Out of the County party committee building, Lu Yiwei stood on the steps, a little confused. In the highest power center of Nanyang County, unbelievable things happened every day. The struggle for power seemed to be a never-ending pendulum, sliding from left to right, and then from right to left. It was impartial, neither east nor west. It recorded the trajectory of activities in the orbit of time, and it would never stop, unless time stopped. Was it possible?
Lu Yiwei had experienced too many power struggles, open spears and hidden arrows, and bloody storms, which made him shudder. Sometimes he wondered if it was meaningful to do so. This question seemed simple, but it was extremely profound. Not to mention human beings, as long as it was a natural object, it was always fighting everywhere, which was related to the hormones released by the human body. Who didn't like to stand on the shoulders of giants, commanding the country, and interests were the starting point and foothold of everything?
Lu Yiwei was a little tired, even tired of it. In these past few years, he'd experienced too many struggles. From the fall of his old leader, Chu Yunchi, to Liu Kecheng's defeat in Mai City, to the fact that Zhang Zhiyuan was almost framed, and to the things he'd experienced himself, it could be said to be full of ups and downs and soul-stirring. The officialdom was like this, and life was like this.
Life was like chess, and chess was like life. The situation on the chessboard was constantly changing, and the black and white were fighting. One careless move, and the whole game would be lost. In the face of the endgame, there might be twists and turns, and there might be light at the end of the tunnel. Some people played chess quickly, but they made mistakes in a hurry, and were confused; some people began to worry, which led to difficulties, and they won from both sides. Some people play chess and never admit defeat until the very last moment. Some people play chess and, at the slightest sign of unfavorable situation, give up their pieces and surrender. Lu Yiwei was like playing chess with a master, but he was just a pawn.
He was really tired, and more than that, he was disappointed in the officialdom of Nanyang. There were only a few people in this small place, and they chased after each other all day, trying to cheat each other, and no longer developing their minds. Being in such a group of people was simply a waste of time, a waste of life.
In the past, he had the ambition to change the face of his hometown, and he was duty-bound to return to develop. But the gap between reality and ideal was too big, and it was gradually wearing down his confidence and patience. If the practical Zhang Zhiyuan left, who could change Nanyang? Rely on Yang Derong? It was simply wishful thinking.
Perhaps he was too short-sighted. He should have listened to his advice and left this place. And now, this desire was getting stronger and stronger. But when he really wanted to leave, he couldn't find a good way out.
Follow Su Qiming? He might as well waste his life in Nanyang County. This person was too weak and did not have a mind of his own. He would not be able to learn anything from him, and in the end, he would even implicate himself. This kind of person was very unreliable, which was why he was unwilling to be his secretary in the first place.
Follow Guo Jinzhu? This was not a bad choice. Guo Jinzhu was decisive, courageous, and knowledgeable. He was a capable leader. But thinking about his situation in Xi City, it was definitely not a wise choice to go there now.
Follow Zhang Zhiyuan? This was the result that Lu Yiwei had always wanted. However, since Zhang Zhiyuan had arranged for him to be a member of the Standing Committee, he had clearly told him that he could not take him away.
After thinking about it for a while, Lu Yiwei actually couldn't find where his future lay. But the matter of Xiao Zhixiong being punished really touched him a lot. He made up his mind that he must leave this place. It was fake to rely on anyone. He could only rely on himself.
With this goal, Lu Yiwei looked at everything indifferently. But Xiao Zhixiong's matter made it difficult for him to understand and get over it. Could it be that Zhang Zhiyuan really agreed to deal with Xiao Zhixiong? If that was really the case, Zhang Zhiyuan was too useless.
Zhang Zhiyuan had changed too fast, so fast that he could not see clearly. It was like looking at flowers in the fog. He could not guess what he was thinking. However, he guessed that Zhang Zhiyuan must have lost confidence in Nanyang County, just like him.
Xiao Zhixiong must have been framed. This was Lu Yiwei's intuition. Everyone had given up on Xiao Zhixiong, but Lu Yiwei could not. He wanted to uncover the truth. Seeing that the Organization Minister Yan Dongsen's car was parked downstairs, he turned to the Organization Department.
"Standing Committee Lu!" As soon as Lu Yiwei went upstairs, the sharp-eyed Office Director Xu Jingye shouted excitedly, "Standing Committee Lu, this is the first time you've returned to your parents' home since you came to Shiwan Village. Shouldn't you treat everyone to a meal?"
Lu Yiwei smiled and said, "It's just a meal. You can decide the time and place."
Hearing Lu Yiwei being so generous, Xu Jingye rubbed his hands happily and said, "Good, good, good. I'll arrange this. Everyone will entertain you well."
"Is Department Minister Yan here?" Lu Yiwei was not in the mood to eat and asked straightforwardly.
"Yes, yes, I'll report to him now." After saying that, Xu Jingye walked quickly to Yan Dongsen's office.
"No need, I'll go myself." Although Xu Jingye had a lot of problems, his good points could not be erased. He was conscientious and full of energy at work. Based on this point alone, many young people could not compare to him.
Before Lu Yiwei went in, Xu Jingye pulled him back and said mysteriously, "Standing Committee Lu, have you heard? Xiao Zhixiong has also been disciplined. "
"Oh." Lu Yiwei said coldly.
Seeing Lu Yiwei's expression, Xu Jingye was a little disappointed. He thought that Lu Yiwei would be very excited, but he did not see the expected effect. He then changed the topic and said, "Standing Committee Lu, my hometown is Xu Zhaigou. I hope you can support the development of my village, old leader."
"Yes, I know what I'm doing." Lu Yiwei did not want to be entangled with him and just dealt with it.
"Oh, you should know Xu Liu, right? He's my nephew. You have to take care of him. He's a good kid. "Xu Jingye ignored Lu Yiwei's expression and continued.
"Yes, I know." Lu Yiwei ignored him and went straight to Yan Dongsen's office.
After Lu Yiwei went in, Yan Dongsen was sitting there, taking a nap. When he saw Lu Yiwei, he raised his arm and stretched, rubbed his bloodshot eyes and said, "Yiwei, you're here. Come and sit!"
Yan Dongsen was also a leader with a personality. He was impatient, short-tempered, and straightforward. He often offended people with his words, so he was called "Yan Dapao." This person was straightforward and had a strong execution ability. Because of this personality, other leaders did not like him. Especially when Liu Kecheng was in power, he directly took away his power, deprived him of his organizational work, and became a real "puppet." After Zhang Zhiyuan came to power, he transferred the organization's personnel power to him. He could make decisions on general personnel changes, but major personnel changes had to be decided by the Standing Committee.
Lu Yiwei and Yan Dongsen had a good relationship. Although he could not help much, he would clearly support Lu Yiwei at critical times. Because of this, Lu Yiwei was very grateful to him. However, this person's personality determined his future. He had been in Nanyang for almost ten years, and there were no signs of him moving.
Lu Yiwei did not beat around the bush and directly asked, "Department Head Yan, do you know about Xiao Zhixiong?"
Yan Dongsen took a cigarette from the table and threw it to Lu Yiwei. "I heard about it too. It's a pity."
Lu Yiwei said, "Department Head Yan, don't you think there's something fishy about this?"
Yan Dongsen sneered. "I know it, but what can you do? His weakness has fallen into the hands of others. Even if you tell the heavens, it's useless."
Lu Yiwei sighed. "Department Head Yan, although I have not known Xiao Zhixiong for a long time, I believe in his character. Think about it, Secretary Zhang transferred him from the Government Affairs Bureau to the Finance Bureau. It's understandable that he is not familiar with the work, but I don't think it's possible for him to make a mistake. Unless … "
"Unless what?"
"Unless someone is framing him." Lu Yiwei whispered.
Yan Dongsen smiled and said, "Some things are like lice on a bald man's head, it's obvious. You can sympathize with Xiao Zhixiong, but you can't be emotional and prove his innocence. This is a society governed by law. Without concrete evidence, there's nothing to talk about. "
Lu Yiwei nodded. "Department Head Yan is right. Xiao Zhixiong is a good person. I can't let him be wronged and fall into someone else's trap. I want to save him, and I need your support. "
Yan Dongsen got up and paced around. "Yiwei, I know what you're thinking. But Secretary Zhang is not at home. It's impossible to turn things around with just our strength. Moreover, this is the city's decision …"
"Do you believe this is the city's decision?" Lu Yiwei suddenly asked.
Yan Dongsen was wooden. "Whether it's the city's decision or not, we have to obey it. Yiwei, there are some things that you and I can't control. Take care of yourself. "
Lu Yiwei could tell that Yan Dongsen does not want to be involved in this matter. After staying in this inseparable urn for a long time, the "cannon" in the past would slowly lose its edge. It was not that it had understood the true meaning of life, but that it had hidden its branches and tendrils, waiting for an opportunity to strike. As for what he is waiting for, only he knows.
Lu Yiwei did not make things difficult for Yan Dongsen. After bidding farewell, he called Song Yong. "Song Yong, come back now. Go to the Finance Bureau. Xiao Zhixiong is in trouble."
Song Yong, who was having a fierce battle at the table, dropped the wine glass on the table and stood up. "Okay. I will go back now."
"Go back and investigate what is going on. Which fund is the problem? I want detailed data and the truth. You must find out the truth within an hour. Do you hear me?" Lu Yiwei said sternly.
"Okay. I will go back now!" Song Yong and Xiao Zhixiong did not spend much time together, but Xiao Zhixiong was kind and gave Song Yong enough power to do whatever he wanted. When he heard that Song Yong wanted to follow Lu Yiwei to Shiwan Village, he was sad for a few days, but he let go in the end. Before he left, Xiao Zhixiong gave him a generous gift to show his sincerity.
