For the past two days, Lu Yiwei had been paying close attention to the news. Like everyone else, he did not pay much attention to the outbreak of SARS. He thought it was just a normal flu that would be fine in a few days. Moreover, Black Mountain County was a small place where outsiders were not willing to come and locals were not willing to leave. There was nothing to worry about.
He was not in charge of health and epidemic prevention, so there was no need for him to worry about it.
As the final exams were approaching, Lu Yiwei came to Huai Sheng High School to check on the work.
Ever since Zhou Dake became the principal of the school, his management was in good order. However, some people reported to him that Zhou Dake was too strict with the teachers and students, and some of the young teachers could not take it. At the same time, some students were complaining that there were only four days of rest in a month. It was inhumane.
Entering Zhou Dake's office, Lu Yiwei sat down and smiled. "Dake, many people have reported your problems to me recently. As a principal, you are going to offend some people!"
Zhou Dake said bitterly, "Secretary Lu, you are going to ask me for results next year. How can I not be stricter?"
"You can be stricter, but you have to be humane."
"Humane? Do you think our education system is suitable for humanization? "Zhou Dake said bluntly." Kids nowadays are not like us. They are more active in their thinking. Two days ago, I saw two freshmen kissing on the field. What's going on? Can you not care? "
Lu Yiwei said jokingly, "Do you dare to say that you did not have such thoughts when you were in high school?"
"Secretary Lu, this …" Zhou Dake said awkwardly, blushing.
"Haha." Lu Yiwei laughed heartily. "I'm just joking with you. It's normal for kids to fall in love. However, you have to guide them properly. You can't scold or beat them. The more you do that, the more rebellious they will be. I remember we also had thoughts when we saw pretty girls. Then what about the teacher? "
Zhou Dake said, "The quality of the new batch of teachers is not good. Some of them got in through connections. The problem lies with them. They draw their eyebrows and curl their hair. They wear high heels and attract attention. This is a school, not a nightclub. Who are you dressing like that for? I'll force them to dye it back. Just say that I'm strict. You can scold me if you want. I'll accept your criticism. "
"Why would I criticize you?" Lu Yiwei said, "Da Ke, I called you to Black Mountain County to give you enough power to revitalize the education system. Let's not talk about whether or not you did the right thing. Even if you did the wrong thing, I will support you unwaveringly. "
Hearing this, Zhou Dake was moved. He nodded and said, "Thank you, Secretary Lu, for your support."
"Don't be so polite with me. Don't call me Secretary Lu in the future. Just call me Yiwei like before."
After all, Lu Yiwei was a County Leader. How could he be the same as before? Zhou Dake sighed and said, "I often think of the time when we were in the statistics bureau. It was like we were on steroids. Every day, we would work overtime and not feel tired. Now, we can't do that. If we sleep a little late, we will easily lose sleep and be listless the next day."
"You also have insomnia?" Lu Yiwei asked curiously.
"Of course. The pressure is too big. I don't dare to let my guard down."
Hearing Zhou Dake was working so hard, Lu Yiwei comforted him, "You don't have to work so hard. Just let nature take its course. Even if you don't do well, I won't say anything. Oh yes, how are the repeaters? "
"Pretty good!" Zhou Dake said excitedly, "Last month, there were seven or eight students who scored 600 points in the military training exam. One of them even scored 690 points. If he keeps this up, he will be a good candidate for Tsinghua University. "
"That's great." Lu Yiwei was also happy and said, "You have to pay more attention to this class, especially those who live in other cities. You have to improve their meals and nutrition. Don't drop the ball at the critical moment. You don't have to worry about money. I will think of a way. "
"Enough." Zhou Dake said, "There is still a lot of money in the school's account."
"Okay." Lu Yiwei warned, "Every time you spend a sum of money, you must strictly follow the rules and regulations. Go through all the necessary procedures. Your current position is very sensitive, and you must be wary of people with ulterior motives."
"Secretary Lu, don't worry. I know what to do."
After chatting for a while, Lu Yiwei said, "Before you came, I said that I will be responsible for your future. If I am transferred out of Black Mountain County next year, I will think of a way to bring you along. If you don't leave, it will be even better. So, you don't have to worry about these things. I will take care of everything. "
Lu Yiwei was so thoughtful. What else can Zhou Dake say? He understood everything without saying anything.
After leaving Huai Sheng High School and returning to his office, Fu Guorui, the silkworm factory's manager, came in.
Fu Guorui smiled and said, "Secretary Lu, I have something to discuss with you."
Some time ago, the silkworm factory had spent a lot of money at the Suzhou Agricultural Products Exhibition. Lu Yiwei thought that Dong Xuebing was here to ask for money. He said, "Fine. You can write a report. I will get Mayor Jin to sign it."
"No, no, no. It is not about this." Fu Guorui said, "This is nothing. Our silkworm factory will pay for it."
Lu Yiwei was surprised that the stingy Fu Guorui had become so generous. "You are rich?"
Fu Guorui still had a smile on his face. "I am happier than being rich. Let me tell you, a company in Guangzhou has decided to invest 10 million RMB into our silkworm factory to expand our factory. They are also importing imported equipment to provide raw materials for the company. "
"Really? Why didn't you tell me in advance? "
"They had just talked to me. I can't make up my mind, so I came to ask you for your opinion."
"Have you told Secretary Yan?"
"Not yet."
"Oh." Lu Yiwei thought for a while and asked. "What is the company called?"
"Guangzhou Pansy Clothing Co., Ltd."
"Him?" Lu Yiwei remembered and asked. "Is their manager called Chen Zhongqi?"
"Yes, yes, yes. That's him."
Lu Yiwei was puzzled. Such a big company coming all the way to invest in Black Mountain County. It was illogical. He asked, "Why did they come to Black Mountain County to invest?"
"Mr. Chen said that our raw materials are good, and our geographical location is suitable for silkworm rearing." Fu Guorui said, "Mr. Chen taught me a lesson. He said silkworms can not only be used for clothing, but they can also be used as medicine. He wants to work with us for a long time and mainly provide raw materials. If possible, the factory will be built in Black Mountain County. "
Lu Yiwei did not dare to let his guard down when he heard there was such a big investment. He asked, "Where is Mr. Chen now?"
"Mr. Chen did not come this time. His company's Deputy CEO came." Fu Guorui said, "If we have any intention to cooperate, Mr. Chen will come over immediately."
Lu Yiwei and Chen Zhongqi had a conversation last time. Lu Yiwei did not expect Chen Zhongqi to chase him all the way from Suzhou to Black Mountain County. But Lu Yiwei was curious. Was the silkworm factory's raw materials really that good?
Lu Yiwei thought for a while and said, "This is a good thing. How about this? I will discuss with Secretary Yan first before making a decision."
After Fu Guorui left, Lu Yiwei knocked on Yan Bugao's door. When he told Lu Yiwei about this, Yan Bugao jumped up from his chair and said excitedly, "Is what you said true?"
This was the first time Lu Yiwei saw Yan Bugao so excited. He nodded and said, "Old Fu from the silkworm factory told me."
"Quickly call him over!" Yan Bugao was in a good mood. He walked back and forth with his hands on his waist and said, "This is a good thing. You can bring in 10 million RMB in one go. Not to mention Black Mountain County, even the whole city does not have such a grand style. If this matter really succeeds, I will give you credit."
Lu Yiwei smiled and said, "This has nothing to do with me. It is all because of Secretary Yan's foresight and good leadership."
Yan Bugao was stunned. He stared at Lu Yiwei for a few seconds. His face gradually bloomed into a smile and he pointed with his finger and said, "Yiwei, I have said before that there is no talent in Black Mountain County, and no one can understand my difficulties. Now it seems that only you understand me the best. Haha."
Lu Yiwei smiled helplessly.
After Fu Guorui came in, Yan Bugao had a 180-degree change. He held Fu Guorui's hand and asked eagerly, "Old Fu, quickly tell me what is going on."
Fu Guorui repeated, and Yan Bugao became even more excited. He immediately said, "Old Fu, don't do anything for the next two days. Focus on this matter. Yiwei, you will be in charge of the silkworm factory. You must be responsible to the end. "
A few days later, the news of a company investing in Black Mountain County spread like wildfire. The inconspicuous silkworm factory suddenly became the focus of everyone's attention. Driven by profits, the other County leaders started to move. There was no progress on this matter, and the County was in a mess. Everyone was fighting to be in charge of this matter.
First was the County Mayor, Jin Rongguang. It was natural for the government to be in charge of the economy. It was inappropriate for the County party committee to be in charge. Because of this, Jin Rongguang quarreled with Yan Bugao. Of course, Yan Bugao did not agree when he saw this juicy piece of meat in front of him.
The Deputy Mayor, Guo Zhenbiao, also joined in. According to the division of labor, he was in charge of the enterprise and investment. He should be in charge of this matter. He did not discuss it with Yan Bugao and went straight to the City Government. Mayor Li Jianye bypassed Yan Bugao and decided to put Jin Rongguang and Guo Zhenbiao in charge of this matter.
After knowing this, Lu Yiwei felt that it was ridiculous. If they did not care, then so be it. He was too lazy to care. He felt that there was something fishy about this matter. When he thought about how Su Qiming was cheated in Nanyang County, he could not help but be more vigilant.
It was the weekend again, and Lu Yiwei returned to Jiangdong City.
Fan Chunfang's belly was getting bigger and bigger. Even if Lu Yiwei had something big on his mind, he had to let it go. Moreover, Fan Rongkui had gone through that incident a while ago. Fan Chunfang was traumatized. At this time, he had to take on the responsibility of a husband.
Fortunately, Fan Chunfang was pregnant with a boy. The family seemed to have forgotten about the unhappiness and were immersed in joy, waiting for the arrival of a new life.
Although Fan Rongkui landed smoothly, he did not escape the investigation of the higher-ups. A few days after the incident, he was transferred from the Publicity Department of the Provincial Party Committee to the Department of Health as the Deputy Secretary of the Party Group and Deputy Director.
He was still a deputy. From the Publicity Department to the Department of Health as the Deputy Director, from the Party and the masses to the government, it was obvious that he had been demoted. However, in the Publicity Department, it was practical, while in the Department of Health, it was practical. There was a fundamental difference between the two. Fan Rongkui did not feel discouraged because of the transfer. Instead, he fought hard and was full of expectations for his new unit.
However, he encountered SARS as soon as he arrived. It was quite challenging to be assigned to a dangerous position. There were two sides to every coin. For those who were pessimistic, this was a disaster. If they were not careful, they would be in trouble. For those who were proactive, this was an opportunity. If they could win this battle, they would have a bright future.
Fan Rongkui was busier than before, and the number of times he went home decreased. However, when he heard that Lu Yiwei was back, he went home despite his busy schedule.
Every time Lu Yiwei went home, he would go to the supermarket first and buy a lot of food to cook for Fan Chunfang. This time was no exception. He bought pork belly to make her favorite red braised pork.
Lu Yiwei was busy in the kitchen while Fan Rongkui and Sun Chunyun sat in the living room, watching television and chatting.
Sun Chunyun looked at the kitchen and said softly: "Lao Fan, when Fangfang fell for Yiwei, I was very unhappy. Now, it seems that your decision was right. "
Fan Rongkui snorted proudly: "No matter what, I have been working in the government all my life, and I don't even have the ability to judge people? When I first saw him, I felt that he was not bad. Furthermore, Fangfang likes him, so she tried her best to make this marriage a success. We cannot interfere with our daughter's marriage. If she finds someone she does not like, will she be happy? "
Sun Chunyun put down her sweater and sighed: "That's right. If she had really married that Xu Lei, this would not have happened."
"Don't mention Xu Shousong in front of me, I get angry whenever he is mentioned." Fan Rongkui said with a black face: "It's lucky that she did not marry Xu Lei. With Xu Shousong's character, do you think Fangfang will have a good life in his house?"
"That's true." Sun Chunyun agreed: "Yiwei is a loyal child. If it wasn't for him, it's hard to say if you could have escaped this calamity."
"Sigh, that's right!" Fan Rongkui sighed: "In a war, father and son are soldiers. At the crucial moment, we still have to rely on our own family. My biggest regret in this life is not having a son. Now Yiwei is like half a son to me. "
Sun Chunyun said softly in fear: "Lao Fan, I think we should give that sum of money to Chunfang. It's not safe to leave it with me. If someone makes a fuss about it, I'm afraid … "
Fan Rongkui said: "That's fine too. But I hope to save it under my grandson's name for him to use when he goes to university. Moreover, Yiwei owns a coal mine. He earns much more than us. Who knows, he might not even care about it. "
"It's more or less a kind gesture." Sun Chunyun said: "Oh right, after you are done, you should have a good chat with Yiwei. Tell him to be careful. If someone targets him, then it's really … We have to think about Fangfang."
"You don't have to worry about this." Fan Rongkui said: "Yiwei is much smarter than us. He is very good at playing the game. Can you think of using other people's hands for his own benefit? Let's not talk about other things. Just look at the house in Shengjing Imperial Garden. This kid bought it under someone else's name. He is very careful and has the potential to do big things. "
"That's right." Sun Chunyun said: "Yiwei's move is very good. He can attack and defend. Even if he loses his job in the future, he will still be able to run the business. You have chosen the right son-in-law. I can't help but admire your foresight. "
"What kind of person am I?" Fan Rongkui said proudly: "Let me tell you. Their family values a match, but I don't. Finding a capable man is a lifetime fortune. "
"Oh right." Sun Chunyun sat up and said: "How's the transfer?"
"You're still talking about this." Fan Rongkui said unhappily: "Do you think Minister Zhao will do something at this time? It's impossible. "
"Then what about Yiwei?"
Fan Rongkui let out a long sigh and said: "In the past, he always felt that he was capable and wanted to have a good reputation in front of others. Through this matter, I don't plan to interfere with Yiwei's career. He can do whatever he wants. I just need to be the person behind the scenes and help him secretly. I believe that Yiwei has a bright future. What do you think? "
"Definitely."
"What are you two talking about? Why are you so happy?" Fan Chunfang came out of the bathroom after taking a shower. She saw her parents were all smiles. She sat on the sofa and said with a beaming face.
"What else can we talk about? Talk about your favorite son-in-law! "Sun Chunyun poked Fan Chunfang and said with a smile.
"Hehe." Fan Chunfang's face was beautiful and her heart was sweet. She leaned into her mother's arms and said with a cheeky smile: "Who was the one who disagreed?"
"Stupid girl!"
"Haha."
"Dad, Mom, Chunfang, dinner is ready. Let's eat." Lu Yiwei put on an apron and served the last dish. He poked his head out and called out.
Fan Rongkui stood up with his hands on his thighs and said with a face full of joy: "Let's go, let's taste son-in-law's cooking."
After dinner, Fan Rongkui and Sun Chunyun left. Before leaving, Sun Chunyun specially reminded: "Fangfang, you are in a critical period now. You must not have sex. Tell Yiwei to bear with it a little longer."
"Mom!" Fan Chunfang blushed and lowered her head: "What are you talking about?"
Fan Rongkui pulled Sun Chunyun out and said: "Alright, don't mind the young people's business. They know what they are doing."
After her parents left, Fan Chunfang threw herself into Lu Yiwei's arms and kissed him passionately. The two of them pushed each other into the bedroom. Lu Yiwei had not been close to a woman for a long time. A strong desire was released. If not for Fan Chunfang's belly blocking in front of him, he would not have been able to control himself.
"Chunfang." Lu Yiwei pushed Fan Chunfang away and said: "Forget it. Be careful of the child."
Fan Chunfang did not care. She took off her clothes and said: "I've checked. It's fine now. Just don't press down on me."
Lu Yiwei said worriedly: "The child is important. I can bear with it."
"Come on." Fan Chunfang lay down and closed her eyes.
After several attempts, Lu Yiwei could not let go of the burden in his heart. In the end, Fan Chunfang solved the problem with her mouth.
Fan Chunfang nestled in Lu Yiwei's arms and suddenly cried. This caught Lu Yiwei off guard. He asked with concern: "Chunfang, what's wrong?"
Fan Chunfang raised her head and looked at Lu Yiwei with tears in her eyes: "Yiwei, you won't leave me, right?"
It was said that women were sentimental. Lu Yiwei hugged her tightly and comforted her: "What are you thinking about? Why would I leave you? Don't worry, we already have a child. I will never leave you in this lifetime."
"Really?" Fan Chunfang said doubtfully. She was afraid that Lu Yiwei would sneak away from her one day.
"Don't let your imagination run wild." Lu Yiwei said: "Since I've chosen you, I won't have any other thoughts."
Fan Chunfang wiped away her tears and said: "I've been dreaming for the past two days. I dream that you left me. I often wake up in the middle of the night. I'm really scared. I beg you, Yiwei, don't leave me. I really love you. For you, I can give up everything. "
Lu Yiwei said with some doubts: "Why did you think of this out of the blue?"
Fan Chunfang had a lot on her mind. She hid everything in her heart and was unwilling to express it. She knew a lot about Lu Yiwei's past. She knew that many women liked him. Especially when she saw the scene at East Lake Art Gallery. She was even more worried that Lu Yiwei would leave her. After all, the two of them were together under a lot of pressure. It was hard to maintain a love without any emotional foundation. She was not worried that Lu Yiwei would fool around outside. As long as he had her in his heart, he would be satisfied after drinking and going home.
"Oh right." Lu Yiwei got out of bed naked. He took out a box from his pocket and returned to the bed to pass it to Fan Chunfang: "A gift for you."
"What is this?" Fan Chunfang asked curiously.
"Open it and you will know."
Fan Chunfang opened it carefully and saw a golden pendant. She was so surprised that her mouth opened wide. She could not believe her eyes and said: "This is for me?"
Lu Yiwei smiled lightly and said: "Do you like it?"
"Of course I like it." Fan Chunfang played with it for a while and said eagerly: "Quickly put it on for me."
After Lu Yiwei put it on, Fan Chunfang sat in front of the dressing table and looked left and right. She was very happy.
This was the first gift that Lu Yiwei gave her. It directly showed that he cared about her in his heart.
"Does it look good?" Fan Chunfang swayed in front of Lu Yiwei with her big belly.
"Very beautiful!" Although Fan Chunfang was pregnant, her appearance did not change at all. Especially under the light, her delicate facial features were even more charming.
For some reason, Lu Yiwei liked women with single eyelids. Although a single eyelid woman was not as fresh and cute as a double eyelid woman, her unique temperament showed the charm of a modern woman.
Fan Chunfang could not bear to put it down. She carefully took it off and put it back in the box. Lu Yiwei was puzzled: "It looks good wearing it. Why did you put it back?"
"I will wear it after I have a child." Fan Chunfang pursed her lips and smiled: "Now the child is the priority."
Fan Chunfang returned to the bed and said with some inferiority: "Yiwei, I know I am not good enough for you. But I will love you more than other women and forgive you. I'm not as utilitarian as other women. Even if you're a pauper, I'll still stay by your side. "
"Don't be silly." Lu Yiwei looked at the ceiling and said: "Actually, my fate is not good. After a failed marriage, there was a period of time when I was very resistant and even felt inferior. I did not dare to look for a new love. Later on, I met someone. I thought I had found happiness, but she left me. "
"Are you talking about Xia Jinhe?"
"You know her too?" Lu Yiwei was shocked.
"Yes!" Fan Chunfang said: "When I was in Shiwan Village, I heard others talking about her. It is undeniable that Xia Jinhe is an excellent woman. I am not comparable to her. Are you still thinking about her? "
"Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"
"Of course the truth."
Lu Yiwei said: "Actually, I have not forgotten her. I am thinking and hoping for her to appear again. But until today, she has not appeared. "
Hearing this, Fan Chunfang felt sour in her heart. She gritted her teeth and said: "If she comes back, what will you do?"
"What will I do?" Lu Yiwei sighed and said: "I have not thought about it."
Fan Chunfang lowered her head and quietly covered herself with the quilt.
Lu Yiwei saw that Fan Chunfang was a little unhappy and quickly said: "Chunfang, since I am being honest with you, it means that I have no other thoughts. Whether she comes back or not, you are my wife."
Fan Chunfang could not sleep. In the middle of the night, she woke up Lu Yiwei who was sleeping soundly and said: "Yiwei, if she really comes back, I am willing to help you two."
