Back at the shop, Li Shu-man was leaning on the door with a worried look. When she saw Lu Yiwei, she ran over and asked: "Yiwei, did you do anything to him?"
Lu Yiwei did not want her to worry and smiled: "It's fine. I just talked to him. If he comes to see you again, tell me immediately. Do you hear me? "
"Mhmm." Li Shuman nodded her head in disappointment.
"How is the business recently?" Lu Yiwei asked with concern.
Li Shu-man said: "It's fine. Winter is the peak season for the clothing business. There are not many customers during normal times."
"Oh." Lu Yiwei said: "Shu-man, it's not realistic to ask you not to do business. But Xiao Yu is the most important. I suggest you hire someone to look after the shop. You can come here every day and focus on taking care of your child. "
Li Shu-man has always listened to Lu Yiwei and said: "Yes. Xiao Yu will start school in two days. I will hire someone then."
"How are Xiao Yu's grades?"
"Not bad. Above average in class."
"Does she still want to learn dance?"
"No." Li Shu-man said: "Since Tong Huan's dance studio closed, she refused to learn. I tried to change a few classes, but she said she only wants Teacher Tong. I can't do anything. "
"Oh." Lu Yiwei remembered Tong Huan's words and said: "It's fine if she doesn't want to learn. I will look for Tong Huan and see if he can teach Xiao Yu alone. Do you have any other specialties? "
"Painting? But Xiao Yu doesn't seem to like it. She is only interested in dance. Ai!" Li Shu-man sighed.
Lu Yiwei can understand Xiao Yu's feelings. It was the same when he was young. He liked the teacher and the subject. Those he didn't like were slightly worse. "Alright, I'll talk to Tong Huan later."
At this time, Fan Chunfang came back with Xiao Yu.
"Dad, Mom, look at how many things Auntie Fan bought for me. There's even my favorite Barbie doll. I'm so happy," Xiao Yu said as he bounced around with the toys in his hands.
Li Shu-man looked at Fan Chunfang carrying bags of all sizes and felt upset. He said politely, "Thank you for spending so much money."
Fan Chunfang likes Xiao Yu and said, "Sister Shuman is too polite, this is what I should do."
Lu Yiwei didn't say anything. He just felt that he owed Xiao Yu too much and tried to make up for it in other ways. But nothing could make up for the emptiness in his heart and the regret in his emotions.
At noon, the whole family had a meal together. On the way back, Fan Chunfang cautiously said, "Yiwei, I have a suggestion. When we have our own home, can we bring Xiao Yu over on Sunday?"
He didn't expect Fan Chunfang to be so considerate. This was also what he was thinking. He said, "You won't mind, right?"
"Why would I?" Fan Chunfang said seriously, "Xiao Yu is your daughter. You've been apart for so long. I believe you miss her too. Besides, Xiao Yu is obedient, sensible, smart and beautiful. I like her very much. "
"Alright."
Back home, Fan Chunfang was still thinking about the house purchase in the morning. She worriedly asked, "Yiwei, tell me the truth. Where did you get so much money to buy a house? Don't tell me …"
Lu Yiwei wanted to hide it from Fan Chunfang, but it wasn't a long-term solution. He had to tell the truth.
Hearing that there was another side to Lu Yiwei, Fan Chunfang opened her mouth in surprise. She stammered, "That means the Dongcheng coal mine is yours?"
"Yes." Lu Yiwei said indifferently.
"Then Pan Chengjun and Li Haidong are working for you?"
"Yes and no." Lu Yiwei said, "We're all brothers. We help each other to earn some money. I'm in the bureaucracy. I can't run my own business. "
Fan Chunfang worked in the provincial land department. Naturally, she knew what it meant to open a coal mine. With the current situation, earning ten thousand buckets a day was not a dream. No wonder Lu Yiwei was so arrogant about buying a house in the morning. So that was the reason. She worriedly said, "Yiwei, you have to be careful about this. If you use this as a blackmail, you won't be able to explain yourself even if you have a hundred mouths."
"Of course I know." Lu Yiwei said, "Back then, I didn't want to open a coal mine. Since my career failed, I had to leave a way out for myself. Everything I have today is all thanks to my old leader, Zhang Zhiyuan. Without his help, I wouldn't be who I am today. All the procedures of the coal mine have nothing to do with me. Don't worry about that. Besides, not many people know about it. So, I hope you can keep it a secret. Don't tell Dad and Mom for the time being. "
"Yes, I know what to do." Fan Chunfang still couldn't believe it. She shook Lu Yiwei's arm and said, "Yiwei, how many more things are you hiding from me? Since we are husband and wife, I hope you can be honest with me. Even if something happens in the future, I can share your burden. "
Seeing Fan Chunfang's anxious face, Lu Yiwei smiled indifferently, "Don't worry. I, Lu Yiwei, have always been cautious. I won't leave any loopholes. Even if someone finds out about it in the future, they can investigate it. "
Hearing Lu Yiwei being so careless and confident, Fan Chunfang felt slightly uneasy. But she believed that Lu Yiwei could handle everything well.
In the afternoon, Li Haidong came with the money. Before buying the house, Fan Chunfang stopped him. She called the leader of the Department of Land and after a few rounds of negotiation, and with all kinds of complicated connections, the deal was made at the lowest price of 20% off. After the developer's manager found out about the other party's background, he reduced the price and gave her a basement and parking space for free.
Happy times are always short. In the blink of an eye, the weekend was over. When they parted, Fan Chunfang was reluctant. She watched Lu Yiwei's car slowly drive away with tears in her eyes.
These two days, although Lu Yiwei was in Jiangdong City, he used the phone to monitor the situation in Black Mountain County. The recruitment notice for teachers had been released over the weekend. The registration on Monday was abnormally lively.
After the first day of registration, Lu Yiwei received the registration list. There were more than 200 applicants, and there were many students from other provinces, including students from famous universities. From this, it could be seen that the employment pressure for university students was not light.
At the same time, Lu Yiwei's phone was exploding with calls. Almost all of them wanted to use their connections to arrange for their friends and relatives. Even the upright Secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, Wu Shixun, came to visit in person, hoping that his niece could join. This gave him a big problem.
In today's society, it was obviously unrealistic to be too straightforward and use a ruler to measure everything. But completely opening the back door to let in all kinds of connections went against the original purpose of the recruitment. The people recruited were to change the backward education in Black Mountain County, not to leisurely drink tea and read the newspaper. What he thought was not necessarily known to outsiders.
Faced with this difficult problem, Lu Yiwei's general answer was to take the exam first and wait for the results to come out.
On Zhou Dake's side, he poached seven or eight retired teachers with a lot of money. He also poached a teacher with rich menstrual blood experience from the best high school in the provincial capital, Xijiang University Affiliated High School. All of this suddenly improved the reputation of Dongguan High School. Of course, the reason why they came back was naturally to get a high return. He did not dare to make the decision, so he asked for Lu Yiwei's opinion. Lu Yiwei readily agreed without thinking. As he said, he would find a way to solve the problem of money.
In addition, the recruitment of the college entrance examination repeat class started at the same time. Zhou Dake originally thought that there would be a lot of people signing up, but after a few days, there were only a few people signing up, which made him anxious. In the end, no family was willing to use their own children as a bet. Sending them to a newly established Dongguan High School was more or less uncertain.
Zhou Dake once again looked for Lu Yiwei to discuss countermeasures. If they were not willing to come, there was nothing he could do. After all, he could not force them to come.
"Didn't you say that you were going to poach a few students from Nanyang County who failed in the college entrance examination? How is it going?"
Zhou Dake sighed and said, "There are a few students who are willing to come, but their parents have been hesitant and are still considering."
Lu Yiwei said directly, "Go and tell them that as long as they are willing to come, tuition and accommodation will be free. On this basis, if they pass the college entrance examination by one mark, they will be rewarded 100 yuan. There is no limit. If 100 yuan is not enough, then 200 yuan. For special top students, it can be stacked up to 500 yuan. "
Zhou Dake opened his mouth in surprise and said, "Secretary Lu, this is not a small amount of money. Will the county agree?"
"You don't have to worry about this." Lu Yiwei was determined to change the face of Heishan County's education system. He said, "You are in charge of poaching people. I will coordinate with the county."
"Okay." With Lu Yiwei's words, Zhou Dake said confidently, "In this way, many students will be willing to come. Not only will they not have to play with money, but they can also earn money. I have never heard of such a good thing."
At the same time, the construction of Dongguan Middle School's teaching building project, which was led by Jin Rongguang, had begun in the past two days. Three construction teams entered the site at the same time. There was no paperwork. It was impossible to complete something in a short period of time. Everything seemed rushed. But time waited for no man. They worked at full speed, day and night.
It was strange that the first half of the year was dry. There was not a single drop of rain. But since the beginning of the winter, it was as if God was angry. It rained every day, which made Yan Bugao and Jin Rongguang anxious. Someone came up with the idea to build a huge canopy at the construction site and continue to work. A person's imagination was endless, especially when it came to dealing with superiors' inspections. Intelligence was fully displayed. There were only things that one could not think of, but there was nothing that one could not do.
On the surface, Dongguan Middle School's teaching building was a livelihood project, but in fact, it was a show project. If Guo Jinzhu had not flown into a rage at the meeting, perhaps the leaders of Black Mountain County would not have come up with the idea of changing the building. On the one hand, their thinking was backward. On the other hand, their minds were not on development at all.
Lu Yiwei sat in his office worrying about money. He found Yan Bugao and brought up the matter. Yan Bugao immediately reacted strongly. He quickly waved his hand and said, "Yiwei, you can say whatever you want, but don't talk to me about money. The county really can't make ends meet. We can't come up with a single cent. Dongguan Middle School's budget was 1.8 million yuan, but in reality, it's at least three to four million yuan. And that's not including the related supporting projects. I really can't do anything. You can think of other ways. You have a lot of connections. You can go to the higher-ups. As long as you can get money, I can make sure that all of it is used for education. Okay? "
