After the Lantern Festival, everything returned to normal. Lu Yiwei returned to school on time.
This Spring Festival was the happiest he had experienced in years. What made him even more determined was that he planned to marry Tong Huan. However, this move was strongly opposed by some people.
The first to raise the objection was Zhang Zhiyuan.
When Zhang Zhiyuan heard about it, he immediately called him home and said bluntly, "Yiwei, are you confused? You know what kind of person Tong Huan is. She used to be Ding Changhua's lover. How can you marry her? What will Ding Changhua think if he finds out? Even if you don't consider Ding Changhua, as a leader, there are countless eyes watching you. If you are not careful, you will fall into the abyss. If someone with ulterior motives uses Tong Huan to target you, you will not even have the power to refute. Besides, it will not be good for your reputation if this matter spreads out. "
Lu Yiwei said disapprovingly, "Secretary Zhang, I am not confused. I am very serious about my marriage. What about Tong Huan? Just because she made a mistake in the past, you want to deny everything about her? I think she is good. As for Ding Changhua, Tong Huan is not married to him. Why should he interfere with her freedom? I don't care about reputation. As long as I am open and aboveboard, I am not afraid of their spittle. "
"Stupid!" Seeing that Lu Yiwei was stubborn, Zhang Zhiyuan said anxiously, "Yiwei, I don't care how good your reasons are, but for your future and future, I hope you will consider it carefully. Don't ruin your future because of a whim. You are still young. I am really worried for you. "
Lu Yiwei would never change his mind about what he had decided. He said, "Secretary Zhang, I have seriously considered this matter. Even if there is some criticism, I can bear it."
"You …" Zhang Zhiyuan was so angry that his body trembled. He sighed helplessly and said, "You are on your own, sigh!"
Soon after, his family joined in the opposition.
Ever since Tong Huan showed up at home, Lu Ling had secretly investigated Tong Huan's background. When he checked, he was surprised. Thus, she told her parents about the situation.
The Lu Family had always been a good family, and there had never been any messy incidents. How could they tolerate this? Liu Cuilan called Lu Yiwei back from the party school and scolded him. She also demanded that he stop associating with Tong Huan immediately. Even if she married into the family, she would not acknowledge her as her daughter-in-law.
Lu Weiguo had always been supportive of his son's decisions, but this time, he clearly stood on his family's side. No matter how good Tong Huan was, this marriage was out of the question.
In the end, even Li Shu-man's family, who had nothing to do with him, got involved. They felt that Lu Yiwei's actions were unfair to their daughter. It was fine for Lu Yiwei to remarry, but at least he had to find a daughter from a decent family. If this got out, what would happen to his family's reputation?
Lu Yiwei had finally found a love that belonged to him, but he did not expect that it would attract so much criticism, which made him very upset. Why? Was it wrong for him to pursue happiness? Tong Huan was going to spend the rest of his life with him, not with them. Why did he have to interfere so much? This time, he was going to risk universal condemnation and marry Tong Huan.
However, things did not go as smoothly as he had imagined.
The outspoken Lu Ling had a conversation with Tong Huan beforehand, which shattered the short-lived happiness. Just when Lu Yiwei proposed marriage, Tong Huan rejected it with unusual calmness.
Why? Why did this happen? Once again, he had missed out on love. Lu Yiwei's heart was completely dead.
For a long time, Lu Yiwei did not go home. Instead, he stayed at the party school and focused on studying. He had no other way but to suppress the bitterness in his heart through intense study.
Lu Yiwei did not go home. The Lu family was filled with regret. Many times, Zhong Ming, who had nothing to do with this matter, tried to persuade him, but Lu Yiwei mercilessly rejected him. Because of this, Zhong Ming scolded Lu Ling more than once. He felt that she was meddling in other people's business, ruining Lu Yiwei's happiness.
Lu Ling often cried and begged Lu Yiwei to forgive her. He also repeatedly looked for Tong Huan, hoping that she would reconsider and give Lu Yiwei a chance.
Lu Weiguo used to be happy and carefree all day, but now because of Lu Yiwei, he became depressed. He did not know whether he was wrong, or his son was wrong. If his son bore a grudge against him because of this, or decided not to marry again and retaliated, he did not know what to do.
Life was like a mess, time was like a white colt. In the moment of love and hate, a year of training at the party school was about to end.
At the graduation ceremony, the secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Huang Jiyang, personally attended and gave an important speech. He gave great expectations to this group of youths, hoping that they would shine in their respective posts in the future, show off their skills, live up to the organization's trust, live up to the expectations of the people, display their intelligence, and make positive contributions to the economic and social construction of the province.
After graduation, the most important thing for the students was their future. But the higher-level organization department was slow to come up with a plan, which made people feel haggard.
At the end of May, the plan finally came out. However, the "preferential treatment" in the plan disappointed many students. In the plan, there were three ways out: first, in principle, return to the original work unit and be included in the reserve cadre candidates, with priority in the election; second, go to a remote mountainous area for training. The time was two years. The first year, the assistant to the mayor of the township, and the second year, the secretary of the County party committee in the county; third, go to the ministries and commissions directly under the provincial government for training. After one year of training, there would be an inspection, depending on the situation, to decide whether to stay or leave.
The three ways seemed good, but they were not optimistic. First, go back to the original unit, it was said that they would be included in the reserve cadre, and priority would be considered for promotion. The higher-level policy was good, but how to implement it at the grass-roots level was another matter. It could even be said that it was a completely empty ticket, without any substantive meaning.
Going to a remote mountainous area for training was even more useless. The students selected this time were originally working at the grass-roots level, and some of them were from remote mountainous areas. Now they had to go back to do some temporary work, it was simply uninteresting. Although they could be promoted to the Youth League Committee in the second year, if the higher-level department forgot about this, it was estimated that they would stay there for the rest of their lives.
Training in a provincial-level agency should be said to be the most ideal. What was the purpose of training? Wasn't it for a good future? But the document just had to explain this point in a very hasty manner, making it hard for people to understand. After the inspection, depending on the situation, it meant that not everyone could stay, and a large number of people had to return to their original work unit, which was simply torture. It was okay to stay, but if they were ordered around as traffic officers for a year and then went back with their tails between their legs, where would they put their face?
At the same time, there was no lack of sector-level cadres in this group of students, and even the higher level of deputy division cadres, Lu Yiwei. Where should they go? The three ways out caused a group of students to complain, regretting that they should not have come to the training in the first place, and they all wanted to ask the organization department for an explanation.
Every plan that the organization department came up with was carefully considered, and it was by no means a rash decision. They were dealing with a large group, not a single person. The difficulty of digesting nearly a hundred people at once could be imagined. In addition, they had to give an explanation to society. This special group had to be better than others, but the gap could not be too big, otherwise it would cause dissatisfaction from the people below, which would be extremely disadvantageous to control the overall situation.
The youth training class was personally decided by Huang Jiyang, the secretary of the Provincial Party Committee. His original intention was that the grass-roots leadership cadres had low educational qualifications, and there was a serious fault structure. The old, middle-aged, and young cadres were not matched properly, and young cadres were extremely scarce. He hoped to train a group of people to provide fresh blood to the grass-roots level, and further consolidate the grass-roots political power.
From the perspective of the organization department, some words could not be said firmly, and everything should be stopped at the right point. What was a reserve cadre? Why was it prioritized? Wasn't it because the next step was to focus on training this group of people? However, the students could not grasp the intentions of their superiors, and blindly picked on the words, stubbornly understanding, and would not give up until it was clearly written on the documents. This indirectly showed that their political awareness was not high, and their political acumen was not strong.
In this regard, the higher-ups of the organization department made a clear answer, everything would be carried out according to the established plan, and no special consideration would be given to anyone.
After failing to fight for benefits, the students made a compromise. A large number of people chose to stay in the provincial government to train, and some people returned to their original work units. Only a very small number of people chose to go to remote mountainous areas to train. Such a choice was both a watershed, and it affected the direction of everyone's future career. As for who made the right choice, it was left to time to test.
When Lu Yiwei made the choice, he asked for Zhang Zhiyuan's opinion. After comprehensive consideration, Zhang Zhiyuan hoped that he would go down to take a temporary position to train. Because of the special status of Lu Yiwei, the organization department said that no special consideration would be given to anyone, but he would be given special "preferential treatment." He could go to remote mountainous areas to serve as a full-time deputy secretary of the County party committee, but he had to go to a difficult county or urban area with prominent contradictions.
There weren't many places like this in the province, which was both a remote mountainous area and a difficult area. After receiving the list of candidates, Lu Yiwei was a little confused. On the list, there were basically every area, including Nanyang County in Northern City. However, the largest number of candidates belonged to the economically backward Western City, with four.
After receiving the list, Zhang Zhiyuan hoped that Lu Yiwei would choose Eastern City's Dongze County. No matter what, Eastern City was the most economically powerful city in the province. No matter how poor it was, it would not be so poor that it could not open a business. Moreover, it was close to home, and he was working on the corporate restructuring in Eastern State, so they could take care of each other.
This time, Lu Yiwei did not listen to Zhang Zhiyuan. He focused his attention on Western City's Black Mountain County. This place was not unfamiliar. The memory of the robbery they encountered when they went to Western City was still fresh in his mind.
Zhang Zhiyuan understood his thoughts and did not object. However, he hoped that he would be mentally prepared. Once the choice was made, it could not be changed. If Lu Yiwei made up his mind and stomped his foot, it would be Black Mountain County. He had no confidence in making such a choice. However, he was born to be strong and liked challenges. Whether his choice was right or wrong, he did not know.
Qiu Yingxue chose to return to her original workplace. The night before they parted, she invited Lu Yiwei to dinner for the first time. At the dinner table, the two did not have a substantive conversation. Instead, they returned the 100,000 yuan they borrowed from Lu Yiwei to him.
Fan Chunfang naturally chose to work at the agency directly under the provincial government. However, when she learned of Lu Yiwei's choice, she was shocked. She came to him hoping that he would consider it carefully. If he was willing, she begged her father to find someone to be flexible. However, Lu Yiwei had already made up his mind and politely declined her kindness.
