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 372: Encountering a "Scalper"

Li Lin climbed out of bed when the sky turned slightly yellow.

Although it is an old house, it was later renovated and radiators were used.

I didn't feel cold at all even wearing a thin pajamas in the house.

Li Rong got up earlier than him.

As I get older, going to bed and getting up early has become commonplace.

When Li Lin finished washing up, breakfast was already on the table.

A fried egg, a bowl of rice porridge, a side dish, and two steamed buns.

The food I ate was just as simple when I was a deputy section chief. Now that I’m the county magistrate, I still eat just as simple.

Look at my colleagues in the government building, they all have three highs, fatty liver...the root cause of the disease is all due to diet.

If you eat too much greasy food and have difficulty digesting it, your internal organs will be covered with a layer of oil over time, affecting their functions and causing all kinds of diseases.

As a medical worker, Li Rong understands basic medical principles.

When she cooks for Li Lin, she always makes the dishes as light as possible.

He was only allowed meat once a week, which was just a few stewed steaks or pork ribs.

She always told Li Lin, "Eating too much meat is not good, eating too much greasy food is not good, smoking is not good, drinking is not good..."

Fortunately, Li Lin is obedient. He eats less if possible and doesn't drink if possible... This is how he has a healthy body.

After breakfast it was already half past seven.

He sat down next to the shoe cabinet at the door, took out his leather boots and brushed them carefully with a shoe brush until they were shiny.

Li Rong also taught him to pay so much attention to the cleanliness of shoes. Li Rong said that when a man goes out, he will look at his shoes. The cleaner the shoes, the more respected he is.

After putting on his shoes and a dark blue lapel cotton jacket, he turned around and said to Li Rong who was clearing the table, "Auntie, I'm leaving."

Seeing Li Rong nod at him, he pushed the door and walked out.

I don't know if Zheng Pei downstairs has been paying attention to Li Lin's movements, otherwise it wouldn't be such a coincidence that Li Lin just came down and ran into Zheng Pei locking the door...

"Good morning, Director Zheng."

Li Lin looked at Zheng Pei, who was wearing a beige coat, and greeted her with a smile.

Zheng Pei pretended to be very similar, turned around slowly, looked at Li Lin behind him with a surprised face, and said in surprise, "What a coincidence? You are also going to work? This is too coincidental..."

Is that a coincidence?

Li Lin smiled in his heart. He worked five days a week and met Zheng Pei every morning... Every morning Zheng Pei said "coincidence" with a surprised look on her face. As for whether it was true or not, only she knew it in her heart.

Li Lin did not expose her. He looked her up and down with a gentle smile on his face and joked, "You are wearing too thin clothes. Look at how much of your chest is exposed, and you are wearing stockings on your legs... It's close to zero degrees outside. The price you pay for beauty is a bit high."

Is this caring about me?

Zheng Pei felt warm inside. She smiled and took out a thick silk scarf from her bag and said, "Wouldn't it be covered if I tie a scarf on... And my legs are all thickened... Haven't you heard of the leg-exposing artifact?... You are out of date. All the beauties now dress like this."

Li Lin smiled and joked, "Now I understand what it means to be beautiful and freezing."

"It's fine as long as I'm beautiful. Anyway, I have a car to go out, the office has central air conditioning, and I have to take off my clothes when I go indoors..."

Zheng Pei giggled and reached out to hold Li Lin's arm, but as her fingers touched Li Lin's clothes, she suddenly realized that it was wrong and immediately jumped away.

Li Lin also noticed her little action, smiled and said nothing, went downstairs by himself, and soon left Zheng Pei behind.

Zheng Pei pouted and looked at Li Lin's departing back with a resentful look in her eyes. When Li Lin walked out of the building, she raised her foot to go downstairs, and felt her hands were empty. Then she suddenly remembered that she had forgotten her handbag in the house, so she opened the door again and went in to get the bag.

This bad boy Joan has recently learned to smoke.

When Li Lin walked to the gate of the community, he saw him standing in front of the car, puffing smoke.

Li Lin couldn't help but frown and couldn't help scolding him, "Are you addicted to smoking? The smoke stinks, quit it now!"

When Qiao An saw Li Lin coming out, he threw the half-smoked cigarette on the ground and stomped it out with a smile, and explained shamelessly, "Brother, I was forced to smoke... A few days ago, Liu Changzhang and Chen Xiangzhang from the township came to the city to play with me, and brought me a few cigarettes, all ordinary cigarettes. They lit them for me after drinking a little bit of wine, saying that drivers in the county all smoke, not because they like to smoke, but because people know that you smoke, so someone will give you cigarettes... I thought about it and it makes sense, brother, but you don’t know that the drivers of County Magistrate Wu and others all smoke very expensive cigarettes... I thought to myself that I am also the driver of a deputy county-level leader, and I represent your face when I go out, so my grade cannot be lower than theirs..."

"Shut up and don't listen to their nonsense. They're leading you astray." Li Lin didn't continue listening to Qiao An's nagging. He opened the car door and got in.

Qiao An also shut his mouth wisely and sat in the driver's seat with a smile.

As soon as he got in the car, he asked, "Brother, should we go to the county government first, or go directly to the approval hall?"

I took out my cell phone to check the time. It was almost eight o'clock. I guess Lou Cheng from the Discipline Inspection Commission was ready to go.

Li Lin did not answer Qiao An's question, but called Lou Cheng to ask if he had gathered.

Lou Cheng was already waiting at the gate of the Commission for Discipline Inspection for the team members to get on the bus and set off. Just then, Li Lin called and the last team member arrived. He said, "County Magistrate Li, everyone is here. Shall we go to the approval hall now?"

"Go over now, pretend to be people doing business, stand guard at the door and record all the staff who are late." Li Lin said in a deep voice.

"Okay, we'll bring all the law enforcement equipment with us, and we'll make sure to preserve the evidence."
