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 609: Big Pie

Looking at Wan Zhenting and the others who were servile and cautious, Gao Lingyue felt extremely proud.

This was exactly the effect he wanted. Through blunt criticism, he wanted to demonstrate his authority as a Beijing official in front of Wan Zhenting.

After all, he is someone that provincial and ministerial leaders have to greet in person, and these municipal-level officials are not worthy of having self-respect in front of him.

Gao Lingyue did not follow Wan Zhenting's suggestion to go to the Municipal Public Security Bureau for a "visit", but asked Wan Zhenting to take him to the hotel where they were staying first.

The best hotel in Pingyang is the "Dongsheng"... Wan Zhenting often stays and eats there... This time, to welcome the big leader from Yanjing, it is natural to have a high-level reception.

Arrived at Dongsheng Hotel.

Gao Lingyue just looked up at the sign, a complex light flashed in his eyes, and without stopping for too long, he followed Wan Zhenting upstairs to the suite.

Arrived at the luxury suite.

Gao Lingyue sat down on the sofa in the living room as if no one was around.

Wan Zhenting ordered his followers to make tea for Gao Lingyue...

When the little follower was boiling water seriously, Gao Lingyue suddenly spoke.

He said, "Lao Wan, please ask your men to leave first. I have something to say to you."

Wan Zhenting quickly agreed and raised his hand to signal his follower to wait outside the door. He then took the teapot from the follower and diligently boiled water.

After brewing a cup of tea, Wan Zhenting held it in both hands and brought it to Gao Lingyue, smiling flatteringly, "Director Gao, this is the new tea this year, please try it and see if it suits your taste."

Gao Lingyue didn't care whether the tea was good or not at this time. He was always thinking about how to help Zhai Yuhan release Zhao Chengyi and the other two.

But in order to save some face for Wan Zhenting, he still took the teacup, took a sip, nodded and said, "Not bad, it leaves a lingering fragrance on your lips and teeth!"

Upon hearing the compliment, Wan Zhenting quickly said, "I've prepared a big bag for you and will put it in your car later..."

Gao Lingyue smiled and nodded, tacitly agreeing. Because he knew that Wan Zhenting was going to put more than just tea leaves in his car...

Accepting it means accepting Wan Zhenting. The two of them can communicate more directly.

Wait until Wan Zhenting sat down on the sofa opposite him.

Gao Lingyue then got back to the point and said in a serious tone, "Old Wan, I'll be frank with you. Three of my friends were arrested by your Shannan police. Find a way to release them."

Wan Zhenting had known about this matter in advance. Logically speaking, as long as the victim no longer pursued the matter, this type of case could be resolved into a minor one...but the difficulty lay in the fact that this incident happened in Shannan County...Li Lin was keeping a close eye on this case!

Wan Zhenting knew Li Lin's temper very well, and also knew that he had a strong background so he didn't dare to offend him easily.

So, he sighed and said to Gao Lingyue helplessly, "Director Gao, it's not that I'm refusing, it's just that this matter... is difficult!"

Hearing this, Gao Lingyue frowned and asked, "How difficult is it to do such a small thing? Can't you just call the person in charge of the county bureau and explain it to them?"

Wan Zhenting was afraid that Gao Lingyue would misunderstand that he was unwilling to help, so he patiently explained, "Director Gao, you don't know that the comrades in our team can communicate very well, but...but the mayor of Shannan County is keeping an eye on this matter. If he doesn't give in, it will be difficult for the comrades in the county bureau to deal with it!"

The county magistrate of Shannan County?

Why would a county magistrate pay attention to the affairs of the Public Security Bureau instead of focusing on the county economy?

Gao Lingyue was puzzled. He frowned and pondered for a moment, then asked, "Who is this county magistrate? Why is he so concerned about other people's affairs?"

Wan Zhenting then explained, "He is the local county magistrate and also a special commissioner of the provincial department. He has the power to supervise the local public security system... So... even I don't dare to confront him. He can report directly to Governor Pei..."

"Oh? That's no wonder... I thought... He is half an insider of our system... Heh..." Gao Lingyue said with a disdainful smile, "What's so great about him being able to report to Governor Pei? Governor Pei is also very polite to me. I don't believe that he, a small county magistrate, dares to look down on me?"

Wan Zhenting slapped his thigh and praised excitedly, "How dare he ignore you? He wouldn't dare to do that even if he had a hundred guts... It's just that we have to give him face in the local area, so it's not that I don't want to help you, but because Li Lin is there to block it, it's not easy for me to intervene. If he complains about me to Governor Pei, I will lose my job as the director of the Municipal Bureau!"

Gao Lingyue looked at Wan Zhenting's cowardly look, smiled and comforted him, "What are you afraid of? If you are not the director in Pingyang, can I transfer you to Yanjing? If not, transfer you to another province... With my support, who can stop your future?"

Hearing this, Wan Zhenting's eyes lit up. He knew that Gao Lingyue was in charge of personnel work in the Yanjing department, and he was absolutely capable of transferring a city bureau director to Yanjing to take up the post. So when he heard Gao Lingyue's promise, Wan Zhenting was extremely excited. It's not that he hadn't thought about taking up a higher-level position, even if it was just a nominal position, and then being sent to a provincial department after a two-year transition. Maybe it would be the role of Wu Chengzhu!

If he hadn't had the support of a noble person, Wan Zhenting would probably have to work as the director of the Municipal Bureau until retirement. After all, the higher you go, the narrower the road becomes and the greater the competition becomes. Without a strong backer, it would be impossible to squeeze in.

Obviously, as long as he can grasp the situation well, Gao Lingyue will be the noble person who will help him!

Wan Zhenting did not hesitate and immediately said, "Director Gao, I feel relieved after hearing what you said. Don't worry, I will definitely find a way to help you release these three people, even if it means offending Li Lin and his superiors!"

Of course, this was just what Wan Zhenting said casually to please Gao Lingyue... If he really had to offend his immediate superior, he wouldn't dare to do it even if he was beaten to death!

However, Gao Lingyue was very pleased to hear these words, and a smile immediately appeared on his face. He felt that he had already controlled Director Wan in front of him.

In his mind, these days, there is no "business" that cannot be negotiated, or the pie you draw is not big enough!

In order to let Wan Zhenting work for him with peace of mind, Gao Lingyue said heroically, "Don't worry, you won't suffer any loss if you follow me. Tomorrow, you take me to the county bureau to see my three friends. I will explain to the director of the county bureau in person how to deal with this matter, so that you won't be embarrassed."

Wan Zhenting was overjoyed to hear that he didn't have to take the lead, and quickly agreed, "Okay, I'll take you to the county bureau tomorrow morning. By the way, Director Gao, we'll have dinner at this hotel tonight, what do you think... Is there anything special that needs to be prepared for your taste? I'll ask my men to arrange it..."

Gao Lingyue didn't care about these things. After all, he had traveled all over the world and had seen and eaten everything. There was really nothing in Pingyang that he cared about.

So, he said calmly, "No need to prepare anything specially, just eat whatever is available, I am not very particular about this."

This is a good opportunity to curry favor with the leader, how could Wan Zhenting miss it?

He said solemnly, "You have come here with great difficulty, how can you be so casual? I will tell the hotel to pick the best dishes!"

Gao Lingyue said nothing and acquiesced again.
