Before the car stopped, Li Lin had already seen Qian Lingyun standing in the government yard.

He was deeply moved. Qian Lingyun, the mayor of the city, actually took the initiative to wait for him downstairs.

Li Lin looked around the courtyard and instantly felt that the countless gazes on the entire building, which seemed to carry real pressure, seemed to be focused on Qian Lingyun.

"Why do I have to do this? Ignoring everyone's criticism, I try to raise my status in this way..." Li Lin smiled helplessly.

He knew in his heart that Qian Lingyun did this on purpose. He wanted to use this incident to indirectly convey a clear and strong message to everyone.

That is, Li Lin is not just an ordinary secretary of Qian Lingyun. His position in Qian Lingyun's mind is unmatched!

Li Lin couldn't wait to push the door and get out of the car.

In an instant, the eyes of everyone in the courtyard turned from Qian Lingyun to him like a spotlight.

The crowd couldn't help but sigh.

"Fuck! Isn't that Li Lin? Why is he here? Could he be the person Mayor Qian is waiting for?" A voice exclaimed, the voice full of disbelief.

"It's possible! As Mayor Qian's former secretary, is he going to return to the city government to serve Mayor Qian?" another person echoed, his tone full of surprise.

"Who is that person? A government car of that level should be of department level at most, right? Is Mayor Qian waiting for him?" someone asked doubtfully, his eyes wide open and full of curiosity.

People who knew Li Lin were all shocked, as if they had seen the most incredible thing.

Their mouths were wide open, big enough to fit an egg in. The familiar figure now appeared in such a special scene, causing their brains to fall into confusion.

People who didn't know Li Lin were also full of curiosity. They stared at Li Lin intently, watching him walk towards Qian Lingyun with firm and calm steps.

Every step seemed to be stepping on everyone's heart, making their heartbeats faster and faster.

However, an even more shocking scene occurred.

The moment Qian Lingyun saw Li Lin, he moved!

His usually steady pace now seemed a little anxious, his face was filled with a sincere and warm smile, and he took the initiative to walk towards Li Lin.

The two stood opposite each other amid countless surprised and shocked gazes, and then shook hands calmly.

The scene seemed to be frozen in the long river of time, becoming an indelible scene in everyone's heart.

"Mayor Qian, sorry for the long wait!" Li Lin's voice was steady and powerful, his eyes full of respect and gratitude.

"Xiao Lin, it's my duty to wait for you." Qian Lingyun's voice was kind and gentle, his eyes full of appreciation and trust for Li Lin.

The two men smiled at each other, and that smile contained a tacit understanding and friendship that only they could understand. It was like they were comrades who had not seen each other for many years, and everything was self-evident.

Seeing this scene, the people upstairs exclaimed again.

"What the hell..."

"What kind of shocking background does Li Lin have that Mayor Qian has to wait for him downstairs?" someone shouted, his voice becoming sharp due to excessive shock.

"This is unbelievable, isn't it? Mayor Qian is waiting for a section-level cadre? What's so special about him?"

Questioning voices arose one after another, and everyone's face was filled with astonishment and confusion.

Everyone was so surprised that they opened their mouths for a long time without closing them.

Their eyes were filled with jealousy and envy towards Li Lin.

Some people secretly regretted in their hearts why Mayor Qian was not waiting for them.

Some people were racking their brains to think about the relationship between Li Lin and Qian Lingyun, trying to find some clues that might be beneficial to them.

Some people even fantasize about how great it would be if they were the person Mayor Qian was waiting for, and what kind of glory and opportunity that would be.

Among the many surprised gazes, one was particularly fiery.

That was Wei Haiyang, who happened to come to the municipal government for business.

At this time, he was standing in front of the window of Deputy Mayor Zhang Yi's office and saw the scene of Qian Lingyun and Li Lin shaking hands.

His eyes suddenly became fierce and full of resentment, as if they could spit fire.

Wei Haiyang's eyes were filled with anger, his fists were clenched tightly, and a tremendous hatred emanated from his whole body.

Thinking back to the humiliation Li Lin inflicted on him at the gate of Dongsheng that night, every word and every expression was like a knife, deeply hurting his self-esteem.

Damn it! Is Li Lin really going to make a comeback? Does Qian Lingyun really want him to return to the city government?

Wei Haiyang's heart was roaring with anger. He could not accept such a situation.

In his imagination, Li Lin should always be under his feet and never be able to turn over.

At this time, Zhang Yi walked quietly behind him, looked out the window, then looked at Wei Haiyang who was full of anger, and immediately understood what was going on.

He smiled and said to Wei Haiyang in a teasing tone, "Xiao Wei, didn't you and Li Lin join the city government at the same time? You should have a good relationship, right?"

Wei Haiyang realized there was someone behind him, and quickly restrained his expression, regained his composure, turned around and said to Zhang Yi with a smile, "Of course, Li Lin and I... still have a lot of common topics. It's a pity that he is working at the grassroots level now, so we have less communication, hehe."

His smile seemed so stiff and there was a hint of trembling in his voice.

As the secretary of the municipal party secretary, he must of course pretend to be a dignified and upright gentleman.

In fact, I didn't know how many times I cursed Li Lin in my heart.

He secretly swore in his heart that he would never let Li Lin easily return to the city government and become his competitor again.
