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...
Wang Changhai was stunned at first, because such issues had always been discussed privately before and had never been raised at a meeting.
During Lu Yu Ming's administration, few members of the team knew how many construction teams were cooperating with the township government.
Not to mention the scale of these construction teams and the channels through which they entered the township government.
Wang Changhai said with some embarrassment, "Secretary, I think I should report this matter to you separately later."
No one was surprised.
However, Li Lin smiled and said, "Just tell me directly. I just want all the comrades in the team to know the real situation of our township."
"This..." Wang Changhai looked embarrassed.
Seeing Wang Changhai hesitate to speak, Yang Ping could not help but said, "Chairman Wang, just tell me what's going on. With so many of us here, can't we solve it?"
It’s because there are so many people that I can’t speak!
In the past, construction teams had a single line of contact with Lu Yu Ming or Wang Changhai, and they kept a private account of what projects they had completed and how much they had been paid for.
Once it is made public, even if you have not received any benefits from it, you will still be suspected!
"Secretary...look..." Wang Changhai couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
Li Lin's face gradually darkened.
Wang Changhai had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "There are three construction teams in the village now, all of whom are related to Lu Yu Ming in the past."
Li Lin then said, "No matter who the relationship is, the township will immediately terminate its cooperation with these construction teams."
"In addition, from now on, whether it is for city or provincial inspections, we can no longer engage in face-saving projects such as whitewashing as we did in the past."
Everyone agreed with Li Lin's words.
They all knew that the large area of whitewashing was purely a face-saving project to deal with inspections from superiors.
It costs money and the common people don't benefit at all.
"But Secretary Li, other towns and villages are doing this. If we act differently, will it cause dissatisfaction among other towns and villages? Will it affect our superiors' views of our township?" Wang Changhai said cautiously.
"I am the Party Secretary of Weishui Township. Other townships are not under my jurisdiction. We just need to do our own thing and not care what others say." Li Lin said seriously.
"Okay, Secretary Li, I know what to do." Wang Changhai nodded in agreement.
"From now on, all projects involving Weishui Township will go through formal procedures, with bidding where necessary and negotiation where necessary, and the final decision on which construction company will be chosen will be made public."
"If the construction quality of the contractor is not up to standard, not only should the cooperation relationship be terminated immediately, but they should also be held accountable according to the law!"
"Everyone knows that our township is a poor one. I am now the head of our township, which is equivalent to the head of a family. If I don't know how to run the business and save money, our township will soon not even be able to pay salaries!"
"By then, how can I face the more than 100 cadres and staff of the township? If these employees cannot get their salaries, will they still work wholeheartedly for the township government?"
"The answer is definitely no! By then, the township government will become an empty shell. Who will the people go to for help? Where can they go to get things done?"
"So, comrades, the times are different now. While we are tightening our belts to make ends meet, we must also use our talents to run for money, to ask for money! To attract investment! ... Only in this way can our township continue to grow and develop!"
"Okay, that's all I have to say today. Meeting adjourned!"
Everyone dispersed one by one.
This little meeting was very inspiring.
When Lu Yu Ming was around, many things were not said openly.
Not to mention making the cooperating construction team public for everyone to see...that's simply not something I dare to think about.
Now all work is done through formal procedures, which largely avoids confusion between public and private affairs and collusion between officials and businessmen...
It doesn't matter who they are, they must stand on the stage and accept public scrutiny!
The era of Lu Yu Ming is gone forever.
The current Weishui Township is just like the blue sky above our heads, making people feel full of energy and relaxed!
Back to the office.
Yang Ping followed in.
As soon as she entered the house, she couldn't help but say, "I've been really worried about you these past two days. I'm really afraid that you'll be brought down by the Lu family..."
Li Lin smiled knowingly, and did not say much to comfort her. He just said lightly, "Evil cannot prevail over good. You should believe me."
"I believe you! But, I still can't help but worry."
She was a little emotional.
Li Lin hurriedly stopped her and said, "I'm going to the provincial capital tomorrow. I'll leave the work in the village to you."
Yang Ping frowned, "You just said at the meeting that you wanted to attract investment, are you going to ask your female classmate for help?"
Female classmate? After a moment of hesitation, Li Lin realized that she was talking about Liu Yuan, the vice president of Longjian Group.
Li Lin smiled and teased her, "If they can really lend a hand and support us with a few hundred million, it is only right for me to ask them for help."
"Humph!" Yang Ping frowned, "What will you do if she takes the opportunity to ask you to spend the night with her?"
"I can see that your female classmate has bad intentions towards you!"
Li Lin smiled, "Whether or not to spend the night with her depends mainly on how much money she invests in us..."
"You... I knew you were a coward! You have no ambition at all." Yang Ping said angrily.
"Alright, alright, stop making a fuss. When I said I'd spend a night with her, I meant drinking with her. This is work, this is a social event. You got the wrong idea." Li Lin said with a smile.
"I still don't know what you are thinking... If you can control yourself and just drink with me... humph, I won't have the last name Yang." Yang Ping crossed her arms and pouted angrily.
