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 306 Meeting

Shannan County Government Building.

Zheng Pei packed up and arrived at the office early.

As soon as I entered the government building, I saw several colleagues standing in the lobby, staring at the notice posted on the pillar and talking.

"Good morning, Director Zheng."

"Good morning, what are you looking at?" Zheng Pei said with a smile.

"Oh, Weishui Township Party Secretary Li Lin has been promoted to deputy county chief. Check out the notice that has just been posted. Hey, I didn't expect that County Chief Li is only in his twenties..."

Li Lin?

Zheng Pei was stunned.

Although she usually pays attention to Li Lin's news, Li Lin has been in the city recently and she knows little about his current situation. She didn't expect that he would be promoted to deputy county magistrate so quickly.

She was very surprised. In the history of Shannan County, there had never been a precedent of promoting a party secretary after serving for only half a year. There was no doubt that Li Lin had once again set a historical precedent.

According to the regulations and relevant provisions, the following comrades are now being publicly announced for appointment by the county party committee. Li Lin, male, Han nationality, 26 years old, member of the Communist Party of China... is to be appointed as deputy county magistrate of Shannan County Government.

I walked to the pillar and looked up at the content on the notice...I felt complicated.

She was happy, really happy for Li Lin. She knew that Li Lin was not someone who could stay in the pond and would soar into the sky sooner or later.

But she also felt inexplicably lost. The gap between them was not that big before, one was a deputy section chief and the other a full section chief. Now Li Lin is two levels higher than her. If she still wants to be with him, would people think she is marrying above her station?

Forget it. It’s a happy thing anyway. After the announcement, Li Lin should have returned from the city. Let’s find a chance to meet and talk.

She thought so in her heart, bit her lips twice, turned her head and prepared to go upstairs, and happened to bump into someone's arms. She looked up apologetically, and after seeing who it was, she immediately showed a trace of disgust on her face...

"I'm sorry, County Magistrate Jiang, I didn't mean it." Zheng Pei said apologetically with her head down.

Jiang Weihua smiled and said, "It's okay. I actually hope you bumped into me on purpose. Hehe, it's my honor to bump into our county beauty..."

"I'm sorry, I'm going to be late for work. Goodbye." Zheng Pei didn't want to listen to him anymore, so she turned around and walked upstairs after saying that.

Jiang Weihua stood there in a daze, watching Zheng Pei's back as she left, his eyes grim. He thought, how could this woman be so ungrateful, relying on her beauty? What's the point of being pretty? Isn't the greatest value of a beautiful woman to make a man happy?

"Hmph, just wait, I will slowly make you surrender!" Jiang Weihua sneered secretly.

At this time, more and more people were coming to work, and Jiang Weihua couldn't stay in the hall for a long time because he had to keep greeting his colleagues, which was very annoying.

He just glanced at the notice posted on the pillar, and when he saw Li Lin's name, a trace of contempt and viciousness immediately appeared at the corner of his mouth.

When he went up to the office on the third floor, his assistant, or secretary, came over and told him that County Mayor Ma had just notified that a government team meeting would be held at 9:30 in the west conference room on the third floor.

Jiang Weihua asked, "Did you say anything?"

The secretary said, "I heard that the new deputy county chief has returned, so there should be a meeting."

"Okay, I understand."

Jiang Weihua sent his secretary away, pushed open the door and walked into his office. Hearing that Li Lin was coming soon, he lost the mood to drink tea. He stood in front of the window and stared at the people coming and going downstairs in a daze...

Qiao An drove a black business car and took Li Lin into the government compound.

The security guard at the gate didn't recognize the car, so he stopped it and asked him whether he was coming to work or to do some business.

Qiao An was very friendly. He rolled down the window and handed a cigarette to the security guard. He said politely, "You will work here from now on. Please write down my license plate number so you don't have to ask me next time."

The security guard was completely confused, wondering if what Qiao An said was credible...

"We don't have the right to record license plates. You have to go to the government office to handle it. Okay, go in quickly and find an empty seat. Listen carefully. You must leave a phone number on the car so that we can notify you to move the car at any time..."

Qiao An smiled brightly and agreed repeatedly, "Okay, okay, there's a phone call in the car, bye..."

As the car drove in, Qiao An happily said to Li Lin in the back seat, "Brother, from now on I'll be considered a member of the county government. Haha, I'm the driver of the deputy county magistrate, hahaha..."

Li Lin didn't have the heart to hit him, so he smiled calmly and said, "The government has a driver class. Let's see if we can transfer your work relationship to the government... If we can't, then you can only get paid by the township now."

It's not appropriate to arrange for someone to come in before he takes office. Li Lin actually wanted to tell Qiao An that the salary is the same wherever you get it, and the amount will not change. There is no need to force the relationship to be transferred to the county government...

Qiao An thought Li Lin was just being modest and said with a smile, "Brother, you are the deputy county chief now. The government office is the department that serves you, right? How can they not listen to you? Brother, I won't rush you. Just do it yourself."

Li Lin laughed, "Okay, I'll see what I can do. I'll transfer you here when the opportunity arises...By the way, aren't you dating Cui Xinyu now? If you come to the county, is it appropriate for her to stay in the village alone?"

"It's okay. I'll find time to go back and see her more often. She's very considerate and will definitely understand me." Qiao An said with a smile.

Judging from the voice, the two are making good progress.

Li Lin then instructed him, "Since you two get along well, you should meet each other's parents and settle the marriage."

"Well, we are also planning it...but if we get married now..." Joan parked the car and hesitated to speak.
