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 56: Disharmony between the Secretary and the Township Head

"Secretary Li, Mayor Yang, this is what happened. The higher-ups are closely following up on the illegal residential land of Lu Yuming's second uncle. It has reached the point where it must be demolished."

"You two decide what to do about this matter. Should we demolish it or not? I'll be at your disposal."

Wang Changhai calmly reported the illegal construction of Lu Yu Ming's second uncle to Li Lin and Yang Ping.

Inwardly, I couldn't wait to see how the two of them would disagree.

Lu Yu Ming's family is very large and has some influence in both the political and business circles of Shannan County.

Mr. Lu, Lu Yu Ming's father, had served as Party Secretary of Weishui Township and Vice Chairman of the Shannan County CPPCC. He later retired from the position of CPPCC Chairman.

He did not sit idle after retirement. Instead, he relied on his prestige in Shannan County to contact a large group of retired section-level and deputy-division-level cadres.

He formed a "Philanthropists Association" and obtained funding from many local businessmen and even support from the county's finances.

To this day, at the age of over 70, he is still active in both the political and business circles of Shannan County.

It was also because of Mr. Lu’s influence in Shannan County that when Lu Yu Ming made a mistake, Liu Yong not only did not investigate him strictly at the first time, but instead gave him a chance to reform.

Later, if Li Lan had not pursued him closely and Peng Yutao had not given the order personally, Liu Yong would still not have dared to touch Lu Yu Ming easily.

Lujia Village is Lu Yuming’s hometown.

His second uncle Lu Tianen has been the village party secretary for more than 30 years, and Mr. Lu’s status and position in the county endorse him.

Lu Tianen, in Lujia Village, his words are as good as gold!

As long as he gives an order, men, women, young and old in Lujia Village will respond positively.

Therefore, demolishing his house is not difficult, but simply impossible!

Li Lin had also heard about these situations.

Yang Ping knows it in great detail.

She sighed and spoke first, "Li Lin, the Lu family's house cannot be demolished. I think we should go to the higher-ups to use our connections to suppress this matter."

Why can't it be demolished? Li Lin frowned slightly and looked at Yang Ping seriously.

In recent years, as the land department has increased its supervision on the use of cultivated land, Weishui Township has to demolish dozens of illegal buildings every year.

Which one of them is not the result of the hard work of ordinary people? Their houses can be demolished, but Lu’s house cannot be demolished?

Do the ordinary people whose houses have been demolished agree?

Where is the government's credibility when it treats people differently based on their situation?

"Village Chief Yang, can you tell me a reason not to demolish it?" Li Lin's face was cold, and even when facing Yang Ping, he was still full of oppression.

Feeling Li Lin's serious gaze, Yang Ping's heart trembled, and she immediately understood that this was not just a private conversation between two people behind closed doors, this was work!

She immediately changed her attitude, looking a little panicked, "Oh, Secretary Li, what I mean is that for the stability of the entire Weishui Township, this matter cannot be rushed, otherwise it will bring a lot of trouble to the township."

Her subtext is actually that if we mess with the Lu family, we will be in trouble.

If you are afraid of trouble, why the hell do you think you are a township official?

Li Lin was disdainful and somewhat disappointed with Yang Ping's performance.

This woman who always boasted about her strong family background still backed down when facing the local powerful people!

Is this your reason? Li Lin looked at her coldly, "Village Chief Yang, my opinion is exactly the opposite of yours. I think that if we do not enforce the law impartially in this matter, it will have a great impact on the stability of Weishui Township.

Just imagine, when the people whose illegal buildings were demolished before know that we are protecting the Lu family, what will they think? Will they go to the government to ask for an explanation? If the word spreads, everyone will come to the township government to ask for an explanation, what should we do? "

Yang Ping was dumbfounded. He never expected that Li Lin would be so tough and uncompromising towards him.

Wang Changhai sat quietly by the side, smoking silently without expressing any opinion. He watched the dispute between the two people about to become increasingly heated, and felt secretly delighted.

He couldn't help but sigh that Liu Ming was a man who understood human nature and was very good at judging people!

Using this incident to intensify the conflict between Li and Yang really had an immediate effect!

Yang Ping stared at the serious Li Lin for two seconds. In fact, she did this entirely for Li Lin's sake.

Not only did he bring down Lu Yu Ming, but now that he has just become the Party Secretary, it would have been fine if he didn't go to visit Old Man Lu, but now he is actually going to offend them?

Li Lin and Yang Ping were well aware of the Lu family's influence in Shannan County. With Li Lin's current foundation, he was no match for them.

At the very least, you’ll be reported and embarrassed in the county, at the worst, you’ll be forced to step down immediately!

Yang Ping didn't want to see Li Lin in such danger, so she suggested suppressing the matter.

However, she ultimately underestimated Li Lin's determination.

She was a little angry.

His face darkened, he looked directly at Li Lin and said, "Yes, those common people surrounded the township government and it is difficult for us to deal with them.

But have you ever thought about it, there are only dozens of households in the whole township whose illegal buildings have been demolished, while Lujia Village has more than 700 households!

When the bulldozer arrives, it will be blocked by the villagers of Lujia Village without any unexpected incident.

If the forced demolition succeeds, hundreds of people will be blocking the door of your Secretary Li’s office the next day!

Hundreds of old, weak, women and children surrounded you, Secretary Li, and scolded you. What would you do? "

Yang Ping was a little excited, and her voice unconsciously rose several degrees.

Wang Changhai smiled secretly in his heart, let’s fight! The more intense the better!

Li Lin was a little surprised. He saw some grievance in Yang Ping's eyes.

But he did not hesitate.

Because if he hesitated for a moment at this moment, he would be defeated!

He immediately retorted, "Village Chief Yang, I understand your feelings."
