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 196 It only takes a few minutes to go from a bad comrade to a good comrade

Peng Yutao was very anxious and he wanted to know the result urgently.

Even if it was the worst outcome, he couldn't wait any longer!

"Secretary Peng, wait another half an hour and there should be a result." Li Lin calmly reported to Peng Yutao what he had just reported to Qian Lingyun.

Peng Yutao frowned slightly. Facing Li Lin's firm tone, he was a little bit unconvinced. But he could afford to wait for half an hour, so he nodded and said, "Okay, let's wait another half an hour!"

After hanging up the phone, Peng Yutao looked around at everyone.

When he saw Qian Lingyun with a calm face, he couldn't help but wonder, Qian Lingyun seemed to be in a very calm state of mind since he went out to answer a phone call. Could it be that the person who just called him was not his child, but Li Lin?

That should be the case! After all, Li Lin is his man, and he will definitely choose to report this news to him as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Peng Yutao couldn't help but sneer, and suddenly felt a sense of loss in his heart. He was very envious of Qian Lingyun for having a capable general like Li Lin under his command!

He couldn't help but turn his gaze to Wei Haiyang standing beside him, and couldn't help shaking his head and sighing. His secretary was good in every way, but in terms of the ability to fight alone, he was far inferior to Li Lin!

Not to mention going to the provincial government to do business, I'm afraid Li Lin can beat Wei Haiyang with one hand!

At this time, everyone looked at Peng Yutao curiously, wanting to hear a result from him.

Peng Yutao sighed and said to everyone, "Wait! Our team leader Li Lin promised that things will turn around in half an hour. Be patient and wait for half an hour!"

Everyone was surprised when they heard this. How dare anyone make a promise at this time? Li Lin was really arrogant!

Even if it is Minister Fang of the Provincial Party Committee’s Propaganda Department, he wouldn’t dare to say that all problems can be solved in half an hour, right?

Everyone present laughed in their hearts, thinking that Peng Yutao's words were meant to tease Li Lin and humiliate Qian Lingyun. After all, everyone knew that Li Lin was Qian Lingyun's trusted and beloved general...

Qian Lingyun was very dissatisfied when he heard Peng Yutao's words. Because he knew that even if Li Lin was 100% sure about this matter, he would not be so sure... This must be Peng Yutao deliberately misinterpreting Li Lin's words, so as to leave the impression of Li Lin being "arrogant" to the Standing Committee members!

Damn it! Is this the extent of Peng Yutao's ambition? What is he up to?

As time slowly passed, everyone stared at their phone screens nervously.

It has been nearly half an hour, and the negative news about Pingyang Cotton Mill is still hanging on the Internet, with no sign of disappearing.

At this time, someone laughed and said jokingly, "Secretary Peng, is Li Lin trying to trick you? It's been so long, and the news about the cotton mill is still hot. Do you want to call and confirm? We can't put all our hopes on a young boy!"

As soon as the conversation started, someone in the Standing Committee immediately agreed with a smile, "Yes, Secretary Peng, could it be that this Team Leader Li deliberately passed on false information in order to get promoted?"

"Haha... You know what, nowadays, there are all kinds of cadres. Besides, I heard that this guy shamelessly put forward conditions to Secretary Peng before he went there, saying that he could be promoted to a higher level after this matter was completed... Hey, I think we shouldn't trust a cadre like this who is full of utilitarianism!"

Seeing that time was almost up, everyone took the opportunity to tease Li Lin.

In fact, they all knew that it was Qian Lingyun who proposed to promote Li Lin.

But they did not dare to attack Qian Lingyun directly, so they could only criticize Li Lin and mock Qian Lingyun openly and secretly.

At this time, Qian Lingyun was staring at the screen of his mobile phone, feeling very nervous.

Although he had confidence in Li Lin, there were too many uncertainties and he was afraid of any accidents.

Peng Yutao felt very proud when he heard everyone taking the opportunity to mock Qian Lingyun.

He waved his hand to signal for everyone to be quiet, and said sarcastically, "Okay, everyone stop blaming Li Lin. Although he was recommended by Mayor Qian, it was also approved by me. If he didn't accomplish this, then blame me for not knowing people well..."

He didn't finish his words.

Qian Lingyun's secretary Lu Hui suddenly trotted over to Qian Lingyun, holding up his phone and said to him in surprise, "Mayor Qian, look! News about the cotton mill is being removed one by one...some videos can no longer be found!"

Qian Lingyun excitedly took Lu Hui's mobile phone. Under his guidance, Qian Lingyun was pleasantly surprised to find that the negative news about Pingyang Cotton Mill was really decreasing!

Peng Yutao frowned when he saw this, and took out his phone to check the real-time news...

As his fingers continued to move up and down, his face gradually became gloomy, because he was also surprised to find that the negative news about Pingyang City on the Internet had been reduced by more than half!

Huh? I was just teasing Li Lin about his incompetence, but I didn't expect him to actually do it! Isn't this just a slap in the face?

In addition to Peng Yutao, the Standing Committee members who had just played tricks on Li Lin and Qian Lingyun also looked grim at the moment. They nervously flipped through their phone screens, and the more they looked, the more frightened they became, because it was really as Li Lin said, the negative news about Pingyang City gradually disappeared!

"Fuck, I was careless... This is so fucking embarrassing..."

Everyone felt guilty and looked up and smiled awkwardly at Qian Lingyun.

Qian Lingyun sneered and looked around at everyone, as if to say, "Laugh! Keep laughing! You are a bunch of mediocre people who only know how to sit in the office drinking tea and reading newspapers. If you have the ability, why don't you go to the province to solve this matter? And you still have the nerve to laugh at others?"

Everyone felt Qian Lingyun's oppressive gaze and lowered their heads to avoid him, remaining silent.

Peng Yutao quickly changed his attitude, clapping his hands in a pretentious manner, "Great! Once this matter is resolved, the huge mountain that weighs on our municipal party committee and government will be completely lifted! I just said that Li Lin was recommended by Mayor Qian and I. If he fails, we won't blame him. If he succeeds, we should commend him and give him the reward!"

He laughed loudly, hiding his embarrassment, and continued, "Li Lin is a trustworthy comrade. His abilities are obvious to all of us present here. Even if Mayor Qian didn't propose to promote him, I would still like to promote such a good comrade and make further use of him!"

He looked at Lin Zheng, "Minister Lin, you should hurry up and make this happen. It's best to wait until Li Lin returns to Pingyang before announcing it! We must not neglect the heroes of Pingyang!"

"Hahaha... meeting adjourned!"

After saying that, Peng Yutao got up and left. He felt awkward to sit any longer.

Everyone was surprised to see Peng Yutao's attitude change so drastically. They stood there in astonishment, a little stunned.
