Volume 7 Fast Horse and Whip Without Saddle, Section 100, Road Encounter
The cold and humid drizzle made the entire sky extremely dark, and the slippery ground forced the passing cars to slow down. Along the way, Lu Weimin saw at least three accidents involving rear-end collisions or slipping off the road due to slippery roads.
Fortunately, the accident was not serious, which made Lu Weimin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
He really didn't want to encounter something like last year. Although he was destined to meet an old friend like Duan Zijun, not every bad thing could turn into a good thing.
Thinking of this, Lu Weimin suddenly remembered the guy who was unfortunately involved in a car accident on New Year's Eve last year. He should have been discharged from the hospital long ago, right? It seemed that the other party had called him several times to express his gratitude and said he would come to visit him several times. See
It turned out that the other party didn't know what he was doing, and after he declined, he still refused. However, Lu Weimin really didn't have time a few times, so he could only explain it repeatedly before rejecting it.
The last time the other party called was years ago, asking if Lu Weimin was free during the Spring Festival and whether he would return to Changzhou. His family wanted to visit him and thank him in person, but Lu Weimin could only vaguely say that he would see it later.
Lu Weimin held the steering wheel with one hand and looked at his watch with the other hand. It was already past five o'clock in the afternoon. After passing the previous section of the mountain road in the Luomen area, he could enter Kunhu. The road conditions in Kunhu
It's much better, which allows Lu Weimin to relax a little, who has been comparing himself to others.
According to the convention, one of the two county committee secretaries and county magistrates needs to be on the first day of the first lunar month. Lu Weimin chose the seventh day of the first lunar month. However, perhaps it was the good mood brought about by the situation in the county this year. Cao Gang generously said that Lu Weimin could
An An went back to Changzhou to celebrate the New Year with peace of mind. He was on duty on the first and seventh day of the first lunar month. Anyway, his family had moved to **, so being on duty meant just sitting in the office in the morning and catching up with the situation.
There were so many things going on these past few days at the end of the year that things went by very quickly. Fortunately, He Mingkun helped Lu Weimin plan it carefully, especially the numerous dinner parties that Lu Weimin had to temporarily add to his various entertainment plans.
Usually four or five meals have to be arranged for one dinner, and even the tables are quite busy, so He Mingkun plays his role, patiently and politely coordinating each meal with other people, or concentrating on the Electric Power Hotel.
, or concentrate on ** hotels, which can save a lot of time without disappointing other people.
Lu Weimin also knows that this year-end invitation has many meanings. Even if you just sit down, say a few words of encouragement, or even chat a few words, it will be a great comfort to the inviter. This is a matter of etiquette, and he tries his best to
The same goes for thinking about who he wants to invite to his superiors. He pushes things here and there. It feels like he is comparing himself to himself, so he is not willing to reject anyone casually.
When attending these banquets, it is inevitable to have gifts or red envelopes of this kind. Lu Weimin is also very troubled. The value of gifts and red envelopes for such occasions is not very heavy, which is only three to five hundred yuan. There is such a meaning.
Especially since everyone knows Lu Weimin's temperament, more people choose gifts instead of red envelopes.
As for the red envelopes, more were given to Lu Weimin’s secretary and driver.
Lu Weimin knew that his persistence was not suitable for everyone around him, so he specifically talked to He Mingkun and Shi Desheng about this. During the holidays, gifts such as human kindness and sophistication, or red envelopes, should not be too excessive, and they should be consistent.
For those that are deliberately targeted, they have to take control of it themselves.
After all, following the people around him, if a secretary can still pursue a political career, such as a driver, unless he himself intends to pursue advancement, then it is difficult to set too strict requirements in this regard, and Shi Desheng seems to
I really enjoy the life of driving for myself now, and I seem to love cars to the core.
Lu Weimin also talked with Shi Desheng in a very subtle way. Shi Desheng clearly told Lu Weimin that he had no other ideas and just wanted to drive well and live a simpler life. As he said himself, he was already in his thirties.
No matter how educated he is, it would be too tiring and not in line with his wishes to try his best to pursue an official career.
Fortunately, Lu Weimin was reassured by Shi Desheng's character. This man was not only very understanding, but also very principled. He had an excellent grasp of what he could and could not do, which made Lu Weimin trust him very much.
Lu Weimin gave He Mingkun and Shi Desheng a holiday when they were thirty. The period before this year was also the busiest for the secretaries and drivers. They had to follow them from morning to afternoon until evening, especially for dinner. They often went to Fengzhou or even Changzhou.
The more late the leader is, the more late your secretary and driver will be. Sometimes the occasion where the leader attends is not suitable for your secretary and driver to follow you. The two of you have to find your own place. Wait for the pager from the boss to ring, and you have to drive immediately.
Go to the designated place and wait.
The buzzer of Big Brother pulled Lu Weimin out of his aimless thinking. It was a call from Liang Yan.
"Brother Yan, happy Spring Festival."
"Haha, for the people, I wish you a happy Spring Festival. Do you have any plans for the New Year? I know that you are the county magistrate and you will have a lot of entertainment at the end of the year, so I won't disturb you. How about we get together during the Spring Festival, right in Changzhou.
"
Liang Yan was not in a very good mood and won several bids for Qushuang Highway. Under Lu Weimin's suggestion, he really wanted to do this project in a down-to-earth manner. As Lu Weimin said, you can't survive on your connections for a lifetime.
, which is the kingly way to have both connections and tangible things. He recognized this very much, so he wanted to start his own transformation from the Qushuang Highway project.
Of course, Lu Weimin also knew what Liang Yan meant. This man was very good at getting things done. Compared to dudes like Wang Xiaotao, he was obviously much more mature. The funding for the Qushuang Highway project came from the Ministry of Communications and the Provincial Department of Communications, as well as a small amount of regional financial subsidies.
There is no need to worry about funding, and with Jiao Wuyang working hard, the problem is not big. It can be said that he is not of much use to them now.
But Liang Yan obviously has more than that. He keeps in touch with him so enthusiastically, so naturally he has longer-term plans and ideas. However, Lu Weimin is not disgusted with this person. In his opinion, a person who is willing to make progress,
No matter what means he uses, as long as it is within the scope of the law, there is nothing wrong with it. When people live in this world, they want to survive and live a better life, so it is normal to pursue something they want.
"Brother Yan, look, I have to go out for the Spring Festival, and I may not come back until the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, so the time is really hard to determine. I accept your wishes. We are all from the 195 factory. We should take care of each other if anything happens.
"Yes." Lu Weimin said very politely.
"Haha, for the people, where are we? I mean, let's get together as young people. I know you want to take a political path. Xiao Dong, Wu Yang and others think you are very interesting and willing.
Let me get to know you better. I think Xiaodong’s father is also the Organization Minister of the Provincial Party Committee. It will be helpful for you to have a good relationship with Xiaodong in the future. Even in Wuyang, Lao Jiao is still the executive deputy of your administrative office.
Commissioner, he can still keep his word on some things. A good relationship only has advantages and no disadvantages, right?" Liang Yan's voice on the phone was very bold, "Don't think too much, Brother Yan knows the rules and won't cause trouble for you.
Brother Yan knows that you won't do anything that goes beyond the principles, and Brother Yan won't come to make things difficult for you."
Liang Yan's words were quite beautiful and reasonable. If he pushed it further, it would seem a bit inappropriate. Lu Weimin hesitated and said, "How about this? I'll call you when I come back on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year to try to get everyone together.
I'll make arrangements."
"How about that?" Liang Yan was very happy to see Lu Weimin agreeing, "Then it's settled. We'll contact you on the sixth day of the lunar month and I'll make arrangements. We'll be in Changzhou."
Putting down the phone, Lu Weimin was sighing when he saw a Santana in front of him with a Chang M license plate parked on the roadside, emergency lights flashing, and the hood seemed to be raised. It seemed that the car was broken down and was being repaired. Lu Weimin
Didn't pay much attention to it either.
Lu Weimin didn't pay much attention to it. The car passed by in a flash. Lu Weimin glanced casually and saw that a person who looked like a driver was lying under the hood tinkering with something. He didn't know whether there was a problem with the circuit or the oil line.
The familiar figure in the passenger seat passed by in a flash.
"Huh?" Lu Weimin hesitated for a moment and subconsciously clicked on the brakes. Just like that, the Mitsubishi had already driven dozens of meters away. Lu Weimin thought for a moment and picked up the phone to call, "Wanru, what's wrong with the car?"
broken?"
"Ah? How do you know? You just went there? Well, I rented a car. Who knew it broke down on the road? I already called the nearby car repair shop and asked them to come over, but I'm afraid it will take two or three hours.
Yes." Ji Wanru's tone on the phone was full of surprise.
"Then let's go, I'll take you back to Changzhou." Lu Weimin stopped the car, turned around, and returned. Ji Wanru had already gotten out of the car, and she probably said something to the driver before she hurried over.
After getting in the car, Ji Wanru's pale face and thin clothes made Lu Weimin couldn't help laughing, "Wanru, you really need to be elegant rather than warm. It's already below zero, and you still wear so little?"
"Who knew this car would break down? There was an air conditioner in the car. I thought it would be air-conditioned when I went home, so I didn't bring much clothes. Who knew it broke down halfway? It was so cold that I almost came down for a run, and it started to rain again.
, you tell me why I am so unlucky, but I am lucky to have met you."
Under the strong warm wind in the car, Ji Wanru gradually regained her breath. She was indeed wearing a little less. She had a woolen coat with only a slightly thin cashmere sweater, a skirt underneath and cashmere tights. This was indoors.
Of course there is no problem, it is enough to be enjoyed in the wild. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to register as a member of Piao Tian Literature to recommend this work. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
