The next morning, Lu Yiwei woke up early. He turned on his phone and saw that it was not even seven o 'clock. He turned over and tried to sleep again, but he could not fall asleep. After tossing and turning for another ten minutes, he could not fall asleep, so he got up.
First, he did 100 push-ups on the bed, then he put his feet on the windowsill to press his legs. He felt his tendons and meridians were unobstructed and comfortable. Lu Yiwei had not exercised for a long time, so it was easy for him to do these things. However, he could feel that his body was not as good as before after drinking all day. Upon closer inspection, the abdominal muscles on his stomach seemed to be fading, as if the uneven bed sheets had been straightened. This was a bad sign. He decided to exercise as long as he had time. He must not let his body break down.
There was no private bathroom in the government building, so he had to go to the public bathroom to wash up. This was very inconvenient. If this office building was expensive, why didn't they consider this when they designed it? But thinking about it, it was a village after all, so there was no need to be so demanding. If others could overcome it, he could too. Thinking about it, Lu Yiwei went to wash up with the basin.
When he was about to reach the bathroom, he heard a dormitory door open behind him. He instinctively looked back, and a surprising scene appeared, making Lu Yiwei's eyes pop out. He saw the chairman of the Village People's Congress, Gao Dakuan, sneaking out from Zhang Li's dormitory and met Lu Yiwei's eyes.
Gao Dakuan panicked and did not know what to do. But he quickly adjusted his mentality and greeted Lu Yiwei, explaining, "Standing Committee Lu, Zhang Li said that she is going to collect the family planning funds today, and wants me to send her a car …" Although the lie was a bit far-fetched, he had to use it to cover up the truth.
Lu Yiwei was at a loss. He did not expect that in just a month, Gao Dakuan would do such a shameless thing. He did not know that he was such a person before. An unknown fire rose in his head, but he quickly extinguished it. This kind of thing should not be exposed. If something really happened, he would also lose face. He said coldly, "Come to my office later, I have something to say to you." After that, he went into the bathroom.
Gao Dakuan was stunned, thinking quickly about how to use a lie to make up the previous lie. But on second thought, does he have anything on me? Why is he so nervous? Thinking of this, he clasped his hands behind his back and returned to his office.
"Good morning, Mr. Lu!" As soon as Gao Dakuan left, Zhang Li came to the bathroom with a basin in her hands. When she saw Lu Yiwei, she quickly greeted him.
Lu Yiwei was brushing his teeth. He looked at Zhang Li's face in the mirror, which was full of peach blossoms. When he recalled the lewd moans from last night, he felt disgusted. This woman wasn't good-looking either, so why was Gao Dakuan bewitched? If one had to give a reason, Zhang Li was young.
Lu Yiwei ignored him, nodded, and continued brushing his teeth.
Zhang Li was just going to wash her face, but when she saw Lu Yiwei, she changed her mind. She deliberately walked to Lu Yiwei's side, turned on the faucet, and unbuttoned her blouse. Her half-naked body was immediately revealed. She lowered her body and washed her hair sideways. From time to time, she stole glances at Lu Yiwei. When she saw Lu Yiwei staring at her chest, she smiled knowingly, and her actions became more exaggerated.
Seeing Zhang Li's bold and unrestrained behavior, Lu Yiwei couldn't avoid it in time. He hurriedly washed up and left the bathroom.
When he returned to his office and was about to go downstairs to eat, Gao Dakuan sneaked in. He entered and said, "Mr. Lu, what's the matter?"
Lu Yiwei pointed at the sofa and sat in front of his desk. He handed him a cigarette and lit it. "The immigration project might have to be put on hold for a while, so you can relax a little. Go to the Finance Bureau this morning and hand over the five million yuan transferred by Ding Changhua. Then, go through the procedures. There's three million yuan that needs to be returned. "
Gao Dakuan had long heard about the immigration project being put on hold, so he wasn't surprised. He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go after eating."
"After the three million yuan is in your account, don't touch it for the time being. See if there are any suitable projects, and use the money for urgent work," Lu Yiwei reminded him.
"Okay." Gao Dakuan recorded it with a serious face. He was still thinking about the look in Lu Yiwei's eyes just now. Obviously, he seemed to know something.
Lu Yiwei continued, "Shiwan Village Middle School needs to be renovated, but it lacks funds. I plan to put you in charge of this work. You'll be responsible for the construction. You can ask the coal bosses for money, but you have to do it in a more tactful way. Also, the city has a quota for the foundation. You don't have to worry about this, I'll think of a way to get it. Do you understand? "
"Okay." Hearing that Lu Yiwei was handing the project to him, he was very excited. However, he was soon gloomy. He said, "Mr. Lu, isn't Song Yong in charge of the project? If I do it, will he say anything? "
"You don't have to worry about this. I'll talk to him." Lu Yiwei said, "Also, I'll give you another important task. You have to visit all the schools in the village. You have to go down personally and see which schools have difficulties. You have to report them to me. After that, we'll hold a meeting to discuss solutions. Your job this year is to focus on education. "
"What about Village Head Fan?"
"Get her to cooperate with you."
"Okay, I'll go down today."
"Okay." Lu Yiwei said again, "Oh yes, you have to be in charge of another task. The resettlement project has been put on hold, but the problem of the 46 families affected by the disaster in Shiwan Village still needs to be resolved. The county's relief funds are already in place. You have to run around and distribute the funds to the people. "
"Okay, okay." Gao Dakuan was ecstatic when he heard that this project was going to fall on him as well. The other meaning of Lu Yiwei's words was that he was in charge of the funds. He could distribute as much as he wanted, and it was all up to him. Since Lu Yiwei was taking care of him, it seemed that his decision back then was correct.
Just as he said that, another explosion came from underground. It shook the entire house, and the lights above shook violently. Some dust and mud fell and scattered everywhere. The explosion was like an earthquake, and it gave the two of them quite a scare.
Lu Yiwei looked up and saw a thin crack in the corner of the wall above the door. This was an office building that had only been built for a few years. If this happened, it would become a dilapidated building in a few years.
Gao Dakuan still had a lingering fear and said, "Standing Committee Lu, is this the explosion in the coal mine? Why did it come under the village? Are the relevant documents stating that the coal mine's planning and design must bypass the village? Is this mining beyond the border? "
Gao Dakuan's continuous questions were also what Lu Yiwei was thinking about. The safety of the coal mine was related to the overall situation. It seemed that he had to go down personally to check. If it was really mining beyond the border, no matter whose mine it was, it would be sealed on the spot.
Taking a step back, mining beyond the border was also a small matter. But if someone died and a mine accident happened, it would be a big problem. Lu Yiwei had been on tenterhooks for the past few days. He could not rely on Song Yong for the safety of the coal mine, and he had to do it himself.
"Is Song Yong back?"
Gao Dakuan shook his head and said, "I don't think so. I knocked on the door in the morning, but he did not answer."
"Call him now and ask him to come back immediately. Tell him I have something to talk to him about." Lu Yiwei said in a serious tone. Safety was not a child's play. It had to be taken seriously.
Gao Dakuan called Song Yong. On the other end of the phone, Song Yong was still in a daze. When he heard that Lu Yiwei was looking for him, he was a little impatient and hung up. Lu Yiwei heard it.
During this period of time, Song Yong had become more and more outrageous. He hung out with Xu Liu, Wang Erzhu, and the other coal bosses all day long. He did not know what he was doing, and he had completely forgotten his identity. But no matter what, Lu Yiwei had to bear with it. He was the one who brought him here.
Lu Yiwei was not in the mood to talk because of Song Yong. He put out his cigarette and stood up. "Let's go eat first!"
After breakfast, Lu Yiwei returned to his office. He waited for Song Yong for more than an hour, but he did not see him.
He was not going to wait anymore! Lu Yiwei was a little angry. He went downstairs and called Deputy Mayor Jiang Yucheng, who was in charge of coal mine safety, and Shen Pengfei, the business manager. They decided to go to the coal mine.
Lu Yiwei and his party went to Guozigou Coal Mine first. Guozigou Coal Mine and Donghua Coal Mine were separated by a mountain. One was digging in the east, and the other was digging in the west. If there was no plan, the two families could probably meet each other in the tunnel. In addition, the quality of the coal in this area was good and shallow. It saved time and effort to dig, and it could be sold at a good price. Many people were jealous. Ding Changhua's first step was to buy Guozigou Coal Mine. His motive was clear.
As Deputy Mayor Jiang Yucheng had called in advance, Guozigou Coal Mine's manager, Qiao Jianjun, was already waiting at the door to welcome them. When he saw Lu Yiwei, he clasped his hands and warmly welcomed him. With last night's foreshadowing, Qiao Jianjun spoke more casually. He pulled Lu Yiwei into his office on the second floor.
After chatting for a while, Lu Yiwei said, "I'm here today to take a look. Let me know if there's anything you need the village to solve. "
Qiao Jianjun laughed and said, "We don't have any problems, and we don't want to cause trouble for the village. Thank you, Mr. Lu, for your concern and love."
Lu Yiwei knew what Qiao Jianjun needed to solve. But some words could only be said in private. It was not suitable to say it in such an occasion. He stood up and said, "That's good. Let's go down and take a look."
"Ah?" Qiao Jianjun was put in a difficult position. He said, "Mr. Lu, you can't do that. There are dangers everywhere in the mine. What if something happens to you? How am I going to explain it? "
Lu Yiwei smiled faintly and said, "I'm not that delicate!" Then, he stepped out of the door.
Qiao Jianjun saw that Lu Yiwei was insistent, so he had no choice. He winked at the person beside him and followed closely behind him.
