After lunch, the three of them drove to Bei Zhou City.
If they did not talk about work, Lu Yiwei and Song Yong got along better in private. They joked and joked along the way, making Fan Chunfang, who usually kept a straight face, cover her mouth and giggle. The atmosphere was very harmonious.
"Hey, ice beauty, you're from the city. You have the education and looks. Why do you want to come to a place like ours? If I were you, I would never come here. "Song Yong turned around and said to Fan Chunfang, who was sitting in the driver's seat.
Fan Chunfang was stunned. She widened her eyes and said, "Who are you calling ice beauty?"
"You!"
"Why?" Fan Chunfang said in English.
"What?" Song Yong did not know any English. Puzzled, he asked, "What did you say?"
Fan Chunfang tilted her head and giggled. Lu Yiwei said, "She's speaking English. She's asking you why?"
"My goodness! Even English is out. "Song Yong was beaming with joy." Why? What do you think? Usually, I see that you're always frowning and don't interact much with others. You look cold and distant, and I don't even dare to joke with you. I'm afraid that I'll say something wrong and make you unhappy. "
Fan Chunfang playfully fanned her eyes and said, "Do I?"
"Of course not!" Song Yong turned around again and saw a smile on Fan Chunfang's face. He was stunned by her beauty. In the past, he did not think she was beautiful. But today, the knot on her forehead had been removed. She was a completely different person.
Being stared at by Song Yong, Fan Chunfang felt a little uncomfortable. She hurriedly looked away.
"Aiya!" Song Yong exclaimed, "Ice beauty, you're really beautiful today. Yes! How nice it is to be like today in the future. "
Being praised by a man, Fan Chunfang felt a ripple in her heart. Soon, her face turned red and her palms were sweating.
Song Yong became interested in Fan Chunfang and asked, "Ice beauty, tell me!"
"Tell me what?" Fan Chunfang touched her burning cheeks. She met Lu Yiwei's gaze through the rearview mirror. She quickly put down her hands and rubbed them between her legs.
"Yiwei, do you want to hear it?" In order to get Fan Chunfang to speak, Song Yong pulled Lu Yiwei along to increase the stakes.
Lu Yiwei drove with a charming smile. He glanced at her with the corner and said, "If Ice beauty is willing, I'll listen."
Hearing Lu Yiwei call her ice beauty, Fan Chunfang's face turned even redder. She bit her lips and struggled for a long time. She suddenly raised her head and said seriously, "Actually, I'm not what you think I am. It's just that I don't have anyone I can talk to in the village government. Most of them are older than me. They talk about family matters, and as an outsider, I can't get a word in. As time goes by, I don't want to talk anymore.
"I'm from Eastern State City. After I graduated from Normal University, the Provincial Party Committee was recruiting students, so I signed up and passed. I was assigned to Shiwan Village and worked there until now. How should I put it, I don't like this job, but my family doesn't agree with me giving up. Now, I can only take it one step at a time. "
What was a student selection? How was it different from a civil servant? They were both recruitment, but there was a fundamental difference between the two. The requirements for the selection of students were strict. They were usually full-time graduates, members of the Chinese Communist Party, and members of the student council. They were selected through the recommendation of the organization. Civil servants, on the other hand, were more relaxed and did not have such stringent requirements. In addition, students were usually directly managed by the Provincial Party Committee's Organization Department. They were candidates for the leadership of the Party and government. They had a high level and a high standard, so they could be promoted to deputy section chief after a year of training. After two years, they could be promoted again. Civil servants, on the other hand, were managed by the Human Resources Department. Once they started working, they would be normal workers. There were strict procedures for promotion.
In short, students were born as leaders, so they could be promoted quickly. As long as there were no major accidents, it was better than civil servants. Up until now, a considerable number of senior leaders and cadres had been selected students.
Fan Chunfang came to Nanyang County with a golden spoon in his mouth. He was just training in Shiwan Village. After a few years, he would be transferred to another place as a leader. Under normal circumstances, the best place for a student selection was the Communist Youth League.
The Communist Youth League was a very mysterious department. It was not popular, but it was the easiest to make a name for oneself. Take the County party committee for example. The secretary of the County party committee was no more than 35 years old. In a county, those who could become section chief before the age of 35 were few and far between. Many county party committees were already in their 40s and were still holding the position of secretary. There was no choice. There was no choice but to promote the leader's children. Therefore, the competition for this position was quite fierce.
And the advantage of a student selection was their youth. After one or two years of working, they would automatically be promoted to deputy section chief. After a few years of training, they would be transferred to the County party committee. Therefore, the value of a student selection was not something that a civil servant could compare to.
Lu Yiwei did not say anything. Song Yong spoke first. "Do you have a partner?"
Fan Chunfang was stunned. She blushed and lowered her head, shaking it.
"No wonder!" Song Yong came to a sudden realization and said, "Actually, a place like a small town isn't suitable for you at all. What kind of people do you come into contact with every day? If they aren't unreasonable farmers, then they are wily old foxes with nothing to do. In such a small place, what kind of elegant topics do you want them to talk about? Other than trivial matters, what else is there to talk about? About the English you spoke just now? Who can understand it? So, let me give you a suggestion. Either you think of a way to transfer and go back to work in the city. Or you find a partner to relieve your boredom. If you don't have any pursuits or hobbies, staying here is no different from being in prison. "
Lu Yiwei took over the topic. "Song Yong makes sense. His words are crude, but the logic is not. Besides, you are a girl. If you don't have a hobby, life will be a form of torture. "
Fan Chunfang nodded incessantly. She seized the opportunity to ask, "Standing Committee Lu, then what is your hobby? I don't think you play mahjong or chat. "
"I …" Lu Yiwei was stumped by Fan Chunfang's question. That's right, what is his hobby? He doesn't seem to have any hobbies.
"Him?" Song Yong said, "Ice beauty, I'm not bragging. A person like Standing Committee Lu is an influential person in our county. You might have heard of it. Not only is he good-looking, he has a bright future ahead of him. He's also a eligible bachelor. If I were a woman, I would shamelessly marry him. Haha. "
"Cut the crap!" Lu Yiwei gave Song Yong a smirk. "Village Head Fan, don't listen to Song Yong's nonsense."
Song Yong turned excited as he beamed. "You just asked him about his hobbies. I don't say. I rarely see him play mahjong, much less visit. He's a gentleman. He's unlike me. Other than mahjong, I can't find any other interest. Oh right, I also like beauties. Haha. "
Song Yong joked without thinking. Fan Chunfang did not feel shy this time. Instead, she observed Lu Yiwei's every move through the rearview mirror.
"Oh right, I remember now!" Song Yong said, "Yiwei likes to read. Look at his huge bookcase. It's filled to the brim. I often see him hugging a book and reading. I can't do that. I get sleepy when I read. Also, Yiwei is very good at badminton. I'll show you when I can. "
Song Yong had created an image of a perfect man in Fan Chunfang's heart. She could not help but have a different feeling for Lu Yiwei.
Unknowingly, the car arrived at Bei Zhou City. Lu Yiwei drove directly to the Municipal Party Committee's compound. When he got out of the car, he said to Song Yong, "The two of you can do whatever you want. Wait for my call." With that said, he turned and entered the Municipal Party Committee's compound.
The Municipal Party Committee's compound was guarded by armed police. When they saw Lu Yiwei, they did not ask him to show his identification and watched him enter. The armed police on duty had developed a good eye for people. They could tell at a glance who was a leader and who was a petitioner.
After Lu Yiwei left, Song Yong sat in the driver's seat. He turned around and said, "Ice beauty, where do you think we should go now?"
Fan Chunfang shook her head and said, "I'm not a local. I'm not familiar with Bei Zhou City."
"Alright, I'll take you somewhere!" With that said, Song Yong started the car and drove away quickly.
Lu Yiwei had a different frame of mind every time he came to the Municipal Party Committee's compound. In the past, he would accompany Zhang Zhiyuan and play a supporting role. Today was different. He was the protagonist, meeting the leader in his own name. He could not help but feel nervous.
The Municipal Party Committee's building was not magnificent, but every brick exuded the magic of power. It was like a powerful magnetic field, making people feel deep respect and awe.
The Municipal Committee building was always so busy. Everyone was jogging and moving around in a hurry, going from one office to another. Every office had a big red official seal. It was like a war room, issuing orders and guiding the subordinates of various levels to charge and break through enemy lines.
Lu Yiwei took the elevator to the government office on the third floor. On the elevator, he prayed in his heart that he must not meet Su Qiming. Just as he stepped out of the elevator, he bumped into Su Qiming, who was waiting for the elevator.
"Yiwei? What are you doing here? "Su Qiming asked in surprise.
Lu Yiwei said vaguely, "Mayor Su, I'm here to run some errands."
Su Qiming raised his wrist and looked at his watch. He turned around and said to the secretary, "Go to the conference room and tell them to wait for another half an hour. I have something to do now." With that said, he said to Lu Yiwei, "Come with me to the office."
Su Qiming was willing to postpone the meeting to meet Lu Yiwei. It was obvious how important Lu Yiwei was to him.
Lu Yiwei followed Su Qiming into the office with a nervous heart.
Su Qiming placed the teacup on the coffee table and pointed to the sofa. "Come, sit!"
After sitting down, Su Qiming looked at Lu Yiwei and said, "What are you here for? Do you need my help?"
Lu Yiwei quickly waved his hand and said, "Thank you, Mayor Su. It's just a small matter."
"Oh." Su Qiming said, "If you need my help, just let me know. You don't have to be so polite with me."
Both of them sat awkwardly for a while. Su Qiming said, "Did Zhiyuan tell you about the immigration project?"
"Yes." Lu Yiwei nodded.
"Don't blame me. This is a good thing, but the city made a last-minute change in strategy. I can't do anything about it. I hope you don't have any misgivings." Su Qiming said helplessly.
Lu Yiwei quickly said, "No, no, no. Mayor Su, I don't have any thoughts. I fully respect the Municipal Party Committee's decision."
"Yes, I'm relieved that you can think this way." Su Qiming sighed. There was a hint of helplessness in his eyes. He said, "But it's fine. If I didn't insist that you go to Shiwan Village, you might not have been able to enter the government so smoothly. It's great now. You're a deputy division leader. It's good. Work hard. As long as I'm still in my position, I'll send you off in two years. "
Hearing that Su Qiming was so concerned about him, Lu Yiwei was a little panicked. He quickly said, "Thank you, Mayor Su."
"Didn't I tell you? You don't have to be so polite with me." Su Qiming said again, "What do you plan to do next?"
"Plan?"
