The next morning, Lu Yiwei arrived at the Jiangdong Municipal Party Committee Compound.
The Municipal Party Committee Compound was located in the Guwei District, the old district of Jiangdong, where 90% of the city's government agencies were located. As mentioned earlier, Jiangdong had five districts and three counties. Guwei District and Zhongyang District were the old districts, while Qiyang District, Development Zone, and Hi-Tech District were the new districts. Over the years, all the leaders had focused on the development of the new districts, while the old districts had stagnated and were in ruins.
"Yiwei!" As soon as Lu Yiwei parked his car in the compound, he heard someone calling him. He looked up and saw Shi Xiaoman rushing towards him.
Lu Yiwei stared at Shi Xiaoman, stunned. Oh my god! Was this still the same old-fashioned Shi Xiaoman from before? She had cut her hair short and was wearing a short white T-shirt and a black skirt. She looked very elegant in her professional attire. Her figure was slimmer than before, and her skin had become fairer. She had also learned to put on makeup. She looked like a completely different person.
Shi Xiaoman was a little embarrassed to see Lu Yiwei looking at her like that. She lowered her head and ran her fingers through her hair. She joked, "Hey, hey, hey. Watch your image."
Lu Yiwei hurriedly looked away and smiled. "Xiaoman, it's been a few years since we last saw each other. I'm impressed. Following Secretary Ma is really different. You've even learned to put on makeup. Haha. "
"Are you kidding me? So, I didn't know how to dress up before?" Shi Xiaoman asked deliberately.
Lu Yiwei quickly said, "That's not what I meant."
"Then what do you mean?"
Lu Yiwei's clever mouth suddenly stopped working. He didn't know what to say next.
"Alright, stop joking." Shi Xiaoman smiled brightly. "Are you here to report?"
"Yes."
"You should come in the afternoon."
"Why?"
Shi Xiaoman whispered, "There's a committee meeting this morning. I think it'll be a long time."
"Oh."
Shi Xiaoman moved closer and said: "The new administrative center is completed, and Mayor Bai suggested moving it over. But Secretary Yu seems to be unwilling because this matter has caused a huge commotion."
Hearing such explosive news as soon as he arrived, Lu Yiwei asked, "Why?"
Shi Xiaoman shook her head and said: "I don't know. I just arrived. I heard that the Fengshui of the new administrative center is not good, and Secretary Yu is reluctant to go there."
"Secretary Yu believes in this?" Lu Yiwei couldn't believe it.
"Not sure."
Lu Yiwei did not pursue the matter. "What about you? Are you in the City Government Office?"
"Yes." Shi Xiaoman nodded and said, "Currently, I'm the director of the General Office's Information Center. You also know that it's just a title. Everything I do is to serve Mayor Ma."
"Oh, what is Mayor Ma in charge of?"
"He's mainly in charge of the industry." Shi Xiaoman said proudly, "Haha, you will be under Mayor Ma's control in the future. Don't offend me."
"Aiyo, great aunt." Lu Yiwei joked, "How would I dare to offend you?"
"Your treat? Then what are you waiting for?"
"Sure, I'll definitely invite him."
As they were chatting, Ma Feifei walked out of the building. Shi Xiaoman quickly said, "Mayor Ma has to go to the development zone for research today. Let's talk another day." After that, she hurried over.
Looking at Shi Xiaoman's back, Lu Yiwei was filled with emotions. He saw her open the back door of the car and let Ma Feifei in. Then, she quickly got into the passenger seat, and the Audi slowly moved forward.
Since the morning was not suitable, he could only wait until the afternoon. When Lu Yiwei was about to get in the car, the Audi stopped in front of him.
Ma Feifei got out of the car and smiled elegantly. She reached out her hand and said, "Yiwei, I didn't expect it to be you. We meet again."
Lu Yiwei shook her hand and said humbly, "Secretary Ma, no, Mayor Ma, I hope you can take care of me in the future."
Ma Feifei nodded slightly and said, "We're both from Nanyang County. Moreover, we've worked well together in the past. When you officially start work, I will visit you."
"Thank you very much, Mayor Ma."
"You're welcome." Ma Feifei did not say much and said, "That's all for now. I still have something to do. If you need anything, you can come and find me anytime. If you really can't do it, you can also look for Xiaoman."
Back in the car, Lu Yiwei was secretly happy. It just so happened that an old acquaintance was in charge of him. It would be easier for him to carry out his work in the future.
Lu Yiwei was in a good mood. He did not have a good place to go, so he called Li Ermao to go to the new house.
The new house was located in Qiyang District. It was a newly developed building with 32 floors. Lu Yiwei chose the 19th floor. The house was 160 square meters, with three bedrooms, two living rooms, and two bathrooms. It was enough for a family of three.
Lu Yiwei did not pay the full price for the house. He only paid the down payment and used the rest of the capital as a loan. This was to prevent people from using it against him like the previous house. Sigh! After entering the political world, everything that was normal was not normal anymore. He had to be careful.
The renovation of the house was nearing completion. It was estimated that it would be completed in two days. Lu Yiwei did not skimp on the renovation at all. Basically, he used the best materials for everything. The renovation cost was much higher than the price of the house.
The designer was from the capital, and the renovation style was indeed different. The overall color scheme was a combination of black, white, and gray. It looked very simple and elegant. Lu Yiwei was quite satisfied. However, he was more concerned about his personal space. The study was necessary. For one, it was convenient for him to talk with the guests. For another, he could relax and think about some things. It was his personal space.
As Lu Yiwei was chatting with the designer, the phone in his pocket rang. He saw that it was Pan Chengjun and quickly picked it up. Knowing that he had arrived in Jiangdong, he was very excited and hurried downstairs to the airport to welcome him.
On the way, Lu Yiwei called Niu Fuyong again to inform him of Pan Chengjun's arrival. They agreed to have lunch together at noon.
Lu Yiwei had originally planned to let Pan Chengjun work at Dezhi Road and Bridge Company. However, Niu Fuyong had bought the coal mine, so he had to change his mind. It was better to let him continue to work in the coal mine. However, this time, Pan Chengjun did not come alone. He brought three people with him.
Niu Fuyong had already booked a hotel. Lu Yiwei brought them to the Donghu International Hotel.
It had been a few days since they last saw each other. Pan Chengjun was able to return to Xijiang Province this time largely because of Lu Yiwei. For him, it did not matter how much money he earned. What he cared about was the friendship.
Niu Fuyong had yet to arrive, so Pan Chengjun introduced the three brothers beside him and said, "Yiwei, these three are the capable subordinates of my shoe factory. After the factory was sold, they didn't want to work anymore and wanted to come with me. You see … "
Lu Yiwei said straightforwardly, "It's no big deal. We're all brothers. I'll talk to Fuyong when he comes later. Now is the time to hire people. I believe you, Old Pan, will not be wrong. "
Pan Chengjun pointed to one of them and emphasized, "Yiwei, this is Pan Zhongkai, a distant cousin of mine. He has been working at the construction site and is quite familiar with all aspects of the project."
"That's great." Lu Yiwei said happily, "Tong Huan is the only one in charge of the Road and Bridge Company now. Let him go over to help." Then, he took out his phone and called Tong Huan, asking her to come over for dinner.
Half an hour later, Tong Huan arrived first.
Tong Huan had been running back and forth at the construction site during this period. Her skin had become much darker, but it was healthier than before. In addition, she was much more cheerful than before. She was a very career-minded woman.
Tong Huan and Lu Yiwei had not seen each other for a long time. They usually communicated over the phone. In addition, Tong Huan's project was getting bigger and bigger. She didn't have time to think about other things. She didn't even have time to change her clothes when she came back from the construction site.
Dezhi Road and Bridge Company was thriving under Tong Huan's management. First, she borrowed 20 million yuan from the bank and spent a lot of money to win the bid for the Dongping Highway project. This project had not been completed yet. Then, she took over the Donghu Bridge project, which were both large-scale projects. Especially the Donghu Bridge project, which had an investment of 200 million yuan. The economic benefits of these two projects were no less than that of the coal mine.
Tong Huan was very good at handling affairs. She had never caused any trouble for Lu Yiwei. All the procedures were done by herself. There were not many women in the engineering industry. Plus, she was beautiful, so she had a natural advantage.
Tong Huan didn't cause him any trouble, and Lu Yiwei rarely asked about it. It wasn't that he didn't care, but he trusted Tong Huan very much. Moreover, his identity determined that he couldn't get too close to the company to avoid unnecessary trouble.
After Lu Yiwei introduced them, Tong Huan gracefully shook hands with everyone and said, "You are Yiwei's good brothers, and also my good brothers. From now on, we are a family."
Pan Chengjun knew about the relationship between Tong Huan and Lu Yiwei. He was evasive, but he still couldn't help sneaking a few glances at her. He was deeply impressed by her beauty. This small detail was coincidentally captured by Lu Yiwei.
Niu Fuyong swaggered over. He was wearing a maroon vest, loose pants, and a pair of flip-flops. He was so casual that people who didn't know him would think that he was a migrant worker from the construction team. Seeing Niu Fuyong's appearance, Tong Huan couldn't help but snicker.
Niu Fuyong threw the Mercedes-Benz car key on the table and sat down angrily. "Motherf * cker, a bunch of snobs. Who do they think they are?"
"What's wrong?"
Niu Fuyong said angrily. "When I came up just now, the waiter stopped me at the door and didn't let me in. He even said that this is a high-class hotel. High-class my ass. Do you believe that I won't buy this hotel?"
"Haha …" Niu Fuyong's encounter amused everyone. Lu Yiwei joked. "With your attire, it would be strange if they didn't stop you. After all, you are a big boss. You can't be too careless with your attire."
"It's such a hot day. I will feel hot no matter what I wear." Niu Fuyong said. "Moreover, you all wear suits and leather shoes all day long. Don't you feel uncomfortable? Look at how comfortable I am. Once I take off my shoes, I can lie down wherever I want. "As he said that, he took off his slippers and stepped on the chair, greedily enjoying the cool air conditioning.
Tong Huan had met many people, but it was rare to see someone as straightforward as Niu Fuyong. He said jokingly, "I say, Boss Niu, I am here. You should at least watch your image. It's too unsightly."
