Through Zhao Jialin's case, the ugly side of China's officialdom was reflected. The so-called interest alliance or relationship network was not unbreakable, but a kind of false moral tie built on the basis of interest.
Today, whether it was in school or society, whether it was the officialdom or the business world, they were all instilled with the idea that controlling the network would mean controlling everything. It was undeniable that in today's China, it was hard to do anything without the network, and even a certificate had to be issued. Everyone had their own network of relationships, and finally intertwined to form a big network. Everyone tried to break the rules to cut the queue and take shortcuts, and some people even took pride in having a strong network.
A country advocated institutionalization, and even raised integrity and the rule of law to unprecedented heights. It could be said that this invisible network of relationships was the main culprit that hindered the implementation of the system and the implementation of the law. Everyone wanted to rely on relationships, and everyone wanted to have relationships, and the starting point of this was to break the rules. Gradually, people became greedy, cold, obsessed with relationships, and used moral coercion. There was only one purpose, to satisfy their own selfish desires.
A few days later, a transfer order was issued. Lu Yiwei was temporarily in charge of the Working Committee, and Zhao Jialin was removed from his position as the Secretary of the Working Committee.
To deal with Zhao Jialin, Lu Yiwei almost didn't have to lift a finger to get rid of him. Was that so? If analyzed carefully, if Lu Yiwei didn't remove Guo Xiaopeng, it wouldn't have caused panic in Zhao Jialin and Liang Guodong. In the end, they shot themselves in the foot, and ruined their future.
Everything had a cause and effect. The reason was that Zhao Jialin was too arrogant, and didn't care about the interests of the masses. He seemed to have guessed this ending by sacrificing the interests of a large number of people to satisfy his own interests, but he didn't expect it to fall into the hands of Qiu Yuanhang.
In the blink of an eye, it was the New Year, and Lu Yiwei was extremely busy. There were endless meetings, and endless things to deal with, and he couldn't handle it all alone. Even so, he didn't forget one thing, and that was to coordinate with the city's enterprises to move into the high-tech zone.
Mayor Bai Zongfeng had already submitted this issue to Deputy Governor Shen Guangming, and they also had a discussion. Shen Guangming was very interested in this issue, and if all the enterprises were moved out and managed together, it would undoubtedly be a good thing. But he had to face a very real problem, such a huge project would inevitably cost a lot, and who would bear the cost? For a moment he could not make up his mind.
Shen Guangming exchanged opinions with Governor Zhao Kunsheng on this matter. Zhao Kunsheng was also very interested, but he did not express his opinion. To implement it, Zhang Bingtong had to agree and discuss it in a meeting. The process was rather tedious.
Before he could follow up on this matter, the Lunar New Year of the Goat arrived.
In the past year, Lu Yiwei had both good and bad times. With the help of SARS, he successfully went from behind the scenes to the front. He turned a bad hand into a good one, turned the passive situation around, and became the advanced county in the fight against SARS in the province. He also organized a provincial health work conference in Heishan County to promote this obscure little county to the whole country.
However, success was not without reason, and failure was also not without reason, because Guo Jinzhu almost tripped. He came to the management committee out of the blue and joined hands with Xu Lei to take down Shanteng Motors.
One's life doesn't need to be colorful, as long as one can do one or two things to be proud of, that's enough. Lu Yiwei's official career was full of twists and turns, filled with too many dramas and legends. Compared to the officials who had a meteoric rise, his official path was not smooth. It could be said that he was the true portrayal of many officials in the real world, and also a beautiful vision in a fantasy scroll.
Returning to his personal life, the happiest thing for him was finding his long-lost younger brother, fulfilling his parents' long-cherished wish. What pained him the most was Li Haidong's betrayal, which gave him a hard stab in the back.
Another year of winter plum blossoms was in full bloom. What would Lu Yiwei do in the future?
This Spring Festival was the liveliest Spring Festival that Lu Yiwei had ever had. With the addition of two family members, the old couple was so happy that they could not close their mouths. Xu Lei spent the first day of the Spring Festival with the Xu family, and on the second day, he returned to "his own home" and gave his parents a big gift, which surprised Lu Yiwei.
Xu Lei put a door key on the table and said, "Dad, Mom, thank you for bringing me into this world. I'm deeply sorry that I couldn't be by your side all these years. Now, we are reunited as a family, how happy we are. So, I want you to stay in Jiangdong City, so that it's convenient to take care of you. Without your consent, I bought an apartment out of my own pocket. It's in the building next door. The house has been renovated, and you can move in immediately. "
Faced with such a big gift, Liu Cuilan was caught off guard. She returned the key to Xu Lei and said, "Son, we're happy to see you and your sister living a dignified life. I appreciate your kindness, but I can't take the house. You're not married yet, so you'll need a lot of money. "Your dad and I have discussed it, we'll return to Nanyang after the Spring Festival. We're getting old, and we're starting to be nostalgic. We're not used to living in the city. "
Hearing that his parents wanted to return to their hometown, Xu Lei stopped them and said, "Mom, you and dad have worked hard all your lives, and it's a good time to spend your old age in the city. Besides, Lang Lang still needs you to take care of him, and brother and sister-in-law have to work. If you leave, who's going to take care of the child? "
Lu Weiguo said slowly, "I haven't had time to discuss this with Yiwei. We're planning to bring Lang Lang back. We'll wait for him to go to kindergarten before coming back. What do you think? "
Lu Yiwei was unprepared and said, "Dad, I don't have any objections, but it's up to Chunfang."
Fan Chunfang was cooking in the kitchen. When she heard this, she walked out and said, "Mom, Dad, I don't have any objections to you bringing Lang Lang back, but it's mainly because of your health. If anyone in the village falls sick, and we're not around, it'll be inconvenient to go back. "
"My body is still strong, so it'll be fine." Lu Weiguo said, "Children these days are too pampered. They live in apartment blocks and are not down to earth. When they return to the village, they'll be running around in the yard. I'm also asking for your opinion. If you don't agree, we won't leave. "
Lu Yiwei could tell that his parents were not comfortable staying here. They were cooped up at home all day without anyone to talk to. As time went on, it was easy to get sick. He made the decision and said, "Alright then, I agree with you going back, but you have to wait until spring, when it's warmer."
"Alright."
For the past two days, Lu Yiwei's dinner schedule was full. At noon today, Sanjō's new Chinese restaurant opened for business. At night, Niu Fuyong wanted to have a gathering together. Tomorrow night, Heishan County would come over, and the day after that, the management committee would gather for dinner … This did not exclude the possibility of inviting other leaders. When one became a leader, one's body did not belong to one. One had to take care of every aspect, especially during the Chinese New Year and other festivals. One after another, one after another. It could be said that almost half of one's time was wasted at the dining table.
Sanjō's Chinese restaurant was located in Qiyang District's Donghu Square. It had rented an office building with a total area of more than a thousand square meters. It was quite grand. Sanjō switched from the advertising industry to the food and beverage industry, and the transition was quite successful. After the emergence of various advertising companies, he resolutely gave up on opening a Western restaurant. As a new thing, he made a lot of money. As a matter of fact, he opened a Chinese restaurant again, and invested a few million.
When Lu Yiwei arrived, the restaurant was already full. Sanjō cheerfully welcomed him and said, "Yiwei, what do you think of our battle?"
"Quite grand!"
"Haha." Sanjō grinned from ear to ear and said, "Originally, I planned to open for business after a while. It just happened to be the Spring Festival, so I brought it forward. Let's go, Black Circle has already arrived. "
"You opened two restaurants. Can you handle it?" Lu Yiwei asked as he walked.
"It's alright. I've let Monkey manage the Western restaurant. I'll focus on this side."
"Oh." When Monkey was mentioned, Lu Yiwei could not help but think of that matter. He asked, "Does Monkey still gamble?"
"No." Sanjō shook his head and said, "Since that incident, Monkey has changed a lot. He is more obedient than before. In fact, he has reconciled with his ex-wife in the past two days. "
Hearing this, Lu Yiwei stopped and said, "That's a good thing."
"Sigh!" Sanjō sighed and said, "People are not saints. Everyone makes mistakes. Sanjō is still very regretful. Every time he sees you, he is very embarrassed. When you eat later, you should drink a few more glasses of wine with him."
"Understood."
After entering the private room, Black Circle said with a smile, "Our great Director Lu is here. Your presence brings light to my humble dwelling."
Lu Yiwei went forward and hammered him. "Don't talk nonsense. I'm just a small official. How can I live as freely as a big boss like you?"
Black Circle tilted his head and said, "You made quite a big commotion. You directly killed Zhao Jialin."
Lu Yiwei smiled indifferently and said, "Do you think I have that ability?"
Black Circle was stunned for a moment. He pointed at Lu Yiwei and said, "With your current identity and status, isn't it easy to kill Zhao Jialin?"
Lu Yiwei smiled without saying a word.
Black Circle said again, "That kid Xi Gang is actually from the underworld. He used to work for the underworld boss of Jiangdong City, Cripple. After Cripple was arrested, he returned to the village and became the village chief. He has made a lot of money over the years. This kid is ruthless. Since you have arrested him, you have to kill him. Otherwise, he will definitely take revenge when he is released. "
Lu Yiwei said with a relaxed expression, "Do you think I, Lu Yiwei, am someone who is afraid of trouble?"
"That's true. Haha." Black Circle laughed. "But don't worry. This kid is rude and unreasonable, but he is obedient in front of me. If he dares to touch a single hair of yours, I will not forgive him. "
(PS: The recent plot has caused dissatisfaction among some readers. Wan Lu needs to explain. The demolition mentioned in the novel is based on reality. There is a real prototype. In fact, reality is even crueler and more violent than in the novel. I won't mention the specific place. You can Google it yourself. As for the matter of framing Lu Yiwei with drugs, it is also based on reality. In reality, it was not perfectly resolved in the novel. Instead, it was done in by someone. Wan Lu substituted a flower for a tree in the novel. Furthermore, the plot of Xu Lei and Lu Yiwei being brothers was originally designed. Perhaps my foreshadowing was not obvious, causing some readers to be unable to accept it. Once again, this is just a legendary novel. Naturally, there will be exaggerations. I hope that everyone does not take it too seriously and do not take it personally. The novel is nearing its end. Wan Lu has been feeling tired recently. He often sits in front of the computer for four to five hours before he can write a chapter. I hope everyone can understand!)
