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 615 I Believe in You

It is common for leaders to throw gifts. This happens especially when asking for favors. Some unfamiliar people think that giving gifts to leaders will make things easier. In fact, leaders will never accept any gifts unless they are acquaintances. Some shameless businessmen keep contacting leaders and giving them gifts in order to achieve certain goals. Finally, when the leaders are annoyed, they will throw all your gifts out of the house in front of you.

It has to be said that today's leaders are more aware and are unwilling to ruin their political future for a little benefit.

But Gao Lingyue throwing the gift was another matter. On the one hand, he wanted to vent his dissatisfaction with the Shannan County officials, and on the other hand, he wanted to make his attitude clear and tell Li Lin that he had offended the wrong person!

All of this was seen by Li Lin who was standing upstairs. He watched it all with a smile, secretly cursing Niu Jianbin for his lack of tact. At the same time, he was extremely disdainful of Director Gao Lingyue's behavior.

Li Lin's arrogance comes from the confidence given by the common people, while Gao Lingyue's arrogance comes from arrogance and tyranny!

He thinks he is superior to others because he is a leader from the capital, and everyone has to look up to him when he gets to the local place?

He is the truly arrogant one!

As the saying goes, there will be a day when one will be punished for his arrogance. It seems that Gao Lingyue's high days are coming to an end!

As Li Lin was thinking this, Niu Jianbin pushed the door open and walked in, panting.

As soon as he entered the door, he sighed repeatedly and complained, "County Magistrate Li, look at what has happened... How can I go to the city to see Director Wan in the future? Won't our county bureau have a hard time in the future?"

Li Lin frowned and asked, "Why? Do you also agree to release Zhao Chengyi?"

Niu Jianbin was stunned for a moment, and quickly explained, "No... It's just that it's not worth offending Director Wan and Director Gao because of such a thing!"

Not worth it?

Li Lin pointed at his head and asked, "As public officials, are we serving the people or the high-ranking officials above us?"

Niu Jianbin knew he had said something wrong, so he lowered his head and whispered, "Of course... the interests of the masses are above all else..."

"It's good that you know!"

Li Lin criticized him without any hesitation.

But for the sake of the next work, he softened his tone and said, "I understand your concern. Aren't you afraid that Director Wan will make things difficult for you? In my opinion, Director Wan is not such a petty person!"

Li Lin felt a little disgusted when he said this. Since Wan Zhenting withheld the special commissioner's credentials last time, he knew that this old guy was not a gentleman.

But in order to make Niu Jianbin work with peace of mind and make the Zhao Chengyi case a solid one, he had to say a few words against his will.

Niu Jianbin also felt that it was a bit funny to say that Wan Zhenting was a magnanimous person, but seeing Li Lin's serious expression, even if he had different opinions in his heart, he could only bear it and stand still and listen to the lecture.

Li Lin continued, "Secretary Niu, you have served Shannan County for so many years and have made contributions. Our comrades in the county have all witnessed this. As long as you stick to your post and do what you should do, I will do my best to ensure that you receive the treatment you deserve."

Get a slap in the face and then a candy.

Leaders use tricks.

But today, Niu Jianbin felt very warmed by Li Lin's attitude. He thought Li Lin had long since stopped trusting him, but now it seems that is not the case. Li Lin is truly a generous person who is tolerant. Even though he had offended Li Lin before, Li Lin was still able to speak for him and protect his interests at critical moments.

Niu Jianbin was a little touched. He looked up at Li Lin, his lips trembling slightly as he said, "County Magistrate Li, is what you said true?"

Li Lin nodded without hesitation, "Handle Zhao Chengyi's case well. If anyone dares to interfere or make things difficult for you, I will go directly to the province to find Governor Pei and Director Wu to speak for you!"

Niu Jianbin nodded heavily, with a light flashing in his eyes, "Don't worry, County Magistrate Li, I will definitely fulfill my mission... First of all, I want to apologize to you. Zhao Chengyi promised me some benefits before, and I was also bewildered at the time and spoke for him... But your words have alerted me. The long-term peace and stability of our county is hard-won. As a law enforcer, I must stick to the bottom line and resolutely fight criminals to the end... County Magistrate Li, I will not let the people down!"

Li Lin nodded with satisfaction, gave him an affirmative look, and said, "I believe you can handle the case impartially!"

After Li Lin left.

Niu Jianbin paced alone in the reception room for a few steps. After weighing all the pros and cons, he finally made up his mind to investigate the Zhao Chengyi case as Li Lin said!

He was aware of the relationship between Li Lin and the provincial department and knew that Li Lin was not bragging. Moreover, Wan Zhenting was as obedient as a kitten in front of Li Lin today, without any of his previous arrogant look. This was enough to show that Wan Zhenting was also afraid of Li Lin's strength... In this case, with Li Lin's support, what was there to be afraid of?

He immediately called Wu Xiongfei and asked him, "How is the investigation of Zhao Chengyi's case going?"

Wu Xiongfei thought Niu Jianbin wanted to use his leadership power to interfere with his handling of the case, so he said vaguely with a cold face, "It's still under investigation..."

Niu Jianbin criticized him, "The progress is too slow! This is not like your style! Just now, County Magistrate Li Lin repeatedly told us to quickly verify the evidence of Zhao Chengyi and others' crimes... If it doesn't work, I will send you another team of people. You will work in three shifts to collect all the evidence as soon as possible and hand it over to the procuratorate for sentencing!"

"Secretary Niu...what are you doing? Are you serious?"

Wu Xiongfei felt incredible about Niu Jianbin's sudden change in attitude. He was clearly trying to negotiate for Zhao Chengyi yesterday, so why did he seem so impatient to kill Zhao Chengyi today?

Niu Jianbin said unhappily, "How can I joke about such a rigorous case? I know you are surprised, but I don't have time to explain to you. I just want to listen to County Magistrate Li Lin and let Zhao Chengyi and others face legal sanctions as soon as possible! I will assign you people and funds, you hurry up and implement this case!"

Hearing this.

Wu Xiongfei saluted Niu Jianbin respectfully, nodded heavily and said, "Secretary Niu, rest assured. My brothers and I will not let the leaders down even if we don't eat or drink. We will make the case as soon as possible!"

It was the first time that Wu Xiongfei showed great respect for his leader Niu Jianbin.

Niu Jianbin didn't know whether he was relieved or sighing. He nodded to Wu Xiongfei, then waved his hand and said, "Go ahead. I believe you can do it!"

...

Sitting in the car back to Pingyang, Gao Lingyue's face was gloomy and he didn't say a word to Wan Zhenting along the way.

Zhai Yuhan called him several times, but he didn't answer any of them.

How could he answer it? How should I respond? Could it be that I was criticized by a small county magistrate in Shannan?

Where would he put his face?

It was not until he arrived at Pingyang Dongsheng Hotel and was alone that he took out his cell phone and called Pei Yulin.

He just didn't believe that Li Lin would dare to disobey Governor Pei's words!
