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 160: Division Level Leader

After learning that Li Lin's promotion to deputy county magistrate was rejected by the Standing Committee, the cadres of Weishui Township had different reactions.

Some people remained silent, lowered their heads in thought, secretly guessing the reasons behind this.

Some people showed their laughter without concealing their expressions, as if they were watching a farce.

After learning the news, Yang Ping felt indignant.

"We helped the county introduce such a large enterprise, and the county didn't even show any expression, but now they have even denied your nomination as deputy county magistrate. They've gone too far." Yang Ping's voice was filled with dissatisfaction and anger.

At the Longjian construction site, when no one was around, she finally couldn't help but complain a few words.

Machines roared at the construction site and workers were busy moving around.

Yang Ping and Li Lin stood aside and watched the bustling construction scene.

Li Lin smiled and said nothing.

He did not ask the county to promote him to deputy county magistrate, and Mayor Qian had never mentioned this idea to him. He was also very puzzled. Since Liu Yong was not ready to promote him, why did he rashly make this suggestion at the Standing Committee meeting?

He knew very well that if Liu Yong, the county party secretary, was determined to promote him to deputy county magistrate, he would definitely make sufficient preparations and wait until everything was ready before discussing it at the meeting.

However, now that it has been denied, this matter is basically hopeless, and don't even think about getting promoted in the next two years.

Is Liu Yong simply brainless, or is he doing it on purpose?

Li Lin's expression was somewhat intriguing. He frowned slightly, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

He turned his head and glanced at Yang Ping, a faint smile appearing on the corner of his mouth, "The county has its own ideas, we just need to do our job well, why bother about these things?" Li Lin's tone was calm, as if this matter had no effect on him.

Yang Ping rolled her eyes at Li Lin and said, "You were rejected at the meeting. Do you know what this means? It means that the county will not mention your case again in the next two years. No matter how hard you work, no matter how great your achievements are, it will be useless!"

Yang Ping was a little excited. She waved her hands in the air as if she was standing up for Li Lin.

Li Lin still had a calm expression on his face, he had thought about these things very clearly. The personnel situation in the county was complicated, and promoting a deputy county rank would involve a lot of people, and the resistance would be extremely great.

For example, the Finance Bureau Director has served two terms, and the Party Committee Secretary of several large towns such as Kaoshan Town has also been in this position for many years and has achieved many achievements, both large and small. Why haven't they been promoted?

It is because the forces behind these people are competing with each other and they can never find a balance point. If their own people are not promoted, no one else can be promoted either.

County and department-level officials are not as good as township and section-level cadres. Even Liu Yong needs to do a lot of work behind the scenes to promote one or two people in the county. After all, county and department-level officials are directly managed by the Municipal Organization Department and the number of places is limited.

Li Lin shook his head slightly, sighed softly, and continued to look at the construction site.

"Manager Shao, how are the construction teams from Baicun and Wucun doing? Is the quality up to standard?" Li Lin ignored Yang Ping's constant complaints and walked up to start a conversation with Shao Xiaofei.

Yang Ping shook her head helplessly. If this happened to someone else, they would have been furious. She didn't understand why Li Lin was so calm.

Could it be that he had some other tricks up his sleeve? Yang Ping wondered.

She stood there, looking at Li Lin's back, her heart full of questions.

Seeing Li Lin coming, Shao Xiaofei excitedly put down the work in his hands and trotted over to greet him.

"Secretary Li, why are you here? Oh, both construction teams have done a good job and the quality is up to standard!" Shao Xiaofei said with a respectful smile.

Shao Xiaofei had a bright smile on his face and his eyes were full of respect.

Li Lin nodded, "Are there enough workers?" Li Lin raised his chin slightly, a hint of concern in his eyes.

"It's barely enough. If we can replenish some more, we can speed up the progress a lot." Shao Xiaofei frowned slightly, thinking about the progress of the project.

"I suggest that the construction team from Dalinzhuang Village be allowed to come in and work, and that they receive the same treatment as the construction teams from Baizhuang and Wuzhuang." Li Lin had thought of this matter long ago. The people of Dalinzhuang Village were all led astray by cadres like Lin Dongliang, and they themselves had done nothing wrong.

Now the cadres of Dalinzhuang Village have been replaced under the leadership of Zhao Jie. The new cadres seem to be responsible and motivated, and they should be given a chance. Li Lin's eyes were firm and his tone was decisive.

"Are you still using workers from Dalinzhuang Village?" Shao Xiaofei seemed a little surprised and puzzled.

After all, the last time hundreds of Dalinzhuang villagers besieged the project department, he was scared to death. He still feels scared when he thinks about it now.

He was very worried that if the workers from Dalinzhuang came to the construction site, would there be another incident like the last one?

Shao Xiaofei showed worry on his face and rubbed his hands nervously.

Li Lin smiled and patted his shoulder, "Why, you don't have confidence in what I said?" Li Lin's smile was warm and confident, and his eyes were full of encouragement.

"I dare not, I dare not..." Shao Xiaofei waved his hands repeatedly for fear that Li Lin would misunderstand. "Since Secretary Li proposed it, I will definitely do it even if it is difficult!" Shao Xiaofei's tone was firm, and his eyes revealed his trust in Li Lin.

"Don't worry, I have replaced the village cadres in Dalinzhuang, and such things will not happen again." Li Lin said with a smile, "Your factory is built in Dalinzhuang Village, so you will inevitably have to deal with the villagers in the future. It is not a bad thing to take this opportunity to get acquainted with them. Besides, most of the people are sensible and grateful. If you create a job for them today, they will thank you in their own way."
