Officialdom: After My Demotion, My Powerful Background Was Exposed

When his superior retired, Li Lin, as his secretary, was implicated and demoted to an indefinite secondment as deputy township head in a remote rural town.

With no backing, Li Lin's polit...

Chapter 153: Beating

Lin Dongliang said with a guilty conscience, "Secretary Li, it's my fault for not doing my job well, so I asked you to come here in person..."

Li Lin smiled and said, "You have been working in the village for more than 20 years, right?"

"Oh, yes, from the village group leader to the village committee member, and now the village branch secretary, it has been more than 20 years in total..." Lin Dongliang laughed.

"Well, after working for so many years, it's time to take a break." Li Lin's face was calm, as if he was talking about something very ordinary.

Lin Dongliang was shocked. The smile on his face froze instantly and he was petrified on the spot.

How could he not understand the meaning of Li Lin's words? He was asking him to step down and let others take over!

Why? On what basis?

He thought to himself, he had been working for the village for decades, and even if he had no merit, he had worked hard. Why should he be forced to step down just because of one sentence?

Lin Dongliang was unwilling to give up, and said solemnly, "Secretary, I am only in my fifties, and I can still contribute a little to the village. Besides, I have been the one who coordinated all the major and minor matters in the village over the past few decades.

As long as I am in office, there will be no major chaos in the village. You know, our village used to be famous for petitions in the whole township, and I spent a lot of effort to appease those petitioners. "

Hearing this, Li Lin laughed in his heart, thinking, how could Dalinzhuang Village be able to turn around without you, Lin Dongliang?

He smiled and said, "Okay, Lao Lin has signed the demolition agreement. There is one more household. You go and do the work and ask him to sign the agreement tomorrow. Any questions?"

"No problem, no problem..." Lin Dongliang felt as if he had been pardoned. Since Li Lin continued to assign him tasks, it proved that his previous words were a warning to him.

It seems that the little tricks I did during the demolition work must have been noticed by Li Lin.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

...

Lin Dongliang of Dalinzhuang Village's behavior of abusing his power for personal gain completely aroused Li Lin's concern.

Li Lin sat in the office, brows furrowed, fingers tapping lightly on the table, lost in thought.

If the cadres of other villages were like Lin Dongliang, they would not only fail to help the township government solve the problem, but would also add a lot of resistance.

Keeping such people will do more harm than good to the township, so they must not be allowed to stay!

He couldn't help but ponder, how many village cadres like Lin Dongliang are there in Weishui Township?

Li Lin stood up, walked slowly to the window, looked at the scenery outside, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.

For the sake of rural stability, it is not realistic to abolish all of them, but it is still necessary to make an example of them.

At present, Lin Weixin’s one-sided statement is not enough to convict Lin Dongliang, but a greedy guy like him will reveal his true colors soon.

Thinking of this, Li Lin reached out and picked up the mobile phone on the table and called Shao Xiaofei, the project manager of Longjian Group stationed in Weishui Township.

"Hello, Manager Shao, I'm Li Lin." Li Lin's voice was steady and powerful.

"Oh, hello Secretary Li, do you have any instructions?" Shao Xiaofei's respectful voice came from the other end of the phone.

"The factory is about to start construction. Have you negotiated with the construction company?"

"We're talking about it now, and the contract will be signed soon." Shao Xiaofei replied.

"Okay, several villages in our township have formed construction teams. They are capable of doing small projects like repairing walls and building toilets. I suggest that these small projects be handed over to the township's construction teams."

"Since Secretary Li has spoken, there is of course no problem. As long as the unit price is reasonable and the quality is up to standard, these small projects can all be handed over to the township construction team." Shao Xiaofei agreed without hesitation.

"Well, I'll thank you on behalf of the migrant workers in Weishui Township. I'll notify the construction teams in these villages right away. You can compare their prices and let whoever is suitable do the work. If they are not suitable, don't force them."

"Okay Secretary Li, I'll wait for them at the project department." Shao Xiaofei said.

After hanging up the phone, Li Lin pondered for two seconds and then called Lin Dongliang.

His fingers slid quickly across the phone screen, found Lin Dongliang's number, and gently pressed the dial button.

"Lao Lin, doesn't your village have a construction team? I have already informed Manager Shao of the Longjian Project Department. You can go and negotiate with him now. Remember, the price must be fair and the quality must be up to standard!" Li Lin's voice was serious and earnest.

Lin Dongliang was originally trembling with fear at home, fearing that he had offended Li Lin and that he would be held accountable in the future.

He sat on the sofa, rubbing his hands constantly, with an anxious look on his face.

Just when I was thinking about who to ask to plead for Li Lin, Li Lin called me.

He was both surprised and delighted, and quickly answered the phone.

When he heard Li Lin asking him to contact the Longjian Project Department, he finally felt relieved.

He stood up suddenly, an excited smile on his face, feeling secretly proud in his heart.

He thought to himself that it seemed that Li Lin had forgiven him, otherwise he would not have taken the initiative to give him the Long Jian project.

Just as he was feeling complacent, Li Lin, who was in the township government office, called the village branch secretaries of Baizhuang and Wuzhuang in succession.

Li Lin sat at his desk, leaning forward slightly, holding his cell phone in one hand and writing something in a notebook with the other.

The two villages also had construction teams formed. He also instructed the branch secretaries of the two villages to bring their respective construction teams to discuss cooperation with Longjian Group.

After hanging up the phone, Li Lin looked indifferent.

He leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes slightly, and thought about his next plan.

Given Lin Dongliang's greedy character, he would definitely think about how to make a profit from the project and would never give up this opportunity to make a fortune.

There are also construction teams from Baizhuang and Wuzhuang villages competing with him, which will inevitably put him under great pressure.

What will he do to successfully win Longjian’s project?

It would be fine if he doesn't act rashly, but if he dares to act recklessly... then we will take action against him!

Li Lin made up his mind.

There was a gleam of determination in his eyes, and he was determined to rectify these bad habits.

Create a good environment for the development of Weishui Township.
