Lu Yiwei stood in front of the window and stared at the bleak scenery outside.
In a few days, it would be the twelfth lunar month, which meant that another year was about to end. While sighing about the passage of time, he was more concerned about how the villagers of Caijiayuan would celebrate the New Year.
Halfway through the matter, the attitude of the higher-ups was unclear. Jiangfang Group, which was responsible for the demolition, never showed up. This matter seemed to be shelved indefinitely.
Since he broke up with Lin Haifeng, Lu Yiwei suddenly realized that he could no longer be led by the nose by others. In the past, he was habitually obedient and unswervingly carried out the instructions of the leaders. The problems exposed by the incident of Caijiayuan made him disappointed. Who really cared about the vulnerable groups? They were all crazy about their own interests. When there was a problem, they all avoided it and tried their best to cover it up. It was related to the interests of thousands of people. Should he just let them do whatever they wanted?
He couldn't. Especially when he knew that Zhao Jialin had taken 30,000 yuan from the city investment company as compensation to the relocated households, he was extremely angry. He didn't care about the money. What he couldn't figure out was why the responsibility that should have been borne by Jiangfang Group was transferred to the management committee.
The moment he decided to get rid of Guo Xiaopeng, he had already left the interests tied to him behind. Rather than relying on the feet of others and struggling at death's door, it was better to stand out and do something spectacular.
Before making this decision, Lu Yiwei didn't discuss it with Zhang Zhiyuan. He didn't want to make things difficult for him. Instead, he found Gao Qianyong. Gao Qianyong was a sentimental person. He had one thing in common with Lu Yiwei. They both hated people who bullied the weak. What Zhao Jialin had done was obvious, and he did not hesitate to support it.
Then Lu Yiwei found Yan Yuhui. Yan Yuhui was very excited after hearing it. He had wanted to do it for a long time, but he couldn't find a suitable opportunity. Now that the opportunity had come, how could he miss it? He patted his chest and promised, deciding to cooperate with Lu Yiwei to perform this big show. At the same time, he secretly worked with other members of the team, preparing to launch a collective attack.
From the effect of the team meeting, it was very successful. Getting rid of Guo Xiaopeng was only the first step. The next step was to thoroughly investigate it until the problem was found.
Completely tearing up with Zhao Jialin was like awakening Lu Yiwei's manly courage. He decided to confront it head-on. As for the consequences, he did not think too much about it.
Yan Yuhui knocked on the door and saw Lu Yiwei's cold expression. He quietly closed the door and whispered, "Director Lu, what should we do next? I'll listen to your arrangements."
Lu Yiwei turned around and sat on his desk. "What do you think we should do?"
Yan Yuhui rolled his eyes and said, "At this point, we can't be softhearted. If we want to do something, we have to be ruthless. If nothing goes wrong, Zhao Jialin will soon call for reinforcements and pressure you. In this gap, attacking was the best defense. If we let Guo Xiaopeng go, it will be too late. "
Lu Yiwei didn't say anything. He smoked and thought quickly.
Yan Yuhui continued, "Director Lu, you don't have to worry about the rest. As long as you agree, I'll handle everything."
Lu Yiwei had tasted Yan Yuhui's methods before. They were also despicable methods that could not be considered elegant. But Yan Yuhui was right about one thing. Attacking was the best defense. With Zhao Jialin's character, he would definitely not let this matter go. Not to mention that it was his brother-in-law's death. It was unclear what kind of tricks the other party would come up with.
Lu Yiwei extinguished his cigarette and said, "Tell me your thoughts."
Yan Yuhui took out a letter from his pocket and placed it on the table. "Director Lu, this is a detailed record of Zhao Jialin, Liang Guodong, and Guo Xiaopeng's filthy deeds over the years. Moreover, everything is documented. As long as you agree, I'll immediately submit it to the Provincial Party Committee and the Commission for Discipline Inspection. I've already contacted the secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, Chen Guoliang. I guarantee that it will be placed on Secretary Chen's desk. "
Lu Yiwei browsed through it and threw it to Yan Yuhui. "I don't know anything."
Hearing this attitude, Yan Yuhui revealed a sly smile. "Yes, I've never asked you."
Just when he finished speaking, Zhao Jialin came in angrily. Yan Yuhui's smile froze on his face. He was terrified. His heart was beating violently. He was worried about the letter on the table. If Zhao Jialin saw it, it would be over.
Lu Yiwei, on the other hand, was as calm as a mountain. He closed the newspaper and placed the letter in the middle. He raised his head and looked at Zhao Jialin coldly.
"What are you doing here? Go out first. I have something to talk to Yiwei. "Zhao Jialin said with a bad mood. In his eyes, Yan Yuhui had always been a thorn in his side. His biggest mistake was not completely getting rid of him. Keeping him by his side would only bring him endless trouble.
Yan Yuhui pretended not to hear and smiled at Lu Yiwei. "Director Lu, I'll go out first." After that, he glanced at Zhao Jialin and walked out with his head held high.
Zhao Jialin sat on the sofa and said, "Yiwei, do you have something against me? If you have something against me, you can talk to me face to face. How can I have a foothold in the management committee? Even if Xiaopeng has something against you, you can discuss it with me. I guarantee that I will agree with your suggestion. Why do you have to cause a commotion? "
Lu Yiwei leaned back on the chair and twirled his thumbs. "Secretary Zhao, I have always respected you, and I have never thought of doing anything to you. But have you sought my opinion on every decision of the management committee? According to the division of responsibilities, you're in charge of the party's affairs, and I'm in charge of the economy. But I don't seem to know where the money is going. The company has accumulated ¥30,000,000 in income over the years, and we've spent ¥320,000,000. Just this year alone, we've spent ¥80,000,000. Where did the money go? Guo Xiaopeng can only leave, and I'm doing this to protect him. Please understand my good intentions. "
Zhao Jialin snorted, "Lu Yiwei, are you investigating me?"
"If that's what you think, then I have nothing to say." Lu Yiwei replied without any fear.
"Alright!" Zhao Jialin slowly sat up on the sofa. "Since that's the case, then we'll wait and see!" When he finished, he waved his sleeves and left.
Lu Yiwei sneered as he flipped the newspaper and placed the letter in his pocket.
When it was almost time to get off work, Xu Lei called.
"Hello, Big Brother. My parents want to treat us to lunch this afternoon. I've already called them, and they've agreed to it. What do you think?" Xu Lei asked with anticipation.
Ever since they reunited with Xu Lei, the Lu Family has been immersed in joy. This was especially true for the old couple, who were grinning from ear to ear all day long. They were beaming with joy, and it was hard to describe the happiness that they had regained what they had lost. Although they've reunited, the Xu Family only has one son, and if Xu Lei leaves, the old couple will be left alone. Then what's the point of living? Under Lu Yiwei's suggestion, Xu Lei doesn't have to change his name, and he can still be called Xu Lei. Furthermore, he can continue living in the Xu Family as long as he visits them. Xu Shousong was grateful for the Lu Family's tolerance.
Lu Yiwei replied without any hesitation, "Alright, you guys can make the arrangements. I'll go over when the time comes."
"Alright!" Xu Lei happily replied, "I'll pick you up when the time comes."
"There's no need. I have a car. Have you contacted Lingling?"
"Not yet. I'll call her later."
"Alright."
After hanging up, Lu Yiwei called Fan Chunfang and said, "Chunfang, Xu Lei wants us to go over for lunch. I'll pick you up after work."
"I'm not going!" Fan Chunfang immediately said, "You guys go ahead."
Lu Yiwei smiled and said, "You've already climbed up the family tree, and you still can't get over it? Xu Lei is your younger brother now. "
Fan Chunfang blushed and said, "I didn't mean it that way …"
After Fan Chunfang found out about the relationship between the two, she was in a daze for a few days. It was too bizarre. How could there be such a coincidence in the world? She was actually hovering between the two brothers. Just thinking about it made her blush. There were such coincidences in the world. If Lu Yiwei had not married Fan Chunfang, he might not have met Xu Lei in this life. Then the search for his family would be slow, and this kinship would never see the light of day again.
"Alright!" Lu Yiwei said, "I'll pick you up later. That's all for now."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Yiwei was reading the newspaper out of boredom. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He took out the report letter from his pocket and read it carefully. He immediately picked up the phone and called Yan Yuhui. "Put the report letter aside for now."
"Why?" Yan Yuhui thought Zhao Jialin had said something to him and chose to compromise. He said anxiously, "Director Lu, this is a great opportunity."
"Don't talk nonsense. I told you to put it aside. I have my ways." After saying that, he hung up the phone and tore the report letter into pieces before throwing it into the wastebasket.
Zhao Jialin was a smart person. When he entered the room, he saw Yan Yuhui acting suspiciously and must have seen the report letter on the table. If he handed it over now, it will fall into Yan Yuhui's hands.
Lu Yiwei was a straightforward person and never liked to play tricks. This kind of trick was not elegant, and even if he defeated the other party, it would not be a glorious victory. If he wanted to play, he would play an open scheme. He must let the other party know that he was the one who did it, and he must admit his defeat.
What is an open scheme? Compared to a conspiracy, it was a more advanced method. A conspiracy was usually to stab the other party in the back and catch the other party off guard. This was the most commonly used method in the government. Sowing discord behind the other party's back, speaking ill of the other party, playing all sorts of tricks to set up traps. These were all despicable methods, but the success rate was quite high. Once the scheme succeeded, there was basically no way to fight back and could only watch the other party smirk. However, this method had a huge drawback. Once it was seen through, the other party would lose everything, and the other party might even retaliate and kill you.
On the other hand, an open scheme was much better. It was about strategy, and it was a game of whose brain was faster. To put it bluntly, it was digging a trap and waiting for the other party to jump in. The other party clearly knew that you wanted to mess with him, but there was nothing you could do. This method was impeccable, watertight, and could even get twice the result with half the effort. For example, when Cao Cao attacked Jingzhou, he directly wrote a letter to tell the other party that he was going to attack the other party, and forced Liu Biao to surrender without a fight. If Cao Cao sent his troops to launch a sneak attack, it might not have this effect.
To put it bluntly, a conspiracy was cheating at cards, and an open scheme was flipping the table.
