"Waiter, another bottle of wine!"
Bai Yuxin decided to have a good chat with Lu Yiwei when he saw that the topic was open. She said, "Since we're already on this path, let's not talk about such depressing things. Let me ask you, if you were asked to resign now, what would you do? "
Lu Yiwei turned his cup and smiled bitterly, shaking his head.
Bai Yuxin swam to Lu Yiwei and took a cigarette from the bathtub. They lit it up and said, "Sometimes, we have to submit to fate. Actually, think about it carefully. When have you ever done anything willingly? Almost none. I'm not cultured enough to say those elegant words, but that's the logic. You see, I'm a traffic officer, I've been glorious, I've been down and out. Now, I've learned to live with my tail between my legs and keep a low profile. Do you think I'm willing? But sometimes, I have to give in to reality. Today's silence is for tomorrow's explosion. It doesn't mean you're useless. Think about it! "
Lu Yiwei said what he had been holding back for a long time. "Brother Bai, I want to leave Nanyang County!"
Bai Yuxin fell silent and continued to smoke. She extinguished the cigarette and said, "You want to leave with Zhiyuan?"
"That's the best outcome. If it doesn't work, I can go somewhere else."
Bai Yuxin understood Lu Yiwei's difficulties. "You're right. After all, you'll get bored if you stay in one place for too long. Moreover, you're from Nanyang County. You've offended many people with Zhiyuan and me. If they turn against you, it'll be troublesome. If you're a section chief, it'll be easy to transfer you to Guchuan County. But you're on the same level as me. How can I touch you? How about this, I'll talk to Zhiyuan and see what he can do. If it doesn't work out, I'll follow Mayor Guo to Xi Zhou. "
"When will Secretary Zhang leave?"
"Soon. I think he'll leave when he returns from his studies."
"After Secretary Zhang leaves, who do you think will be the County party committee secretary?"
"Well …" Bai Yuxin thought for a while and said, "I'm not sure. They all say that Secretary Qin is good at using surprise attacks. As for this surprise attack, it's hard to predict. "
Lu Yiwei asked straightforwardly, "Do you think it's possible for Yang Derong?"
"Him?" Bai Yuxin said in a disdainful tone, "Absolutely impossible! If there had been such a plan in the past, it would have been vetoed by the fire this time. In addition, Nanyang County had changed leaders too frequently in the past two years. This time, they would definitely be very cautious in choosing a leader. At the very least, they would send someone who could stand firm and control the situation. If there were no accidents, it was very likely that they would be transferred from other counties. I'm just guessing, but I don't know what Secretary Qin is thinking. Also, when Zhiyuan leaves office, Secretary Qin will ask for his opinion. His opinion may not seem important, but it plays a role. "
"Oh." Lu Yiwei heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that Yang Derong would not be able to become the secretary. He would rather send someone who could control Yang Derong. If the person was a spineless coward, then he would have the final say in Nanyang.
"Alright, let's not talk about these things." Bai Yuxin changed the topic. "Let's talk about you. Why are you still single?"
Lu Yiwei was most afraid of people mentioning this problem. He said helplessly, "I don't want to think about this for now. Let's talk about it in the future."
"What future? You are already so old. If you don't find a good girl soon, you will become someone else's." Bai Yuxin said anxiously, "How about this. I will talk to your sister-in-law and ask her to find a girl for you. Don't be picky! As long as the girl is good in all aspects, you can get married quickly. "
"Thank you, Brother Bai, for your kindness. I will do it myself." Lu Yiwei declined. "Love cannot be forced. I don't mind, but I'm afraid that I will delay her. I will be embarrassed if my sister-in-law gets involved."
"Alright, I don't care. But you really have to hurry. Those who know what you are thinking, those who don't will think that you are sick. "Bai Yuxin said sincerely.
"Alright, I will hurry. Hehe."
Bai Yuxin looked at her watch and hurriedly got up. "It's getting late. I have to go home. I told your sister-in-law before I came back. If I don't go home now, I don't know what she will think. Haha. "
"Alright, I won't keep you then."
Before leaving, Lu Yiwei thought of something and asked, "Oh yes, Brother Bai. Do you know anyone in Dongzhou's Andu County?"
"Andu County? What for? "
"It's about Old Pan. There are some difficulties with the coal mine approval."
Bai Yuxin thought for a while. "I know someone, but we are not close. I can try to talk to them. How about this, I will call you tomorrow. "
"Thank you very much."
"You don't have to be so polite with me." Bai Yuxin rolled her eyes and got into the car. Before leaving, she wound down the window and said, "You can talk to Zhiyuan about this. He can talk to Xu Caimao, the secretary of Dongzhou's Municipal Party Committee."
Lu Yiwei said awkwardly, "It's just a small matter. I don't want to disturb this relationship. Furthermore, it's not my coal mine. I'm just doing him a favor. "
Bai Yuxin gave a thought-provoking smile and left in his car.
After Bai Yuxin left, Lu Yiwei called Pan Chengjun over. "Old Pan, the money problem has been solved. I will work hard on the coal mine approval. Is there anything else you want me to solve?"
"Not at the moment." Pan Chengjun knew that it was good to have a big tree to lean on. If this coal mine was his, every step would be difficult. But in Lu Yiwei's hands, it was a piece of cake.
"Okay!" Lu Yiwei said, "If you run into any trouble, don't bear it alone. Let me know immediately. There is only one goal, and that is to run the Dong Cheng coal mine well. "
"Okay, don't worry about this."
"How is Hai Dong doing these days?"
"Not bad, much more restrained than before."
"Is the female secretary still around?"
"Sent her away."
"Oh." Lu Yiwei sighed in relief. "You have to keep an eye on her. If she does anything unusual, let me know immediately."
"Okay."
The next morning, after Lu Yiwei woke up, he called Song Yong to ask about the situation with the Education Bureau. On the other end of the phone, Song Yong said excitedly, "Everything is settled."
Hearing this good news, Lu Yiwei was very happy. At least he had done something practical during his tenure in Shiwan Village. He did not ask about the details and said, "Okay, I'll put this on your head. We'll talk about it when we get back."
After leaving the scenic area of Mount Tiantong, Lu Yiwei asked Li Ermao to drive directly to the City God Temple.
Yesterday, Lu Yiwei gave Lao Han 500 yuan to buy two sets of clothes for Ermao. In the end, he took out the suit that he had worn for more than ten years. Not only was the style old-fashioned, but he also looked listless. He planned to buy two sets of clothes for Ermao.
Li Ermao was tall and had served in the army before. Whatever he wore was appropriate. Lu Yiwei bought him a suit and a casual outfit. After changing, he looked like a different person. Li Ermao could not speak, but from his expression, one could tell that he was very grateful to Lu Yiwei.
After leaving the City God Temple, Lu Yiwei gave him a mobile phone. Li Ermao was still using the obsolete pager, so it was very inconvenient to contact him. Lu Yiwei could completely ignore these things, but Lao Han handed him over to him, so he should treat him as a family member. From Li Ermao, he saw the shadow of Li Haidong. They were both from poor families, and it was not easy to rely on him. He did not expect Li Haidong to achieve a career in the future, but at least he could guarantee a basic living.
On the way back, Lu Yiwei asked, "Ermao, I heard the car started early in the morning. Where did you go?"
Li Ermao's heart tightened, and his face turned red. He did not dare to speak for a long time.
Seeing this, Lu Yiwei regretted asking this question. He quickly said, "Ermao, I don't mean anything else. Just concentrate on driving."
When they were almost at the border of Nanyang, Li Ermao, who could not get anything out of it, took the initiative to say, "Uncle Lu, I was thinking of taking you to various government agencies to work in the future, so this morning I drove around one by one. I went to the Municipal Party Committee, the Finance Bureau, the Labor Bureau … "
As he listened, Lu Yiwei was a little touched. This child looked honest, thoughtful, and meticulous. He said, "Ermao, next time call me brother, don't call me uncle, do you hear?"
"But my dad told me to call you uncle …"
Unexpectedly, Li Ermao was still stubborn. Lu Yiwei directly ordered, "From now on, you have to listen to me, do you hear?"
"Yes."
Back in Shiwan Village, just as Lu Yiwei sat down, Song Yong came in. He said with a proud face, "Yiwei, that old fox agreed. I think it will be approved in two days."
Lu Yiwei asked curiously, "Didn't you say that the old guy's bones were hard to chew? How did he get it?"
Song Yong said mysteriously, "Well … Forget it. It's a dirty trick. You better not know about it. Anyway, it's done."
Lu Yiwei suddenly panicked. He got up and whispered, "Don't tell me you let Fan Chunfang …"
"What are you talking about? Am I that kind of person?" Song Yong straightened his neck and said, "If you don't believe me, I'll call the ice beauty over and ask her face to face." As he said, he got up to go out.
"Alright, alright, alright!" Lu Yiwei pulled Song Yong and said, "I believe you, alright? Tell me, how did you get it done?"
Song Yong deliberately kept him in suspense. He sat on the sofa and said leisurely, "Doesn't that old guy like women? I directly got the city's TV station's host over. The old guy was instantly stunned … Haha."
Song Yong had a lot of tricks up his sleeves. There was no doubt about that. Lu Yiwei still trusted him. Otherwise, he would not have gone through so much trouble to get him over. He did not ask further and said, "Since this project has been approved, your task this year is more important. The construction of the school will be completely handed over to you. I won't ask about it. Now is the best time for the construction. After it's done, the village government will fork out some money to temporarily find a place to settle the students. If something really happens one day, it will be hard for you and me to explain. "
