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 180 Conspiracy

"What? President Su agreed to come to Pingyang for an inspection?"

Qian Lingyun asked excitedly on the phone.

"That's right. We will set off from the provincial capital together tomorrow morning and we will probably reach Pingyang before noon." Li Lin said calmly.

"Okay! Xiaolin, I was right about you. You finished it in just one day. I will personally welcome you when you come back!" Qian Lingyun said happily.

Li Lin smiled and said, "Mayor Qian, I have something to report to you in advance. I hope you won't blame me for acting on my own."

"It's okay! Just tell me." Qian Lingyun was still immersed in the excitement of successfully inviting Su Huiyang, and he was very tolerant of what Li Lin said about acting on his own initiative.

With Qian Lingyun's promise, Li Lin said, "It's like this. In order to successfully invite President Su to come out of retirement, I lied that the cotton mill has plans to go public in the future, and it is a government-supported project."

Qian Lingyun was stunned. He never expected that Li Lin was so bold that he even dared to deceive a person like Su Huiyang. However, this also showed Li Lin's courage and boldness.

He smiled and said, "So that's how it is. You are really brave. You are not afraid that President Su will expose your lies after the inspection and have a negative impact on the reorganization of our cotton mill..."

"However, I have indeed considered listing the cotton mill in the future...it's just that everything is immature and I have never said it out loud. Since you have brought it up with Su Huiyang, I will explain it to him in person when the time comes, and he will have no choice but to believe it!"

Qian Lingyun also considered it very thoroughly. Even if the cotton mill was to be listed, it had to be after the reorganization and when the cotton mill became profitable again before it could be pushed forward. That might be one or two years, or even three or four years later.

It would be beneficial to formulate a listing plan first to facilitate this restructuring. In short, the bigger the pie, the more investment it will attract.

Li Lin, this kid, actually did something that he didn't dare to do! Anyway, his mission has been successfully completed, and the rest is left to him, the mayor, to handle!

After receiving Qian Lingyun's affirmative answer, Li Lin finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that his own actions would bring trouble to Qian Lingyun. Now it seems that his worries were unnecessary.

After all, for today's cotton mills, attracting investment and revitalizing the economy is the top priority!

The next morning, Li Lin and Su Huiyang contacted each other and set out separately, agreeing to meet at the Pingyang Municipal Government.

After receiving the call that Li Lin had already set off, Qian Lingyun quickly notified Yang Wanquan and Zhang Yi.

"President Su is already on his way to Pingyang. Mayor Yang will be responsible for arranging the reception. Mayor Zhang, you should go to the cotton mill first and meet with the person in charge there. Ask them to prepare for the visit in advance. No matter what, we must overcome the difficulties and leave a good impression on President Su! This will lay a solid foundation for the next step of negotiating cooperation!"

Yang Wanquan and Zhang Yi were a little bit unbelievable.

Zhang Yi asked in surprise, "Mayor Qian, are you sure Li Lin invited President Su here?"

Yang Wanquan also stared at Qian Lingyun with wide eyes.

Qian Lingyun nodded calmly and said with a smile, "Li Lin reported to me last night. He also had lunch with President Su yesterday afternoon. The two got along very well. President Su also expressed a strong interest in the reorganization of our Pingyang Cotton Mill. He even promised Li Lin in person that as long as the cotton mill still has a glimmer of hope, he will spare no effort to help the cotton mill reorganize its assets!"

Hearing this, Yang Wanquan and Zhang Yi were stunned... thinking that Su Huiyang was such a big shot, and Li Lin actually had lunch with him and had a good chat with him...

How on earth did this kid do it? The two looked at each other, both of them extremely shocked.

At this moment, in a villa on the outskirts of Pingyang, a conspiracy about the cotton mill is quietly brewing.

Wan Yingjie, the CEO of Millennium Investment Company, learned through his connections in the provincial capital that Su Huiyang was coming to inspect the cotton mill restructuring project.

He was wondering if Su Huiyang intervened in this matter, then the plan he and Lu Yuanfeng had agreed upon to buy the cotton mill at a low price would be ruined.

And there was the guy named Li Lin. He had personally promised Lu Yuanfeng that he would help him teach Li Lin a lesson.

What should he do? For a moment, he was at a loss.

So he called Lu Yuanfeng, hoping to hear his opinion.

"Mr. Lu, my name is Wan Yingjie. Regarding the cotton mill issue, I heard that Su Huiyang from the Textile Association is going to intervene. This is very detrimental to our plan!" Wan Yingjie said in a depressed tone.

Lu Yuanfeng smiled, as if he didn't take Su Huiyang seriously at all. He said disdainfully, "What's the matter, President Wan? Are you stumped by such a small matter? I thought you were very capable, but you are just like this! Humph..."

Wan Yingjie was scolded by Lu Yuanfeng, his face turned red, and he said ashamedly, "Mr. Lu, you don't know that Su Huiyang is not an ordinary person. In terms of financial resources and background, there is still a gap between him and me."

Lu Yuanfeng suddenly laughed out loud, "Boss Wan, how can you belittle yourself? Have you forgotten that I've got your back?"

Wan Yingjie was delighted and asked quickly, "Mr. Lu, I've been waiting for you to say this. Do you have a solution?"

Lu Yuanfeng said, "If you want to ruin this matter, isn't that easy?"

Wan Yingjie waited expectantly for Lu Yuanfeng's next words.

Lu Yuanfeng slowly said, "Su Huiyang intervened in the cotton mill just to make a profit. As long as we understand this, it will be easy to deal with him. As long as we ruin his inspection and make him worry about the prospects of the cotton mill, he will never invest in the cotton mill again."

"Ruin? How can we ruin this inspection? I heard that the city's main leaders are following, and the security measures are very strict. Our people have no chance to do anything!" Wan Yingjie asked puzzled.

Lu Yuanfeng laughed contemptuously, "You are just a pig-head! How can you let our people take action in this situation?"

"Send your men to secretly contact several laid-off workers at the cotton mill and tell them that the municipal government has found a buyer for the cotton mill and that the buyer will come for an on-site inspection this afternoon."

"As soon as this news spreads among the employees, they will immediately gather together and surround the cotton mill. By then, even if Qian Lingyun is present, he will be helpless!"

"Su Huiyang is a profit-seeking guy. If he sees that there are such big conflicts and disputes in the cotton mill, do you think he will still be interested in acquiring shares in the cotton mill?"

Wan Yingjie frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "Great! Master Lu's plan is really great!"

"Laid-off workers besieged foreign merchants... Once this news broke out on the Internet, who would dare to invest in the cotton mill?"
