"Of course. As long as you're willing, I'll take care of it." Lu Yiwei vowed.
"Oh! Thank you so much. " Mao said excitedly, "My child's mother has been nagging me to transfer schools, but I don't know anyone there. Thank you, thank you."
Lu Yiwei and the Russian chatted for a long time. In the end, the two of them chatted in full swing. Mao seemed to have not spoken for a long time. He talked endlessly about the history of his ancestors.
Lu Yiwei saw that it was about time and asked, "Brother Mao, from our conversation just now, I can see that you're an ambitious person who is unwilling to succumb to fate. I also want to change fate in your hands and create a good family environment for the children. Can you tell me why you don't want to sign the agreement? "
Mao immediately changed back to the main topic. "Director Lu, didn't I say that I won't sign the agreement? Don't try to persuade me."
"Since we're friends, you should at least tell me the reason."
Mao thought for a while and said, "Director Lu, I'll be direct. I've always wanted to contract Dongshan to plant saplings, but Xi Gang has never agreed. "
Lu Yiwei understood and said with a smile, "What's the matter? You should have said it earlier. How many mu do you plan to contract? "
"Ten mu."
Lu Yiwei got up and called Ren Jiangang back. "Tell Jiangang directly. He's the acting village chief now."
Mao stuttered and Ren Jiangang agreed on the spot.
Mao finally got his wish. "We'll sign it right away!"
After settling these few households, the matter here was completely settled. Lu Yiwei immediately reported the situation to Bai Zongfeng. Bai Zongfeng was in disbelief. "It's settled so quickly?"
For Lu Yiwei, who had rich experience in grassroots work, it was not a problem no matter how difficult it was. When dealing with the people, as long as you had feelings, there was nothing you couldn't do. On the other hand, some leaders were arrogant and thought of themselves as leaders, putting on airs and not letting go of their statuses. The more it was like this, the more the people hated it.
Lu Yiwei said calmly, "Mayor Bai, the matter at hand has been settled for now, but the follow-up work still needs to be followed up."
"Alright, we'll talk about this later. Cai Jiayuan Village has been turned into a mess by Zhao Jialin. Hurry back and take over. "
"Mayor Bai, isn't this a little inappropriate?"
"What's wrong with that?" Bai Zongfeng went straight to the point. "I don't trust anyone right now. You have to carry the burden for me. Do you understand?"
"Alright," Lu Yiwei said helplessly.
The next day, Lu Yiwei returned to Xijiang Province with the villagers. Before they entered the high-tech district, they saw a large number of armed police vehicles speeding in the same direction. Needless to ask, they must be going to Caijiayuan Village.
Lu Yiwei did not go to the management committee. He left the aftermath to Hu Zhixiong and rushed to the Vegetable Home.
Dozens of vehicles of all kinds were parked at the entrance of Caijiayuan Village. A large number of policemen with loaded guns ran into the village. The surrounding area was cordoned off, and the atmosphere was extremely tense. Looking from afar, the entire village looked as if it had experienced an earthquake. It was a scene of desolation and shock.
When Lu Yiwei went in, he was stopped by a policeman and warned that no one was allowed to enter. At this time, he did not care about self-restraint. He pushed the policeman away and shouted, "Are you blind? Go away!" After that, he quickly walked into the demolition area.
The situation was more serious than he had imagined. Some of the villagers were standing on the ruins with excitement. Some were holding hoes, some were holding iron bars, and some were holding gasoline. They were ready to be ignited at any time. There was a circle of heavily armed policemen with batons and shields in their hands, ready to fight at any time. Lu Yiwei looked around and did not see Zhao Jialin. Instead, Guo Xiaopeng, the manager of the city investment company, stood on the side and shouted with a loudspeaker, "Last warning, if anyone dares to obstruct the law enforcement, we will not be polite. We will arrest all of you …"
When Lu Yiwei saw this, the anger in his heart soared. He quickly stepped forward and grabbed Guo Xiaopeng's loudspeaker, reprimanding him, "What are you doing?"
When Guo Xiaopeng saw Lu Yiwei, he smiled and said, "Director Lu, you're back. You've had a hard journey. Go back and rest. Leave this to me. "
Lu Yiwei glared at him, picked up the loudspeaker and shouted to the policemen, "Everyone back off!"
The policemen were stunned and did not know who to listen to.
Guo Xiaopeng panicked and quickly pulled Lu Yiwei to the side and whispered, "Director Lu, you have to use force to deal with these unruly people. Don't worry, I can take them down soon. If you suddenly withdraw the policemen now, the previous work will be in vain. "
Lu Yiwei pushed Guo Xiaopeng away and said angrily, "Is this how you treat the people? Are you suppressing them? What did they do? "
Guo Xiaopeng looked at the angry Lu Yiwei and said, "Director Lu, this is arranged by Secretary Zhao. If something goes wrong, can you bear the responsibility?"
"Can you bear the responsibility if someone dies?"
Guo Xiaopeng did not say anything. Lu Yiwei turned to a policeman and said, "Where's your leader?"
Due to the dismissal of the Hi-Tech Zone's Public Security Bureau's Chief, the position had been vacant. At this time, a man came up and said, "Director Lu, I'm the Political Commissar of the Public Security Bureau, Yao Dinglong."
Lu Yiwei looked at Yao Dinglong and ordered, "Political Commissar Yao, withdraw your men immediately."
"This … I'm afraid this is inappropriate."
Lu Yiwei frowned and said coldly, "My words don't work, right?"
"This …"
When Yao Dinglong was in a dilemma, Guo Xiaopeng came up and said coldly, "No one can withdraw without Secretary Zhao's order!"
Guo Xiaopeng's words completely angered the crowd. The villager with the molotov cocktail lit up the tattered jacket in his hand and threw the molotov cocktail in front of the policemen. "Bang!" A ball of flame quickly jumped up, scaring the policemen to avoid it.
"You guys are rebelling. Go!" Guo Xiaopeng placed his hands on his waist and ordered, disregarding Lu Yiwei's feelings.
"Let's see who dares!" Lu Yiwei stood in front of the policemen and roared, "If anyone dares to take a step forward, I'll dismiss them on the spot. Try and move!"
The policemen stood there, not daring to move forward. Guo Xiaopeng was anxious. He jumped up and said, "Secretary Zhao's words don't work? Hurry up and arrest those troublemakers!"
At this time, Zhao Jialin rushed over. He went up to Lu Yiwei and said, "Yiwei, what are you doing?!"
Lu Yiwei said, "Secretary Zhao, what did they do? Why are you treating them like this? You will only intensify the conflict! "
"Lu Yiwei!" Zhao Jialin said angrily, "You don't need to intervene here. You must be tired from Hainan. Go back and rest." After that, he said to Yao Dinglong, "Arrest them!"
The policemen rushed up with batons and quickly subdued the defenseless crowd.
Lu Yiwei stood there in a daze, his lips trembling.
Zhao Jialin was very satisfied with the policemen's fighting power. He turned to Lu Yiwei and said, "Yiwei, what do you mean by intensifying the conflict? They have already affected the stability of society. Can we just watch them do whatever they want? I know you are soft-hearted, but you should be tough when you need to be, especially in times of emergency. Subdue them. I want to see who else dares to cause trouble! "After that, he swaggered away.
The policemen tied up the troublemakers and pushed them into the police cars. They turned on the alarm and left. The ear-piercing siren reverberated in the sky above the Cai Family's home. It was so piercing. In the distance, a large number of villagers watched this scene. Their eyes were filled with fear, anger, and helplessness.
Lu Yiwei was full of guilt for not stopping Zhao Jialin in time. He had a feeling that this matter would not end here. There was more to come.
As expected, about 300 to 400 people besieged the management committee that afternoon. The situation was out of control.
At this critical moment, Zhao Jialin had gone into hiding and left this mess to Lu Yiwei to clean up. This was not the first time people besieged a government building. But this time, the situation was not optimistic. No matter how they tried to persuade them, it was useless.
Lu Yiwei asked Ren Jiangang to persuade them in front and quickly report to Bai Zongfeng. What he did not expect was that the City Government was also besieged.
After Bai Zongfeng knew the reason, he was furious and cursed Zhao Jialin for being a bastard. He immediately called the City's Public Security Bureau Chief to release the hostages. Only then did the storm settle down.
However, this was just the beginning. There was still a lot of work to be done. The most pressing issue was what to do with the villagers who had not been relocated. Should they continue with the expropriation or put it aside? Not only the high-tech district, but also the city and even the province were under a lot of pressure.
Looking back on the whole incident, all the leaders in the province were speechless. Even the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Lin Haifeng, did not show up. He pushed the responsibility to Bai Zongfeng and Lu Yiwei. Everyone was well aware of the reason for this.
What was even more ridiculous was that this was supposed to be a corporate action, but the person in charge of the company did not show up. Instead, it was the management committee who cleaned up the mess.
In addition, all the major media in the province chose to stay silent. There was an evening newspaper that came to interview, but they left in a hurry after a few minutes. No one dared to touch such sensitive news.
Through this incident, Lu Yiwei was extremely disappointed with the response of the leaders at all levels. Why? Why did they not care about the interests of the people? Why did they allow the relevant personnel to do whatever they wanted? Why did they not investigate and punish the relevant personnel? A series of questions hit his heart, but he did not have any strength to resist. He could only try his best to make a weak voice for the people, but it did not cause any ripples. He only sighed.
Lu Yiwei thought of asking Su Meng to report this incident, but he did not take this step. This water was too deep, so deep that the bottom could not be seen. He clearly knew the truth of the matter, but he couldn't say it out loud. In the eyes of others, he was different. Because he stood on the side of the masses, it was really sad.
What he did not expect was that a few days later, a document was issued from the city: Due to the impact of the demolition of Caijiayuan, extreme events occurred, causing a negative impact on the society. The management committee had an unshirkable responsibility for this incident. They did not supervise well and did not have prior judgment. There were different degrees of dereliction of duty. After the discussion of the Municipal Party Committee and the municipal government, they decided to give Lu Yiwei a warning within the party and an administrative talk.
