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 404: Unable to get off the stage

Qian Lingyun glared at Peng Yutao unceremoniously, as if to say, don't think I don't know what bad things you are thinking!

It seems that you are dealing with Li Lin, but in fact, don't you just want me to lose face in front of all the Standing Committee members?

Humph! If I, Qian Lingyun, take a step back today, you will force me into a corner in the future!

Even if I have to risk everything today, I would rather die than take a single step back!

You want to deal with Li Lin? Fine! I'll see if you have the ability to do it!

"Old Qian, if you have something to say, just say it. Why are you staring at me? What's your attitude in front of so many members of the Standing Committee?"

Peng Yutao felt a little guilty, but he still stared at Qian Lingyun. He thought, why are you staring at me? In front of so many people, how dare you hit me?

Without any warning, Qian Lingyun actually smiled.

He raised the corner of his mouth slightly, looked around at everyone present, and said slowly, "Everyone, it is true that I, Qian Lingyun, promoted Li Lin, but I will not protect him because of this. If he really made a mistake, I will take the initiative to ask the organization to deal with him! But now the matter is still in the investigation stage, and the Discipline Inspection Commission has just intervened... The facts are not clear yet, and I do not support the organizational handling of Li Lin now."

Looking at Qian Lingyun, who was speaking with great righteousness and eloquence, Peng Yutao couldn't help but smile.

I thought you had some brilliant rebuttal, that's it?

What do you mean the facts are unclear?

One dead and one paralyzed...isn't this unclear?

Peng Yutao sneered, "Mayor Qian, don't make specious arguments here. We are not stupid. The Internet is buzzing with this and the masses are calling for the relevant cadres to be punished. You are telling me now that the facts are unclear?... Based on the information we have now, Li Lin is directly responsible for this matter. Just dismissing him from his post is already a light punishment!"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the Standing Committee members in the room jumped out and echoed them.

"Mayor Qian, you have to know when to protect your child. Just like Secretary Peng said, the person is dead, and you are still fussing about the results of the investigation? When the results of the investigation come out, can the person come back to life?"

"Right is right, wrong is wrong, why are you quibbling? Secretary Peng has been very considerate. He just dismissed Li Lin from his post. If he had handed the case over to the Commission for Discipline Inspection for serious handling, it would not be too much to dismiss him from his public office!"

"That's two lives, one dead and one injured! Someone must take responsibility!... No matter what Li Lin's background is, we can't calm the public anger without dealing with him!"

"... must be dealt with seriously!..."

Everyone was talking at once, pointing the finger at Qian Lingyun, openly and covertly accusing Qian Lingyun of not managing his subordinates well and being partial and irresponsible!

Peng Yutao looked up at Qian Lingyun with a proud look, and said with a scornful smile, "Mayor Qian, look at this... the crowd is so angry! What else do you have to say? What facts do you want?"

Facing everyone's accusations, Qian Lingyun appeared unusually calm.

He knew that these Standing Committee members were not clear about the facts and were completely influenced by Peng Yutao's preconceived judgment.

At this time, Yang Heping tapped the table twice with his fingers and said to everyone in a serious tone, "Everyone, please be quiet for a moment and listen to Mayor Qian finish his words... Even if Li Lin is put on trial, he still needs someone to defend him, right?"

I saw Yang Heping take the initiative to speak up for Qian Lingyun.

Peng Yutao glanced at him with dissatisfaction and thought, Old Yang, you are quite unrestrained today. You usually don't say a word, so what's wrong with you today?

Are you doing everything you can to support your old classmate?

Humph! Even if the two of you were tied together, could you fight against so many of us?

If you don't know your own capabilities, you will bring disgrace upon yourself!

Peng Yutao laughed secretly in his heart and looked down upon Yang Heping's defection.

As the secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, Yang Heping has a certain weight among the city's standing committee members.

Even if some people were dissatisfied with what he said, no one dared to express it.

Peng Yutao also emphasized to everyone at the right time, "Old Yang is right. Let's listen to what Mayor Qian has to say first, and then everyone can express their opinions."

Gradually, the meeting room became quiet again.

Qian Lingyun's next words were like a bomb dropped into a calm lake...

He said calmly, "The Shannan County Public Security Bureau has classified the case as a criminal case, not an accident. Someone deliberately murdered Liu Zhong's family... It was just a coincidence that he fainted in the police car. It can be proved that this case has nothing to do with Li Lin."

boom!

Everyone's heads exploded and they all sat up straight with a look of disbelief on their faces.

The information they received was not as detailed and timely as Qian Lingyun's, so they all thought that this was an accident caused by Li Lin. However, Qian Lingyun's words directly overturned their understanding of the matter.

Even Peng Yutao did not get the latest information about the matter in time... At this moment, he was also confused.

"This...how is this possible? The county responded yesterday that it has been confirmed to be an accident...how did it become a criminal case?" Peng Yutao muttered to himself.

"How did it become a criminal case again? So Li Lin was wrongly accused? Isn't this too much of a coincidence?"

"Oh, someone is trying to murder Liu Zhong... and Li Lin happened to be enforcing the law..."

"In that case, Li Lin really can't be blamed..."

All the standing committee members looked at each other in bewilderment. The ones who had just been the most aggressive towards Qian Lingyun and Li Lin were now too ashamed to raise their heads.

Qian Lingyun smiled as he saw the situation turn around, and then said, "Everyone, I can't say that Li Lin has no responsibility in this matter. After all, his working method is a bit radical, but he is definitely not the main person responsible for Liu Zhong's case...

Moreover, according to the county leaders, during his tenure, Li Lin has done a great job in the work under his charge...

Do you know the situation of the approval hall in Shannan County? It was a mess, and the people were very dissatisfied. But under Li Lin's tough management, it has become well organized and is developing in a positive direction...

Doesn't this show that Li Lin is conscientious in his duties? I personally think that it is inevitable to make mistakes when doing things. For comrades who do things, we should not only not overly criticize them, but also tolerate them as much as possible, encourage them, and not discourage their enthusiasm for doing things and starting businesses!

Well, that's all I have to say. I believe you all know the facts. I believe you can make the right decision on whether to deal with Li Lin and how to deal with him! "

After saying that, Qian Lingyun sat back in his original seat, calmly unscrewed the lid of the cup and drank tea without looking at anyone.

Seeing that the expressions of the Standing Committee members suddenly changed, there was a trend of them turning against their own side at the last minute.

The advantage that Peng Yutao had just built up collapsed... He was about to achieve his goal, but it was cut off... He was unwilling to accept this!

He turned around and called his secretary over, whispering, "What's going on? The nature of the Shannan County case has changed, why hasn't anyone reported it? Call Liu Yong now and ask him to come to the Municipal Party Committee to see me right now!"

When did Liu Yong become Qian Lingyun's man? Why didn't he report any new developments to me in a timely manner?

Damn... If what Qian Lingyun said was true, not only can we not deal with Li Lin, but we also have to give Li Lin a "grievance award"?

At this moment, Peng Yutao was panicking and felt a little embarrassed.
