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 487: Pretending with tears

Xu Yilong's mind has been full of his sister Xu Wen's request these days. How to help Li Lin return to the position of deputy county magistrate has become his top priority. He even gave full authority to his subordinates to handle the affairs of the company in Hanjiang, so that he could find time to help Li Lin... No, to be more precise, to help his dear sister. Only when Xu Wen is happy every day, he, as a brother, can feel at ease.

He drove to the Hanjiang Provincial Party Committee compound early in the morning, wanting to meet Wang Jin in person and explain Li Lin's situation to him to see how he could help him get back on track in his career. Should he be transferred to the provincial party committee? Or should Wang Jin issue an order to instruct the Pingyang Municipal Party Committee to reinstate Li Lin?

No matter what he did, this matter would cost him a lot of face...To be honest, he was somewhat reluctant. After all, face was something that would be lost every time it was used. Its value was very high, especially as the top leader of the Hanjiang Provincial Party Committee. The value of his face was immeasurable. He felt a little frustrated to use it on Li Lin, his "brother-in-law" whom he had never met.

But what can he do? His sister Xu Wen is not giving in. If he is cruel and doesn't show up, Xu Wen will definitely blame him to death.

"This silly boy... I'll make him drunk when we meet... Look how he has coaxed my sister into falling head over heels in love with him before we even get married..."

Xu Yillong got out of the car, muttering to himself, and even thought to himself, Xu Wen is quite useless. There are so many young men in Beijing, but she has to go to Hanjiang to find a stupid boy like Li Lin!

When he arrived at Wang Jin's office, he didn't see Wang Jin. Wang Jin called him and asked him to wait in the office for a while. He waited for an hour...

Xu Yillong gradually became a little restless. He thought, if you are busy, just be busy. Why don’t we just meet another day? Why do you have to make me wait for you here for more than an hour?

What are you doing? Are you kidding me?

Thinking of this, Xu Yilong lost his appetite for tea. He felt a little unhappy because he thought Wang Jin was showing off in front of him. If it wasn't for Li Lin's matter, would he be so humble in front of Wang Jin?

To put it bluntly, although he is not an official in the court, his network of connections in the capital is also amazing, especially the children of ministerial-level leaders around him, all of whom are familiar with him. When Wang Jin goes to the capital to do business, sometimes he may not be able to get things done!

Okay, you want to show off to me, right? I hope you, Wang Jin, will never ask for anything from me...

Xu Yilong stood up and was about to leave. He was also a very busy man, so how could he have the time to waste in the provincial party committee?

But what he didn't know was that Wang Jin was really busy with Lu Chengze's affairs, and the fact that he could take time out to see him showed that he valued him very much.

Just as he stood up, as luck would have it, Wang Jin pushed the door and walked in.

Seeing Xu Yilong's gloomy expression, Wang Jin smiled and said, "What's wrong, Xiaolong? Can't you sit still after waiting for your uncle for a while?... I'm not leaving you alone on purpose, I'm really busy!"

As he spoke, Wang Jin personally picked up the teapot and poured Xu Yillong a cup of tea.

Xu Yilong quickly held the teacup with both hands, feeling a little flattered. He could see that Wang Jin was really busy and that he came at a really bad time.

"Uncle Wang, you are too polite. I am just an idle person and it won't be a problem for me to wait for you for a while." Xu Yillong smiled embarrassedly.

Wang Jin poured himself a glass of water and said with a smile, "I've been busy all morning and didn't even have time to drink a sip of water."

He suddenly turned his head to look at Xu Yilong and asked, "Xiaolong, you are here for Li Lin's matter, right?"

Xu Yilong smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, it's the person I mentioned to you on the phone last time. He is a good friend of mine. For some reason, he was dismissed by Pingyang City. I wanted to come and see you, Uncle Wang, to see if he can be re-employed."

Wang Jin didn't keep the secret and said with a smile, "I know the person you are talking about... I just met him."

Um?

How could the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee know Li Lin, a deputy division-level cadre?

Have you just met?

This is... too fucking ridiculous, right?

Xu Yilong was stunned for a moment, and the smile on his face suddenly froze. He asked in an incredulous tone, "Uncle Wang, did I hear you correctly? Do you know Li Lin from Pingyang?"

Wang Jin took a sip of water and said nonchalantly, "Yes, I know him, and I know him very well!"

"Oh... very familiar... what? Very familiar?"

Xu Yilong's eyes widened in shock, wondering if Wang Jin had recognized the wrong person, so he quickly explained, "Uncle, I'm talking about the deputy county magistrate of Shannan County, Pingyang... Did you hear it wrong?"

Wang Jin smiled and said seriously, "Yes, I am also talking about Li Lin, the deputy head of Shannan County. He seems to be the only one named Li Lin in the entire Hanjiang system, right?"

Xu Yillong opened his mouth and closed it again... He was petrified on the spot... He couldn't understand why Wang Jin knew Li Lin, and why they were so familiar with each other... He was even more surprised. Since Wang Jin was so familiar with Li Lin, why did he just sit back and watch Pingyang dismiss him from his post.

Wang Jin saw Xu Yilong's confusion, so he took the initiative to say, "Xiaolong, I have arranged his affairs, so I didn't tell you so much when you called me last time. I am still very optimistic about Li Lin. Not only me, but also the people in the provincial party committee have a good impression of him! Some time ago, the province selected outstanding young people, and he was the first to go on stage to receive the award based on his strength... I personally presented him with the award, which is regarded as an expression of the provincial party committee's recognition of his ability. He is an outstanding young cadre that we focus on training!"

Is this guy the cadre that Wang Jin is training?

Is it that good?

Xu Yilong was stunned for a moment. After he reacted, he muttered to himself, was my trip to the Provincial Party Committee completely unnecessary?
