Li Lin's straightforward words made Liu Yong at a loss for words for a moment.

If I refute it immediately, I will inevitably have a conflict with Li Lin.

If you just follow others blindly, your authority will inevitably be challenged.

After a brief pause, Liu Yong smiled faintly to hide his inner panic and said, "Xiao Lin, how come your attitude has changed 180 degrees in just half a day? Didn't you say that Zhao Jie didn't meet the requirements this morning? What happened? Did the comrades in the village go to you to plead for me?"

intercede?

Liu Yong suspects that Li Lin accepted benefits from Zhao Jie!

But before Li Lin could speak, Liu Yong smiled and said, "Xiao Lin, as the Party Secretary of Weishui Township, it is okay for you to think more about your comrades in the township and strive for more benefits. However, you still have to proceed from the reality in this matter and not act on impulse. Zhao Jie in your township is too inexperienced. If you push him up, other comrades will have objections."

Liu Yong went on and on, "According to my understanding, Liu Rulin from Kaoshan Town has worked in the township for almost his entire life, and is still a deputy section chief. He lives in the township, while his wife and children live in the city. The two have been separated for more than 20 years... Whether in terms of qualifications or emotionally, he should be transferred back to the county to relax for two years."

Li Lin sat quietly, watching Liu Yong talking...

Liu Yong said, "Yang Qingbo and Niu Yatao from Hekoudian Town are both very young, just at the right age to start a business. Moreover, they have accumulated a lot of valuable experience as deputy secretaries of the Party Committee and are familiar with the people in the county. I have no objection to any of them going to the approval hall, except Zhao Jie..."

"Hey." He sighed and said awkwardly, "Xiao Lin, let me tell you the truth. After you left this morning, Minister Shen took the initiative to find me and admitted his mistake. He said that it was Zhao Jie's old father who asked him for help, and he pushed Zhao Jie up because he was soft-hearted. Minister Shen himself said that Zhao Jie did not meet the requirements at all!"

Hearing this, Li Lin smiled.

Of course he knew that Zhao Jie's father gave Shen Zhifei 100,000 yuan, which was why he was recommended.

But later his father took the money back from Shen Zhifei. You can imagine how much Shen Zhifei hated Zhao Jie and his son. It's no wonder that he suddenly turned against them, took the initiative to admit his mistake to Liu Yong, and withdrew Zhao Jie's recommendation.

"Xiao Lin, this is the fact. We still have to put the overall situation first. Let's put Zhao Jie's matter aside for now. He is still very young. It won't be too late to promote him once he has accumulated enough experience." Liu Yong said earnestly.

Being young does not mean having poor abilities. Young people are passionate and motivated, and as long as they are placed in the right positions, they will definitely be able to do a good job!

Besides, what level of skills is required to do those jobs in the county?

All you need is some junior high school education, the spirit to run a business, and the ability to put on airs a bit!

The most annoying thing is that the county leaders always say someone is too young and needs to practice for a few more years...

Is that because of work?

That's because the line of cadres waiting to be promoted in the county is a bit long, and it's impossible for a young man like you to cut in line.

Unless you have special connections, like Li Lin, the county can't stop you even if they want to.

Otherwise, just stand in line!

Liu Yong just thinks Zhao Jie is not honest enough. There are a lot of deputy section-level cadres in their forties in the county. How can you think of becoming the head of a county-level unit in your twenties? Why don't you do it?

Li Lin smiled and nodded, seemingly agreeing with Liu Yong's words, but he refuted as soon as he opened his mouth, "Secretary, do you think that people who have been in the village for half their lives still have the courage to offend others? If they don't dare to offend people, how can they manage the dozens of window units in the approval hall?"

"Our county doesn't lack old hands like Hu Zhiquan, who laughs at everyone he sees and always puts his own interests first. What we lack are young, energetic cadres who dare to turn the tables. Secretary Liu, the discipline problem in the approval hall has reached a point where it must be dealt with. If it is delayed any longer and something goes wrong, you and County Magistrate Ma might be implicated."

Li Lin is not exaggerating on this point. In recent years, the superiors have put increasingly strict requirements on window units in various regions. Wherever there is a problem, the top two in command cannot escape the blame for dereliction of duty.

Liu Yong was silent, lowering his eyes in deep thought...

If the chaotic management of the approval hall is exposed, he, as the top leader, will be to blame!

But can this problem be solved by simply replacing two young cadres?

Not necessarily!

Liu Yong wanted to refute, but considering that Li Lin mentioned the sensitive figure "Hu Zhiquan" again, he was hesitant and did not want to continue discussing this topic in depth.

So, he said, "Xiao Lin, I support the old and strong faction, and you support the young and strong faction. We won't reach a conclusion if we continue to discuss. How about this, I will call Minister Shen over, and the three of us will combine our opinions and discuss in depth, and try to decide on the candidate today."

Before the fight started, Liu Yong felt that he had been defeated because of Hu Zhiquan, so he thought of looking for help.

Shen Zhifei is undoubtedly his best helper now. He is the head of the organization department and he recommended the list. His words on this matter are convincing. Most importantly, Shen Zhifei and Liu Yong do not agree to promote Zhao Jie. They both have the same stance.

Looking for help?

Li Lin chuckled. He had expected Liu Yong to do this.

You can find someone, but I can't?

He immediately suggested, "In this case, let County Magistrate Ma come over, and the three of you can discuss and complete the team as soon as possible. The matter of the approval hall cannot be delayed any longer."

Liu Yong frowned, but there was nothing wrong with Li Lin's proposal. He couldn't just directly refuse Ma Qingyuan's participation in the discussion. After all, the approval hall was under the jurisdiction of the county government, and Ma Qingyuan also had a say.
