After a few more minutes of silence, no one spoke. Lu Yiwei had to stop the meeting and said, "Maybe you're not familiar with me yet. It doesn't matter, we'll get to know each other better. As for the compensation for the land requisition, please rest assured that I will get to the bottom of it and give everyone a clear explanation. If there's nothing else, let's end the meeting. If anyone has any thoughts or questions, feel free to find me. "
The villagers chose to remain silent under Xi Gang's authority. They all got up and walked out the door. The old man sitting next to him slowly stood up, shook his head helplessly, and walked out the door slowly. Lu Yiwei saw him off and quickly helped him to the door. The old man suddenly stopped and turned around. "Director Lu, can I have a word with you?"
"Of course," Lu Yiwei said. "How about this, let's go to my office."
At this time, Xi Gang came up and said to the old man, "Uncle Shuanggen, you should go home quickly. Director Lu's time is precious, and he doesn't want to listen to your nonsense. If there's anything, just tell me. I'll pass the message for you. "
The old man looked up at Xi Gang helplessly, then walked to the stairs without looking back. It was obvious how afraid the villagers were of Xi Gang.
Lu Yiwei did not stop him. Some things could not be solved in a day or two. He needed time and patience. The deeper the water, the more calm he had to be.
After the villagers left, Xi Gang said with a smile, "Director Lu, look at what happened. It's all my fault. To express my apology, I'll treat you to a drink tonight. "
Lu Yiwei waved his hand. "Forget it. I have other things to do tonight. Maybe another day."
Just as Lu Yiwei was about to leave, Xi Gang stepped forward and said, "Director Lu, I heard that you and Black Circle were university classmates?"
Lu Yiwei stopped and turned around. "Do you know him?"
"Not just acquaintances. We're best friends." Xi Gang said proudly, "We've been friends for seven or eight years. Black Circle is having dinner together tonight. Why don't you go and support him?"
It was not surprising that Black Circle was friends with this kind of person. He had connections with both sides of the law and was very popular in Jiangdong City. There was nothing that he could not handle. Lu Yiwei hesitated for a moment before saying, "I'll see how it goes. I'll head over once I'm done with my business."
"Alright! I'll give you a call then. "
After Xi Gang left, Lu Yiwei returned to his office and sat down. His phone vibrated violently. When he took it out, his head was about to explode. It was Fang Qing's again. What was this woman trying to do? She kept asking questions. However, considering that she was going to invest in the high-tech zone and that it was related to Qiu Yuanhang, he had no choice but to accept the call.
"Hey, Senior, why didn't you reply to my message?"
Lu Yiwei said, "I was in a meeting just now. I didn't hear it."
"Oh." Fang Qing said, "I want to invite you to dinner tonight to discuss the investment."
Lu Yiwei said politely, "There's no need for dinner. Didn't we just have lunch together? How about this? Why don't you come to the management committee tomorrow morning? Secretary Zhao is also there. We can discuss it together."
Seeing Lu Yiwei's refusal, Fang Qing did not give up. She continued, "Senior, do you want to know why you are in the high-tech zone? In addition, I want to know the provincial government's attitude towards the high-tech zone and its future development. "
Lu Yiwei was stunned. The person who knew such core secrets must be someone close to the leader. Who was Fang Qing? After thinking about it again and again, he said, "Mr. Fang, I have a guest tonight. How about another day?"
Hearing Lu Yiwei's compromise, Fang Qing secretly chuckled and said, "All right. Can we meet tomorrow night?"
"All right."
"Great. See you tomorrow night."
Lu Yiwei hung up the phone and threw it on the table. He took off his glasses and pinched the bridge of his nose with his fingers. He could not calm down. The water in the high-tech zone was too deep to see the bottom. He was not facing one opponent, but a huge group. There were two ways to go in front of him. One was to turn a blind eye, conspire with them, whitewash peace, and divide the interests of the people. The other was to dig out the vermin of the management committee one by one and return the interests that belonged to the people. The former was obviously not his character, and there was no turning back as long as he took the latter.
After a fierce inner struggle, he decided to choose the latter. Especially when he saw the desire in the eyes of the villagers of Cajiayuan, he could not go against his conscience and conspire with them. He must come up with an iron fist to deter these people.
Thinking of this, Lu Yiwei suddenly sat up, picked up the phone and called Li Ermao: "Come up."
Lu Yiwei did not trust Xiao Du at all. This person was not reliable. After Li Ermao came up, he said, "Ermao, go find Ren Jiangang now and take him to the teahouse near my community. I have something to talk to him. Remember, don't let anyone find out. "
"Okay, I'll go right away." Li Ermao went out the door and turned back to ask, "Do you want me to send you first?"
"No need. I'll get a car to send me back."
After Li Ermao left, Lu Yiwei dawdled for a long time and went downstairs to the office. Everyone in the office immediately stood up and greeted him.
Lu Yiwei said with a smile. "Everyone, go ahead. I'm fine. Xiao Li, give me a ride. "
"Okay!" The driver, Xiao Li, ran out of the office and waited for Lu Yiwei. For him, it was an honor to drive for a leader.
Lu Yiwei got into the car and received a call from Li Ermao. After knowing that Ren Jiangang had been picked up, he closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.
When Lu Yiwei came to the neighborhood, he said to Xiao Li. "Just drop me here."
After getting out of the car, Lu Yiwei walked into the teahouse after Xiao Li left. After exchanging eye contact with Li Ermao, he entered the private room.
Ren Jiangang was more relaxed when they met again. "Director Lu, what's the matter?"
Lu Yiwei did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point. "Jiangang, you said that there's something wrong with Xi Gang. Can you show me the evidence?"
"Yes!" Ren Jiangang replied confidently. "My second uncle is the Deputy Director of the Village Committee, and he knows Xi Gang's misdeeds like the back of his hand."
"Oh?" Lu Yiwei was puzzled. "Then, is your second uncle willing to provide evidence?"
Ren Jiangang replied angrily. "My second uncle used to be the Village Committee Director, but Xi Gang used all sorts of means to usurp his position. My second uncle hates Xi Gang to the core, but the villagers elected him, and he can't refuse."
"Oh." Lu Yiwei said. "How about this. Write down the information your second uncle has and pass it to me secretly."
Hearing this, Ren Jiangang became excited and said, "Director Lu, you …"
Lu Yiwei interrupted. "There are some things that only you and I know. We must keep it a secret before it matures. Let me ask you again. If you want to arrest Xi Gang, how confident are you? Or do you have the support of the villagers? "
Ren Jiangang replied. "The villagers of Caichuan Village have been waiting for him to be arrested, and I dare say at least 90% of them support it. As for how confident I am, I can't say. After all, he has a good relationship with the higher-ups, especially with Zhao Jialin. "
"Oh, you don't have to worry about that. Then the remaining 10% are the villagers who support him? "
"It's not that they support him, but they are the people who benefit from him. These people are greedy for money, and they will make a lot of money by following him."
Lu Yiwei calculated in his heart. "Jiangang, if I ask you to stand up against Xi Gang, do you dare to do it?"
"What?" Ren Jiangang quickly waved his hand. "Director Lu, don't joke with me. If I really do that, my whole family will not have a good life among the villagers. No, no, I don't dare to do it."
"What if I support you from behind?"
Ren Jiangang was stunned for a long time. "Director Lu, maybe you don't know Xi Gang. He is a ruthless person, and his words are the law in the village. You saw what happened in the afternoon. As long as he is around, no one dares to say a word. If you really want to go against him, not many people will dare to stand up. "
Lu Yiwei did not expect the villagers to be so afraid of Xi Gang. "Then do you want to get your land expropriation money back?"
"Of course I want to, but …"
"Okay." Lu Yiwei felt that there was no need to talk about it anymore. "Bring me the evidence first. As for what to do next, I will tell you when the time comes."
"Okay, I will collect the relevant evidence when I go back."
Lu Yiwei emphasized, "I don't want a third person to know about our conversation. If Xi Gang steps down, I think you are suitable to take over his position. "
Hearing this, Ren Jiangang stood up excitedly and said, "Director Lu, don't worry. I know what to do."
"Well, don't contact me directly in the future. If there is anything, just look for Ermao. It's the same as what he said."
Coming out of the teahouse, Lu Yiwei was not sure. Maybe Ren Jiangang would go back and tell the others. It was entirely possible. Therefore, there was no doubt that this was a gamble. Whether he could win or not depended on what Ren Jiangang did.
It was almost lunchtime, but Lu Yiwei did not go home. Instead, he hid in the car and chatted with Li Ermao.
Ermao reported, "Director Lu, the enrollment of Xiao Yu and Xiao Chu has been settled. They will report to school next week. The total cost is 310,000 yuan. "
"Oh." Lu Yiwei said, "Did Secretary Zhang say anything?"
"Nothing. He said he would come back next week to send Xiao Chu to school."
"Okay." Lu Yiwei said, "After these things are done, I will give you an important task. Investigate Xi Gang's background as soon as possible. I need it urgently. In addition, you have to keep an eye on Ren Jiangang. If there is any movement, let me know as soon as possible. "
"Okay."
After talking about this, Li Ermao said carefully, "Director Lu, I want to take a few days off next week. My father is hospitalized."
Hearing that Old Han was hospitalized, Lu Yiwei was very surprised. He sat up and said, "When did it happen? Is it serious? "
Li Ermao said gloomily, "It happened two days ago. There is nothing serious. The doctor suggested that he come to the provincial capital for a check-up."
"Then pick him up. Take him directly to the Provincial People's Hospital. Don't worry about the money. I will pay for all the expenses."
Hearing this, Li Ermao was touched. "Thank you …"
"Don't mention it. I have worked with your father for many years. Pick him up. I want to see him too. If he is sick, we will pay for it. Don't worry about it. "
"Okay." Li Ermao nodded heavily.
