Lu Yiwei was stunned and worried for Qiao Jianjun. Ding Changhua was cunning and ruthless. As long as he was interested in something, he would definitely get it. Moreover, he had political backing like Lin Haifeng and Yang Derong. Qiao Jianjun fighting with him was like throwing an egg against a rock. He was overestimating himself.
Besides, when Ding Changhua talked to him the last time, he sounded like he wanted to monopolize all the coal mines in Shiwan Village. Lu Yiwei guessed that Qiao Jianjun's Guoguogou coal mine was the first step. Next, he would gradually nibble away at the other coal mines until he had the whole area in his pocket.
The role and advantages of energy-based enterprises were gradually highlighted in the process of reform. It could be said to be a profiteering industry. In terms of profits, no other enterprise could compete with it. In addition, the country issued one document after another. With increasing domestic demand as the support, they increased the speed of production. Everything was centered on economic development, and everything was to make way for economic development. As long as it was beneficial to the economy, everything could be sacrificed.
For a time, the North sped up the mining of minerals and energy to support the development of the South. Shanxi and Inner Mongolia mined coal, Hebei made steel, and Henan provided human resources to the major power plants, paper mills, and heavy industrial processing bases in the South at the fastest speed. The transportation network was unprecedentedly busy. Even passenger trains had to make way for coal trains. The GDP of the coastal cities was almost all red, doubling year after year, creating one miracle after another. Good and fast development became the main tone at that time. Whoever dared to hinder economic development would be a sinner in history!
The huge potential of the rapid development of the South was subtly changing this small city in the West. The black coal became a delicious cake in the eyes of the people. Therefore, some non-coal enterprises also started to transform and invest in this wave of economic development. The far-sighted Southerners used huge amounts of money to buy mines everywhere. They were in a state of madness. Even Ding Changhua, who was doing well in the real estate industry, could not sit still. Everyone wanted to occupy a pit before the price of coal rose. First to strike, first to gain the upper hand. They threw themselves into the energy industry and began to dig for gold.
Lu Yiwei said, "Do you know Ding Changhua?"
Qiao Jianjun said angrily, "Isn't he the CEO of Donghua Group? What? Bullying customers by relying on the company's fame and reputation would not work in Shiwan Village. If he makes me angry, we'll join forces to chase him out! "
Lu Yiwei smiled and said, "Boss Qiao, Ding Changhua is a big taxpayer in Bei Zhou City. He's a key target of protection. You're not strong enough to go against him, are you? What's more, he's the representative of the Provincial People's Congress … "
"What's wrong with the National People's Congress? Isn't Ma Linhui also a representative of the National People's Congress? Didn't he still get beaten up? "Qiao Jianjun was unconvinced.
Lu Yiwei sneered, "Can Ma Linhui compare to Ding Changhua? Boss Qiao, you've been roaming the Jianghu for many years. There must be someone secretly supporting you from behind. I think you should understand this, right? "
Having satisfied his craving, Qiao Jianjun felt much better. After three glasses of wine, his eyes dimmed, and his tone became much gentler. He said, "Standing Committee Lu, actually, I came out today because I have something to ask of you."
"Hmm?" Lu Yiwei raised his eyelids and became alert. "What is it?"
Qiao Jianjun saw Lu Yiwei's slightly nervous expression and knew that this was a common problem among officials. When it came to talking business, they were more clear-headed than ever. If it could be done, they would beat around the bush to fight for benefits. If it could not be done, they would play dumb and change the topic. However, officials were all resourceful. As long as you were willing to pay the price, they would do it even if it meant risking their lives.
Qiao Jianjun moved closer to Lu Yiwei and said, "Brother Lu, I heard that you're quite close to Ding Changhua?"
With Qiao Jianjun's question, Lu Yiwei knew what he was going to say next. He was still making a big fuss just now, but now he had softened down. It seemed that he knew about Ding Changhua's capabilities. Lu Yiwei only focused on eating and did not reply.
Qiao Jianjun continued, "Standing Committee Lu, I know that you're quite close to Ding Changhua. If it's possible, help me put in a good word for him. As long as he doesn't buy my mine, don't worry, I know what to do."
Lu Yiwei continued eating. After a long time, he put down his chopsticks and said, "Let's not talk about my relationship with Ding Changhua. We're both businessmen, and we're all aiming for benefits. Since he has his eyes on you, do you think he'll let go? Besides, you mentioned that a ton of coal is related to many people. They should all be higher than me, right? "
Qiao Jianjun was stunned. He sighed and said, "Standing Committee Lu, I'm also full of grievances. Do you think that people will work for you just because they're getting benefits? I just pray that they don't come and harass me. Take this matter as an example. I've already talked to County Yang. You know what he said. He said that small mines like ours are going to be closed down, and we might as well make some money as soon as possible. Pfft! When he took my money, he said that he would support our small mines in the future. It's only been a few days, and he changed his mind.
"I know that Ding Changhua and Yang Derong have a close relationship. Even the Mayor is supporting him. I'm overestimating myself to fight with him, but I just can't take this lying down. I've thought about it. If Standing Committee Lu can come forward and mediate, everything will go on as usual. If Ding Changhua is stubborn and stubborn, I'm not afraid of him. I have nothing to lose. I'll fight him to the death even if I have to risk my life. "
Hearing Qiao Jianjun's aggressive words, Lu Yiwei did not say much. He knew that since Ding Changhua wanted to take over the mines, the County will definitely support it. The City will also interfere. Even if Lu Yiwei came forward to negotiate, he might not give Ding Changhua face. Furthermore, the two of them were not close. He could vaguely feel that Ding Changhua's development in Nanyang is like a barrel of gunpowder. He might explode at any time. It's better to stay away from this kind of person.
Lu Yiwei did not want to reject Qiao Jianjun. He said, "I can help you ask him indirectly, but I can't guarantee success. I'm just a small town secretary. I'm worthless in his eyes. "
"Aiya! Thank you, Standing Committee Lu. " Even if Lu Yiwei did not agree, at least he showed an attitude. Qiao Jianjun was very excited. He took out two bundles of money from his pocket and stuffed them into his pocket behind Lu Yiwei.
"What are you doing?" Lu Yiwei stared at Qiao Jianjun and reached for the money.
Qiao Jianjun held onto Lu Yiwei's hand and said, "Standing Committee Lu, I don't mean anything by it. I know you guys have a lot of expenses and have a lot of social engagements. This is considered supporting the village." Qiao Jianjun saw Lu Yiwei looking at Shen Pengfei and quickly explained, "Pengfei and I are brothers."
Seeing this, Shen Pengfei immediately put on an act. He closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Lu Yiwei did not lack money. Even if he did, he would not accept money from others. Since he had taken the money, he had to work for them. Such an exchange was not very attractive to him. His expression suddenly changed. He pushed away Qiao Jianjun's hand and threw the money on the table. He stood up and said, "Boss Qiao, it's getting late. Send me back."
"How can I do that?" Qiao Jianjun saw Lu Yiwei was leaving and quickly said, "We still have other projects to do." As he spoke, he called for a group of waiters to come out.
If Lu Yiwei was tempted just now, it was gone now. He ignored Qiao Jianjun, put on his clothes and walked out.
Seeing that Lu Yiwei was determined to leave, Qiao Jianjun could only pull Shen Pengfei and follow him back to Shiwan Village.
Back in the office, Lu Yiwei took off his jacket and threw it on the coffee table. He drunkenly lay on the sofa and kicked off his shoes. He loosened his belt and let his whole body relax. However, his brain was still working at high speed, thinking of all sorts of things.
In the past, he thought it was good to be a leader, with dignity and dignity. However, now that he was in this position, a small village party secretary, he felt a little powerless. Maybe it was because he was too young. It was a big step for him to get to this position. Not only did the leaders not support him, even his subordinates were not convinced. He thought he could appease the staff by buying people's hearts, but not only did they not appreciate it, it also attracted a lot of criticism. It seemed that when dealing with these old foxes, if he didn't do something serious, they would really think he was a coward!
Lu Yiwei suddenly felt the urge to pee. He got up and walked to the bathroom at the end of the corridor. When he passed by the family planning staff, Zhang Li's dormitory, he heard shouts coming from inside. He got closer and heard the sound of bodies hitting against each other through the door. Lu Yiwei's body first heated up, then he felt extremely disgusted. This kind of thing seemed to be common in the village, especially at night when everyone was lonely. One was willing to fight, and the other was willing to suffer, so naturally they would come together.
As for this kind of thing, there was no written rule in the party discipline that forbade it. At most, they would condemn and educate from a moral level. Therefore, the leaders would turn a blind eye to the trivial matters between the two of them and were too lazy to ask about it. If it was really outrageous, they would at most criticize and educate them indirectly. If they didn't all get transferred, it would be over.
Lu Yiwei didn't want to think about it, but the unrestrained shouts and rubbing sounds still lingered in his ears. Out of biological instinct, when he peed, he found that the little thing had unconsciously stood at attention and rested for a long time before it peed.
On the way back, the shouts in the room were still incessant. Lu Yiwei quickly walked into the office and closed the door, his heart beating fast.
He couldn't remember when was the last time he had sex. When he was working hard, he didn't think about it at all. But now that he was free, and because of the alcohol, his body's functions were already budding. His whole body was hot, and his throat was surging. It was difficult to calm down.
Lu Yiwei walked to the table and picked up the remaining tea from the afternoon. He drank it in one gulp, and his mind became slightly clearer.
Lu Yiwei was too lazy to wash his face and brush his teeth. He walked into the bedroom, took off his clothes, and tried to sleep under the covers. But messy things bombarded him, making it a little difficult for him to breathe.
He missed Tong Huan. He was shocked when this thought popped up. Why wasn't he thinking about Su Meng or Xia Jinhe, but her! Perhaps this woman had left such a deep impression on him that it was difficult to erase the scenes of the past.
The bar, the bathroom, the hotel rooftop, Tong Huan had given him countless surprises in impossible situations, but what others had given him was only a step-by-step, unchanging routine. Men needed passion. Once there was no passion, life would become blind and dull.
