When Yuan Hongtao said that, Lu Yiwei could tell that he was siding with his own people. But it was human nature. If it was him, he would also be biased. After all, he couldn't let his fellow villagers suffer losses. He nodded. "Secretary Yuan's words make sense, and we intend to do something about it. The problem is that the other party is asking for a sky-high price and has no sincerity to settle this matter. So, I would like to ask the town to mediate and give each other a way out to settle this peacefully. If this matter gets out of hand, it won't look good on you. "
Yuan Hongtao snorted and said, "Thank you for taking my face into consideration, little brother. I'll be honest with you. The town can't interfere in this matter. If they interfere, I will have to go through the judicial process. I don't think you want to see that happen, right? We are both serving the people, and there's no need to make things difficult for both sides. So, I suggest that you discuss it among yourselves. If it doesn't work out, I will have to step in. "
Hearing Yuan Hongtao kicking the ball, Lu Yiwei suppressed his anger. But what could he do? After all, he was in someone else's territory, and he could only swallow his anger. He agreed. "Alright then. Let's continue our discussion. No matter what, I'm still very grateful to you."
"Don't mention it. We are all officials, and there's no need to be so polite." Yuan Hongtao looked down on Lu Yiwei in his heart, but he was still polite on the surface.
Lu Yiwei continued. "Secretary Yuan, I have another request. This morning, the people from the police station took my brother away. I don't think we should release him before we figure out what's going on. "
"Oh? Is there such a thing? "Yuan Hongtao pretended to be confused and made a phone call in front of Lu Yiwei to understand the situation. After the call, he said, "Little brother, the man was indeed arrested by our town's police station. The reason is that he assaulted someone. That's a little outrageous. A strong dragon can't suppress a snake in its own land. He can do whatever he wants in Nanyang County, but this is Andu County.
Yuan Hongtao was reprimanding Li Haidong for not knowing what's good for him. Lu Yiwei listened patiently and said: "Secretary Yuan, Li Haidong was wrong to hit someone. I will definitely reprimand him. But as the person involved, there are some things that only he knows. There are still a group of people surrounding the entrance of the coal mine. Why don't you tell them to let them out first and then bring them in after we settle them? What do you think? "
Yuan Hongtao suddenly laughed, then became serious and said, "I say, little brother, the police station doesn't belong to my family. I can't just let him go if I want to. I'm sorry, I can't do anything."
Seeing that Yuan Hongtao wasn't going to help them, Zhang Xuan was stunned. You can't blame him. Why would he help you for no reason? Being rejected at the door made Lu Yiwei lose face. Then, he stood up and said, "Since Secretary Yuan has difficulties, I won't make things difficult for you. Sorry for bothering you." After saying that, he turned around and left.
"Wait!" Yuan Hongtao stopped Lu Yiwei and said, "Little brother, forgive me for asking. Is this coal mine owned by you?"
Lu Yiwei shook his head and said, "No, Li Haidong is my brother. He works for someone else."
"Oh, that's fine then." Yuan Hongtao said, "If it's your coal mine, I can consider asking the higher-ups to make an exception. If it's not, then I'm sorry." Yuan Hongtao's action was actually a test.
"Thank you. You can look for me in Nanyang County in the future." Lu Yiwei said.
The older, the wiser. Unexpectedly, Yuan Hongtao immediately replied, "I'm not familiar with Nanyang, and I don't know many people there. I probably won't go there in the future. But thank you for your kind intentions."
Looking at Lu Yiwei's back, Yuan Hongtao muttered in his heart. This kid is so young, and he is already a member of the County party committee Standing Committee. He must have some backing. Also, he dared to directly ask for the release of Li Haidong. His words and actions were neither servile nor overbearing. He was experienced in the battlefield and was made for great things. Also, he said the coal mine was not his. Only a ghost would believe him. So, Yuan Hongtao concluded that this person was not simple.
Not simple. These three words seemed simple, but it was a very high evaluation. Yuan Hongtao had been an official for many years and was well-versed in the ways of officialdom. He had trained a pair of fiery eyes and relied on his ability to navigate different levels of officialdom. Not offending anyone was his way of being an official. Who could guarantee that this kid would not become his leader in the future? It was really hard to say.
In fact, he could have resolved this matter personally. Releasing Li Haidong was also a simple matter. After such a big incident, he thought that this kid would at least express his gratitude. He did not expect that this kid would come empty-handed and leave empty-handed. How could he do anything? Since you don't understand etiquette, don't blame me for being merciless. Thinking of this, he put down his psychological burden and turned on the computer screen to continue looking at the stock market. "Aiyo, so much has fallen in the blink of an eye. So f * cking unlucky …"
Lu Yiwei left the town hall and stood on the crowded street, feeling helpless and lost. But what could he do in someone else's territory? It looked like he could only take the path that he was least willing to take. The call for help rang.
He took out his phone and was about to make a call when a car roared past him and drove into the town hall's courtyard, almost knocking him over. He was already in a bad mood, and now he encountered this unlucky incident. He cursed angrily and walked to the side to make the call.
Just as he dialed Zhong Ming's number, Lu Yiwei heard someone call 'Mr. Lu'. He thought his ears had gone bad, but this was the Eastern State. He could not be bothered. When the call connected, Xiao Yang magically appeared in front of him.
"Mr. Lu, I saw you in the car earlier. I didn't expect to see you here," Xiao Yang said with a face full of excitement.
Xiao Yang was transferred from Nan Yang County to the Eastern State Tourism Bureau. This move was very clever. Until now, Lu Yiwei could not understand how Xiao Yang did it. According to him, it was his family who brought it back.
But Lu Yiwei did not believe it. Thinking back to Zhang Zhiyuan's visit to the textile mill in Eastern State and his relationship with Xiao Yang's family, he was even more convinced that Zhang Zhiyuan was the mastermind. With his relationship with the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Xu Caimao, it was not a problem to transfer someone.
Seeing it was Xiao Yang, Lu Yiwei hung up immediately and said in surprise, "Xiao Yang, why are you here?"
Xiao Yang pouted at the town hall and said, "Today, Mayor Han and I went to the countryside to inspect the safety of the coal mine. We just came from the county and bumped into you."
"Mayor Han? Inspecting the safety of the coal mine? "Lu Yiwei was baffled and confused.
Xiao Yang quickly explained, "It's like this. After I was transferred back to the city's tourism bureau, Mayor Han came to our bureau to do some research. He found out that I worked in the coal mine and was a secretary. Coincidentally, he was in need of a secretary, so he transferred me to him. I've been with him for half a month. "
"Oh." Lu Yiwei understood the ins and outs of the matter and said with a smile, "You have a promising future. Do a good job!"
"Thank you for your compliment. If it weren't for you, I, Xiao Yang, would not be who I am today." Xiao Yang said modestly.
Lu Yiwei looked at Xiao Yang's handsome face and said, "We are brothers. Don't call me Lu Yiwei, just call me brother."
"Okay, haha." Xiao Yang said, "Brother Yiwei, what brings you to Yuze Town?"
Just nice, with Xiao Yang's relationship, things would be easier. Compared to Zhong Ming, he was more comfortable with Xiao Yang. Just as he was about to say something, Zhong Ming called back. Lu Yiwei hurriedly picked up and the other side said politely, "Hello, brother, I didn't hear you just now. I'm sorry."
Lu Yiwei lied, "I dialed the wrong number just now. It's nothing."
"Oh, that's good. If there's something, you must tell me."
"Well, okay."
Just as he was about to hang up, Zhong Ming said, "By the way, brother, I've already booked a house for you. When you have time, you can come over to choose the floor."
"Well, okay, I'll come over when I have time."
Although they had become a family, they had not lived together after all. They were somewhat unfamiliar with each other, so they spoke more politely. After a few words, they hung up in a hurry.
"Xiao Yang, I have something I want to ask you for help with..."
Xiao Yang said, "Li Haidong? Is that the Haidong we had dinner with? "
"Yes."
"This Yuan Hongtao is too f * cking ostentatious." Xiao Yang said angrily, "Brother, you don't have to worry about this. You go back to the mine and deal with it first. Later, when Mayor Han goes to the mine to investigate, I'll let him bypass Dongcheng Coal Mine. As for Haidong, I'll let Yuan Hongtao personally send him back. "
Hearing Xiao Yang's words, Lu Yiwei felt a lot more at ease. "Xiao Yang, then I'll have to trouble you with this matter."
"Don't say such things. I've always been the one to trouble you. Leave it to me. Even if my ability is limited and I can't do it, I'll find a way to do it. It just so happens that Andu County's Mayor came to the countryside with Mayor Han. I'll mention it when the time is right. If it really doesn't work, I'll let Mayor Han do it. "
Xiao Yang's words were full of sincerity, and Lu Yiwei was very touched. He said, "Okay, then I'll leave this matter to you. I'll go back to the mine immediately to deal with the matter."
"Hurry up and go. If it's still early after Mayor Han finishes his investigation, I'll go and take a look."
Lu Yiwei believed in Xiao Yang's ability. With his heart at ease, he quickly returned to Dongcheng Coal Mine.
As soon as he entered the yard, Lu Yiwei saw another group of people. He saw about a dozen people, some carrying video cameras, some holding cameras, squatting in front of the office building. His heart tightened. This matter had actually alarmed the media. Once it was spread, it would be embarrassing. The matter became even more complicated.
After getting out of the car, Lu Yiwei said to Li Ermao, "Drive the car to a remote place and cover the license plate." Then, he went straight to the office building.
When the reporters saw Lu Yiwei, they immediately became spirited. They all got up and turned on their cameras to take pictures. Lu Yiwei hurriedly covered his face and reprimanded them, "What are you doing? Who allowed you to interview me? Besides, what's the use of taking pictures of me? I'm not from Dongcheng Coal Mine. "
