, you can go knock on his door at night. With your looks, Mr. Lu will definitely open the door for you. Haha. "
"I don't have that luck." The woman sighed. They did not shy away from this kind of topic.
"Eh? I've seen Mr. Fan going to his office often. Are they … "Zhang Li suddenly said nervously.
"That's hard to say!" Yang Yongmei, who had been silent all this while, said, "That young lady might look noble, but she's very coquettish. Once when she went to the toilet, I saw with my own eyes that she was wearing leopard print underwear. Aiya, which decent girl would wear that? Besides, she's not young anymore. Is it because she can't get married, or is there something else? "
"Ah? I couldn't tell. "Everyone said in unison.
At this moment, Zhang Li pulled open Yang Yongmei's pants and screamed excitedly, "Aiyo, everyone, look! Yongmei is wearing leopard print underwear!"
Everyone rushed up to tear it apart. Yang Yongmei shyly covered her face and retreated.
