"Director Lu, the villagers' representatives have been selected. They are waiting in the conference room."
Lu Yiwei fiddled with his hair and stood up. He did not know if he was too tired or his blood pressure was too high, but he felt dizzy the moment he stood up. If not for Ren Jiangang's support, he would have fallen to the ground.
"Director Lu, what's wrong?" Ren Jiangang asked anxiously.
Lu Yiwei calmed himself down and waved his hand. "I'm fine. Let's go."
When they entered the conference room, all the villagers' representatives were agitated. They wanted to eat Lu Yiwei alive. Before they could sit down, the representatives surrounded them and pointed at them. "Director Lu, return our houses. If the government doesn't care, we will report to the province. If the province doesn't care, we will report to the central government …"
Regardless of the representatives' accusations, Lu Yiwei listened patiently. Ren Jiangang could not stand it anymore. He shouted. "Can't you have some rules? Director Lu came here as soon as he got off the plane. He is here to solve the problem for everyone. What are you arguing about? Sit down! "
Ren Jiangang's words were still effective. The representatives all shut their mouths and sat down angrily to smoke.
Lu Yiwei took out his phone and called Li Ermao. "Go and buy two cartons of cigarettes." He hung up the phone and scanned the area. He stopped at an older man. He smiled. "You are Li Ming, right?"
Li Ming raised his head in panic. "I am. Director Lu, do you know me?"
Lu Yiwei said. "Didn't we have a discussion when you came to the city government to petition? I remember you."
The worry on Li Ming's face faded away. He said in panic. "Director Lu, I know you are a good official. You have to help us."
Lu Yiwei nodded. "Fellow villagers, I am here to solve the problem for everyone. Don't panic. Don't be agitated. I will definitely solve everyone's demands. I am the son of a farmer. My heart is always thinking about everyone. I will firmly stand on your side to fight for more benefits for everyone. "
His words were like a needle of reassurance, giving the villagers a glimmer of hope. Li Ming said agitatedly, "I knew Director Lu wouldn't just sit back and watch. That f * cking developer and Xi Gang are too evil. They tricked us to this damn place and pushed us home. Now we can't go back home, and we don't know the situation at home. We are burning with anxiety."
"Yes, Director Lu, you have to help us …" The representatives all chimed in.
At this time, Li Ermao came up with two cartons of cigarettes. Lu Yiwei raised his head and signaled for him to distribute them. Cigarettes were definitely the best tool to communicate with the villagers. A cigarette could quickly close the relationship and let the villagers who were on tenterhooks lower their vigilance.
After the cigarettes were distributed, Lu Yiwei said, "Before I listen to everyone's opinions, I will first explain the development plan of our district. Relocating and transforming the entire Caojiayuan Village was the trend of the situation and the necessity of history. Without a piece of land in their hands, how would they survive? I believe everyone is worried about this as well. I'm also thinking about it. "
"Cai Jiayuan is only close to Qiyang District Industrial Park, so it is inevitable that it will be demolished and expropriated. It's a good thing that there are developers coming here to develop. If hospitals, schools, supermarkets and other public welfare projects are built here in the future, what's the difference between us and living in the city? Now, we have to drive for half an hour to the city to see a doctor, and the problem of our children's schooling has not been solved. If we have these, do we still have to worry about these things? "
"I think it's good to move to Ma Tou Town. Because in two years, Ma Tou Town will be the focus of the development of the high-tech zone. In the future, there will be dozens of enterprises in the town. At that time, everyone will not have to worry about earning money. I promise everyone here, if you can't fulfill your promise in two years, feel free to look for me. I will give you money to support you. "
"It's true that the developer's methods are indeed inappropriate. The city and the management committee have attached great importance to this matter. They have already ordered people to carry out a comprehensive investigation on this matter and will definitely hold the relevant personnel accountable. Just now, I have already dismissed Xi Gang as the village committee director and temporarily appointed Ren Jiangang as the village committee director. Next, whoever is involved in this incident, as long as they are found, they will be dealt with without mercy. "
Lu Yiwei took a breath and continued, "Since it's like this, it's impossible to restore the original appearance. So, everyone doesn't need to be entangled in this issue. What everyone needs to do is to fight for more benefits and minimize the losses. Next, everyone speak one by one. Don't mention the repeated questions to save time for others. "
After saying these words, Lu Yiwei himself felt disgusted. The entire relocation of the Caichun was clearly the selfish desire of some people, but he raised it to the level of the big picture to deceive the people. But for the big picture, he had to say this. Everything should be stabilized first.
Lu Yiwei's tone was gentle and did not put on airs, which was easy for the people to accept. The villagers' emotions were relatively stable. Li Ming took the lead and said, "Director Lu, I know the management committee is doing this for the good of the village, but it's really not right to do this. My house was newly built last year, and the third floor is still being renovated for my son's wife next year. Now, it's gone just like that. I invested at least 100,000 yuan, and the developer only gave me 50,000 yuan. Then who am I going to ask for the remaining 50,000 yuan? Am I just going to be cheated by them? "
After Li Ming Gang finished speaking, Ren Jiangang stood up and said, "Uncle Li Ming, don't be too ruthless. Your house was renovated by my brother-in-law, and it only cost less than 30,000 yuan. How did it suddenly rise to 100,000 yuan? Let's tell the truth in front of Director Lu. If you lie, how can Director Lu solve it? "
Li Ming Jian was exposed. His face and neck were red. He straightened his neck and said, "30,000 yuan is just the wages. What about the materials and the electrical appliances and furniture? Isn't that money?"
Lu Yiwei interrupted, "Alright, I understand your situation. Let the next person speak."
The man next to him said, "Director Lu, my family's situation is similar to Li Ming's, but I have 60,000 yuan in cash at home, which is also for my son's wife. Now that the house is gone, can't I get the money back? "
Lu Yiwei quickly recorded it in his notebook, then pointed to the next person and said, "You speak."
Before the woman opened her mouth, she slammed the table and wailed. Her eyes were filled with tears, and her voice was choked with sobs. Ren Jiangang went forward to stop her, but Lu Yiwei pressed him down. When she was done crying, she said with a sob, "Director Lu, my house was repaired with borrowed money. I still owe 70,000 to 80,000 yuan. Now that the house is gone, how can I pay it back? Also, my mother's coffin is still at home. My mother might pass away one day. What should I do? Also, I have a litter of pigs that are about to be released. I was hoping to sell them before the new year, sob sob … "
Ren Jiangang could not help but say, "Li Xiulan, I asked you to give your opinion. Why did you bring up the coffin? How much is that worth? Pick the main point. Next! "
An old man stood up shakily. Lu Yiwei hurriedly said, "Uncle, don't get up. Just sit and talk."
The old man sat down and said, "Director Lu, my family is poor, and the house is not worth much. It was built after the founding of the People's Republic. So what if it was demolished? But there was a set of yellow pear wood furniture hidden at home. Two years ago, someone offered 100,000 yuan to buy it, but I could not bear to sell it. Now, it is completely gone. Money is a worldly possession. They can choose not to compensate me, but my wife's belongings are still treasured at home. My wife has been gone for more than 30 years, and the only thing she left behind is a photograph. I cannot live without her. I hope that I can go back and get it. "
Lu Yiwei felt a little sad when he heard that. The villagers were raising practical problems, regardless of whether they were true or false. In the eyes of the developer, they were all junk, but in the eyes of the commoners, they were treasures. If they were to settle the problem one by one, it would definitely not satisfy every family's wishes. But if they did not resolve the knot in their hearts, this matter would not be resolved.
After the villagers finished speaking, Lu Yiwei said, "I know everyone's situation. I am very sad and heartbroken. Put yourself in my shoes. If my house was demolished, I would feel the same as everyone else. But each family's situation is different. It is not practical to settle it one-on-one, but I will negotiate with the developer and increase the compensation for everyone. If they do not agree, I will be the first to disagree! "
Lu Yiwei's words were affirmed by the villagers, and they saw hope. The concept of small farmers was deeply rooted in the village for a long time. Each of them guarded their own land, and as long as they satisfied their own wishes, they did not care about anything else. Therefore, it was quite difficult to work in the village. Lu Yiwei had worked at the grassroots for many years, but he was still helpless when it came to dealing with problems.
After the villagers calmed down a little, Lu Yiwei said, "Now, I need everyone to do me a favor. Go back to your rooms and wait patiently. If there is any news, I will get Jianggang to inform everyone, okay?"
Just as he walked out of the meeting room, Lu Yiwei received a call from Hu Zhixiong. Hu Zhixiong said anxiously, "Director Lu, an old lady might not be able to make it. What do you think we should do?"
"Is it serious?" Lu Yiwei had a premonition that something similar would happen, so he asked calmly.
"Yes." Hu Zhixiong said, "The doctor has issued a notice of critical illness and asked the family to quickly arrange the funeral."
"What do the family members think?"
"According to the local custom, they don't want her to be cremated, but to be transported back to the village for a grand burial."
"Okay!" Lu Yiwei made a prompt decision and said, "You rent a car immediately. No matter how much it costs, you must get her back. All the expenses will be paid by the management committee."
"Okay, I will go right away."
"Wait!" Lu Yiwei said again, "You don't have to worry about this matter. I will let Ermao handle it. You can't go. You have to stay with me to deal with the matter at hand. "
