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 496 Suddenly Missing Someone

At this time, Li Lin smiled at everyone and said, "You leaders trust me so much and support me so much, how can I refuse... Even if I hit my head, I have to push forward under the pressure."

Seeing Li Lin decisively agree, Wang Jin smiled knowingly and said, "Okay, it's settled."

Then he looked at Chen Guofu and Pei Yulin and ordered, "Old Chen and Old Pei, don't delay things, hurry up and assign people to Li Lin!"

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away."

Chen Guofu and Pei Yulin stood up one after another, nodded and agreed to arrange personnel for Li Lin.

After the meeting, Cheng Wei took Li Lin to his office.

The two sat opposite each other, and Cheng Wei diligently added tea to Li Lin.

Li Lin was a little flattered and said with a smile, "Minister Cheng, I can do it myself. You are too polite."

Cheng Wei smiled, not only did he not stop pouring the tea, but he held the cup with both hands and handed it to Li Lin, "You are now a hero of Hanjiang. Secretary Wang is so polite to you, so of course I, the Minister of Propaganda, must treat you with courtesy."

Seeing this, Li Lin no longer hesitated, took the teacup calmly and took a sip. Putting down the teacup, he looked up and asked Cheng Wei, "Now that the big tigers have been caught, what about those small flies? Why hasn't the provincial party committee taken any action?"

Cheng Wei nodded slowly and said, "This question is a bit complicated. Secretary Wang meant to "catch the head first and then the tail". If the heads like Lu Chengze are strangled to death, wouldn't the remaining "bodies" become dead objects? We can deal with them at any time. In addition, the news of Lu Chengze's arrest has spread like wildfire. In a short period of time, it may cause a storm in the Han River, which is not conducive to the stability of the situation. It will not be too late to deal with those minions after the overall situation is stabilized."

"Well, I also thought of this result. The large-scale handling of cadres now may cause panic among the people, which is not conducive to the stability of the overall situation. What about the cadres implicated? Do they have any plans for their next destination, the Provincial Party Committee?" Li Lin asked.

Cheng Wei smiled and nodded, saying, "You want to ask about the provincial party committee's arrangements for Qian Lingyun and Long Gang, right? ... Oh, and about you... Let me tell you this, the provincial party committee has already considered the affected cadres, and you will definitely be reused in the next step. As for where you will be placed, no conclusion has been reached yet... If Qian Lingyun and the others ask you, just pretend you don't know. After all, the organization's arrangements are strictly confidential, so as to avoid disappointment if the final result is unsatisfactory."

Li Lin was just testing Cheng Wei's attitude, but he didn't expect that he would be completely defenseless and directly reveal the confidential information. It can be seen that Cheng Wei, like Li Lan, is a person who is worthy of trust and entrustment.

At this moment, Li Lin felt warm in his heart. He felt that he was not fighting alone. There was always someone silently supporting and holding him up behind him... This made him feel very secure.

"Where is Sister Lan? Have you been in touch recently? Why... I can't get in touch with her? I had been planning to go to Yanjing to visit her before the New Year, but now I don't even know her work and address. Director Cheng, can you tell me something? What kind of secret work is Sister Lan doing?" Li Lin finally couldn't help but ask the question he wanted to ask the most.

After Li Lan went to work at Yenching, the contact between the two gradually became less and less, until recently, they could not contact each other at all. Because of this, he was lost for a while and felt like he was abandoned.

He had also taken the initiative to ask Hou Yaodong and Song Siyao about this question...but the answer they got was that they couldn't contact Li Lan either!

Li Lin could only choose to accept this result. He only hoped that Li Lan would suddenly appear in Hanjiang one day, and say to Li Lin with a smile like before, "Xiao Lin, sister is back..."

His feelings towards Li Lan were very complicated and difficult to describe. It was probably because he had been lacking family affection since childhood, and suddenly he had a sister who took care of him so much, and he cherished her so much.

Cheng Wei covered his mouth and coughed twice to hide his panic. Although he had thought of a good story to tell, when he really faced Li Lin, he didn't know how to start. He was worried that his acting skills were too poor and Li Lin would see through him, and he was also worried that his tone was too decisive and hurt Li Lin's heart.

After a long while, Cheng Wei took a sip of tea, smiled calmly and said, "Xiao Lin, Lan Lan is doing well now, but because of the special working environment, it is often inconvenient for her to make or receive phone calls. I often cannot contact her, and may only call her once or twice a year or two. There is nothing I can do, work is more important... But don't worry, if it is convenient for her, she will take the initiative to contact you, and may even return to Hanjiang to meet you... So be patient and wait, your sister Lan will not forget you, otherwise she would not have specifically asked me to take good care of you."

Another ambiguous answer.

Li Lin's eyes instantly lost their luster and dimmed. He whispered, "I miss Sister Lan. The noodles she made were delicious, and the tea she brewed was also delicious. After she left, I never had noodles that were so delicious again."

Cheng Wei paused when the tea reached his lips, and he stood there in a daze.
