"Good morning, Secretary Lu!" Lu Yiwei's secretary, Zhao Xiaokang, followed him into the courtyard.
Lu Yiwei used to be someone else's secretary. Today, their roles were reversed. He was not used to having someone else beside him. He nodded and smiled.
"Did you sleep well last night?" Zhao Xiaokang asked cautiously.
If Lu Yiwei did not mention it, he would not feel anything. But now that he thought about it, he was annoyed. He was fooled the moment he arrived. He was about to question Lu Yiwei, but he asked, "Have you had breakfast?"
"Yes, I have."
"Oh." Lu Yiwei said, "Don't come over in the morning in the future. I can do it alone. Go and prepare a report on Black Mountain County's recent situation. I want to read it at work later. "
"Oh, okay." Zhao Xiaokang hesitated for a while and left.
After entering the cafeteria, Lu Yiwei found an empty seat and sat down. The waiter quickly served all kinds of breakfast. It was a sumptuous breakfast with a glass of milk, a boiled egg, two deep-fried dough sticks, two sesame seed cakes, four plates of side dishes, and a bowl of porridge.
When Lu Yiwei was about to eat, a man came over with a bowl and sat down. "Good morning, Secretary Lu."
Lu Yiwei put down his chopsticks and replied, "Good morning."
"My name is Ren Feng. Please take care of me in the future." Ren Feng said politely.
Lu Yiwei had browsed through the names of the leaders in Black Mountain County yesterday and memorized them. When the names were mentioned, it was natural for him to remember them. He smiled and said, "Hello, Secretary Ren. You are my senior. I should be the one taking care of you."
"Hi! Let's not be so polite. " County party committee Deputy Secretary Ren Feng said, "You came at the right time. This old man can retire and live a carefree life for a few days."
Lu Yiwei could not tell if Ren Feng was telling the truth. He said politely, "Secretary Ren, please don't say that. I will always be a student in front of you. There are many things I need to ask you. If you put the burden on me, I'll be in a daze and won't be able to tell north from south. Besides, you're still young. You have a lot of potential. "
"Haha …" Ren Feng laughed heartily and said, "No wonder you can become a deputy leader at such a young age. It would be strange if I didn't promote you. No, I'm getting old. When it's time to let go, I have to let go. I'll leave it to you youngsters! "As he spoke, his brows were crestfallen, but he appeared sincere.
Lu Yiwei was someone who had been in the bureaucracy for a long time, so he was not surprised by the performances of the officials. More often than not, people would say one thing but think another. No one knew if Ren Feng was sighing at his own career or trying to test Lu Yiwei.
Lu Yiwei took a sip of milk and said, "The leaders of the central government only start to take office at 60 years old. You are at most 50 years old. You are much younger than them. There are plenty of opportunities."
"Haha, Brother Yiwei really knows how to joke with me." Ren Feng said, "If I could really reach that level, I would at least be a substitute committee member by now. Hur hur."
Although they seemed to be chatting with each other, there was a hidden meaning behind every sentence. Suddenly, a young kid came to sit on the same level as him and even snatched food from his mouth. Who would be happy? Not to mention that the Deputy Secretary of the County party committee does not have any real power, even so, he must not let anyone get a share of the spoils.
Lu Yiwei heard Ren Feng's sour tone and purposely changed the topic, "Secretary Ren, I brought you some local specialties from my hometown. I will send them to you later."
"Oh, okay, okay." Ren Feng said and buried his head in his food.
After breakfast, Lu Yiwei walked to the County party committee. Along the way, he saw the dilapidated factories and few pedestrians on both sides of the road. Every place was trying their best to develop their economy, but even the cleverest housewife can't cook without rice. Without the support of resources and favorable policies, even with advanced thinking, it was difficult to develop. For example, Heishan County was a small town located in the western border. There were no mineral resources, traffic was not advantageous, and the consumer market was not big. How could it develop? From this point of view, Nanyang County would have great development in the next few years.
At this moment, a black Mercedes-Benz roared as it drove by. It even honked from time to time. It was very arrogant. Who was it?
When he came to the office, Zhao Xiaokang had already brewed tea for him. There was a stack of documents and today's newspapers on the table. Lu Yiwei lit a cigarette and was about to flip through it when the County party committee director, Lu Tianming knocked on the door and came in.
"Secretary Lu, good morning." Lu Tianming said with a face full of smiles.
Lu Yiwei had a good impression of him, but Wu Shixun's words last night made him feel disgusted. He smiled indifferently and did not say anything.
Lu Tianming did not feel anything was wrong. He sat down and said, "Secretary Lu, Heishan County is not like other counties. This place is poor. If there is anything that we did not take good care of, please correct me."
Lu Yiwei wanted to get angry, but he swallowed his anger when he thought that he was new here. He smiled and said, "I think it's good. You did a good job too."
"Oh, then I'm relieved." Lu Tianming said, "Regarding your car, I specifically asked Secretary Yan for the county finance to purchase a new car. But Secretary Yan said that the county finance is tight and asked for a delay. The County party committee currently has four cars. Other than the two leaders' cars, there are two field cars, both old Santana. If you don't mind, then we can make do with it. "
"Hmm, okay." Lu Yiwei did not care much about these things and nodded.
"Okay, then I will arrange it." Lu Tianming asked again, "How soon will your driver come?"
"In the afternoon."
"Okay." Lu Tianming said, "The County party committee's driver's monthly salary is 800 RMB. What do you think?"
"Do what you have to do, no need to be special."
"Okay, I will ask Xiaokang to receive him when he comes."
"Hmm."
Lu Yiwei's cold attitude made Lu Tianming feel a little awkward. He was putting on such airs at such a young age. He stood up and said, "Secretary Lu, if there is nothing else, I will go out first."
"Oh right, Chief Lu." Lu Yiwei raised his head and said, "I heard that someone died in my dormitory?"
Lu Tianming panicked and asked, "Who did you hear this from?"
"Don't ask about this. Is it true or not?"
Lu Tianming explained, "Secretary Lu, don't listen to their nonsense. There is no such thing. The previous County Mayor died from drinking too much. He did not die in the dormitory but in the car on the way back. So you don't have to panic. As you can see, the dormitory is full, and only this room is empty. If you mind, I will find another room for you immediately. "
"No need." Lu Yiwei said, "I don't mean anything else. I just want to ask. There is no need to change the dormitory. I think it is good there. Alright, you can go. "
Lu Tianming still wanted to explain, but seeing Lu Yiwei engrossed in the documents, he wanted to say something but hesitated, so he quietly left the office.
There were two completely different answers about the previous County Mayor's death. Lu Yiwei was even more confused. Who was telling the truth? It had nothing to do with him, so he was too lazy to care. He took the documents and flipped through them.
From the documents, he learned that Black Mountain County had a population of 200,000. The mineral resources within the country were poor, and there were 86 enterprises of various types. Last year, the industrial output exceeded 6.85 million yuan, and the fiscal revenue reached 90 million yuan … The numbers spoke for themselves. But among the large pile of numbers, other than the estimated population, the rest were undoubtedly false. 86 enterprises? Did they include the abandoned factories? Or the various small workshops were also included. The industrial output couldn't be measured. What was produced was a data, and what was piled up there was also a data. It was completely a data to put gold on. As for the fiscal revenue, Lu Yiwei did not dare to confirm whether it was true or false.
As he was looking, the phone on the table vibrated violently. Seeing it was an unknown number, he picked it up.
"Yiwei, it's me, Jinzhu."
Hearing that it was Guo Jinzhu, Lu Yiwei quickly sat up, thinking that the other party was standing in front of him. He said humbly, "Hello, Secretary Guo."
Guo Jinzhu said over the phone, "I was supposed to send you off personally yesterday, but I went to the province for a meeting, so I arranged for Xiaofei to go on my behalf. I'm very happy that you can come to Xinzhou to work. I'll go and see you when I have time. "
Hearing Guo Jinzhu being so polite, Lu Yiwei was terrified and quickly said, "Secretary Guo, you're too polite. It's my honor to be able to serve you. I'll visit you personally in two days."
"Hey, we're old acquaintances. You don't have to be so polite with me." Guo Jinzhu said casually, "After Zhiyuan told me about this, I immediately suggested to transfer you to the city. But I asked Minister Zhao of the Organization Department. You guys have not served for a year, so you can't be transferred at will. This is the province's decision, and we can't go against it. Black Mountain County is a bit tough, so this is a good opportunity for you to train. I've told Old Yan that I have something to tell him. If he can't solve it, come to me directly. I'll solve it for you. "
Guo Jinzhu's words touched Lu Yiwei. He said, "Thank you for your concern, Secretary Guo. I'll definitely do my best."
"Okay." Guo Jinzhu continued, "With your ability, I believe in you. But I have to remind you that the situation in Black Mountain County is complicated, so it's best not to get involved. I want you to make a smooth transition. If you want to do something, I'll provide you with opportunities. "
At this point, what else could Lu Yiwei say? He could only nod and agree.
"Okay, I still have something to do. Let's talk another day." He hung up the phone.
Lu Yiwei refused to put down his phone and was in a daze. Even Guo Jinzhu said that the situation in Black Mountain County was complicated. Could it be true? It seemed that what he was about to face was not a grand blueprint, but a political dispute.
