Yang Wanquan smiled and said, "What's the big deal? Don't provincial leaders have some private matters? If he wants to meet someone privately, he doesn't necessarily have to go through our municipal party committee and government, right?"

Tian Baoguang suddenly had an idea and said, "I heard that Minister Cheng has a special relationship with the county party secretary of Shannan. Could he have gone to Shannan?"

Guo Xuecai and Yang Wanquan suddenly woke up and exclaimed in unison, "Li Lin?"

Yang Wanquan slapped his thigh and said, "Yes! How could I forget about him! Minister Li Lan and Minister Cheng have a good relationship, and Li Lin is Minister Li Lan's younger brother. At the beginning, Minister Cheng..."

He lowered his voice mysteriously and said to the two, "Minister Cheng criticized Peng Yutao harshly for Li Lin! It made Peng Yutao extremely embarrassed! It can be seen that Minister Cheng Wei is very protective of Li Lin! If you say that he went to see Li Lin, I think it should be correct! Otherwise, who would have such a big face to let the Provincial Party Committee Propaganda Minister go to see him!"

Guo Xuecai had also heard this rumor, but he was indignant and said sarcastically, "Is Li Lin that awesome? Let the minister go to see him? Tsk~ I don't think so... Maybe Minister Cheng is going to do something else? Who the hell is Li Lin..."

When Tian Baoguang saw Guo Xuecai belittling Li Lin, he knew that the two of them definitely did not get along.

He smiled and said, "Secretary Guo, I think this is possible. Although I am not working in Pingyang, I have heard a lot of rumors about Li Lin. This person is not a simple person... Otherwise, Secretary Qian Lingyun would not hold him in the palm of his hand... It is said that Qian Lingyun was able to turn things around because of his relationship with Li Lin."

Guo Xuecai chuckled and said, "Secretary Tian, ​​you must be kidding! Can Li Lin influence the appointment of a department-level cadre? If he had that ability, he would have climbed to the sky long ago... I think it's all nonsense!"

Yang Wanquan said, "What Secretary Tian said may not be untrue. You forgot that although Li Lin was only a section-level cadre at the time, his sister was a standing member of the provincial organization department... She wanted to promote a department-level cadre, so she must have the ability to do so!"

Although Guo Xuecai also agreed with what the two said, he strongly disapproved of Li Lin as a person!

So if anyone says Li Lin is good, he will retort that Li Lin is not good.

Belittling Li Lin is purely for one's own pleasure!

Seeing that what the two said was very convincing, Guo Xuecai sneered again, "If what you said is true, now that Minister Cheng is injured and Minister Li is here, where is Li Lin? Shouldn't he rush over to express his condolences?... If Minister Cheng and Minister Li really value him so much, shouldn't they call him as soon as possible? He hasn't shown up at the hospital yet, I think he just doesn't know! So, the two ministers may not think highly of him!"

That’s true!

Yang Wanquan and Tian Baoguang did not refute, but shook their heads helplessly and smiled.

Just when Guo Xuecai was feeling proud, Li Lin appeared at the end of the corridor.

Yang Wanquan pointed at Li Lin at the end of the corridor and said with a smile, "Hey! Speak of the devil! Here he comes! You have nothing to say now, right? Li Lin is here!"

Tian Baoguang also smiled and said, "Oh, that's Li Lin? First time seeing him, so young... he has a bright future!"

Guo Xuecai looked at Li Lin who was getting closer and closer, his face was so gloomy that water seemed to be dripping out... He turned his back and looked out the window, not wanting to meet Li Lin.

Yang Wanquan smiled and said, "Secretary Guo, admit it! Li Lin has a really close relationship with Minister Cheng and Minister Li! Think about it, Minister Cheng's injury was kept secret by the provincial party committee, and few people knew about it... But Li Lin received the letter. If it wasn't Minister Li or Minister Cheng who notified him, who else could it be?"

Guo Xuecai was so angry that hot air came out of his nose...Every time he saw Li Lin, nothing good happened. This time he lost face in front of his colleagues again.

Soon Li Lin came over.

He also ignored Guo Xuecai and directly reached out to Yang Wanquan and said, "Mayor Yang, you are here too?"

Yang Wanquan said, "I just received the news and ran over immediately. Who could have thought that this would happen..."

Yang Wanquan then introduced Li Lin, "This is Secretary Tian from Ningzhou, who has come to visit Minister Cheng."

Li Lin smiled and shook hands with him, "Hello, Minister Tian."

Tian Baoguang shook Li Lin's hand vigorously, patted his shoulder and said with a smile, "Young and promising... When will you come to our Ningzhou to take up a post? And come and help us with economic construction! Hehehe..."

Li Lin didn't have time to chat with them. He was worried about Cheng Wei's injury.

Therefore, Li Lin just perfunctorily said, "Secretary Tian has many capable people under him. I'm afraid I won't be able to get a rank if I go..."

Tian Baoguang smiled even more brightly and said, "How modest! I like young people like this, hahaha... If there is a chance, I will definitely compete with your Secretary Guo for talent! Hahaha..."

As he said this, he turned to look at Guo Xuecai, who was looking out the window with a gloomy face, and said jokingly, "Old Guo, you don't feel bad about taking Li Lin away, do you?"

Guo Xuecai said with a fake smile, "Of course I am willing to let him go... I am just afraid that Secretary Tian will not be able to win him over! After all, didn't you also say that he is young and promising, with a bright future... Haha... Maybe one day he will fly away because he thinks your temple is too small!"

Tian Baoguang laughed and said, "If you don't want to release him, then don't release him. You, Old Guo, have also learned to insult others. My Ningzhou temple is small, okay? I'll keep that talent for you, okay? Hahaha..."

Guo Xuecai let out a barely perceptible sneer from the corner of his mouth. In fact, he wished Li Lin would get out of Pingyang as soon as possible so as not to be an eyesore to him. But he also knew that Tian Baoguang was just joking, and it would be boring if he took it seriously.
