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...
Now that the restructuring work has been finalized, Li Lin's job has become much easier.
In the past two days, he has been accompanying Ren Jianghai and a group of senior executives of Jianghai Group to conduct on-site research at the cotton mill.
Detailed planning is needed for which factory buildings need to be repaired, how many more factory buildings should be built on the vacant land, what materials to use, how to accommodate the workers, etc.
As a government representative, Li Lin is responsible for assisting Jianghai Group in implementing its projects. Whenever they encounter any problems during the construction process, he will step forward to help coordinate and resolve them.
Ren Jianghai and Li Lin walked side by side along the tree-lined path of the cotton mill.
The autumn weather was crisp and refreshing. Ren Jianghai took a deep breath and felt more relaxed than ever before. However, he suddenly became depressed when he thought that Lu Yuanfeng was still at large.
Seeing that there was no one around, he quietly asked Li Lin, "Team Leader Li, have you read all the information? What are you going to do?"
Li Lin put his hands behind his back and walked forward while saying, "If we don't do this, it's fine. But if we do it, we have to kill him with one blow. We can't give him time to react. So it's very difficult to do. I haven't thought about it yet."
Ren Jianghai was a little discouraged and sighed with his head down.
For a moment, neither of them spoke. The withered yellow leaves fell to the ground, making a rustling sound.
"By the way, Lu may have known that you betrayed him. To prevent his revenge, I suggest that you stay in the city hotel as much as possible in the future. Leave any matters to your subordinates to prevent any accidents. I have already hinted to Mayor Qian that he will send someone to protect you 24 hours a day." Li Lin said.
Ren Jianghai shook his head nonchalantly and said, "Don't bother with that. I'm not afraid of death, and I'm even less afraid of his revenge."
Li Lin stopped, turned his head and looked at him, and said in a serious tone, "Don't you think about your family? Don't forget, your wife and daughter are waiting for you to return safely and reunite with them!"
Ren Jianghai's heart trembled, and the softest part of his heart seemed to be stabbed. Thinking of his wife in a wheelchair and his eagerly waiting daughter... he suddenly felt a sour nose.
Li Lin saw how sad he was, patted him on the shoulder and consoled him, "I'm just guessing. I hope Lu won't be so desperate as to go to the city government to retaliate against you. But it's always better to be safe than sorry."
Ren Jianghai nodded solemnly, looked at Li Lin gratefully, and said, "You are right. My family is still waiting for me to go back and reunite. The more Lu wants me to die, the more I can't let him succeed."
"You're right to think so. If something happens to you, who will support the thousands of employees in the cotton mill?" Li Lin said with a smile.
Hearing this, Ren Jianghai felt much more relaxed. He pulled the corners of his mouth and revealed a long-lost smile.
The two returned to the city hotel.
Li Lin saw Long Gang and a man standing at the door of his office waiting, so he waved at him and asked, "Captain Long, why are you here?"
Long Gang turned around and saw Li Lin and Ren Jianghai walking towards him. He quickly went up to them and said with a smile, "Brother Lin, I was ordered to come here to protect President Ren."
"Oh?" Li Lin was surprised, thinking that protecting someone wouldn't require the criminal police captain to step in person, right?
Seeing the bright smile on Long Gang's face, Li Lin seemed to see through something and said with a smile, "Okay, Mr. Ren has the protection of Team Long, so it's safe now."
Long Gang scratched his head embarrassedly, pulled Li Lin aside, and whispered, "Brother Lin, I took the initiative to ask to come here. I think I can make great contributions by following you, hehe..."
I never realized Long Gang was so naughty before. Maybe it’s because we have a closer relationship and he speaks more casually.
Li Lin smiled and said, "Captain Long, I have to criticize you for this kind of thinking. Your so-called merit is based on the threat to General Ren's life. To be honest, I don't want you to have such merit, and I don't want you to be in danger. Do you understand?"
"I understand what Brother Lin is criticizing, haha." Long Gang was serious but wanted to laugh. He changed the subject and reminded Li Lin, "Brother Lin, don't forget to treat Mayor Qian to a meal. My future work in the bureau cannot be separated from the support of local leaders."
Li Lin nodded and smiled, "I'll remember it. Let's wait until this matter is over."
...
When Wang Wu learned that his boss Ren Jianghai had completed the cooperation with the Pingyang Municipal Government, he felt that his mission was accomplished and there was no need to stay in Pingyang City any longer. He was considering reporting to Ren Jianghai and returning to the provincial capital.
After all, I haven't seen my wife and children for a few days, and I miss them very much.
Just as he took out his cell phone and was about to call Ren Jianghai, a burst of messy footsteps suddenly came from outside his room.
Judging from the sounds, there are quite a few people.
Wang Wu was wondering, this old neighborhood is mostly inhabited by elderly people, and their walking sounds are usually slow and dull... Why are there suddenly so many young people coming upstairs today?
He was a little confused, but didn't pay too much attention to it, thinking that it was probably a relative of an elderly family coming to visit.
Just as he continued to dial the phone, the footsteps stopped in front of his door, and heavy knocks were heard immediately.
Wang Wu frowned slightly. He had no relatives or friends in Pingyang, and no one knew he was staying here temporarily. Who could it be?
Curious, he walked to the door and asked loudly, "Who is it?"
A stiff voice came from outside the door, "Police, checking the household registration, open the door."
Wang Wu was even more confused. When Ren Jianghai escaped two days ago, the police came to check his household registration. Only two days had passed, and they were checking again?
Did something big happen in Pingyang? Or did his boss Ren Jianghai get into trouble and the police suspected him?
Suddenly, Wang Wu was in a state of confusion.
An impatient voice came from outside the door again, urging, "Open the door quickly, or we will break it down!"
What is coming cannot be avoided.
