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...
Li Lan still smiled and nodded, then pushed the door open and walked in...
There was a man standing in the room, wearing a well-ironed suit and with a tall stature. This was the chief's confidential secretary, Cheng Wei.
And the person sitting behind the huge mahogany desk was the leader.
He was seen sitting upright, with his chin on one hand, looking at Li Lan with interest.
Li Lan hurriedly took two steps forward, stood at attention in front of the chief, nodded slightly, and said respectfully, "Chief, I am here to report to you about the recent situation of the Han River."
The chief looked calm and did not speak immediately.
Cheng Wei and Li Lan stood with their heads down, not daring to look directly at the emperor. The atmosphere in the room was quiet and tense.
After a moment, the chief slowly spoke, his majesty fully revealed, "What happened?!"
Hearing the chief's voice, Li Lan's fingers, which were tightly clasped in his trouser seams, loosened slightly, but his body remained upright as he spoke word by word, "I just received news from Han Jiang about..."
Li Lan turned her head and glanced at Cheng Wei who was standing beside her. Without the permission of the leader, she didn't know whether the news about Li Lin could be revealed to a third person.
"Is it about Li Lin?" the leader suddenly spoke.
Li Lan's heart trembled, and he looked at Cheng Wei beside him curiously.
It seems that Cheng Wei, like himself, is also a close confidant of the leader.
Li Lan was relieved, nodded slightly, and said again, "Chief, Li Lin is in a bad situation. All forces seem to be targeting him... Qian Lingyun just called and said that the Pingyang Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection is preparing to investigate Li Lin... I am worried... Chief, send me back to Hanjiang. I will make those who try to hurt Li Lin suffer the consequences. Chief, I have learned from the previous lessons. This time, I will not be careless again..."
Speaking of Li Lin's experience, Li Lan seemed very worried and kept asking to be transferred back to Hanjiang to protect Li Lin.
But after seeing the chief's expression gradually tighten, Li Lan swallowed the rest of his words and dared not say them out loud.
"snort!"
The air suddenly froze.
The chief slowly stood up and walked to the window.
He raised his head slightly, looked at a redwood tree in the yard that had lived for hundreds of years, and fell into a brief contemplation.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and the muscles at the corners of his mouth gradually tightened. When he opened his eyes again, his sharpness was fully revealed!
Li Lan and Cheng Wei looked at the leader's back nervously.
All I heard was a deep sound, like a dragon's roar.
"Cheng Wei, you will go to Hanjiang tomorrow to take up the position of Minister of Propaganda of the Provincial Party Committee."
"Li Lan, you stay in Yanjing. I have something else I need you to do!"
Ah? Stay in Yanjing?
Chief, do you no longer trust her?
Li Lan's heart sank to the bottom, and for some reason, tears welled up in his eyes.
Cheng Wei's eyes were firm, and he nodded respectfully and agreed, "Yes, I will definitely live up to the expectations of the leader."
Li Lan also responded in a low voice, "Yes...Commander..."
Li Lan felt dizzy after walking out of the chief's office. She felt like she had been walking for a long time in the corridor, but there was no end in sight... She was careless and confused...
Until the guard at the door reminded, "Minister Li, be careful on the steps..."
She was suddenly startled and came to her senses.
She sighed and said self-deprecatingly, "Yes, I have put Li Lin in danger time and time again before... As a sister and a guardian, I have not done my job well at all, so it is understandable that the leader has abandoned me."
She slowly walked along the corridor, crossed the bridge, went around the rockery, and disappeared into a moon gate...
Li Lin's father, also known as the leader in the eyes of Li Lan.
At this time, he slowly turned around and looked at Cheng Wei who was standing upright.
Ask him, "Is everything deployed?"
Cheng Wei nodded and said, "Yes, Chief, they have been deployed in place in advance."
The chief clenched his hands behind his back into fists and said coldly, "Only after protecting Li Lin and the people around him can we take action against the tiger in Hanjiang."
"Cheng Wei, I have to tell you one thing, if you don't move, it's nothing, but if you move, it will determine the outcome!"
"Follow the chief's instructions!"
